The Gordon Creek area is underlain by schist, amphibolite and minor ultramafic rocks assigned to the Mesozoic Settler Schist. These rocks have been intruded both from the north and south by quartz diorite, diorite and granodiorite of the Early and Middle Cretaceous Spuzzum Intrusions and are bound, to the east, by the Hope fault.
At the Victor showing, garnet-biotite schist hosts a small, concordant mass of ultramafic rock containing disseminated nickeliferous pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. The mass strikes northeast, dips shallowly to the northwest and varies from 4 to 10 metres in width. Compositionally, it varies from gabbro-pyroxenite through amphibolite, norite and peridotite and has been traced on surface for approximately 110 metres. A narrow pegmatite dyke parallels the hanging wall contact and oxidized sericitic schist occurs along the footwall. A small exposure of quartz diorite has been mapped to the north and is believed to be related to the emplacement of the ultramafic mass.
Copper and nickel, as well as low precious and platinum group metal values are associated with the sulphide mineralization. Indicated reserves based on nine holes drilled in 1973 were estimated at 145,120 tonnes grading 0.38 per cent nickel and 0.12 per cent copper (Sookochoff, 1979).
Mineralization exposed at the Victor occurrence is reported to be similar to that developed at the Pride of Emory mine (092HSW004) to the south, which produced over 4.3 million tonnes of ore averaging 0.77 per cent nickel and 0.34 per cent copper.
Doublestar Resources Ltd. acquired an interest in the property in 1998.
