The Hy 61 showing lies on the westerly slopes of Glossy Mountain about 10 kilometres southeast of the community of Ashcroft. Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Guichon Creek batholithic rocks comprising mainly quartz diorite and related dikes occur on the property. Fracturing is evident but not strongly developed. Trenching (ca. 1971) has exposed altered intrusive rock. The altered rock is strongly sheared and banded with abundant fine-grained biotite, augite and chlorite. Fracture fillings appear to be mainly very fine grained chlorite and calcite. Magnetite is widely scattered with very finely disseminated pyrite. Malachite staining is evident in some of the calcite-filled vuggy fractures.
Percussion drilling (3 holes) in 1977 in the vicinity of the trenches yielded up to 0.7 per cent zinc in drill chips. Mineralization consists of pyrite and pyrrhotite and sphalerite is presumed to be present because of the assay results (Assessment Report 6632).
In 1970, work on the Hy property on behalf of Eagle Bay Mines Ltd., Gibbex Mines Ltd. and Q.C. Explorations Ltd. consisted of ground electromagnetic, magnetometer and soil geochemical surveys. In 1971, geological mapping and magnetometer surveys were conducted on behalf of Q.C. Explorations Ltd. and Eagle Bay Mines Ltd. In 1977, geological mapping, induced polarization, magnetometer and geochemical surveys, and percussion drilling was undertaken on claims that covered the Hy property; this work was done on behalf of Bethlehem Copper Corporation.
