The Flan North occurrence is located east of Schoen Creek, approximately 4.4 kilometres southeast of the creek mouth on Schoen Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by Upper Paleozoic limestones, exposed in low lying areas east of the claims. They are overlain by, the informally named, Daonella beds, a Middle Triassic unit of black shale and siliceous tuffaceous cherts, which in turn is overlain by the Karmutsen basalts, a thick pile of pillowed and massive sub-aqueous to subaerial lavas. Intrusive rocks include Lower to Upper Triassic diabase sills (emplaced mainly in the Daonella beds), and later, large Jurassic granodiorite plutons.

Locally, sparse out crops of highly stained pyritic and pyrrhotitic black shale or slate and thin diabase sills host copper mineralization, including chalcopyrite and minor malachite.

In 2008, samples yielded up to 1.589 per cent copper, 9.89 grams per tonne silver and 0.14 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 30471).

Work History

During 2000 through 2014, M. Schau, later with Interwest Enterprises Ltd., conducted numerous programs of geochemical (soil, silt and rock) and biogeochemical sampling, ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys, trenching, geological mapping and prospecting on the area as the Flan-Consolidated property.
