The Macaroon occurrence is located west of Rooney Creek, approximately 300 metres south-southwest of its junction with the Adam River.

The area to the west of the Adam River is underlain mainly by the upper part of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation, comprising mainly thick massive flows with local intercalations of amygdaloidal basalt and pods of autoclastic breccias, pillowed and massive flows with thin intercalations of volcaniclastic and limy sandstones, all cut by thin dolerite/gabbro sills.

Locally, a highly sheared and strained silicified, chloritic and epidotic andesite hosts sulphide mineralization. Small dodecahedrons of reddish-brown garnet occur with epidote and felsitic rocks. In 2004, sampling yielded up to 2.4 per cent copper and 21.7 grams per tonne silver with anomalous values in gold and palladium (Assessment Report 27463).

Work History

During 2004 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and rocks sampling on the area as the Macaroon 5 claim of the Kringle North property. In 2018, Crest Resources Inc. completed a program of prospecting, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, trenching and a 24.0 line-kilometre ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Red Metal Ridge property.
