The K079 occurrence is located at an elevation of 600 metres in the head waters of an unnamed northeast flowing tributary of Rooney Creek.

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 volcaniclastics and limy sandstones, all cut by thin dolerite/gabbro sills.

Locally, basalts host quartz-feldspar-epidote veins with sulphide mineralization. In 2006, a lone sample (K079) assayed 0.424 per cent copper, 3.0 grams per tonne silver, 1.17 grams per tonne gold and 0.11 gram per tonne palladium (Assessment Report 28328).

Work History

During 2006 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and rocks sampling on the area as 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.
