The Fox 1-10 occurrence is located in a former road quarry east of Native Creek, approximately 1.75 kilometres southeast of the creek mouth on Holberg Inlet.

The area is largely underlain by volcanics and sediments of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group, which are in fault contact with limestone of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group). The main belt of limestone lies to the west and east, with fault slices found north and south of the showing.

Locally, malachite- stained, maroon and green basaltic flows contain disseminated chalcopyrite. The volcanic host rock has been intensely sheared. Shearing is related to a fault striking 10 degrees with a vertical dip. In 1993, a grab sample assayed 1.41 per cent copper and 2.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 23376).

Across the creek, approximately 200 metres to the south, azurite, malachite and chalcopyrite occur along the margins of calcite veins and veinlets up to 5 centimetres in width and 0.5 metre long. Occasional narrow, elongate masses of chalcopyrite also occur along fractures. Limonite and sericite alteration is noted. In 1993, a rock sample (FX2) assayed 0.266 per cent copper (Assessment Report 23376).

Molybdenite and malachite mineralization is noted as occurring on a logging road, approximately 350 metres to the east-southeast of main showing. In 1993, a rock sample (FX5) assayed 0.17 per cent copper (Assessment Report 23376).

Work History

In 1993, the area was prospected as the Fox claims by D.J. Pawliuk.

In 2018 and 2019, District Metals Corp. completed programs of prospecting, geological and structural mapping, geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling and an 804 line-kilometre airborne geophysical (VTEM) survey on the area as the Bakar property.
