The location of the occurrence, within the Easy claim group, from Assessment Report 3008 is uncertain and may coincide with the Kyu occurrence (MINFILE 092L 174).

The area is underlain by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group inter- mediate to felsic flows and pyroclastics. Minor calcareous sediments of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group, Parson Bay and Quatsino formations are in fault contact with the volcanic rocks. A diorite stock of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite occurs at the head of Kashutl Inlet, 4.0 kilometres to the northeast.

The Easy occurrence is described as a wide- spread zone hosting minor chalcopyrite and pyrite associated with quartz veins in volcanics and sediments (Assessment Report 3008).

Work History

In 1970, the Kyuquot Syndicate completed a program of reconnaissance silt and soil sampling on the area as the Easy claims. In 1980, the area was prospected by J.C. Stephen Explorations. In 1982, BP Minerals Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as the Sin 1-7 claims. During 1986 through 1989, Taywin Resources completed programs of geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the Sin 1-7 claims.
