The Krisp showing is located on the southeast side of the Island Highway, east of Rooney Lake. The showing was discovered in 2005 by M. Schau and subsequently sampled.

The area is underlain by Karmutsen basalts, as a mix of autoclastic breccias, pillowed and massive flows with thin intercalations of volcaniclastic and limey sandstones cut by thin dolerite/gabbro sills.

Locally, a mineralized Tertiary (?) shear system(s) with epidote± magnetite bearing sulphide disseminations in and adjacent to a shear zone and hydrothermal system associated (?) with a nearby contact between the Triassic Vancouver Group and the Jurassic Adam River batholith.

In 2005, a grab sample of vein material containing chalcopyrite mineralization returned values up to 6.33 per cent copper, 18.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.212 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 27736).

In 2018, a sample (R23) assayed 1.36 per cent copper and 6.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 38134; MacIntyre, D. (2018-07-18): Technical Report - Red Metal Ridge Mineral Property).

Work History

In 1969, Newconex completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the Rooney claims. The same year, Ameda Copper Mines completed a program of soil sampling, geological mapping and a ground geophysical survey over the area immediately to the north as the CV and Plus claims. In 1972. Sayward Explorations completed a program of rocks and soil sampling, geological mapping and a ground magnetic survey. In 1988, Germa Minerals completed a program of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a ground electromagnetic survey. During 2004 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and rocks sampling on the area as the Oreo 1 and Krisp 1-6 claims of the Kringle Consolidated 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.
