The Kringle showing is located on the east side of the Adam River, approximately 11 kilometres east-southeast of the community of Sayward.

The area is underlain by the volcanic rocks of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) and limestones of the Triassic Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group). These are near the contact with the Jurassic Adam River batholith to the east. Early altered dikes are near, and fresh porphyry dikes cut, the altered contact.

Locally, sulphides occur as veins cutting, garnet skarns, granodiorite, and feldspar porphyries, and as replacement masses at contacts between rock types, especially marble and garnetite. Sulphide mineralization consists of bornite along with, and among, magnetite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite (?), and pyrite. Local masses of wollastonite are also reported.

In 2002, a sample (E187880) of malachite-stained, argillically altered felsite(?) returned 7.05 per cent copper, 67.2 grams per tonne silver. Another sample (E187881) returned 0.112 per cent molybdenum with 0.203 per cent copper. Samples of massive magnetite yielded up to 36.7 per cent iron (Assessment Report 26930).

In 2006, a sample (A8-79) assayed 0.018 per cent molybdenum and 0.218 per cent vanadium, whereas a sample (L505.50) of granite with pyrite and chalcopyrite assayed 1.14 per cent copper (Assessment Report 31039).

Work History

During 2002 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as the Kringle 1-4 claims. 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.
