The South Gossan zone is located west of the southern arm of Le Mare Lake.

The area is entirely underlain by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group intermediate to felsic volcanic flows and pyroclastics. The rocks have undergone low-grade metamorphism as exhibited by the presence of zeolite and laumontite.

Locally, copper mineralization flanks the (argillic, phyllic, and advanced argillic) alteration zones occurring in volcanic wallrocks. Mineralization occurs as massive fine-grained chalcopyrite and bornite-chalcocite-covellite veinlets and fractures, or as disseminated fine- grained chalcopyrite associated with black chlorite-magnetite-hydrobiotite(?) in mafic volcanic alteration.

Work History

Between 2008 and 2012, New Destiny Mining completed various programs of geological mapping, prospecting, trenching and geochemical sampling on the Le Mare claims. In 2014, a small program of geological mapping, prospecting and examination of workings was conducted by J.T. Shearer, the property owner. In 2016, J.T. Shearer completed a further program of geological mapping on the Le Mare property. The property was examined in 2017 by W.B. Lennan on the behalf of Le Mare Gold Corp. Also at this time, J.T. Shearer completed a minor program of rock sampling and a 6.1 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the Le Mare property. In 2020, J.T. Shearer completed a minor program of rock sampling and a 5.8 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the Le Mare property.
