The Kringle Blue occurrence is located southwest of the Adam River, approximately 400 metres north-northwest of Rooney Lake.
The area to the west of the Adam River is underlain mainly by the upper part of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation, comprising mainly thick massive flows with local intercalations of amygdaloidal basalt and pods of autoclastic breccias, pillowed and massive flows with thin intercalations of volcaniclastic and limy sandstones, all cut by thin dolerite/gabbro sills.
Locally, a malachite stained “blue” quartz vein is hosted by massive basalt. In 2006, sampling yielded up to 0.681 per cent copper, 6.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.266 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 28328).
Work History
During 2006 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as part of the Kringle North 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.
