The NORs 10-11 occurrence is located on a steep hill side to the south of Noomas Creek, at an elevation of 750 metres.

The area is underlain by north striking carbonates and calcareous sediments of the Quatsino and Parson Bay formations overlying Karmutsen Formation tholeiitic basalts, all of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group. Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group andesitic to rhyodacitic lava, tuff, breccia and minor sediments are coeval with, or genetically related to, granodiorite of the Nimpkish batholith of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. Strong, regional north to northwest trending faults, often defining intrusive and lithological contacts, traverse the area.

Locally, a mineralized, siliceous diopside-garnet skarn zone occurs along a Quatsino limestone-Karmutsen greenstone contact. Sulphide mineralization consists of sphalerite, molybdenite, chalcopyrite and bornite. In 1989, sampling of large talus blocks immediately below the cliff outcrop assayed up to 1.17 grams per tonne gold, 51 grams per tonne silver, 8.3 per cent copper, 4.96 per cent zinc and 0.18 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 20092).

Work History

During 1989 through 2006, J.W. Laird completed programs of rock sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Nimpkish and CBL 1-10 claims. In 2017, Selkirk Metals Corp. completed program of rock and soil sampling on the Storey Creek property. In 2019, Ridgeline Exploration Services completed a 454.3 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Nimpkish (Wolf) property.
