The CBL (B zone) occurrence is located on the northeast side of Storey Creek, at an elevation of approximately 860 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 zone, 10 metres in width, of recrystallized limestone and skarn with magnetite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and malachite is exposed near a major intrusive contact. In 1995, a lone grab sample assayed 1.38 per cent copper and 36.4 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 24207).

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 2019, Ridgeline Exploration Services completed a 454.3 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Nimpkish (Wolf) property.
