The Top molybdenum showing is located approximately 4 kilometres southwest of Palisade Bluff, 145 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake, B.C.

The area is underlain by plutonic rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex.

Locally, molybdenite and chalcopyrite occur within a pegmatitic dikelet which cuts granodiorite. The dikelet is essentially parallel to a major joint set which strikes 130 degrees and dips steeply southeast; it averages 18 centimetres in thickness and was traced for 7.5 metres downdip.

A 15-centimetre wide by 3-metre-long mineralized channel sample assayed 0.3 gram per tonne gold, 0.16 per cent copper and 0.61 per cent molybdenum (Open File 1987-3).

Work History

During 2014 through 2019, Amarc Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (talus fines, rock chip and stream sediment) sampling, 163.6 line-kilometres of induced polarization surveys, 1069 line-kilometres of airborne magnetic surveys and 18 157 metres of diamond drilling on the area as part of the IKE project. The majority of the drilling (15 455.34 metres in 26 holes) was completed on the IKE (MINFILE 092O 025) occurrence. The TOP occurrence lies within Amarc's Empress high-grade copper-gold-silver deposit area (PR REL Jan 19, 2021).
