The JULY showing is located 500 metres northeast of Roger Lake, 5.5 kilometres northwest of the village of Eagle Creek on Canim Lake. The July showing and Beer showing (092P 125) are on the Canim West property, part of the currently explored Iron Lake property, which also includes the Island Lake (092P 132) prospect and the Cate (092P 182) and Lisa (092P 222) showings.

Pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization occurs as clots and as disseminated and impregnated grains in syenitic dikes which intrude a contact breccia zone between Triassic to Jurassic Takomkane batholith granite and Upper Triassic Nicola Group metavolcanics. Magnetite is present in all but the most leucocratic of the intrusive phases on the property, and occurs as pods, veinlets and disseminations.

In 2014, rock sampling in the July and Beer showings area produced assays of significant gold, silver and copper from float and outcrop samples. One sample of angular float collected in 2014 assayed 3.66 grams per tonne gold, 4.44 grams per tonne silver and 0.18 per cent copper. The narrow zone, located 700 metres north-northeast of the July showing, consists of weakly silicified and gossanous, medium-grained, well-fractured diorite with mafic minerals completely altered to epidote and chlorite. Minor potassium feldspar occurs on fractures and malachite and disseminated chalcopyrite are visible. This new zone (Wilkins, 092P 232) was confirmed in 2021 with further geological mapping and rock sampling.

WORK HISTORY

F.R. Gatchalian staked the July claims in July 1972 and conducted geological mapping, soil geochemical sampling and a ground magnetic survey. During this work, claim posts and flagging were found that indicated that the area had been staked and worked as the RL group in 1969 by Royal Canadian Ventures, and as the Nod group by Texas Gulf Sulfur in 1971. The Beer showing, 1700 metres northeast of July, had been covered by a number of claims and trenched by Aragon Exploration Limited in 1970. Soil and rock sampling and induced polarization/magnetometer surveys in the 1970s through early 1980s determined copper-in-soil and IP/mag anomalies in the area extending from Roger Lake (July showing) northeast to Judy and Beverly lakes, including the Beer showing (Assessment Reports 4265, 4266).

In 2014, the Canim West property, including the July and Beer showings, was acquired by Tech-X Resources Inc. Their initial exploration program involved geological and alteration mapping and rock sampling of altered and/or mineralized showings. A soil geochemistry grid was conducted over the central portion of the claims. This work has outlined copper, silver and gold in soil anomalies (Assessment Report 35201). Subsequently, the soil grid was expanded to the east in 2019 (Assessment Report 38651).

Work completed by Tech-X Resources in 2021 included an airborne EM-Mag survey, a LiDAR survey, hand trenching, rock sampling, geological mapping and petrography across several areas of the Iron Lake property (Assessment Report 39870). In 2022, Tech-X Resources and Eastfield Resources completed 48.3 line kilometres of induced polarization on their Iron Lake property, including the July area (Assessment Report 40980).
