The Page occurrence is situated in the Duckling Creek area of the Swannell Ranges (Omineca Mountains), 61 kilometres northeast of Takla Landing.
The Page occurrence is part of the Jajay property which includes the Lorraine prospect (093N 002). Lysander Minerals Corp. discovered the Page mineralization on its Steele 3 claim in 1999. Eastfield Resources Ltd. optioned the Jajay in 2000. See the Lorraine description for more details.
The area is underlain by mesozonal plutonic rocks assigned to the Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous Hogem Intrusive Complex which have been emplaced into volcanic rocks of the Middle Triassic-Lower Jurassic Takla Group, east of the Pinchi fault zone. The plutonic rocks form an elongate batholith, extending from Chuchi Lake, north to the Mesilinka River. The structural setting of the batholith and the intruded Takla Group is one of vertical tectonics associated with graben development (Bulletin 70).
Mapping carried out in the area in the early 1970s identified several intrusive phases of the Hogem complex including diorite, monzonite, pyroxenite, pegmatite and syenite. The latter rock unit (syenite) likely belongs to the Middle Jurassic Duckling Creek Syenite Complex. The more mafic phases also host accessory magnetite.
In 1999, prospecting and sampling yielded a number of geochemical anomalies in talus fines, soil samples and the discovery of a zone of malachite stained, mineralized syenite. Mineralization consists of disseminated blebs of pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite in medium-grained, malachite stained, magnetite-rich, grey syenite. The mineralization, which is found adjacent to the south side of a shear zone, was traced discontinuously for approximately 50 metres. Visibly mineralized grey syenite assayed 0.71 per cent copper and 0.97 gram per tonne gold. A 10-centimetre wide quartz vein in the shear zone contained disseminated specks of bornite and pyrite and yielded 19.0 grams per tonne gold when assayed (Property File - Page, J.W., 1999).
In 2010, Teck Resources Limited conducted a spectral and lithogeochemical sampling of historic drill core and soil sampling program on the Too Good and Bishop zones of the Lorraine-Jajay property. Soils were sampled for pH and copper, molybdenum, zinc, lead, and gold with anomalous geochemical results within both sampled zones.
