The Redton Central occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1650 metres on a steep slope, east of Kwanika Creek and approximately 6.5 kilometres north of the north end of Dukaihoonli Lake.
The area is underlain by an Early Jurassic phase of the Hogem Plutonic Suite of quartz monzonitic to monzogranitic composition.
In 2011, a single hornblende diorite rock sample along a ridge (sample M411107) assayed 0.48 gram per tonne gold, 3.5 grams per tonne silver and 0.09 per cent copper (Assessment Report 32504).
In 2019, a float sample (19EPP012) assayed 0.273 per cent copper, 2.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.281 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 38697).
Work History
During 2005 through 2010, Redton Resources and Geoinformatics Exploration Canada Inc. undertook work on the regionally extensive Redton property, which covered the Falcon (MINFILE 093N 068) occurrence to the south (just north of Nation Lake) and north to the Tak (MINFILE 093N 067) occurrence, approximately 6 kilometres south of the Omineca River. In 2005, a 5764.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed on the area as the Takla-Redton property. In 2006, a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt, and soil) sampling was completed on the property along with 12 diamond drill holes, totalling 4032.5 metres, on the Takla-Rainbow (MINFILE 093N 082) and Tak occurrences. In 2007 and 2008, programs of geochemical sampling (rock, silt, and soil) sampling, ground geophysical surveys and 10 diamond drill holes, totalling 3784.0 metres, were completed on the property. This work centred primarily on the Takla-Rainbow occurrence to the north and Falcon occurrence to the south. In 2010, a subsequent AeroTEM survey by Redton Resources identified 65 electromagnetic anomalies on the property.
During 2011 through 2014, Kiska Metals Corp. (previously Rimfire Minerals Corporation) completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt, and soil) sampling and ground geophysical surveys on the Redton property. A combined 11.2 line-kilometre ground induced polarization and magnetic survey was completed on the Halobia Creek area.
In 2019, Spearmint Resources Inc. completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on the area as the Safari property.
