The Pad occurrence is located approximately 2 kilometres east of Mount Carruthers (Assessment Report 5047).

The occurrence is hosted in Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group) volcanics. Sediments of the Upper Triassic Dewar Formation (Takla Group) conformably underlie the volcanics. The Permian Asitka Group underlies the Dewar Formation. These rocks form a conformable, northeast dipping, succession which is terminated to the northeast by the northwest trending Pinchi fault.

In the immediate area, siltstones and argillites of the Dewar Formation are overlain by andesitic flows with interflow tuffs. The flows are porphyritic (plagioclase) to aphanitic in texture. Minor amounts of pyroclastics and agglomerates occur in the area.

Disseminated chalcocite and bornite occur in andesites and massive bornite and chalcocite, with minor chalcopyrite and malachite, occur in epidote-quartz veins. The veins are hosted in fractured porphyritic andesites. Small stockworks of chlorite, epidote and calcite veinlets contain disseminated to massive chalcocite and bornite with minor chalcopyrite. These are hosted in chloritized andesitic tuffs.

Other similar showings are found within 1 kilometre to the north and to the south, along the ridge from the plotted location.

WORK HISTORY

The PAD 1-12 claims were held during 1973-1974 by SEREM Ltd. Work included geological mapping, a geochemical soil survey (139 samples), and 320 metres of diamond drilling in 5 holes on PAD 11 and 12.

Two drill holes are plotted on a map in Assessment Report 5563 from the Mona Jean occurrence (094D 106) and appear to correspond to the SEREM Ltd. drilling reported for the PAD 11 and 12 claims. The map shows the holes approximately 350 to 400 metres from the PAD 11/12, No.2 claim post.

In 2013, the large Carruthers Property contained the PAD occurrence, but no work was reported to have occurred in that area (Assessment Report 34368).
