The Ginger B occurrence is located approximately 5.5 kilometres south of Darb Lake (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 251).

Regionally, the area is underlain by a northwest trending assemblage of Upper Triassic Takla Group volcanics and sediments. The Takla Group rocks are intruded by the Early Jurassic Hogem batholith, to the south. To the east, the rocks are intruded by leucocratic granodiorite of the Early Cretaceous Kliyul Creek body. To the north, the volcanics are intruded by quartz diorite of the Early Jurassic Darb Lake stock. The major structure in this area is the north trending Dortatelle fault. Smaller faults trend northwest.

Locally, the area is underlain predominantly by dark green tuffs with intercalated breccias and porphyritic (hornblende) andesites. A few thin beds of limy slates, containing poorly preserved fossils, are intercalated with the volcanics. The rocks generally strike north and dip approximately 45 degrees to the west.

The showing consists of mineralized quartz veins containing pyrite and occasional grains of chalcopyrite and galena. One quartz vein, striking 155 degrees and dipping 80 degrees west, is 0.9 metre thick and has been exposed for 21 metres. A 0.5-metre channel sample from this vein assayed 21.94 grams per tonne gold. Another channel sample, taken 6 metres away, assayed 23.0 grams per tonne gold across 0.43 metre (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 251).

In 2015, Teck Resources collected a single sample from the Ginger area at the historic Ginger B vein and a second sample was taken at the newly named “Cardamom Zone”. Sample 2614503 (at the Ginger B) was taken from the 1.5 metre wide, 132 degrees/82 degree-oriented Ginger B vein. This grab sample confirmed the presence of high-grade gold with an assay result of 53.6 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 35978). The sample was taken from a white-coloured, near-vertical quartz-pyrite vein hosted within strongly oxidized mafic volcaniclastic rocks. The UTM location was 674990 East, 6266453 North.

WORK HISTORY.

From 1946 to 1947, Sturgeon Gold Mines sampled several quartz-sulphide veins on their Ginger claims with one channel sample returning 47 grams per tonne gold and 96 grams per tonne silver over 0.66 metres (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1947, page 102-104),

In 1992 Noranda carried out 1:5,000 scale geological and alteration mapping and in 1993, they drilled 6 reverse circulation holes on the Kliyul skarn zone (Assessment Report 23033) and followed up with an airborne magnetic, electromagnetic, and radiometric survey (Assessment Report 23379). This airborne survey also covered the Ginger B occurrence and about 24 other occurrences.

Noranda optioned Golden Rule’s JO claims to the west and south of the KLI claims, along with ground to the north and southeast of the current Kliyul property. Noranda completed a program of test-pitting in the vicinity of the magnetite. They reported a second magnetite zone near the northern boundary of the property with the best chip sample grading 0.6 per cent copper and 1 gram per tonne gold across 1.5 metres in a melanocratic diorite (Assessment Report 23379). The Ginger B vein was relocated and re-sampled, with the best 2 metre chip sample assaying 13 grams per tonne gold and 15.2 grams per tonne silver across pyritic andesite with 30 to 50 per cent quartz veining (Assessment Report 23379).

In 2013, Kiska Metals and Teck Resources conducted geological and alteration mapping at a scale of 1:5,000 and detailed (1:1,000) over the Kliyul Main Zone. A 29.9 line-kilometre induced polarization and ground magnetic survey was conducted. A reinterpretation and review of the previously drilled core was done to confirm the porphyry potential of the zone (Assessment Report 34890).

In 2015, Teck drilled 4 diamond drill holes at the main Kliyul occurrence totaling 1,908 metres accompanied by induced polarization and magnetometer ground geophysical surveys, geological mapping, rock sampling and re-logging of historic drill core. The work was done on Ginger B and BAP during this program. All four holes intersected anomalous copper and gold porphyry-style mineralization including 0.18 per cent copper and 0.53 gram per tonne gold over 245 metres in KLI-15-034 and 162.4 metres of 0.2 per cent copper and 0.26 gram per tonne gold in KLI-15-033 (Assessment Report 35978).
