The Asitka Lake occurrence is located approximately 3.4 kilometres northwest of Asitka Lake and 4 kilometres east of Sustut Lake. The regional geology is similar to that of the Arjay (094D 011) occurrence which lies 1.5 kilometres to the west.

Locally, the area is underlain by the Upper Triassic Savage Mountain Formation (Takla Group). The formation consists of greenish to red-brown intermediate porphyritic flows, chloritic tuffs and agglomerates, and minor intercalated epiclastic sediments. These stratified rocks are intruded by the Early Jurassic Asitka Peak quartz diorite stock.

There is very little information on the copper mineralization (located on Canadian Superior Exploration map) except that it is hosted within the volcanics and is in close proximity to a quartz diorite body to the south. It is likely that this mineralization is similar to the Arjay occurrence (094D 011).

In 1991, Corona Corporation collected a 1.25 metre chip sample from Asitka Lake vicinity. The sample, which assayed 8.41 per cent copoper was described as a quartz stockwork vein containing bornite and malachite (Geochemical Map, Sample 64524, Assessment Report 22018). The vein was hosted in conglomerate.

In 2018, Serengeti collected about 11 samples in the Asitka Lake vicinity. The property yielded 3 high grade copper samples along a small 0.1 to 1 metre wide quartz shear zone that appears to be continuous along 250 metres. Two of the samples graded greater than 10 per cent copper and one graded 5 per cent copper; silver grades were 672, 62 and 48 grams per tonne (Assessment Report 38158). Zinc was anomalous. Sample 3222975 was described as being hosted in red, intermediate boulder conglomerate with a stockwork zone hosting vuggy quartz veins containing malachite, covelite and chalcocite(?). It is reported that the outcrop was previously sampled/trenched over a 15 metre strike length.

WORK HISTORY

The SIT claim group, staked in 1990 for Corona Corporation, includes the Sit 1 (242823, Sit 2 (242828, Sit 5 (242831), Sit 6 (242832) and Sit 7 (242833) claims. Geological mapping was performed 1991. Work included 25 man-days in the field, when 100 rock and 24 moss mat samples were collected (Assessment Report 22018). Corona Corporation prospected a large area between Asitka Lake on the south and Johanson Creek on the north. A number of earlier discovered showings and some new ones were visited.

In 2018, Serengeti Resources completed a one day “first pass” exploration on the Arjay property in order to determine if further work was warranted (Assessment Report 38158). These samples were taken just east of Asitika Lake showing recorded in MINFILE 094D 146).
