The Garry occurrence is located on a ridge south of Menard Creek and west of the Ingenika River, approximately 153 kilometres north-northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.
The regional and local geology is similar to that of the ARD occurrence (MINFILE 094D 090) located 2 kilometres west-northwest.
Basaltic Savage Mountain Formation volcanics (Upper Triassic Takla Group) are cut by northwest trending, pink porphyritic granodiorite dikes. A shear zone in altered reddish green basalt trends 120 degrees across a ridge crest. Alteration in the zone includes development of epidote, carbonate and hematite. Mineralization is most evident in several square metres of malachite and azurite-stained rubble. The showing, typical of other minor showings in the area, is notable because it is adjacent to a pyrite-silica gossan about 5 metres wide, with the same general trend. Rocks to the north of the showing are mapped as reddish, weakly porphyritic, epidotized basalt; to the south there are grey andesitic lath porphyries and minor lithic tuff breccia. In 1997, a grab sample of stained material assayed 0.35 per cent copper (Open File 2001-2).
In 2015, mineralization was identified as predominantly secondary copper mineralization (malachite) within epidote altered volcanics with mineralization localized to narrow shear zones and within localized gossans. Localized pyrite and chalcopyrite as disseminations and veinlets was also identified. Several narrow diorite dikes were located with common gossan developing at contact with Takla volcanics. Best results from sampling include 1.12 per cent copper and 0.459 gram per tonne gold from rock sample R203478 (Assessment Report 35565).
In 2021, a grab sample (D704047) of malachite-stained quartz vein assayed 0.466 per cent copper and 0.293 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 40029).
Work History
In 2015, High Power Exploration conducted property wide, broadly spaced geochemical sampling and reconnaissance style mapping and prospecting on key target areas on their large Menard property which covers eight occurrences (ARD, 094D 090); Kim, 094D 174; Overstall, 094D 154; Verna, 094D 173; Menard Pass, 094D 049; Garry (this description); Nightfly, 094D 155; and Nikos, 094D 085. A total of 10 days field work were completed and included the collection of 78 stream silt sediment samples of first and second order creeks across the property, the collection of 202 “B” horizon samples on topographic contour lines on approximately 100 metre-spaced samples in areas with outcrop or thin cover, and the collection of 294 "Ah" horizon soil samples on topographic contour lines with 100 metre-spaced samples in areas with thick till cover. Several recorded MINFILE occurrences and key target areas were prospected. A total of 59 rock chip samples were also collected during prospecting traverses.
In 2021, Wedgemount Resources Corp. completed a program of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and spectral analysis on the area as the regionally extensive Cookie property.
