Capsule Geology

The Lower 343 Creek occurrence is located on the southwest side of the informally named 343 Creek, approximately 1 kilometre northwest of the creeks’ junction with the Finlay River.

The area is underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini (Takla) Group. An early Jurassic stock intrudes the strata. Granodiorite to monzonite is reported.

Locally the type of mineralization is not described.

In 2003, a grab sample (133979) assayed 0.365 grams per tonne gold, 636 grams per tonne silver, 4.073 per cent copper and 1.629 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 27429).

Work History

Refer to the Pine (MINFILE 094E 016) for details of the Pine property, which contained the VIP/Grace occurrences from the late 1990s to 2014. Exploration work included programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and airborne geophysical surveys. Also see the Electrum (MINFILE 094E 125) occurrence for details of historical property ownership and related occurrences and the Grace 1 (MINFILE 094E 129) occurrence for further details on the VIP skarn deposits.

During 2016 through 2018, Amarc Resources Ltd. completed programs of soil and rock sampling, geological mapping, 115.0 line-kilometres of ground induced polarization surveying and 1940.0 line-kilometres of airborne magnetic surveying on the area as the Joy property.
