The Allard showing is located on the south east side of a north- northeast flowing tributary of Mayo Creek, approximately 7.5 kilometres west of Kitsumkalum Lake, 35 kilometres northwest of Terrace, B.C.
Regionally, the area is underlain by Jurassic to Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group sediments which have been intruded by granodiorite and diorite of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. The sediments consist of a northeast striking, southeast dipping sequence of banded siltstone, shale, argillite and minor conglomerate, sandstone and tuff.
Locally, quartz veins probably carry pyrite, chalcopyrite, and molybdenite.
Another zone of mineralization, referred to as the Moly zone, is reported near the west side of a small lake approximately 1.5 kilometres to the north east.
Work History
In 1968, Rio Tinto Canadian Exploration Limited held the 30 claim Allard claim group on the northeast slope of Mount Allard. Reconnaissance geological mapping was done on the claims and soil and silt samples were sent for analysis.
By 2003, Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. had acquired the 500-unit Kalum property to cover the Allard stock, a 4 by 11 kilometre intrusion that has been mapped west of Kitsumkalum Lake. The Kalum property encompasses several historically documented occurrences referred to in their 2003 Assessment Report 27417: Kalum (103I 019), Burn (103I 211), Quartz Silver (103I 018), Misty (103I 213), Chris (103I 174), Martin (103I 020) and Hat (103I 173). Several new discoveries were also described.
In 2004, Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. continued exploration for an intrusive-related gold deposit on its Kalum property. The program comprised a 1500-line kilometer airborne geophysical survey, on-the-ground evaluation of targets and the drilling of 19 holes, totaling 1958 meters. The geophysical survey recovered magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic data.
In 2005, Eagle Plains Resources completed a program of soil, silt and rock sampling and geological mapping on the area.
In 2007, Mountain Capital Inc. optioned the property and in 2008 undertook a program of soil and rock sampling, a 4.1 line-kilometre induced polarization survey and 11 diamond drill holes on the Burn (MINFILE 103I 211) occurrence area. The option was terminated in May of 2009.
In 2009, Windstorm Resources Inc. entered into a Letter of Intent with Eagle Plains to earn a 60 per cent interest in the property and completed a program of prospecting, geochemical sampling and an induced polarization survey on the area.
In 2010, a program of geological mapping and six diamond drill holes, totalling 419.11 metres, were completed on the Tuppie-Cirque (MINFILE 103I 228) occurrence.
In early 2012, Clemson Resources Corp. entered into an Option Agreement with Eagle Plains Resources to acquire a 60 per cent interest in the property.
In 2019, Gold Fountain Resources undertook a program of rock, soil and silt sampling several kilometres east of the Allard showing resulting in the discovery of two new gold showings (Poznan and Opole) on their Kalum Gold property (Assessment Report 38630).
