Capsule Geology

The Gold Ore showing is located on the west slope of Mount Rainey just north of the Silverado occurrence (103P 088), 2.5 kilometres southeast of Stewart.

The showing consists of two parallel, west striking quartz veins about 120 metres apart, hosted in greenstone of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group). The south vein contains sparse patches and disseminations of pyrrhotite and traces of galena, and the 2.7 metre wide north vein contains sparse pyrrhotite.

A sample of pyrrhotite with minor galena from the south vein assayed 0.66 gram per tonne gold and 1354 grams per tonne silver; and a 1.37 metre chip sample across the south vein assayed 0.33 gram per tonne gold, 168 grams per tonne silver and 1.61 per cent lead (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1925, page 83).

Work History

In 1981, Domody Resources Ltd. prospected the area Contact, Red Reef and Sky claims. During 1984 through 1987, Teuton Resources Corp. completed programs of prospecting, geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling and a 24 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area.

In 1990, Amphora Resources completed an 8.1 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic (VLF) survey on the area. In 1991 and 1994, Teuton Resources Corp. completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on the area as the Sky and Red Reef claims.

In 2018, Granby Gold Inc. completed an 88.25 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometry survey on the area.
