The Falcon occurrence is located just west of the Illiance River headwaters, about 16.5 kilometres northeast of Alice Arm. The various showings which comprise this occurrence have been prospected since 1918 for lead, zinc and silver.
The region is underlain by Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics and sediments situated on the east limb of the north-northwest trending Mount McGuire anticline. These rocks have been regionally metamorphosed up to greenschist facies.
The Falcon occurrence comprises various showings hosted in a sequence of interbedded conglomerates, argillaceous sandstones, siltstones and tuffs. Three parallel shear zones hosted in tuff have been traced for up to 30 metres between 1189 and 1219 metres elevation. The zones are 0.6 to 1.5 metres wide, strike 012 degrees and dip steeply east. These zones contain sphalerite, galena and tetrahedrite in a brecciated quartz-carbonate gangue.
South of the shear zones, at 1105 metres elevation, irregular quartz-barite-siderite veins are locally mineralized with blebs of tetrahedrite. Nearby, at a similar elevation, a quartz vein is reported to assay 226 grams per tonne silver and 6.5 per cent lead (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1918, page 72). The vein is developed adjacent to a 6 metre wide dike and strikes 130 degrees. These showings are probably situated along the continuation of a north trending regional shear structure that hosts the Illy occurrence (103P 141) to the south.
In 2001, a program of reconnaissance geological mapping and geochemical sampling was carried out by Teck Cominco Ltd. over the Kit Group property to determine the geology and mineral potential and a total of 312 rock samples were collected for analysis.
In 2011, Bravo Gold Corp. carried out a wide ranging exploration program over their large Kinskuch property which included reconnaissance mapping and sampling, soil sampling, channel sampling, and diamond drilling four holes totalling 855.87 metres. One drillhole was completed on the Silver Bar North showing (103P 044), one hole on the United Metals showing (103P 141), and two holes on the Grey Goose showing (103P 140). At the Silver Bar North showing, drillhole KN11-001 was oriented to test high grade silver and base metal-bearing quartz veins. The hole intersected predominately hematite/chlorite/carbonate plus/minus sericite alteration. Non-sulphide bearing quartz-carbonate veins were intersected throughout the drillhole and traces of disseminated pyrite associated with weak sericite alteration were the only sulphides intersected. The drillhole failed to intersect any significant mineralization (Assessment Report 33561).
