The Vimy Ridge showing is located about 9.0 kilometres northeast of Hastings Arm on the north side of O'Neil Creek (Kshwan River). The showing was investigated in 1922 for its polymetallic mineralization.
The region is underlain by a sequence of volcanics and sediments of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group that is intruded by the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex to the west. These rocks have been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.
The showing consists of a quartz breccia vein hosted in Hazelton Group andesite(?). It is 0.6 to 1.8 metres wide and has been traced for at least 30 metres. The vein is heavily mineralized with galena, sphalerite, pyrite and chalcopyrite in a gangue of quartz containing andesite and quartz diorite breccia fragments.
2018 exploration works on the Golddigger property by Goliath Resources Ltd. focused on areas east of Hastings Arm, including Vimy Ridge. Highlights include discoveries of multiple breccias, stockworks, and veins containing high grade gold and polymetallic mineralization. Exploration focused on extensive areas of recent glacial and snowpack abatement. Both an airborne magnetics survey and a LiDAR survey were completed on the property. The magnetic data shows multiple linear magnetic low breaks, one of which is correlated very well with the Goldswarm structural trend. The magnetic linear break on Goldswarm defines a strong five kilometre-long NW-SE magnetic break that is believed to be associated with the gold mineralization observed at Gold Swarm, approximately 3.5 kilometres south of Vimy Ridge. One hundred and seven (107) chip/grab samples and twenty-one (21) channel samples were collected during the 2018 field season (Assessment Report 37783).
