The area of the Six Mile 2 showing is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini Group rocks comprised of volcanic siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate and breccia. Locally, the Flory Creek Fault trends northwestwards cutting the altered Stuhini Group rocks. On the west side of the fault the rocks are comprised mainly of bedded shales, argillite, tuffs and biotite-rich schists. On the west side, disseminated magnetite and epidote occur in massive greenstone. Minor chalcopyrite and up to 5 per cent disseminated pyrite occur within an adjacent to the fault zone.

The vicinity of the showing was investigated and sampled in 1989-1990 but no mineralization was located.

Work History

Newmont Exploration of Canada Ltd conducted an extensive reginal prospecting program in the 1960s. Maps resulting from this work are located in the Property File of the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines

In 1989, A total of 16 rock, 2 stream silt, and 3 heavy mineral samples were collected by Canadian Cariboo Resources Ltd on the Cook 1-4 claims (Assessment Report 19660). A limited amount of reconnaissance prospecting was conducted along the western side of this fault zone. No mineralization was located; however, iron staining was noted on cliffs along the east side of the lake.

The 1990 exploration program on the Cook 1-4 claims by Canadian Cariboo Resources Ltd consisted of helicopter supported contour soil sampling, stream silt geochemistry, lithogeochemical sampling and geological mapping with the objective of evaluating the property's economic potential (Assessment Report 20902). A total of 20 soil samples, 19 stream silt samples and four rock samples were collected from the property. These samples were obtained near the Flory Creek fault in the central part of the Cook 1 claim and from two gossanous subparallel incised gullies near the western claim boundaries of Cook 3 and 4 claims.

In 2006 and 2007, Hathor Exploration Ltd. completed a 7228.7 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Pearly claims of the Iskut project. In 2008, Max Minerals Ltd. examined the property.
