The Moly zone is underlain by interbedded volcanics and lesser sedimentary rock of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation, Hazelton Group. A stock of Jurassic monzonite to quartz monzonite intrudes the country rock within 0.5 kilometres to the southwest of the prospect.

Pervasive silica-pyrite-sericite-chlorite-feldspar alteration has obliterated primary texture and structures. Extensive shearing and faulting and related alteration has resulted in discrete foliation. Altered rocks within the zone are now essentially quartz- sericitic-schists. The rocks typically contain between 3 to 5 per cent pyrite and as much as 10 per cent locally.

Light grey quartz veins containing up to 5 per cent pyrite, generally intrude parallel to subparallel foliation and are less than 1.5 centimetres thick. Molybdenite mineralization occurs primarily within very thin quartz stringers, associated with the grey quartz veins, and as localized less significant remobilized fractions along shear planes. Finely disseminated molybdenite is also common within highly silicified granitic rocks. Minor chalcopyrite with malachite occurs locally within volcanic rocks.

Two holes were drilled in 1980 by Esso Minerals Canada Ltd., with overall results considered negative. Diamond-drill hole 13 contained a 3 metre section of 0.037 per cent molybdenite and diamond-drill hole 9 contained 3 metres of 0.92 grams per tonne gold. Most assays were significantly less. Silver is also anomalous (Assessment Report 8420).

In 1993. the Moly zone is mentioned and plotted by Newhawk Gold Mines Ltd but no information is offered (Assessment Report 23172).

In 2007, a drill hole on the Mitchell East (Moly) zone yielded 0.713 gram per tonne gold and 0.14 per cent copper over 258.77 metres, including 1.377 grams per tonne gold and 0.31 per cent copper over 31.14 metres (Blanchflower, J.D. (2008-04-21): Technical Report on the Snowfield Property). The Mitchell East zone has been identified as the northern extension of the Snowfield (MINFILE 104B 179) zone.

Another zone of mineralization, referred to as the Arbee zone, is located approximately 450 metres to the south west. The zone comprises a network of quartz stockwork veinlets of variable intensity cuts both intrusive and hornfels and host disseminated, fine-grained pyrite and pyrite veinlets with minor disseminated chalcopyrite. Occasional veinlets of magnetite are also reported.

Six samples from the Arbee zone averaged 0.220 per cent copper and 0.159 gram per tonne gold, while a sample of porphyry yielded 0.250 per cent copper and 0.095 gram per tonne gold (Lechner, M.J. (2007-04-06): Mitchell Creek Technical Report).

Refer to West (104B 193) and Snowfield (104B 179) for details of related mineralization and work history. The Moly zone appears be within the outline of the greater Snowfield zone as defined by owner Pretium Resources (Figure 10.1, Technical Report on Snowfield for Pretium Resources Inc, March 4, 2011)
