The CW area is underlain by rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group.

Malachite staining on fractures in volcanics occurs over an area about 7.6 by 7.6 metres. One grab sample of this malachite stained fracture contained 1.19 per cent copper and 1.37 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 621).

Work History

The CW group of 167 claims, extending west from a position roughly 3 kilometres up Galore Creek from Scud River, was staked early in 1964 by Conwest Exploration Company Limited. During 1965 induced potential and magnetometer surveys were carried out in an area on the east side of Galore Creek. By 1966 the property had been reduced to 69 claims; induced potential and geochemical soil and silt surveys were carried out during the year.

Amoco Canada Petroleum Company Ltd optioned the CW group, reduced to 16 claims, in 1970. Work during the year included geological mapping, and 916 metres of diamond drilling in 5 holes on CW 141 and 143 (See CW Esst (104G 088)).
