Kerr states that somewhere on Missusjay Mountain veins carrying quartz, calcite and chalcopyrite were observed. Stringers of quartz carrying gold were also said to occur on the mountain's eastern slope. Permian and older metasediments and Permian limestone underlie the north and northeast flanks of the mountain. The west, south and southeast flanks are underlain by pink biotite-hornblende quartz monzonite of Tertiary-Cretaceous Age (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 246).

Work in 1989 and 1990 occurred in the plotted area of the Missusjay Mountain showing though the loation of showing was not relocated and may be several kilometres away.

Work History

In 1948, Kerr first described mineralization on Missusjay Mountain.

In 1989, a brief exploration program was carried out on the Canyon 28 and Canyon 29 claims by Homestake Mineral Development Company. This work consisted of geological mapping and sampling of selected areas. In June of 1990, Equity Silver Mines Limited carried out further geological mapping, rock sampling, and bulk silt sampling. A reconnaissance geological/geochemical program was carried out on the Canyon 28 and 29 claims in September 1990 by Apex Energy Corp.
