The Bond showing, west of Kinaskan Lake, was located on the Axe claims of Ascot Resources Ltd which were staked in 1988. As of 1991, the Axe property consisted of some 59 claims totalling 932 units. Further work was done by Ascot on numerous new showings on the Axe claims in 1991 but no work was apparently done on the Bond in 1991 and no further work has been filed for assessment to date (September, 1998).
Area rocks have recently been mapped on a regional scale as Upper Triassic Stuhini Group (Open File 1997-3). Property rocks consist of greywacke and siltstone with conglomerate, chert and cherty siltstone interbedded with andesitic flows, tuffs and agglomerates. The showings occur just south of the Early Jurassic granodiorite to quartz monzonite Groat stock.
Weak quartz veining up to 2 centimetres wide occurs over an area of 6 by 8 metres within an augite andesite flow. Traces of native copper, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite were noted in the veins. Initial grab samples of vein or sulphide-rich material within the area yielded a high of 0.67 per cent copper. Chip sampling over 2 by 2 metre panels yielded a high of 0.1 per cent copper and 0.24 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21128, page 8).
