The SNO1 showing is underlain by Devonian rocks of Stikine Assemblage including mafic to felsic volcanics and limestone, intruded by the dioritic Late Devonian Forrest Kerr pluton.
Quartz veins and lenses were noted within andesite volcanics and less frequently within adjacent intrusive rocks. Several veins occur within the andesite over an area approximately 100 metres square at the intrusive contact, with individual veins ranging from 1 to 30 centimetres wide and spaced from less than 1 metre to several metres apart. Some veins contain up to 10 per cent coarse pyrite and/or rare chalcopyrite. Open spaced vuggy textures are common within the veins. Samples from two narrow quartz veins within the intrusive rock yielded 280 parts per billion gold (Assessment Report 21933).
In 1990, a total of 166 reconnaissance rock chip samples, 82 chip-channel samples and 144 contour chip samples were collected on the GLA 1-5, Ron 3-8 and Nor 1-2 claims of Kestrel Resources Ltd.
Work History
In 1991, the Ron 3-8, Nor 1-2 and Sno 1 and 2 claims were under option to Blue Gold Resources Ltd from Kestrel Resources. Blue Gold spent 3 days on the group, mapping and prospecting. Seventeen rock samples in total were collected from the Ron 3-6 claims. Seven rock samples were collected on the Nor 1-2 claims. Six rock samples were collected from the Sno claims. In 2019, Sassy Resources Corp. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as part of the Foremore property.
