The White Moose-South showing is located on the west shore of Taku Arm, about 2.25 kilometres south of the mouth of Buchan Creek.

Quartz veining occurs in Devonian to Middle Triassic pelitic schists of the Boundary Ranges Metamorphic Suite near the contact with Early Jurassic granodiorite of the Aishihik Plutonic Suite. Foliations in the schist strikes east-southeast and dips moderately south. In general, these Boundary Range metamorphic rocks are described as greenstone and greenschist metamorphic rock.

The White Moose South vein is 1.8 to 3 metres wide and dips 50 to 70 degrees southwest. The vein contains disseminated galena and chalcopyrite. A collapsed adit and dump occur at the location of the showing.

The dump contains quartz vein material with disseminated pyrite and host rock fragments with pyrite blebs up to 6 millimetres across. A sample of the latter assayed trace gold, 53.14 grams per tonne silver, 0.13 per cent lead, and 0.01 per cent copper (Assessment Report 8384).

Work History

This property is located on the west shore of Tagish Lake, with the claims extending south from Buchan Creek. The showings were staked in about 1899 by Young, Johnson, and Grant, officials of the White Pass Railroad. Development work was carried on until 1902, when the property was acquired by a local Atlin syndicate; this group carried on development work until about 1904. In about 1913 the property, consisting of 8 claims (the Pansy, Rose, Buttercup, Calder, Primrose, Daisy, Merry, and Daffodil), was acquired by Messrs. Partridge and Egerton. Development work on the North vein consists of a shallow shaft and a drift adit. On the South vein two drift adits have been run in a short distance.

In 2011, White Moose-South was not visited by Blue Gold Mining Inc., though all three of the other White Moose showings were (see 104M 009, 012 and 072). It was reported, however, that four of the White Moose showings (including White Moose-South) coincide spatially with significant magnetic breaks as revealed in the 2011 airborne geophysical survey that covered the entire Titan property.

Refer to Titan (104M 089) for further details of the Titan property, of which the White Moose showings are part of.
