The Pi occurrence is located on a south to southwest-facing slope, east of Hot Creek and north of McDame Creek, approximately 101 kilometres north of the community of Dease Lake.
The occurrence area is underlain by calcareous sedimentary rocks of the Devonian McDame Group and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Upper Devonian to Lower Mississippian Earn Group The Pi occurrence is located on a south to southwest-facing slope, east of Hot Creek and north of McDame Creek, approximately 101 kilometres north of the community of Dease Lake.
The occurrence area is underlain by calcareous sedimentary rocks of the Devonian McDame Group and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Upper Devonian to Lower Mississippian Earn Group and Mississippian Slide Mountain Complex. To the west serpentine ultramafic rocks of the Permian Blue Dome fault zone (Slide Mountain Complex) are exposed.
Locally, molybdenum, tungsten and zinc skarn mineralization are reported in limestones which may belong to the Devonian McDame Group.
Work History
In 1969, Brettland Mines Ltd. completed a 165.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as part of the Krain Option property.
In 1984, Erickson Gold Mining Corp. completed a program of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Bear 1-3 claims of the Hot Lake property. Soil samples from the occurrence area yielded anomalous values of up to 9400 parts per million lead, 1600 parts per million zinc and 168.0 parts per million silver (Sample HL11; Assessment Report 12626).
In 1996, Cartaway Resources Corp. completed a 3678.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Hot Tip property.
In 2008, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. completed a 917.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as the Haskin-Reed property. The following year, a program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and trenching was completed on the property.
