The Lucky North occurrence is located in a northeast-facing valley and approximately 1.5 kilometres east-southeast of Mount McDame.
The area is underlain by the Upper Paleozoic Sylvester Allochthon, located on the northeastern margin of the Lower Cretaceous Cassiar Batholith. The Sylvester Allochthon is a fault bound imbricate assemblage of Mississippian to Upper Triassic Slide Mountain Complex regionally metamorphosed (greenschist) oceanic rocks thrust over the sediments of autochthonous North America. The assemblage contains basaltic to andesitic flows, pyroclastics, argillites, limestones, greywacke, chert, listwanite and quartz veins.
Locally, mafic volcanics with iron carbonate-alteration host quartz veinlets, 1 to 5 centimetre in width, with minor pyrite and associated gold values.
In 2019, a chip sample (667582) assayed 4.93 grams per tonne gold over 1.35 metres, whereas two nearby rock samples 19166 and 667334) yielded 13.0 and 1.15 grams per tonne gold, respectively (Assessment Report 38989).
Work History
The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Elan (MINFILE 104P 075) and Boomerang (MINFILE 104P 112) occurrences and a complete exploration history can be found there.
In 2018, Cassiar Gold Corp. completed a program of rock and soil sampling on the area. In 2019, Margaux Resources completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling on the Cassiar Gold property. In 2020, Cassiar Gold Corp. completed a program of regional photogeological interpretation, prospecting and rock sampling on the Cassiar Gold property.
