The C and E South showing, composed of strongly sheared and altered Upper Triassic greenstones of the Nikolai belt (in part), is found in the vicinity of the Denali Fault Zone south of Stanley Creek. About 1.3 kilometres southeast of Stanley Creek disseminated sphalerite is reported to occur associated with oxides and carbonates of strontium, antimony, and lead.

Work History

In 2000, Santoy Resource collected 289 soil, 37 rock and 4 silt samples. In the vicinity of the C & E South Showing where a fetid limestone was apparently the source for anomalous antimony, strontium and lead associated with zinc, soil and rock samples were taken. The soil samples yielded only modestly elevated and sporadic zinc, lead, antimony and strontium value; rock samples yielded only anomalous strontium values (236 to 275 parts per million) (Assessment Report 26556). A rock sample taken in the vicinity of the Stanley Creek Showing (114P 031) (not found) also failed to yield significant results. An excavator trench had been cut at the top of the creek bank along strike but failed to reach bedrock. Neither the unsuccessful trench nor the showings were located during limited exploration in 2000. Soil and rock samples on the whole were reported to have given disappointing results, especially when compared to the previous sampling in 1987.

In 2006, Gerald Diakow prospected his Nickelodium claim which covered the Mansfield (Stanley Creek) and C & E South showing areas. Traverses were made across the property with the intent of locating showings and any old workings. Rock and silt samples were collected. The historical showings were not found, probably because of recent erosion along Stanley Creek. Some of the areas where altered ultramafics were previously mapped were remapped as metamorphic sediments.
