Property Summary
The property comprises 17 Crown granted mineral claims located some 11 km south of Hazelton in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada (Jan/07)
GOLD, TUNGSTEN past producer mine.
Geology
The property hosts a past-producing gold tungsten mine (1950s) previously worked by Cominco, near Hazelton. Between 1942 and 1954, 103,424 tonnes produced 1,002,839 kilograms of tungsten.
A 75-centimetre sample taken in 1914 assayed 28.8 grams per tonne gold, 110 grams per tonne silver and 3.9 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1914).
A radioactive sample from the mine assayed 0.35 per cent equivalent uranium (Geological Survey of Canada Economic Geology 16).
Mineralization is genetically related to the Rocher Deboule stock, one of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions. As noted in BC government publications, the Red Rose vein is 1.2 to 2.8 metres wide, 60 to 120 metres along strike, and at least 335 metres down dip. The vein has been developed and mined above the 1100 level and little is known below it.
News Updates
On Jul31/06, it was announced that a study of previous work is planned to further evaluate untested mineral potential of the Red Rose claims.
Core drilling completed on the property in 1987.
