Exploration

Our focus is on gold and copper assets in the Golden Triangle within the Tahltan Territory in NW British Columbia. SRR owns 15,442.96 hectares of claims within well-known ore bodies and historically sound properties, including 5,500 hectares directly within the Golden Triangle, on strike of large existing and historic mines.

We are focusing on three areas for our initial exploration program:

Dome Mountain

Dease Creek

Dome Mountain – Finding the Elusive Source of Gold

Property Summary – Dome Mountain (Au)

Property: 6 multi-cell claims totaling 2828 hectares

Location: 15 km east of Dease Lake, 72km northeast of the QuestEx Gold & Copper’s Cu-Au North Rok Project, 80km north of Red Chris Mine Development, and 69km west-northwest of Kutcho Copper’s high-grade Cu-Zn Kutcho Project in northwestern British Columbia

Owned: Spirit Rock Resources holds a 100% interest in the claims on the property

Good to Date: All claims are in good standing until 2024

Target: Mesothermal vein-hosted gold and VMS related gold

Rock Types: Jurassic aged Inklin Formation argillites and sandstones with minor limestone of the Sinwa Formation

Historic Production and Assay Results: 84, 467 grams of placer gold recovered from Goldpan Creek between 1924-1940; 882 ppb Au in silt sample and 236-4250 ppb Au from pan concentrate samples during fieldwork programs. Three heavy mineral concentrate samples were collected in 2019, which contained grades of 20-27 g/t gold.

Spirit Rock Resources Dome Mountain gold property partially encompasses the past placer gold producing Goldpan Creek, which was discovered in 1924, producing a total of 84,467 grams of gold until 1940. The area has continued to be worked intermittently since then until 2019.

Mineralization on and adjacent to the property has exclusively been discovered as placer gold along the Goldpan, Little Goldpan, and Dome Creek. Historical placer gold assay values of up to 882 ppb Au in stream silt samples and 236-4250 ppb Au in pan concentrate samples have been retrieved from these tributaries and are noted to be associated with quartz vein material. Three heavy mineral concentrate samples were collected in 2019, which contained grades of 20-27 g/t gold and were analyzed for gold grain transport characteristics, which suggests the source of gold in the Dome and Goldpan Creeks are distinct from one another and locally derived, rather than from a diffuse till source. Furthermore, historical interpretations made in 1991 suggest gold sources are likely located on Dome and Goldpan Creek. Both of these prospective elevations are mainly situated within the Spirit Rock Resources Dome Mountain claim block, and therefore present a valuable opportunity to locate the elusive source of gold in bedrock that has supplied the Goldpan Creek catchment with impressive quantities of placer gold.

This property is located 18km from the town of Dease Lake and has readily available road access.

Samotua – Trending along successful historic sites

Property Summary – Samotua (Au-Cu)

Property: 3 multi-cell claim totaling 2605 hectares

Location: 64 km northwest of Telegraph Creek, and just NE of historic Golden Bear Mine

Owned: Spirit Rock Resources holds a 100% interest in the claims on the property

Good to Date: All claims are in good standing until 2024

Target: Carlin Type Gold

Rock Types: Deformed Permian, limestone and Carboniferous metavolcanic rocks which are intruded by feldspar porphyry dikes.

Historic Assay Results:

  • Features mineralization similar to nearby Golden Bear Mine (major past producer). Several rock samples from a silicified limestone unit in contact with an altered tuff unit have assayed over 1 g/t gold. The silicified limestone outcrops over at least 1.5 kilometers in an approximately 200 m wide zone trending in a NE direction.

Dease Creek – Significant Gold Showings

Property Summary – Dease Creek (Au)

Property: 4 multi-cell claims totaling 2141 hectares

Location: 22 km Northwest of the town of Dease Lake

Owned: Spirit Rock Resources holds a 100% interest in the claims on the property

Good to Date: All claims are in good standing until 2024

Target: Orogenic gold

Rock Types: Permian to Triassic metasediments and volcanics of the Cache Creek Complex. Ultramafics bodies occur throughout the area.

Historic Assay Results:

  • Recorded production from Dease Creek up to 1945 was 126 000 oz Au. Active placer operation at mouth of Dease Creek in summer 2022. A highly anomalous stream sediment sample collected was over the 99.8th percentile for gold regionally. The upper catchment is underlain by a mag high that may indicate ultramafic rocks. Occurrence of placer gold in an area of metasediments and ultramafics, along with a favourable structural regime suggests an orogenic gold target.
