Project Overview
Three Guardsman Property
Property Highlights
Rainy Hollow area, northwest British Columbia, near Haines Junction-Haines highway; approximately 58 miles north of Haines, Alaska.
Claims & Area: Four mineral claims covering approximately 3915.33 hectares, with potential for expansionClaims & Area: Four mineral claims covering approximately 3915.33 hectares, with potential for expansion.
Deposit Style: Skarn-type deposit with copper-silver-gold (Cu-Ag-Au) mineralization. Prospects for high-grade copper skarns and potential gold-skarn zones.
Infrastructure Proximity: Accessible via a 4-kilometer mining road connected to a paved highway; nearby infrastructure in Haines provides logistical support and shipping options.
Mineralization Highlights: Historic trench assays have shown up to 20.5% copper, 14.6% zinc, 23.6 ounces of silver, and 1 g/t gold.
Nearby Mines/Deposits: Historic mines such as the Maid of Erin and State of Montana are in proximity, producing copper and silver in the past.
Early Work and Discoveries: Seven historical crown grants likely saw extensive early work, though records are limited. Copper-bearing magnetite skarn was discovered in 1909 and later examined by K.P. Watson in 1945.
Exploration in 1969-1971 In 1969: Taneloy Mines conducted geological mapping and a magnetometer survey, followed by a 428.5-foot drill hole. Imperial Oil and Eagle River Mines drilled multiple holes in 1971, but economic conditions halted development.
1980s Expansion: In 1987, A.S. Fraser recommended further exploration, leading to new sampling and additional claims, including Red, Stone, and Camp, in 1988
