The Oweegee Property Geology and Mineralization
The Oweegee Property is situated on the eastern flank of a broad, regional northwest trending sub-volcancic-plutonic belt related to the Stuhini and Hazelton groups. Forming part of the Stikinia Terrane known as the ‘Stewart Complex’, the belt hosts much of the polymetallic mineralization in the Stewart Camp including past producing mines including Eskay Creek, Granduc, and Silbak-Premiere.
The Oweegee Property is underlain by the favourable Hazelton Group rocks and surrounded by Bowser Lake Group sediments. The geology at Oweegee includes the mapped fault contact of the Triassic Stuhini-Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks, which are proximal to many mineral deposits in the Stewart Camp. This contact, also known as the ‘Kyba red line’, has been identified by Nelson and Kyba (2014 (*1*)) as a favourable geological environment for the formation of major metal deposits in proximal Hazelton Group rocks

Ground work has been focused on mineralized zones on the Deltaic and Delta West Grids. The Deltaic Grid displays Au-Cu porphyry mineralization. Historic drill result highlights include drill hole DC07-03 returning 0.189 g Au/t and 0.074% Cu over a 138.67 m core length including a higher-grade Au section that contained 0.468 g Au/t and 0.11% Cu over 17.14 m and a higher Cu section that returned 0.140 g Au/t and 0.17% Cu over 17.08 m (Molloy 2008(*2*)). In addition, anomalous Au, Cu, Pb, and Zn values associated with a felsic dome at the South Meadow area of the Deltaic Grid suggest VMS feeder mineralization.

On the western side of the Oweegee Dome, the Delta West Grid is characterized by buried, stratabound base metal Zn-Cu-Ag VMS type mineralization.
Relatively little property wide geochemistry, mapping, or drilling has been conducted on the property. The recently built local infrastructure increases road access to much more of the property, which may decrease discovery costs.
Proposed Exploration Program
An initial Phase 1 exploration program is recommended to further evaluate the targets identified on the Oweegee Dome Property to date. Integration and interpretation of all historic geological, geochemical and geophysical datasets should precede field work. Geologic mapping and sampling, supported with ground magnetic and IP surveys, would further confirm and delineate the multiple recent and previously identified exploration and drill targets. The preceding work will allow prioritization of drill targets and enhance likelihood of drill success.
