Eskay Rift ModeL
Eskay Creek
BOWSER
  • The Orion property is situated within the Late
    Jurassic Eskay Creek Rift characterized by
    occurrences of basaltic lava and pillow lava
    flows typical of rift settings. This narrow belt
    contains scores of mineral deposits including
    the most famous producing mines of the Stewart
    region
  • Eskay Creek
  • Granduc
  • Premier
  • Hidden Creek (Anyox)
  • As well as basalt flows, the Orion Property
    features very well developed flow banded
    rhyolites, similar to the rhyolites associated
    with the very rich Eskay Creek deposit.

Geology Stratigraphy
The Orion property is located ca. 40 km NNE of
Stewart, BC. It is under-lain by volcanic and
sedimentary rocks of the Mesozoic Stuhini and
Hazelton Groups. The layered rocks are intruded
by several granitoid to dioritic stocks of
Mesozoic and Cenozoic age. The area hosts
numerous broad zones of sericite-clay alteration
and silicification. Several elements of the
classic Eskay Creek stratigraphy are present on
the property.

Land of Great Potential
The Orion property has had only minor exploration
to date. The long, north-south elongate nunatak
in the NE portion of the property displays
repetitions of stratigraphic horizons the felsic
units of the Mt. Dilworth Formation (usually
characterized by strong gossans rich in pyrite
and other sulfides and which locally host Au-As
mineralization) are overlain by fine carbon-rich
sediments of the Salmon River Formation (Foto)
and underlain by andesitic volcanogenic
rocks. The property includes several other
claims underlain partly by Eskay-type
lithologies basalts, flow banded rhyolites,
breccias and associated fine-grained sediments.

ORION PROJECT
Exploration History
  • Sulphurets 1880s - Early prospecting for gold
    and placer claims in Sulphurets area 1930 -
    Bruce and Jack Thompson prospecting along
    Mitchell Creek 1959 - Gold and silver discovered
    near Brucejack Lake - staking activity on the
    Sulphurets area 1985 - Brinco commenced work on
    Cu-Au hosted Kerr claims 2006 Multi-million
    ounce gold deposits in porphyry systems proven by
    Seabridge Gold and Silver Standard drilling.
  • Granduc 1931 - W. Dawson and W. Fromholz
    discovered mineralization on Granduc Mountain
    1952 - Granduc Mines Ltd. started underground
    exploration at Granduc 1968 - Granduc Mine first
    production 2005-06 Bell Resources considerably
    expanded extent of Granduc deposit
  • 1987 Hat (Orion) claims staked rock sampling
    and mapping program showing 13 discovered
    0.915 opt Au over 1.6 metre neighbouring vein
    assayed 0.825 opt Au in grab sample (Tribe,
    N.L., 1987 AR 16479)
  • 1989-91 Restricted sampling/mapping programs on
    Hat claims strong conductor discovered by
    airborne geophysical survey
  • 1994-95 High grade Au-As mineralization
    discovered on Orion claims 0.925 opt Au in
    fractured rhyolite, up to 1.677 opt Au and 19.4
    As in arsenopyrite stringers
  • 2006 Reconaissance survey (limited) horizons
    of flow-banded rhyolite and felsic volcanic
    breccias accompanied by strong silicification,
    chlorite-sericite alteration and local
    pyritization were observed. Several anomalous
    samples taken.
