Project Overview
The CR property lies in the Wells–Barkerville area of the Cariboo Region of BC and is held, together with the neighbouring Hedge Hog property, as part of a group of three road-accessible claims staked by Eastfield in 2013 and 2014. Historical exploration in the area focused on the search for Besshi-type volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, and the surrounding district has a long history of placer and lode gold production. The property is 100% owned by Eastfield Resources; no option or joint-venture agreement is in place.
Geology & Target Model
The property lies within the Mississippian to Permian Slide Mountain Terrane, structurally underlain by the gold-endowed Upper Proterozoic–Paleozoic Barkerville Group meta-sediments that host the Wells–Barkerville district's substantial placer and lode gold production. Held together with the neighbouring Hedge Hog claims, the ground shows quartz–iron-carbonate alteration and an association with base-metal sulphides typical of the area, with occurrences of well-mineralized massive sulphide float indicating potential for Besshi-type volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization.
