Project Overview
The 2,667-hectare CR property lies approximately 20 kilometres north of Wells and Barkerville in the Cariboo Region of British Columbia. Historical exploration in the area focused on Besshi-type volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Completed work recorded in Eastfield's March 24, 2026 formal disclosure includes rock and soil sampling, 4.8 kilometres of induced polarization and one 206-metre diamond drill hole. The property is 100% owned by Eastfield Resources; no option or joint-venture agreement is in place. No current exploration or drilling program is stated here.
Geology & Target Model
The property lies within the Mississippian to Permian Slide Mountain Terrane, structurally underlain by Upper Proterozoic–Paleozoic Barkerville Group meta-sediments. Historical exploration in the area focused on Besshi-type volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Quartz–iron-carbonate alteration, associated base-metal sulphides and occurrences of massive sulphide float have been reported. Historical district records cited for regional context report approximately 4 million ounces of placer and approximately 1.2 million ounces of lode gold production in the Wells–Barkerville district; those regional figures do not establish mineralization or economic potential on the CR claims.
