LIGHTNING STRIKE

Gold
Silver
  • Target - Shale hosted orogenic gold deposits, also called sediment hosted vein deposits
  • Access - Road Access 60 km northeast of the Community of 100 Mile House
  • Infrastructure - Excellent infrastructure nearby (powerlines, rail, roads)
  • Property - 3,665 hectares (36.65 sq. kilometers)

Gold mineralization in the area of staking was first reported by Homestake Development Corporation in 1984 with the discovery of a significant soil gold anomaly underlain by Triassic aged shale and siltstone from which quartz carbonate boulders grading up to 25.10 g/t gold and 216.8 g/t silver were sampled.

In 2006 Skygold Ventures Ltd. (later Spanish Mountain Gold Corp.) staked this area and completed mechanical trenching and drilling in 2008 and 2010. Seven drill holes completed in this period are located on the Lightning Strike claims staked by Cariboo Rose. Significant intercepts include 4.54 g/t gold over 3.8 meters, 1.03 g/t gold over 26.0 meters, and 19.30 g/t gold over 1.5 meters. In 2019 and 2020 Cariboo Rose extended soil geochemical grids to the south and east of the historic drilling with approximately 2000 samples collected which have confirmed the anomalous gold feature extending 1,500 meters to the south and 1,250 to the east of the previous target area and a larger soil silver anomaly coincident with the gold anomaly excepting that it extends further on the northwest side.

Shale hosted gold deposits, also called sediment hosted vein deposits, are one of the most attractive models for large gold deposits in the world and include the giant Murantau and Sukoy Log deposits in Russia. Similar styles of gold mineralization locally include the FG Gold Project located 35 kilometers to the north (Kore Mining Ltd.) and the Spanish Mountain Gold Project located 95 kilometers to the northwest (Spanish Mountain Gold Corp).  Both the FG Gold Project and the Spanish Mountain Gold Project are currently being actively explored. In 2020 Eric Sprott (through a privately owned corporation) completed investments in both Kore Mining Ltd and Spanish Mountain Gold Corp.

 

RECENT WORK 

  • Established Grids
  • Completed soil sampling (approx. 2000 samples)
  • Strong Au anomaly extending 1.5 km North/South  and 1km East/West
  • Larger Ag anomaly coincident with Au anomaly and extending further to the NW
  • Completed rock sampling, geological mapping and prospecting
  • Several targets evident
  • issued a multiyear exploration permit for the Lightning Strike project allowing the construction of access trails, mechanical test pitting and diamond drilling.
  • Completed 11 hole 1463-metre drill program in 2021
