Eagle Plains | North Findlay - Silver, Lead, Zinc Exploration Property

North Findlay | (Silver, Lead, Zinc)

The North Findlay Property is one of three groups of claims staked by Eagle Plains that comprise the North Sullivan camp. These groups are referred to as Greenland Creek, South Findlay and North Findlay. The North Sullivan camp totals 33,499.92 hectares, and borders the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy to the west, encompasses the headwaters of Findlay Creek to the north and Greenland Creek in the south. This extensive land holding is a contiguous land package and shows potential for hosting sedex-type base-metal mineralization. Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. staked the North Sullivan camp in the spring of 1995 in anticipation of an airborne geophysical survey conducted in the fall of that year by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), and the British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS).

The North Sullivan Camp claims are centered 40 km northwest of Kimberley and contain a stratigraphic interval demonstrated to host significant base-metal mineralization. They are the nearest northern exposure of prospective Lower/Middle Aldridge Formation SEDEX stratigraphy which hosts the world class Sullivan deposit 40km to the south. Structurally, this area may be an extension of the North Star-Sullivan corridor, a north oriented fault bound graben developed through rift extension which initiated in the mesoproterozoic and continued through to the Cambrian Period (Price, 1981).

Contemporaneous with extension was the exhalation and interaction of seafloor boron, aluminous sediments, and metal rich brines along synsedimentary faults which precipitated to form the Sullivan ore body. The Findlay property stratigraphy displays Sullivan-style exhalative tourmalinite (boron) horizons, massive fragmental sections, upper anomalous lead, zinc, and indicator geochemistry, and base metal occurrences.
