A structurally controlled, polymetallic gold-silver deposit hosted in Mid-Cretaceous granodiorites, quartz monzonites and granites of the Coast Plutonic Belt, Skukum Creek has six mineralized zones. These occur in faults and shears associated with the northeast-trending Berney Creek fault. The two principal zones are Rainbow and Kuhn.
The 2,500-metre program of underground drilling is designed to extend the Rainbow zone laterally as well as to depth. The zone was previously outlined by surface and underground diamond drilling. It extends 265 metres along strike and 360 metres vertically. The deepest intercepts encountered in previous drill intercepts assayed as high as 49.2 grams gold and 528.7 grams silver per tonne over 10.7 metres.
