JD Project

Overview

The JD Project is located in the Toodoggone mining district in north-central British Columbia, a highly prospective deposit-rich mineral trend with a rich exploration and mining history dating back to the gold rush of the 1930’s. The earliest history of mining in the Toodoggone district of B.C. began with placer mining in 1930 on McClair Creek and the Toodoggone River which today make up part of the larger JD Property. The project covers an area of over 15,000 hectares and is in close proximity to active exploration and development projects, such as Thesis Gold’s Lawyers and Ranch projects, TDG Gold’s Baker-Shasta projects, Amarc Resource’s AuRORA project, Centerra’s Gold’s Kemess East and Underground projects, as well as the past-producing Kemess South open pit copper-gold mine which operated from 1998 to 2013.

The project is 450 kilometres northwest of the city of Prince George, and 25 kilometres north of the Sturdee airstrip. It is proximal to existing infrastructure in place to support the past-producing Kemess South mine, including roads, the Kemess airstrip and a 230kv hydroelectric power line that connects to the BC Hydro grid at Kennedy substation near the Town of Mackenzie.

The JD Project is in a favourable geological environment characterized by both high-grade epithermal gold and silver mineralization, as well as porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization. Some historical exploration, including drilling, geochemistry and geophysics, has been carried out on the property, however the project area is largely underexplored.

Location & Infrastructure

  • ~15,000 ha in BC’s Toodoggone district
  • 450 km NW of Prince George
  • 25 km north of Sturdee airstrip
  • Access by air (Sturdee/Kemess airstrips) or road (460 km from Mackenzie)
  • All-weather gravel road to JD Camp on the Toodoggone River
  • Near infrastructure from the past-producing Kemess South Mine, including 230 kV hydro line that connects the mine to the BC Hydro Kennedy Sub-station near Mackenzie
  • Surrounded by active projects:
    • Thesis Gold – Lawyers, Ranch
    • TDG Gold – Baker-Shasta
    • Amarc/Freeport – JOY, Brenda
    • Centerra Gold – Kemess East & Kemess North Underground

Geology & Mineralization

The Toodoggone district hosts a significant number of shallow, high- and low-sulfidation epithermal-type mineral deposits and occurrences (e.g., JD, Lawyers, Shasta, Baker) as well as porphyry-related mineralization (e.g. Kemess, Brenda, Pine) that may be contemporaneous and potentially cogenetic. These deposits are hosted by a thick (>2 km) succession of well-preserved, Early Jurassic sub-aerial andesitic and dacitic volcanic rocks of the Toodoggone Formation (Hazelton Group).

The JD Project is characterized by both high-grade epithermal gold and silver mineralization, as well as porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization. The epithermal-related systems, locally dispersed over a ~5 km east-west trend, are poorly explored and represent high-grade gold and silver mineralization potential.

JD Project – Creek Zone

  • High-grade, vein-hosted gold + base metal mineralization within broad zones of bulk-tonnage style gold mineralization
  • 2025 program has some strong early results:
    • 78.0 m of 3.7 g/t Au incl. 19.1 m of 7.5 g/t Au (CZ-25-007) from 30 m downhole
  • 2024 program confirmed presence of continuous disseminated mineralization from surface
    • 122.5 m of 2.1 g/t Au incl. 1.5 of 121.0 g/t Au (CZ-24-004)
    • 57.95 m of 2.7 g/t Au incl. 19.5 m of 7.3 g/t Au (CZ-24-005)
  • Anomalous surface geochemistry proves near-surface potential
  • IP geophysics confirmed chargeability and resistivity highs that require further testing
  • Limited drilling (PDF), mineralization open in most directions
