and bedrock have all been sampled as gold bearing and there are areas of significance with regards to heavy mineral concentrations indicative of platinum group elements in black sands
The terrain and geological features in the area present evidence of substantial faulting and volcanic activity presenting an interesting target for placer gold accumulation
The claim has a mix of bedrock canyon on Jim Kelly Creek emerging onto low benches at the confluence of the river and creek and onward downstream
Extensive gravel and large cobble exposes during the river's low water periods offering excellent exploration potential through high-banking and panning
