Sunset (Black Eagle) Target Highlights

The Black Eagle and Sunset prospects are on the west side of Finkle (Seven-Mile) Creek, a south flowing tributary of Lardeau Creek, approximately 1.0 kilometre above its mouth. The Black Eagle (L.4735) and Sunset (L.4736) Crown grants are adjacent to each other and are immediately to the northwest of the Canadian (L.4737). They are part of a complex tenure cluster that straddles the structure that hosts the Nettie L. [082KNW100] and Silver Cup [082KNW027] occurrences. 
There was a small amount of development work completed on both claims in the late 1890s and J.W. Livingstone worked the area in 1917. Camfrey Resources Limited drilled two holes in 1987.
The Black Eagle and Sunset claims are underlain by rocks of the Lardeau Group. They are on the northeast limb of the Silver Cup anticline and are isoclinally folded, highly deformed and locally intensely phyllitic. They strike to the northwest and dip at a moderate to steep angle to the northeast. There is very little specific geological information on the claims; however, in 1896, approximately 18.3 metres of open cut and tunneling was done on the Black Eagle, exposing a 0.36 metre wide vein that produced assays of 3418 grams per tonne silver. Two years later, the Black Eagle and Sunset were collectively described as having a crosscut and drift of 24 metes with some "good ore" in 0.15 metre streaks in the wall. 
More recently, in 1993, the Black Eagle prospect was described as having two adits driven to test a narrow north-trending quartz vein. Camfrey Resources Limited diamond drilled two short holes in 1987. The core shows that the vein is between 0.2 and 0.5 metre wide and contains disseminated galena, sphalerite and pyrite.
