The Ahbau Creek area has two well developed targets each with a substantial work history for which there is much excellent unpublished data. The property has two known mineral occurrences about 1 km apart, the Ahbau Gold Zone and Ahbau PGE Occurrence (Figure 8). The writer spent no time on the Ahbau Creek showings and the following is based on Newell and Podolsky (1971), Freeze et al (1985), Kowalchuk and Mathison (1987) and Newton (1988).
Data for the diagrams presented here are taken directly from these and other authorities. The data have been replotted and georegistered; the data were scrutinized by the writer and they are considered accurate. Registration accuracy varies depending on the amount of information given in the sources. Assay results and drill intersections reported here are taken as presented in these sources.
 Satellite image of Ahbau Creek area. This satellite image of the area of interest at Ahbau Creek shows the two targets; the railway bridge across Ahbau Creek and the highway southwest of the creek are visible southwest of the targets. The yellow circle, labeled "Discovery Zone", represents the gold target. The other yellow circle, about 1 km south in the valley of Ahbau Creek gives the location of the PGE target. |
