Access Description: Trun north on HWY11 4.5 km west of the junction with HWY 586. Procceed 5.25 km north along the forestry access road to a hyro transmission line. Turn wesst and proceed 75 m along the hydro line to th prospect.
1947: Frank West made the original gold discovery around Pistol Lake. Self Poyential surveys and 30 AX drll holes were completed totalling 914 m. 1980-1983: Greenwich Lake Exploration Limited acquired the Frank West patents and staked additional ground in the area. A cut grid was established and magnetic, VLFEM, and induced polarization surveys were conducted. Limited trenching and stripping was performed. A diamond drilling program consisting of 11 holes, concentrated on an area immediately east of the Frank West showing. 1985: Lincoln Resources Inc outcroped mapped the area. 1993: D'Silva and Parker prospected and sampled historical drill core. 2011: Golden Share contracted Insight Geophysics to complete 27.8 kn of gradient IP survey. 1991: D. & E. Christianson complete OP91-694 trenching and sampling. 1992: D'Silva and Parker Geological mapping, geochemical,prospec and DDH survey for OP92-273 & 274.

Sep 29, 2016 (Andrew Tims) - While it was previously assumed that the JF West mineralization was confined to the Pistol Lake stock, it now appears that an east-west trending shear zone sub-parallel to the southern boundary of this intrusive controls the mineralization.

Sep 29, 2016 (Andrew Tims) - The highest gold values (up to 4.08 g/t Au over two metres for channel sampling and 9.90 g/t Au for grab sample) primarily occur within stockworks of quartz-carbonate veins that are preferentially-developed within metre-scale hematized felsic dykes. Such felsic dykes. are hosted within mineralized and intensely foliated hematized volcanic rocks. The quartz carbonate veins in the felsic dykes contain 7-10% pyrite and trace chalcopyrite. Pyrite is euhedral, cubic and individual crystals can reach 3 cm. A significant concentration of sulfides is observed in the walls of the veins and veinlets with a maximum of 20% pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite. Three types of mineralization are observed in the volcanics: 1 - A finely disseminated mineralization 3% pyrite and trace chalcopyrite, 2 - Pyrite veinlets with specular hematite crosscutting the schistosity following brittle fracturing plans. 3 - 2% pyrite mineralization and chalcopyrite trace associated with quartz-carbonate veinlets and veins along the schistosity (sometimes boudinage visible).
