The Lucky Lake Base Metal Skarn Showing. Core and drill camp are on the shore of Lucky Lake with the skarn exposed in the cliff next to the waterfall. The Camp was located in a Cirque high above the Flat River Valley along the border of the NWT with the Yukon. The border runs just behind the mountains that form the background to this photo. Most of the peaks are cored by portions of the Coal River Granodiorte Batholith.
