➢ 8 of 11 holes intersected long Cu intersections
➢ Main Zone traced for 500m
➢ 121 m channel sample returned 0.28% Cu
Large Porphyry System
➢ Cu, Mo, Au, Ag mineralization in rocks, soils and talus over at least 5 km by 2 km
➢ Host is Bulkley intrusive suite, same as for Huckleberry Mine (Imperial Metals) and Seel and Ox deposits (Surge Copper).
Excellent Exploration Potential
➢ Magnetic anomaly outlines large intrusion mapped by BC Geological Survey
➢ A dozen, untested large, coincident IP chargeability & resistivity anomalies
➢ Outside the Main Zone, exploration largely limited to prospecting
➢ Retreating glaciers exposing new areas near mineralization since 2012 work
➢ Airborne ZTEM survey completed over area
Access
➢ Helicopter only access – Smithers, Terrace< Huston
➢ Considerable activity in region using helicopters
➢ Ferry across Ootsa Lake provides access to logging roads
➢ Staging areas for helicopter are 21 km from Main Zone (Huckleberry mine site or logging roads)
