1.0 SUMMARY
The Hedley project is located 3 to 12 kilometres southwest of Hedley EC. in the Hedley Gold Camp (production 2.5 million ounces) of southern British Columbia. The property consists of twenty-one four-post and sixty-nine two-post mineral claims covering 369 units (9225 hectares) in the Similkameen and Osoyoos
with the exception of the D 1 lo 10 claims that are owned by Ward Lee Mollison of Keremeos BC. Mining Divisions. Grant F. Crooker of Keremeos BC is the operator of the project and owns all of the claims
Access to the project area is provided by the Sterling Creek forest access road that turns west off Highway 3 eight kilometres west of Hedley. The Sterling Creek road accesses the northern and western portions of the project area, the Pole Cutter branch road the central and southern portions, and the Johns Creek branch road the eastern portions. These are all weather, two wheel drive roads.
The Hedley Gold Camp has a long tradition of mining, with placer mining first carried out on Twenty Mile Creek in the 1860's and 1870's. The interest in placer mining led to the discovery of gold on Nickel Plate

of gold). Almost all of this production occurred in the period from 1905 to 1955.
In the 1970s exploration renewed in the Hedley Gold Camp with most of the activity on properties on Nickel Plate Mountain. However exploration was also carried out in other areas of the district. The most important property in the camp is the Nickel Plate mine (Homestake Mining) with skarn hosted gold mineralization. Ore reserves in 1987 were in the order of 9,900,000 tons grading 0.088 ounces gold per ton. The Nickel Plate mine resumed production in August 1987 with a milling rate of 2,700 tons per day using open pit mining and conventional cyanide recovery methods. The mine ceased production in July of 1996 with a reported production of 11,000,000 tonnes of ore yielding approximately 25,630,000 grams gold (824.000 ounces).
A number of gold properties are also located on the south side of the Similkameen River. Historically, the properties on the south side of the Similkameen River were related to quartz-carbonate vein systems and associated shear zones as opposed to skarn-related mineralization at the Nickel Plate mine. Recent geological data by Ray (1986/87) have indicated that similar gold skarn environments exist on the south side.

The 1999 work program consisted of stream sediment sampling the main drainages on the eastern portion of the project area, geological mapping and magnetic surveying on the WP-SA claim, and prospecting and rock sampling over a number of areas including the WP-5A (East Pettigrew zone), John (Blitz showing), Van (Mission and Van showings) and Paul claims. The work program gave positive results and additional work is warranted in these areas.
The 2oM) work program consisted of prospecting and rock sampling on the Paul-5 claim (Lamb 1 showing),

work program:
1.01 Four rock samples were collected from the Paul4 claim during the 2000 work program. Sample 2- 001 was collected from what is believed to be the Lamb 1 showing and consisted of strongly fractured, grey andesite of the Skwel Peken Formation with up to 20% pyrite. The sample did not give any anomalous values. One sample (2-002) was collected from a 40 to 100 centimetre wide fracture zone, striking 160" and vertical, in grey andesite. Minor amounts of epidote, pyrite and calcite were observed along the fractures. The sample gave a weakly anomalous gold value of 15 ppb. Two other rock samples (2-003 and 004) of grey andesite with 10 to 15% pyrite were collected but neither gave any anomalous values.
1.02 The magnetic survey delineated three zones of higher magnetism (MH-A, MH-B and MH-C). All three magnetic highs are relatively small and thought to be related to dykes andlor sills of Hedley intrusions. Magnetic High MH-A appears to be the most significant as it is spatially related to the Snowstorm showing.
1.03 The electromagnetic survey delineated three strong and possibly significant conductor systems ("A", "6" and "C"). Conductor system '"A" appears to be the most significant as it may be the northern extension of the auriferous shear zone exposed at the Hed showing on the Gold Mine claim of Prim0 Resources. It is very strong, 300 metres long, and is open to the north. Conductor system "8" is a moderate to strong conductor, 850 metres long and open to the south. It has a similar trend to and is along strike with conductor system '"A" associated with the auriferous shear zone at the Hed showing, and may represent the southern extension of the shear zone. Conductor system "C" is a strong conductor 550 metres long and open to the south. It has a similar trend to conductor systems '"A and " B and may represent a parallel shear zone.
The following recommendations are made:
1.01 Complete the grid over the Wand GH claims with 100 metre line spacing and 25 metre station spacing.
102 Complete the magnetic and electromagnetic surveys over the grid.
1.03 Soil geochemical sampling should be conducted over the grid at 25 metre station spacing, decreasing to 10 metres over geophysical anomalies.
'1.04 Geological mapping and prospectinl&ggJ! also be carried out over the grid.

(Homestake Mining). The gold mineralization is skarn hosted and ore reserves in 1987 were in the order of 9,900,000 tons grading 0.088 ounces gold per ton. The property commenced production in August 1987 with a milling rate of 2,700 tons per day using open pit mining and conventional cyanide gold recovery methods. The mine ceased production in July of 1998 with a reported production of 11,000,000 tonnes of ore yielding approximately 25,630,000 grams gold (824,000 ounces).
A number of gold properties are also located on the south side of the Similkameen River. Historically, most of these properties have been found to be related to quartz-carbonate vein systems and associated shear zones as opposed to skarn-related mineralization at the Nickel Plate Mine. Recent geological data by Ray (1 986187) has indicated that similar skarn related gold environments exist on the south side. The Hedley project (Figures 3.0,4.0) consists of 369 units (9225 hectares) within the Hedley basin (Nicola Group rocks) on the south side of the Similkameen River that were staked during the period 1986 through 2000.
The initial work programs were carried out on the WP claims during the period 1987 through 1996. During ihe period 1998 through 2000, most of the area on the south side of the Similkameen River came open for staking, including a number of old showings (Gold Hill, Mission, Blitz, Lamb, Lost Horse, Lost Horse 86. Don, Speculator). These areas were subsequently staked (W, John, Van, V, Paul, GH, D and LH claim groups) and the 1999 and ZOO0 work programs concentrated on these areas. The mineral occurrences are listed in Table 2.0 (occurrences in bold controlled by Crooker/Mollison) and summary descriptions of the showings follow.

The work programs on the WP claims consisted of establishing grid lines and carrying out geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys. A silt sampling program on Pettigrew and Whistle creeks highlighted these exploration programs with heavy metal concentrates returning values to 28000 ppm gold.

The Snowstorm showing (Figure 4.0) is located less than 100 metres north of the W-17 claim, on the Gold Mine claim of Prim0 Resources. Documented exploration dates to 1925 and consists of a shaft and a number of old hand dug pits, with a limited amount of bulldozer trenching. Outcrop is sparse over the area, and geology, restricted mostly to the old pits consists of fine grained siliceous sediments and coarser tuffaceous units.
Pits 1 and 2 expose a northwesterly striking shear zone 60 centimetres wide and limonitic. The central part of the zone is bleached, silicified and mineralized with arsenopyrite. It is in part coated with a fine yellow oxide. In Pit 2. a northeasterly striking cross fault, offset by approximately one metre by the northwest striking fault is also partially silicified and has arsenopyrite and the yellow oxide.
In Pit 3, located 30 metres north of Pit 2, a northerly striking shear zone similar in appearance to the shear

Crooker sampled the shear zones exposed in the old workings in 1999 and confirmed the strongly anomalous gold values (Table 4.0).
The Hed showing (Figure 4.0) is located approximately 100 metres west of the GH-3 claim, on the Gold Mine claim of Primo Resources. This showing was discovered in 1973 by Canadian Occidental Petroleum as a result of an anomalous stream sediment sample. The main showing consists of an iron rich gossan in an 025" striking, steeply east dipping fault zone exposed in a road cut. One select sample taken from the gossan zone by Canadian Occidental Petroleum (MacDonald 1976) assayed 2.046 ounces per ton gold.

Canadian Occidental Petroleum conducted geological mapping, prospecting and soil geochemical sampling in the area, and during 1976 tested the Hed showing with three diamond drill holes totalling 240 metres. Table 5.0 summarizes the drill hole data.

The Gold Hill showing is located on the GH-8 and W-18 claims (Figure 4.0). The first documented exploration on the Gold Hill showing dates to the middle 1930's and consists of three adits, a shaft, a number of pits and bulldozer trenching. The workings are located within well bedded cherty sediments, argillite and poorly bedded to massive tuffs. Within the sediments are one or more bands or beds of breccia that consist of fragments of wallrock in a calcitequartz matrix. A fresh, light grey, medium grained hornblende diorite (Hedley intrusive) and at least one fine grained dyke intrude the sediments.

Adits 2 and 3 and the shaft explore a northwesterly striking shear zone in hornblende diorite of Hedley intrusive. Dump material indicates that the shear zone probably contains coarse masses of arsenopyrite in
calcite overlain by and in fault contact with hornblende diorite. leached vuggy quartz. The shaft at the northwest end of adits 2 and 3 exposes a large mass of crystalline

Included within and possibly forming the walls of the breccia are beds of fine grained sediments containing conformable bands of calcite 1 to 3 centimetres wide. The old pits indicate there may be more than one horizon of breccia and calcite banding, alternating with tuff
Adit 1 is 62 metres long and passes beneath adit 3. The first 42 metres of the adit is in fine grained argillaceous sediments and tuffs cut by numerous 330' to 340" striking, steeply dipping limonitic faults. The remaining 20 metres of the adit is in calcite-quartz breccia and conformable bands of calcite, similar to the rocks exposed on surface. The adit ends in these relatively flat lying brecciated and banded rocks. The relationship between the breccia and banding exposed on surface and in adit 1 is not clear, it may represent several beds within the sediments or may be repeated by faulting or folding.
On surface and underground the brecciated rocks in particular and the banded rocks to a lesser extent are well mineralized with coarse masses of pyrite, small blebs of sphalerite, and minor arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and galena. Philex Gold and Energy Corporation collected a number of rock samples from the workings and the results are given in Table 7.0. These results indicate moderately anomalous gold values in the 0.05 to 0.12 ounce per ton range, with a maximum of 0.258 ounce per ton.
The Mission showing (Figure 4.0) is located in the south central portion of the Van-2 claim and documented exploration predates 1936 The showing is located within an elongate mass of medium grained granodiorite of the Cahill Creek pluton near the contact with argillite, siltstone and limestone of the Stemwinder? Formation. Mineralization is fracture controlled and contained within three principle shear zones (Barnes, Walker and Winkler) that cut the granodiorite.
The Barnes zone is the most significant zone, striking 030" and dipping 70" southeast. This zone has been traced for 240 metres along strike and is between three and five metres wide. The Walker and Winkler appear to be subsidiary zones extending southwest from the Barnes zone. The Walker zone has been traced for 90 metres, strikes 060" and dips 80" northwest, while the Winkler zone has been traced for 140 metres, strikes 060' and dips 85" southeast.
The granodiorite is altered in the shear zones to quartz, sericite, kaolinite, chlorite, carbonate and epidote. Disseminations, bands and lenses of sulphides, with local amounts of white quartz form between a trace and 40% of the altered granodiorite. Mineralization consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite and minor amounts

grams per tonne. An arsenopyrite rich sample collected by GE Ray (BC Ministry of Mines Bulletin 87) assayed 3.3 grams gold and 370 grams silver per tonne, 0.18% lead, 2.85% zinc, 19% arsenic, 205 ppm bismuth and 620 ppm antimony.
Austrc-Can Explorations Ltd and Agio Resources Ltd conducted VLF-EM, magnetic and induced polarization geophysical surveying, a limited amount of soil geochemical sampling (arsenic, silver and gold) and geological mapping near the showing. Diamond drilling was carried out on the property in 1980 (four drill holes) and 1987 (three drill holes). The four 1980 drill holes tested the Mission showing and intersected bleached and oxidized granodiorite with varying amounts of quartz stringers, pyrite, arsenopyrite and sphalerite. Seventeen sections of core were sent for analysis, and the results given in Table 8.0. The highest gold assay was 0.045 ounce per ton over 90 centimetres, with 0.89 ounce silver per ton and 0.05% zinc (Phendler 1980, AR # 9222).
Two of the 1987 drill holes tested the Mission showing and traced the zone to a depth of 25 metres below surface. The zone is reported to be strong at depth with silicification, propylitic alteration and thin stringers and disseminations of pyrite, arsenopyrite and sphalerite. The third drill hole tested an induced polarization chargeability anomaly along the main road a few hundred metres west of the Mission showing. This drill hole intersected weak pyroxene skarned limestone and argillite with up to 5% pyrite veinlets from 3.04 to 13.71 metres and argillic altered and iron stained tuff with quartzcalcite veinlets and pods with 1.3% pyrite and pyrrhotite from 60.97 to 75.61 metres. No assaying was carried out on these three drill holes.

The Blitz showing (Figure 4.0) is located on the John 1 to 6 claims and was initially explored in the 1930% although no documented information has been found on this work. Approximately 25 hand trenches, a winze and a shaft were excavated on the property.
Thinly bedded black argillite with minor interbedded limestone, tuff and chert underlie the property. The argillites have been locally silicified and veined and flooded with quartz. Pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite occur in zones of silicification, veining and flooding.

The highest gold values at the Blitz showing came from a 10 to 20 centimetre wide quartz vein within a 75 to 140 centimetre wide shear zone exposed in trenches 7 and 8. The quartz vein and associated shear zone have been exposed For about 10 metres along strike, strike 007" and dip 65" west, with the quartz vein containing 2 to 3% pyrite and 2 to 4% arsenopyrite.
At the winze, 620 metre north of trenches 7 and 8, a 60 to 140 centimetre wide quartz vein striking 009" and dipping 64" west is exposed over a strike length of 6 metres. The vein contains up to 556 pyrite locally with limonite filled boxworks.
At the shaft, 190 metres north of the winze, a 120 to 140 centimetre wide zone of quartz stockwork and breccia striking 005" and dipping 76" west is exposed in the north wall. The zone is hosted by weakly sheared and fractured silicified argillite, and consists of 10 to 75% quartz veinlets with breccia fragments of quartz and silicified argillite.
The Van showings (North and South, Figure 4.0) are located in the central portion of the Van-1 claim and consist of angular boulders with hornfels alteration exposed at two logging landings approximately 250 metres apart. A tuffaceous siltstone has been altered to glassy grey and black hornfels andlor silicified. The rock is strongly fractured and contains 2 to 4% disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite, some in seams up to 2 millimetres wide. The highest gold value from the Van North showing is 100 ppb and from the Van South showing is 75 ppb. Complete results from the rock sampling are given in Table 10.0.
The Speculator and Don showings (Figure 3.0) are located on the D 3 and 4 claims and are hosted by northerly striking, steep westerly dipping calcareous siltstone and thick limestone and marble beds of the Hedley Formation, close to the western margin of the Cahill Creek Pluton. The sedimentary rocks are intruded by several Hedley sills, with all rocks thermally overprinted by the Cahill Creek pluton.
At the Speculator showing, the argillite and siltstone are commonly metamorphosed to biotite hornfels while the limestone beds are selectively replaced by various calcium silicates. Six old trenches in a zone of intense limonitic oxidation, 200 metres long and up to 12 metres wide display fine to coarse grained arsenopyrite and varying amounts of pyrrhotite. pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. Six of seven samples collected from the trenches by Montello Resources in 1987 (AR# 15,177) assayed from 0.005 to 3.38 grams per tonne gold, while a seventh sample with the highest concentrations of arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite assayed 5.9 grams per tonne gold.

Chevron Minerals drill tested the showing with four diamond drill holes (Table 11 .O) totalling 385 metres in 1987 (AR# 17,012) and 1988 (AR# 18,228). The drilling encountered interbedded hornfels alnd calcareous siltstone, with minor limestone and skarn containing up to 1% disseminated pyrite and 1% disseminated pyrrhotite. Gold values in the drill core ranged up to 0.35 grams per tonne over 2.16 metres (DDH 88-06, 42.0144.17 metres). A number of other intersections gave weakly anomalous gold values in the 20 to 100 ppb range, with arsenic in the 50 to 2300 ppm range.
The Don showing is located approximately 150 metres north of the Speculator showing and consists of a zone of shearing and alteration that crosses a sill of the Hedley intrusions. The sill cuts argillite and limestone'of the Hedley Formation. The zone consists mainly of quartz, epidote, calcite, pyroxene, zoisite and apatite with locally massive sulphides, mainly arsenopyrite. Two samples assayed 0.34 and 0.69 grams per tonne gold (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 243, page 80).
The Lost Horse 86 showing is located approximately 1000 metres southwest of the Speculator showing on the D 5 to 8 claims. Westerly dipping (40 to 70 degrees) argillite, siltstone and tuff, locally with limestone and conglomerate have been intruded by a swarm of southerly striking, sulphide rich Hedley intrusive sills that are associated with extensive alteration and bleaching. The alteration is characterized by minor amounts of coarse pyroxene-garnet-scapolite-wollastonite-cartmnate exoskam alteration as well as purple-brown biotite alteration and siliceous, fine-grained pyroxene-orthoclase-quartz assemblages that are mottled pink and green in colour. Pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite mineralization is exposed in old trenches at a number of locations in the alteration zone. An 0.5 metre chip sample of calcic hornfels with 5% disseminated pyrite assayed 5.42 grams per tonne gold and 26 grams per tonne silver (AR# 17085).
Chevron Minerals drill tested the showing with three diamond drill holes totalling 676 metres (Table 11.0)
exoskarn containing abundant scapolite with albite plagioclase, tremolite, idocrase, pyrrhotite, pyrite, rare in 1987 (AR# 17,085) and 1988 (AR# 18,233). The drilling intersected endoskarn and garnet-pyroxene
arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. As at the Nickel Plate mine, the scapolite was late and associated with the sulphide mineralization. Gold values ranged up to 0.565 grams per tonne over 2 metres (DDH 87-01, 95.76- 97.76 metres). A number of other intersections gave weakly anomalous gold values in the 20 to 290 ppb range with arsenic in the 60 to 4400 ppm range.

4.0 GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION
4.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Hedley Gold Camp is located within the lntemntane Belt of the Canadian Cordillera. The oldest rocks

or major faults. The area between Winters and Whistle creeks is largely underlain by sedimentary and minor limestone. The complex and supercrustal rocks further west are separated by either intrusive rocks
volcaniclastic rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group and the Lower Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group.
Mapping by Ray and Dawson divides the Nicola Group into three distinct stratigraphic packages. The oldest, the Oregon Claims Formation, comprises massive, mafic quartz-bearing andesitic lo basaltic ash tuff and minor chertpebble conglomerate. This previously unrecognized basal unit is poorly exposed in the Hedley district, but has been identified in several localities. The Oregon Claims Formation is stratigraphically overlain by a 100 to 700 metre thick sedimentary sequence in which a series of east-to-west facies changes are recognized. This sequence progressively thickens westward and the facies changes probably reflect deposition across the tectonically controlled margin of a northwesterly deepening Late Triassic marine basin.
The eastern most and most proximal facies, called the French Mine Formation has a maximum thickness of 150 metres and comprises massive to bedded limestone interlayered with thinner units of calcareous siltstone, chert-pebble conglomerate, tuff, limestone-boulder conglomerate and limestone breccia. This formation hosts the auriferous skarn mineralization at the French and Good Hope mines.
Further west, rocks stratigraphically equivalent to the French Mine Formation are represented by the Hedley
metres thick and characterized by thinly bedded, turbiditic calcareous siltstone and units of pure to gritty, Formation that hosts the gold-bearing skarn at the Nickel Plate mine. The Hedley Formation is 400 to 500
formation includes lesser amounts of argillite, conglomerate and bedded tuff; locally the lowermost portion massive to bedded limestone that reach 75 metres in thickness and several kilometres in strike length. The
includes minor chert-pebble conglomerate.
The western most, more distal facies is represented by the Stemwinder Formation that is at least 700 metres thick and characterized by a sequence of black, organic-rich, thinly bedded calcareous argillite and turbiditic siltstone, minor amounts of siliceous finegrained tuff and impure limestone beds. The Stemwinder Formation hosts the Maple Leaf and Pine Knot gold occurrences (vein),
The Chuchuwaya Formation forms a steeply dipping, wedge shaped unit between the Stemwinder and
while to the north it is intruded by the Lookout Ridge pluton. The formation is a minimum of 1500 metres thick Hedley formations. To the west and east it is bounded respectively by the Chuchuwaya and Bradshaw faults,
and consists of predominately thinly bedded calcareous siltstone that closely resembles the sillstones of the Hedley Formation. However unlike the Hedley Formation, it does not contain thick or extensive beds of
minor argillite and some large units of siliceous and tuffaceous argillite. The Chuchuwaya Formation hosts limestone, with the limestone beds seldom exceeding five metres in thickness. The formation also contains
the Peggy gold occurrence (skarn).
The sedimentary rocks of the French Mine, Hedley, Stemwinder and Chuchuwaya formations pass stratigraphically upward into the Whistle Formation that is probably Late Triassic in age. The formation is 700 to 1200 metres thick and distinguishable from the underlying rocks by a general lack of limestone and a predominance of andesitic volcaniclastic material. The Whistle Formation is host to the Canty (skarn and stockwork) and Gold Hill (vein) gold occurrences.

The base of the Whistle Formation is marked by the Copperfield breccia, a limestone-boulder conglomerate that forms the most distinctive and important stratigraphic marker horizon in the district. The breccia is well developed west of Hedley where it forms a northerly trending, steeply dipping unit that is traceable for over 15 kilometres along strike. The same conglomerate outcrops in small areas within up faulted slices along Pettigrew Creek to the south and as outliers near Nickel Plate and Lookout Mountain to the east.
The Nicola Group rocks in the Hedley area are overlain by calcalkaline waterlain tuffs, and derived epiclastic
represent a newly recognized mid-Jurassic supracrustal succession, the Skwel Peken Formation. It is rocks that were formerly correlated with the Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group. They are now thought to
uncertain at this time whether their contact with the Nicola Group is a thrust or unconformity. The Skwel Peken Formation is exposed as two erosional outliers in the Hedley area. The largest and southernmost outlier is centred on the Skwel Kwel Peken Ridge and the other lies northeast of the Nickel Plate Mine.
Along the western margin of the Hedley Basin, the Whistle Formation is overlain (unconformably?) by volcaniclastic rocks that may belong to the Early Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group. These rocks are not recognized as being gold bearing in the district.
Three suites of plutonic rocks are recognized in the area. The oldest. the Hedley intrusions is probably Early Jurassic in age and is economically important. It forms major stocks up to 1.5 kilometres in diameter and swarms of thin sills and dykes up to 200 metres in thickness and over 1 kilometre in length. The sills and dykes are coarsegrained and massive diorites and quartz diorites with minor gabbro, while the stocks range from gabbro through granodiorite to quartz monzonite. When unaltered they are dark coloured. commonly contain minor disseminations of pyrite and pyrrhotite and are often rusty weathered. In contrast, the skarn- altered diorite intrusions are usually pale coloured and bleached.
The Hedley intrusive suite intrudes the Upper Triassic rocks over a broad area. Varying degrees of sulphide bearing calcic skarn alteration are developed within and adjacent to many of these intrusions, particularly the dykes and sills. This plutonic suite is genetically related to the skarn-hosted gold mineralization in the district including that at the Nickel Plate, Hedley Mascot, French and Good Hope mines, and gold occurrences at Banbury, Gold Hill, Peggy and Canty. The Hedley intrusive suite consists of six stocks known as Toronto, Stemwinder, Aberdeen, Banbury, Larcan and Pettigrew.
The second plutonic suite is the Early Jurassic? Sirnilkameen intrusions that comprise coarse-grained, biotite
and Cahill Creek pluton that separate the Nicola rocks from the highly deformed Apex Mountain Group. hornblende granodiorite to quartz monzodiorite. It generally forms large bodies like the Bromley batholith
The third and youngest intrusive suite includes two rock types that are possibly coeval and related to the formation of the dacitic volcaniclastic rocks within the Spences Bridge Group. One of these, the Verde Creek stock comprises a fine to medium grained, massive leucocratic microgranite that contains minor biotite. The other type is represented by fine-grained, leucocratic, felsic quartz porphyry.
4.2 HEDLEY DISTRICT GOLD DEPOSITS
The gold occurrences and deposits within the Hedley area are spatially associated with dioritic bodies of the Hedley intrusions. The gold mineralization can be broadly divided into skarn and vein-related types.
The skam-related mineralization is the most widespread and economically important. and is characterized by the gold being intimately associated with variable quantities of sulphide bearing garnet-pyroxene-
pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, and in lesser amounts with pyrite, gersdorffite (NiAsS), sphalerite, magnetite and carbonate skarn alteration. The gold tends to be associated with sulphides, particularly arsenopyrite,
cobalt minerals. Trace minerals include galena, native bismuth, electrum, tetrahedrite and molybdenite. This type of mineralization is found at the Nickel Plate, French, Good Hope, Peggy and Canty deposits.
19
Geochemical studies by Ray (1987) based on analyses of over 300 samples from various ore zones in the Nickel Plate deposits, showed the following correlation coefficients.
High Au:Bi 0.84
Medium LOW Au:Co 0.58 . Au:Cu 0.17
Ag:Cu 0.84 Au:As 0:46 Bi:Co 0.62 Au:Ag 0.46
Ray states that the strong positive correlation between gold and bismuth reflects the close association of
observed association of gold, arsenopyrite and gersdorffite. The high positive correlation between silver and native gold with hedfeyhte, while the moderate positive correlation between gold, cobalt and arsenic confirms
copper may indicate that some silver ocwrs as a lattice constituent in the chalcopyrite and/or in association with tetrahedrite (Cu-Sb sulphide often contains Zn, Pd, Hg, Co, Ni and Ag replacing Cu). The gold and silver values are relatively independent of each other despite the presence of electrum, and there is generally a low correlation between gold and copper.
The skarn-related mineralization is generally stratabound and follows calcareous tuff, thinly-bedded
sections of the Stemwinder and Whistle formations. Swarms of diorite sills and dykes of the Hedley intrusions limestone and limey argillite within the upper sections of the French Mine and Hedley formations and lower
have intruded the favourable beds and altered them by contact metamorphism to hornfels. Both the intrusions and sediments were subsequently overprinted with the skam alteration.
The vein-related mineralization is characterized by gold and sulphides hosted in higher level, fracture-filled quartz-carbonate vein and stockwork systems. This type of mineralization ocwrs at the Maple Leaf and Pine Knot gold occurrences.
The Maple Leaf and Pine Knot gold Occurrences are located 700 metres east of the GH-8 claim. The geology
tuffaceous rocks that are intruded by two elongate. easterly trending diorite stocks belonging to the Hedley at the Maple Leaf and Pine Knot occurrences consists of northerly striking, steeply dipping sedimentary and
intrusions. They extend over a strike length of 1.3 kilometres and exceed 300 metres in width. The stocks intrude the Upper Triassic succession, crosscutting calcareous siltstone, argillite, and thin limestone of the Stemwinder Formation in the east, a 200 metre thick section of the Copperfield breccia in the centre, and andesitic tuff of the Whistle Formation in the west. Both stocks comprise two rock types, a leucocratic quartz diorite suite and a highly mafic diorite-gabbro suite. The stocks have irregular intrusive contacts that interfinger with the bedded country rocks, and are surrounded by hornfels alteration. Both the stocks and the hornfels alteration are cut by several irregular, northerly trending fracture zones that are filled by steep and shallowdipping quartz+carbonate vein systems (Maple Leaf and Pine Knot veins). Individual veins are up to 3 metres wide, exceed 100 metres in length and contain mainly glassy to white to pale pink-coloured, strained quartz with lesser amounts of coarse calcite, sporadic visible gold, arsenopyrite, pyrrholite, pyrite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. Locally they are sheared, vuggy and contain angular brecciated clasts of chloritized. silicified country rock. The leucocratic diorite locally contains pockets of intense skarn alteration. The quartz veins crosscut and postdate the skarn alteration.

5.0 GEOPHYSICS
5.1 MAGNETIC SURVEY
A total of 14.05 kilometres of total field magnetic survey was carried out over the Wand GH claims during 2000. Survey lines were spaced at 100 metre intervals with station spacing 25 metres. Total field magnetic values ranged from 55618 to 5701 1 nanoteslas and the contours are displayed on Figure 5.0. Background magnetic values are in the range of 55900 to 56000 nanoteslas, with three zones of higher magnetism (MH- A, MH-B and MH-C).
Magnetic high MH-A is a zone of slightly higher magnetism with total field magnetic values ranging up to 56239 nanoteslas. The zone occurs immediately south of the Snowstorm showing and extends in a south southwesterly direction from line 3500N between 2225E and 2500E to line 3300N between 2125E and 2350E. The relationship of magnetic high MH-A to the gold mineralization at the Snowstorm showing is not known at this time. However the magnetic high may be related to Hedley intrusive diorite dykes andlor sills.
Magnetic high MH-B is a narrow, north-south trending zone of higher magnetism with total field magnetic values ranging up to 5701 1 nanoteslas. The zone is strongest on line 4000N between 3400E and 3500E and fades to t h e nwth and south. No cause is known for magnetic high MH-B at this time, however i t is probably related to Hedley intrusive dykes andlor sills.
Magnetic high MH-C is a poorly defined zone of slightly higher magnetism with total field magnetic values ranging up to 56415 nanoteslas. The zone occurs intermittently along baseline 3250E between 3425N and
the east. Magnetic high MH-C is probably also caused by Hedley intrusive dykes andor sills. 3725E. but the extent of the magnetic high is not known at this time as there are no grid lines extending to

displayed on Figure 6.0. Survey lines were spaced at 100 metre intervals with station spacing 25 metres. The VLF-EM profiles are .
VLF-EM profiles show a weak to moderate response to conductivity. Topographic bias do to up and down slope VLF-EM instrument orientation is minimal. Topographic bias in steep terrain can produce profile characteristics that resemble real conductors although they are usually broad and follow topographic contours. A number of weak to strong, north to norlh northeasterly trending conductor systems were delineated by the survey. Three of the conductor systems ("A, B and C ) are strong and possibly significant.
Conductor system "A appears to be the most significant as it may be the northern extension of the auriferous shear zone exposed at the Hed showing on the Gold Mine claim of Primo Resources. It is very strong, trends about 025", extends from line 4200N and 2787E to line 4400N and 2912E (300 metres long) and is open to the north.
Conductor system "6" is moderate to the north, becoming stronger to the south, trends from 020" to 025",
