SUMMARY

The Syrup property is located 22km west of t h e city of Keloma, in the

Vernon mining district. The current work program consisted of prospecting, soil order to understand the distribution of rock types. Mapping and sampling control was provided by an extensive road network, servicing the logging industry, and maps available from the B.C. Forest Service. A total of 383 soil samples, 3 silt samples and 4 4 rock samples were collected and subjected to multi-element geochemical analysis. a total of 20,600 metres of sample line were flagged and sampled and 1400 metres of baseline flagged and stationed every 50 metres.

sampling and geological mapping in

Sampling is widely spaced and of J reconnaissance nature. Although precious metal values so far detected are generally low, some areas warrant further exploration.

The poperty is underlain by Pennsylvanian to Permian volcanics and sed-

iments of the Thompson assemblage (formerly Cache Creek Group) and/or the Upper Triassic Nicola Group and granitoid intrusive rocks believed to be of Upper Jurassic t o Cretaceous age. The Thompson/Nicola rocks strike generally northwest to southeast and dip moderately to the southwest. They have also been intruded by the Old Dave ultra basic intrusions which are pre-Late Triassic in age. Brenda Mine, a large, operating copper-molyWenum mine, is located about 20 km to the south in felsic intrusive rocks believed to be of Late Jurassic age.

History The area west of Okanagan lake has received the attention of prospectors

since at least the turn of the century arid prokably pr ior Lo that time ?:so.

A.J.Schmidt, has swmrized the history of the area very we1.I. Huch of the following is taken from his 1989 report.

The Blue Hawk and White Elephant gold-silver prospects were located and tons /day), explored in the 1920's. The active Brenda Mine (producing 20,000

It is reputed to be the lowest grade porphyry copper-molybdenm mine in the world (present reserve grade 0.15% 0-1, 0.03% Mo). The entire district was vigorously explored f o r similar deposits during 1960-1975, during which time several prospects were located. The same area was again explored for its uranium potential during a shorter flurry of activity, about 1970-78.

has been in almost constant prduction since 1969.

The discovery, by Huntington Resources, on t he Brett p o p e r t y about 33 kin to the north-northeast of the SYRUP claims, of high grade gold mineralization in 1988, has Zed to the present exploration activity in t he

area.The recent activity has seen almost the entire west side of Okanagan Lake completely covered by mineral claims. Within the area, gold mineralization has k e n found in 1988 on the FLAP claims 7 kms to the north; in 1980 on the NCGAN (now Jubilation) claims 4 kms to the east; and on the ZUMAR claims in 1979 from which a 60 ton shipment, grading 0.139 opt Au and 1.23 opt Ag., was made in 1980 to the Trail Smelter.

The Location of the various mines and prospects is presented on Figure 3

which has been adapted from A.J . Schmidt's 1989 report to Verdstone Gold Corp.

Chevron Minerals completed a prospecting/geological & geochemical program on the FLIP claim during 1988, and reported the presence of c o p p r values t o 2000 ppm and the presence of gold -lues to The claim is situated 2%m to the north of the SYRUP claims.

200 ppb.

Kerr Addison Mines completed a geological and geochemical program during 1988 on the LAMB claims immediately to the east of the JACi 4 and the FLIP claims. They reported only erratic mineralization from small quartz veins and disappointing results from garnet diopside skarn development.

Current Work Program

The field phase of the current work progrcun was undertaken on September 10, 1989 and completed on October 7, 1989. Not a l l the time during this period was spent on the SYRUP claims. Two prospectors, P. Newman and J. Boutwell prospected and conducted reconnaissance style mapping and sampling. Several lines across the claims were sampled and prospected. The network of logging roads afforded a good means of mapping and sampling control and often provide a source of outcropping bedrock otherwise not always common. W.A. Howell, geologist, reviewed the prospecting results and conducted preliminary mapping and rock &impling. During the field phase of the program, Victor Guinet was present and contributed to prospecting and geological napping for two days on the SYRUP claims. G. Medford, PhP. was a lso present an2 made a similar contribution f o r one day on the SYRUP claims.

Regional Aspects

The SYRUP property is located within a north westerly trending belt of lower grade Carboniferous t o Triassic metasedimentary an6 metavolcanic rocks of island arc and oceanic derivation. Metamorphism has proceeded to greenschist facies. Regionally, the rocks are intruded by grsnitoid plutonic: rocks of the middle Jurassic Nelson suite arid the JUrd-CrekaCeOUS Valhalla suite. Ultramafic rocks of undeterminable age or genesis OCCUL as small msses throiq!toi~t t h e Thompson-Okanagan-Shuswap area, Only the n:d Dave Intrusions (northwest of pre-Late Triassic in age and suspected to be of intrusive origin.

SYRUP claims.

syrup Property

Reconnaissance mapping has shown volcanic rocks and sediments of the Thompson assemblage (formerly Cache Creek Group) and possibly Nicola Group to underlay the northeast portion of the SYRU? No.1 claim (Figure 4 ) . The southwestern portion of the SYRUP No.1 and almost all of the SYRUP N0.2 are underlain by uniform, massively textured, hornblende / biotite quartz-diorite.

The sediments are observed in faulted contact with the intrusive rocks

along the Rear Main in the vicinity of Km 30. The road cut ex?oses siltstones

and shaley members of ? Nicola sediments with the quartz-diorite along a faulted surface trending 130°/80%.

Reconnaissance mapping has shown volcanic rock and sediments of the Thompson assemblage and/or Nicola Group to lay in a northwesterly t o

mutheasterly of the SYRUP claims. The southwestern portion of the claims is underlain by intrusive rocks of the Jura-Cretaceous Okanagan htholith (Figure 4 . ) In the vicinity of the SYRUP

claims, the intrusive rocks are very homogeneous, medium tu coarse-grained, biotite-hornblende quartz diorite. They weather very massive and blocky. The Intrusives are relatively unfractured and show little variation in alteration except for diagenetic effects. The volcanics and sediments are poorly exposed arid the sediments, particularly, weather recessively. me volcanics commonly are metamorphosed t o greenschist facies. They are well-fractured and biocky in nature, foliated in a NW to SE trend and are occasionally fractured with quartz veins. Sulphide mineralization is variably present, usually in quartz veins, or as an accessory or minor constituent. Within the quartz veins, ?site content is yenerally greater than pyrrhotite which is greater than chalcopyrite. Within the black shales, pyrrhotite is ubiquitous along bedding planes and parting planes, and is by far the dominant sulphide mineral. "he

pyrrhotite, in the black shale environment, is believed to be syngenetic in origin .

The intrusive rucks have !xen observed along t h e &dr ??din (logging road) in fault contact with the older volcanics a d sediments. The primary contact is along a faulted surface treiiding l?O"/aC%. This direction 5as been o f f s e t left laterally in a series of step-like patterns along 03Oo/9O0.

The black shales occasionally have limy and silty interbeds. These offer potential as marker horizons for future mapping. Tho shales outcropping some

near the eastern side of the property do not appear to have endured the same degree of metamorphism as sediments outcropping regionally farther north and west. The former may be members of the Upper Triassic - Lower Jurassic Nicola group, while the latter, members of the earlier Carboniferous assemblages.

Major faults are postulated in a northwesterly t rend and appear to be o f f s e t in a secondary northeasterly direction. This pzttern has been observe? in the intrusive - sediment contact mentioned above, along t h e Bear Main, and

is reflected in the regional drainage patterns, an example of which is t h e

"zig-zag" course of Powers Creek as it traverses the SYR!JP claim;. Numerous air photo linear features are undoubtedly fault related, several of them are continuous for several kilometres without visible offset, rlesgite the relative abundance of the northeasterly trending linear fedt:ires. Rejuvenation or

repeated episodes of faulting along pre-existing sI.ructurcs mxy allow t h e

presence of such unbroken lineations. In any case, t h e geclogy of both the property and the region will be complicated to some deyree by fault controlled structures.

MINERALIZATION AND GEOCHEMISTRY

Regional Aspects

Exploration f o r gold and other metals has occurred in cyclical fashion within the Okanagan area, as it has done throughout Britisll Columbia, since the arrival of the first prospectors and settlers prior to t he turn of the last century. In the 192O's, work vas done on the Blue Hawk and White Elephant gold-silver prospects. Some minor placer gold production frcjm Trepanier Creek

and lode copper exploration at the head of that drainage through t o the i940'~ led porphyry copper explorationists to develop the operating Brenda Mine which went into production in 1969. In more recent years the discovery of gold on the Brett Property by Huntington Resources, ahoi.it 3; km northeast of the SYRUP claims has spurred renewed interest in the regiort.

Adjacent or nearby the SYRUP claims, gold exploration work has been carried out by several operators. Chevron Hinerals has rc-ported anomalous gold values to 200 ppb, and copper values to 2000 Spm on the FLIP claims during 1388. Kerr Addison also performed an exploration program on their LAMB Claims in 1988. They apparently had a gold skarn model in mind ant! cited numerou Eeatures to substantiate the idea. mey reported very low values for gold from skarns and sporadic values from small quartz veins. To the north, on the regional strike direction of foliation and bedding from the SYRW claims, gold was discovered on the FLAP claim durinq 1988. The gold occurs in narrow quartz veins along northwesterly trending 2yritic stringer zones (Schmidt, 19891. Schmidt also has drawn a comparison between t h e FLA? claim and the Jubilation gold prospect (NOGAN), where low concentrations of gold occur in pyrite bearing narrow quartz veinlets within brecciated and altered limy argillite.

Forty-four rock samples, three silt samples arid 3 i L e e hundred eighty- three soil samples weze collected from the SYRUP property.

Samples were analyzed by T.C.?. techniques for 10 ciements including: Mo; Cu; Pb; Zn; Ag; Ni; Co; As; Sb; and Ba. Gold was determined by acic! leach followed by atomic adsorption analysis using a 10 gram sample. All samples were analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. 852 E. Hastings St. Vancouver B.C. V6A 1R6.

The data is presented in the appendix to this re2ort. Au, Ag, and As values are also illustrated on Figure 4 .

easterly t rending set . these f a u l t s may have been repeatedly activated throughout t h e geological h i s t o r y of t h e area. Anomalous geochemical values

for gold, copper, lead, z inc and a r s e n i c have been detected from an area extending from the north c e n t r a l boundary of t he p o p e r t y t o t h e southeast corner of t he SYRUP 1 claim. This area is underlain by p y r i t i c and rusty sediments and volcanics i n contac t with qua r t z -d io r i t c .

RECOMMENDATIONS

Continued exploration of the SYRUP property is recommended t o test fo r

gold mineralization related to pyritic quartz veins and t o test for base m e t d l

horizons within the types may not ke mutually exclusive). The survey grid should be extended for continuing geochemical sampling and conducting geophysical studies. Line spciny should be 1GO n? apart with station spacing every 25 m. along the lines. The grid anc! survey area can be restricted t o include only that portion of the claim underlain by the volcanic am3 sedimentary units. Overburden depths are not expxted to be excessive and shoulZri't place undue interpretation diff:cu:ties on the mi: geochemical surveys. Initially, magnetometer and vL%-EM surveys should be done in conjunction with the geochemical surveys anC de tailed map pin^. Tie surveys can be expanded t o fill-in lines or additional surveys such as 1.P.surveys m y be performed as required. An excavator may readily be employed &cause of the excellent road access and minimal overburden cover, to evaluate any anomalous areas defined.

Description

Qtz veins with pyrite. o b . in coarse roadside rubble but not in outcrop. local outcrop is limey interbeded fine sandy tuffsand crossbedding. Rx are locally rusty but not silicified. Located across the road from the "Horseshoe lake recreational site .'I

argillites with local thickening and

4an qtz vein in small re-entrant bi qtz diorite on west side of road at the south end of horseshoe lake.

Ian qtz vein in diorite contains pyrite and chalcopyrite. vein is uncommon, lies 090/lOS total sulphide is 15% with no moly. py/cpy = 3/1 or more. Sample is "high- graded. "

Rusty pyritic fractures in contact phase f.g. diorite. ?trace cpy present.

Flat E-W strike, 10s dip qtz vein/orthoclase,muscovite pegmatite. very little sulphide present. Old Cat stripping in this area looks like exploration dating to about 18 years ago. (c.1971)

chip samples across 2m each, of high sulphide, siliceous sintery black shale in "nose" of road along the south side of logging slash near the southeast boundary of the Jack claims.

Fine gr. grey heavy rock, o / c has 15% diss. f.g. sulphides in f.g.qtz/ser Matrix within the black shales.

Very hard siliceous & pyritic nubbin in the road bed. Difficult to sample properly. Rock is probably a siliceous tuff.

Sintery grey vertically bedded fine sandy seds. v.f.g. sulphides possibly po. old sampling here is "TLE 88-83" sample is on a N-S yellow flag line vith white tags and is located on the Bear Main adj. to km 28.

200m up spur road at 24km on the lambly creek road. The sample is off the property. the sample is of strongly quartz-carbonate altered sediments exposed in the road bed and the ditch over several tens of meters.

Sintery boxwork of fine silica stringers in a buff to khaki green v.f.g. volcanic matrix. The stringers are commonly composed of terminated quartz enclosing very smallvugs and open spaces.

Highly broken, leached, rusty, ?tuff? or greenstone. In bank of old skid trail.

Pyritic silica/sericitic alt'd greenstone in bank of old skid trail.

Intrusive, not typical, the quartz diorite comtains minor (2mm) qtz. vein with limonitic fractures and exhibits about 30% alteration to sericite. very minor possible MoS, in qtz.

Float boulder, about 200 lb. Silicified, Qtz veined volcanic breccia. Vuggy qtz veins up to 2 cm vide with abundant limomite & fine grained disseminated pyrite. boulder is in the road bed and is highly angular as if ripped out by a cat while building the road. There is no evidence of glacial rounding or smoothing.
