| WOLFENDEN | Au Ag Zn | Low Sulfidation Vein/Stockwork | BRITISH COLUMBIA |
| Geology: Lower units of Jurassic Bonanza Gp. intermediate volcanics overlie Triassic Parsons Bay Fm. sediments. Island Plutonic Suite as small stocks and dykes. |
|||
| Mineralization: Gold, silver and sphalerite with some pyrite emplaced in partly brecciated and silicified andesites. Most mineralized showings located in or at creek beds that penetrate to bedrock. Extent of located mineralization often limited by rock exposure. Showings occur centre of N-NW trending Yreka-Teeta Mineral Belt. All mineralized areas in the belt are in close proximity to cross faults. |
|||
| Work: All previous and recent work on the property was done by or under the supervision of A.I. Betmanis, P.Eng. 1970: Low-level helicopter borne magnetometer survey (AR 3,164) 1988: Regional geochemical silt survey 1989: Acquisition of Wolfenden property, detailed silt surveying, limited soil and rock sampling, 1 sq. km. grid survey with geochemical, geophysical magnetic and VLF-EM surveying. (AR 19,248) Late 1989: Coqueis Creek Showing discovered 2007: Limited additional geochemical surveying. (AR 29,396) 2008: Geolodical mapping, evaluation,compilation of all previous magnetic data, limited soil sampling. (AR 30,273) |
|||
| Results: Extensive area ~4 sq. km geochemically highly anomalous in Au and Zn from detailed silt sampling. Numerous highly anomalous rock samples occur within silt anomalous areas. Silt values range to 1015 ppb Au and occur on both north and south slopes of Mount Wolfenden. Coqueis Showing with better exposed mineralization was sampled over a length of 65m and width of 5m. with values to 3.55 g/t Au, 11.8 g/t Ag and 9.10% Zn. All highly anomalous stream and rock sampled areas are within magnetic lows. Main Coqueis showing is within 0.4 sq. km. magnetic low. |

| Property Details & Access: 30 MTO cell units (617.5 ha) Access to sections by logging roads. Central part of property best accessible by helicopter. |
|||
| Detail Location: NTS 092L/05E, 6 km. W of Port Alice , west of Neroutsos Inlet, Vancouver Island |
|||
| Other Comments: Property lies2 km S of past producing Yreka Mine; within central part of N-NW trending Yreka-Teeta Mineral Belt which extends for over 10 kilometers and includes a variety of mineral occurrences ranging from epitermal veins to skarn and to porphyry Cu-Mo. Mineral Belt is in the broader Island Copper Mine district; follows closely the Bonanza volcanic and Parsons Bay sediment contact area with most showings in the proximity of major cross faults; has been staked continuously over its known length. |
