Project Highlights
- Low sulphidation epithermal vein system
- Two permits, an application for a permit and
an application for a mineral development
license for approximately 402 sq km
- Priority targets include Cisco Vein/Francis Creek East and Quartz Ridge
Quartz Ridge Prospect
A total of one Reverse Circulation (RC) and 6 diamond core holes have been drilled totalling 487.9 m and
1229.5 m respectively at Quartz Ridge since drilling began in August 2007.
Initial results include 10 m at 0.30 g/t Au, 1 m at 1.52 g/t Au and 1 m at 2.06 g/t Au (from 53.7 to 135.5 m
down-hole) within structures cutting the Sybil group volcanic pile of pyroclastics and tuffs.
Francis Creek Prospect
Drilling at Francis Creek has located colloform textured banded brecciated epithermal veins sometimes with
adularia and abundant silica replacing carbonate textures.
The main area of interest is within a 3 km by 2 km area of epithermal veins cutting strongly altered crystal tuffs
lying on top of carbonaceous basement rocks. Final drill holes for 2007 have cut epithermal veins in both the
acid volcanics and underlying basement sediment pile.
A total of 12 RC and 6 diamond core holes have been drilled to total 1596.2 and 659.4 m respectively at
Francis Creek since drilling began in October 2007.
Initial results from the Francis Creek drilling have been encouraging. Better results include 2 m at 7.1 g/t Au,
3.5 g/t Ag, 3 m at 3.5 g/t Au and 1 m at 7 g/t Au, 6 g/t Ag (from 159 to 180.4 m down-hole).
