Summary

The property is composed of 5,075 hectares located on the Adams Plateau area, some 45 km mortheast of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. The property is contiguous with and surrounds the Homestake/Kamad
(Max) claims.

Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) - type prospect

Geology

The area covers a stratigraphic package (the Paleozoic Eagle Bay Assemblage comprising metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks)
which hosts a number of nearby past-producing base and precious metal
deposits including the Samatosum, Red Gold and Homestake mines.

Past Work

Work by past operators indicates that the Acacia property contains well developed volcanogenic massive sulphide - type mineralization and alteration hosted by the Eagle Bay metasedimentary and metavolcanic package. The property has at least three known target areas. Adjacent to the northern part of the property in the area of the historical
Twin showings, massive sulphide mineralization isassociated with a series of stacked sulphide lenses hosted by metamorphosed volcanics. This horizon is believed to be the strike extension of the zone that hosts the Red Gold deposit located approximately one kilometre north
of the northern Acacia claim boundary.

The central part of the Acacia property surrounds the historic Homestake mine.

The southern part of the property covers at least eight known mineral occurrences including the historic Acacia showing. Mineralization includes stratiform massive sulphides occurring along lithologic contacts and remobilized epigenetic sulphide veins. Grab samples
of massive sulphide from small adits in the area of the Acacia showing returned values up to 19.2% zinc. Outcrop is poorly exposed beneath a thick blanket of glacial till.
