Summary

The property is composed of 12 claims (1300 hectares), located 50
km northeast of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada.
GYPSUM prospect.

Geology

The property overlies a Devonian shale package, and is distinguished
by its stream geochemistry which includes 4 streams returning values
in the 95th percentile for the regional area. The claims also cover
gypsum occurrences hosted within the Burnais Formation. The Branch
F West and Coyote Showings are exposed over widths of 25 – 30 meters
and contain gypsum in excess of 87% purity. It is believed that the
two showings are contiguous and are estimated to have combined tonnage
potential in excess of 6 million tones of gypsum. The company plans
to shift its focus on developing the known gypsum occurrences on
the property, with an aim to eventually extracting material for use
in wallboard production.
