Summary

The property consists of 27 MGS claim units covering 664 hectares
(1640 acres), located within the Fort Steele Mining Division, BC,
Canada.

SILVER-COPPER-LEAD-ZINC target

Geology

The property covers steeply-dipping phyllitic quartzites and dolomitic
limestones belonging to the Proterozoic Creston and Kitchener Formations.
A number of thick gabbroic sills are present within the claim area
and may be related to mineralization. Bedding throughout the property
area is vertical or sub-vertical, with beds striking north/south.
No significant folding or faulting has been recognised on the property

Target mineralization on the K9 claims are stratabound massive sulphides
within Creston Formation rocks. Such an occurrence exists within
three small crown-granted titles (owned by E. Denny) situated within
the K9 property boundary. A similar and possibly related showing
was discovered through the course of work performed during 1996.
This showing, located at elevation 6200 feet, has seen limited historic
development, with a 7m-deep shaft sunk into a 2.7m wide pyrrhotite
lens. No documentation has been found relating to the shaft.
