The c la ims have been grouped i n t o the Solo Group.

PROPERTY HISTORY

The property was or ig inal ly discovered and staked i n 1946. The present ly known veins, A through E, were mapped, described and sampled by W. H. White f o r the B r i t i sh Columbia Department o f Mines i n 1947 (White, 19471, and by D. D. Campbell f o r Goldway Mines in September, 1947. The property was known as the "Bruce Property" a t t h i s t ime.

The property was restaked i n 1973, and optioned t o Ssn Jac in to Explorat ions in 1974. I n 1976, a l l in teres t passed t o Western Internat ional Explorations, f o r wh ich D. D. Campbell w ro te an updated report on the property, a1 though no additional v i s i t t o the area was included.

The V i 1 and 2 mineral c la ims were staked i n 1979 by Clayton Powney t o covet- the main showings.

Further ground was staked f o r Dermont Fehey i n 1980 t o include a l l the showings, A t o E, w i t h the inclusion of the V i c la ims by option.

A so i l survey across Goldway Creek, below the showings was completed by G. E. A. von Rosen (Assessment Report 10,809). It was determined tha t there was gold i n the "soi ls" i n Goldway Creek and that the most l i ke l y source was the known veins, located up-stream.

A route f o r potent ia l road access onto the property was out l ined by R. W. Phendler ( I 9831 f o r Laramie Mining Corp. (Assessment Report 1 1,636).

A VLF-EM survey was completed across the main mineral ized veins i n 1984 by R. E. Game, who concluded tha t VLF-EM resu l t s were o f l i t t l e use i n out l in ing the vein st ructures. Th is was due t o the steepness of slope and the minor amount o f sulphides w i t h i n the veins.

In 1984, Phendler (Assessment Report 13,175) sampled the A-vein, both quartz and adjacent f oo twa l l and hanging wal ls . The values of the samples conf i rmed the sampling o f White and Campbell i 19471, and showed that values i n the w a l l rock were consistent ly l o w (maximum value o f 0.055 opt).

In 1985, D. J. Pawl iuk mapped pa r t o f the property end discovered numerous previous1 y unreported veins, inc luding the F-vein, traceable f o r 390 meters, w i t h gold t o 0.1 16 opt.

I n 1986, von Rosen sampled numerous locat ions on the c la ims and h is report formed the basis o f an engineering repor t f o r a prospectus t o Super Tw ins Resources ( 1988) f o r l i s t i n g on the Vancouver Stock Exchange.

I n August o f 1989, Buster I rv ing of Vanderhoof, B. C., restaked the V i 1 and 2 c la ims as the Buster 1 and 2 i n order t o cover the ma in A-vein, wh ich had come open. Addit ional c la ims were staked t o cover the adjacent ground, a l l o f which were subsequently t ransfer red t o J e t t a Resources. The Solo 1 t o 4 mineral c la ims were staked by Je t t t l Resources over a l l the exs is t ing c la ims in May 28, 1990, and a l l previous c la ims are now included i n the Solo Group.

PRESENT WORK

The present invest igat ion was t o examine, map, sample and prospect the Solo Group i n order t o determine what the mineral ized se t t i ng was and t o con f i rm previous data, and t o incorporate a l l previous data i n t o a single report. The determinat ion the log is t i cs of d r i l l i ng and the location o f potent ia l d r i l l s i tes was par t of the project, as the property has never been d r i 11 ed.

F ie ld invest igat ions occurred in la te August and ended on the 12 o f September, 1990. Three t o four persons were on the property f o r twe lve days. Par t o f the program was t o re-trench and resample the A-vein. During t h i s process, the locat ion of the previous sampling by White, Campbell and Phendler was attempted, and shown on f igure 9 .

Th is i s an extensive be1 t, extending f o r some 1000 ki lometres, f r o m south o f Kamloops, northward i n t o the Toodoggone map-area (Tipper, 198 1). Th is area i s underlain by main lu submarine basal t i c and andesi t i c is land arc volcanics and sediments o i the Upper Tr iassic-Lower Jurassic Takla Group (Nicola Group i n the South). It i s the host, both temporal ly and spat ia l ly f o r a number of very s ign i f icant copper and or- gold mineral deposits, including Afton, Mount Polly, QR, Gibraltar, Mount Mi l l igan and the Lorraine, and numerous prospects ( f igure 2).

The regional geology o f the McConnell Creek map-area, i n p rox im i ty t o the Goldway Peak area i s dominated by volcanics and sediments of the Takla Group and probable coeval in t rus ive rocks (Richards, 19768, b, Woodsworth, 1976 and Zhang 199 1). These rocks are a l l metamorphosed i n the greenschist fac ies and ti-ansected by m a j o r shear zones tha t loca l ly are mylot i i t i c .

These in t rus ive rocks range i n age f r o m Upper Tr iass ic and include bodies of Lower Jurassic age and Cretaceous age. The more ma f i c intrusions, the u l trabasics, d io r i t es and quartz d io r i t es appear t o be associated w i t h the evolut ion of the Upper Tr iass ic (and Lower Jurassic?) Takla Group, the more acid ic appear t o be Cretaceous i n age. These in t rus ive rocks have hornfelsed the adjacent volcanics, and loca l ly developed hornblende-hornf e ls grade cbntact metamorphic rocks.

A l l the s t r a ta and int rusions are cut by ma jo r shear zones, i n addit ion t o the lngenika-Finlay Faul t (Richards, 1976, Zhang, 199 1 ). Most s ign i f icant of these i s the Dortate l le Fault, a north-trending shear zone traceable f o r some 30 ki lometres, located immediate1 y east o f the Solo Group. These shear and f au l t zones t rend i n t w o directions, the dominant group trends main1 y north-north wes t t o north-north east, and a subordinate group trending west -west north t o east-east north. These shear zones range i n s t y l e f r om my lon i t i c zones up t o 50 meters across (Dortate l le Fault), t o phyl loni t i c zones of augen ch lo r i te and local1 y se r i c i t e schists, t o d iscre te fau l t surfaces. Th is s ty le i s ind icat ive of both duc t i l e and b r i t t l e shearing, suggesting deep-seated., mesozonal environment f o r faul t ing. The age of t h i s fau l t ing i s speculative. In a regional study o f the in t rus ive rocks i n the area, Woodsworth 11 976) concludes tha t the shearing i s " res t r ic ted t o a re la t i ve lg l i m i t e d in terva l o f t i m e between the deposition o f the Takla Group (Late Tr iass ic ) and the emplacement of the Duckling Creek syeni t e (Early Jurassic)". Zhang ( 199 1 suggests tha t some of the movement took place as l a t e as Upper Cretaceous, re la ted the an episode of major- transcurrent movement along the Finlay-lngenika Faul t system. Examinations by the author, res t r i c ted t o the Solo Property, suggests that much of the fau l t ing i s early, and supports Woodsworth's v iew. The determination of ?he age o f the shearing i s s ign i f icant i n as much as i t i s concluded i n t h i s repor t that a l l the mineral ized and sub-mineralized showings are structural1 y contro l led by these f au l t s t ruc tures and are thus important as t o fu tu re local and regional exploration. it i s l ike1 y tha t fau l t ing occurred during both t ime intervals.

F REGtONAL MINERALIZATION SETTING

i: r- Explorat ion i n the area has seen l im i t ed ac t i v i t y over the past 6 0 B

years, pa r t l y due t o i t s fo rmer remoteness. Most of the known mineral

F-- occurrences were discovered i n the period between the l a t e twen t ies and the mid- la te f o r t i e s and during the early 70's. Explorat ion during the 70's was main ly f o r copper and explorat ion targets included porphyry and

,- volcanic-hosted showings (as found i n the Sustut Copper deposit, located 2 0 k i lometres t o the wes t of the Solo Group). A cer ta in amount of explorat ion occurred during the 803, as the pr ice of gold rose, and o ld showings were reacquired and ma jo r companies reanal ysed samples taken i n the 70's f o r gold. It i s thought that very l i t t l e regional reconnaissance explorat ion has taken place since the mid-70"s.

Immediately southeast of the c la ims, the As- 1 c l a im (8 i n f igure 5 ) i s underlain by quartz-carbonate a1 tera t ion zone cut by massive quartz veins (Assessment repor t 13,697). Here, a 250 x 450 me te r so i l zone wi th anomalous gold, as w e l l as a greater than 200 ppb gold i n ta lus f ines over 400 meters i s reported. The north-east trending creek t ha t i s proximal t o these zones was named Mariposite Creek by the reports authors (Meyers and Smi t)

The Ginger B (2 i n f igure 5) i s underlain by br ight red ond yel low b l u f f s f o r 3 k i lometres south of the r idge noted by "2". Th i s i s an oxidised shear zone (White, 1947), w e l l mineral ized w i t h fine-grained pyr i te. A1 though samples taken by White o f the py r i t i zed shear zone d id not run gold, samples f r om th i n veins w i t h i n the shear assayed t o 2 opt. The shear appears t o t rend northwest , dipping 65 degrees t o the northeast (White, 1947).

The Independence (3, f igure 5) consists of t w o quartz veins w i t h abundant quartz f l oa t w i t h m inor gold (White, 1947).-

The Banjo (4, f igure 5) i s a southeast extension of the a1 tered shear zone noted on the Ginger B, (White, 1947).

The She1 (5, f igure 5) comprises a var ie ty o f showings tha t include, a), a se t of composite quartz veins out l in ing a "horsetai l s t ruc tu re made up of several nor thwest trending, enechelon shear zones w i t h gold noted t o 0.47 opt (White, 19471, b) pyri te, chalcopyri te w i t h gold and ery ther i te (cobal t bloom), (Roots, 1954). Roots notes tha t cobalt b loom has been noted elsewhere i n the area. c) stratabound, magnet i te bands w i t h i n the Takla volcanics, traceable f o r 500 meters and t o 5 meters wid th . Th is area has been invest igated f o r porphyry copper potent ia l by Teck and Getty Resources (assessment reports 10,730 and 10,924).

Page 16: GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SAMPLING OF VEIN SYSTEMS SOLO …

The Soup Group (6, f igure 5) i s underlain by gold-bearing magnetite skarns (assessment reports 10,743 and 16,655). Quartz-sericite-pyri t e a1 tered t u f f s end shear zones cross the property. Stibni t e has been noted.

The Croydon Mine (7, f igure 5) i s underlain by a steep shear zone, ranging f rom a few inches t o 30 feet width, w i t h i n which occur a gridwork of quartz lenses. Gold occurs w i t h py r i te and chalcopyrite.

Within the area outlined, large veins of wh i te bul l quartz are common. These seldom1 y contain s igni f icant gold values.

The area between the Solo Group and the Croydon Mine i s underlain by a set of northwesterly trending shear zones, loca l ly py r i t i c and ser ic i t e a1 tered, containing signi f icant ly anomalous gold-bearing zones. Precious metal deposits and occurrences appear t o be genetically related to the Solo Group mineral izat ion fo rm a northwest trending be1 t tha t extends f rom Kl iyu l and Crodyon Creek, 30 ki lometers t o the southeast (figure 5). I t s extension t o the northwest i s speculative.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The Solo 1 t o 4 mineral c la ims are underlain by volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks tha t represents the components of an Upper Triassic, subaqueous volcanic-intrusive event that hosts gold-bearing quartz veins and stockworks (f igures 7 and 9). The volcanic and sedimentary rocks are part o f the Takla Group, and the intrusive rocks are interpreted to be coeval, genetically related feeder systems t o the Takla Group volctlnics. The geologic set t ing i s outl ined i n f igure 7.

Cutt ing the s t ra t i f i ed and intrusive rocks are a set o f shear zones that range f rom cataclast ic mylonites, through ch lor i t ic and ser ic i t i c phyl loni t ic augen schists, t o b r i t t l e faults, gash veins and jo in ts that host the quartz vein systems, some of which contain gold.in both economic grades and w i t h good cont inui ty over greater than 100 meters (&-vein).

Strat i f ied Rocks

The volcanic rocks include mainly feldspar, augi t e and/or hornblende phyric andesites and basalts metamorphosed regionally t o greenstone volcanics. The volcanics range f rom fine-grained green t o greyish green t u f f s and l ap i l l i t u f f s t o massive f ine ly porphyr i t ic un i ts tha t may be ei ther f l ows o r s i l ls . Many of the rocks are f ine breccias, seen only on good weathered surfaces. The sedimentary rocks include main1 y volcaniclasi t i c s i l tstones and sandstones w i t h local ly abundant g r i t t y arg i l l i te . These rocks have been strongly baked i n prox imi ty t o the intrusion, where they are hornblende hornfelses.

Along the north-east contact area are loca l zones comprised o f mixed melanocrat ic t o leucocrat ic d ior i t es and m igmat i te zones r i c h in rounded ghost- l i ke fragments o f dark, f ine-grained d io r i t e i n even-grained quartz d io r i te. Inclusions o f hornf elsed volcanics are common throughout the in t rus ion where investigated. Contacts w i t h the volcanics and sediments are usual ly sharp. The north-east contact appears t o be, i n part, sheared. Dykes o f d io r i te are present i n the volcanics and sediments. A d is t i nc t i ve rock type, hornblendite occurs i n a number o f locations. South o f the legal corner post, i r regu lar dyke-l i ke zones o f hornblendi t e are associated w i t h d i o r i t i c bodies in t rus ive i n t o hornfelsed volcanics and sediments. Wi th in t h i s area, i r regu lar and astarnosing patches o f dark and l i g h t colored d io r i t i zed hornf elsed volcanics and sediments were noted. Hornblendi t e was noted in the mixed in t rus ives i n the north-east pa r t o f the int rusion. A dyke o f hornblendi t e was noted cu t t i ng hornfelsed sediments south o f Solo Lake.

Structure

The rocks underlain by the Solo c la ims have been deformed mainly by fau l t i ng and f ractur ing. A l l the minera l iza t ion noted on the c la ims appears t o be structural1 y contro l led and are associated d i r ec t l y w i t h shear zones and large tension-gash features t ha t are in terpre ted t o resu l t o f movement along the shear zones ( f igure 7).

Faul t zones have been noted both adjacent t o the north-east and the south-east contact zones o f the intrusion. T w o l inear features tha t t ransect the north-east pa r t of the c la ims area are shear zones. Local ly along these s t ruc tures are zones o f sheared and myloni t i c rocks. Under1 y ing the north-east corner of the Solo 4 c l a im are a ser ies of west-north-west trending shear zones. These are one t o 5 me te r w ide zones o f ch lo r i te sch is t ( locel l y se r i c i t i c ) and ankeri t i c carbonate that t rend 090° t o 1 20°- These ch lo r i te sch is ts are more proper1 y termed phyl loni tes as they are res t i c ted t o narrow, de f in i t i ve zones tha t def ine zones o f shearing.

r . Quartz Veins and Joints

Quartz veins f o r m a mos t obvious s t ruc ture array trending mainly north-west t o northerly, with a lesser easter ly component. Quartz veins occur w i t h i n the main shear zones as i r regu lar pods and lenses and tend t o be discontinous. The ma in system o f quartz veins (A t o K) are found w i t h i n the in t rus ive rocks, a t o r near i t s contacts. They f o rm a set o f elongate lenses up t o 400 mete rs length and t o 10 meters width. They vary i n t h e i r gold tenor (discussed below). Local1 y they show ev idmce o f shearing along t he i r contacts, but i s usual ly poorly developed t o not evident. They appear t o be the r esu l t o f the development o f tension gashes developed as the r esu l t o f s t r i ke-s l ip movement along the myloni t i c and phyl loni t i c shear zones. The shear zones tha t cross the Solo Group are pa r t o f a regional shear system tha t probably extends t o the south-east f o r some 30 k i 1 ome t ers.

A11 the rocks on the Solo Claims are strongly jointed. Jo in t ing appears t o be a l l post mineral izat ion.

MINERALIZATION AND ALTERATION

Mineral izat ion on the Solo Group mineral c la ims consists of gold and s i l ve r associated w i t h m inor py r i t e in quartz veins and stockworks. Local1 y galena and sphaleri t e are associated w i t h the precious metal. V is ib le gold has been noted, par t icu lar ly i n the 'A-vein, and the gold appears t o be f ree-mi l l ing. Most gold / s i l ve r ra t ios are 1 / 1, w i t h a range t o gold/s i lver o f 3/ 1 t o 114. The d is t r i bu t ion and sketches o f individual vein systems are out l ined i n f igure 9 and sample locat ions f o r the 1990 program shown in f i gu re 8. Quartz veins are common on the claims, a t least t w o dozen have been noted by various investigators. They a l l appear t o be re la ted t o shear zones and t o tension gashes whose or ienta t ion can be re la ted t o openings created by t ranscurrent movement along the shear zones ( f igure 7b). Veins are found both w i t h i n the intrusion, i n shear zones i n the hornfelsed volcanics and sediments, and i n f rac tures i n the volcanics. The mos t s ign i f icant veins, a t present, are found w i t h i n the stock and i n shears adjacent i t s margin, par t icu lar ly t o the southeast. Veins range f r o m sheeted to, r us t y weathering t o massive w h i t e quartz.

Al terat ion re la ted t o the veins i s minimal. The vein development appears t o be related t o the l a te stage, cooling events related t o the emplacement o f the Goldway d ior i t ic-quartz d ior i t i c stock and associated fau l t movements. The a1 terat ion adjacent veins and w i t h i n shears includes ser ic i te, ch lor i te and ankeri te. L i t t l e o r no gold values have been noted i n the adjacent w a l l rock.

The veins range f r om isolated, lent icu lar t o i r regular pods w i t h i n phylloni t e zones t o elongate, individual lenses that may be traced f o r up t o 400 meters s t r i ke length, and swe l l t o up t o 10 meters w i d t h and pinch out t o minor str ingers. The vein systems can be divided i n to three main groupings.

The most important (at present) occur as an enechelonset of gash veins tha t are restr ic ted, i n the main, t o the eastern par t o f the stock. These include the A, 8, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K veins ( f igure 9) that are traceable over a s t r i ke length o f 2.5 ki lometers. O f these, the A-vein has received most o f the a t tent ion since 1947 as i t contains s igni f icant gold assays over a s t r i ke length o f some 100 meters. Good gold assays have been obtained f r om channel samples f rom the C-vein, and anomalous gold f r om grab samples i n the F, G, I, J and K-veins. The best values are f rom veins tha t contain disseminated py r i t e +/- galena and sphaleri t e through-out t he i r strike-length. These are commonly sheeted. Most of the veins (8, D, E, F, G, H, I and J) comprise mainly of wh i te bu l l quartz w i t h local pods of py r i t e and rust . Pure wh i te quartz does not appear t o carry anomalous values o f precious metals.

A series o f veins and pods o f quartz were notedsouth o f the headwaters of Goldway Creek. These are mainly massive, white, bul l quartz w i t h very l i t t l e associated sulphides found w i t h i n the chlor i te phylloni t e shear zones. One vein i n part icular (P.S.-vein), 2 0 0 meters southeast of the legal corner post contained signi f icant gold and s i lver i n association w i t h galena and sphalerite.

Stockworks are found a t the foo t of the glacier south o f Solo Lake and a t the H-vein. These structures do not appear t o be s ign i f icant precious metal hosts.

A-VEIN

The A-vein i s the most significant and obviously mineralized vein on the property. It was discovered i n 1946 and has been the main focus of activity on the claims. It has been sampled by White ( 19471, Campbell ( 19471, Pawliuk ( 19851 and during this investigation. Sample locations and gold values from these surveys are shown i n diagram I3 i n figure 9. The location of the pre- 1990 sampling i s shown on the right side of the diagram and represents the best-fit for these samples compared to the present work. The values shown confirm clearly the consi tency of gold minerlization in this vein. The vein strikes north t o northwest, and dips steeply t o the west. It varies in width from a few centimeters to one meter where exposed. It i s traceable along strike for about 100 plus meters and vertically for about 100 meters. It appears to pinch out to the north, at higher elevations near the ridge crest, and disappears under overburden and talus at lower elevations, where i t attains i t s greatest width. Free gold has been noted i n at least three locations. Gold values to 2 opt have been noted (figure 9). Best gold values appear to be found i n the hanging wall portions of the vein, i n association wi th galena and pyrite.

Campbell ( 1 973) from his work in 1947 summarized three zones on the A-vein as follows:

-upper zone: 0.29 oz. Ad ton across 2.1 feet for 180 feet of horizontal length over 140 foot vertical interval,

-middle zone: 0.94 oz. Au/ton across 2.3 feet for a length of 80 feet., and

-a lower zone: 0.88 oz. Au/ton across 2 feet for a length of 50 feet

The B-vein (I3 i n figure 9) consists of an elongate lense of quartz, striking mainly northwest for about 150 meters, that attains a width of up to 10 meters at i t s thickest, and pinches out along i t s strike i n both directions. It i s comprised mainly of milky white to translucent quartz wi th l i t t l e or no visible sulphides. It i s traceable to the ridge crest, where i t i s of stringer width. No significant gold values have been obtained from this vein.

C-VEIN

The C-vein (C and D i n figure 9) i s traceable for up to 40 meters, and averages 45 centimeters wide. It contains visible gold and assay values to 1 ozltonne. It pinches out at both ends.

Page 21: GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SAMPLING OF VEIN SYSTEMS SOLO …

D-VEIN

The D-vein (D i n figure 9) i s traceable for i n excess of 200 meters, ranging in width from less than one meter to greater than 3 meters width.

5 .- It occurs as a series of enechelon lenses striking about 140170 north.

c Gold values are spotty, with up to 0.26 opt noted by White.

&

E-VEI N

The E-vein (D in figure 9) i s traceable as a set on enechelon quartz lenses ranging in width from a few centimeters up to one meter, generally t o 60 centimeters. No significant precious metal values have been noted from this vein.

The A t o E-veins represent the original zones of mineralization discovered in the Goldway Peak area in 1946.

F-VEIN

The F-vein i s reported by Pawliuk (1 98S), see diagram E i n figure 9. It consist of a white quartz vein traceable f o r 400 meters above the southwest shore of Solo Lake. Sampling by Pawliuk ( 1985) and von Rosen (1988) showed only few anomalous gold values, to 0.12 opt across 0.32 meters. The vein contains very l i t t le sulphides.

G-VEIN

The G-vein consists of an quartz vein, t o 2 meters width, traceable for up to 100 meters cutting both the intrusive and hornfelsed volcanics. I ts exposure i s irregular, and trends north-northwest a1 though splays appear to be present. Three grab samples from this vein gave low gold values. Pyrite i s irregular i n this vein.

H-VEIN

The H-vein i s not a vein, but represents a north-trending quartz stockwork system cutting both intrusives and hornfels. The quartz i s white and milky with l i t t l e or no other sulphides common. A grab of 620 ppb (parts per billion, nb: 1 gram/tonne= 1000 ppb= 0.29 oz1ton) from the south end of this zone suggests the presence of anomalous gold.

Page 22: GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SAMPLING OF VEIN SYSTEMS SOLO …

I-VEIN

The I-vein s t r i kes north-northwest, dips steeply west, and at ta ins a thickness of up t o 2 meters, traceable f o r greater than 100 meters. It i s composed mainly of m i l ky wh i te bu l l quartz, local ly w i t h minor vugs of quartz crystals. In local patches the vein weathers rusty f rom the presence of pyri te. Four grab samples f rom these rusty zones gave highly anomalous gold t o 0.470 opt. Other portions of the vein were not sampled.

J-VEIN

This vein was not sampled directly. A col lect ion of f loa t samples whose source i s v is ib ly t h i s vein gave a value of 700 ppb gold. This vein appears s im i l a r t o the i-vein and i s in te rmi t ten t l y rusty.

K-VEIN

The K-vein i s represented by t w o quartz pods located on an isolated outcrop below the c l i f f s containing the J-vein. It has been previously sampled as i s evident f r om t w o blast-pi t trenches found on the veins. The veins are composed of white, milky quartz wi th locally abundant pyri te. The veins are traceable f o r 10 meters before being los t i n the overburden. Two grabs gave a value of up t o 0.136 opt gold.

The A- t o K-veins comprise a north-trending sui te of enechelon gash veins found i n the intrusives. The fol lowing veins and vein systems are l i ke ly par t o f t h i s system but require follow-up i n order t o determine the i r signif icance and sett ing.

L-VEINS

In a cirque basin, nor th of Goldway Creek and west of the D- and E-veins, s ix samples o f proximal quartz veins were sampled. It i s apparent that these were derived f rom veins immediate1 y up-slope f rom the talus. Widths are not known, although values t o 50 cm were quoted. Gold values t o 0.1 13 opt were obtained, and 5 of the 6 samples contained anomalous go1 d.

Page 23: GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SAMPLING OF VEIN SYSTEMS SOLO …

C I

Along the talus, south of Goldway Creek, numerous samples of k proximal quartz veins were noted. Anomalous gold values to 0.333 opt

F were collected from the west end of this talus slope. Galena, pyrite and chalcopyrite were noted wi th the quartz. These samples (PS 103- 105)

, contain the highest silver values on the claims, wi th values of 690, 425

C- and 196 ppm noted (up to 20 ozlton silver). A1 though not found i n place, slabs of quartz to 30 cm width were encountered.

Within the chlori te-ankeri te shear zones south of the head waters of Goldway Creek, quartz veins and pods are common, some to 2 meters width, but wi th l i t t l e continuity i n strike. Few showed the presence of minor galena and sphaleri te and l i t t l e gold of any significance. These veins were noted by Pawliuk ( 1 985).

PS-VEIN

This vein i s poorly exposed i n a rubble f i l led minor northwest trending gulley. Where noted, the vein consists of banded white quartz containing pyrite and galena. Two grab samples gave gold values of 0.6 16 and 0.127 opt and to 3.5 opt silver. The south contact of this structure comprises chlorite and sericite altered rock wi th quartz stockworks. A grab from this zone gave no significant precious metal values.

This vein consists of a single sample i n talus (Pawliuk, 19851, located above the F-~eins (diagram E i n figure 9). It consists of 0.39 opt gold over 46 centimeters. The extent of this vein isanknown.

GLACIER ZONE

Along the northern edge of a pocket glacies along the border of the Solo 1 and 2 claims, a rusty zone of hornfelsed sediments i s cut by quartz stockworks. Sampling by von Rosen ( 1986) showed the zone to contain weak1 y anomalous gold wi th a maximum value to 0.072 opt over 3 meters. This zone was extensive1 y sampled by von Rosen to test the potential for bulk tonnage gold. This potential does not appear to exsist at this location

Page 24: GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SAMPLING OF VEIN SYSTEMS SOLO …

MARIPOSITE CREEK ZONE

On the southeast part of the Solo 2 claims, BP Minerals i n 1985 outl ined a broad zone underlain by quartz carbonate e l teration, and mention the presence of the chrome mica mariposi t e associated w i t h shear zones i n t h i s area. No anomalous gold was reported, and present investigations of quartz veins i n th is area gave s im i l a r resu l ts

FLOAT SAMPLES

Two locations of f loa t contained signi f icant gold values. A t the toe of the glacier a t the head of Goldway Creek, a f loa t sample of quartz contained 1-92 opt gold. This sample was not noted i n place but i s very l ike1 y t o be f rom under the pocket glacier. Other samples on the morraine were weak1 y anomalous i n gold w i t h values of 60 t o 240 ppb f o r s ix samples. Gold i n quartz f loa t t o 1,700 ppb was noted east of Solo Lake.

The northern and the southwestern par ts o f the c la ims have not been investigated. A l l these showings outl ined above are believed t o be part of a much larger system o f mineral ization than noted on the claims. Gold i s know t o occur throughout t h i s system, traceable f o r over 3 0 ki lometers.

RECOHHEIU DATl ONS AND CONCLUSIOHS

The Solo Group i s underlain by a set o f quartz veins associated w i t h shear zones and tension gashes arranged i n a norther1 y trending en eche?/rm manner. Gold and s i l ve r values are variabley distr ibuted in these veins, and range f rom veins w i t h good grade values (greater than 0.25 opt) and continuity across 100 meters t o veins w i t h spotty values. Gold appears t o be associated w i t h mainly py r i te and t o a lesser extent, galena, i n the quartz, w i t h l o w values i n both pure mi lky quartz and i n the w a l l rocks.

The best known vein i s the A-vein. This vein i s traceable f a r up t o 100 meters on s t r i ke and at ta ins a thickness t o one meter. It pinches out t o the north, a t higher elevations. The vein i s open t o the south where i t appears t o be increasing i n width. Here, the vein i s covered by col luvium which grades i n to talus.

The other o f the original discovery veins, 8, C, D, and E do not appear t o have much immediate potential. The values obtained f rom the C-vein are of significance, but the vein i s of very short length and awkward t o tes t by d r i l l i ng f o r i t s potential.

Page 25: GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SAMPLING OF VEIN SYSTEMS SOLO …

Other veins noted on the property m e r i t fol low-up as they contained signi f icant precious meta l values. These are the PS-vein, the M-veins, the 7473-vein and the G- t o K-veins. These contain s ign i f icant anomalous gold. It i s not yet known the consistency of the presence o f precious metal i n a l l o f these, and i n some (PS-vein and 7473-vein), t he i r size i s unknown.

Unlocated, yet proximal, f l oa t of importance was found. A sample w i t h 66.2 ppm ( 1.92 opt) gold on the morraine a t the head o f Goldway Creek was noted. Float i n the morraine contains common ser i c i t e schist w i t h quartz str ingers and pyri te. Three samples containing anomalous gold ( to 1.7 gram/tonne) were noted east of Solo Lake. The signif icance of these i s unknown.

Recommended fo l l ow up on the property should include:

-Determination of the signif icance of the new gold-bearing anomalies, whether vein o r f l oa t t o enlarge the known gold-bearing areas, and t o determine the potent ia l s t r i ke length of the new showings.

-Short hole diamond d r i l l tes t ing of the southward extension of the A-vein t o determine potent ia l continuity a t depth and along str ike, southward. Dependent upon the findings on the new showings, short hole diamond d r i l l test ing i s recommended.

-Close spaced, VLF-EM survey across the southern extension of the A-vein t o determine i f t h i s structrue i s traceable below the col luvium and the talus.

-Investigation o f the regional structure tha t controls the mineral izat ion on the Solo Group.
