SUMMARY

(1) The Ron property consists of two contiguous claims totalling I 30 metric units (750 hectares). The claims are located 40

km west of the city of Vernon in south-central British Columbia.

Ir ( 2 ) The region first received attention in the late 1800's with

the discovery of placer gold in several creeks east of the Ron claims. Work by Huntington Resources Inc. on the Brett - property, located 13 km to the east has resulted in the discovery of epithermal gold/silver occurrences. The Ron claim area has no record of previous work or any documented

I mineral occurrences. Acquisition of the Ron property was prompted by gold anomalies encountered as the result of a regional sampling program carried out in April/May 1986.

I*. ( 3 ) The Ron property area is underlain by metavolcanic and

metasedimentary rocks of the Paleozoic Chapperon Group. Intruding these rocks is a large serpentinized ultramafic

I intrusion of pre-Permian age. Granitic intrusions cut the Chapperon rocks near the Ron property and may be represented on the property by several felsic dykes. Overlying all

C other lithologies are flat lying basaltic volcanics of the Tertiary Kamloops Group.

(I

( 4 ) Geochemical sampling from earlier programs revealed anomalous gold values near the headwaters of a small drainage. Soil sampling carried out in late 1957 revealed anomalous gold values in the same headwater

.- area. These values combined with the diverse geological setting indicate that further exploration potential exists on the Ron claims.

INTRODUCTION

This report describes the most recent exploration program carried out on the Ron claims, owned by Huntington Resources Inc. The purpose of this program was to investigate anomalous gold values indicated from stream and rock sampling carried out in 1986. The exploration work was carried out under the supervision of the writer and is presented in this report and appended maps.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The Ron claims are located in south-central British Columbia approximately 40 kilometers west of the city of Vernon (see fig. 28-11. The approximate geographic centre of the claim block is at 50 deg. 14.5' north latitude and 119 deg. 50.5' west longitude on M.T.S. Map No. 82L/4W.

The property is accessible from Vernon by traveling via Highway #97 toward Kamloops and turning southerly onto Westside Road shortly beyond the O'Keefe Ranch. Travel is thence along the west side of Okanagan Lake for approximately 20 km to a logging road that leads into the upper reaches of Chapperon Creek along which the Ron claims are situated. Total driving distance from Vernon is approximately 75 kilometers.

A good grade logging road transects much of the property allowing easy access especially in the southern half of the claim block (see fig. 28-21.

PHYSIOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION

The property is situated along the south facing slope of the broad east-west trending valley of Chapperon Creek. Slopes are in general moderate with no steep or difficult terrain. Two year-round creeks transect the eastern two thirds of the property. Topographic elevations range from 1340 meters (4400'1 at the Legal Corner Post (L.C.P.) to 1740 meters (5700') along the northeastern border of the claims.

The majority of the property is forested with well spaced to dense stands of fir, pine and spruce with interspersed deciduous growth. Significant portions of the southern part of the property have been clear cut logged. Overburden depth is considered shallow with thickness generally less than 3-5 meters.

PROPERTY

The Ron property consists of two contiguous Modified Grid System claims comprising a total of 30 units (750 hectares). Details of the claims are as follows:

Claim Name Tag No. Record No. No of Units Expiry Date * Ron $1 89831 1695 20 June 26, 1990 Ron # 2 89830 1696 10 June 26, 1990

The registered owner of the Ron claims is Huntington Resources Inc. of Vancouver, B.C.

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

Records dating to the turn of the century indicate that placer gold was recovered from several drainages east of the Ron claim area (i.e. Whiteman, Bouleau, and Nashwhito Creeks). Recent work by Huntington Inc. on the Brett claims, located 13 kilometers to the east has revealed epithermal gold/silver mineralization in Tertiary volcanic rocks. Exploration for "porphyry type" copper/molybdenum mineralization during the 1960's and 1970's resulted in the discovery of several mineral occurrences associated with granitic intrusives east of the Ron claims.

During September, 1986 Huntington Resources Inc. carried out stream sediment and rock sampling in the area upstream of an anomalous gold value obtained from a regional survey. Evidence indicated the presence of further anomalous gold values in the headwater area of this drainage.

According to the revised Mineral Inventory Map (82L/SW - Jan., 1986) there are no mineral occurrences indicated on the Ron claims.

Page 10: GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL REPORT

GEOLOGY

According to the Geological Survey of Canada (A.J Jones; Memoir 296) the Ron claims are underlain by a. thick assemblage of rocks referred to as the Chapperon Group. These rocks occupy a northerly trending belt approximately 50 km long and 2 to 10 km wide.

The Chapperon Group is described a sequence of meta- sedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. Specific lithologies include argillite, chlorite schist, quartzite and limestone. These rocks according to Jones closely resemble those of the Eagle Bay Formation, the upper member of the Paleozoic to Precambrian Mount Ida Group. More recent mapping by Okulitch and Campbell assigns the age of this unit as middle to upper Paleozoic. Unconformably overlying the Chapperon sequence are rocks of the Cache Creek Group of Permian age. Significant portions of the aforementioned lithologies are overlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks.

Found to intrude the Chapperon Group in many areas are ultramafic intrusions. These rocks referred to as the Old Dave Intrusions are of pre-Permian age.

Also intruding the rocks of the Chapperon Group are granitic rocks of Mesozoic to Tertiary age.

LOCAL GEOLOGY

On a local scale, the geology of Ron claims consists of three main rock types. The oldest rocks represented are those belonging to the Chapperon Group. Covering approximately 80% of the property, these rocks are comprised of both metasediments and metavolcanics.

The metasedimentary rocks consist primarily of impure quartzites, quartz-biotite schists, dark gray to black graphitic phyllites (argillites) and impure crystalline limestone. The limestone appears to be the least abundant representative, being found as thin beds intercalated with other metasediments and metavolcanics. Found in several road cuts were exposures of a dark gray to black, crumbly, often graphitic argillite. The most common metasedimentary rock appears to be highly siliceous, banded looking rock likely representing an impure quartzite. Schistose textures are often evident due to the presence of biotite and/or muscovite.

Intercalated with the metasediments are metavolcanic rocks comprised primarily of fine grained chloritic schistose rocks. Varying amounts of hornblende, biotite, quartz and feldspar are found within these rocks. Found in several locations west of the baseline on L-12N and L-13N (fig. no. 28-3) are outcrops of fine grained actinolite bearing schists.

Page 11: GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL REPORT

One outcrop encountered during the program conducted in late 1986 revealed clasts of gray crystalline limestone (up to 5 cm or morelin a chloritic metavolcanic. This would seem to suggest a fragmental volcanic origin. More often than not the original rock textures are partially or wholly obliterated making megascopic identification difficult.

The schistosity of the Chapperon rocks strikes from northeast to north-northeast and dips from 35 deg. to 70 deg. northwesterly. In one case a vertical inclination was observed in a chlorite schist outcrop near the end of a road at 9+75N;5+50W.

Quartz veining is locally common and when observed in outcrop tends to be quite irregular and often crosscuts the schistosity. The quartz veins are generally white, variably granular and range in width from 1 cm to locally over 0.3 meters. The bulk of this veining is likely related to metamorphism (i.e. "quartz sweats").

Located in the east-central portion of the Ron 1 claim is a large north-northeasterly trending ~iltramafic intrusive (dyke). This intrusion is likely one of the "Old Dave" intrusions of pre- Permian age. The dyke appears as a reddish-brown weathering, dark green, massive serpentinized ultramafic rock. Varying degrees of steatization (talc) are evident along with minor magnesite on fractures. Magnetism can range from virtually nil to very strong with the overall intrusion being considered quite magnetic.

The ultramafic dyke strikes to the north-northeast and is exposed over a length of approximately 600meters and for the most part forms a prominent ridge. The width ranges up to 150 meters, however, the average is 100 to 120 meters. Found in several outcrops along the eastern margin of the ultramafic intrusion is a pale to medium green, medium grained gabbroic(?) rock. This rock may represent a less mafic border phase to the main intrusion. The maximum width observed of this gabbroic unit is approximately 10 meters. The contact of this intrusion with the Chapperon rocks was not directly observed, however, Jones (Memoir 296) indicates that these intrusions dip steeply. The ultramafic intrusion appears to terminate rather abruptly to the north and south, however, this may be more of a function of topography and deepening overburden. Several outcrops of coarse mafic to ultramafic rock near the eastern end of L-14N may indicate the extension or marginal phase of this intrusion.

Page 12: GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL REPORT

Found as dykes over a considerable portion of the examined area are feldspar-hornblende porphyry dykes. These dykes generally trend north-northeasterly and dip steeply to the west. Widths of 1 to 4 meters have been observed. The abundance of such rocks in stream beds indicates that these rocks may be quite common. Several granitic intrusive bodies indicated by government mapping may be the source(s) to the dykes on the property.

Overlying the Chapperon rocks near the northern extremity of the Ron 1 claim are volcanic rocks of Tertiary age. These rocks are seen as nearly flat lying, red brown, gray to black basaltic and related pyroclastic rocks that locally form small bluffs and ridges. A small outcrop at the end of a road near 9+75N;5+00W consists of very young looking volcanics, however, its relationship to the adjacent Chapperon rocks (i.e. dyke?) and the "plateau type" volcanics to the north is uncertain.

Faulting, though not directly observed is inferred through both field observations and aerial photographic interpretation. Northwesterly to north-northwesterly trending faulting is indicated in two outcrops in the north-central portion of the Ron 1 claim. Slickensided fractures within the ultramafic intrusion also suggest fault activity in this area.

MINERALIZATION

Pyrite was observed in all rock types on the Ron property, however amounts seldom exceeded 1%. Concentrations of pyrite were generally greater in the metavolcanics as opposed to the metasediments although local variations do occur. The major exception noted is within the carbonaceous metasediments where concentrations locally exceed 2-3%.

The ultramafic dyke generally contained little or no pyrite. Magnetite is locally quite common accounting for the often strong magnetism associated with this rock. Occasionally seen within the serpentinized ultramafic are small disseminated (Clmm) grains of chromite. Several talus fragments of chromite found below a large ultramafic outcrop on L-ION suggest larger concentrations of this mineral may occur within this intrusive.

Disseminated pyrrhotite was observed in concentrations of up to 2% within feldspar-hornblende porphyry dykes and stream float. Minor chalcopyrite was encountered in a quartz-feldspar vein in angular metavolcanic float at approximately 10+50N; 0+60E.

The Tertiary volcanic rocks in the northern portions of the claim block appear to be devoid of any significant mineral- ization.

Page 13: GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL REPORT

GEOCHEMISTRY

During October, 1987 an exploration program was carried out on the Ron Claims to examine anomalous gold values encountered from an earlier survey. The results from a stream sediment and rock sampling survey conducted in late 1986 revealed anomalous gold values near the headwaters of a small creek.

The 1987 exploration program consisted of the establishment of 12.6 kilometers of chain and compass grid. Grid lines were spaced at 100 meters except for the two northernmost lines where 200 meter spacings were used. Soil sampling was carried out over this grid at 50 meter intervals. In all, a total of 206 soil, 10 silt and 7 rock samples were collected from the grid area.

Soil samples were collected from the "B" horizon usually at depths of 15 to 25 cm. Soil quality and horizon definition were generally good. Silt samples were collected when possible from the active portions of the stream bed. Both soil and silt samples were ccllected in kraft paper envelopes and labelled with the appropriate grid coordinates. Rock samples consisting of chips or grab samples were designated with an "RWR" prefix. All samples were submitted to Kamloops Research and Assay Laboratory for analysis.

Once dried, the soil and silt samples were screened to obtain a -80 mesh fraction. Rock samples were pulverized to obtain a -100 mesh fraction. Analysis of all samples was for gold only. The methodology of sample analysis was as follows:

Element/Sample Type Diqestion Determination

GOLD 20gm sample is mixed with PbO Atomic flux and fused in furnace. Absorption

(Soil, Silt, Rock) Resultant Pb button is further reduced (cupelled) in furnace to obtain Au,Ag bead. This bead is parted in dilute nitric acid to digest Ag. Addition of HCL, forming aqua reyia digests residual gold.

The results for gold are expressed in parts per billion (ppb) and are listed in Appendix A. These results are also plotted on a geochemical plan at a scale of 1:5,000 (fig. 28-41. Rock sample locations and results are presented on the geological plan (fig. 28-31.

Page 14: GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL REPORT

Of the samples collected, only four soils returned anomalous gold values ranging from 35 ppb to 190 ppb Au. The rock samples returned only background values for gold ((5 ppb). To aid in the interpretation of the results the anomalous vales for silts and panned concentrates from the 1986 program are also plotted on the geochemical plan.

From inspection of the geochemical plan it is apparent that an area of anomalous gold values is found near the headwat-ers of the two westernmost forks of the main creek on the property. It is in this area that the anomalous soil values from the 1987 program are found. Overall, there appears to be a loose clustering of anomalous soil and silt values between L-9N and L-16N and extending from the baseline to 5+00W. Interestingly, the highest gold value obtained in the soil sampling (190 ppb) is found within 50 meters of the most anomalous silt sample (RSL- 16;150 ppb) collected during the 1986 program. In addition, this same drainage returned the highest panned concentrate value (RPC- 2;0.084 oz/ton) of the 1986 program. Geological mapping in this area reveals the presence of fragmental metavolcanics, actinolite rich schists and possible carbonate rich serpentinized rocks. An inferred fault zone is also indicated in this area. For these reasons this particular area is thought to have further exploration potential.

Page 15: GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL REPORT

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The results of the 1987 program are considered moderately YI encouraging. A clustering of anomalous soils and stream sediment

samples indicates an area with the potential for hosting gold mineralization. The geological environment of the property is diverse consisting of various types of metamorphosed sediments

'I and volcanics. Intrusion of these rocks by numerous granitic dykes and a large ultramafic body as well as local faulting serves to enhance the potential for precious metal mineral-

L ization.

Further exploration within the current area of examination *I, and especially in the anomalous areas is warranted. Continued

exploration should concentrate on this area with more detailed soil and rock chip sampling and geological mapping. Geophysical examination such as magnetometer surveys may also prove useful in

v this geologically diverse area.
