The claims are accessed via a good network of logging roads approximately 31 kilometres from the Trans Canada Highway and the main branch of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.</B></div> <div> <B>The claims are located in the highly mineralized Adams Plateau region of BC.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>MOSQUITO KING  ~  GENERAL LOCATION MAP</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="861f4360.jpg" border=0 width="500" height="310" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Mosquito King claim and area has a very good network of existing logging and spur roads. The map below shows the network of access roads in the claim area. This excellent infrastructure should facilitate any future exploration in a cost effective and expeditious manor.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="854292f0.jpg" border=0 width="297" height="303" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>REGIONAL GEOLOGY</B></div> <div> <B>The area is underlain by favorable geology of the Eagle Bay Assemblage.</B></div> <div> <B>Consisting of arc and inter-arc type environments of intermediate to felsic volcanic and metamorphic equivalents, volcaniclastic grits and carbonates.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Transitional back arc units of sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks also occur in the immediate area. </B></div> <div> <B>These rock units are considered highly favorable for  VMS and Sedex types of deposits.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The claim area is underlain by the Lower Cambrian part of the Eagle Bay Formation, consisting of siliceous and graphitic phyllites, phyllitic limestone, greenschist, chlorite schists and greenstone.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The metavolcanics and metasediments generally strike northeast and dip 10 to 40 degrees north- west. The rocks are cut by Late Cretaceous or Early Tertiary quartz- feldspar porphyry and mafic dykes with northerly trends. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>PROPERTY</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The 1073 hectare, Mosquito King, Ex-Spar and-Pet Silver group is centered on substantial outcroppings and showings of base and precious metals.  </B><B>M</B><B>ineralization is mainly comprised of sulphides of silver, lead, zinc </B><B>and copper, </B><B>within metasedimentary and </B><B>metavolcanic </B><B>rocks on the north limb of the Nitwikwaia synform. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The showings occur within a dominantly metasedimentary succession of siliceous and/or graphitic phyllite, calcareous phyllite, streaky banded calc-silicate rock, limestone and quartzite. The metasediments are stratigraphically underlain by chloritic schist's and greenstone. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The mineralization occurs as layers, lenses and pods of semi- massive to massive sulphides, generally within a siliceous gangue. The dominant sulphides are pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The sulphide horizons are generally well banded and conformable to the schistosity and to the bedding. Intense deformation of the rocks has caused discontinuity and marked variability in the widths of the sulphide horizons.  </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Massive sulphide horizons have been noted to thicken in the hinge zones of both isoclinal and recumbent NE to SW plunging synmetamorphic folds. Recommendations have been suggested, that further exploration should be directed toward the linear-plunging sulphide bodies. That are localized and thickened in medium scale fold hinges.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B> </B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000033" FACE="Arial" ><B>MOSQUITO KING ~ REGIONAL GEOLOGY MAP</B></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="b52426a0.jpg" border=0 width="322" height="362" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>     </B></div> <div> <B>EBGs</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" ><B> ~ </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dark to light grey siliceous and/or graphitic phyllite, calcareous phyllite, limestone, calc-silicate, cherty quartzite, minor green chloritic phyllite and sericite-quartz phyllite.</B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Mosquito King showings occur as stringers, lenses and disseminations over an area of about 1000 by 500 metres.
