The city of Merritt lies about 30 kilometres to the south-southwest and the city of Kamloops is about 40 kilometres to the north-northeast. </B></div> <div> <B>Access to the property is via the four-lane Coquihalla Highway Connector, which connects Merritt to Kamloops. </B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="125630730.jpg" border=0 width="560" height="371" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Helmer Lake exit is about 23 kilometres north of Merritt, providing access to either side of the highway. Numerous gravel-surfaced logging roads provide excellent access to most parts of the property from this exit. </B></div> <div> <B>A logging road from the Helmer Lake exit provides access to the area immediately west of the highway, where the bulk of Gitennes’ exploration work was done. The showing is roughly seven kilometres north along this western road.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1236ddd90.jpg" border=0 width="477" height="217" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>HELMER LAKE ~ </B><B>EXIT 315</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#996600" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>LOCAL RESOURCES</B></div> <div> <B>Three power lines cross the property. A three-phase line for the provincial power grid passes diagonally across the northern property boundary. A smaller three-phase line crosses the property at the Helmer Lake exit. This line provides power to the mines at Logan Lake.  A third single-phase line runs north from Nicola Lake along the Coquihalla Highway, providing power for the lights at the Helmer Lake exit.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>PHYSIOGRAPHY</B></div> <div> <B>The property covers fairly gentle rolling terrain and the hills are generally rounded. In general relief is subdued. Local creeks do not cut steepsided valleys. Swamps are common along the larger stream drainage's. The local drainage pattern is strongly influenced by north-northwest to south-southeast-oriented Pleistocene glacial features. </B><B>The Blacktop Showing is at an elevation of approximately 1,410 metres above sea level.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>BLACKTOP FOX PROPERTY</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1341eef70.jpg" border=0 width="750" height="247" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>ABOUT 60% OF THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN CLEAR CUT LOGGED RECENTLY, DUE TO THE  MOUNTAIN PINE BEETLE </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>HISTORY</B></div> <div> <B>Most of the exploration in the area has been directed at a number of Cu and Pb-Zn showings in the Swakum Mountain area and nearby Cu-Mo-Wo Skarns. Mineralization was discovered in the 1970's on the south shores of Rey</B></div> <div> <B>Lake, hosted by a quartz monzonite intrusive. </B></div> <div> <B>Pb-Zn vein mineralization hosted by Nicola volcanics on the west shore of Helmer Lake was trenched during this same era. These </B><B>Pb-Zn </B><B>showings are now covered by the new Blacktop Fox property. They could be interpreted to be feeder veins to a VMS deposit.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>PREVIOUS PROPERTY WORK</B></div> <div> <B>Gitennes Exploration Inc., commissioned a 475 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey. The survey outlined a linear magnetic low straddling the Coquihalla Connector over a length of at least 1,350 metres. </B></div> <div> <B>The Blacktop Showing occurs within this low. Several other EM targets have yet to be tested.  These targets are in proximity to several drainages that have very high zinc in silt samples. One of these untested targets has zinc greater than 1000 ppm in silt.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Surface exploration on the property comprised geological mapping and evaluation of existing geological data, hand trenching on the Blacktop Showing, ground geophysics (magnetics IP, HLEM), and geochemical sampling (silt, MMI, and C -horizon soil). Reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting and silt sampling were conducted along the numerous logging roads to aid in evaluating the Fox property. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Highway Grid was established over the Blacktop showing area, with 50-metre spaced lines to control the geochemical MMI soil and geophysical surveys.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1253a4610.jpg" border=0 width="420" height="353" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>REGIONAL GEOLOGY  </B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>(Moore and Pettipas, 1990),</B></FONT></div> <div> <B>Whose work represents the only detailed mapping that includes portions of the Fox Property. </B><B>The area lies in the Intermontane Belt and is part of Quesnellia, except at the easternmost end where it is juxtaposed against high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Omineca Belt along the Okanagan shear zone. The western part is underlain primarily by Late Triassic arc-volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sedimentary facies of the Nicola Group, intruded by large Triassic-Jurassic plutons, among which the Guichon Creek batholith (McMillan, 1976, 1978) bounds the western end of the transect segment studied. </B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="12506f7b0.jpg" border=0 width="367" height="379" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Nicola Group rocks have been intruded by Triassic and Jurassic plutons, of which the Guichon Creek batholith</B></div> <div> <B>(McMillan, 1976, 1978) is the largest and most important from the metallogenic standpoint. The stratified rocks are complexly faulted and regionally metamorphosed, typically to lower greenschist facies.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>PROPERTY GEOLOGY</B></div> <div> <B>The property is underlain by the western facies of the Late Triassic - Early Jurassic Nicola Group (Preto, 1979).</B></div> <div> <B>This facies consists of calcalkaline volcanic rocks and lesser epiclastic rocks, and is remarkable for the appearance of intermediate to felsic volcanic centres, such as that found at Iron Mountain. Mafic to intermediate Nicola volcanic rocks have fine-grained aphanitic matrices with abundant chlorite + epidote + calcite, commonly as fracture and vein fillings and less commonly as replacements of phenocrysts, matrix or clasts. Colour is usually dark green or dark purple.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The north-trending Clapperton Creek valley is thought to mark the trace of a major fault. It separates deformed Triassic to Upper Paleozoic amphibolite-rank volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks of the Nicola Horst structural domain in the east from weakly foliated, greenschist-rank volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Nicola Group western facies to the west.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>BLACKTOP</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="124b7a160.jpg" border=0 width="378" height="278" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>MASSIVE SULPHIDES IN OUTCROP</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>BLACKTOP SHOWING GEOLOGY</B></div> <div> <B>The volcanic stratigraphy hosting the Blacktop Showing is separated into three major rock units, each one having distinctive structural and rock type features. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>From west to east, these are:</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Unit 3</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Arial" ><B>: </B></FONT></div> <div> <B>C</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Arial,Italic" ><B>oarse volcaniclastic hangingwall: </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>The hangingwall comprises a heterogeneous mix of Nicola Group lithologies.

It is highly disrupted by a north trending, west-dipping fault named the Blacktop Fault. The fault cuts through the top of Unit 2 at a very oblique angle. The fault itself is readily recognized in core as it is a chaotic mix of hematitic and sericitic gouge and rock fragments with or without pieces of massive sulphide mineralization.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Unit 1</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Arial" ><B>: </B></FONT></div> <div> <B>Fine-grained mafic volcanic footwall</B> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>comprising weakly foliated mafic tuff and waterlain tuff, interbedded with tuffaceous siltstone and wacke.</B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>MINERALIZATION</B></div> <div> <B>The Blacktop Showing exposes a minimum width of 1 to 1.5 metres of massive sulphide mineralization, with a hanging wall of siliceous volcanic or chert, barite and disseminated sulphides.

A chip sample returned a 1.0-metre interval with 2.31% Zn, 0.18% Pb, 0.19% Cu, 16.2 g/tonne Ag and 0.27 g/tonne Au.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Blacktop Showing was the only zone on the property with a sufficiently advanced exploration target to warrant drilling at the time. The objective of the drill program was to drill test the high-grade Zn-Cu mineralization and its geochemical and geophysical trace down-dip to the west and along a 500-metre strike-length.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Eight holes totaling 1,234.7 metres were drilled from five sites along a 500-metre north-south strike length of the Blacktop Showing. All holes were collared west of the Blacktop Showing, at azimuth 092E and dips ranging from -45E to -85E.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1350af5a0.jpg" border=0 width="687" height="346" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>The Blacktop reverse fault is marked by a major zone of hematitic </B></div> <div> <B>clay gouge that occurs immediately below the hangingwall contact.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSIONS</B></div> <div> <B>The drill program met its objective of testing the Blacktop Showing and its geochemical and geophysical trace both down-dip and along a 500 metre north-south strike. Mineralization similar to that exposed at the Blacktop Showing was intersected in F01-02. Adjacent holes F01-01, -03, -04, -05 & -08 intersected geochemically anomalous hematitic-sericitic fault gouge at the projection of the mineralized interval. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Unfortunately, movement of the Blacktop Fault has disrupted the massive sulphide mineralization. Nonetheless, the intensity of the alteration of Unit 2 rocks indicates that a strong hydrothermal alteration system was set up, and that additional discoveries of sulphide mineralization remain to be made. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Future exploration must focus upon the nature and extent of the</B></div> <div> <B>Blacktop Fault and locate targets either beyond its influence or where it will not have sliced-through the known mineralized (Blacktop Showing) horizon.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1249e9e30.jpg" border=0 width="489" height="483" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Geophysical EM and IP survey results can be now be reinterpreted by what was seen in drill core. Conductive zones and differences in resistivity are likely explained by the hanging wall contact, hematitic fault gouge, massive sulphide horizon, the footwall pyritic schist/phyllites and the contrasting physical properties of the different geological units.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Similarly, geochemically anomalous results may now be interpreted as the response from a large mineralized fault and</B></div> <div> <B>the underlying veined and altered felsic to intermediate deformed volcanic footwall sequence.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Nicola volcanic rocks both north and south of the drill area remain highly prospective for the discovery of other massive</B></div> <div> <B>sulphide mineralization. In particular, the rocks north of the Highway Grid that are not affected by the Blacktop Fault are considered to be a high priority for exploration. </B></div> <div> <B>Another possibility is a possible intrusive/volcanic centre that may be expressed in some of the hydrothermal breccias and coarse volcanic units seen in hole F01-07.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>RECOMMENDATIONS</B></div> <div> <B>A continued, integrated approach to exploration at the Fox Property is recommended, utilizing similar geological,</B></div> <div> <B>geophysical and geochemical methods as those employed to date. The 2001 drill program, though not successful in finding a massive sulphide deposit, did establish that a prospective VMS environment exists at the Blacktop Showing. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Detailed mapping of the Highway Grid and the strike extents of the favourable horizon is necessary. Using this geologic knowledge and the drill core, a reinterpretation of the ground geophysics and geochemistry is in order.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Grid controlled MMI geochemical sampling, magnetic and VLF geophysical surveys accompanied by prospecting and geology have proven to be successful methods. This work should be expanded in scope to other areas of the property, to be followed by more detailed surveys such as IP, MAXMIN or other electromagnetic techniques, and if warranted, drilling.  Further targets have already been delineated that warrant further exploration. These targets fall within areas that are now completely clear cut logged. </B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="135100a60.jpg" border=0 width="512" height="422" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="134a7fa50.jpg" border=0 width="383" height="421" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>SOME OF THE MANY CLEAR-CUT AREAS ON THE BLACKTOP - FOX PROPERTY</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Aspen Planers Ltd., a company located in Merritt, has timber rights that include the Fox Property.
