LADY PEG
REE PEGMATITE
LCT family Li-Ce-Ta
The Lady Peg project was acquired to cover very prospective geology for hosting numerous LCT pegmatite bodies that are enriched with Rare Earth Elements, Lithium, Cesium, Tantalum, Lanthanum, Rubidium & Gemstones
Numerous documented LCT type pegmatites are known to occur in the immediate area, as well as the discovery of coloured Tourmalines and Beryl’s. The Lady Peg property requires substantial prospecting, detailed geological mapping and systematic sampling to further delineate more LCT type pegmatite bodies, particularly at lower elevations under thin cover and along logging road cuts.

MYSTERY CREEK Ni
Cu-Ni-Au-Co-Ti-V
Chalcopyrite, pyrite, magnetite and possibly some sulphide nickel mineralization (Pentlandite) occur in plugs of pyroxenite (Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia 1972, page 315) which intrude "greenstones" and diorites. Trenching exposed mineralization in a southwest trending "shear zone" about 21 metres wide within a band of ultramafic rock. Preliminary chip samples in the cat trenches gave an average of about 0.22 per cent copper over 22 metres and a strike length of 30 metres. The age of the pyroxenite plugs is not known, however the dioritic rocks are probably part of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Thuya batholith. The "greenstones" are possibly part of the late Paleozoic Harper Ranch Group.

Unclassified reserves of just the Cotton Belt zone alone are just less than 1 million tonnes grading 6 per cent lead, 2 per cent zinc and 50 grams per tonne silver Resources have been estimated at 725,000 tonnes grading 11 per cent combined lead and zinc and 58.3 grams per tonne silver... That’s just over 1.6 million ounces of contained silver, in just one main zone. Three other parallel zones, one copper rich zone, open along strike and down dip. Mine section rocks discovered in a new area, tremendous upside potential.
