British Columbia, 180 kilometres north of Vancouver, approximately 12 kilometres east- southeast of the historic mining community of Gold Bridge, and 9 kilometres northeast of the well-known Bralorne-Pioneer gold mines. The property lies on the east side of the Truax Creek valley adjacent to Mount Truax and southwest of Mount Williams. The Truax property lies approximately 2.5 kilometres from the past-producing Gray Rock antimony mine. Access to the claim is by way of forest service roads. The Truax property is held entirely by the author. It was initially acquired in December 2013 that also included the west side of the valley and Mount Truax. The claim was subsequently reduced to eliminate the west side due to impractical access. The property is currently comprised of Truax 1, 2, and 3 claims. The Truax property has been the subject of mineral claims as recently as 2008. Significant work has occurred in the general area since the 1930s, however there is no evidence of previous work being performed on the particular ground covered by the present Truax 1, 2, and 3 claims. The Truax claims were originally staked by the author based on a BC Geological Survey Regional Geochemical Survey (RGS) sample site showing elevated values for gold, arsenic, and antimony. The sample site is in a creek that drains an alpine basin high in the eastern part of the property. A field program undertaken by the author in August 2014 collected 21 rock, soil, and stream sediment samples. Gold values exceeding 600 PPB occurred in rock and stream sediment samples. Arsenic values exceeding 480 PPM occurred in soil and stream sediment samples. Antimony up to 79 PPM occurs in soil samples. The Truax property is at a preliminary stage. The 2018 field project described in this report was conducted primarily to follow up the encouraging results of the 2014 first-pass prospecting program, and evaluate the claim's potential for additional work. Positive results from this program suggest further work should be done for a more extensive evaluation. 1 2.0 Introduction 2.1 Terms of Reference This report was prepared to meet assessment requirements for the Truax property. It briefly reviews the geological setting, earlier exploration work conducted in the general area, and describes the work done
