FOR MAMMOTH GEOLOGICAL LTD. -z- SUMMARY The Renfrew Creek Property presently consists of 4 units, totaling 100 hectares. The property was staked as a potential source of white limestone for aggregates and industrial fillers. The property was briefly explored during staking. Previous exploration consisted of quarrying test blocks to test the suitability of the stone for marble dimension stone. The property is underlain by steeply dipping, thickly bedded, white to grey-white limestone of the Triassic Quatsino Formation. The stone outcrops as a distinct knob of + 400 metres by 400 metres on the west side of upper Renfrew Creek. A program of mapping, sampling and diamond drilling is recommended. Total cost is estimated at $150,000. The cost of the exploration program completed during staking is $900. Mammoth Geological Ltd.
