Fen Resources Ltd. retains 100% ownership of the property encompassing seven contiguous claims (see List of Claims below), for a total of 1,522 Ha. The prospect is 35 km by air east of the heliport at Invermere. The community of Canal Flats is linked by 60 km of Forestry road to the Fen property. Lead and zinc mineralization, with associated copper and silver values, form the primary target. The prospect is situated in the Fenwick Creek basin reference BCGS map sheets 082J.043/053, and centered N 50º29', W 115º33’.

Assessment Report 07798, 1979, by Kaiser Resources Ltd describes work on 12 claim units (300 Ha) in total. A later work period in the same area is recorded in Assessment Report 12440, 1983, by F.G. Gietz. It covered one claim unit, 25 Ha, in total. Exploration Target Lead-Zinc (Copper, Silver) Occurrence In 2005, Fen Resources personnel observed galena in stream-sediment pan concentrates taken from a tributary of Fenwick Creek. The Fen property was subsequently staked and follow-up contour line and orthogonal grid soil surveys outlined an extensive anomalous area with high values in lead, zinc, copper and silver together with barium and strontium in two localities in close proximity termed the Westside and Eastside areas. Collectively they form the Fenwick Creek base metal anomaly. A trail was constructed by Fen Resources to give vehicle access into the area of interest. Combined Westside and Eastside contour-line and orthogonal soil surveys outline an anomalous area that measures 220 x 1,000 metres horizontal extent, 160 metres vertical relief, and 270 metres slope distance. The anomaly is between elevation 1,960 metres and 2,120 metres. 1 Fen Resources Ltd. North Vancouver, B.C. October, 2018 FEN PROPERTY – Pb/Zn Prospect ASSESSMENT REPORT GRAVITY SURVEY Anomalous values for lead in the Westside zone range 121 to 491 ppm (outliers of 580 to 2,611 ppm excluded from the classification). Anomalous values for zinc range 218 to 999 ppm, (outliers of 1,556 to 3,488 ppm excluded). The samples are derived from B- to C-horizon subsoil in mountain terrain. For the Eastside Zone, combined grid surveys outline anomalous values for lead that range 265 to 527 ppm (outliers of 532 to 6,559 ppm excluded). Anomalous values for zinc range 746 to 1,982 ppm, outliers of 2,316 to >10,000 ppm excluded. The samples are derived from C-horizon subsoil in mountain terrain. Galena (lead), sphalerite (zinc) and chalcopyrite (copper) mineralization is observed in the basal section of a carbonate rock formation. The prospect exhibits half-metre scale, lens-like masses of coarse-grained galena and fist-sized, fine- grained lumps of chalcopyrite in talus. The sulphide lenses are walled by sparry dolomite and crystalline quartz. Silver is present in assayed material. 2.00 SUMMARY This report centres on geophysical technical work undertaken by Excel Geophysics Inc. on the Fenwick Creek property, first in 2016, then again in 2017 and also during the 2018 field season. The work to date is decidedly encouraging; the gravity “high” associates with strongly anomalous lead-zinc soil surveys, with intersecting regional and local structural controls, and with a geological unit that was host to the both Monarch-Kicking Horse Mine ± 75 miles to the north, and the Hawk Creek Mine ± 47 miles to the north. October, 2018 2 Fen Resources Ltd. North Vancouver, B.C. October, 2018 3.00 GEOLOGICAL SETTING & MINERALIZATION Regional Geology Regionally a paleotopographic “high” – the Kicking Horse Rim – is considered to have localized the change from western basinal shale facies (Chancellor FM.) to eastern platform carbonate facies (Catherdral FM.) within a narrow belt that is less than 16 km wide and up to 130 km long. It has been suggested that this environment has controlled, to a large extent, the development of the sedimentary facies fronts from Middle Cambrian through to the Ordovician period. Chancellor Formation The Chancellor Formation (Middle-Upper Cambrian; is the basinal equivalent of the entire Mount Whyte to Sullivan interval of the platform. The Formation has been divided into three informal units by Cook (1975) but Stewart (1989) proposed that the Chancellor Formation be upgraded to a group, comprising at least seven stratigraphic units. The unit has been tectonically deformed and thickness estimates are unreliable. The lower Chancellor consists of argillaceous limestone, shale and thin bedded dolomite with chaotic slump folds, slope breccias and carbonate slide blocks. The lower Chancellor is equivalent to the Mount Whyte, Cathedral, Stephen, Eldon and Pika Formations of the platform (Cook, 1975; McIlreath, 1977; Stewart, 1989). The “Takakkaw Tongue” of the Cathedral Formation occurs in the lower part. The middle Chancellor is composed of slate and cleaved, argillaceous limestone. Thin-bedded limestones of the upper part of the interval are biostratigraphically correlated with the Waterfowl Formation and the shales beneath are correlated with the Arctomys on a lithological basis (Cook, 1975). The upper Chancellor comprises cleaved calcareous shale with thin to medium bedded limestone. It is transitional upward with the overlying Ottertail Formation. The unit is correlated with the Sullivan Formation of the platform. Cathedral Formation The Cathedral Formation of the southern Rocky Mountains is

    GEOLOGY OF THE MOUNT BRUSSILOF MAGNESITE DEPOSIT, SOUTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA (825/12, 13) By George J. Simandl and Kirk D. Hancock KEYWOKLIS: Industrial minerals, rconomic geology. mag- nesitr. Cathedral Formation. Middle Cambrian. dolumitiz- tion, porosity. base metal association, deposit model. INTRODUCTION Magnesite (M&O,) is an induswial mineral that can bc converted into either caustic, fused or dead-burned magne- sia. Dead-burned magnesia is used mainly in the manufac- ture of refractory products; caustic magnesia is used in treatment of water, in animal feedstuffs, fertilizers. magne- sia cements, insulating boards and wood-pulp processing, in chemicals and pharmaceuticals and us a curing agent in rubber (Coope. 19X7). Magnesium metal is produced either from magnesite or from caustic mapnesia. In the short-term future. production of dead-burned mag- nesia is cxpectcd to remain constant. however, demand for caustic magnesia is increasing (Duncan, IYYO). With the increasing trend toward the use of high-perfomxmce “mag- carbon” refractories. future demand for fused magnesia looks promising. A number of magnesite deposits are known in British Columbia (Grzant, 19X7). the most important of these is the Mount Brussilof orebody. It is hosted by dolomites of the TECTONIC SETTING Middle Cambrian Cathedral Formation. The Mount Brussilof deposit is located in the Forekm3 rectonostratiEnlphic belt and within the “Kicking Horse HISTORY Rim”, as defined by Aitken (1971, 1989). It is situated east of a Cambrian bathymetric feature commonly referred to as The Mount Brussilof deposit was discovered during the Cathedral escarpment (Fritz. 1990: Aitken xnd regional mapping by the Geological Survey of Canada Mcllreath, 19X4, 1990).

  • Burgess Shale: Cambrian Explosion in Full Bloom
    Bottjer_04 5/16/02 1:27 PM Page 61 4 Burgess Shale: Cambrian Explosion in Full Bloom James W. Hagadorn he middle cambrian burgess shale is one of the world’s best-known and best-studied fossil deposits. The story of Tthe discovery of its fauna is a famous part of paleontological lore. While searching in 1909 for trilobites in the Burgess Shale Formation of the Canadian Rockies, Charles Walcott discovered a remarkable “phyl- lopod crustacean” on a shale slab (Yochelson 1967). Further searching revealed a diverse suite of soft-bodied fossils that would later be described as algae, sponges, cnidarians, ctenophores, brachiopods, hyoliths, pria- pulids, annelids, onychophorans, arthropods, echinoderms, hemichor- dates, chordates, cirripeds, and a variety of problematica. Many of these fossils came from a single horizon, in a lens of shale 2 to 3 m thick, that Walcott called the Phyllopod (leaf-foot) Bed. Subsequent collecting at and near this site by research teams led by Walcott, P. E. Raymond, H. B. Whittington, and D. Collins has yielded over 75,000 soft-bodied fossils, most of which are housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto. Although interest in the Burgess Shale fauna has waxed and waned since its discovery, its importance has inspired work on other Lagerstät- ten and helped galvanize the paleontological community’s attention on soft-bodied deposits in general.
