This report documents the results of the 1987 exploration program which was undertaken on behalf of Rea Gold Corporation between October 8 and 30, 1987. The program was designed to evaluate the eastern and western extensions of the White Pine vein and the northern extension of the Douglas Pine vein. The work consisted of: the establishment of two survey control grids totalling 21.8 line-kilometers, prospecting, geological mapping, soil geochemical sampling (531 samples), electromagnetic (VLF-EM) surveying, ground magnetics surveying, lithogeochemical sampling, backhoe trenching, refurbishing 2.4 kilometers of existing logging roads, and report preparation. This report summarizes the results of the 1987 surveying work. It was prepared by Messrs. J.D. Blanchflower, project manager, and D.M. Windsor, project supervisor. SUMMARY The WHITE PINE property is located in the Vancouver Mining Division of - southwestern British Columbia. It is situated immediately south of Shoal Bay on the northeastern coast of East Thurlow Island. The geographic coordinates of the property are 50" 27' North latitude and 125" 22' West longitude. The - map reference is N.T.S. 92K/6W. Access is by floatplane or boat to Shoal Bay, a direct distance of 47 - kilometers from the floatplane base on Tyee Spit at Campbell River. The property is comprised of two Crown-granted, two Reverted Crown-granted and five M.G.S. located mineral claims, totalling 80 units or 1,900 hectares - (4,695 acres). The claims are held by Verdstone Gold Corporation. Rea Gold Corporation is a joint venture participant. The claims cover the highlands south of Shoal Bay on the northern coast of East Thurlow Island, and Channe Island. Elevations range from sea level to 610 metres(2,OOO feet). Temperatures vary from -10" to t25" C. Precipitation is heavy throughout
