19 for 8.6 Loyal (Minfile 92F 265)
The following description is from British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Minfile data:
The area is predominantly underlain by massive limestone of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group) cut by a suite of elongate hornblende-rich dioritic intrusions that commonly contain mafic xenoliths and occupy major fractures. Mafic diorite dykes exhibit varying degrees of endoskarn alteration but exoskarn halos are generally less than 1 metre thick and, in many places, are totally lacking.
The Loyal occurrence area is underlain by limestone of the Quatsino Formation intruded by north trending, skarn-altered mafic dykes more than 250 metres long. Exoskarn halos associated with these dykes seldom exceed 1 metre in thickness. Mafic intrusions outcrop along the northeast coast of Texada Island, below the Loyal mine dump. The intrusions contain rounded to angular mafic xenoliths of coarse hornblendite and gabbro up to 30 centimetres across.
Mineralization within the skarn-altered dykes and adjacent limestone comprise stringers and disseminations of chalcopyrite, bornite, galena, pyrite and sphalerite with associated garnet, epidote, calcite, quartz and variable amounts of magnetite and pyrrhotite. Argentiferous tetrahedrite has also been identified. Locally the skam contains lenses and alternating bands of sulphides. The zone ranges from 3 to 9 metres width.
The skarn zone has been intermittently exposed along strike by shafts and trenches for 91 metres and is intersected by underground wokings at 91 metres depth. In 1917 and 1918, a total of 342 grams of gold, 4821 grams of silver, and 4668 kilograms of copper were produced from a total of 54 tonnes mined (Mineral Policy data).
Five bulk samples taken in 1963 yielded an average content of 13.1 per cent copper, 3.56 grams per torme gold, 521.05 grams per tonne silver and 1.1 per cent lead (Assessment Report 2918).

The presence of skarn-related mineralization is known to occur around the various quarries, but access has been restricted by the current closure of the quarrying operation. Zyrox is currently trying to gain access to the Ashgrove quarry area as Zyrox holds rights to all minerals that are known to occur in this area of the north end of Texada Island. Mineral zones such as the Paris and Loyal are located in the general area of the quarries.

g 1OM CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Texada (Zyrox )property hosts several mineral zones contained within the extensive claim areas held by Zyrox Mining Company. The most promising areas of known mineralization include the Yew, Holly, Bolivar, M-21, Surprise Mountain, Loyal and Paris-Loyal. It is recommended that a review of existing data and field evaluations be made of all the known mineral occurrences within the claim holdings. Some targets recommended by previous operators such as Echo Bay Mines, but never pursued, could possibly be brought to the drilling stage without the necessity of extensive work programs..
The potential of company’s holdings is enhanced in that they occur within a historic mining area, and a well established infrastructure with respect to services, year round accessibility, tidewater facilities, an existing mill and proximity to a major centre. In addition, the property benefits from having extensive data available and the inclusion a number of exploration focal points.
