The general project location is shown in Figure 1. The south eastern portion of the property has limited four wheel drive or ATV access along BC Hydro power line access roads and old logging roads in the upper Emory Creek valley. While some of these roads are in good condition, the original access along the lower part of Emory Creek from the Trans Canada Highway has been cut off by landslides, requiring access from Stulkawhits Creek to the south along a north-south BC Hydro access corridor that connects to the old Emory Creek Road from BC Nickel Mine Road. This access is suitable for high clearance four wheel drive or ATV only and passes through an area of extensive interconnecting ATV trails. The Emory Creek road and spurs provide access to most areas of the property on the south side of Emory Creek, although some spurs in the upper part of the valley are fairly heavily overgrown. Lower in the valley an intact bridge crosses to the north side of the Creek, but the condition of the roads that access the north side of creek in the property area is unknown. Access to the north western part of the property is from Harrison Lake. From the town of Harrison Hot Springs the East Harrison FSR provides two wheel drive access north along the lake to Cogburn Creek. The Cogburn Creek FSR is a maintained two wheel drive forestry road the follows the north side of Cogburn Creek to the east-northeast. From this road a secondary forestry road crosses to the south side of the creek and back-tracks to Settler Creek. This road then follows Settler Creek to the southeast nearly to its headwaters, at the north boundary of teh Emory Creek property. The current condition of this road is unknown, but active logging has occurred in the upper part of this valley in recent years. Between these two valleys the property includes about 7 kilometres of very rugged mountainous terrain which would only be accessible by helicopter and requiring mountaineering-type traverses. Tenure Information The Emory Creek Nickel Project currently consists of nine Mineral Titles Online claims with a total area of 1972 hectares. In the southeast part of the property small areas of the MTO claims are underlain by pre-existing legacy claims and active crown grants related to the historical Giant Mascot Nickel Mine which borders the property to the east. The claims are all owned by the author, and Crucible Resources Ltd. has an option to acquire 100% ownership of these claims. Claim details are shown in Table 1. Expiry dates shown in this table reflect the application the work described in this report. Figure 2 outlines the tenures of the Emory Creek Project.

The area is also near the eastern margins of the Coast Plutonic Complex. The property lies entirely to the west of the Fraser River fault system. In this area large bodies of metamorphic rocks are intruded by plutonic quartz diorites and granodiorites. Trending in a northwest – southeast direction is a broad assemblage of older rocks including mafic to ultramafic intrusive, schists and diorites Figure 3). These rocks, and particularly the mafic units are sometimes referred to as the Hope Nickel Belt. The Hope Nickel Belt is host to both massive and disseminated nickel or copper-nickel, mineralization associated with ultramafic rocks. Known nickel occurrences include the Giant Mascot Mine, which historically was the largest nickel producer in BC, along with less developed prospects such as Star of Emory, Cogburn, Jason and Big Nic. The ultramafic rocks can include large bodies of peridotite, serpentinite and other ultramafic rocks carrying high levels of magnesium, such as the Emory Zone in the southwest part of the belt. In the southeast the belt is more altered and affected by the large scale quartz diorite intrusions of the Spuzzum Pluton. In the areas mined previously the ultramafic rocks for a 2.5 by 1.5 km body between metamorphic rocks and intrusive. The body includes areas of gabbro and hornblendite along with smaller sections of peridotite and dunite that hosted numerous ore bodies of both massive and semi-disseminated sulphide mineralization. Sulphide mineralization consisted mainly of chalcopyrite and pentlandite with pyrrhotite. In addition to the ultramafic bodies, as noted, in the east much of the area is underlain by intrusive rocks, primarily from the quartz diorite Spuzzum Pluton. There are also some more recent smaller granodiorite intrusive to the north and in the central part of the mafic belt. To the west lie extensive areas underlain by Slollicum Schist, and the older Cogburn Schists occup a Central position in the mafic belt. To the east of the Cogburn Schist, intrusive rocks grade from diorite to Gabbro, with the ultramafic rocks occurring on both sides of the mafic belt. Local Geology The Emory Creek Property extends from the western margins of the Giant Mascot site to the northwest along the western margin of the Hope Nickel Belt, covering known and projected zones of prospective ultramafic rocks along with adjacent intrusives and schists. The upper Emory Creek valley area, including large parts of the Giant Mascot site, is mapped as quartz diorite. This area also includes smaller bodies of mafic and ultramafic rocks, some of which are known host copper-nickel mineralization. Over the mountainous section of the property extending northwest from Emory Creek, elongate bodies of ultramafic are mapped along with diorite and gabbro and smaller areas of metamorphic rocks and schists. Airborne magnetic data is a good indicator for ultramafic rocks in this area and available data indicate an even wider extent of this type of rock than that shown in regional mapping (Figure 4).

The rocks of the Pacific Nickel Complex form an irregular stock-like mass up to 3 kilometres across. The northeastern half of the stock consists of barren pyroxenites and peridotites with little hornblende, while the southwestern half of the stock is a highly variable, hornblende-rich assemblage of mineralized peridotites and pyroxenites that contains seventeen orebodies of various sizes associated with the mine.

  • Is Diatom Richness Responding to Catchment Glaciation? a Case Study from Canadian Headwater Streams
    J. Limnol., 2012; 71(1): 72-83 DOI: 10.4081/jlimnol.2012.e7 Is diatom richness responding to catchment glaciation? A case study from Canadian headwater streams Doris GESIERICH*, and Eugen ROTT Institute of Botany, University of Innsbruck, Sternwartestrasse 15, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Due to global change affecting glaciers worldwide, glacial streams are seen as threatened environments deserving specific scientific interest. Glacial streams from the Coast Range and Rocky Mountains in British Columbia and at the border to Alberta were investigated. In particular glacial streams and downstream sites in the Joffré Lakes Provincial Park, a near by mountain river and two large glacial streams in the Rocky Mountains (Kootenay Range, Jasper National Park) were studied. Regardless of a high variability of catchment glaciation (1 to 99%) thin organic biofilms with firmly attached diatom frustules of the genera Achnanthidium, Psammothidium, En- cyonema, Gomphonema and fragilaroid taxa were found in all cases. In spite of fundamentally different geological conditions between the Coast Range sites and the Rocky Mountain sites, the pioneer taxon Achnanthidium minutissimum (with a slimy long ecomorph) was dominating quantitatively in most of the glacier stream samples together with the rheobiontic Hannaea arcus. Individual glacier stream samples were characterized by the dominance of Achnanthidium petersenii and Gomphonema calcifugum/Encyonema latens. The diatom community analysis (cluster analysis) revealed the expected separation of glacier stream sites and sites of the lower segments of the river continuum (e.g., dominance of Diatoma ehrenbergii in the mountain river). In the Joffré area, the total species richness of turbid glacial streams close to the glacier mouth was significantly lower than in the more distant sites.

Poole Aurora Wildlife Research 2305 Annable Road, Nelson BC V1L 6K4 Tele. (250) 825-4063; e-mail: [email protected] September 2008 Cayoosh mountain goat survey, July 2008 ii ABSTRACT Mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) are managed as a big game species in British Columbia, and as such aerial surveys are conducted periodically to document population trend and productivity, and to establish hunting quotas. As a result of suspected declines in the population and a 10-year gap since the last survey, a survey was conducted to determine the numbers and distribution of goats in subzones 3- 16B, C, D, E and F in the Pacific and Lillooet ranges of the Coast Mountains southwest of Lillooet, southeastern British Columbia, in July 2008. Standard survey techniques were followed using a Bell 206B helicopter. We used 18.4 hrs of helicopter time, including 15.7 hrs on survey, and surveyed a 675-km2 census zone of potential goat habitat under good survey conditions. Overall survey effort averaged 1.4 min/km2. We observed 210 goats (150 adults, 60 kids) in 56 groups. Kids comprised 29% of total goats (40 kids:100 adults [non-kids]). Groups were distributed from 5,400 to 8,100 feet (1,650–2,470 m) elevation. I applied a sightability correction factor of 60% to derive an estimate of 350 goats for the census zone within the 5 subzones (density of 0.52 goats/km2).

This year was a good one for the V.O.C. We have seen our membership grow to a recent high of over 250. For many, the club has opened up a whole new world of adventure and challenge. For others, the club has continued to be a central part of their lives adding new memories and aspirations. The success of our club has always been in the strength of our active members. This year, again, active members gave their time unselfishly to such things as leading trips, cabin committee meetings and social functions, not to mention many others. It is these people I would like to thank most for making my job, as President, that much more enjoyable. For those of you who have participated in club activities for the first time, I urge you to take an active part in helping to run the club. I am sure you will find that the rewards far exceed the time and effort involved. As a club whose major interests lie in the outdoors, I feel we as a membership have helped people become more aware of what is beyond the campus of U.B.C. British Columbia offers a wealth of wilderness which is accessible to everyone. It is important that as a club we continue to pass on our knowledge about outdoor activities and wilderness areas.
