3 1.0 SUMMARY The Gin property consists of 8 claim blocks located on the Klastline Plateau within the Stikine Arch of Northwestern British Columbia. Gravity West Mining Corporation ("Gravity West") owns 100% of the property. The Stikine River area of northwestern B.C. is a region well known for its alkalic plutons and associated porphyry copper-gold mineralization.

2007 work objectives focused on the grass root assessment of the property thru soil geochemistry covering areas predominantly the eastern part of the property. A total of 126 soil samples were taken from the property during the present exploration work. The samples were collected at 50m and 65m station intervals on three grid lines spaced 500m apart. Over all greater then 7km of grid line was picketed and sampled.

The soil geochemical results indicated the presence of anomalous gold, silver, copper and nickel values in the samples. Highlights of the assay results are presented below:

Gold - One sample returned 1.2 g/tonne (1.2 part per million) - 4 samples over 100 ppb (part per billion) - 8 samples between 51 -100 ppb 43 samples between 21 -50 ppb

Silver - 32 samples between 0.3-0.5 ppm - 30 samples between 0.2-0.29 ppm - 22 samples between 0.1-0.19 ppm

Copper - One sample 0.023% - 6 samples between 0.01 % - 0.02 %

Nickel - 2 samples with 0.025% and 0.043% values - 19 samples between 0.01 % - 0.02%

Overall soil geochemistry on the Gin Claims shows a strong anomalous gold profile, and elevated values of copper and nickel, on the eastern portions of the property. However, the western portions of the grid were sampled using a shovel that did not penetrate as deep and therefore did not sample the same profile as those samples taken with the soil auger in the East.

4 Positive results from the 2007 soil geochemistry warrant additional work. Given the wide spacing of the grid lines during this program it is recommended that additional sampling be undertaken at a tighter line spacing at 100 m interval. Based on the results of this additional sampling program, drill targets should be defined for further exploration work. The results of 12 grab rock samples collected from the southern portion of the property indicated anomalous gold, copper, zinc and nickel values in some of the samples. A detailed rock sampling and prospecting covering all the property claims can provide a better understanding of mineralization.

5 2.0 INTRODUCTION

The Gin property consists of 8 claim blocks located on the Klastline Plateau within the Stikine Arch of Northwestern British Columbia. To the North Northeast lies the 446 million tonne Red Chris copper gold porphyry deposit. Gin claims were staked to cover potential Cu-Au style mineralization or precious metal rich veins which commonly occur peripheral to this style of porphyry deposit. Gravity West Mining Corporation ("Gravity West") owns 100% of the property.

2007 work objectives focused on the grass root assessment of the property thru soil geochemistry covering predominantly eastern areas of the property. CJL Enterprises Ltd. ("CJL") was contracted to carry out the work program and the first author was retained by CJL for fieldwork supervision, reporting and project coordination.

2.1 Location and Access

The center of the Gin claims is 6.5km east of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway (Highway 37), about 20 km to the southeast of the Village of Iskut. A deep sea port is situated at Stewart, about 322 km to the south. The general center of the property sits at 57° 44' North latitude and 129° 55' West longitude on NTS map sheet 104H/12W.

The central and southwestern portions of the property are easily accessible via helicopter from Tattoga Lake lodge, 6.5km to the west or Iskut 20km to the North (Figure 2). The Northern and Western most portions are steeply inclined and rugged and are best accessed on foot. That said, from the roads on the western portions, you'll never be more than two kilometers from the base of the plateau. One, possibly two trails suitable for men or horses lead from the highway near Tattoga Lake lodge up onto the plateau. These trails could be used with the help of local expediters to move supplies to and from the camp, provide emergency medical services and transport personnel, especially during the foggy conditions common later in the season.

Once on the plateau movement is limited to foot, horseback or helicopter. At this stage concern over the environmental impacts of ATV's and similar equipment will limit their usefulness. Instead, consideration must be given towards utilizing methods that would minimize the overall "scaring" of the landscape. Luckily movement on the plateau is generally easy due to the minor changes in topography accompanied by low brush and grasses. In the southern portion of the property, traversing should be fairly quick and accurate, with quick easy access to a variety helicopter landing zones. Overall crew movement should be efficient and relatively inexpensive.

Dozens of locations for a base camp can be found as clear, flat areas with clean flowing water are easy to find. Timber becomes increasingly common towards the north and west especially along the slopes of the plateau. Figure 1: Property Location

7 There is also a gravel airstrip 2 km north of the village of Iskut that could handle DC-3 aircraft. Several resorts and motels are situated along Highway 37 between Iskut and Tatogga Lake, which provide seasonal accommodation and meals.

2.2 Physiography and Climate

The Gin property covers the northwestern half of Todagin Mountain which forms a small massif between Kiaskan, Ealue and Tadogin Lakes in the southeastern portion of the Klastline Plateau. Elevation varies from 850 meters (2,800 feet) a.s.l. along Coyote Creek in the extreme northwest corner of the property to 2,155 meters (7,069ft) a.s.l. atop Todagin Mountain. Most of the property is characterized by the rolling plateau with gentle slopes between 1,525 metres (5,000 feet) and 1,830 metres (6,000 feet) a.s.l. Steeper, rugged slopes are common along moderate to deeply incised creek valleys and on the northern and western most flankso f the property.

Vegetation consists of spruce and alder along the lower slopes and in creek valleys. Sub- alpine scrub meanders through the property at about the 1280 m (4,200 foot) level. The tree line is about 1370 m (4,500 feet) above sea level. Alpine flora including flowers and grass are common above the tree line. A number of small creeks which flow through the property could provide water for camp and drill operations (Figure 2).

Precipitation in the area is moderate, averaging 100 cm per year. Thick accumulations of snow are common during winter. Fieldwork can commence at lower elevations in June, while it is seldom possible to begin surface geological work before July and difficult to continue past September at the higher elevations. Fog and periods of low visibility becomes common towards the fall, making helicopter support increasingly difficult.

2.3 Property Status and Ownership

The Ginl thru 8 consists of 8 claim blocks covering 2680.548 Ha of mineral rights. Current ownership of all claims is held 100% by Gravity West Mining. Claim data is summarized in the Table 1, while a map showing the claims is presented in Figure 2.

8 Figure 2: Claim Location 2.4 Previous Work The Gin property is located in the Stikine River area of northwestern B.C., a region well known for its alkalic plutons and associated porphyry copper-gold mineralization. The one known showing on the property is the Gin prospect which has been categorized by the BCGS as a hydrothermal vein style polymetallic showing of limited known extent. Regionally, the property sits to the immediate west south west of Imperial Metals, Red- Chris porphyry copper-gold deposit. This deposit was first discovered in the 1960's and has since received sporadic yet continuous exploration. Currently the total proven and probable reserves at the Red-Chris deposit sit at an estimated 446 million tonnes at 0.349 per cent copper and 0.269 grams per tonne gold (Estimates for 2007 at website: http://www.imperialmetals.eom/s/RedChris.asp).

The Red Chris deposit, along with other properties in the Klastline-Tanzilla Plateau areas was explored intermittently for porphyry copper mineralization until the late 1970's. The entire area remained relatively inactive until the G.S.C. carried out a regional stream silt sampling program in 1988 (National Geochemical Reconnaissance, 1988). Since then a number of companies began actively exploring the area for porphyry copper-gold and associated precious metal, shear-vein deposits. As part of this exploration initiative, Dryden Resource Corporation staked the Gin 1 to 9 claims in 1990 to cover a number of colour gossans and stratigraphy thought to have excellent potential for hosting economic mineralization. During 1990 field season, Dryden collected 78 stream silts, 92 soils and 24 rock samples fromth e Gin claims and adjacent areas. This sampling program failed to identify significant mineralized targets requiring follow-up work (Mehner D., March 1991).

In 1991, Dryden carried out another exploration program which included collecting four stream silt, 99 soils and four rock samples from northern slope of the Gin claims. This sampling failed to identify any targets with obvious Cu/Au or precious metal shear/vein potential (Mehner D., November 1991).

10 3.0 GEOLOGY 3.1 Regional Geology

The property is located within the Intermontane Tectono-Stratigraphic Belt of the Canadian Cordillera. More specifically the claims lay within the northeastern half of the Stikine Arch along the northern contact of the Middle to Upper Jurassic sediments of the Bowser Lake Group. The regional geology has been mapped by the GSC (Souther, 1971; Gabrielse and Tipper, 1984; Read, 1984, Ash C.H., 1996). Rock units in the area include Permian and Older phyllites and limestone overlain by Upper Triassic, Stuhini Group argillite, siltstone, and wacke. Overlying these sediments are Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group augite-andesite flows, pillow lavas, pyroclastics and derived volcaniclastics. Lower Jurassic Toodoggone volcanics which have been mapped on parts of the claims are thought to be correlative with parts of the Hazelton Group stratigraphy (Ash C.H., 1996 & Collins J., 2004).

Unconformably overlying the above units to the south are chert pebble conglomerate, grit, greywacke and siltstone of the Middle to Upper Jurassic, Bowser Lake Group. Transecting the Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic assemblage is Upper Cretaceous to Lower Tertiary, massive and flow banded rhyolite, orbicular rhyolite and massive felsite. This unit commonly weathers rusty orange due to the oxidation of fine grained pyrite. Capping the stratigraphy at the higher elevations are Upper Tertiary and Pleistocene basalt and olivine basalt flows,commonl y exhibiting excellent columnar jointing.

Intrusive rocks in the region are typically fine to medium grained plutons that are coeval with the Triassic to Middle Jurassic volcanic assemblages. Compositions vary from diorite, granodiorite, monzodiorite, monzonite and syenite. Many of the smaller alkalic plutons, dated at between 185 and 195 million years (Schmitt, 1977), are associated with porphyry Cu- Au or precious metal vein systems. The intrusives all fall within the Stikine Arch structural domain, a regional feature along which Early Jurassic intrusive and related (island arc type) volcanic activity took place. Alkaline porphyry copper-gold deposits including the Galore Creek, Schaft Creek and Red Chris deposits occur within this trend.

Major regional faulting has affected the local stratigraphy during Middle Cretaceous and Tertiary tectonism. The east-northeasterly trending Ealue Lake Fault is the most prominent structural feature in the vicinity of the subject property. Although not exposed, it has been projected along the Coyote Creek-Ealue Lake Valley (Ash et al, 1995). Its presence is evident by contrasting lithologies and styles of alteration on either side. Zones of intense carbonatization with localized areas of ankerite flooding are widespread in rocks only south of the fault (Ash et al, 1995). Also, its continuity to the east has been determined for an additional 30 kilometres where it has been designated the McEwan Creek Fault with a south side-down movement sense (Read and Psutka, 1990). There are also similarly-oriented faults along the northern contact of the Bowser Lake Group; one of which is the southside-down normal bounding fault between the Bowser Lake Group rocks and the Red stock near the centre of the property (Collins J., 2004).

3.2.1 Lithology

The oldest rocks in the area are Upper Triassic Stuhini Group clinopyroxene phyric basalt flows and pillow breccias, siltstone with lesser feldspathic wacke, and feldspathic wacke with lesser sandstone and siltstone. The Siltstone dominated package is locally veined and brecciated by ankerite. Mafic volcanic rocks comprise dark-green and maroon, monolithic augite pyrite basalt with or without olivine and plagioclase phenocrysts (Ash C.H., 1996). The rocks of Stuhini Group are present in the central and northeastern part of the Gin claims.

Overlying Hazelton Group strata are of Early Jurassic age. The oldest units are Sinemurian volcanic conglomerate with lithic wacke interbeds, and andesitic volcanic breccias with maroon epiclastic conglomerate and wacke intervals. Northwestern part of the Gin claims is underlain by Sinemurian volcanics. Overlying Pleinsbachian to Toarcian strata include: interbedded feldspathic wacke and siltstone; maroon volcanic breccia and conglomerate; clinopyroxene-phyric basaltic flows and pillow breccia with wacke and siltstone intervals; Limestone and calcareous sandstone; rhyolite breccia, sharpstone conglomerate and feldspathic wacke; autobrecciated rhyolite flows with felsic tuff and sandstone interbeds; rhyolitic volcanics and volcaniclastics with volcanic breccias and welded tuffs; and siliceous siltstone with felsic tuff interlayers. These rocks are present in the southwestern part of the Property.

Middle Jurassic Bowser Lake Group rocks cover south and southeastern parts of the Gin claims, and include a siltstone-sandstone unit with intercalated silty and limy mudstone, and chert pebble conglomerate with sandstone interbeds. Pliocene to Recent olivine basalt flows comprise the Maitland volcanics.

A suite of high level quartz diorite to monzonite stocks and dikes includes the Red stock and the Groat pluton. The Red stock hosts the Red-Chris deposit located to the east of the Property. The compositions range from quartz diorite to monzodiorite to monzonite; dikes are usually rx>rphyritic. Isotopic dating indicates that the intrusions are of Sinemurian age. A northwest-elongated pyroxene diorite pluton may be of Pleinsbachian age (Ash C.H., 1996).

There are some areas of intense ankerite-magnesite alteration, and the known quartz stockwork zone with copper sulphide mineralization and carbonate-sericite alteration in the Red stock (Collins J., 2004).

2007 geological mapping work was limited in scope and served only to confirm observations made in the northern most areas seen in the 1990-91 programs.

14 3.2.2 Alteration

A cursory examination of outcrops throughout the property indicates there is widespread but erratic propylitic alteration. Hematite, chlorite and calcite veins, or fracture fillings are the main alteration minerals. Actinolite and calcite, calc-silicate replacement of limy siltstone beds has been noted in two outcrops from the Dryden program.

Large iron stained, colour gossans due to oxidized, fine grained pyrite or oxidized dolomite veins (pyrite bearing?) are common throughout the property. Magnetite veins were noted in the hornblende diorite unit.

3.2.3 Structure

Bedding strikes northeast with southerly dips of 35° to 80°. The major unconformity separating Bowser Group sediments from underlying Hazelton Group volcanics and volcaniclastics also strikes northeast-southwest.

3.2.4 Mineralization

Widely scattered, narrow (<3cm) pyrite veins occur erratically throughout the property. Trace amounts of chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite are associated with the pyrite locally. No significant mineralization has been noted on the property.

15 4.0 2007 EXPLORATION PROGRAM

4.1 Work Completed

The finalpickete d grid layout consisted of 126 soil samples taken at 50m and 65m station intervals on three grid lines spaced 500m apart (Figure 5a-c). Over all greater then 7km of grid line was picketed and sampled. Soils on line 445500 E ranged from brown to dark brown with minor sand in the north to rusty brown or dark brown with minor clay and sand in the south. Soils on line 446000E ranged from light brown to dark brown in the north with minor sand, to dark brown with minor clay and commonly rusty colored in the south. Finally soils on line 446500 ranged from light brown to brownish with minor sand and/or clay in the north to dark brown or black with clay then brown with rusty spots and minor sand in the south. Generally speaking, most samples were taken from the B horizon and contained relatively well developed soil. Very few samples hit bedrock, localized boggy material or contained large pebbles or boulders with very little or no soil to sample.

All samples were collected as per the geochemical sampling procedure noted below in Section 4.2. The western most line and all but 4 of the northern most stations on the central line were sampled using a shovel; for all other sampling stations a soil auger was used. All stations on the western most line (L445500E) were placed at 65m intervals due to a chaining error in the field. All other stations (namely those from L446000E and L446500E) were placed at 50m intervals.

21 contour soil samples approximately 50m apart were taken from western and northwestern slope of the plateau out of which only one sample (588345) was from the Gin property (located on the western edge of claim 528229)(Figure 7).

16 Grab samples were taken during the current exploration program, out of which 12 samples were from the southern part of the property on claims 528227, 528232, and 528296 (Figure 7).

Prior to the onset of this program a small archeological study was conducted to evaluate the claims for culturally sensitive sites. This study focused on areas of proposed work and on low lying zones accessible via truck from the Cassiar Highway. Results of this study can be found in Appendix D of this report.

4.2 Geochemical Survey Procedures

In order to collect the soil samples a 1.3m corkscrew soil auger and/or spade was employed. Sampling crews used the soil auger to penetrate as deep into the soil as possible before gathering the final sample. Once collected in the auger care was taken to remove any organic material from the final sample. Some locations were sampled with the use of spade which, simply put, involved digging a small hole to retrieve the sample as deep as possible. The significance of using two different tools in such a program becomes apparent upon review of the geochemical data.

16 Generally these samples were successfully collected at depths equal to or greater then lm, targeting the B horizon however, there are many circumstances where depths of less than l/4m was all that was possible. In addition to this, many locations were too rocky or too wet to successfully collect any material, or only a small amount of wet, organic rich material was collected. Once collected these samples were then placed in a standard kraft soil bag and sent to ACME's prep lab in Smithers for standard soil prep processing. Once dried and sieved a small portion of each sample was shipped to ACME's analytical lab in Vancouver and assayed according to package lDx + Fire Assay for Gold as per ACME's 2007 schedule of work. Note that reported samples with I.S. in the fire assay data were most likely wet and/or organic rich or were in an area devoid of significant soil such as an outcrop.

During sample collection crews took observational notes as to the color and general consistency of the soil focusing on the soil/clay content, the grade and direction of the topography and any other relevant observations.

4.3 Geochemical Results

The soil geochemical results from the Gin tell an interesting story. First and foremost is the presence of anomalous gold values in many of the samples taken. Most notable of those samples is one from the southeastern corner of the property where a single 1233 ppb Au value was obtained from fire assay. Interestingly the ICP data did not show this anomaly. The results are summarized in Table 2 and 3, and the highlights are presented below:

Gold (Figure 5a) - One sample returned 1.2 g/tonne (1.2 part per million) - 4 samples over 100 ppb (part per billion) 8 samples between 51 -100 ppb - 43 samples between 21 -50 ppb

Stiver (Figure 5b) - 32 samples between 0.3-0.5 ppm - 30 samples between 0.2-0.29 ppm - 22 samples between 0.1-0.19 ppm

Copper (Figure 5c) - One sample 0.023% - 6 samples between 0.01 % - 0.02 %

20 The results of soil sample 588345 collected from the western edge of the property indicated gold 159 ppb, silver 0.3 ppm, copper 124.8 ppm, and nickel 61.1 ppm.

The soil assay results for gold, silver and copper were plotted on contour maps presented in Figure 6a-c. No definite trend is seen for gold (Figure 6a) and silver (Figure 6b); for copper (Figure 6c) a soil anomaly is interpreted in the northeastern part of the survey area. The eastern survey line shows anomalous values for all the elements plotted. Keeping in view a 500 m line spacing these results are considered inconclusive.

There is a difference in the magnitude of results taken by the auger versus the shovel. The samples collected by shovel returned very low metal values as compared to the auger samples. It's likely that an impermeable layer exists within the soil profile which had a significant influence on the quality of the data with respect to showing the chemistry of the underlying bedrock. Given this possibility it is highly recommended that any additional soil geochemistry on the Gin property uses the same tool to collect the samples and that a minimum depth of lm be obtained on all samples. As well, detailed observations as to the depth of the samples should be recorded and used in the final evaluation of the quality of the sample. Finally a detailed soil profile from several strategically chosen locations throughout the property should be used to determine if such a barrier exists. Within these chosen locations several samples should be taken down thru the soil, analyzed and compared.

The results of 12 grab rock samples indicated that some of the samples have anomalous gold (Sample 588370 - 81 ppb, Sample 588471 - 112 ppb), copper (Sample 588463 - 211.9 ppm), zinc (Sample 588463 - 1383 ppm) and nickel (Sample 588468 - 228.7 ppm) values. The results are summarized in Table 3.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS

Overall soil geochemistry on the Gin claims shows a strong anomalous gold profile on the eastern portions of the property. However, the western portions of the grid were sampled using a shovel that did not penetrate as deep and therefore did not sample the same profile as those samples taken with the soil auger in the East. This suggests that the western samples may not reflect the true nature of the underlying bedrock and should therefore be resampled with an auger to an established niinimum depth. Similarly, the concentration of silver also follows the gold trend, showing relatively higher values on the eastern two lines.

Elevated copper and nickel values were also noted on the Property with values up to 0.023% Cu and 0.043% Ni. All in all 6 samples reported 0.01% to 0.02% Cu and 19 samples reported 0.01% to 0.025% Ni. This suggests that the overall potential for a significant discovery on the Gin claims remains positive. The results of 14 grab rock samples collected from the southern portion of the property indicated anomalous gold, copper, zinc and nickel values in some of the samples. A detailed rock sampling and prospecting covering all the property claims can provide a better understanding of mineralization.

6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

Positive results from the 2007 soil geochemistry warrant additional work. Given the wide spacing of the grid lines during this program it is recommended that additional sampling be undertaken at a tighter line spacing and with tighter controls on sampling protocols. It's also recommended that all 2007 stations be resampled within the new programs established protocols.

Additional sampling should consist of 100m line spacing and 50m stations interval covering and extending previous sample stations and infilling lines between previous grid lines. This program should cover a total of 20km of grid line for a total of around 400 soil samples. Sampling protocols should include a minimum soil depth and samples should be obtained with the use of a soil auger.

Geological mapping of the grid should be conducted in conjunction with prospecting and sampling program. As well, geological mapping and prospecting beyond the grid should be considered.

Following the establishment of the grid a geophysical survey consisting of IP and mag should be conducted.

29 Upon the completion of this phase of exploration all data will be evaluated with the intent of defining drill targets. It would be reasonable to expect this property to be drill ready within two months of the completion of phase one.

Finally, establishing exploration partnerships in this region could significantly reduce exploration costs while increasing overall productivity for all parties. Such partnerships could be developed by sharing helicopter minimums, mob demob costs for geophysics, ground crews and drill operations, and in the exchange of knowledge.

This report presents the results of the Preliminary Archaeology Overview Assessment (AOA) of Gravity West Mining Corp.'s proposed mining project on its Gin and Bonanza mining properties. The proposed development activities consist of (1) the construction of 23.8 km of cut and/or picket grid line (largely above tree line); (2) prospecting and geologically mapping soil sample grid lines; (3) covering grid with Induced Polarization and ground magnetometer geophysics; (4) establishing a camp, housing 6-8 persons; and (5) constructing three helicopter landing pads.

This Preliminary AOA was undertaken by Markey Anthropology and Archaeology Research Consultants on behalf of Gravity West Mining Corp. and the Tahltan Central Council in August 2007. The Gin and Bonanza Properties Project is located within the asserted traditional homelands of the Tahltan Nation.

The objectives of this Preliminary AOA were:

• To provide an initial review of ethnographic, Tahltan Traditional Use Study, historical and archaeological data relevant to the proposed mine development areas; • A preliminary field investigation to identify, review and assess known and potential archaeological resources and Tahltan land use sites; • To provide recommendations with respect to the need for further research prior to the initiation of any proposed mining development; and • To produce a final report outlining the results of our preliminary field reconnaissance, and initial literature review of the archaeological potential that may be impacted by the proposed exploration project.

The study observed a number of terrain features within the proposed development areas with some potential for archaeological and land use resources. Accordingly, in order to address any concerns with respect to impacts of the proposed mining developments, an

4 Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) and Tahltan Land Use Study is recommended for the Gin and Bonanza Properties Project. This Preliminary AOA was conducted without prejudice to First Nations treaty negotiations, Aboriginal Rights or Title.

6 1. Introduction

The following report presents the results of a Preliminary Archaeological Overview Assessment (AOA) of Gravity West's proposed Gin and Bonanza mining projects in Northwestern British Columbia. The assessment was undertaken by Markey Anthropology and Archaeology Research Consultants and conducted between August 10 and August 14 2007. The Gin Project is located within the Todagin Wildlife Management Area, and the Bonanza Project is in the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Parks respectively, and lies within the Klappan River watershed. Furthermore, the study area lies within the traditional homelands of the Tahltan First Nation (Fig. 1).

The objectives of the Preliminary Overview Assessment were:

• To provide a brief review of the ethnographic, Tahltan Traditional Use Study, historical and archaeological data relevant to the proposed mine development areas; • To conduct a preliminary field investigation to identify, review and assess known and potential archaeological resources and Tahltan land use sites; • To provide recommendations with respect to the need for further research prior to the initiation of any proposed mining development; and • To produce a final report outlining the results of our preliminary field reconnaissance, and initial literature review of the archaeological potential that may be impacted by the proposed exploration project.

This initial archaeological overview assessment follows the general guidelines for AOA level studies as outlined in the BC Archaeology and Registry Services Branch BC Archaeological Assessment Guidelines document (Government of BC 1998). However, this overview assessment does not develop an archaeological prediction model as this was outside the scope of this project.

7 This Preliminary Archaeological Overview Assessment was conducted by Nola Markey, MA, Kenny Joe, BA, Camille Callison, MLIS, and Mary Suchell on behalf of the Tahltan Central Council and Gravity West Mining Corp. Initial TUS related research tasks associated with this project were carried out by Camille Callison and Christine Creyke, BA, Tahltan Central Council.

Study Area & Previously Recorded Archaeological Sites

Figure 1: Study Area 2. Proposed Project Activities

The location of the Gin property (2680.55 ha.) is immediately south east of Todagin Lake where Hwy #37 intersects the north west corner of the property, and the Bonanza property (3000 ha.) is situated immediately south west of the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Park, where the Klappan River intersects the north east corner of the property (Fig.2).

Gravity West proposed to conduct exploration activities at the Gin and Bonanza locations, between June 15,2007, and October 31,2007, consisting of the following:

• Constructing 23.8 km of cut and/or picket grid line (largely above tree line); • prospecting and geologically mapping soil sample grid lines; covering grid with Induced Polarization and ground magnetometer geophysics; • establishing a camp, housing 6-8 persons; and • constructing three helicopter landing pads.

Impacts within the proposed properties are considered to be moderate at their level of disturbance. The land altering activities are limited to clearing of brush and removal of some tree stands, and the removal of small soil samples extracted by hand shovel. The expected level of archaeological disturbance resulting from soil sampling is limited to what may be located in the digging and extraction of soils. Clearing of timber may result in the destruction of culturally modified trees should they be present.

2.1 Description of Project Areas

Environment

Climatic and environmental diversity within this region contribute to a variety of resources available to human inhabitants for diet and technologies, therefore settlement patterns and land use styles. Identification of such paleo-environmental data informs research into past human populations of the area under study, and provides insight into adaptive subsistence strategies for this environmental setting.

9 Both Gin and Bonanza areas are within a sub-alpine biogeoclimatic zone which sustained considerable glaciations, leaving a scoured land surface, sharply formed valleys, large rock formations and glacial till. This zone is characterized by Engelmann Spruce-Sub- alpine Fir (ESSF), and cold, moist, snowy continental climate at the 900-1700m elevations (Meidinger and Pojar 1991). The project areas are situated within a landmass that contains mountainous terrain, plateaus and lower wetlands, with heavily forested slopes. Stands of spruce, aspen and birch are prevalent, with low ground cover plant species predominantly willows, aspen saplings, soapberry, berry-producing shrubs and mosses. Low lying riparian areas sustain moose, mule deer, beaver and other rodents, marten, fisher, mink and bear, as well as duck, geese and shoreline and wading bird species. Some elk and caribou are evident in limited numbers. The Gin location (1650m) is directly south and east of Todagin Lake situated primarily on a large plateau above the lake. Small creeks located within the Bonanza property (1100-1200m) drain into the Klappan River and surrounding wetlands.

10 3. Preliminary Literature Review

3.1 Ethnographic Literature

Tahltan Nation homelands (Figure 3) reach from the Rocky Mountain Trench in the east through to the westernmost boundary located along the Stikine River (Dawson 1889), and are bounded to the north by Dease Lake (Teit 1906), and to the south by the contested Meziadin Lake area (Duff 1964; Emmons 1911; Fladmark 1985; MacLachlin 1981). Available ethnographic literature (Jenness 1931; Teit 1906) describes two core groups occupying this area by the early 19* century, one of which is the Tahltan and the other the Sekani, pushed west by the Cree during the fur trade. Sheppard (1983) suggests, however, that in addition many Iskut Village members have been able to trace ancestry back to Beaver, Gitxsan, Tagish and Inland Tlingit. Despite this diversity the predominant language remains Dene-Athapaskan (Teit 1906). Albright's (1984) ethnoarchaeological report details Tahltan society as based on two moieties, Wolf and Raven and that each of these is sub-divided into three clans, similar to the Tlingit social ordering.

A wide variety of descriptions of the seasonal round, subsistence patterns, oral history and world view, cultural practices, social organization and material culture, exist for traditional Tahltan culture and can be found in the following interpretations by Teit (1906, 1914), Emmons (1911), Dawson (1889), MacLachlin (1981), and Albright (1984). Early ethnographers typically characterize the Tahltan production and economy based on fishing, hunting and trading with other nations, with little emphasis on plant gathering and production. However, Sylvia Albright's (1984) ethnoarchaeological study contests Teit's earlier assumptions, which provides new information regarding the importance of Tahltan plant gathering and production, with particular emphasis about plant knowledge and management, as well as land-use and territorial travel. A comprehensive literature review for the Tahltan is beyond the scope of this report; however this type of information is highly relevant in the interpretation of the archaeological record, and in determining site types and location of potential sites.

11 TAHLTAN TERRITORY i i

Figure 3: Tahltan Homelands 3.2 TahKan V— Study: Camille Callison, ML1S, and Christine Creyke, BA

Since time immemorial, the Tahltan Nation's identity and the essence of who we are as a distinct society has been integrally tied to the land and the wealth of the resources therein. In order for Tahltan society to continue in the ftrture, we rely on the same territory and resources that sustained our ancestors. Tahltan people continue to practice our traditional economy which includes fishing, hunting, and gathering as well as participating in the modern economy located within and outside of our traditional territory. Our land is our identity and forms the intrinsic link between the past and future for the Tahltan Nation. Our uniqueness as Tahltans must be preserved for our own future generations to maintain their continued cultural identity. Any major development in the heart of Tahltan territory will cause irreparable losses in traditional knowledge, culture and history in specific and surrounding geographic locations. Therefore, heritage work and needs assessments must be completed prior to any further disturbances to Tahltan land and heritage sites.

For any future archaeological work or further exploration to commence, a Tahltan Use Study must be undertaken with the goal of creating a geographic-specific report base derived from the archived Tahltan knowledge retrieved from Kime Tahltan Knowledge, the Tahltan Historical Land Use and Occupancy Study (1983-1985) and the Traditional Use Study completed for the Land and Resources Management Plan in 1998 by the Tahltan Joint Council in conjunction with the Integrated Lands Management Bureau, Skeena Region. This Tahltan Use Report must be abided by the terms and conditions laid out in the Tahltan Traditional Knowledge Agreement negotiated by the Tahltan Central council and Gravity West Mining including a workplan and budget for the Tahltan Use Study. Use of Tahltan traditional knowledge can then be incorporated into Archaeological Assessments in a variety of areas in a respectful and meaningful manner.

Traditional Knowledge is dynamic; taking many shapes and forms of expression it is articulated through the visual and physical arts; it is shared in song and story; it is expressed through cultural practices and rituals. Tahltan Knowledge is unique to each individual Tahltan and the identity of the Tahltan people is made up of multiple

13 knowledges which reflect many individuals' gender, age, status, and influences. Tahltan knowledge is acquired, used, and shared transferring from generation to generation the unique identity and state of being. The Tahltan Central Council has stated in prior assessments that Tahltan Traditional Knowledge refers to,

"...contemporary and generations-old knowledge accumulated and applied through generations of living in close contact with nature, including Aboriginal environmental knowledge, traditional ecological knowledge, traditional knowledge, local knowledge, indigenous environmental knowledge, land use and occupancy knowledge, empirical observations about the local environment, systems of land tenure, classification and self-management governing use of resources, traditions, beliefs, legends and customs, and that is in oral, written, or machine-readable form''' (Tahltan Central Council, December 2005).

The continuation and inter-generational transference of specific through participating in cultural activities customary rituals, sustenance gathering activities, traditional governance and learning through experience teaches and reinforces the cultural memory by attaching cultural identity to specific places located on Tahltan land creating a cultural landscape by which Tahltan knowledge can continue to be pass down to future generation in a similar manner.

Tahltan Knowledge Agreement: If Gravity West proceeds with their exploration and enters into a Tahltan Knowledge Agreement, the Heritage department team will endeavour to acquire a broad-spectrum of information: land use, travel and transportation routes (aquatic and terrestrial); location of cultural heritage sites, occupancy and traditional sustenance areas. Tahltan Knowledge can be utilized throughout the Gin and Bonanza project cycle in a number of areas:

• Environmental Assessment Process Phase to inform Access Route selection, identification of fish and wildlife habitats by analyzing traditional sustenance patterns and identification of Valued Ecosystem Components (VECs).

14 • Identification of Tahltan Heritage areas and use of Tahltan Knowledge to inform the archaeological assessment studies.

• In the construction and operation phases as it relates to the planning, design, implementation, including any environmental policies, environmental management plans, and Environmental Management Systems in making permit applications.

The sharing of valuable Tahltan Knowledge that is grounded from learned experience and gathered from recognized individuals and their families who were the most dependent on that geographic area for spiritual, cultural, and basic needs is intended to protect Tahltan lands and the holistic environment therein. Tahltan members are often best positioned to not only articulate the importance of certain places and spaces, but also share valuable knowledge that is grounded in learned experience. Therefore, numerous Tahltan members' knowledge can be utilized to inform and construct the Tahltari Use Reports on both the Gin and Bonanza Properties 2007 exploration areas maps when the study is undertaken.

Project Description: The Tahltan Central Council Heritage Department utilized the Kime Traditional Knowledge database, which contains the Tahltan Historical Land Use and Occupancy Study (1983-1985) and the Traditional Use Study completed for the Land and Resources Management Plan in 1998 by the Tahltan Joint Council in conjunction with the Integrated Lands Management Bureau, Skeena Region in a general manner for the purposes of this project and ensuing fieldwork, focused in the Gin and Bonanza project areas that were schedule for exploration work this year as laid out in the final maps. The project incorporated a variety of mediums (electronic, paper, sound recordings, map etc.) into an integrated database capable of indexing, multi-keyword searching and ranking by relevance linked to a GIS system. The project incorporated digitized sound recordings and transcriptions of interviews related to the proposed geographic area integrating the metadata into the areas that were schedule for exploration work this year in the Tahltan

15 Use Report Map on the Gin Property and the Tahltan Use Report on Bonanza Property Map.

Methodology:

1. Tahltan Historical Land Use and Occupancy Study

a. Located hard copies of the documents and maps associated with this study area were located, as well as Oral Tradition tapes

b. Transported maps to Vancouver and for digitization and transcription

c. Prioritized, digitized and transcribed Oral Tradition tapes covering the geographic area

d. Located references in text/tapes to sites identified on digitized maps

e. Entered these sites into the integrated database.

f. Entered the database information into the GIS system

g. Determine the sensitivity of Traditional Use Sites

2. Traditional Knowledge study that was part of the Cassiar-Iskut Stikine Land & Resource Management Plan (CISLRMP)

a. Obtained maps and digital copy of the study from the Kime archive;

b. Incorporate the digitized data available from this study into the GIS system for mapping and zoning.

This work was supervised by the Manager of Heritage and the Kime Traditional Knowledge Project. There was a limited amount of applicable knowledge used in this report and was only available due to funding from a previous Tahltan Use Study and partial base funding supplied from other grant sources. The knowledge used in the report utilized the above methodology and other research contained in the Heritage Department resources were drawn from to create this preliminary Tahltan Use Study of the Gin and Bonanza property. Preservation of Tahltan Knowledge as well as use and occupancy in a geographic specific area can be achieved through the funding when obtained to complete a Tahltan Use report in the Gin and Bonanza Property areas.

16 Tahltan Use Study Results: Numerous elder's tapes were digitized and transcribed from the Tahltan Historical Land Use and Occupancy Study. Focusing in on this information, locations were identified on the maps were linked to the information contained within the tapes. The following map illustrates the spatially related data for the study area. The Tahltan Use was then ranked based on their relative sensitivity and cultural significance into a three tiered system: Extreme Sensitivity, Very Sensitive and Sensitive. These ranks are based on the Tahltan values contained within the Tahltan Values Matrix as identified in the Tahltan Heritage Policy and Guidelines for Development Consultation in Iskut Territory - Protocol for Determining Heritage Resource Values at Iskut. The Tahltan Values for sites include but are not limited to the following: Spiritual, Physical, Sustenance, Ancestral, Historic, Place of Creation, Places with stories, songs and/or placenames, transportation route (terrestrial or aquatic), trade or economic, governance, know archaeological area, burial, village or occupancy site, education and areas of current use. These values are quantified and the Tahltan Use areas are ranked by the following Tahltan levels of protection: Sacred, Heritage and high use areas considered Extremely Sensitive with areas obtaining a lower numerical score allocated to Very Sensitive or Sensitive based on the premise that all Tahltan land is sacred to the Tahltan people and therefore sensitive to use or alteration by resource development. Specific sites are encompassed by a small protective zone while the transportations routes are protected 500 metres from the centre line to limit any adverse impacts or disturbance.

19 3.3 Historical Literature

The 1858 journals of HBC Factor Robert Campbell (1958) and the earlier works of Dawson (1889), Teit (1909) and Emmons (1911) are relevant for their observations contemporary with the late post-contact period, while Duff (1969) and MacLachlin (1981) discuss impacts of the subsequent for trade and the discovery of gold in the Stikine Valley in 1861. The Stikine Gold Rush of 1862, followed by the Cassiar Gold Rush in 1874, and finally the Klondike of 1898 prompted a sudden influx of Euro- Canadians, and a more permanent presence in the Tahltan homelands (Emmons 1911).

In 1905 Tahltan were assigned reserves under the Indian Act, and in 1897 an attempt to establish a church mission was undertaken, but was short-lived and was abandoned a few years later. The increased Euro-Canadian traffic, and subsequent localization in the area, resulted in several smallpox epidemics, in 1864 and 1868, so that by 1900, Tahltan population was reduced to 297 members (Tahltan Nation CD Rom). Existing trails were frequently cleared and expanded to facilitate the development of telegraph services, transport of goods and supplies to goldfields, and eventually led to the construction of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway in 1971. Recent developments in the gold, copper and silver mining industries during the 1990's created a resurgence of exploration for these metals in the Iskut and Stikine drainages, and has resulted in many subsequent exploratory projects such as this one.

3.4 Previous Archaeology Relevant to Study Area

Significant archaeological work primarily in the Stikine was conducted by Jason Smith (1970, 1971), and is instructive for its discussion of site types and tool typology along the river. Smith is also credited for initiating the earliest archaeological sequence studies for this region (North Western BC), presenting the often contested 10,000 year occupation time frame. Subsequent projects launched by the Provincial Archaeologists' Office in 1978, and by BC Hydro beginning in 1980, produced more works concentrating on the Stikine, but considerably more attention is paid in these studies to the Iskut drainages (see Aresco 1980, 1981,1982, Albright 1983, 1984; and I.R. Wilson 1984) than in previous

20 studies. Knut Fladmark (1985) conducted an extensive exploration into the archaeological record of Mount Edziza, located in the heart of Tahltan territory, a site renowned for its unique and abundant obsidian deposit, which was utilized locally and, as a result of extensive trade routes, found in distant regions.

More recent comprehensive studies which have specific relevance to the Iskut area were conducted by David Friesen (1983, 1985) who worked with the Iskut and Tahltan bands to establish a pattern for archaeological sites, and recorded five significant pre and post- contact sites in the area. Sylvia Albright (1984) similarly re- recorded a sixth site of immediate relevance to the Gin property. In 1998 Millennia Research undertook an extensive study of the Cassiar-Iskut-Stikine (LRMP), for the BC Ministry of Forests. This study is significant in its establishment of an archaeological site predictability scheme (Simonson 2007) relevant to both Gin and Bonanza properties. Bjorn Simonsen (2002, 2003) provides a more detailed discussion of the study areas originally covered by Millennia, but incorporates the essential concepts used in their LRMP study into his 2004 Red Chris Project, situated directly between the Gin and the Bonanza properties. Simonsen's most recent Archaeological Impact Assessment for Red Chris provides an in- depth exploration of the known sites and review of previous site research, mapping, relevant literature, TUS material, up-dated ethnographic data, and very importantly establishes a concise inventory of site types that can be expected to exist within or in the vicinity of the two properties.

Based upon the literature review and the previously recorded archaeological sites in the project area, the types of sites expected include lithic scatter, quarry sites, culturally modified trees and rock cairns, ground depressions (remnant cache pits, temporary shelters and hide smoking pits), seasonal campsites, trails and burial and grave sites, trap sites, food processing and vision quests. Based on ethnographic information of Tahltan subsistence and occupation practices, the study areas would most likely have been used seasonally. The historical literature and oral histories indicate that the types of post- contact sites that may be found would include cabins, caches, mining structures and

21 j activities, blazed survey lines, wagon roads, livestock holding facilities, fur trading structures, trap lines, and telegraph lines.

22 4. Methodology

Literature Overview:

This Preliminary Archaeological Overview Assessment was initiated with a review of relevant ethnographic studies, post-contact history, oral histories and Traditional Use Study information, previous archaeological study reports and site files. This study is defined by the Stikine and Iskut drainage basins. Simon Fraser University Library was accessed for published sources such as ethnographic monographs on the Tahltan and historic accounts written by early European travelers, fur-traders and miners. The Archaeology and Registry Services Branch was consulted for the site data files for information on previously recorded sites.

Field Investigation:

Preliminary field reconnaissance was conducted in August, 2007 to familiarize researchers with terrain, boundaries and to assess archaeological potential within the Gin and Bonanza properties (Figures 2). Project maps were provided by Gravity West Mining Corp. (Marcus Ralph) for fieldwork, project access, proposed development location and directional reference. A small section of the Bonanza property illustrates 17.5 km of soil sample gridlines located in the southwest corner of the property, the Gin Property consists of 15 kms of proposed soil sample gridlines in the southeast corner of the property.

Filed investigations consisted of low altitude helicopter overflights for each property in order to view the proposed gridlines and associated facility locations (camps, heli-pads). Helicopter overflights facilitated a clear view of the water ways, rock outcroppings, knolls and other land formations. This approach assisted in the identification of potential sites of human use, and these were marked on the maps and accompanying notes were recorded en route. The selected sites were further examined by judgemental pedestrian survey, which aimed to refine the aerial overview. This method consisted of walking over the selected area, with crew members spaced at between 5 and 10 meter intervals,

23 (depending on terrain and visibility constraints), and examining the surface exposure and conducting a visual assessment of the terrain (slope, aspect and distance to water) for potential archaeological sites such as modified trees, depressions, structures, cultural material and trails. Hand-held GPS units (Magellan) were used to record the area surveyed, and the resulting data were recorded on these maps (refer to maps in the results section of the report).

Tree-throws and natural disturbances were also examined for exposed cultural material. Standing trees and fallen logs, stumps were examined for cultural modification, and bedrock and rack out croppings were examined for petroglyphs and pictographs. Rock shelters and talus slopes were examined for the presence of burials and camps sites. In addition, present floral and faunal species were observed and recorded, and the resulting inventories appear in the Results section of this report. The information gathered from these activities assists in the development of predictions of potential for the presence of archaeological remains and Tahltan land use sites.

24 5. Project Results

August 10, helicopter support was unavailable; in lieu of helicopter transport to take crew to designated area in the south east comer, crew surveyed the northwest comer of the Gin property immediately south of Todagin Lake. A hunting and fishing trail to the lake facilitated the initial recording of present floral and faunal species (refer to Table 1 and 2 for Gin and Bonanza Properties).

August 11, helicopter transport arrived and delivered crew near the southwest comer of the Bonanza property, and began foot survey south to a small peak. Blaze marks were observed on some trees travelling north and south located on top of the peak at 1256 m a.s.l. (Figure 6 & 7). These blaze marks (Figure 8) indicated a previous exploration mining grid, which was flagged and reported to Marcus Ralph. Ground visibility was poor owing to dense undergrowth, however game trails were observed in this survey location.

August 12, helicopter transport to the Gin property at the northeast section of the proposed cut line, where small drainages were observed, which included knolls, ridges and rock outcrops. Upon arriving on a small knoll we started to survey northeast and crossed over two proposed gridlines. We documented a rock cairn along a ridge at approximately 1655m a.s.l., which appears to have been constructed post-contact, owing to the presence of a 6" spike lodged inside the cairn (Figure 9). This location provided a panoramic view of the valleys and waterways below (Figure 10 & 11). We surveyed an area of approximately 4.4km and observed game trails abundant throughout the area. Major trails along the ridges that lead to the lower valleys were observed during aerial helicopter survey of this property, however a foot survey would be necessary to confirm. Ground visibility was moderate in some of the areas surveyed.

August 13, helicopter transport was unavailable this day. We surveyed a well-used hunting trail that eventually leads to the southwest portion of the Gin property, west of Todagin Mountain. There were fresh tree-blazes evident along the trail indicating that this trail is maintained yearly. Numerous game trails were observed, including a possible animal trap, and the slope along the trail was on a fairly steep incline (60% grade). The trail was surveyed for approximately 1.3km.

August 14, helicopter transported crew to top of Todagin Mountain at an elevation of approximately 1700m; sparse vegetation, consisting of lichens was observed, including Stone sheep and evidence of hoary marmot colonies (surface holes); at roughly 1500m, on the west aspect of the bowl, a wolverine was observed, however good ground

30 visibility permitted the examination of rock outcroppings for pictographs and petroglyphs. This landform leads into the south boundary of the Gin property.

Helicopter overflights were effective for identifying the terrain for high potential sites of human activity, which coincides with oral evidence that this area is an important hunting and trapping area. Wetlands and associated drainages, riparian zones and ecosystems were easily visible from the aerial view which supports an array of resources available to the Tahltan.

5.1 Project Limitations

Owing to the intermittent and unpredictable nature of helicopter availability, we were able to conduct only limited foot surveys of the Gin and Bonanza properties. Further, locations of proposed crew camps and heli-pads were not determined at the time of our departure and conclusion of the fieldwork, and we were unable to survey for these proposed impacts. Please refer to the following section for our recommendations.

31 7. Summary and Recommendations

Based on the forgoing information presented in the previous sections of this report, particularly the literature review, foot survey and helicopter overflights, summary indications are that there is high potential for archaeological resources to exist within the Gin and Bonanza properties. Since there has not been detailed archaeological field work conducted in the Gin and Bonanza properties, we recommend that an Archaeological Impact Assessment (ALA) for any development activities proposed in these properties, during snow free conditions.

An AIA must be carried out under a Heritage Inspection Permit issued by the BC Archaeology and Registry Services Branch, under Sect. 14 of the Heritage Conservation Act. It is further recommended that a detailed Archaeological Overview Assessment should be included in the AIA to facilitate the development of predictive model, building further upon Simonsen's Red Chris Project (2004).

Exploration work that has been undertaken by the proponent during 2007, subsequent to this Preliminary Archaeological Overview Assessment, we recommend a re-assessment for disturbances caused by land altering activities for possible impacts they may have had on potential archaeological sites. Specifically, these activities consist of the construction of a crew camp and associated facilities, three heli-pads, slashing and clearing of exploration grid-lines and any other associated disturbances.

A comprehensive Tahltan Land Use Study must be conducted for the area containing the Gin and Bonanza properties. The intimate knowledge of lands and cultural activities that Tahltan possess can inform the documentation of this region, and can provide vital information not otherwise readily available.

Meaningful consultation with Tahltan Central Council should continue and should follow the Chance Find Procedures.
