INTRODUCTION The assessment work was conducted on a group of claims located on the Gang Ranch. The area lies west of the Fraser River on the Interior Plateau of British Columbia. The claims were located on Crwon Lands held under lease by the Gang Ranch. The owners of the claims, BSA Investors Ltd., are the same corporate entity as the owners of the Gang Ranch. The area is accessible from either Clinton,B.C. or Williams Lake,B.C. by public roads. These roads are not paved all of the way but the gravel portions are well maintained. The claim group is accessible from the Gang Ranch headquarters by driving north from the ranch on 2700 Road. The original group of 22 claims lies in the area bounded on the north by Word Creek, on the east by the Fraser River, and on the south by Churn Creek. The 8 claims for which this assessment work was done are bounded roughly by Word Creek on the north, the Fraser River on the east, and Prentice Gulch on the south. No new access roads were constructed to accomplish this assessment work. The entire group of claims is shown on the claim map which is a part of this report, and which is based on the Dog Creek Sheet No. 92-0/9. These claims were staked on behalf of BSA Investors in 1989 as a result of prior airborne magnetometer and VLF surveys. There is no known history of exploration or mining in this claim area. There is some evidence of old placer efforts along the bank of the Fraser River and in Churn Creek to the south, but these sites do not show any extensive work. This project is at an early stage of exploration and no data is available with which to make an economic evaluation of the property. The entire group of claims, as originally staked, consisted of 22 claims named RCRL Nos. 1 through 22, for a total of 398 Claim Units. The group of claims for which this assessment work is filed are RCRL No. 1 through No.6, RCRL No.21, and RCRL No.22, for a total of 156 Claim Units. W INDEX MAP GANG RANCH, B.C. Page 2 Page 3 SUMMARY OF WORK Geochemical Geochemical soil sampling was conducted on the claims in June 1989 as part of a second phase of exploration. A total of 430 soil samples and 53 rock chip samples were collected. All samples were assayed for gold, silver, copper, arsenic, and antimony. This amounted to 2,415 chemical determinations. Several anomolous areas were defined which were coincident with anomolies from prior aerial surveys. Geophysical k Induced polarization (IP) surveys were conducted along 4 miles of tk .r 4Kh) line with 50 meter dipole spacing. The locations of these IP lines are shown on the claim map which is a part of this report. The details of the IP work are discussed in the Barringer Geoservices report in Addendum "B". Geologic A geologic survey was conducted over the entire area of the 22 claim group. This was done on a reconnaissance basis to better define the geology of the claim area and to refine the published information that was regional in content. Glacial debris and basalt flows obscure the geology of the area in large part.

Seven of the eight areas were defined by anomalous stream sediment geochemistry and airborne geophysical anomalies in September, 1988; the eighth area was identified by an anomalous silver value in a rock chip sample. A total of 430 soil samples and 53 rock chip samples were collected; all samples were analyzed for gold, silver, copper, arsenic and antimony. Soil samples in -Anomaly 6 (Word Creek) defined two areas of anomalous gold values associated with felsic intrusive rocks in an intermediate to mafic intrusive complex of Jurassic age. Each of these areas is coincident with the margins of aeromagnetic highs and may reflect mineralization associated with alteration zones adjacent to the intrusive complexes. Maximum gold values in the soil were 110 ppb Au; a stream sediment sample in the center of the western anomaly in Anomaly 6 contained 427 ppb Au. A sample of hornblendite in the eastern anomaly yielded 165 ppb Au in outcrop. The remaining areas produced several samples containing high gold values that were not supported by elevated copper, arsenic, or antimony values and are thought to be due to detrital specks U of gold in glacial till overburden. High arsenic values in Page 11 w Anomaly 5 rock chip samples may warrant additional investigation but this area is assigned a low priority. A total of four miles of Induced Polarization (Ip) data were acquired on three lines at the Gang Ranch between the 14th and 22nd of July, 1989. Induced Polarization is the most commonly-used ground geophysical exploration tool for metal deposits and their associated zones of alteration. A two mile long IP line was acquired from south to north crossing Gaspard Creek to test Anomaly 1.
