BIRKEN 1-2 CLAIMS INTRODUCTION The Birken claims are located in the Coast Mountains northeast of Pemberton and southwest of Darcy on a series of mountainous ridges that extends from the Birkenhead River to Blackwater Creek. The mountainous area includes Birkenhead Peak and Mount McDonald. See Map #1 which shows the approximate area of all the Birken claims staked to date in relationship to Pemberton, Lillooet Lake, Anderson Lake and Birkenhead Lake. Map #2 shows the Birken 1 and Birken 2 claims and their relationship to the town of Mount Currie, Birkenhead Lake and Anderson Lake. The property can be accessed by a paved road from Squamish, through Pemberton and the town of Mount Currie. In Mount Currie the road to the Birken claims continues straight past a main junction that exits right and leads to the Duffey Lake road and Lillooet. Do not take the turn to the Duffey Lake road, but continue through the town of Mount Currie and directly onto Portage Road that leads to Darcy. The Birken claims' southern boundary crosses Portage road southwest of Pemberton Pass just before the last crossing of Poole Creek (see Map #3). Poole Creek forms a major valley and canyon which can be easily seen to the left (north) of the road as you approach Pemberton Pass and Gates Lake. The main valley is the route for the road, the railway which was originally called the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (PGE), then BC Rail and now Canadian National, as well as four power lines. The railway crosses the road often and trains are fairly frequent so be careful at crossings. Additional hazards include loaded logging trucks, dump trucks and local residents who speed on the narrow, winding roads. This section of the property is covered by two claims: Birken 1 (Tenure # 929112) and Birken 2 (Tenure # 929113) as shown on Map # 2. These claims can be accessed from two main places. The first is the Portage Road and railroad crossing junction near the area where Poole Creek, Portage Road and the railway are close together (NAD 83: 0524695 E, 5591184 N). Walk along the edge of the railroad tracks to the west but be prepared to leave the tracks quickly if there is any traffic such as a train or a pick-up truck on the tracks. After crossing Poole Creek, it is easy to leave the tracks and hike up the west side of Poole Creek. Enter the forest above once the power line cuts have been crossed. The bush under the power lines can be very thick and essentially impassable if it hasn't been cut recently or it can be clear of bush with a road or trail, which makes the hiking very easy. In some places the bush under the power lines has been recently cut and left everywhere, obliterating any trails or routes that were previously there. As a result, each power line should be examined as a possible route, but if the going is difficult I find that the mature forest is much easier and faster to navigate than the power lines. Another way to access the Birken 1 and 2 claims is to walk past Poole Creek on the railroad tracks until a small road is found that leads north and then west. This track appears to be an old logging road that is reasonably clear and easily hiked low in the valley. Various old logging roads branch off this road. Some make good routes and others are so thoroughly covered in fallen trees and bush that it's better to proceed through the forest. We have seen black bear droppings in this area and once we saw a bear, which seemed reluctant to leave, but it ran off as we approached yelling and shouting. Bear spray and bear bangers are essential pieces of equipment for the bears that are more aggressive. To date we have not seen any evidence of grizzly bears in this area, but they could be present. There are many deer in the area and they have numerous deer ticks which are mainly active in the spring but can be encountered at any time except the winter. Deer ticks may harbour Lyme disease so anti-tick precautions should be used whenever you are in the bush. Wood ticks are also common in this area. The other route onto the property is from the end of a short road (Summit Road) that leaves Portage Road to the north at NAD 83: 0525327 E, 5591239 N. We usually park in the small turnaround at the end of this road and then hike westward on the newly-paved road until we find an old power line road that heads north. This road then heads northeast until it is crossed by a waterline made of black PVC pipe. Someone has blocked the road beyond this point and does not appear to want visitors so we leave the road quietly and follow the waterline under two power lines to the creek, being careful not to damage the plastic pipe. There are many deer trails in the area. Trails that trend across the hillsides tend to break into many small branches and disappear but the trails that run uphill or downhill tend to be used regularly and they often last for hundreds of metres. We also use the rock falls as routes into the higher country. They provide us with open areas and lots of rock to examine for mineralized samples. We use Google Earth images to locate the rock falls and mature conifer forests, both of which make good travelling. The deciduous forests, creek fans and slide alder slopes can also be seen on Google Earth and are the most difficult areas to pass through. Nevertheless, we do force our way through these forests whenever we have no other choice. Occasionally we find a game trail through the deciduous forests but trails are rare. It appears that the animals avoid these places as much as we do. The creeks in this area are different from any I've dealt with before. The larger creeks such as Poole Creek have a recognizable course with water present all year round. However, medium to small creeks that appear on the map may or may not be present. They come and go depending on the weather and on their underground and above ground courses. They are generally present higher up on the mountain slopes but once they reach the lower levels they form fans and frequently run underground. The water may disappear in the middle portion of the fan, but reappear as a spring or springs lower down. In addition there is often evidence that considerable water has been flowing through multiple intermittent courses on the surface, but there can be no obvious stream course present. The Geological Survey of Canada has published a geology map of this area titled "Pemberton Map Area 92J". This map has been very useful for our prospecting and it shows that we are working in the Cadwallader Group that consists mainly of ocean bottom sediments and volcanic flows, tuffs or breccias. To the southwest of the property granodiorites of the Spetch Creek Pluton outcrop and to the northeast quartz diorites are present. The main rocks we have found to date are andesite flows, occasional greenstones, breccia float and quartz diorite bedrock. This report covers a total of 7 geochemical samples including 2 bedrock samples, 4 rock float samples and 1 soil sample. To date no mineral deposit of economic or commercial value has been found on the Birken claims. 7 HISTORY OF THE BIRKEN CLAIMS This history is an abbreviated version of the work done by our group on ali of our Birken claims over the last three years.
