Summary and Introduction: Recent gold discoveries during late 1982 lead to extensive claim acquisition and exploration activity within the Greenwood and Grand Forks Mining District. Reverted crown grants were applied for and received by Emerald Star Mining Explorations Ltd. One of which is the Moonlight. located approximately three kilometre! North of Grand fords. The property is underlain by rock consisting of Nelson Intrustions of granodrorite, porphyritic granite. diorite. monzonite. and quartz monzontre of Mesozoic age.

His tory: The property was developed and granted by the Crown to a Mr. D. White, April 15, 1903. The author is not aware of any Minister of Mines reports for this property, or historical records of any kind. However, their is an abandoned mine just a few hundred metres away which contains a heavy magnetite ore with chalcopyrite, spalerite and massive pyrite also disseninated chalcopyrite and molybdenite, in lime stone and syanite host rock. The author is not aware of available assay certificates on this ore. Their are tailings from the old mine overlaying part of the moonlight property.

Previous Exploration Canex Aria1 Exploration Ltd.. carried out an Work: exploration program during March of 1971 under the direction of John S. Kermeen of Kamloops B.C.. on the SO. FAT, BH. SO, JJ. AN. PBE and HO groups of mineral claims covering the Moon- light property. This work consisted of an aria1 magneometer survey an airialdifferentiat specto- meter survey recording with a radio altimeter on a single tape. Airborn anomalies were then ground surveyed with a scintillometer. All for the exploration of Uranium. K.S. Kermeen also conducted grab sample geochemistry over outcroppings. The above was filed for asses- ment work with the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources (report #3172). The area was again later jointly staked by Kargen Development Corporation and Consolidated Tran Columbia Industries Ltd., who carried out an exploration program during March of 1978 by Glen E. White or Richmond, B.C. on the Doe, Oil1

/...2 .-a- Previous Exploration oaf, and Fo mineral claims covering the Work (continued): Moonlight property, this report consisted of ground and aerial magnetometer surveys for base metal ores, which was filed for assessment work with the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources (Report 16691).

RESULTS OF PREVIOUS EXPLORATION WORK: * Geophysical Survey: J.S. Kermeen (1971) used an Airborn Barringer Magnetometer Model AM-104 and a differential gamma ray spectrometer in correlation with mapable geology and grab sample geochemistry to outline radioactive signatures generated by Potassium-40, Bismuth-214, Thallium-208. Uranium and Thallium-232 of Thorium. J.S. Kermeen concludes "None of the radioactive results can be classed as strong reactions etc.," The Moonlight property showed an extremely low radio active response. The magnetometer survey conducted by J.S.Kermeen (1971) did not include the Moonliqht property. According to Kermeens report (1971). the survey was run primarily to dilliniate any radioactlve zones and the magnetic readings were recorded without much regard to abiolute magnetic intensit) Gien White's airborne magnetometer survey (1978) did not take in the Moonlight Property either, hdwever. the magnetic data contained in his report comprises vaiuable background information when corelated with known base mineralization and mapped geology. Ihe auove mntioned survey was run in the search for base metal ores and * produced a highly accurate, magnetic picture. The survey paralelled the known geology and hilighted interesting localized magnetic highs on the western portion of the survey area, a few hundred meters east of the Moonlight property, indicating a definate localization of higher magnetic suceptibility minerals. A ground magnetometer survey could be conducted on the Moonlight property and very easily tied in with surrounding previous magnetic surveys plus geological and geochemical data. in the 3earch for precious metal and base metal ores.

, ...3 - 3- Geochemical/Survey: Both J.S. Kermeen (1971) and Glen E. White (1978) in their reports were primarily concerned in the exploration of base metal ores, Kermeen concen- trating on Uranium exploration as well as copper and Scheelite. Kermeen conducted geochemical surveys for radioactive metals as well as copper molybdenum, silver, gold and tungsten the author did not note any significant1 anomilous result% except for Tungsten assays 0?11.41 YO3. and.29% WO3. as well as several silver assays of -5 OZ. These samples were taken at the abandoned mine site (see History this report) located a feu hundred metres west and on strike of the Moonlight property.

Location and The claim is located approximately three kms. Access : north of Grand Forks and Stratles the Granby River road as well as the Granby River. The geographical coordinates of the property are 49O2'8" N. Latitude and 118O27' E. Longitude. The National Topographic System map number is 82E/lW. The property is situated in the Greenwood mining division of the Similkameen Yale land district of British Columbia. The property has been government surveyed for location accuracy.

General Geology: The regional geology was mapped and is well indicated by G.S.C. map 6-1957 Kettle River (East Half). The property is underlain by Monashee and Grand Forks Groups of Rocks of Paragneiss; minor crystalline limestone and pegmatite of Proterozoic age, the rocks are intruded uy Nelson intrusion of granodiorite; porphyritic granite, diorite monzonite; and quartz monzonite and quartz monzonite of Mesozoic age. The limestone in the Monashee and Grand Forks Group is intruded by Syenite. The principle granitic rock occurs as a medium grained slightly porphyritic biotite quartz monzonite. The regional magnetic map 34876 32E/1 for this area shows no anomilous Features.

Topography and The property is located just north of the Physiography: Kettle River basin to wilich the Granby Hiver flows, to the north east lies the Christina Mountain Range and to the west lies Goat Mountain. The property's elevation is 1.800 feet the terain is mild with a two hundred foot rise at the south end of the 1.500'foot long clai

Property Status: The property consists of a single two post reverted Crown Granted Mineral Claim. The claims legal name isljoonliaht Lot 16 ihe claims record number is 3932. and date is lwvember 23, 1993. A: present the claims expiry date IS November 28, 1984. This date is open for extension for a minimum period uf one year. The claim is owned aqd operate, by Emerald Star Mining Explorations Ltd.. the company holds a 100% non-reversionary interest. The claims legal surveyed size is 51.65 hectares. The claim lies in the Greenwood Mining district and the S.D.Y.D. Land District.

Property The property is underlain by limestone intruded Description: by syenite. Chalcopyrite and pyrite occur in epithermal or contact metamorphic zones of the limestone syenite contacts. The property's geological environment makes readily available the potential for Tungsten minerals such as Scheelite. As mentioned in "Results of Previous Exploration Work". of this report under "geochemistry". two very promising Tungsten assays were reportedly taken off an old mine located a few hundred metres east of the Moonlight property. As also mentioned in "Geochemistry", much of the rock assayed a half ounce of silver per ton. Which suggests a potential for precious metals. The author is not aware Qf any precious metal assays available on the property or of any previous precious metal exploration. -5-

Reconnaissance Survey: The author visited the propertySept 1st 1984. The purpose of the visit was to assess the property for possible rnineral- ized tailings and/or surficially deposited ore which could be of commercial value. The examination led to four samples being taken for analysis. Analytical analyses were performed by Acme Analytical Laboratories (852 E. Hastings St.,Vancouver B.C.). Analytical Methodology and results obtained are appended, along with a 1:5000 scale property map illustrating sample locations. No apparent anomilous results were obtained from samples assayed. Where applicable, the sampling procedure of tailings consisted of bulk sampling approximately 150 pounds of sample, then cone quartering and sectioning it to a ten pound sample. Various sampling from outcroppings were also selected for assay. -6-

Conclusion: The property lies in the historic Greenwood Mining Division. This area has recently become a renewed focus of exploration for precious metals with aggressive ground acquisition and is extensively staked by Kettle River Resources, among others. The claim area has an historic record of base metal mineralization with government reports (Mineral Inventory Maps) recognizing this potential. Subsequent work (1971) focused on base metal potential, being prior to the recent rise in precious metal prices. It appears that no systematic exploration for precious metal potential was undertaken. Despite favorable setting, geology location and access, plus proximity to recent precious metal discoveries, the property has not been adequately assessed for gold and silver content consolidation of the property and a systematic exploration program for precious metals as well as Tungsten minerals, particularly of epithermal or contact metamorphic origin is w a :'ranted .
