SUMMARY 1. Soil sampling on the Long B Claims, Texada Island, was carried out between April 15 and April 27, 1985. The claims are owned by E. Johanson, R. Mickle and J.E. Newman. Some of the area has undergone juvenile forest spacing. 2. Previous work includes old trenches and pits on irregular chalcopyrite - bearing silicified zones and quartz veins. Recent surveys conducted by the present owners include SP, and limited soil sampling. Several small pits were blasted out for assessment purposes in 1985. 3. A total of 115 soil samples and 5 rock geochem samples were taken during the examination. Results indicate anomalous gold in soils in the Southeast Areas and along the Upper Creek showings. Soil profiles in the c; Southeast -Zone show highly anomalous conditions increasing with depth to definite cut-offs. The southern contact between the intrusive and volcanics is characterized by a high gold in soil content and was covered by detail fill-in soil samples in 1985. 4. Rock samples across short widths (less than 3Ocm) have previously assayed up to 0.59 oz/ton gold in copper-rich sections. Gold values attain 0.362 oz/ton in the present chip sampling over 30 to 60cm.

5. The claims are underlain by a granodiorite to quartz diorite stock in contact with altered Karmutsen Formation mafic-rich volcanics. Chlorite and epidote alteration is common near the intrusive contact. The area is within a weak porphyry copper system and some of the precious metal values could be related to peripherial zoning of this extensive mineralizing event. 6. Anomalous gold values in soil samples, SP, magnetics and VLF EM suggest a relatively narrow linear zone trending 288", marked by silicified and pyritized rocks in the Southeast Area. Discontinuous exposure of siliceous zones in the Upper Creek Area indicates a narrow mineralized trend nearly perpendicular to the cj Southeast linear. The higher gold-in-soils near the south intrusive-volcanic contact found in 1981 were checked by detail follow-up sampling in 1985. Highly anomalous areas should be exposed by hand trenching and may warrant backhoe trenching. INTRODUCTION Between April 15 and April 27, 1985, the Long Beach Claim Group, Texada Island, was examined. A total of 5 rock chips and 115 soil samples were collected and delivered to Acme Analytical Labs. The property is underlain by a composite quartz diorite to granodiorite stock in contact with altered Karmutsen Formation mafic volcanics. The area has been mapped by R.G. McConnell in 1908 and 1909 at 1:126,720. J. Muller has included Texada Island in his work on Vancouver Island which is compiled as Geological Survey of Canada Open File 463. Extensive prospecting was conducted throughout Texada Island beginning in the 1870’s and particularly between 1890 and 1910. The first recorded work in the Long Beach Area is in 1950 by D.W. Cochran who excavated the Upper Creek trenches (Minister of Mines 1950, pages 178 - 180). LI2 A large claim block was located by R. Samuelson and R. Mickle in late 1969 and optioned to Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. (Wares 1971). Part of this old property encompasses the present Long B Claims and was referred to as the Airstrip Grid. Work by present owners included limited SP, magnetometer and soil sampling. Small hand pits have been blasted into areas of anomalous SP values.

Several small high grade copper-gold mines operated in . the early 1900’s near Vananda. The Marble Bay Mine produced about 314,000 tons of ore for a total of 50,000 oz. of gold. The main shaft reached a depth of 1,200 feet. Recently, Texada Iron Mines produced copper-iron concentrate from a magnetite skarn deposit from between 1952 and 1976, yielding, approximately, from 20 million tons of ore averaging 33% iron, a total of 25,000 02. of gold. Currently there is a substantial output of limestone for cement and other uses by Lafarge, Ideal, Domtar and Imperial . In late 1984, spectacular specimens of coarse gold from a narrow quartz vein on the Holly Crown grant near Kirk Lake, were discovered in place. This claim was optioned to Northair Mines Ltd. in January 1985 and a diamond drill u program was completed in early May 1985. Results are to be released shortly. Many new claims have been located recently. 2

The claims are situated around the Cheekye-Dunsmuir high voltage transmission line that is under Mineral Reserve o/c 574 79:03:01 subject to conditions. Access is by improved hydro road to the transmission line area and then by old logging roads into the property as shown in Figures 2 and 4. The main showings are 19 km southeast of the Gillies Bay Airstrip. The old roads are passable with difficulty by two wheel drive vehicle but a 4 x 4 is advisable. Parts of the claim group have undergone juvenile forest spacing and future line cutting will be time consuming.

FIELD PROCEDURES The soil lines were run with a Silva compass and roughly measured for slope corrections by a Belt Chain calibrated in meters for which the manufacturer claims a 0.196 accuracy. A baseline was established in 1985 starting at the 1981 sample site of 150w + 270s. The baseline was cut out with a chainsaw and trends 250'. Lines are 50m apart trending 160"and are marked by many orange flags with stations in numbered blue flagging. Soil samples were taken at 10m intervals from the B horizon at depths ranging between 40 and 90cm by a grubhoe and shovel. Samples were put in waterproof Kraft bags and delivered to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd., 852 E. Hastings St., Vancouver. Standard soil data sheets were filled out in the field noting such items as sample number, location, depth, horizon, colour, particle size, 96 organics, pH, slope, vegetation and additional remarks. Analytical procedures are outlined in Appendix IV. Rock samples were taken as continuous chips over short intervals. Rock description are shown in Appendix V;. cj Results are plotted on Figure 10 (in pocket) using Hip Chain traverses between soil lines for control.Outcrop position was also plotted on airphoto BC 78032 No. 137.

GEOLOGY The regional geology of Texada Island is relatively simple as shown on Figure 5. Upper Paleozoic Sicker Formation volcanics, volcanoclastic sediments, and limestone are exposed on the extreme south tip. Most of the Island is underlain by Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation amygdaloidal, pillowed to massive basalt, breccia and aquagene tuff. This is overlain by a massive Upper Triassic limestone (Quatsino Formation) which occurs mainly in a .belt extending across the north end of the Island. Five stocks of quartz diorite to diorite are exposed on the coastline. One of these stocks along Long Beach partially hosts the copper-gold showings on the Long B claims. Near Gillies Bay a fault block of Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group coarse clastics has been preserved. 3

Wares (1971) describes the quartz diorite stock north of the Long B area as a "composite granodiorite intrusion". However, most of intrusive exposures mapped by Wares are identified as quartz diorite. The few granodiorite outcrops could possibly be the result of potassic feldspar alteration as observed on the Long B claims. Alteration appears to vary considerably over short distances. In one locality an intensely chloritized and K-spar rich rock is adjacent to relatively fresh biotite-hornblende diorite. Karmutsen Formation volcanics were seen in the Upper Creek area and near the 3E identification post for Long B25.These are dark green, very fine grained chloritized and epidotized greenstones. Occasionally 2 to 9mm feldspar phenocrysts were seen on weathered surfaces. Limited geological observations are plotted on Figure 10 (in pocket). A very pyritic, volcanic agglomerate- -breccia was noted 65 meters southwest of 150W + 00. Dark, polymictic, subangular, fine grained fragments averaging 1 to 2cm in diameter predominate. Occasionally clasts range up to 25cm in diameter. This rock contains about 596 pyrite dj but assayed 5ppb gold. The volcanic-intrusive contact is well exposed in the Main Creek striking 343" and dipping steeply to the west. This contact is sharp with some suggestion of a narrow, banded, chilled margin. A large quartz vein has been uncovered by trenching adjacent to the contact hosted by diorite. The vein structure passes westward into volcanics and becomes progressively less well defined. To the west and south a prominent topographic feature is a line of 30 to 40 meter high cliffs. These cliffs do not mark the volcanic-intrusive contact but rather start about lOOm within the volcanic terrain. All intrusive specimens are moderately to strongly magnetic whereas the volcanics are non-magnetic. Pyrite occurs in the Southeast Area in small lenses up to 15 - 20%, as 3 - 5mm stringers and thin fracture fillings. LEGEND

MINERALIZATION Several showings of various dimensions are known on the claims mainly within the intrusive but also in the Upper Creek zone passing into the volcanics, as shown on Figures 6, 7 and 10 (in pocket). King (1950) describes three showings that were sampled with the following results:

Quartz Vein Thi cknes s Gold Content Number 3 Vein width 12 inches 0.56 oz/ton gold

Southeast showing width 8 inches 0.39 oz/ton gold Main or Upper Creek width 14 inches 0.22 oz/ton gold Area Chip samples by D.A. Harron in 1980 show gold values over narrow widths up to 0.476 oz/ton gold in the chalcopyrite-rich Upper Creek showing. The old Southeast Vein mentioned by King (1950) has not been positively identified. However, the zone now referred to as the Southeast Area is somewhat farther along l'strikell from the apparent location of the 1950 work. The Upper Creek Zone is reported by King as follows: "The main vein, on which most of the work has been done, is in a creek near the centre of the group and has been traced nearly 210 feet by rock trenches and stripping. The vein is in a straight definite fracture that strikes north 22 degrees east and dips 66 degrees northwest between walls of andesite slightly mineralized with pyrite. The vein filling is of quartz mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite, and secondary bornite. Rock chips taken in this examination confirm the concept of gold values in two main, narrow, linear zones as shown by Samples 80976A to 80980A (Appendix V). This type of mineralization is to be expected on the periphery of a large porphyry copper-molybdenum system as outlined by Falconbridge (Wares 1971). The tonnage potential of the narrow linear zones outlined to date, appear to be limited. However, more significant would be the location of the \ \ \ L;EION \

bedrock source for the high gold in soil values that have been found in the Southeast Area and at the south contact between the volcanics and intrusive. It is also possible that these high gold in soils are related to the porphyry copper system gold enrichment and inherent high mobility of metals in the presence of abundant pyrite decomposition.

GEOCHEMISTRY In February 1980 D.A. Harron collected soil samples near the high SP readings in the Southeast Area. Most of these samples show anomalous copper values with some high Mo and a few anomalous gold up to 570 ppb Au. A total of 129 soil samples were taken in 1981 examination as plotted on Figures 6, 7, and 10 (in pocket). Soil development is illustrated by two soil profiles, Figures 8 and 9, that were located around the small pits dug for previous assessment purposes on high SP results. In 63 profile 1 , Figure 8, gold content increases and then decreases with depth indicating a transported origin of the soil.. This is not surprising since the sampled area is within a wooded stable talus slope. Profile 2, Figure 9, shows a marked increase of gold with depth but a single sample in the lower forward part of the pit gives a much lower value. Other metals do not exhibit any trends through the profile, and cold extraction results are uniformly low. Presumably, hydromorphic dispersion is low in this area. Lead is the only exception with a high cold extractable content in the upper organic rich layer. The usual truncated population distribution for gold in soil is exhibited by the histogram in Appendix IV. A threshold value of 40 ppb Au is used considering the normal sample inhomogeneity of sieved samples and reproducibility of atomic absorption for gold. Soil samples near the Upper Creek showings were taken on two short lines as plotted on Figure 7. Gold values are near or below threshold. In contrast soils in the Southeast show, Figure 6, several sample sites with highly anomalous Au content. High gold values in soil along the Southeast Area SP zone have migrated some distance downslope as indicated by talus development and soil profiles. Soil lines established up slope from the Southeast Area give anomalous gold values on Lines 3OOE and 150E.

contact is indicated by five strongly anomalous samples on Line 150E between 330s and 450s and two anomalous sites 390s and 420s on Line 00. The samples on Line 00 mark the topographic change between the 30 meter high volcanic cliffs and the relatively uniform steep hill-side mainly underlain by intrusive. Samples taken in 1985 as plotted on Figure 10 (in pocket) show a number of highly anomalous areas between the three lines done in 1981. Of particular significance are the following zones: I Line 50E + 300s - high gold-in-soil up to 2300 PPb Au I1 Lines ZOOW, 150W and 1OOW from 360 to 370s I11 Line 200E + 320s to 350s To fully delineate soil anomaly 11, Lines ZOOW, 150W and 1OOW should be extended a further 100 meters and samples collected at 10 meter intervals. This is a strong multi-line anomaly. The anomaly centered on line 50E at 300s requires limited hand trenching to locate the probably nearby source. Once the zone of interest has been exposed a decision can be made to bring in a bulldozer for further stripping. The anomaly on line 2OOW is more diffused and ground conditions should be checked for a transported origin of the gold values.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Attention in the past, around the Long B Claim Group, has focused on the definition of narrow gold-bearing silicified zones and quartz veins. Several gold-bearing zones have been outlined in the Upper Creek and Southeast Areas. The western portion of the claims is characterized by an altered intrusive contact between a composite granitic pluton and Karmutsen Formation chloritic basalt. Local areas of intense chlorite, kaolin and potassic alteration are common with-in the intrusion. Silicification appears to be accompanied by abundant pyrite in lenses and heavy disseminations.

SP and VLF EM surveys indicate zones of anomalous response that correlate with sulphide-rich areas on surface. High gold-in-soil values are found in the Southeast Area, however, these results are thought to have migrated downslope and the bedrock source should be traced up hill. The area is covered by stable wooded talus sheets. Dr. R.B. Band in Wares (1971) comments that: "Steep slopes and generally sparse vegetation cover resulting from a recent (19673) forest fire favours mechanical down slope dispersion of the soil." The extent of downslope migration of gold values was evaluated by additional soil sampling in 1985. This area is not spatially associated with the narrow structure in the Southeast Area and should be considered as a separate zone. The 1985 work has indicated several subareas that warrant follow-up hand trenching. If hand trenching is successful in locating covered precious metal sources then mechanized trenching with a bulldozer will be required. Future work should concentrate on differentiating between scattered, small gold veins associated with normal porphyry copper deposit zoning and a potentially large, new gold zone associated with the volcanic-intrusive contact. An exploration program to further investigate the copper-gold showings and soil anomalies on the Long B Claims is recommended and summarized below. The estimated cost of such a program is tabulated in Appendix VIII.

Future exploration should consist of: (1) geological mapping and prospecting of the entire claim block, (a) reconnaissance fashion over all claims 1 :10,000

(b) more detailed mapping near showings 1:2500 These data will serve as a basis for a property inventory to assign priorities for mineralized areas. Information from previous Falconbridge work will be useful. Particular attention should be paid to faults and airphoto linears. -9-

(2) Hand trenching at specific locations (3) EM 16 (VLF) Survey to delineate faults and map structure (4) Contingent on the results of the above program bulldozer trenching may be required. A notice of work must be filed with the Department of Mines Inspector prior to work commencing.
