BIRKEN 3-8 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 3-8 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 Pacific, 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 six claims: Birken 3 (Tenure # 940489), Birken 4 (Tenure # 940509), Birken 5 (Tenure # 940510), Birken 6 (Tenure # 940513), Birken 7 (Tenure # 940514) and Birken 8 (Tenure # 940515). Claims 4-8 can be accessed from Portage Road and Birken 8 can also be accessed by a trail from the communication towers at 0529780 E, 5597000 N. Birken 3 can only be accessed by helicopter at this time, but we may build a trail to Birken 3 sometime in the future. Avalanche Creek can be accessed directly from Portage Road by hiking under the railroad bridge and ascending the creek directly or by parking further east on Portage Road near a small road that leads to the railway tracks (north of Portage Road). This small road leads to the railway tracks and then to a steep cat road that ascends the hill to a large area that has recently been excavated near Avalanche Creek. We've been unable to determine the reason for this excavation, but it may be a way to protect the power lines or the railway from floods or avalanches that appear to come down the creek regularly. We only ascend this creek in the fall during a dry spell. Any other time of the year the water is too high or the danger of avalanches is extreme. We have found good evidence that the avalanches pour out of the canyon and spread down the creek and over the banks on either side and they may cover large portions of the fan at any time in the winter, spring or early summer, particularly if there is a warm spell and/or heavy rains. We have seen black bear droppings in this area but the droppings are rare and no bears have been seen yet on these claims. Nevertheless, 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, but they could be present. The many deer found on these hillsides 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 the spring and summer. 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 7 such 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 may be no obvious main stream course present. Flash floods may occur during times of heavy rain and/or rapid snow melt. 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 and the Hurley Formation both of which consist 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, slates, quartz diorite and some breccia float. This report covers a total of 48 geochemical samples including 18 bedrock samples, 9 rock float samples, 8 soil samples, 12 sediment samples and one panned sample. To date no mineral deposit of economic or commercial value has been found on the Birken claims. 8. HISTORY OF THE BIRKEN CLAIMS In March, 2011, Karl Ricker visited me at home and proposed that we look into the area around a new mineral find that contained copper, gold, platinum and palladium near the Birkenhead River. We examined the claims, topographical and geological maps of the area and decided to drive some of the roads once they were free of snow. While we waited for the snow to melt we did more map work and decided that if this mineral find was related to an intrusion then our best chances of finding an extension was to prospect the quartz diorite, sedimentary and volcanic rocks to the east of the mineral find. On June 21, 2011 Karl and I drove to the Old Portage Road and prospected the area including some of the old logging roads on the west side of the Birkenhead River.
