knowledge of historical production it can only be beneficial for the Company and our shareholders
as we continue to build our gold and copper portfolio”
The historic Athabasca Mine was discovered in 1896 and had intermittent production through the
early 1900s. Total production was 41,779 tonnes mined and 20,219 tonnes milled at an average
milled grade of 30 g/t gold, 10 g/t silver and with minor credit s of lead, zinc and copper. Gold
occurs as predominantly as free grains and also within su lphide minerals in quartz veins ranging
from 0.3 to 1.5 metre widths (BC Minfile 082FSW168).
The claims are host to the northeast portion of the historic California Mine, including the Level 3
adit. The mineralization, which is hosted in 2 parallel quartz veins of 0.3 to 1.0 metre width within
a 30 metre shear zone, has been developed on 3 levels by 650 metres of drifts. From 1910 to 1949,
the California Mine produced 1462 tonnes of direct shipping ore grading 13.4 g/t gold and 84.3 g/t
silver (BC Minfile 082FSW169).
The Princess claim hosts undocumented historic workings exp osing disseminated to massive,
banded sulphides and magnetite. Drilling of a single hole at the Princess showing by previous
