COMPANY UPDATE
Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade”) reports that it i s finalizing exploration plans
for 2018 on four of its properties. Three propertie s are in the Stewart area and one in the
Terrace BC area. The property areas are in the Gol den Triangle of British Columbia which is
among the world’s most prolific mineralized distric ts, host to past and current mining
operations including Scottie Gold, Porter – Idaho, Johnny Mountain, Red Mountain, Snip
Mine, Premier Mine, Golden Bear and Valley of the K ings. The Golden Triangle has reported
mineral resources (past production and current reso urces) in total of 67 million oz of gold,
569 million oz of silver and 27 billion pounds of c opper. Pretium is milling in excess of 2700
tonnes per day from the Valley of Kings deposit. It has 1.6 million ounces gold in the proven
category (grade 14.5 g/t) and 6.5 million ounces in the probable category (16.1 g/t grade)
(Pretium website). Seabridge has 460 million tonnes grading 0.68 g/t gold and 0.17 % copper
in the proven category as well as 1,738 million ton nes grading 0.51 g/t gold and 0.22 %
copper in the probable category. This reserve is wi thin 4 different deposits ( Seabridge
website)
Properties to be explored by Decade include the fo llowing:
Red Cliff
Mapping in 2017 indicates that precious and base me tals mineralization occurring on the
property are spatially associated with trachytes. T hese have an aphanitic to porphyritic
texture and are often weakly to moderately magnetic . Their black colour derives from
alteration products which include Fe-rich, almost b lack chlorite along with fine-grained
disseminated magnetite and pyrite. They are difficu lt to identify in the field. Most of the
trachyte/latite occurrences present within the mapp ed area were identified by using a
combination of staining by sodium cobaltinitrite an d thin sections examination. Trachyte/latite
occurs within a 50 to 80 metres wide horizon which has been traced for approximately 2.0 km
open to the north. They do not form a single, clear ly defined intrusion but rather many
smaller, discrete intrusions. The Company plans to test the south limit of identified
mineralization, particularly from the recent Waterp ump drill results. Highlights of the latest
assays received include:
• Intersection of 13.88 g/t gold over 7.5 m in DDH-17-M0N-38.
• Intersection of 10.41 g/t gold over 22.87 m in DDH-17-M0N-40.
• Intersection of 7.21 g/t gold over 7.16 m in DDH-17-M0N-41.
A data base with GPS locations for all holes as wel l as the elevations has been established.
This data in conjunction with all the drill hole as says will be used to create a new model that
shows gold grade shells. In addition all additional assays (cutting extra core) from previous
holes have been entered into the data base. At pres ent all the geological cross-sections are
being redone to make them identified rock units com patible with surface mapping. The
Company will also use the existing 2007-2012 and 20 16-2017 data to prepare a preliminary
resource calculation for the Montrose zone, including the Waterpump zone.
Bow Property
The Company plans to follow up on its 2016 gold-cob alt results on the Bow property. Drilling
on the Bend vein yielded some of the following:
• 12.93 g/t Au and 0.19 % Co over 4.58 m in DDH 2016 BOW-3
• 21.8 g/t Au and 0.227 % Co over 5.8 m in DDH 2016 BOW-5
East of the above drilling, the vein has been expos ed over a 75 m length. A total of 11 grab
samples of sulphide rich material assayed from 1.2 to 41.67 g/t gold over the strike length of
the exposed vein. Average of the samples was 12.47 g/t Au, 147.11 g/t Ag and 0.12 % Co.
Two samples with semi-massive arsenopyrite assayed 33.87 and 41.67 g/t gold with a high
of 0.49 % Co in one of the samples.
Plans include detailed sampling of the vein, furthe r trenching and if warranted, more drilling.
Georgia River Property
Narrow quartz veins with pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena , sphalerite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and
electrum (gold-silver alloy) occur along northerly trending fault zones. Marked gold
enrichment with an increase in quartz veining occur s along the northerly shears in areas
associated with their intersection with earlier nor thwest veins. To date, a total of 18 vein
systems have been discovered on the property of whi ch 8 are wide NW trending quartz veins
and 8 are later northerly trending gold bearing vei ns. Of the identified eight north trending
veins, only one, called the Southwest vein has been explored to any great extent. Within it,
there are 3 main zones (called Zone 1, 2 and 3) of gold bearing quartz veins where it
intersects the earlier quartz veins. To date, only 1 of the above gold bearing zones along the
Southwest vein has been explored in detail. The Sou thwest vein has been exposed by
trenching and drilling for a strike length of at le ast 595 m over a vertical distance of at least
258 m. It has also been explored by two adits 85 me tres apart topographically; the No. 1
level has been drifted along 47.8 m of the vein whi le the No. 2 has drifted for 155.5 m along
the vein. From a small stope on the No 2 level, a t otal of 454 tonnes were mined and milled
in 1937, yielding 10,200 grams Au, 12,705 grams Ag and 3312 kg Pb at an average grade of
22.56 g/t Au, 28.11 g/t Ag and 0.73 % Pb.
Based on underground sampling of the No 1 and 2 lev els, surface trenching and 95 surface
drill holes, a resource was calculated for the prop erty. The reported total combined resources
at Georgia River include 290,272 tonnes grading 28. 7 grams per tonne gold. (BC Minfile
report). The resource is non 43-101 compliant and has not be en verified by the Company. E
Kruchkowski, President of the Company performed most of the exploration work from 1980 to
1989 on the property and can verify on the validity of the obtained data in that period.
Highlights of past drilling include:
• 13.53 g/t over 2.98m in DDH-20-11
• 69.49 g/t over 2.44 m in DDH-GM-20
The Company plans a drill program in 2018.
Treasure Mountain property
The outcrops are strongly leached of copper which m akes copper mineralization very difficult
to detect by prospecting or soil sampling. Outcrops are often so strongly leached that there is
no sign of high grade copper mineralization on the surface which can only be found after
removing the first 10-15 cm of barren rock. Highlights of 2017 sampling include:
• 22.7 g/t Au, 1.14% Cu and 35.8 g/t Ag from a new sh owing that is a partially
exposed shear in an overburden covered area.
• 9.98 g/t Au and 1.51% Cu from a grab sample from an old trench.
• A weighted average of 3.37% copper and 30.68 g/t silver from nine chip samples.
The company plans an IP geophysical survey over the area of high copper values and
trenching to expose the gold bearing zone.
