the Camp Creek copper corridor. Structural mapping and soil‐rock geochemistry at the Chivas zone

and relogging of select core from the Glenfiddich z one were also conducted. The objective of the

claim blocks were at one time or another covered by staking during surges of exploration in B.C.

dating from the 1940’s to present day. Largely the claims appear to have been minimally explored

with little follow‐up. However, some work was reco rded on several claims with results for stream

sediment sampling showing anomalous to highly anomalous results for gold in a few areas. These

areas were recommended for detailed follow‐up, howe ver due to a previous commodity price

downturn no further work was recorded.

Prominent among early discoveries in the Omineca re gion were the nearby Lustdust/Stardust

property (Sun Metals Corp. TSXV: SUNM) covering a l arge, coherent integrated porphyry‐skarn‐

manto, epithermal system; the Kwanika property (Ser engeti Resources Inc./POSCO Daewoo TSXV:

SIR) a promising advanced stage copper‐gold project ; the Lorraine property (Teck Resources and

Sun Metals) host to a significant coppergold NI 43‐ 101 compliant resource. The Surge tenures are
