Technical Report
- Lewes River Project claims cover over four kilometres of the favourable contact between the Whitehorse Batholith and the sedimentary rocks of the Laberge and Lewes River Group rocks
- Past drilling (1969) intersected 40 metres of 1.04% Copper including 12 metres of 2.04% Copper
- Drill targets on the property have been defined where there are coincident chargeability anomalies and magnetic embayments consistent with known mineralization styles in the Whitehorse Copper Belt
- The WCB has documented historical production in excess of 11 million tonnes grading on average 1.1 per cent copper, 0.63 gram per tonne gold and 7.98 g/t silver from at least 12 deposit
- Additional known mineralized skarn zones are under active exploration elsewhere in the belt by others
