ABSTRACT

In 1987, Northwind Ventures Ltd. of Calgary acquired the exciting

Ericksen-Ashby property in the Tulsequah area of British Columbia. The

claims are situated adjacent to the Tulsequah Chief, Big Bull, and Polaris

Taku workings, (past producing mines), which are currently under intensive

re-evaluation by Cominco and Redfern Resources.

Previous mining in the area resulted in significant precious metals

production from the Polaris Taku (750,000 tons grading 0.308 oz/ton Au) and

the Tulsequah Chief (1.03 million tons grading 0.092 oz/ton Au and 3.3

oz/ton Ag) (Preliminary Map No. 64, "Gold in British Columbia", B.C.

Minister of Mines).

Mineralized occurrences, consisting of base metals with gold and silver

values, are considered to be replacement bodies in sheared volcanics or

skarn in limestone, related to quartz-feldspar porphyry bodiez (Souther,

1971). Alternatively, they have been considered to be massive sulphide

volcanogenic deposits (Payne, 1979).

Zones 2 and 2s on the Ericksen-Ashby property, which contain anomalous

gold values, have not been successfully drilled due to precipitous topog-

raphy and lack of a ready source of water.

The 1987 exploration program consisted of emplacing two flagged grids,

soil geochemical sampling, geological mapping (1:1,250 scale), and VLF-EM

surveying. In addition, reconnaissance geological mapping, stream silt

sampling, and detailed lithogeochemical sampling of gossans were also

completed outside the grid area. Re-sampling of several old trenches and

sampling of gossanous areas were completed in the area southeast of the adit.

Ericksen-Ashby

The program was designed to allow sampling and mapping of gossanous

areas in precipitous topography by utilizing the expertise of professional

climbers.

Massive sulphFde mineralization is considered to be skarn-related with

both lithological and structural controls. Similar type deposits in the

literature show zonation in metal ratios and in mineralogy associated with

porphyry dyke systems which can have up to 5 km of strike extent. Total

zinc and lead grades tend to be highest in positions distal to postulated

granite porphyry intrusions and associated hydrothermal systems.

High gold values to 0.40 oz/ton were reported by Cominco (1951) from

Zone 2. In 1987, limited sampling from this zone again returned anomalous

gold values (one sample taken from Zone 2s at the limestone/andesite contact

returned 876 ppb Au).

Encouraging gold values were found from several locations south of Zone

2s and include values of 26,200 and 2,320 ppb respectively were returned

from silicified andesite and skarn outcrops. In addition, encouraging gold

values of 2,360 and 428 ppb were yielded by soil and silt samples collected

from the southern portion of the property.

It is recommended that magnetic and MaxMin electromagnetic surveys be

completed over selected portions of the existing grids and that geological

mapping, rock sampling, and trenching be carried out to further delineate

gold occurrences located in 1987. Following the completion of this prelim-

inary work, a diamond drilling program consisting of 1,500 metres of coring

should be completed on Zones 2 and 2s. The total program is estimated to

cost $560,000.

INTRODUCTION

Taiga Consultants Ltd. was contracted by Northwind Ventures Ltd. to

undertake a geological evaluation of the Ericksen-Ashby property and to

design a Phase I1 drilling program with particular attention to pre-drilling

preparation (holding pond emplacements, drill pad construction, etc.).

Phase I field work consisted of the emplacement of two flagged grids (with

slope correction), soil geochemical sampling (Au, Ag, Pb, Zn), geological

mapping (1:1,250 scale), and VLF-EM surveying. Reconnaissance geological

mapping, stream silt sampling, and detailed lithogeochemical sampling of

gossan zones was also undertaken outside the grid areas. Resampling of

several old trenches within the Grizmo Grid and additional sampling of

gossanous areas were also completed in the area southeast of the adit.

Pro~ertv Status

The Ericksen-Ashby property is located within the Atlin Mining Division

on N.T.S. map-sheet 104-K/ll W (Figures 1 and 2, Map 5). The property

comprises 14 contiguous mineral claims totalling 217 units, covering

approximately 5,425 hectares (13,406 acres). The claim status is enumerated

in the table overpage.

Assessment work requirements under "Mineral Act Regulations (B.C. Reg

587/77) necessitate an exploration expenditure of $100/unit for the first

three years and $200/unit for each subsequent year; plus a recording fee of

$5 for each $100 of exploration and development work recorded.

Yearly assessment requirements for the property is $22,550 increasing

to $44,485 for year 4. These claims would be protected to the anniversary

date in 1992 by an expenditure of $112,135.

Location and Access

The property is situated 4 km east of the abandoned town of Tulsequah

and 7 km east of an airfield located on the banks of the Tulsequah River.

The Taku River bisects the property with the 'Yellow Bluff' to the north and

a prominent north-south trending ridge culminating in 'Mount Ericksen' to

the south.

The property is located 60 km northeast of Juneau, Alaska. Supplies

and helicopter service may be obtained either from Juneau or from Atlin,

B.C., 120 km to the north, while commercial jet and DC3 service is available

from Whitehorse, 260 km to the north-northeast.

A regular river boat service was maintained between Tulsequah and

Juneau from 1931 to 1957 when mining operations ceased from the Polaris Taku

and then the Tulsequah Chief and Big Bull Mines. The Taku River is

navigable by tug and barge from tidewater to the property.

Commercial salmon fishing camps are located on the Taku River upstream

of the Tulsequah River confluence.

A Taiga Consultants crew mobilized from Calgary to Whitehorse on August

18, 1987, and then was flown by DC3 to the Tulsequah airfield. Camp

supplies were then slung by 206B Jet Ranger helicopter (Capital Helicopters

of Atlin) up to an old campsite, just east of a pond at the 823 m (2700')

elevation contour.

The property lies within the northwest trending Boundary Range of the

Coast Mountains and is transected by a wide valley occupied by the Taku

River (Figure 3). This southwest trending flat-bottomed valley averages 2

km in width. Tributaries flowing through the property (notably Ericksen and

Kwashona Creeks) have their source in rock glacier or ice fields respec-

tively. Alpine glaciation has sculpted jagged spires and narrow saw-tooth

ridges. Local relief varies from 30 m (100') at the Taku River to 1900 m

(6500') at Mount Ericksen.

Tree line is situated at 900 m (3000') above which elevation outcrop is

plentiful. Below tree line, outcrop is poor with very dense undergrowth of

willow, tag alders, and devil's club. A mature coniferous rain forest at

300m (10001), south of the Taku River, contains very dense devil's club.

Pleistocene glaciation has left U-shaped valleys with over-steepened

walls, truncated spurs, and hanging tributary valleys. After the Cordil-

leran ice shield had retreated, alpine glaciers may have receded and

disappeared entirely (Souther, 1971). They were rejuvenated and reached a

maximum about the middle of the nineteenth century (Matthes, 1942) and have

gradually retreated with interrupted lesser advances.

PREVIOUS WORK

(after Adamson, 1987)

The history of economic activities (Figure 4) in the Tulsequah district has

been described by J. G. Souther (1971) in .S.C. Memoir 362 as follows:

The early history of mining and prospecting in the Taku River area was reviewed by Kerr (1948), who mentioned a record of a gold discovery along the Taku River as early as 1875. During the Klondike Rush of 1897 and 1898, the Taku was used as a route of entry to the interior and this led to extensive prospecting of the country accessible from Taku Valley. In 1923, the Tulsequah Chief property was discovered on the east side of Tulsequah River, and active development of the property in 1929 attracted prospectors who staked claims. Those which were later to become the Big Bull and Polaris Taku mines were both discovered in 1929, as were the Ericksen-Ashby and several other smaller properties situated in the lower part of Taku Valley.

Early attempts at development were abandoned and it was not until 1937 that the Whitewater property was brought into production as the Polaris Taku mine. It continued to operate until 1951, during which time a total of 719,336 tons of ore was milled, yielding gold valued at more than $8,000,000. Following closure of the Polaris Taku mine in 1951, the mill and camp were leased to the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Limited (now Cominco Ltd.) which started production from the Big Bull (Mann- ville) and Tulsequah Chief mines that same summer. Ore from both mines was trucked to the Polaris Taku mill and concentrates shipped by barge down the Taku River to tidewater. From 1951 until production ceased in 1957 due to low metal prices, combined production from the Big Bull and Tulsequah Chief mines amounted to 1,029,089 tons of ore milled, yielding 94,254 ounces of gold, 3,400,773 ounces of silver, 13,603 tons of copper, 13,463 tons of lead, 62,346 tons of zinc, and 227 tons of cadmium.

With the advent of sharply increased precious metals prices, explora-

tion in this region was reactivated in the early 1980's. Much of the

activity during this period took place in the general drainage basin of the

Tulsequah River surrounding the three former producing mines.

The history of the Ericksen-Ashby property parallels that of explora-

tion activities in the Tulsequah district in general. In 1929, claims were

staked by prospectors Ericksen and Ashby after discovering several massive

Ericksen-Ashby 10

sulphide occurrences on the northwestern flank of Mount Ericksen. Until

1950, mineral exploration work sufficient only to maintain annual assessment

requirements was undertaken.

In 1951, the property was optioned to Cominco Ltd., then operating the

Big Bull and Tulsequah Chief mines. Cominco carried out geological mapping,

hand trenching, and surface sampling of sulphide showings. In 1952, the

company attempted to explore the uppermost mineralized zones by drilling a

long hole from Ericksen Creek. However, a rock avalanche destroyed the

drill equipment before the hole was completed, and the option was allowed to

lapse.

Little further work was done until 1963. Ericksen-Ashby Mining Co.

Ltd. was formed to carry out more definitive work. In 1963, the new company

implemented more surface exploration, directed largely at Zone 8. In 1964,

an adit was driven southeasterly adjacent to two zones (3 and 13) that were

exposed at surface. Eight underground diamond drill holes were also emplaced

from a station cut at the end of the adit. In 1965, a self-potential survey

was undertaken over the small plateau that lies north of the adit; further

surface trenching was also carried out in this area. No further work was

done by the company, and in 1975, the property was allowed to revert to the

Crown.

In 1976, the property was restaked by Mr. G. H. Rayner who optioned it

to Anglo Canadian Mining. In 1979, J. G. Payne of Stokes Exploration

Management geologically mapped the surface and underground workings in

detail. In 1980, Anglo Canadian attempted to diamond drill Zone 1, on a

relatively steep slope above the underground workings. This was not success-

ful, due to a loss of surface water for drilling. In 1981, the property was

optioned to Island Mining and Exploration. This company successfully

drilled six holes beneath Zone 1 from a single setup, and also drilled five

other holes to test two other zones (3 and 8). Two of the six holes on Zone

1 returned encouraging results; no promising sulphide intersections were cut

in the other two zones tested.

In 1987, the EA claims were optioned to Northwind Ventures Ltd. At the

same time, the company purchased the BC and Bear claims, surrounding the EA

group. Cominco Ltd. and Redfern Resources have recently cleared the Tulse-

quah airstrip, as part of their intensive re-evaluation of the Tulsequah

Chief and Big Bull mines and on their large surrounding property.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

after Nelson & Payne, 1984 (Figure 5) and Souther, 1971 (Figure 6)

The Tulsequah district is bounded by Precambrian(?) age metamorphic

rocks to the west in fault contact with Upper Paleozoic predominantly

andesitic assemblages. To the east, Paleozoic rocks are in fault contact

with unconformable volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. The

latter is overlain by sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic Takwahoni Group.

The Tertiary Sloko Group is preserved as down-faulted blocks and erosional

remnants; it overlies all older rock sequences in the area. The sequences

are intruded by Coast plutonic rocks (Triassic, Central Pluton [pre-Upper

Cretaceous], and Tertiary).

Parts of the Paleozoic volcanic-sedimentary assemblage in the Tulsequah

map-area were previously mapped as Late Triassic Stuhini Group by Souther

(Nelson and Payne, 1984). The assemblage consists of fault blocks that are

only stratigraphically continuous with each block. The Mount Strong block

may correlate with the upper section in the Sittakanay Mountain block.

Massive andesites in this block are similar to Mount Eaton and Mount

Ericksen. The Mount Stapler block contains thick sections of rhyolite.

Hence, tuffs on Mount Strong had their source from volcanic centres on the

other blocks.

Nelson and Payne interpret the Paleozoic rocks to represent an

andesitic island edifice where sedimentary basins, reefs, and rhyolite

eruptive centres developed during lulls in andesitic volcanism. Massive

sulphide mineralization occurred within the rhyolite and sedimentary

settings.

The volcanic package includes massive andesite, basaltic andesite

flows, pyroclastic breccias, tuff, and thinly bedded green tuff with minor

rhyolite and dacite. The sedimentary sequences include chert, limestone

with Pennsylvanian corals and fusilinids, limestone breccia, andesite

conglomerate, greywacke, siliceous mudstone, and mudstone.

rapid lateral changes in thickness and lithology, and consist of basal

conglomerate, andesitic flows and pyroclastics, coarse breccia, volcanic

conglomerate, greywacke, and siltstone. The basal conglomerate consists

mainly of volcanic clasts but also includes occasional clasts of gneisses,

quartzite, and granodiorite, which indicate a Precambrian(?) metamorphic and

early phase of Coast plutonic arch uplift. The volcanics are predominantly

dark green in the lower section and light green or purple in the upper

section. They may vary from subaerial flows to entirely submarine in

origin. These include pillow lavas and fragmental rocks which include

broken pillows, a result of submarine slides.

The Takwahoni Formation (part of the Labarge Group) consists of clastic

sedimentary rocks in a structurally shortening trough. Much of the debris

has been derived from volcanic terrain and includes Upper Triassic limestone

clasts. Sandstone and conglomerates differ from Stuhini sediments in that

they include a granitic source with a relatively high proportion of quartz

and potash feldspars. Collections of ammonites date these rocks as Lower to

Middle Jurassic.

The Sloko Group consists mostly of pyroclastic rocks, varying from

coarse explosion breccias and agglomerates to fine-grained banded vitric

tuffs and ignimbrites. Andesites and trachytes are more predominant than

dacite and rhyolite. Mafic flows weather rusty red or black while

pyroclastic and sedimentary rocks weather green, purple, and brown. Flows

mapped in the field are often found, by thin section examinations, to be

welded ash-flow tuffs and include accidental clasts of andesite and quartz

monzonite, the latter thought to originate from the subvolcanic basement.

Much of the Sloko Group is flat-lying or gently tilted with folds

developing in response to block faulting. Dykes of andesite to rhyolite

composition are often associated with normal faults. Circular structural

features and extreme thicknesses suggest cauldron subsidence. A gradation

from aphanitic felsite to fine-grained and then medium-grained quartz

Ericksen-Ashby 16

monzonite at the base of the Sloko pyroclastics and cross-cutting features

suggest a genetic relationship. It appears that the Sloko Group is derrved

from periodic explosive eruptions from a quartz monzonite magma. Extensive

faulting and block stoping, in cases, brought the magma in contact with the

lower volcanic accumulation.

Triassic foliated quartz diorite (including granodiorite and quartz

monzonite) exhibit a high degree of alteration (sericite, epidote, iron

oxides, and chlorite). Contact rocks are hornfels, often faulted with

shearing, brecciation, and hydrothermal alteration. Evidence suggests that

these rocks were emplaced in early Triassic time, preceding deposition of

the Stuhini Group.

The Central Plutonic Complex includes intrusive and metamorphic phases

of several different ages. Foliated granodiorite is the most common; how-

ever, on outcrop scale, there may be up to six distinct phases.

Tertiary (and Cretaceous) quartz monzonite contains predominant biotite,

commonly smoky quartz and miarolitic cavities. These appear coeval in part

with the Sloko Group volcanics.

Felsite and quartz-feldspar porphyry, thought to bear close spatial

relationship to quartz monzonite, cross cut all phases of the Coast Plutonic

Complex rocks and may occupy collapse structures. The felsites vary from

aphanitic to finely porphyritic, and have sharp contacts. In places, these

contacts may be obscured in intense hydrothermal alteration with pyritization

and dolomitization of the felsite and the intruded rock.

MINERAL DEPOSITS

after Souther, 1971 and Adamson, 1987

Within the Tulsequah District, copper is commonly found in volcanic

rocks as thin films of malachite on joint surfaces and as disseminated

chalcopyrite in shears in altered zones associated with feldspar porphyry

and quartz monzonite, and may contain significant molybdenite. Base metals

deposits, with gold and silver values, occur as replacement bodies in

sheared volcanic rocks, in skarns, and in quartz-feldspar porphyry bodies

abutting volcanic rocks in association with felsites. Alteration generally

includes silica, carbonate, albite, disseminated pyrite, and stringers of

quartz-carbonate, barite, or stibnite. Ore minerals include arsenical gold,

argentiferous galena, tetrahedrite, stibnite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite.

Souther (1971) suggests a genetic relationship between the Tertiary

intrusions and polymetallic mineralization which is zoned with respect to

the top of the intrusions. Molybdenite is found in coarse quartz monzonite

and deep-seated dykes and sills with very little wallrock alteration.

Copper and molybdenite occur in stocks and cupolas while copper, lead, and

zinc are found in adjacent altered wallrock. Veins of stibnite, barite,

chalcocite, and quartz-carbonate (with or without pyrite) occur some distance

above the actual intrusions. Altered rocks here are bleached to light buff

or greenish colour with a deep rind of rusty weathering. Replacement by

quartz-albite and carbonate has destroyed the original textures. There are

occasional large rhombs of ferrodolomite.

The Tulsequah Chief deposit (after Irvine, 1957) was discovered by pros-

pectors who were attracted by the prominent brownish-yellow bluffs cropping

out at 1600' on the steep valley wall. Massive sulphide bodies appear

localized within a main shear zone at the junction of cross fractures.

These correspond to regional faults which trend northwest and northeast.

These bodies are steeply pitching chimneys of ore with maximum dimensions of

500'x30'~1200' (Figures 7 and 8). The elongate bodies correspond to either

direction and may shift from one structure to the other along the pitch of

the ore. Sphalerite, the most abundant economic mineral, occurs as dissem-

inations in schist, as massive sulphide, or as bands and stringers replacing

massive pyrite. Chalcopyrite is intimately associated with massive pyrite

while bornite and tennantite occur as local concentrations. Alteration

consists of an inner non-siliceous sericite zone with smaller barite

anhydrite areas. The outer zone is characterized by high quartz content.

The Big Bull mine ore bodies occur adjacent to a major northwest

trending fault or in minor structures which branch from it. The

intersection of these structures forms a "V" in cross-section. The

intersection of these two planes rakes to the south at 25' controlling the

main orebody. Mineralization is similar to that of the Tulsequah Chief but

with less pyrite. Alteration extends along the main fault for a considerable

distance beyond the known limits of ore deposition as a broad siliceous

halo. A possible influence of the shallow controlling raking structure is

the projection of the base of a tuff on to the fault. The banded tuff has

contrasting competency to the massive fragmental of the mine and may have

acted as a dam to ascending mineralizing fluids.

The Polaris Taku mine is bounded by amphibolite and serpentine to the

north, and by limestone to the southwest (Smith, 1948). Gold is associated

with fine-grained arsenopyrite disseminated in altered tuffs and massive

pyroclastics and in quartz-carbonate stringers. Stibnite occurs in the same

fractures with late carbonate veins and in some cases is associated with

gold. The structural setting is complex. Third-order folds may have

resulted from the imprinting of previous folds. Shearing along the margins

of both the limestone belt and the ultrabasic intrusion developed from a

northeast-southwest compression. This may have produced a rotational shear

and favourable structures such as the "A" shear zone, north-south shear

zones, and connecting arcuate faults (Figures 9 and 10). Ore shoots within

these structures appear localized along the plunge of the third-order folds,

especially in areas of steep plunge. These appear to be zones of stretching

and flattening of intersecting vein systems, commonly producing wide bodies

of ore-grade material. These coincide with areas of altered serpentine and

high gold values in adjacent veins.

SUMMER 1987 EXPLORATION

Initial objectives of the Phase I program on the Ericksen-Ashby property were to:

1. visually prospect and geologically map the Mesozoic Stuhini Group in the Yellow Bluff area and the Paleozoic rocks on the northwest side of the Taku River

2. identify the cause of the airborne conductor

3. geologically map the local plateau area between the portal and the bluff above the Taku River (1:1,250)

4. initiate a combined magnetometer and electromagnetic (horizontal loop) survey

5. collect soil and lithogeochemical samples (for Au, Ag, Pb, Zn analysis) along geophysical lines in overburden covered areas

6. examine the Zone 2 area for a suitable diamond drill station

7. visually prospect, map, and contour soil sample the area southwest of Mount Ericksen

8. map with particular attention to structure, and chip sample known zones.

Prior to undertaking a horizontal-loop electromagnetic survey, which

would require line-cutting, chaining, and slope correction, a VLF-EM survey

was planned to test for the extension of known sulphide horizons. The goals

of this program were to:

1. define drill targets with a detailed map of drill pads

2. estimate the cost/time/effort/safety for the construction of the pads

3. estimate the length/dip/azimuth of each hole

4. determine whether it was worth the time and cost to extend the adit and initiate underground drilling.

Exploration consisted of emplacement of two flagged grids (with slope

correction), soil geochemical sampling, geological mapping (1:1,250 scale),

and VLF-EM surveying. Reconnaissance geological mapping, stream silt

sampling, and detailed lithogeochemical sampling of gossan zones was also

undertaken outside the grid areas. Resampling of several old trenches and

Ericksen-Ashby 2 4

additional sampling of gossanous areas was also completed in the area south-

east of the adit.

The program was geared to sampling and mapping gossanous areas that

were not previously sampled due to precipitous topography by utilizing the

expertise of professional climbers. The program was helicopter supported

approximately every second day with a 206B Jet Ranger based out of Atlin.

Weather conditions during the course of the program were excellent; bad

weather days were used to work on the grid adjacent to camp.

Approximately 345 soil samples were acquired and sent to TerraMin

Research Labs in Calgary and analyzed for gold, silver, lead, and zinc.

Gossans on cliffs were rock-chip sampled, logged, and submitted for

geochemical analysis.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

Payne (1979) mapped the EA 1 and 2 claims at a scale of 1:1,200 (see

Map 1). This map has been modified (from his report) to include detailed

areas of previous trenching. The property is underlain to the southwest by

late Paleozoic andesitic volcanic rocks containing minor sediments and

acidic volcanics while the northeastern half consists of Stuhini Group

volcanic rocks. The older rocks generally strike northwest and dip steeply

southwest; the younger sequence is more complexly folded (Map 1). A Creta-

ceous(?), north-northwest trending feldspar porphyry dyke-like intrusion

cuts across the late Paleozoic rocks from Stuhini Creek on the south, to the

confluence of Ericksen Creek and the Taku River on the north.

The Taku River valley, as it crosses the property, evidently is fault

controlled with both strike and dip movement indicated. Faults on the

property generally strike deeply northwest and northeast, sympathetic to the

regional structures.

In the northeast sector of the property (Yellow Bluff area), Stuhini

Group rocks are ubiquitously pyritized and limonite stained. These very

prominent bluffs on the Taku River were geophysically surveyed in 1982 with

a helicopter-borne INPUT system by Questor Surveys. A six-channel anomaly

signifying strong conductivity was recorded near the top of a fragmented

pyritic zone that lies within the Bear 2 claim. The cause of this anomaly,

which may reflect a concentration of massive sulphides, has not yet been

explained.

The Ericksen-Ashby workings consist of an adit collared at 975 m eleva-

tion and driven southeast for 150 m. To date, 27 core holes (excluding the

abortive 1952 Cominco hole) have been drilled on the property, eight from a

single site underground (Figure 30) , and eleven from three sites on

surface. Of the eight holes drilled by Ericksen-Ashby Co. Ltd., only three

sites have subsequently been re-located (Map 1).

Ericksen- Ashby 2 6

Mapping by Payne in 1979 over a length of 1650 m identified a stra.ti-

graphic section that strikes northwest to north and dips 55" to 80°SW. Two

sedimentary units occur in the section, each bounded by massive andesitic

volcanic units. The younger(?) eastern unit comprises thin to medium banded

cherts with some thin limestone beds. The older(?) western unit consists

predominantly of limestone, but with abundant andesite flows pyroclastics,

and thick wedges of chert and chert breccia. This western unit (100 to 200

m thick) hosts most of the economically interesting massive sulphide lenses

in the adit area.

A prominent northeast striking fault divides the area into two distinct

structural blocks. Northwest of the fault, the topography is relatively

moderate. A small upland plateau in this vicinity will provide 'fair'

access - helicopters can land here with relative ease, drilling water can be

trapped, and drill sites can be established with only minor difficulty.

Southeast of the structure, the terrain becomes dramatically more precip-

itous; diamond drill exploration will consequently be much more difficult to

execute from the surface.

To date, 13 sulphide zones have been identified in the adit area (Map

1). Zone 7 occurs in the eastern sedimentary unit; Zones 4, 5, 8, 10, 11,

and 12 occur in the northern structural block of the western sedimentary

unit; and Zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 13 occur in the southern block. Each

zone usually comprises several lenses or pods of various sizes.

Sulphide mineralization (pyrite with sphalerite and galena) tends to

occur in two modes: as a skarn with rhodonite, pyrrhotite, and/or magnetite

in limey rocks; and as a more stratiform replacement in cherty rocks in very

close proximity to rhyolite. In general, skarn type deposits appear to be

more common in the northern structural block than in the southern block

where rhyolite appears to be more plentiful. However, the internal strat-

igraphy of the lower half of the northern block is relatively unknown,

probably because outcrop exposures are not nearly as common as in the

southern block.

Ericksen-Ashby 2 7

The overall average grade of many representative surface samples,

collected by a number of companies over the years from all known zones, is

in the order of 6 oz/ton silver, 3% lead, and 10% zinc. The most signif-

icant mineralization encountered in drilling to date was intersected in two

of six holes drilled beneath Zone 1 from a single setup on the southern

block (Map 1). Hole 86-3 cut 20.2 m of sulphide mineralization, with the

best intercept within this section assaying 16.5 oz/ton silver, 4.94% lead,

and 4.22% zinc over 9.2 m. Hole 86-4 cut 5.1 m of sulphide mineralization

that included an intercept that assayed 18.3 oz/ton silver, 6.42% lead, and

6.2% zinc over 3.0 m. Gold assays were negligible.

Ericksen-Ashby

GEOLOGICAL MODELS

Payne (1979) outlined a geological model for the Ericksen-Ashby claims

based on a brief examination of the Tulsequah Chief and Big Bull mines. He

suggests that these ore bodies are volcanogenic, massive and disseminated

sulphide deposits associated with rhyolite which has been altered to quartz,

sericite, and pyrite. They contain abundant massive pyrite lenses, some of

which appear bedded. Coarse felsic volcanic breccias, with fragments up to

15 cm across, comprise a thick section west of the Tulsequah Chief mine, and

suggest proximity to a volcanic vent. The data also fits an alternative

geological model which may be useful in predicting potential economic

mineralized zones. A brief literature search was made of calcic zinc/lead

skarn deposits with a review of some of the better known deposits. Dominant

calc-silicate mineral assemblages define either magnesian skarn (i.e.,

dolomite replaced by forsterite and serpentine) or calcic skarn (i.e.,

limestone replaced by Fe/Ca silicates such as andradite [garnet group] and

hedenbergite [diopside series]). Deposits can then be classified on the

basis of the dominant metals. Magnesian skarn deposits of zinc/lead are

notably sparse. The following description is from Einaudi, Meinert, and

Newberry (1981):

Calcic Zn/Pb skarn deposits form in the middle to late orogenic stages of continental margin belts and are associated with granodi- oritic to granitic magmatism. These skarns are characterized by their occurrence along structural or lithological contacts at some distance from plutonic contacts, high pyroxene to garnet ratios, distinctive Mn- and Fe-rich minerals (e.g., early johannsenitic pyroxene, minor andratitic garnet, and late bustamite, rhodonite, dannemorite, and ilvaite), and the association of significant amounts of sulphides (e.g., sphalerite, galena, pyrite, pyrrhotite) with pyroxene rather than with garnet or other silicate minerals. Variations within this class may be related to distance from caus- ative plutons; proximal Zn/Pb skarns are less Mn-rich, contain more sulphides in skarn than in limestone replacement ore, and display higher garnet to pyroxene ratios and lower Pb to Cu ratios than do distal skarns. Distal Pb/Zn skarn deposits commonly contain the bulk of ore in carbonate gangue beyond the skarn zone and may be linked with certain manto and vein deposits of Pb/Zn/Ag. An important factor in the formation of Zn/Pb skarn deposits is the travel distance of hydrothermal fluids between source and reactive limestone, which results in depletion of fluids in Mg, All and Cu, and relative enrichment in Mn, Fe, Zn, and Pb.

1 TAIGA CONSLr12 T.-i.N7'S I, T l l .

Ericksen-Ashby

In a general sense, skarn deposits can be classed on the basis ,

of calc-silicate and iron oxide associations on a scale toward increasing oxidation state, with some W and Sn skarns at the reduced end and some Fe and Cu skarns at the oxidized end. Cor- relation between this scale and the sulphidation state of associated sulphides is suggested by the trend from pyrrhotite, native bismuth, and 'arsenopyrite in the more reduced skarns to large amounts of pyrite in the more oxidized skarns.

The major unifying feature of skarn deposits is their evolu- tionary style. Underlying the variation in metal content, magma association, tectonic setting, and mineralogy described above is a common pattern consisting of (1) essentially isochemical contact metamorphism accompanying emplacement of magma; (2) metasomatic skarn formation and initial ore deposition accompanying crystal- lization of the magma, initial cooling of the pluton, and evolution of an ore fluid; and (3) retrograde alteration and continued ore deposition accompanying the final cooling of the system. Mineral zoning patterns of each successive stage commonly crosscut earlier patterns as a consequence of shifting hydrothermal conduits during structural evolution. Metasomatic minerals commonly occur as overgrowths on, or veinlets in, metamorphic minerals, and these in turn may break down to polymineralic mixtures during retrograde alteration. The degree of development of any given stage varies widely between classes. Thus, the metamorphic stage is more intense in mesozonal skarns located at pluton contacts (e.g., W skarns) than in epizonal skarns located at some distance from plutons (e.g., distal Zn/Pb skarns). On the other hand, the retrograde stage is more intense in epizonal skarns located at stock contacts (e.g., porphyry Cu skarns) than in epizonal distal skarns (e.g.,

. Zn/Pb skarns) or in mesozonal skarns (e.g., W skarns).

Zinc/lead skarn deposits typically have 6%-12% Zn, lesser Pb, neglig-

ible Cu, and from 1 to 9 oz/ton Ag. Some are mined for their silver content

alone with ore coming from replacement deposits in limestone beyond skarn.

Distinctive features include manganese, iron-rich mineralogy, distal occur-

rence from intrusive contacts, structural or lithological contact control,

absence of metamorphic aureoles, association of significant amounts of

sulphide mineralization with pyroxene rather than garnet, and retrograde

mineralogy. Evidence from skarns that formed near dykes suggests that the

dykes served as structural pathways and that the source of metasomatic

solutions was a deeper cogenetic magmatic body. Alteration of dykes associ-

ated with zinc skarn includes epidote, garnet-idocrase, sericite, clay, and

topaz. Skarns form sheaths around the dyke but may spread along faults and

bedding for significant distances in limestones and may form massive

sulphide replacements, chimneys, and mantos.

GEOLOGICAL MAPPING AND ROCK CHIP SAMPLING

Detailed geological grid mapping at 1:1,250 scale (Map 2a) was carried

out on the Grizmo Grid west of the Bracken Fault on Map 1 (Payne, 1979).

Partial detailed mapping at 1: 1,250 scale was carried out on the Club Grid

(Map 3a) north of the Grizmo Grid and south of the Taku River. Steep topo-

graphy in many cases prevented regional traverses; however, cliffs afforded

rock sampling of gossans by climbers using ropes and specialized climbing

equipment. In addition, 59 silt samples were taken for regional follow-up

since sampling by rock climbers was very site-specific, time consuming, and

required helicopter access.

Grizmo Grid

Detailed geological grid mapping at 1:1,250 scale focused on mapping of

lithological contacts and locating trenches. The grid was used to relate to

Payne's 1979 mapping and the results of the 1987 geochemical and geophysical

surveys.

. Mapping has delineated a complex of northeast trending faults between

L.5+00N and L.O+OO. The result is an interaction and dislocation of north-

west trending sedimentary units into northeast trends. This produces local

complex folds with massive sulphide type mineralization concentrated in both

trends.

These structures may be important in localizing chimney-type minerali-

zation striking in a northeast direction. Drilling in a northeast direction

would not develop any continuity to the mineralization. An example of this

would include mineralization in Zone 4. Between L.3+00N and L.O+OO, a wedge

of limestone has been faulted away from the main sedimentary unit. This

site corresponds to a strong geochemical anomaly. At L.7+00N 0+25W, another

similar dislocation occurs and corresponds to Zone 10.

Ericksen-Ashby

Variability of trends and shapes of gossans can be seen in the no,rth

face of Mellow Yellow Zone (see Figure 17), located northeast of Zone 12.

Club Grid

The grid was located to determine if there was any any structural or

stratigraphic continuity from Yellow Bluff or Zone 7 respectively. Lines

4+00N and 3+00N were mapped. Topography is controlled by the degree of

silicification which increases away from the base line. Fractured andesite

and chert with pyrite and limonite were located in creek beds and may

correspond to weakly anomalous silver values.

Little Gunsite Zone (Figures 11 and 12)

A series of rhyolite dykes(?) cut through silicified andesite frag-

mental~ with chert and disseminated pyrite. One anomalous sample (487 ppm

Zn) is peripheral to the rhyolite while the other is within the rhyolite

(4.6 ppm Ag, 128 ppm Pb). The latter is associated with a shear containing

pyrite and trace malachite.

Backsite Zone (Figure 13)

A 15 m wide gossan consisting of altered andesite and skarn with diss-

eminated and fracture-controlled pyrrhotite (up to 4%) was sampled. Weakly

anomalous silver values to 0.43 ppm were obtained.

Yellow Bluff Zone (Figure 14)

Yellow Bluff is a steep north-trending gossanous cliff with 330 m of

vertical relief from the top to river bottom. An attempt was made to sample

the entire section but because of the very siliceous rock, anchors could not

be secured. Hence, only one rope length of exposure was sampled. Narrow

sections of massive pyrite were encountered near the contact of the altered

intrusive and rhyolite. This contact may be the cause of the six-channel

INPUT anomalous previously mentioned. Rhyolite containing 5% to 10% pyrite

in fractures yielded an anomalous 0.52 ppm silver value. Similar trending

structures (from air photo lineaments) lie 300 and 400 m to the west of

Yellow Bluff but lack noticeable gossans.

Yogurt Maker Zone (Figures 15 and 16)

A series of rhyolite dykes(?) cut through silicified andesite frag-

mental~. Massive sulphide zones and skarns with 1% to 15% very fine-grained

sulphides consist of pyrrhotite and include magnetite. Disseminated pyrite

occurs in the silicified andesite fragmentals and the rhyolite. None of the

samples were found to be anomalous in Au, Ag, Pb, or Zn.

Mellow Yellow Zone (Figure 17)

The sample area is on a north-facing cliff at the end of L.1ON on the

Grizmo Grid. Gossans are confined to steeply dipping structures to the west

(3 m) and lesser smaller structures to the east. In places, irregular

gossanous pods 25x90 m can be seen on the vertical face. The host rock

consists of andesite, altered andesite (silicified, epidotized), skarn

(diopside, garnet, epidote), and quartzite (recrystallized 0.025-0.125 mm

quartz). Sections contain 5% to 10% weathered sulphide pods and dissemin-

ated pyrite to 1%. Most of the rocks sampled here are anomalous in silver,

lead, and zinc, but not gold. White staining observed in trenches with

massive sphalerite was also noted and this material yielded the highest zinc

value (5100 ppm).

Zone 4 (Figure 18)

Values for Au, Ag, Pb, and Zn tend to be higher on both contacts and

includes the highest silver value (62.0 ppm or 1.80 oz/ton). Weathered

samples may decrease the overall values. Mineralization appears to be

controlled by strong intersecting fractures.

Zone 8A (Figure 19)

This complex zone was sampled between trenches 8A-3 and 8A-4. One of

the samples analyzed 0.068 oz/ton Au (2320 ppb), 47.26 oz/ton Ag (1620 ppm),

6.1% Pb, and 1.78% Zn, and compares to some high questionable assays from

Ericksen-Ashby (see Table below). Folding or faulting may be localizing

high-grade shoot mineralization.

fractured manganese staining. Trace malachite was observed. No anomalous

values for Au, Ag, or Pb were obtained. Sample ZRO-11 (marble) is anomalous

in Zn (760 ppm).

Zone 1 (Figure 21)

A comparison of drill results and surface sampling shows an increase in

silver grade and width with depth. In addition, gold apparently becomes

anomalous towards the limestone contact

Zone 6 (Figure 22)

The best silver values are found toward the marble contact (82.8 ppm,

2.42 oz/ton) but do not compare to the 24.2 oz/ton reported by Ericksen

Ashby (Trench 6-1). Surface samples consisted of highly oxidized material.

Zone 2N (Figure 23)

This zone consists of massive sulphide with rhyolite. The best silver

values (12.83 oz/ton) occur near the western contact with the limestone

(which locally includes chert fragments). A one-metre interval averages

105.4 ppb Au, 97.33 ppm Ag, 1.24% Pb, and 2.18% Zn.

Zone 2 - Glory Hole (Figure 24)

This zone was briefly examined, sampled, and mapped. Massive sulphide

and skarn samples yielded anomalous gold values from 204 to 746 ppb. Of

particular interest here are samples taken by Cominco in 1951 (Table 2).

One set yielded 0.11 oz/ton Au (3767 ppb), 15.6 oz/ton Ag, 4.4% Pb, and 3.8%

Zn over 35 feet. Another sample assayed 0.4 oz/ton Au (13,698 ppb), 16.3

oz/ton Ag, 0.8% Pb, and 0.2% Zn over 5 feet. Payne (1979) questions the

accuracy of these values but results from previous zones have often returned

Inspiration (Figure 27)

A series of rhyolite dykes(?) cut through silicified andesite. Anomal-

ous Au (106 to 26,200 ppb; 0.76 oz/ton) values occur within or peripheral to

rhyolite often accompanied by disseminated pyrite. Pb and Zn values are

negligible; however, one anomalous Au sample (106 ppb) was also anomalous in

Ag (1.61 pprn).

Wild West (Figure 28)

Sampling of a fine-grained sericite-altered intrusion and/or rhyolite

produced slightly anomalous values for Au (106 ppb) and silver (0.50 ppm).

Fractured and disseminated pyrite included sections of 2% to 3%, 5%, and 5%

to 15%. Anomalous gold-in-soil samples were taken on this ridge to the west

(see Map 4a).

Green Crop (Figure 29)

Feldspar porphyry and/or altered andesite feldspar porphyry is in

contact with skarn. The skarn is fractured and contains malachite, 1% to 2%

disseminated pyrite, or may have massive pyrite sections to 80%. Highly

anomalous gold values (to 2320 ppb Au and 13.8 ppm Ag) occur with malachite

and pyrite mineralization.

VLF-EM SURVEY

Geonics EM-16 VLF-electromagnetic surveys were completed over the

Grizmo and Club grids using the Seattle transmitter for cross lines and the

Annapolis transmitter for the base line. Readings were taken at 25 m

intervals facing 055" azimuth on cross lines and 358" azimuth on the base

line.

Five conductors have been identified on the Grizmo Grid (Map 2b). They

vary from moderate to very weak, trend approximately 025" and 160°, and have

lengths between 50 m and 200 m.

Conductor A has the strongest response over Zone 5 and continues over

Zone 8.

Postulated very weak conductors (B, C, D) were picked from inflection

points on the in-phase readings. Conductor B lies proximal to Zone 8A. It

may truncate to the north against a northeast trending fault controlling a

quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke and possibly influencing the mineralization

and trend of Zone 4 . Conductor C may correspond to a northeast trending

sinistral fault mapped on L.3+00N. Conductor D may be a short northwest

trending structure within a small fault bounded limestone block. Alterna-

tively, it may continue towards the fault gouge encountered in the adit or

be associated with the mineralization in Zone 3.

Conductor E may be mapping the eastern contact of the mineralized

sedimentary belt.

No significant conductors were found on the Club Grid.

SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY

Grizmo Grid

A total of 177 'B-horizon soils or talus fines were collected at 25 m

intervals on 100 m spaced slope-corrected flagged grid lines (Map 2c). All

samples were analyzed for gold, silver, lead, and zinc. Sample values have

been categorized in the following manner for silver:

Value Category - . Range Quantity Silver in ppm

strongly anomalous >4.0 14 moderately anomalous 2.0-3.99 12 weakly anomalous 1.0-1.99 2 2 possibly anomalous 0.5-0.99 4 1

Silver values have been contoured defining five main targets (four

strongly anomalous and one moderately anomalous).

Target A includes L.O+OO which intersects the adit at the end of the

eastern portion of the line and includes dump material. However, the

eastern portion of L.l+OON was taken adjacent to faulted limestone.

Target B is adjacent to an altered andesite, possible limestone contact.

There may be contamination anywhere on the grid between L.0+00 and L.5+00N

from above; however, there is good correspondence of anomalies crosscutting

slope. This zone appears to continue for approximately 300 m. The anomaly

may be caused by structures within the andesite or thin limestone bands.

Target B1 corresponds to a fault wedge of limestone bounded by andesite.

Targets C and D are in a northerly trending, 700 m long geochemical

anomaly. Target C is centered on Zone 8; Target D is below Zone 10 and

includes Zone 11. Between these two targets is Zone 5 which is coincidental

with a weak to moderate VLF-EM conductor.

Target E is a northwesterly trending, 100 m anomaly corresponding to

chert and limestone and possibly Zone 4.

Ericksen-Ashby 5 8

Weakly anomalous values may correspond to fracture mineralization . in

A total of 154 B-horizon soil samples were collected at 25 m intervals

on 100 m spaced slope-corrected flagged grid lines (Map 3c). All samples

were analyzed for gold, silver, lead, and zinc. Sample values have been

categorized in the following manner for silver:

Value Category - . Ran~e Quantity Silver in ppm

weakly anomalous >1.0 2 possibly anomalous 0.5-0.99 11

Weakly anomalous values occur adjacent to the main creek and may be a

result of contamination from Zone 2s. This creek is moderately anomalous in

silver.

SILT GEOCHEMISTRY

A total of 67 silt samples were taken, including 8 silt samples on the

Club Grid. Results are shown on Map 4. All samples were analyzed for gold,

silver, lead, and zinc. Sample values have been categorized in the

following manner for silver and gold:

Value Cateporv Range Quanti ty Range Quantity Silver (ppm) Gold (ppb)

strongly anomalous >5.00 2 >lo0 1 moderately anomalous 1.6-4.99 1 60-99 1 weakly anomalous 0.50-0.99 1 30 - 59 2 possibly anomalous 0.25-0.49 8 15-29 2

A silt sample taken from a small dry creek bed, where it enters

Ericksen Creek, yielded 96 ppb Au, 62.0 pprn Ag, 4400 pprn Pb, and 7300 pprn

Zn. This creek drains Zone 2S, a horizontal distance of 0.9 km. Moderately

anomalous values of 4 ppb Au, 1.14 pprn Ag, 148 pprn Pb, and 290 pprn Zn are

found downstream above the anomaly where Ericksen Creek enters the Taku

River. Similar values were obtained from the Club Grid along Ericksen

Creek. Based on silt sample results, four anomalous areas have been

targeted for follow-up work (Map 4a).

Target A yielded the highest gold value (428 ppb) but also included an

anomalous silver value (5.80 pprn), and high Pb (680 ppm) and Zn (310 ppm)

values. Two adjacent sites returned 28 ppb and 40 ppb gold. Target B

includes adjacent 64 ppb and 16 ppb Au anomalies. A gossan above these

creeks, Wild West Zone, has been soil and rock-chip sampled. Results from

sampled rocks ranged from 20 to 2360 ppb gold. Rock-chip samples have not

be taken over the best soil anomalies. Target C includes three anomalous

silver anomalies (0.72, 0.34, 0.30 ppm) in rugged terrain. There are

prominent gossans above silt sample site GT-6. However, silts in talus

chutes were difficult to obtain and may not be representative. Target D

consists of anomalous silver (0.45 and 0.43 ppm) in a northeast trending

structure.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Gower (1979) estimated possible geological reserves based on surface

sampling, drilling, and underground drilling. Surface sampling (Appendix

IV) is after ricks en-~shby Mining Co. Ltd. from Gower (1979). Trenches

have been renumbered and correspond to locations on Map 1 (Payne, 1979).

Appendix V is a compilation of data by Payne and lists the different sources

utilized. Table 3 is Gower's compilation but includes drilling by Island

Mining and Exploration Co. Ltd. Table 4 depicts results from Ericksen-Ashby

Mining Co. Ltd. drilling, while Table 5 is a summary of drilling by Island

Mining and Exploration Co. Ltd.

Brent Hemingway (1982) describes the massive sulphide showings of Zone

1 as roughly lensoid or podiform and plunging roughly 20"s. On the east

face of Zone 2, this plunge can be seen where exposed by gullies. Zone 2-2s

appears to have dimensions of 600 m x 200 m where intersected by the

feldspar porphyry dyke. By using 2000'x650'~10' dimensions, 1,300,000 short

tons of geological reserves are inferred. The following values were

obtained from trenches (Map 1):

Ericksen-Ashby

Observations on the east face of Zone 2-2s show that this zone is not

continuous, there are missing sections, and there is black (manganese) skarn

in the limestone (as pods and fracture fillings) away from the rhyolite.

Encouragingly, however, some of the zones within or adjacent to the rhyolite

may be up to 40 feet wide.

Strike and vertical continuity are the dominant parameters in deter-

mining the extent of the target available for exploration by extending the

adit. If the vertical dimension continues behind the feldspar porphyry, a

new adit could reach this zone from the Ericksen Creek side below the

Cominco drill site.

Drilling of Zone 1 in 1981 encountered high silver values: 16 and 18

oz/ton over 9 m and 5 m respectively, averages of high and low values

obtained by Ericksen-Ashby in trenches. Zones 1 and 2N could be faulted.

Examination of the down-plunge extension would require drill testing.

Underground development in 1964 by Ericksen-Ashby Mining Co. Ltd. was

designed to test for the downward extension of the upper surface showings.

The adit, over a distance of 500 feet, encountered two areas of mineraliza-

tion, one in the adit itself and the other in the hanging wall near the far

end. At 120 feet from the portal, the adit crossed a fault; and for 127

feet, was in mineralized breccia. Muck samples from cars and chip face

samples indicate an average grade for the shoot of 10.3 oz/ton Ag, 3.43% Pb,

and 7.84% Zn (Zone 9).

A diamond drill station was slashed out at the end of the adit.

Drilling to the footwall below the surface outcrop of the northwest end of

the upper showing (Zone 1) failed to cut sulphides, presumably due to

faulting. Subsequent drilling to the southeast cut the same mineral zone as

encountered in the drifting which had, turned into the right wall on a small

fault at 247 feet from the portal (see Figure 30). The adit was examined in

1987 and the workings were dry and stable. All mining machinery has been

removed from the property; however, the underground tracks are still in

place.

DRILLING LOGISTICS

In a worst case scenario, drilling Zone 2-2s would require water to be

pumped 3400 feet (1,040 m) horizontal and 2600 feet (800 m) vertical from

the pond below camp. In 1964, when Ericksen-Ashby Mining Co. Ltd. drove a

500-foot (152 m) adit, they pumped this pond dry. The pond was good for

only 1965 feet (600 m) of drilling when used by Island Mining and Explora-

tion Co. Ltd. in 1981. They supplemented their requirements by a small

creek 3280 feet (1000 m) west of the adit. Zone 1 was successfully drilled

and it lies 600 feet (185 m) vertically below Zone 2s. Plastic hoses,

garbage bags, and drums connected to a 200-gallon metal tank from nearby

small creeks suggest that some run-off was captured. Zone 1 contained six

short holes and required water to be pumped through 800 m of pipe from a

small creek 300 m below.

If drilling coincided with spring run-off, it is likely that sufficient

water could be collected. As a precaution, however, polyethylene holding

tanks should be constructed along the Bracken Fault so that run-off can be

captured.

Another alternative for a reliable water source for future exploration

would be to drill a multi-purpose, flat 2000-foot hole from the back of the

adit on a bearing of 122". This hole would test Zone 6 at depth and some-

where between Zones 2 and 2s at depth. If this hole were continued, it

would penetrate the other side of the mountain near the Cominco hole. Once

through, water could be pumped the other way from the pond or from the

glacier feed creek.

Alternatively, the Cominco hole could be re-drilled. This time,

though, the drill should be protected by slashing an adit entrance in the

event of slides. If this approach is considered, 4 km of road construction

from the Taku River (following the Cominco horse trail) would likely be

required.

Drilling Zone 2-2s

A suitable site for drilling Zone 2-2s is shown on Figure 31. Two con-

tour intervals are shown for general location. Contours generated from the

1:10,000 ortho and contours on Map (Payne, 1979) are not accurate for the

very steep topography in this area. Slope corrections and compass bearings

were shot to the drill station and anchors. Boch sites should be surveyed

prior to drilling, since there are locally strong magnetic disturbances.

Four diamond drill holes would test Zone 2-2s over 200 m horizontal and

at depths between 98 m and 166 m below surface outcrop. Holes would be

drilled both at -22.5" and -45" dip from the same site in two different

directions. Hence, if the shallow hole was not encouraging, the deeper hole

could be aborted.

Based on $25/foot, the holes would cost between $10,000 and $24,770 for

a total of $62,500. This would not include camp support, site preparation,

or pumping of water. The advantages of drilling from this site include:

1. less hazard for slides (60 m vertical below ridge)

2. natural bump to facilitate pad construction

3. drillers could easily walk to site from upper camp (last 80 m should have anchored ropes for protection)

4. drilling could continue at night and in bad weather (assuming no rods or parts were required)

5. if deeper holes or shallower intersections were required, wedging could be conducted

6. some local run-off may be captured.

CONCLUSIONS

Previous workers have considered the rhyolite as a flow or eruptive

unit, and exploration has been focused on basin development proximal to the

rhyolite.

Massive sulphide mineralization on the Grizmo Grid was considered too

weak or sporadic and too distal from the rhyolite. Massive sulphide miner-

alization may, in fact, be skarn-related with both lithological and struc-

tural controls. In some deposits, mineralization is of a higher grade

distal from the granite porphyry intrusions. Exposed mineralization on the

Grizmo Grid, therefore, may be higher in the system and hence better grades

could be found at depth. VLF-EM responses suggest possible massive sulphide

concentrations.

High gold values to 0.40 oz/ton were reported by Cominco (1951) from

Zone 2. In 1987, limited sampling from this zone again returned anomalous

gold values (one sample taken from Zone 2s at the limestone contact returned

876 ppb Au).

Encouraging gold values are also found south of Zone 2s; at Inspiration

(26,200 ppb rock), at Wild West (2,360 ppb soil), at Green Crop (2,320 ppb

rock), and at silt sampling Target A (428 ppb).

RECOMMENDATIONS

Further exploration of the Ericksen-Ashby property should be focused on

structural and/or lithological contact control, alteration, and skarn zona-

tion. Exploration should consist of:

1. drilling Zone 2-2s to prove depth continuity (750 m of diamond drilling).

2. enhanced geophysical surveys on the Grizmo Grid (similar type deposits have been explored for in the Rancheria District in the Yukon); 10 km of line-cutting, secanting, MaxMin and magnetometer surveys.

3. diamond drilling on the Grizmo Grid (750 m).

4. follow-up of silt geochemical anomalies including research of Amy and Stuhini occurrences; and possible acquisition of more ground to the south to protect the southern geochemical target.

5. follow-up on gold occurrences.

In the above matter, consideration should include:

a) water problems (large vertical pumping intervals).

b) steep topography (which will require experienced climbers).

c) weather problems and access.

Water holding tanks or ponds can be built on the Bracken Fault, and

heavy-duty pumps brought in capable of at least 1400 feet of vertical lift.

The helipads and 400-gallon tank at Zone 1 would be an ideal second pump

staging area requiring 800 feet of vertical lift from the holding tanks.

Two camps should be established when drilling Zone 2-2S, since heli-

copter support to the top could be hampered or even precluded by cloud.

Weather conditions would be more favourable in August but water problems

more acute. Drilling could commence during run-off on Zone 2 and 2s while

geophysical work began on the Grizmo Grid. Later the drill could be moved

down to the grid. If results are favourable from Zone 2-2S, exploration

should proceed underground.

Quotes for road construction costs and feasibility up Ericksen creek

from the Taku River should be obtained from a local contractor out of

Juneau. This should include cost and feasibility of barging heavy equipment

out of Juneau.

If an adit connected both sides from Ericksen Creek side then both the

water supply and access problems would be solved.

If significant mineralization is discovered at lower levels (i.e.,

Yogurt Zone, Grizmo Grid), then exploration should proceed upwards culmin-

ating in Zone 2s. Therefore, continued surface work is still recommended at

this stage. Particular attention should be focused on current exploration

philosophies and results, as Cominco/Redfern are drilling just west of the

property near river elevation. If these results are favourable, exploration

should also be considered in the vicinity of the western property boundary.
