property programs in a May 9A967t letter to shareholders.
Work has been continuous on the recently acquired St .Vincent Bay molybdenum property on
Jervis Inlet,B.C. Work has included soil sampling whioh indicated a favourable area over
3,000 feet by 6,000 feet, geological mapping has been completed over the claims and
bulldozer trenching has uncovered the continuation of quarts stringers whioh carried molybdenij
mineralization in higfcergrade areas. IhriU sites and roads will he dosed out in readiness
for drilling.
Soil sampling survey work has been underway on the Berglund property near Nyland Lake,
southeast of Quesnel,B.C. Earlier bulldozer work located considerable molybdenum mineralisation
in an area of an aerial electromagnetic anomaly which will be checked by ground
electromagnetic survey work in the near future.
Further work is planned for the company's Kwaniks Creek mercury property in the
Piuchi fault area. The first target will be the mercury showings. The oopper-moiybdenum
section of the property, whioh is one mile eastward and parallel to the Pinchi fault, a
complete re-appraisal of the results of last year's work and a further examination of the
property is being done. In Partioular, the area around vertical DDE No.3 which yielded
sections of 0.85$ , 0.25^, 0.36$,and 0.46$ copper indicates an area of values where more
work is justified. There is also an induced polarization anomaly westward and oloser to the
Pinchi fault which has not yet been drilled.
