3 -1- INTRODUCTION This report describes a reconnaissance geochemical sampling and geological mapping program on the northwest portion of the Summit Group of mineral claims. The area under discussion lies adjacent to the headwaters of Green Creek, a north flowing tributary of the Nanaimo River. Samples were analyzed for copper, gold and moly- bdenum by means of atomic adsorption. collected September 21 to 23, The samples were At the same time, a limited geologic examination was made of the north side of Mount Buttle. This report was prepared by Mr. W. F. Chase and all field work and report writing was supervised by Mr. Daniel Cardinal, P. Geol.

4 -2- SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Aquarius Resources Ltd., holds title to the Summit Group of mineral claims, located approximately eleven (11) air kilometres northwest of Youbou, B. C., in the headwaters of Green Creek, a tributary of the Nanaimo River. A geological and geochemical survey was carried out in September, 1982 as part of an ongoing, exploration program in the vicinity. The geochemical soil and silt program was carried out to add to the information acquired previously by Aquarius Resources on the Summit Group. (See assessment report # 8782) Respectfully submitted Bill Chase

5 - 3- LOCATION AND ACCESS The area of work on the Summit Group is reached by travelling west and south on the Crown Zellerbach logging road through the Nanaimo Lakes Road, and thence south to the headwaters of Green Creek, a distance of some 60 km. Permission must be obtained from Crown Zellerbach Nanaimo Lakes Division to gain access to the area.

9 -5- HISTORY Initial discoveries of molybdenite were reported in The showings consisted of quartz veins carrying pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite. Further work indicated some rosettes and seams in the host granodiorite. Some adit work and trenching was carried out, but the area was relatively dormant until 1964 when Gunnex carried out some stream and soil sampling with geological mapping. Followup was not done and in 1968 Cominco carried out regional work in the area. In 1978 Mr. E. Specogna staked the presently held claims after prospecting and finding scattered showings of molybdenite and a quartz vein with some visible gold.

10 -6- GEOLOGY The area is underlain by Saanich intrusives which have intruded Sicker sediments and volcanics. The general geology of the area has been mapped by J. T. Fyles. In the area of the claim, the Sicker rocks are very widespread with apparently the only exception in the south part of the group. The complex of sediments and volcanics is of unknown thickness. Although :the formations are silicified, little other alteration was observed. Faults and fracturing observed within the claim group particularly in the north part, strike northwest with vertical to steep dips to the west. Many of the paralleling fractures are quartz filled and in at least one case the fracture becomes a quartz stock-work within the formation. Mineralization appears to be associated with the faults, fractures and intruding dykes.

12 -7- GEOCHEMICAL SURVEY A total of one hundred (100) upper "B" horizon soil samples were taken every 30m along existing roads on the Close (186) and the Dibenedetto (185) mineral claims. A further twenty (20) upper "B" horizon soil samples were taken in the northeast corner of the Amore 2 (138) mineral claim, along a road designated M-6. A total of twenty-eight (28) silt samples were taken on the Close (186) mineral claim, along the headwaters of Green Creek. The samples were dried, sorted and shipped to Min-En Laboratories, of North Vancouver, B. C. The samples were analyzed for Molybdenum and Copper by the nitric, perchloric digestion process with Atomic Adsorption and for gold using the Aqua-Regia process with Atomic Adsorption. Frequency histograms on geochemical data relating to previous surveys on behalf of the company in the immediate vicinity (see assessment report # 8782) suggest the following
