3 Report on a Geological Mapping and Geocbernical sst( urvey TULAMEEN AREA PROPERTY RED BIRD CLAIMS SIMILKAMEEN MINING DIVISION L. Stephenson May oo Introduction The RED BlRO Claims were staked in 2004 (Tenures # ) and converted to tenure # , to cover mineralization associated with the volcanic ssemblages of Nicola Volcanics. The exploration work on the claims was recorded as SOW 4CJ.l&d+&? The region has an active mining area for precious and base metals since the discovery of the Copper Mountain area mines in the early 20th century to the south east and the 1930 s discovery of gold in quarfz veins to the south west of the property. Geological prospedng and geochemical stream silt and soilsampling surveys were undertaken to establish and evaluate the trend of the volcanic rocks related to the know showings of the area. A two kilometre road traverse collecting 75 soil samples, 5 stream silt samples and 6 rock samples was conducted over the claims Location, Access and Description The claim is located 3 kilometres northwest of Tulameen, British Columbia. Access is provided to the claims 6 kilometres up the Lawless Creek logging road off the main Tulameen road (Map 2). The property consists of 5 2 post claims and one 4 post claim converted to grid units claims under the new BC mineral tenure regulations. With fairly rugged topography and relief extending from 400 metres to 1200 metres in elevation, the forested slopes are actively being logged with some areas of regrowth typical of this area British Columbia. 3.0 History and Geology Gold was discovered in the area in the late pairt of the lgh century in placer deposits along the Tulameen River. Initial exploration occurred in the early 20 century around the copper showings of Boulder mountain and later around Rabbit Mountain which included the namesake Redbird showings. Several additional periods of exploration have located several showings around the Redbird claim have been developed by trenching and adits. During the 1980 s the area s copper Mine was developed. This area is part of the Nicola Volcanic belt of the central Cordillera of volcanics, crystalline rocks and minor sediments of the interior B.C. geological province. The andesitedacite volcanics are pervasively altered to calcareous and silicified zones that are mylonitic sheared in an almost north south direction. Mineralization in intense silicified and pyritized layers is associated with these structural zones. Pyrite associated with Cretaceous intrusives is located within the main body and the emanating dykes with signifmnt associated hornfels alteration suggesting a metawmatic emplacement of the mineralization. Most if not all the mineralization is associated with the Nicola volcanics which hosts all the known copper showings

4 4.00 Work Program Geological pmspecttng and geochemical soil and silt sampling was conducted through out the property Soil sampling traverses were conducted along the road that cross the property, highlighted on Map 2. Seventy Five soil samples and5 stream silt samples were taken from the claim group along the roads that cross the property in an east west direction. They were assayed for 30 elements ICP and ICP and fire assay for gold, by Chemex Labs and the results are appended (Appendix I) and sample locations are plotted on Map 3. Six rock samples, from the area (Map 2) were assayed and the analysis is attached as Appendix 1. The work amounts of time and sampling are reported in table form as part of Exhibit "A" Geochemical Soil Survey A total number of 75 soil samples were collected from the claims. Five drainages were sampled and locations recorded and marked. Field crew would drive along the road and stop the vehicle on the road at the drainage and then walk to the upside of the road area of the drainage to collect their sample. They would dig in the active or inactive stream bed to obtain ensure enough stream silt or drainage soil would be taken to obtain sufficient sample for analysis. This usually was at least half a standard brawn Kraft paper geochem bag full or more. Samples were dried and sent to Chemex Labs. for preparation. Chemex would further dry the sample and then sieve it to -80 mesh. A 50 gram sample was then leached with 3 millilitres of HCL- HN%H20 at 9 5O Celsius for one hour, diluted to 10 millilitres and analysed by ICP-ES. Results are appended and plotted on Map 3 and show an area of interesting soil anomalies outlining the known adits and the potential continuation of the zones Conclusions The RED BIRD Claims are underlain by volcanics which are associated with mineralization. The samples taken during this program have established that mineralization is present on the claims. More detailed surveying, including geophysical surveying would better delineate the anomalous zones and the main showing area is recommended to guide future exploration and develop exploration drilling targets effectively. Further exploration is required 2 P.Eng.
