3 W INTRODUCTION The Murray Property was found in July 1983 by Bill Cameron and Fran Jenkins, both residence of Revelstoke, B.C. This is a new discovery with no mining history. It is located 48 Km south of Revelstoke, along Highway 23, near the Shelter Bay Ferry Terminal. Access to the property is by logging roads, 44 Km south of the ferry terminal to just past Longworth Creek and up a 4 X 4 old road. The centre of the property was logged years ago. Many of the logging roads are still usable and give good accessibility. The native trees are fir, hemlock and cedar. Ferns, slide- willow and devils club are abundant. The claims were contract staked by Pearson and Gallagher of Nelson. The area covered by this report is shown on map number 1.

4 1. PROSPECTING METHODS Much of the property is covered by overburden,road cuts and numerous creeks have fairly good rock exposure so prospecting has been concentrated in these areas. The most successful methods of prospecting have been: (1) Old fashioned rock pounding and tracing float up creeks, followed by removing overburden and hand trenching. (2) Bloom heavy metal geechem test. -The mineralization often occurs in schists. These tend to slump or sluff. A test with the Bloom kit gives an accurate if not W quantitative indication of the presence of Pb., Zn, or CM Significant Bloom anonalies on map 2. Others- V.L.F. A test survey showed this would be viable, but would need experienced interpretation. Self Potential Anomalies found shown on map 2. SOIL SAMPLING Soil sampling on the Murray Claims giyes very doubtful results. Most likely because of the hardpan covering the bedrock. There are very well developed soil horizons on top of the hardpan but the results are negative even just down the slope from a mineral occurrence.

Garnets and magneh te occur with or without The host rock is cut in numerous places by stringers of pink calcite. Light coloured dykes, from + to 3 metres wide are common to the property, Quartz veining occur infrequently and is most often barren. A light coloured soft gness overlays the harder "cui volanics to a depth of 2-5 M. in the area marked on map Number 3. This shows in the creeks, which have cut through this cover to the harder rocks in the bed of the creeks. This gnvess also shown in road cuts. A very calcareous rock containing hermatite is the road cut at 4, on map 3. A light coloured granikwas found as shown on map 3. Hardpan for 2 to 1 metre thick covers much of the bedrock, as the only way to find this is to dig through the overburden, the extent of this has not been determined. There seems to be a unit of felsic; to intermediate volanic origin that underlies the mineralized unit on the west and could be used to delineate the area of most interest,

6 3. MINERAL1 ZATI ON The Murray Deposit appears to be strata bound. Chalcopy- rite, both massive and dissemenated, is the'most abundant mineral. There are minor amounts of sphalerite and galena. Gold and silver are present in significant amounts in assay. The mineralization occurs in interbedded metavolanics and metasediments, usually but not always in the biotlte sch.rst. The pit A on map 4, is strata bound dissemenated chalcopyrite and pyrite striking to the south East, A grab sample assayed.s%cu. On Longworth Creek, B, on Map 4, a zone of dissemenated w pyrite and Chalcopyrite approximately 12 metres wide, strikes to the south east. A composite grab sample assayed.49% cu. First creek as shown on map 4 has massive chalcopyrite pods or sheets with minor sphalerite and galena for approximately 150 metres from where it joins Longworth Creek. On Longworth Creek, just below the falls, C on map 4, there are showings of chalcopyrite and zinc, 1.4% zinc, The north side of the creek assayad CONCLUSIONS The Murray deposit is strata bound. The host rock is metavolanics and metasedements. The potential lies in the likelyhood of one or more massive sulf )$c* ore bodies. Copper is the dominant mineral, but significant gold and silver assays show promise. The mineralized zone has a proven or indicated strike length of 3 Km
