4 - 2- NTRODUCTON The Mary 4 mineral claim (20 units) was staked in November, 1980 in the Fort Steele Mining Division. t is situated 17 kilometres southwest from Cranbrook, B. C. and is bisected by the main Moyie River - Lumberton logging road. The claim covers the lower portion of Noke Creek, from its junction with Moyie River at 1219 metres (4000 feet) elevation, to 1432 metres (4700 feet) elevation. St. Eugene Mining Corporation Limited is the owner and operator. No economic mineralization is known here. n 1981 a soils geochemical survey was carried out in the northeastern portion of the claim. A total of 127 samples were taken from the B-horizon and 113 soil samples were taken from the A-horizon. The claim is underlain by Aldridge formation sedimentary rocks of the Lower Purcell Supergroup (grey quartzites, wackes, siltstones and argillites). Minor gabbroic sills and dykes are known throughout the area but none were seen on the property. Outcrop are scarce and usually exhibit a gentle 10-25' northerly dip. Metamorphism and deformation of lithologies is usually minor in these rocks but a highly altered buff coloured zone is near Noke Creek in the north part of the claim and may represent alteration along a fault zone. GEOCHEMCAL SURVEY Soil samples were usually collected at 100 metre intervals on lines 100 metres apart. Samples were obtained by using a mattock. A total of 127 samples were taken from the B-horizon at depths of 5 to 10 cm. and a total of 113 samples were taken from the A-horizon at depths of 1 to 2 cm.

5 Material was placed in Kraft paper envelopes and was sent to Bondar - Clegg and Company Limited, North Vancouver for geochemical analysis of the -80 mesh fraction of the air dried sample. Standard chemical analysis procedures were used: - for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Cd extraction was by hot HN03 - HC1 and analysis was by atomic absorption, - for Au, analysis by atomic absorption followed fire assay and aqua regia extraction, - for Hg, extraction was by controlled aqua regia and analysis was by cold vapour atomic absorption. Histograms of the geochemical results (Figures to 16) show that Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and Ag have single dominant background population while Au and Hg have multimode1 background populations and soils. Plan maps of the geochemical analyses are shown on figures Figure shows Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd present in B-horizon Anaomalous values for each element appear to be erratically distributed throughout the northern two-thirds of the grid and no follow-up is recommended. portion of the map. soils. No anomalous values occur in the southern Figure shows Ag, Au and Hg present in A-horizon A lineation of occasional anomalous Ag, Au and Hg values can be discerned passing from the north end of Line 3 & 4 W to the south end of Line 6 west. Scattered high Au values also occur east of this line and on the Southern half of Line 13 west. The trend of elevated values is subparallel to the axis of Noke Creek and may reflect mineralized portions of the fault that is suspected here. Alternatively, the higher gold values may indicated veins associated with gabbroic intrusions. in the district but none has proven extensive. Several such occurrences are known should be undertaken to better delineate the gold anomalies. Additional soil sampling
