3 INTRODUCTION The ELM claim, Tenure # , consisting of 7 cells located under the MTO system, is centred on the juncton of Criss and McGee Creeks, 25 km straight line distance due north of Savona on the Trans Canada Highway at the west end of Kamloops Lake. Distance by road from Savona is 41.5 km. Take the T.C.H. west 9.3 km to the Deadman Creek turnoff. Continue north on this well maintained Forestry Road 54 for a distance 12.4 km, where the road branches northeast just before the bridge over Criss Creek. Follow the active logging road 10.6 km to the "23 km" marker where a disused logging road branches north. Continue on this road for 7 km, the marker being missing, About 100 m past this point a little used track turns east then south to Criss Creek, a distance of approximately 2 km. The claims have been partially logged, mainly on the west side of the creek, but to a lesser exent on the east side as well. The resulting network of old trails provides good access within the claims. The area was used e:tensively for cattle grazing during the snow free period, but at this time ranching appears to have been discontinued. Elevations within the claim group vary from 900 to 1100 metres. Relief is moderate. Topography is generally subdued with relatively gentle slopes. Notable exceptions are the NE and SE slopes of the prominent NW trending ridge underlying the west side of the current tenure. The SE slope is particularly steep, dropping over 200 m in a horizontal distance of 400 m. Steep rock scarps to 30 m, but usually much less, are common along Criss Creek, particularly where it cuts the granite intrusive. The area is well drained by Criss Creek, a fast flowing stream draining southwest to Deadman.Creek, which in turn flows south to the Thompson River. Bush is fairly open and park like, with little underbush even where tree growth is thickest. Fir is the common species, with some minor stands of poplar along water courses and open grassy areas where moisture is more abundant. Rock outcrops are confined mainly to the channels and banks of Criss and McGee Creeks. Elsewhere, overburden predominates and rock exposures are restricted to ridges and road cuts. Overburden varies from a thick mantle of detritus from the current erosion cycle, to remnants of glacial outwash deposits 5 to 10 m thick as seen at several locations along Criss Creek. These remnants vary from silt grade to boulders, and may exhibit distinct cross bedding. Government reports indicate that mineralization on Criss Creek has stimulated exploration activity since at, least Initial work was done for placer gold, later, mercury and lode gold. Currently, silver, gold and molybdenum are of primary interest. Previous work on the area covered by the ELM Group included driving 5 short adits, minor hand trenching, some bulldozer trenching, drilling 3 diamond drill holes and 8 percussion holes. Several geochem suveys were conducted, collecting both soil and stream sediment samples. Molybdenum mineralization is associated with a small granitic body of Triassic-Jurassic age, intrusive into Triassic Nicola volcanics. Gold silver mineralization is spatially associated with a small diorite plug, also intruding Nicola volcanics. The Au-Ag Zone is hosted by a small listwanite unit at the faulted contact between Nicola volcanics and Ashcroft Formation conglomerate of Jurassic age.

5 -2- SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Purpose of current work was to take advantage of low water levels in Criss Creek to sample the western extension of Hanging Wall mineralisation by sampling the steep northerly dipping fault contact separating listwanitic rocks to the south from Nicola Volcanics to the north. Of seven samples taken, two assayed close to Ippm Au while 5 returned values of 52 to 103 ppb. Two corresponding silver values assayed 96 and 78 ppm respectively, and the remaining three carried from 2 to 34 ppm. Results were fairly encouraging considering that veiy little sulphide mineralisation was noted in samples collected. It was concluded the fault structure itself carries anomalous gold and silver values, despite the absence of Hanging Wall veining. While accuracy of sample locations remain in doubt it is not possible to conclude that Hanging Wall Vein values extend west past current exposures of this structure, which was the main purpose of this work. RECOMMENDATIONS Resurvey the section of Criss Creek that is the subject of this report. Due to the dubious nature of sample locations it is difficult to make recommendations. FIELD PROCEDURES The fault structure of interest was grab sampled at random intervals and sample locations tied in using a Garmin Map76 instrument. Samples were bagged and shipped to Loring Labs, Calgary and fire assayed for gold content and analysed by ICP methods for 32 additional elements, including silver. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS Plotting sample locations determined by GPS revealed a serious discrepancy between these results and topography determined by the well defined north side of Criss Creek. All samples were collected along this feature, at or within,5m of the waterline in every case, but GPS results do not support what was actually done in the field. Only two samples plot within the creek limits, the remainder being scattered in an apparently random fashion (Plate No. I ). Also concerning is the inconsistent elevation numbers given locations by GPS. True elevation differences should be within one metre, but GPS values vary by tens of metres. For example GPS stations 66 and 67 plot within the creek bed about 7m apart, but the given elevation difference is 64m, clearly impossible and unexplainable to date. The apparent mislocation of all but two samples might be attributed to the given level of accuracy for the unit of 15m. The two GPS stations 64 and 65 exceed what should be acceptable instrument error. In summary, from the writer's point of view all sample locations should lie close to the north side of Criss Creek between GPS stations 67 and 69.
