3 o INTRODUCTION Location Access Terrain and Climate I I i I The Mt Thomlinson property is located 38 km northeast of Hazelton British Columbia see Figures 1 2 The camp and the principal molybdenite occurrences lie at about 1850 metres abdve sea level along a north trending ridge 4 5 km north of Mt Thomlinson see Figure 3 Access is by helicopter Chartered helicopters are available in Smithers 90 km south Supplies logged area 15 km northwest of camp and equipment can be flown from a or from farms near Kispiox 25 km west The tdpography Df the property is extreme with 850 metres o of relief on the claims Local treeline is about 1350 m 500 metres below the camp Regional topography is characterized by isolated rugged mduntain peaks separated by broad wooded valleys Many of the peaks are over 2000 m high and are surrounded by ice and sndw fields The mountain slopes are steep and generally covered with talus The region has a cool temperate climate with moderate rainfall with the mountainous areas generally covered with snow until mid July Sporadic snowfall can occur at any time but becomes increasingly common in September and snow accumulates in October High winds and local clouds are commonplace along the ridge even during Property History summer months The showings were originally stakedjn 196 by three prospectors from Hazelton and optioned by Buttle Lake Mining later Stampede International Resources Ltd o

8 6 o units was located in August 1981 and is contiguous southern boundary of THOM 2 Figure 3 with the The original Molly Tom 1 to 8 were transferred by bill Df sale to Texasgulf Canada Ltd Subsequent claims were staked in that Company s name All claims are now owned by Kidd Creek Mines Ltd Transfer was by a legal change of Company name effective December 3D 1981 The claim ownership transfer was recorded in Vancouver on March Summary of Work Completed During the 1981 season Texasgulf Inc on behalf of Texasgulf Canada Ltd repaired the camp located a drill site and contracted the drilling of four NQ diamond drill holes totalling m Mineralized core was assayed for Cu and MOS2 All drilling was carried out on the Molly Tom 1 and Molly cj Tom 2 mineral claims Figure 3 GEOLOGY The geology of the property has been described in several company and government reports see Bibliography Molybdenite and lesser chalcopyrite occur within a quartz vein system along the northwestern contact of a 53 8 Ma old quartz monzonite stock cutting argillites of the Bowser Lake Group Figure 3 and 4 The mineralized zone is an irregular tabular zone up to 100 m wide and dips at approximately 600 to the northwest DIAMOND DRILLING The locations of the four diamond drill holes drilled from the same site are shown in Figure 4 D D H T 1 81 collared at 520 was abanddned at m because of bad ground conditidns o
