3 INTRODUCTION General Statment u - Ace claimes 1-14 are situated in the ~enatatikine Range,. 77 miles S.E. of Atlin B.C. The geographic location is Long ' 07W, Lat. 58' 50N. These claims cover a Chrysotile Fibre zone, which was discovered and staked by John Kerr, of Vancouver for -\ r\ Canadian Johns Manville fl1967, July and August. Acknowledgements Ace 1-14 were mapped by Carl Stadler and the wrtbter between July 11 and September 11, Timber and Water The claims are situated between elevations 4000' and 60001, and are above the tree line. Timber occurs below the 4000' elevation. One creek runs through the property. Two small lakes are adjacent to the property. C Acess C Acess to the property is made by fix wing aircraft to Victoria Lake, and the remaining part of the journey by helicopter,

4 GENERAL GEOLOGY Table of Formations Era Period Litholom Recent Alluvium, Talus, minor glacial deposits. Cenozoic Pleistocene Glacial deposits Paleozoic Pensylvanian and Peridotite and dunite Permian Serpentinization Acidic dikes- Disbasic dikes (Rodingites) Rock Types Rock types vary from Dunite through to Peridotite to Serpentinite and Serpentine. Acidic and basic dykes cut through the Fibre zone and adjacent areas. Pleistocene and Recent Cirques, glacial eratics, and moraine deposits indicate to a Continental and Alpine glaciation. Glacial Straie suggests an E-PI movement of the Continental ice sheet. STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY The Peridotite is moderate to well sheared in the zones adjacent to the Rodingites. Generally, Fiberization has

5 taken place in these sheared zpnes. Two sets of joints are present, one traveling NE-SW, the other NW-SE. Banding with the Peridotite is also present. ECONOMIC GEOLOGY Refer to maps: ( yellow covers the Fibre zone) - It was estimated that the Fibre Zone has a potential of 13 million tons of Chrysotile Ore. The fibre ranges From widths less than one sixteenth up to three quarters of an inch. The three quarter inch Fibre is very uncommon, $he aberage length being between one eight inch and three sixteenths of an inch. The Fibre would fall into groups h tbe Canadian Johns Manville System of grading. The tensile strength of the k'ibre is strong. The quality of the Fibre ranges from moderately harsh to silky. ASSAY RESULTS Rock samples were collected for Assay purposes, but the Certificates did not indicate anything of value. The samples were assayed for copper, nickel, zinc, and gold.

6 GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY A magnetometer survey along the base line was ma.de in order to aid in the determination if the fibre zones on the property are joined below the surface, and also if they were continuous. CONCLUSION It was estimated from surface work that the fibre zone has a potential of 13 million tons of ore. Diamond drilling could prove additional tonnages. The fibre lengths average between 1/8" - 3/16", giving groups The over all percentage averaged 20/0 fibre in the Ore Zone. It is the opinion of this writer that this fibre deposite would not prove econominical to mine at - the present time.
