History 1960s Regional mapping and sampling by Cominco and Kennco focused on porphyry potential at Black Lake, Shasta, Pine, Kemess North, Brenda, and Sickle-Sofia. 1980s 3 epithermal gold-silver mines developed in the Toodoggone region (Baker, Lawyers, Shasta) Peralto Resources and Skylark Resources conducted geological and geochemical programs at nearby Kevin, Pil-Lar and Chess epithermal gold prospects. 1999-2002 Stealth Minerals staked initial Sickle-Sofia claims based on anomalous 1997 BCGS silt samples. Prospecting identified veins and silicified zones anomalous in gold and silver. 2003-2004 Stealth Minerals completed prospecting, mapping, airborne geophysics, soil geochemistry and diamond drilling on Sickle-Sofia and surrounding Toodoggone properties. 10,000 rock, core and soil samples 880 PIMA alteration analysis 3,323m (24 holes) diamond drilling testing Quartz Lake and Griz-Sickle veins 2005-2006 Stealth completed 42 line-km of IP and ground magnetic geophysics covering western portion of Sickle-Sofia property. 5
History (2) September 2006 Sickle-Sofia property optioned to BCGold Corp. 2007 BCGold Corp. focused on the porphyry potential of the Sofia and Alexandra showings Completed additional 36 line-km of IP and ground magnetic geophysics. 3D inversion of IP chargeability and resistivity defined a 5.5 sq-km anomaly. Completed 1,514m of diamond drilling (4 holes Sophia / 1 hole Alexandra). Drill hole BCG07-01 collared near Sophia outcrop intersected porphyry-style mineralization throughout length of drill hole. Two copper-gold zones returned 25m of 0.15% Cu / 0.12 g/t Au; and 47m of 0.13% Cu / 0.08 g/t Au. Drill hole BCG07-03 intersected high-sulphidation alteration and anomalous gold mineralization. Entire hole returned average 260m of 0.16 g/t Au, including bottom 20m assayed 0.45 g/t Au. Other 3 drill holes testing the IP chargeability-high intersected widespread pyrite mineralization with narrow zones anomalous in gold +/- copper. May represent the pyritic halo of the porphyry system. 6
Property Location Sickle-Sofia property is 35km north of the Kemess Mine in northern British Columbia, Canada Kemess Mine is located 410 km north of Mackenzie, BC along the all-weather Omineca Resource Road Summer road servicing Shasta Mine and Sturdee Airstrip is 10 km from Sickle-Sofia 7
Regional Geology Toodoggone region consists of Stikine / Quesnel Terranes which are primarily island-arc volcanic belts of late Triassic to early Jurassic age Stikine/Quesnel rocks are fault bounded to the east by older, metamorphosed sedimentary rocks of Cassiar Terrane Region is intruded by coeval (early-mid Jurassic) and post-accretionary (early Cretaceous) plutons 8
Regional Geology (Intrusive Rocks) Mid-Jurassic Black Lake Intrusive suite includes: Black Lake Pluton (granodiorite to quartz monzonite) Jock Creek Pluton (quartz monzonite, diorite) Giegerich and Duncan Lake Plutons (hornblendebiotite granodiorite, monzonite, quartz monzonite, quartz diorite) Sovereign Pluton (quartz-hornblende-biotite granodiorite to tonalite) Porphyry copper-gold mineralization associated with quartz monzonite dykes and dyke swarms 9
Sickle-Sofia Property Geology West dipping Triassic Takla Fm. exposed at the Sophia outcrop, consists of andesite flows with augite phenocrysts Jurassic Toodoggone Fm. in the west consists of intercalated andesite flows and crystal/lithic tuff Overlain by mafic and rhyolite flows indicating bimodal volcanism topped with 2 to 4 metre erosional unconformity Epithermal mineralization occurs below unconformity, implying extrusive ( VMS ) mineralization potential 10
Property Geology (Intrusive Rocks) Mapping identified a large, west dipping quartz monzonite stock of the Black Lake group Stock intrudes the upper Takla Group, and is coeval with the overlying Toodoggone Fm. volcanic rocks The Black Lake stock was mapped over an 18 km strike length around the margins of Nub Mountain Massif Sofia copper-gold porphyry mineralization is associated with magnetite bearing phase of the Black Lake Pluton, or a nested stock related to the Jock Creek Pluton 11

Sofia Porphyry Discovery Copper-Gold porphyry targets at lower elevations. Sofia porphyry outcrop discovered on shore of Toodoggone River. Outcrop displays pervasive potassic alteration and quartzmagnetite-chalcopyrite veins. Valley blanketed with glacial till with little outcrop exposure. B- horizon soil sampling does not respond well.

Sickle-Sofia IP, Cu-Au Soil Geochemistry and Diamond Drilling Previous operators focused on epithermal gold veins at Quartz Lake-Griz-Sickle In 2007, BCGold focused on porphyry exploration. Completed 32 km IP survey and 5 drill holes (1,514 m). DDH BCG07-01 intersects copper-gold porphyry mineralization at Sophia DDH BCG07-03 intersects highsulphidation gold mineralization at Alexandra Drilling, IP geophysics, with soil geochem and mapping at higher elevations indicate the discovery of a preserved, telescoping porphyry-epithermal system Numerous targets require drill testing! 18
Soil Geochemistry Gold-in-Soil Copper-in-Soil B-Horizon soil geochemistry works well at higher elevations with thin overburden. Fails to highlight the Sofia porphyry discovery covered by thicker glacial till. 19

Summary Drilling, alteration mapping, soil geochemistry and a 5.5 sq-km IP geophysical anomaly all indicate the discovery of a copper-gold porphyry with an intact high-sulphidation overprint. Next Steps: Step out drilling near Sophia and Alexandra discoveries Drill test other high-priority targets such as Alunite Ridge and BS Gold Expand soil geochemistry and IP/magnetic geophysics on the east side of the Toodoggone River 25
