Mineralization

The Mouse Mountain Property is a well developed target area with excellent data reporting on a long work history. The property has four known mineral occurrences spread along a 1500 meter long, north northwest trending zone on the northeast side of Mouse Mountain (Figure 14). The most significant prospect, the Valentine Zone, was drilled with 14 percussion holes by Bethlehem Copper in 1970. Quesnel Mines Ltd. stripped a part of the prospect in 1987 and sampled trenches. Teck Corporation completed the most substantive work at Mouse Mountain immediately after this. They focused on targets developed by Quesnel Mines, Placer Dome and others. Their work includes diamond drilling the "high grade" and Valentine zones and other targets and extensive ground geophysical work on three grids.

Mouse Mountain known mineral showings define a 1.5 km long mineralized corridor along the northeast flank of Mouse Mountain. The locations of the Teck geophysical grids (North 1991, South 1991 and Beaver 1991) and the Placer Dome 1989 geophysical and soil geochemical grid are outlined in blue. The topographic contour interval is 20 m and the UTM grid interval is 1 km. Barkerville highway (26) runs east through the middle of the map view.
