The Blue Grouse Property100% ownership
The Blue Grouse Property is 20 km to the west of Campbell River B.C. by road. The Blue Grouse showing is a skarn outcrop hosted in Bonanza volcanics, sediments and limestone of Triassic age, similar in setting to the Coast Copper deposit to the north and the skarn adjacent to Island Copper further north.
Government reports detail a 1956 shipment of 19 tonnes of hand cobbed ore from the claims. 560 grams of silver, 2,190 kilograms of copper and 13 kilograms of lead were won from this shipment.
Since 1999 a soil grid has been completed over the northern two thirds of the project with 30 element ICP and a magnetometer survey. A low profile magnetic anomaly to the north of the Blue Grouse showing may be analogous to the low profile magnetic anomaly over the Island Copper deposit. There are copper analyses up to 235 ppm in humus soil samples around this magnetic anomaly but deep overburden may be masking the true nature of underlying mineralization. This overburden covers the entire grid area except for the skarn showing in the creek. Two diamond drill holes were completed by the Company in 2002, one of which was successful in intersecting 1.52 m of mineralized skarn material at 0.356 gpt gold and 3.3% copper.
The property is subject to a 2% NSR royalty.
