A. INTRODUCTION

1. Geography and Physiography

The forty unit DEW Group is situated within the central part of the

Cascade Mountains, twenty kilometres northeast of Hope, B.C. on Dewdney

Creek (Figure 1). Access to the property is gained via the Dewdney

Creek forestry road which joins the Coquihalla road about 24 kilometres

from Hope. Old logging roads, many of which are passable by 4 wheel

drive vehicle, provide excellent access to the western half of the group

(Figure 2). Upgrading of the impassable roads would require a minimal

amount of work.

The depth of overburden varies considerably on the property. East

of Snider Creek, till cover is minimal with good rock exposure. Snider

Creek, a paleotopographic depression, contains a thick deposit of till,

with exposed thicknesses in excess of 15 metres. West of Snider Creek,

a moderate amount of till cover is suggested by the rolling topography,

and the rarity of outcrop.

The grid was placed on the north facing slope of Snider Mountain,

facing the Dewdney Creek Valley. Steeply incised Snider Creek modifies

this to produce a slope facing northeast on the west side of Snider

Creek, and a northwest facing slope on the east side. Relief is

moderate to steep with elevations ranging from 600 metres to 1400 metres

above sea level.

\

The eastern half of the claims is covered by an old burn, now

heavily overgrown, containing small isolated stands of cedar, spruce and

hemlock. Clear cut logging has been carried out on the western half of

the claims.

2. Property Definition

The DEW claims were originally staked in 1981 by a predecessor

company of Aberford Resources Ltd. The claims were centred over

Page 5: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca
Page 6: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca
Page 7: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

drainages which yielded anomalous gold and tungsten values in heavy

mineral and stream sediment samples (White, 1982). Field work carried

out by Aberford Resources Ltd. in 1982 identified an area of elevated

arsenic soil geochemistry on the DEW 3 claim. Geological mapping

indicated that this area corresponds to the contact between fine

volcanoclastic sedimentary rocks of the Lower to Upper Jurassic age

Ladner Group, and a predominantly granitic suite of rocks forming a

narrow extension of the Eocene to Miocene age Needle Peak Pluton. A

more detailed program, the subject of this report, was carried out in

August, 1983

Several claim groups exist both to the northwest and southeast of the

property. To the southeast, on the divide between Dewdney Creek and the

Tulameen River, Treasure Mountain is covered by several crown granted

claims, remnants of an old lead-silver camp worked in the early part of

the century. The recent opening of the Carolin Gold Mine (1981) to the

northwest has been associated with the staking of a large acreage of

land. Aquarius Resources Ltd. of Edmonton controls much of the ground

along the Coquihalla Serpentine belt - Ladner Group contact (Hozameen fault), which hosts the gold mineraliztion at Carolin. The western

boundary of the DEW property adjoins this claim group.

The DEW 1 and 3 claims, located in the New Westminster Mining

Division, NTS 92H/6~ consist of:

- Two 20 unit claims = 1,000 hectares or 2,471.2 acres

Record # 1345 and 1347 respectively

- Located by M. Dawson, agent for Aberford Resources (formerly Pan Ocean Oil Ltd.)

- Recorded on November 12, 1981 - Due November 12, 1983

Page 8: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

3. Program Summary

In August, 1983, a two-week field program involving geological

mapping and geochemical sampling was undertaken to further define the

arsenic anomaly identified in the western most soil geochemistry line of

the 1982 program.

A chained and flagged grid approximately 2 kilometres square in

area was put in on the western half of the DEW 3 claim (refer to Plate

1). The grid extends for 1 kilometre east of the western boundary of

DEW 3, and covers the entire area between the claims north and south

boundaries. A total of 168 soil samples were collected at 100 metre

stations on 16 kilometres of grid lines spaced 100 metres apart. In

addition, 34 rock chip samples, 9 heavy mineral panned concentrates, and

13 stream sediment samples were collected for analysis.

Geological mapping on a scale of 1:10,000 was carried out on the 2

kilometre square grid area to better define the location and nature of

the contact between the Ladner Group sediments and the Needle Peak

Pluton.

B. GEOLOGY

1. Ladner Group

The area is underlain by the Lower to Middle Jurassic age Ladner

Group rocks which are part of the Tyaughton-Methow trough (Figure 3) in

the northern Cascade system. This group occupies a northwest trending

belt extending from the international boundary to Boston Bar in the

north. The group is a thick marine succession consisting of slate,

pelite, sandstone consisting of interbedded andesitic to dacitic

volcanic detritus, minor conglomerate, tuffaceous greywacke and local

volcanic flows.

Page 9: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

FIGURE 3:

Cross Section of the

Northern Cascade System.

Page 10: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

On the property (refer to Plate 2 in back pocket), Ladner Group

rocks are represented by dark grey to black argillite, slate and

greywacke, with a few interbeds and small lenses of pebbly wacke and

conglomerate. Bedding is generally vertical with local steep easterly

or westerly dips. A prominent slaty cleavage parallel or sub-parallel

to bedding is locally evident.

Adjacent to the Needle Peak Pluton, the Ladner Group has been

partly converted to a dark grey to black, generally pyritic, siliceous

hornfels which locally contains porphyroblasts of andalusite up to 2mm

in size.

The Ladner Group is believed to represent a distal turbidite

sequence. Although not seen on the property, well preserved sedimentary

structures (cross-bedding, groove and load casts) indicate turbidity

current deposition with an eastern provenance (Ray, 1982).

2. Dewdney Creek Group

Regionally overlying the Ladner Group is the Upper Jurassic age

Dewdney Creek Group. This group comprises a sequence of massive, poorly

bedded sandstone which is comprised of green volcanic detritus, poorly

sorted polymictic conglomerate, and laminated greywacke. Though not

seen on the property, it is well exposed immediately east of the Needle

Peak Pluton.

3. Needle Peak Pluton

The Eocene to Miocene age Needle Peak Pluton, a predominantly

granitic suite of rocks, intrudes the Ladner Group, and underlies the

east half of the claims. Four phases of this pluton have been seen on

the property: a marginal hornblende diorite phase, a biotite - + hornblende granodiorite phase, minor hornblende-biotite quartz diorite,

and minor porphyritic (k-feldspar) quartz monzonite. These phases

probably represent the differentiation of a single magma, multi-stage

intrusive event (Belik, 1982).

Page 11: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

4. Other Intrusive Rocks

The Ladner .Group is cut by two main sill or dyke forming intrusive

rocks (Ray, 1983). One is a generally fine grained mafic to ultramafic

intrusive which forms sills, dykes and irregular masses. The other is a

light brown coloured quartz feldspar porphyry system which also forms

sills and dykes. This generally granitic system has been shown to

attain a syenitic composition in some locations. Ray (1982) cites two

references to Cairnes (1924, G.S.C. Mem. 139; 1929, G.S.C. Summ. Report,

Part A) who considered these bodies to be genetically related to

reef-hosted gold in the area. Regionally, these dykes have been found

to contain pyrite, arsenopyrite and gold, though only pyrite was found

in the dykes on the property. Quartz veining, often containes minor

pyrite, arsenopyrite and gold is associated with this intrusive.

Observations made on the DEW claims iadicate that the source of these

feldspar porphyry dykes may have been the Needle Peak Pluton. Most of

the dykes encountered ranges from lOcm to 20cm in width, ocassionally

being as wide as 50cm. However, a 20 metre wide, coarse grained

feldspar-quartz dyke was encountered near station 1E-13s on the grid.

Though unmineralized, this dyke is compositionally very similar to the

finer grained mineralized feldspar porphyry dykes.

C. STRUCTURE

Major northwest trending transverse and strike-slip faults exhibiting '

large displacements occur within the Tyaughton-Methow trough, transecting

the area of the DEW claims (Figure 4). The two most significant are the

east Hozameen fault and the Chewanten fault. The east Hozameen fault, which

occurs about 1 kilometre west of the claim group, separates the Coquihalla

Serpentine Belt to the west from the Ladner Group. Along this contact, the

Ladner Group hosts the mineralization in the Coquihalla Gold Belt (Figure

4). The Chewanten fault, occurring about 5 kilometres to the east of the

claim group, separates Ladner Group rocks from the Upper Cretaceous age

Pasayten sedimentary rocks which lie to the east of the fault.

A third fault, trending northwest, transects the DEW claims. This fault

has been mapped as the boundary between the Ladner Group and the Needle Peak

Pluton in the vicinity of the claim group (Monger, 1970) but observations on

the property indicate that this is not strictly true. A halo of hornfelsed

sedimentary rocks of the Ladner Group, locally metamorphosed to andalusite

grade, occurs adjacent to the pluton, and actual intrusive contacts can be

identified in outcrop. Therefore, this fault either postdates or was

synchronous with the intrusive event.

Folds on the property are generally tight and isoclinal, as indicated

by the near vertical east and west dipping strata. Axial planes trend

north-south. Drag folding, possibly related to faulting, is well exposed in

Snider Creek.

D MINERALIZATION

The most interesting mineralization noted on the property occurs in

quartz veining associated with feldspar porphyry dykes hosted by the Ladner

Group. All deposits and occurrences cited by Ray (1983) within the

Coquihalla Gold Belt show gold mineralization of the Ladner Group

accompanied by the introduction of silica, either as quartz veins or as

diffuse silicification, and several (including one past producer) exhibit,

the felsite porphyry association. Examples, shown on Figure 4 of this i

report are:

Ward deposit (4,199 oz Au), producer No. 5

Rush of the Bull, occurrence No. 9

Emigrant, occurrence No. 17

Spuz, A, B, G and Monument, occurrence No. 20

Page 14: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

On the DEW claims, a rock chip sample of this type of quartz vein

contained highly anomalous amounts of gold and arsenic. In addition, this

association is likely responsible for the highly anomalous soil sample at

station 5W-18s because a "swarm" of feldspar porphyry dykes occurs at this

location.

Previous work on the property (see Belik, 1982) revealed minor scheelite

within quartz veining associated with a pyritic felsic dyke in Dewdney

Creek. A composite sample of the dyke geochemically assayed only 2ppm

tungsten. The significance of tungsten mineralization is not known, but it

is interesting to note that gold mineralization in both the Idaho Zone

(Carolin Mine, producer #3 on Figure 4) and the Spuz occurrence is

associated with weak tungsten geochemical anomalies.

A relatively strong 'pyrite halo' is evident peripheral to the Needle

Peak Pluton. Here, pyrite and pyrrhotite, in amounts up to lo%, and rare

chalcopyrite occur as fine - grained disseminations and fracture fillings within Ladner Group and Dewdney Creek Group sediments. Similar mineral-

ization can be seen in the hornfels adjacent to the pluton, and locally

within diorite along the margins of the pluton.

Mineralization is rare within the Needle Peak Pluton. The pluton

locally contains widely spaced, narrow quartz veins with minor pyrite. \

Fracturing is poorly developed but locally exceeds 10 fractures per metre

near the margins of the pluton. Narrow northeast - trending quartz - sericite - pyrite alteration zones were noted at a few locations in 1982.

E . GEOCHEMISTRY

All soil, rock chip and stream sediment samples were geochemically

analysed for gold, arsenic and tungsten. Heavy mineral panned concentrates

were analysed for gold, arsenic, tungsten, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.

Page 15: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

All analyses were performed by Bondar-Clegg and Company Ltd., located at 130

Pemberton Avenue, North Vancouver, B.C.

1. Sampling Method

a) Soils

A total of 168 soil samples were collected during the 1983 program.

Samples were collected by digging a hole, using Estwing rock pick

shovels, to a depth of 15-30cm. The "B" horizon was sampled except

where soil development necessitated sampling the "B-C" horizon. Samples

were placed in standard kraft envelopes. Orange and blue flagging tape

was secured at each grid station, and the station number was indicated

on the flag with permanent ink felt marker.

b) Heavy Mineral Panned Concentrates

A total of 9 heavy mineral panned concentrate (HVKL) samples were taken

from the active part of the stream bed at locations where a decrease in

stream velocity allowed for sediment accumulation (ie. pools, bars). A

vertical section of sediments was shoveled into a /I6 mesh screen until

sufficient -6 mesh fraction was obtained to completely fill a standard

38.lcm (15 inch) steel gold pan. The -6 mesh fraction was panned to a

volume of 30ml to 50ml of heavy material, and transferred to 70ml ,

plastic snap-top bottles.

c) Stream Sediments

A total of 13 stream sediment samples were collected from Snider Creek

and its tributaries. Samples were taken from the active part of the

stream bed, and placed in standard waterproof kraft envelopes.

Page 16: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

2. Laboratory Methods

a) Preparation '

All soil and stream sediment samples were dried, then seived to obtain a

-80 mesh fraction. Rock samples were crushed to pea size fragments

(about 0.5cm), then a 0.23kg (0.5 lb) split was pulverized to -100 mesh.

All heavy mineral panned concentrate samples were completely

pulverized.

b) Determination

Analytical determinations were conducted as follows:

Cu,Pb,Zn,Ag ~ o t HNO~ Atomic Absorption PPM

As Nitric Perchloric Colourimetric PPM

W Carbonate Fusion Colourimetric PPM

Au Aqua Regia Fire Assay A.A. PPB

3. Results

\

a) Soils

Visual examination of the analytical results for gold, arsenic and

tungsten was used to determine appropriate value designations for

contour intervals. Gold in soils, Figure 5, is contoured at 15ppb and

20ppb, which correspond to the following designations:

Background <15ppb

Possibly Anomalous 15 - <20ppb Definitely Anomalous >20ppb

Page 17: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca
Page 18: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

Arsenic in soils, Figure 5, is contoured at 50ppm and lOOppm, which are

designated as follows:

Background <50ppm

Possibly Anomalous 50 - <100ppm Anomalous >lOOppm

Contour intervals were selected on a trial-and-error basis to avoid

the production of "Bullseye" anomalies; a relatively high value for the

first contour was selected, with successively lower contour intervals

attempted until one was found that produced reasonable results (ie. an

area of high values contained within a halo of lower values). This

technique worked well with both gold and arsenic. However, the choice

of a 15ppb contour interval for gold is controversial because the

detection limit for this element is 5ppb + - 5ppb.

Tungsten results for soils were not plotted or contoured because no

values significantly above a background of 2-3ppm were obtained.

Analytical results are contained in the geochemical lab reports

(Appendix 11).

Threshold values for gold and arsenic are indicated below. Valuep

greater than those shown are considered anomalous.

4. DISCUSSION

Arsenic in soils shows a good response across the central portion of the

grid. This east-west trending anomaly, 700 metres wide at its widest point,

contains two subparallel belts of strongly anomalous values on the east side

of the Creek. Both of these strongly anomalous belts are on the order of

lOOm wide. The northerly belt is at least 400 metres long and is open ended

to the east. The southerly belt is at least 200 metres long, however the

weak halo enveloping this belt continues westward across the creek. The

till cover in the creek and on the slope to the west presumably masks a

stronger response. A disconcerting note to the western extension of this

weak anomaly is that it follows the old logging road remarkably well. If

the fill for this road was taken from a pit on the east side of Snider

Creek, a false anomaly could be created adjacent to the road bed.

Gold anomalies correspond well to the delineated arsenic anomaly belt.

Station 1E - 700s has the highest value of 120ppb Au with 600ppm As. Several moderately strong spot anomalies in gold also occur on the east side

of the creek (Station 1E-10s @ 55ppb Au, and 3W-12s @ 35ppb Au), and have

weakly anomalous halos extending downslope towards Snider Creek.

On the west side of the creek, the narrow central grid arsenic anomaly

corresponds to a zone of low to moderate gold values that is at least 300

metres wide and open ended to the west. Anomalies in this area are l

supported by stream sediment samples JERSS-3 and 4 (40ppb Au and 35ppb Au

respectively), both of which are anomalous in gold and arsenic.

A similar situation exists in the extreme northwest corner of the grid.

Two stations have strongly anomalous Au + As responses (station 8W-2s @

215ppb Au + 190ppm As; station 6+50W-3s @ 160ppb Au + 180ppm As), encompassed by a larger area of low to moderate gold values. Gold responds

over an area that is about 200m wide, and being open ended to the west, is

at least 200 metres long.

Page 21: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

On the southern portion of the grid, gold anomalies in soils are

substantiated by anomalous stream sediment and heavy mineral samples. In

soils, gold and arsenic are both strongly anomalous only at station 5W-18s

(Au 150ppb, As 600ppm). Stream sediment and heavy mineral samples taken

from the upper reaches of Snider Creek restrict this anomaly to the Creek's

west branch, and cut it off just downstream of line 7W (heavy mineral sample

KR-6).

A single rock sample was anomalous in both gold and arsenic (JER-019 @

265ppb Au + >1000ppm As). This sample was taken approximately 100 metres

upstream of the main Snider Creek crossing, and consisted of quartz veining

associated with some pyritic feldspar porphyry dyking. A sample of the dyke

taken at the same location contained no gold (JER-018 @ <5ppb Au, 32ppm As).

Two other samples of this type of dyke also failed to respond for gold:

JER-013, taken from a 20 metres wide dyke adjacent to the Needle Pead Pluton

and JER-015, taken at the western edge of the property.

Samples of the quartz veining associated with these dykes showed

varying responses to gold. Sample JER-004 (80ppb Au, 37ppm As), taken from

the location of the feldspar porphyry dyke "swarm" on line 5W, was weakly

mineralized with gold, while JER-009 (5ppb Au, 47ppm As) responded only with

a background level of gold.

i

F. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Gold mineralization on the property appears to be restricted to the

quartz veining associated with the feldspar porphyry dykes. This conclusion

is supported by the results of the soil geochemistry which indicate that

mineralized features cross-cut the northerly trending structural fabric of

the area, and by the few rock samples that were taken.

Page 22: BRANCH r REPORT - aris.empr.gov.bc.ca

Additional work involving intensive rock sampling, and detailed soil

geochemistry is recommended. Rock sampling should concentrate on the quartz

veins associated with the felsite dykes. Two additional lines of soil

samples should be put in on the DEW-3 claim to cutoff the open ended

anomalies that exist. One line would be along the west boundary of DEW-3,

and another added to the east side of the existing grid.
