MCGILLIVRAY PROJECT, BRITISH COLUMBIA
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The McGillivray property is centered on McGillivray Creek and is located 34kilometes east-southeast of Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada and is well served by roads and power. The claims are approximately midway between Lytton and Lillooet, on the east side of the Fraser River.
The McGillivray property consists of 235 claim cells totaling 4,646 hectares, acquired by staking in 2005 and later to cover an historical copper porphyry target property with a large gossanous alteration zone to explore for its precious metal potential.
The property geology consists of fault bounded slices of dioritic and granodioritic intrusives of the Permian to Triassic age Mount Lytton Complex, with highly altered Lower Cretaceous andestic volcanics of the Pimainus Formation of the Spences Bridge group. The western side of the property is next to the regional Fraser River fault. Within the fault bounded slices of altered volcanics are strong alteration zones with evidence of drusy quartz and anomalous silver soil samples. The mineral deposit type that is recommended to target for is for the exploration for epithermal precious metals.
The property is located near the recently discovered epithermal precious metal Skoonka Creek property. The McGillivray claims cover ground originally staked in the 1940's. Previous work in the area covered by the property outlined large zones of hydrothermal alteration and anomalous copper in soil geochemistry at the time when the focus of much exploration was toward porphyry copper targets.
The 2006 work program has indicated the potential for an epithermal precious metal mineralized system. The work consisted of grid development, preliminary geological mapping as well as soil and rock geochemistry. There are elevated silver values in soil and subcrop samples.
The next stage is to extend the existing grid and soil sampling to fill in between the grid and the ridge lines and trench the area of the anomalous samples from the 2006 program and any new targets outlined in the proposed soil sample program.
