About the Takla Property

The Takla Property is comprised of five mineral claims, totaling 4,198 hectares (10,374 acres), located in the Omineca Mining Division, B.C. The region was first prospected in the mid-1800's for its placer gold and after for the lode gold sources. The property was actively explored between 1969 and 1992 by such companies as Imperial Metals Corporation and Eastfield Resources Ltd. Geochemical sampling and geophysical surveying identified a number of zones of gold and copper-gold mineralization. Shallow diamond drilling (87 holes) was concentrated on three structurally-controlled zones of gold mineralization.

Gold-copper mineralization has been identified in four zones, referred to as the 'Red', 'West', 'East' and 'South' zones, associated with northwesterly trending K-feldspar megacrystic granitic dykes. The majority of the historic drill testing has been carried out in the West zone that consists of up to five parallel, sub-vertical gold-bearing structures, tested for 289 metres along strike, 100 metres in width and to a depth of 140 metres. It occurs within a poorly tested strong pyritic halo measuring over 1000 metres long by 150 metres wide. The East zone has been tested for 183 metres along strike, across 130 metres and to a depth of 140 metres. This zone contains two or more parallel, sub-vertical gold-bearing vein structures. The South zone is largely untested laterally and to depth, measuring approximately 275 metres along strike. The Red zone is located 1.2 kilometres northwest of the West zone. There, low grade copper-gold mineralization is more typical of a calc-alkaline porphyry copper-gold system. Only a few drill holes have tested this zone with the best copper grades occurring near surface.

A limited diamond drilling program has been proposed for completion during October to confirm the historic drilling and test the open strike and downdip extensions of the 'West' and 'East' zones of gold mineralization.
