Copper-Cobalt Project
The property comprises of 52 claims totaling 27,423.8 km². The property is located 35 km west of Kimberley, BC. Two drill holes (826.5m) were drilled on Hungry Creek in 2021 and five drill holes (1442m) were drilled on Hungry Creek in 2022 showing the potential for copper mineralization.

Copper, Cobalt
Location
The property is located 35 km west of Kimberley, BC. The northern and southern property boundary is accessible by good logging roads while the interior of the property is best accessed by helicopter. Geologically the property is hosted within the Mesoproterozoic Belt-Purcell basin and is being targeted for strata-bound Cu-Co-Ag analogous to other Belt-Purcell hosted deposits such as Sheep Creek, Spar Lake, Rock Creek, Montanore (Montana), and the Blackbird district (Idaho).
Technical Information
Geology
Select sulphide bearing float boulders in Hungry Creek and Flatrock Creek have returned highly elevated values for cobalt (up to 0.36%), copper (up to 5%), silver (33.5 g/t) and gold (1.49 g/t) (See Table 1 below). Testing of the sulphide rich boulders by handheld ohmmeter indicate high levels of electrical conductivity.
Note: Rock float samples were randomly selected and weighed between 0.54kg and 1.7kg.
All rock samples were placed in numbered and sealed bags and sent via secure transport to MSA Laboratory in Langley, BC for sample preparation and analyses. Rock samples were crushed down to 2 mm and a 250g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75µm. Sample cuts were subjected to a multi-element aqua regia digestion and analyzed for gold, silver and an additional 49 elements using inductively coupled plasma – auger electron spectroscopy/ mass spectrometry (ICP-AES/MS). Overlimit samples on copper and lead were analysed by a 4-acid inductively coupled plasma auger electrons spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish. MSALabs is an ISO 9001 registered laboratory and has a quality control program in place which includes the insertion of standard, blank, and duplicate samples, as well as conducting repeat analyses.
