2. THE BIG BEND ADVANTAGETHE BIG BEND ADVANTAGE
• THE BRITISH COLUMBIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BRANCH RANKS THE BIG
BEND REGION AMONG THE TOP TEN PERCENT IN THE PROVINCE FOR
METALLIC AND INDUSTRIAL MINERAL DEPOSIT DISCOVERY POTENTIAL
• THE REGION IS WELL SERVICED BY GRID ELECTRIC POWER,
MAINLINE/LOGGING ROADS, AND IS CLOSE TO THE RESOURCE AND
TRANSPORTATION HUB CITY OF REVELSTOKE, BC, CANADA
• THE CITY OF REVELSTOKE (POPULATION ~8,000) IS LOCATED ON THE
CPR MAINLINE AND ON THE TRANSCANADA HIGHWAY 1
• THE CITY IS A BUSINESS CENTER THAT HAS SERVICE SHOPS FOR
WELDING, ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE, MACHINING AND MACHINERY
REPAIRS
• THE CITY’S INDUSTRIAL PARK HAS A CPR SIDING THAT CAN
ACCOMMODATE BULK MATERIAL, MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT AND
STRUCTURAL COMPONENT TRANSFER
• GOLDSTREAM 1,360TPD CUSTOM MILL CENTRAL TO THE AREA
• CLOSE TO THE WORLD‐CLASS TRAIL PB/ZN SMELTER
• CLOSE TO DEEP SEA PORTS AT VANCOUVER VIA CPR OR ROAD

Property located
105km north of
Revelstoke, BC
Canada and 22km
south of BC Hydro’s
Revelstoke Dam
and power facility
14. BC GSB reports showings
as SEDEX Zn-Pb-Ag
in MinFile No. 082M190
Rift Discovery: 29.5% Zn, 6.9% Pb over 0.8m
Core Hole M85-2: 22.2% Zn, 4.8% Pb over 1.8m
(400m east of discovery)
22. RECOMMENDATIONSRECOMMENDATIONS
1) Drill targets already defined near the Rift
discovery should be drilled.
2) Soil sample grids should be extended
beyond those completed in 1999 and 2001.
3) Ground magnetics and VLF-EM should
be completed on the grids in (2) as well
as rock sampling and mapping.
4) Regional (on and around Property) stream
silt sampling should be conducted and
analyses should include 30 element ICP
and REEs.
5) The entire Property should be covered by
an airborne survey (magnetics and EM).
6) Prospect the West and Northwest parts
of the Property for gold and REEs.

25. George Cross News Letter - 1966
Clearwater Mines Limited
January 20, 1966: Channel sampling across
a true width of 20ft returned 1.21% Cu and
1.23% Zn. Drilling is planned.
June 14, 1966: First two holes abandoned in
OB, third hole reported to be well mineralized
from 112ft to 206ft.
July 8, 1966: Hole four contained intersections
from 170ft to 205ft and 225ft to 270ft
averaging 0.60% Cu and 0.47% Cu
respectively.
July 18, 1966: Hole five reported to contain a
98ft section between 187-285ft with grades
running between 0.45% Cu and 1.14% Cu.
October 11, 1966: Drilling suspended after
three holes completed. Results indicate a
widespread copper-zinc bearing zone of low
to medium grade with large tonnage potential.
The next stage of exploration is extensive grid
drilling which requires additional financing.
26. RECOMMENDATIONSRECOMMENDATIONS
1) Drill targets already defined near the Copper
Queen discovery should be drilled.
2) Soil sample grids should be extended
beyond those completed in 1999 and 2000.
3) Ground magnetics and VLF-EM should
be completed on the grids in (2) as well
as rock sampling and mapping.
4) Regional (on and around Property) stream
silt sampling should be conducted and
analyses should include 30 element ICP
and REEs.
5) The entire Property should be covered by
an airborne survey (magnetics and EM).
6) Prospect the East side of the Property for
stratiform VMS in the footwall rocks of
the J&L.
7) Prospect the same area as (6) for the
possible source of high-grade sulfides at
junction of Carnes and McKinnon Creeks.
