SPARROWHAWK PROPERTY

Sparrowhawk Property

The road accessible Sparrowhawk Property covers 9,913 hectares and is strategically located in the Babine Porphyry Copper District adjacent to Glencore Canada's past producing Bell and Granisle open pit mines and Pacific Booker’s advanced stage Morrison Property. The Bell Mine was operated by Noranda between 1972 and 1992 and produced 77.2 Mt (million tonnes) of ore averaging 0.39% Cu (copper) and 0.16 g/t Au (gold). The Granisle Mine, located 8 kilometers south of the Sparrowhawk property, operated between 1966 and 1982 and produced 57.2 Mt of ore averaging 0.41% Cu and 0.13 g/t Au. The Sparrowhawk Property is 11 kilometers southeast of the Morrison copper deposit, with a proven and probable reserve of 224.25 Mt with an average grade of 0.33% Cu, 0.163 g/t Au and 0.004% Mo (molybdenum). The Sparrowhawk Property is underlain primarily by Early Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanic rocks and intrusive suites of Early Jurasssic, Late Cretaceous and Eocene ages. Faults connected to the regional Skeena Arch structural trend transect the area and are known controls at neighbouring deposits. Porphyry copper-gold deposits of the Babine District are associated with small plugs and dykes of Eocene Biotite-Feldspar (BFP) and Quartz-Feldspar (QFP) 6 porphyry which are emplaced primarily along two major north-northwest trending structural breaks (i.e., the Newman and Morrison faults). Both of these significant mineralized structures cross the Sparrowhawk property.
