OMENICA PROPERTY

Omineca, BC

The property is located in North Central BC within the prolific copper-gold producing Quesnel terrane.

Previous work on the Omineca project included reconnaissance prospecting, mapping and geochemical sampling, which identified high copper and gold soil geochemistry within the property in a porphyry copper-gold setting. An overlapping anomalous zone of >1,000 ppm Cu (0.1%) in soils and up to 250 ppb Au in soils (0.25 g/t Au) covers over 1.8 km in extent. Anomalous gold values (>50 ppb) extend a further 1.5 km beyond this zone.

A compilation of historical work was undertaken during the first half of 2017. Additional claims were added to the property to cover possible extensions of the soil anomaly to the south of the existing targets. Reconnaissance geological mapping and soil sampling was completed in August 2017. A total of 8 rock and 58 soil samples were collected to delineate the southern boundary of Au in soils in historical soil data. This program succeeded in extending the Au in soil anomaly another 1 km along strike to a combined size of 1 x 5 km area with > 100 ppb Au which is open to the south and east. A vein sampled in this area returned 20.9 g/t Au.

In September 2018, a program of geological mapping and prospecting of the eastern gold/copper soil anomaly was completed. This eastern portion of the larger soil anomaly is associated with propylitic and fe-carbonate alteration of diorite and volcanic with local magnetite stockworks. Analytical results for 57 rocks samples comprised grab samples from talus (transported) and bedrock were received in December 2018. Of the 57 samples analyzed, 6 samples returned values greater than 1,000 ppm copper.

Analytical work was performed. Rocks were crushed, split and pulverized with a subset of 250 g rock sieved to 200 mesh and analyzed for gold by fire assay fusion Au by ICP-ES 30. In September 2019, a day of geological mapping and sampling was completed, and results are being currently compiled.

The Company received BC mining exploration tax credits of $6,187 and $12,462 relating to Omineca’s 2019 and 2018 qualifying exploration expenditures, respectively. The exploration tax credits were recorded as reductions to the exploration and evaluation expenditures in 2019 and 2018
