HUCKELBERRY PROPERTY

Huckleberry Property

Arcwest staked 2,525 hectares on the northern boundary of Imperial Metals past producing Huckleberry copper-goldmolybdenum mine located 85 km southwest of Houston BC. The staked mineral claim boundary is approximately 1.5 km from the Huckleberry East Zone open pit and contains two known porphyry-style copper-molybdenum-gold showings named the Suss (MINFILE 093E 086) and the Wee (MINFILE 093E 087). Exploration completed by previous explorers as early as 1973 targeted coincident anomalous copper-gold-molybdenum-silver-lead-zinc values with several shallow percussion drill holes. Only one drill hole intercepted bedrock which returned weak copper values and strong alteration. The Huckleberry property is underlain by Early Jurassic Telkwa Formation volcanic rocks of the Hazelton Group and discrete stocks of Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions. Telkwa Formation rocks typically consist of maroon, green and purple subaerial andesitic to dacitic feldspar phyric flows, pyroclastic and epiclastic rocks, augite phyric to aphyric basalt, breccia, welded tuff of calc-alkaline composition. The Bulkley Intrusive suite typically consist of equigranular, crystalline, biotite-hornblende quartz-diorite and diorite. The neighbouring past producing Huckleberry mine opened in 1997 and ceased operations in August 2016 and remains on care and maintenance
