British Columbia, and consists of 17 claim units covering 1,502 hectares (3,712 acres). The property extends from
Constitution Hill and Wolf Lake southwest towards Mount Washington, and encompasses several zones of mineralization for 5
kilometres along Murex Creek, including the Lupus, Ideal, Murex, and the southern portion of the Domineer deposits at Mount
Washington.
The Lupus zone is on Constitution Hill, adjacent to Wolf Lake, and has assayed up to 2.7 ounces per ton gold and 5.7 ounces
per ton silver.
The Murex zone is on the northeast slope of Mt. Washington, and represents an area of mineralization covering approximately
700 by 700 metres. It has been previously tested by a number of diamond-drill holes, with a 4 metre section of core assaying
4.08 per cent copper, 32.91 grams per tonne silver and 6.31 grams per tonne gold.
The Ideal claims are situated midway between the Lupus and Murex zones, along Murex Creek. According to
, prospecting activities on the Ideal claims has resulted in chip samples assaying as high as 4.35 oz/t gold and 2.7
oz/t
silver.
The Domineer epithermal deposits are due west of the Murex zone, and 400 metres south of the Mount Washington Copper open pit
mine. It has a defined strike length of 1.5 kilometres and an average width of 61 metres. According to , drill indicated reserves on the Mt. Washington (Domineer) property stand at 606,600 tons grading 0.197 oz/ton gold
and
