The Fraser River Platinum property, located 3 km northwest of Lytton BC in an area known as the Van Winkle Bar, consists of 6
claim units covering 514 hectares (1,238 acres) along the Van Winkle Bar, and traversing 8.6 km along
the Fraser
River. Platinum and iridium are known to occur in the black sands of Van Winkle Bar. The source rocks are believed to be
Carboniferous-Jurassic Cache Creek Complex volcanic and sedimentary rocks to the north, where the company has also staked
claims. According to BC Open File 1986-7, the sands of the Van Winkle Bar have assayed up to 5681.1 grams (182.67 ounces) per
tonne platinum.
