Haskins Mountain B.C. - Molybdenum, silver, lead and zinc deposit

Property Description

The Haskin Property has two deposit types, which occur as Mo-Cu porphyry and Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag Skarn. Bismuth, gold and tin values were also noted. Significant previous drilling has provided a basis for further work on the property. A 3000m drill program is proposed for 2005.
A molybdenite-quartz-muscovite stockwork is developed in fine and coarse granitic porphyry and extends into the adjacent cherty sediments. An aplitic lens in the center of the molybdenum zone contains disseminated molybdenite and molybdenum-coated fractures. The molybdenum zone measures about 600m by 100-150m and to166m thick. On the northwestern flank of Mount Haskin, granitic to aplitic rocks of the Eocene Mount Haskin stock intrude Lower Cambrian Atan Group limestones, phyllites and quartzites.

Two northwest trending pyrrhotite- sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite massive skarn lenses occur in calc-silicate hornfels (Atan Group rocks) just to the north of the molybdenum zone. These are cut by faults trending about 010 degrees. Sericitic alteration is common.

Haskin has a drill-indicated resource of 13.5 million tons grading 0.09% Mo. The A zone combined with the Fort Reliance Zone has a previously established drill-inferred resource of 700,000 tons grading 5% zinc, 3% lead and 1 oz/t silver.
