INTRODUCTION

Between March 14 and March'l7, 1984, assessment work in the form of prospecting and heavy sediment geochemistry was carried out on the Blue, Koz, Dave and Barn mineral claims as well as the Completer Crown Grant.

The claim group is located in the Slocan Mining Division, cen- tered at 49" 5 0 ' N latitude, 118" 4' W longitude, on the east side of Lower Arrow Lake, 6 km southeast of Farquier, B.C. Highway 6 provides access to Farquier from Vernon to the west and Nakusp to the north. A series of logging roads south of Farquier give easy access to the claim group. From there, various skid roads access much of the property. The claim group is situated oq the western margin of the Selkirk Mountains between 600 - l,'125 m above sea level. A central northerly trending ridge deflects most of the drainage to the south, except Heart Creek which drains to the northwest. Mixed coniferous interior rain forest vegetation covers the claims, although the area has been logged, and much of the growth is secondary.

A program of prospecting, covering approximately 4 km2, and heavy sediment sampling, involving seven samples on two major creek systems was carried out to assess the potential of the claims for gold and silver mineralization. In the course of prospecting, twenty rock ch p samples were taken.

The Completer Crown Grant, L7309 , is located entirely within the Dave Claim and is also owned by Arrow Lakes Mines Ltd.

HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK

The Completer Claim L7309 was crown granted in 1908 according to the 1908 B.C. Minister of Mines Report. A private report by Shannon (1934) describes a 134 m adit, two 4.5 m deep shafts and surface stripping carried out during 1907 - 1914. The 1.2 x 1.8 m adit at elevation 945 m heads west towards the main vein swarm on this Crown Grant.

A report by Fawley (1965), was written for Pajo Mines Ltd., previous owners of the property. At that time, Fawley recom- mended a major drilling programme to test the mineralized veins, as well as geological mapping and geochemical sampling pro- grammes. There is no record of the recommendations of this report having been carried out.

GEOCHEMICAL SURVEY

A total of 20 rock chip samples were taken from the area of the showings and elsewhere on the property. Analysis for gold and silver, and in certain samples lead and zinc, was conducted at Chemex Labs in Vancouver. All rocks were initially ring ground to - 100 mesh, For gold,five (5) gram portions were then ashed at 8 0 0 " C for one hour, digested with aqua regia, twice to dry- ness and taken up in 25% HC1. Gold was then extracted as a bromide complex into Methyl Is0 Butal Ketone and analyzed via atomic absorption with a 10 parts per billion detection limit.

Silver analysis required 1 gram portions of each sample to be digested in concentrated perchloric-nitric acid for approximately 2 ihours. The digested sample was then cooled and made up to 25 ml with distilled water. The solution was then mixed and solids were allowed to settle. Silver concentration was then determined using correcterd atomic absorption techniques with a detection limit of 0.1 parts per million.

Analysis for lead and zinc involved the digestion of 1.0 gram portions of the sample in a HNO3 - HClQ mixture for 6 hours. Metal concentrations where then determined using corrected atomic absorption techniques with a detection limit of 1 ppm.

In order to deliniate potential gold and silver bearing creeks, a total of 7 2kg heavy sediment samples were also submitted to Chemex Labs. These samples were floated in Tetrabromoethene to isolate minerals with a specific gravity greater then 2.95 f

0.1 g/cm3. This fraction was then crushed to 100 mesh. Gold

anaylysis required 10 g portions to be fused with 10 mg of gold- free silver metal. The fusion was then cupelled and the result- ing silver bead parted with dilute nitric acid and treated with aqua regia. The remaining salts were then dissolved in dilute H C 1 and analyzed for gold via atomic absorption spectometer with a 5 ppb detection limit. Silver analysis was done as for soils.

PROSPECTING

A brief inspection of known mineralization on the Completer Crown Grant (Lot 7309) was conducted prior to the property traverse. The mineralization, exposed by trenching on the southern portion of the Crown Grant, consisted of pyrite, galena and locallized marcasite, finely disseminated but occasionally massive, in milky white quartz veins from .5 to 2.5 m in width. The veins cut coarse grained acidic monzonite (phenocrysts of feldspar up to 3 cm), striking generally 0 2 0 " - 0 3 5 " . The host rock has been highly altered along the margin of most veins to a homogenous grey colour (sericite?), at times to a distance equal to the width of the vein. Also noted in a trench northwest of the main showing, were several narrow ( 2 0 - 5 0 m) feldspar rich veins striking 0 2 0 " - 030".

A traverse was carried out to cover the prominent ridge running northeast of the showings in order to look for possible exten- tions of the vien system along strike. Outcrop exposure in the area of the traverse was extremely poor.

Outcrop, where exposed, consisted of small flat sections of the same intrusive hosting the veins in the showing area. One exposure of a green-grey volcanic unit found at the northern end of the ridge is believed to be part of a roof pendant.

Three samples were taken from two old blast trenches found on the ridge top approximately one kilometer from the original showings. Samples A 0 0 0 1 and A 0 0 0 2 were channel samples across a narrow quarts vein and a coincedental shear zone ( 1 6 5 / 6 0 SW) in the first trench. Sample A 0 0 0 3 was of silicous rubble with finely

disseminated pyrite in the second trench, 70 m due north of the first. Although neither had milky quartz in place, the first trench had some mixed in its dump material.

In order to locate the strike extension of the vein system, the traverse continued east of the ridge toward Heart Creek. Outcrop was restricted to the banks of old logging road cuts and to portions of Heart creek. The majority of rock seen as outcrop was a dark green to grey, medium grained volcanic extrusive. In places this unit exhibited extensive limonite alteration, but no other mineralization was seen. No samples were taken of this unit.

Because of the limited rock exposures, it is difficult to assess the probability of vein extensions to the north. Further trenching is therefore needed to better deliniate the system and assess its potential.

INTERPRETATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

Heavy sediment sampling, carried out to test the possibility of a northern extension of the Completer vein system through Heart Creek and any further source of gold or silver to the east, failed to pick up any anomalies. Though it is unlikely that any major ore body exists to the immediate east of the claim block, there is still reason to believe that the veins found on the Completer Crown Grant extend at least to lots 2588 and 2590 on Heart Creek, where old working are known to have existed.

Because of poor outcrop exposure, prospecting was limited to ridge tops and road cuts. The dominant rock type encountered was a coarse grained monzonite locally hosting mineralized quartz veins. It is apparent that the economic potential of the property lies in these veins which were seen only within the Completer Crown Grant where they are exposed in trenches. Surface sampling of these veins returned good values in silver and moderate lead-zinc concentrations. Gold values, as a whole, were generally low. Unlike many Ag-Pb-Zn deposits, however, high silver values were not always associated with galena. Further work, by way of additional trenching and drilling, will help determine the relationship between the silver and the quartz veining, as well as the extent of this mineralization at depth where better values for both gold, silver and base metals are reported to occur.
