Silver Stream History and OverviewFirst explored in 1988, the Silver Stream property has produced a number of anomalous-to-significant gold showings in sampling, trenching and drilling. Although still an ?early-stage? property, a July 2006 Technical Report (NI 43-101 compliant) states:
??the nature of the mineralization seen in the known showings in the context of the Bridge River camp show the property has good potential to develop economic gold mineralization.?
The renowned Bralorne gold mine, which between 1932 and 1971 produced 4.1 million ounces of gold, lies about 25 kilometers southwest of Silver Stream. The average grade of the Bralorne mine complex was 0.52 opt gold, and it remains the largest historic gold producer of the Canadian Cordillera.
JC Claims, Nevada ? Mapping and Sampling Proposed No work was conducted on our 100%-owned JC Claims in 2008. However, for the coming season we are considering proposals for geological mapping and sampling to define new targets for drilling. Located on the prolific Battle Mountain/Cortez gold trend, this highly prospective property is centered on exposed mineralized lower plate rocks of the Roberts Mountain Thrust. The claims include surrounding areas of poorly exposed and prospected lower plate rocks, often covered by a thin veneer of valley-fill gravel.
These characteristics make the JC Claims a prime target for discovery of Carlin-Style gold mineralization. The region has hosted a number of gold discoveries in the past decades, including Tonkin Springs and Gold Bar.
The Company was incorporated in 1950 and has property located in Lander County, Nevada and near the historic Bralorne and Pioneer Gold mines. These mines produced in excess of 4 million ounces of gold. Infrastructure is in place at Bralorne and a town nearby to draw skilled labour. Custom milling at the Bralorne mill may be an option for the Company provided it is successful in finding sufficient ore.
