GEOLOGY AND SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY FRACTION FRACTION MINERAL CLAIM QUEEN BESS RIDGE AREA, SANDON, B.C SLOCAN MINING DIVISION NTS 82F/14W

SUMMARY Outcrop was not observed within the claim. Soil appears to be partly glacial outwash of sand and rounded pebbles. Gray silt with angular argillite fragments may be derived from subcrop. Soil geochemistry identified threshold values of lead near the western boundary of the claim. Soil sampling at 25 m spacing should be completed over the claim at an estimated cost of$2500.

2 INTRODUCTION The Fraction Fr. claim is located on the northeastern-facing slope of Queen Bess Ridge, approximately 6 km east-southeast of New Denver, B.C. Access is via paved Highway 31A east of New Denver for 8 km to Three Forks, thence southeasterly on a gravel road for 5 km to Sandon, and for approximately 9 km on a maintained dirt road which leads to the Idaho Peak Lookout parking lot. At 9 km a dirt road departs northwesterly along the crest of Queen Bess Ridge and passes approximately 80 m southwest of the southern boundary of the Friction Fraction mineral claim. Elevation within the claim ranges from 1660 to 1730 metres. Logging has occurred since the claim was staked; the claim post could not be found. The Queen Bess mine is located 0.7 km to the west.

No history of exploration or production is known from within the claim.

GEOLOGY The area of the claim is underlain by rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Slocan Group, a package of argillites, quartzites, shales, and limestones, with subordinate tuffaceous argillite and tuff beds. Northwesterly-trending folds have both southwesterly and northeasterly dipping axial planes. Through-going fault (lode) zones which have provided open spaces for fissure fillings of economic concentrations of silver-lead-zinc mineralization trend northeasterly and dip southeasterly. Transverse fractures and breccia zones between the fault zones also host deposits. Outcrop was not observed within the area of the grid. Geological mapping of soil indicates that horizons or channel fills of sand and rounded exotic pebbles of transported glacial outwash are interspersed within silt and angular argillite fragments that appear to be derived from subcrop. During 1988 dozer trenching on the crest of Queen Bess Ridge approximately 70 m to the west and upslope of the Fraction Fr claim exposed depths of +5 metres of glacial material without reaching bedrock. The Geology and Soil Geochemistry Map (Fig 3) shows the location of soil types.

3 Mineralization was not observed on the claim. A mineralized strand of the Queen Bess - Palmita lode that was detected in 1988 by soil geochemistry crosses the ridge 300 metres to the northwest of the claim.

SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY Grid lines were oriented parallel to the southern boundary of the claim at Az 125°. Fourteen samples were collected at 50 m intervals with a narrow elongate spade from depths of 30 - 45 cm below organic debris. Multiple ICP analyses were completed by Acme Labs Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C. The following table displays geostatistics concerning metal abundance derived from lognormal probability plots. Many years of soil sampling results over Slocan Group rocks have been compiled into this information. Ag

Threshold values of Pb (53.9 & 48.5 ppm) are present at 0+00 on both L-0+00 and L 0+25E. It is possible that the response is related to the Black Colt lode on which AgPb-Zn mineralization has been explored and mined approximately 500 m to the northeast. Otherwise metal values are at background levels.

CONCLUSIONS Soil geochemistry indicates that a lode structure may be concealed in the western portion of the claim. RECOMMENDATIONS Soil geochemical sampling on 25 m spacing should be completed. COST ESTIMATE A budget of $2500 should be available for field work and analyses.
