About the Buck Property

The Buck Property is an exploration project located near the Town of Houston in central British Columbia.  Historical drilling, trenching and geological mapping has shown the presence of epithermal gold-silver mineralization on the property, that is similar in age and character to other BC Upper Cretaceous mineral occurrences such as New Gold's Blackwater-Davidson deposit (Indicated resources of 165 million tonnes grading 1.01 g/t gold and Inferred resources of 39 million tonnes grading 0.94 g/t; September 2011), Silverquest's Capoose deposit (Indicated resources of 31.2 million tonnes grading 0.38 g/t and Inferred resources of 37.3 million tonnes grading 0.37 g/t; September 2011) and Amarc's Newton gold prospect.

The gold-silver mineralization occurs within an alteration zone extending at least 700 metres in an east-west direction and 600 metres in a north-south direction, and is open for further expansion.  There is also potential for additional discoveries on the remainder of the large 55,998.46 hectare property.
