INTRODUCTION During the period 1959 to 1969 I made examinations of
a gold prospect located approximately 2 miles north east of the Daisy Lake dam 50 miles northerly from Vancouver.
My report dated December 15, 1969 provides a history and a description of the geology, property and t i t l e , recommendations for an exploration program and the estimated costs to implement the proposed program.
ADDENDUM
During the period 1970 to date- Acacia Mineral Development corporation Ltd. retained the 20 mineral claims described in my report and staked an additional 50 mineral claims contiguous to the original claim blocks. Based on my examination of the records in the gold commissioners office in Vancouver these claims a l l appear to be v a l i d .
During this same period roads have been constructed and the timber removed from most of the claim block.
In addition, Northair Mines Ltd. have made important mineral discoveries on their property 8 miles north oftthe subject claims and production i s scheduled to commence during 1976.
CONCLUSIONS

years on the Acacia claim block has not materially effected the conclusion recommendation and the proposed exploration program that accompanied my report of December 15, 1969.
The discovery and development of commercial mineralization eight miles northerly enhances the exploration potential of the ACACIA property.
In my judgement the exploration program proposed in my report of December 15, 1969 i n the amount of $39,600 is warranted.

INTRODUCTION
During 1959 I examined a gold prospect located
50 miles northerly from Vancouver near the border of
Ga r i b a l d i Park. This property was held by Mr. F e l i x
Letain, who accompanied me on t h i s examination. Mr.Letain
died a number of years ago and Mr.Francis B u l l , Chilliwack,
B.C., executor of his estate, restated mineral claims to
cover the known mineralization i n t h i s area.
During July, 1966, August, 1968, and Octobor, 1969,
in company with Mr.Bull, I have made examinations of t h i s
prospect. This report i s based on information collected
during these examinations, from a review of the published
l i t e r a t u r e and from discuss ions with colleagues who are
working in t h i s area. I t i s designed to appraise the
mineral potential of t h i s property, to recommend means of
t e s t i n g t h i s p otential and to present a cost estimate for
the proposed program of exploration.
PROPERTY AND TITLE
The mineral claims held by Mr.Letain near Garibaldi
Park were allowed to lapse. Mr.Bull has staked 2 blocks
of mineral claims to cover the mineralization on the old
Letain property.
I have reviewed the data pertaining to these mineral
claims as shown on the records maintained by the B .C.Depart
ment of Mines and Petroleum Resources o f f i c e i n Vancouver.
I have i n addition examined a number of posts used to stake
these mineral claims. The posts that I examined were the
i n i t i a l posts of the Daisy 1 and 2, the f i n a l posts of
the Daisy 3 and 4; and the f i n a l post FF 9 and 10 .
These posts were proper size, squared at the top, metal
tags properly inscribed were a f f i x e d and a well blazed
l i n e marked the position of the next set of posts.
I have attached a map marked Appendix B drawn to
a scale of 1" - 1/2 mile to show the outline of the
claims and t h e i r r e l a t i v e p o s i t i o n . I have also attach
ed, marked Appendix D, a tabulation of the data pertain
ing to these claims as shown i n the B.C.Department of
Mines Recorder's o f f i c e .
As a r e s u l t of my appraisal I believe these claims
have been staked in accordance with the provisions of the
Mineral Act of B r i t i s h Columbia and are v a l i d .
LOCATION AND ACCESS
These claims are located 50 miles northerly from
Vancouver, B.C.,approximately two miles northeast c f the
Daisy Lake Dam and about one-half mile westerly from
the G a r i b a l d i Park Boundary. They are positioned at
4 9 ° 5 9 ' North Patitude and 123° 0 6 ' West Longitude.
The P a c i f i c Great Eastern Railroad Station at
G a r i b a l d i i s located three miles south-westerly from the
claims, the port at Squamish i s approximately 22 miles
southerly. The northern block of mineral claims are
located along a dozer t r a i l leading from Daisy Lake
i n t o Garibaldi Park along Marble Creek.
3.
The southern block of mineral claims are access
i b l e by a steep foot t r a i l which extends easterly from
Daisy Lake a distance of approximately one-half mile.
HISTORY
Commencing about the turn of the Century, pros
pectors tested the streams in t h i s area for placer gold,
and as a r e s u l t many mineral claims have been staked
within a 15-mile radius of Daisy Lake.
Approximately 35 years ago Mr«Letain had a trap
l i n e east of the Cheakamus River into G a r i b a l d i Park.
While trapping i n th i s area he prospected, put down
trenches, and found gold. He eventually staked some
27 mineral claims.
A number of years ago New Jersey Zinc and other
companies acquired mineral claims and are conducting
exploration programs at the present time. These programs
are designed to search for base metals.
The area immediately south was mapped by Dr.W.H.
Mathews in 1946 and 1947. A reconnaissance map was
published i n Volume 69 of Geological Society of America.
A geological map published i n 1963 by the Geological
Survey of Canada as 42 - 1963 extends north to 50° North
Latitude.
GEOLOGY
This property i s located naar the southern ex
tremity of the Coast Range Batholith, which at th i s
l a t i t u d e i s 100 miles wide, and which can be traced
northwesterly for several hundred miles into Alaska.
The g e o l o g i c a l structures and l i t h o l o g y within the
Coast Range Batholith are complex. A wide variety of
volcanic and metamorphic rocks have been intruded by
igneous rocks of i n f i n i t e composition and texture.
Neither the Federal Geological Survey or the
P r o v i n c i a l Department of Mines have mapped the area of
the claim blocks. The most detailed geological mapping
that has been accomplished i n t h i s v i c i n i t y i s by
Dr. W. H. Mathews, Professor of Geology at the Univer
s i t y of B r i t i s h Columbia, and by Dr. H. Bostock of the
G.S.C. The northern l i m i t of these maps (50° north
l a t i t u d e ) does not include the claim group. One other
map by Dr. J . Roddick, of the G.S.C. published to a
scale of 1" = 4 miles, contributes geological information
though t h i s does not extend to the claim group.
The Bralorne Pioneer Gold Mine i s located near the
northeasterly edge of the Coast Range Batholith, approx
imately 60 miles northerly.
The ore i n the Britannia Mine, which i s located
approximately 30 miles toward the south i s associated with
a meta-sedimentary-volcanic roof pendant over the Coast
Range B a t h o l i t h as i s the ore i n the Granduc Mine sons
500 miles northwesterly.
New Jersey Zinc Exploration Co. Ltd., holds a
block of Crown Granted mineral claims which are located
5
11 miles northeasterly from Daisy Lake and within the
boundary of G a r i b a l d i Park. New Jersey has accomplish
ed considerable diamond d r i l l i n g , has driven a tunnr1
to t e s t copper mineralization at depth. This property,
formerly c a l l e d the Green Lake Mining and M i l l i n g Co. i s
described i n the B.C.Minister of Mines' Report for 1930.
M i n e r a l i z a t i o n here i s associated with metamorphic rocks
probably roof pendants, overlying the Coast Range i n
t r u s i v e .
My traverse over Acacia's north claim block was
i n general confined to the claim l i n e which coincides with
a t r a i l i n t o G a r i b a l d i Park. That part of the claim
block between claims No.1 to 10 trends southeasterly,
adjacent to a creek which possibly represents the surface
expression of the projection of a f a u l t shown on the
g e o l o g i c a l maps toward the south. This f a u l t i s pos
i t i o n e d on the contact between an intrusive pluton on
the east and metamorphic rock on the west. My examin
ation was confined to the west side of t h i s creek, I did
not see the i n t r u s i v e pluton.
The rocks that I saw on the northern claim block
were predominently metamorphic, gneisses, and schists
with minor granodiorite, quartz d i o r i t e , fine-grained
dark dikes, quartz veins and quartz segregations. The
most abundant rock i s blue-grey highly altered with a
g r a n i t i c to porphrytic texture, described as a metamor
phosed p o r p h y r i t i c meta-dacite. I t apparently correlates
6.
with the Harrison Lake formation described i n G.S.C.
P i t t Lake Map 1151A, and with the undivided metamorphic
rocks, described i n G.S.C. Squamish Map 42 - 19&3-
The i n t r u s i v e rocks for the most part have a
g r a n i t i c texture, classed as quartz d i o r i t e or grano-
d i o r i t e . I t i s believed the batholith was emplaced
during Cretaceous time or e a r l i e r , and penetrated meta
morphic v o l c a n i c and sedimentary rocks some of which
remain as i s o l a t e d pendants overlying the Batholith.
Light coloured quartz occurs in massive bodies and
i n mineralized veins throughout the property. Numerous
fine-grained volcanic and dike rocks are also exposed
on the property. Strong a l t e r a t i o n and metamorphisn
has made analysis and recognition of rock types d i f f i
c u l t . An i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of geology i s further complicat
ed by recent volcanic a c t i v i t y and g l a c i a t i o n which masko
the underlying rocks of substantial parts of t h i s area.
Three tunnels have been driven on the south block
of claims. These are designed to explore an east-westerly
trending f a u l t which contains quartz containing variable
amounts of copper and s i l v e r .
The rocks enclosing these veins are chlorate s c h i s t s
and p h y l l i t e s , probably much older than the intrusives and
quartz veins • The quartz veins appear to be conformable
with the s c h i s t o s i t y .
Because of the s p a r c i t y of outcrop, and the post
mineral v o l c a n i c flows that ma-jk the mineralization i t w i l l
7
be d i f f i c u l t to e s t a b l i s h the s t r u c t u r a l pattern, the
frequency of mineral occurrence and the precious metal
content of the quartz bodies.
I have attached a geological map marked Appendix B.
This; map drawn to a scale of 1" = l / 2 mile i s traced fron
a i r photo BC5, 103-126, which covers the claim block. I t
i s based on the geology that has been published south of
the 50° north l a t i t u d e onto t h i s map, and the geology I
have mapped on the property.
MINERALIZATION
The mineralization that I saw on the north block
of mineral claims was associated with veins, lenses and
i r r e g u l a r bodies of quartz. These appear to be related
to f a u l t i n g that projects northwesterly through the claim
block, and which form at the contact between a t e r t i a r y
i n t r u s i v e and older rocks.
I n 1 9 5 9 I c o l l e c t e d two samples which assayed
0.28 and 0 . 2 2 oz.gold over widths up to 4 feet. I have
been unable to determine the precise l o c a t i o n of these
sample l o c a t i o n s , although they are within the North
Block of Acacia's Mineral Claims. In 1966 I c o l l e c t e d
_3_samples from other mineralized quartz veins. The assay
results and p o s i t i o n of these samples i s shown on the
attached map marked Appendix B.
The south block of mineral claims have been staked
to cover an east-west rending quartz vein which contains
8
copper and s i l v e r with minor gold. These quartz veins
are possibly 10 feet wide i r r e g u l a r and o f f s e t by f a u l t
i n g .
While on the property I mapped the underground
workings which were accessible and c o l l e c t e d 13 rock
samples. You w i l l f i n d attached a sketch map, drawn
t o a scale of l n = 1000 feet, and marked Appendix D, to
show the l o c a t i o n of the samples that were c o l l e c t e d ,
and geology.
CONCLUSIONS
The area has not been mapped by the Geological
Survey of Canada or the P r o v i n c i a l Department of Mines,
and the mineral claims have not been mapped or adequately
prospected.
While geological information i s limited, i t would
appear that the s t r u c t u r a l conditions and rock types here
are s i m i l a r to those found i n many of the bodies of copper
and molybdenum which are located within the Coast Range
B a t h o l i t h .
I have c o l l e c t e d samples which contained gold
values up to $10.00 per ton and i n addition have mapped
and sampled workings which contain s i g n i f i c a n t copper
s i l v e r values.
The recent discoveries of both copper and molyb
denum within the Coast Range Ba t h o l i t h suggests the mineral
i z a t i o n of t h i s Marble Creek property warrants i n v e s t i g a t i o n .
