Dear Ian:

Pursuant to our telephone conversation, I am submitting an information package on a recently discovered showing near C h e r r y v i l l e , B.C. The work carried out thus far has been very preliminary. With the except ion of minor hand trenching and reconnaissance geochemical work, very 1 i t t l e has been done on the showing. If you have any questions with regard to t h i s property do not hesitate to c a l l roe.

Yours t r u l y ,

By the t u r n of t h e c e n t u r y , o v e r 5,000 oz of g o l d had been r e c o v e r e d . Minor amounts of p l a c e r g o l d have r e p o r t e d l y been r e c o v e r e d from t r i b u t a r i e s such as Heckman and F e r r y Creeks ( e a s t and west of the AJ-1 c l a i m ) .

No v a l u e s were r e p o r t e d , however some encouragement must have i n i t i a t e d such work. T h i s s h a f t , l o c a t e d a p p r o x i m a t e l y 300 metres w e s t e r l y o f the AJ showing i s s t i l l open.

Attention: W. Gruenwald

Dear Werner:

Thank you for submitting your C h e r r y v i l l e property to us for review. I apologize for having taken so long to respond.

Unfortunately the property does not f i t with our current plans and we w i l l not be able to become involved. I agree with your conclusions that i t should be viewed more as an i n d i c a t i o n of the mineral p o t e n t i a l within a favourable geologic s e t t i n g rather than as an i s o l a t e d anomaly, but I'm a f r a i d that we have designs on more advanced projects at t h i s time.

I wish you success with your e f f o r t s and look forward to reviewing more submittals from you i n the future.

Yours t r u l y ,

I. D. P i r i e D i s t r i c t Geologist
