e Summary

During 0 t ber 19 to No ember 9, 1989; Bryndon Ventures Inc., under the direction of Sampson Engineering Inc. and Pika Geologic Inc., carried out an exploration programme on the company’s Robertson Creek Property. The property is located in the Slocan Mining Division, roughly 11 kilometers southwest of Slocan City, B.C. The programme consisted of the following:

1) The Robertson Creek mineralized showing was trenched and sampled.

2) Four diamond drillholes (NQ core), totalling 2 4 5 metres of core, were completed to confirm the down-dip continuity of the showing.

1

3 ) Geologic mapping of the showing, at 1:500 scale, was completed.

The principal results of the programme were:

1) The showing was traced’on surface for a s t r i k e length o f 75 meters. Three drill holes established a down-dip extension of roughly 60 meters. The zone exhibited excellent continuity between three drill holes and the showing.

2)’ The showing is an epithermal vein occurrence consisting of two generally distinct zones: a central silicified and-brecciated zone ranging in thickness from 7 to 10 meters; and an alteration envelope -. principally kaolinitic - with a cummulative thickness of 7 to 10 meters.

The attitude of the epithermal vein is approximately 16Oo/7O0W. 3 )

4 ) No anomalous precious metals values were encountered.

pyrite and arsenopyrite. This gives the brecciated zone a distinct red-brownish hue at surface. Fragments within the brecciated portion consist mostly of angular, greenish coloured quartz fragments, with some fragments of altered wall rock mixed in. The fragments range from < 1 centimeter to 3 centimeters in size. The matrix consists mostly of a white to greyish quartz, with local concentrations of sulphides. In addition to the brecciation, mylonitization was recognized. Mariposite(?) gave many of the mylonitic portions a distinct greenish hue, but in some cases the colour was a light tan or buff - similar to some rhyolites.

e

Pyrite (marcasite?) and arsenopyrite are the most conspicuous sulphide minerals present - especially within the brecciated portions. Here, colloform mantling of brecciated silica fragments by pyrite is very distinct. Where the pyrite is exposed to open space, as seen in the drill core, tarnishing is very evident. The tarnish ranges in colour from a dull brown through to brilliant irridescent colours. Local concentration of these sulphides reach a maximum of about 25 percent. Arsenopyrite occurs mainly as very fine grained coatings along hairline fractures in the brecciated and silicified zone. It !was also noted as a fine encrustation on e u h e d r a l quartz crystals. Overall, the zone's sulphide concentration is less than 3 percent. The gangue minerals present include white, clear, greyish, greenish, or amethystine quartz, chalcedony, and some euhedral crystals (up to 1.5 cm long) of barite. The barite was especially evident in the surface exposure, where it was found i n many of the vugs.

e The country rock near the vein is very well altered. A

kaolinitic zone, from 3 'to 5 metres wide, forms a rather conspicuous zone parallel to the walls of the vein. Here, many of the plagioclase feldspars have been completely altered to kaolin. In the drill core, drillholes DDH 89-2,3,&4, sections of the zone resembled plasticine, and could be cut with a knife. This was especially evident alongathe footwall side. Beyond the kaolinitic zone, it appears that a greenish coloured zone occurs, which probably reflects the presence of montmorillinite clay. Mafic minerals in the country rock, horneblende and biotite, show distinct greenish alteration (chlorite?).

The precious metal c:ontent of the epithermal vein system is very low in all samples taken during this programme. The highest gold and silver values are 27 ppb and 1.4 ppm, respectively. No anomalous copper, zinc, lead, or antimony are indicated. Elevated values in arsenic, barium. and mercury are present. The barium and arsenic elements are obviously due to the presence of barite arid arsenopyrite. However, the mercury values could not be attributed to any identified mineral. The highest reported values for arsenic, barium, and merc:ury are 1088 ppm, 4626 ppm, and 12,310 ppb, respectively. The high mercury value occurred in a sample from T89-1, and was probably the result of secondary concentration due to oxidation processes. The next highest result, 4500 ppb, was taken from drillhole DDH 89-4. Rock sample geochemical results are listed in Appendix B.

CONCLUSIONS

The 1989 F a l l d r i l l and t r e n c h i n g programme was s u c c e s s f u l i n l o c a t i n g t h e down-dip e x t e n s i o n o f t h e Rober t son Creek Showing. The showing, o r zone, is approx ima te ly 7 - 1 0 metres t h i c k w i t h a c o n s p i c u o u s 3 - 5 metre k a o l i n i t i c a l t e r a t i o n h a l o on t h e f o o t w a l l and hangingwal l s i d e s . Good c o n t i n u i t y of t h e zone f o r a p p r o x i m a t e l y 60 metres down-dip was e s t a b l i s h e d .

The precious metals c o n t e n t is e x t r e m e l y low. The h i g h e s t detectable g o l d c o n t e n t was 27 ppb, w h i l e t h e h i g h e s t s i l v e r r a n 1 . 4 ppm. E l e v a t e d v a l u e s of As, Ba, and Hg were d e t e c t e d . The h i g h e s t r e c o r d e d d r i l l c o r e v a l u e s were 1088 ppm, 4626 ppm, and 4 5 0 0 ppb f o r t h e s e e l e m e n t s , r e s p e c t i v e l y . Although A s ( a r s e n o p y r i t e 1 and B a ( b a r i t e 1 minerals were i d e n t i f i e d , no mercury b e a r i n g m i n e r a l s were d e t e c t e d .
