Summary
The SMS Claim Group is located 20 km NE of 100 Mile House within the Intermontane Belt of the Canadian Cordillera in a geological setting favourable for the formation of Cu (Au, Mo) porphyry deposits similar to the Mount Polley and Fish Lake Cu-Au projects.
The SMS Property is underlain by the Takomkane Batholith of Triassic to Jurassic age which is composed of a medium grained granodiorite to quartz monzonite in this area.
Mineralization on the property consists of disseminations and fracture fillings of fine grained sulphides including pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite.
Fifteen rock samples and five soil samples were collected fiom the property and analyzed for 30 elements using ICP and Au using fire assay.
Although assay results were generally low, the prospective geological setting of the property indicates that more detailed work is warranted for the SMS Claim Group.

Introduction
c
The SMS Claim Group is located 20 km NE of 100 Mile House within the Intermontane Belt of the Canadian Cordillera.
It is situated in a geological setting favourable for the formation of Cu (Au, Mo) porphyry deposits similar to the Mount Polley and Fish Lake Cu-Au projects.
The Mount Polley deposit, owned by Imperial Metals Corporation (65%) and Sumitomo Corporation (35%), contains estimated reserves of 81,500,000 tonnes grading 0.30% Cu and 0.414 gpt Au.
The Fish Lake deposit, owned by Taseko Mines Ltd., contains 675 million tonnes grading 0.236% Cu and 0.435 gpt Au.
This report describes assessment work carried out on the SMS Claim Group during May 4, 1996. (Annual work approval number: KAM96-0300501-196).

Location and Access:
The SMS Claim is located 20 km north-northeast of 100 Mile House in the Clinton Mining Division of British Columbia (Figure 1).
The southern portion of the property is road accessible via Highway 97 and the 11 1 Mile Creek road. This secondary road is followed for approximately 10 km to the northeast and east beyond Chub Lake to a logging road that goes south and then east along the southern shoreline of Spring Lake.
This logging road is followed for approximately 6 km (or 2 km beyond Spring Lake) to the southwestern edge of the property.

Topoeraphy, VePetation and Climate:
Relief within the SMS Claim Group is moderate with elevations ranging between 3,000 and 3,500 feet above mean sea level. Hills, ridges and drainages have a general northeasterly trend within the claim block.
Vegetation i d climate is typical for the Interior Plateau (Cariboo Land District) of B.C. Vegetation density was moderate and did not hinder field work.
History and Previous Work:
1969:
1971:
1972:
1974:
Canway Explorations Ltd. completed soil geochemical, I.P., and resistivity surveys on the Mac, Stan and Skull claims.
Canway excavated at least 2 trenches to test I.P. chargeability anomalies in the south-central portion of the claim group.
Canway drilled eight percussion holes totaling 1,200 feet on the Stan 3 and 4 and the Skull 7, 9, and 10 claims.
More detailed I.P. and resistivity geophysical surveys were performed by Geo-X- Surveys Ltd. on behalf of Canway Explorations Ltd.
Regional Geolow:
The SMS Claim Group lies within the Intermontane Belt of the Canadian Cordillera in an area of relatively complex geologic history.
The oldest rocks in the area consist of Permian marine limestones and sediments of the Cache Creek and Pavilion Groups.
During the Triassic, andesitic marine volcanics and associated sediments of the Nicola Group were deposited.
These were intruded during the late Triassic andor Jurassic by the granitic Thuya and Takomkane batholiths.
Marine volcanic activity and sedimentation continued throughout the Jurassic and then the Raft and Baldy batholiths, again of granitic composition, were emplaced during the Cretaceous.
4
During the lower and mid-Tertiary, terrestrial sediments and acidic to intermediate volcanics of the Chu Chua and Skull Hill Formations were deposited above the earlier units.
Volcanic activity and sedimentation continued throughout the middle and late Tertiary and finally the extensive Plateau basalts of Miocene to Pliocene age covered large areas in the region.
Local Geolow:
The SMS Claim Group is underlain predominantly by medium to coarse grained quartz monzonites and quartz diorites of the Takomkane Batholith of Triassic to Jurassic age.
The Batholith is in fault contact with the Nicola Group andesitic volcanics and associated sediments, of Triassic age, in the southwestern corner of the claim group (Campbell & Tipper, 197 1).
This fault contact trends northwesterly through a chain of small, unnamed lakes and passes through the Skull, SMS, Stan 1 and Mac 8 claims.
Resistivity lows are associated with the fault contact and I.P. chargeability highs, located within the Takomkane intrusion, are located northeast of the contact within the Stan Claims (Cochrane and White, 1969). These I.P. anomalies were later trenched and drill tested by Canway Explorations Ltd.
Mineralization previously reported from the property included chalcopyrite and molybdenite associated with fractures within rocks of granitic composition.
Minor quartz veining and veinlets with associated potassic and silicic alteration were also noted in some subcrop and float fragments.
Chloritic alteration was seen in some areas, as well as limonitic and manganese staining which was present on some weathered surfaces and as fracture coatings.
Geochemical SamDling:
Fifteen rock samples were taken from angular float or subcrop fragments and outcrop on the SMS property. Some samples were collected from outcrop exposed by forestry road construction (see Appendix I for rock sample descriptions and Figure 3 for sample locations).

Five soil samples were also collected along one line which crossed a combined Cu soil geochemical and resistivity anomaly previously defined by Canway Explorations Ltd. in 1969. Sample depth varied between 40 and 70 cm and material was taken fiom either the upper B or lower A soil horizons.
The samples were sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories and analyzed for 30 elements using ICP and Au using fire assay (Appendix II).
Sample results were generally low, however one rock sample did return 117 ppb Au (sample ## 49979).
Conclusions and Recommendations:
Since the SMS property lies within the Intermontane Belt of the Cordillera, has a geological setting favourable for the formation of Cu (Au, Mo) porphyry deposits, and is situated between the known Cu-Au deposits at Mount Polley and Fish Lake, hrther work is warranted for the property.
Detailed prospecting and geochemical sampling should be carried out in the central and northern areas of the claim group. This program could be followed by geophysical surveys and trenching if warranted.
