About the Midway Property
The Midway claims group is comprised of 24 claims covering 7,096 ha and are part of the Company's larger Greenwood Property located around the town of Greenwood in southeastern BC along the US border. The Midway Property is subject to a 3rd Party NSR of 2.5% that can be bought down to 1% with payments of $500,000 per 0.5%.
Historical gold (Au) showings on the Midway claims have yielded significant precious and base metal grades. Recent exploration work conducted in the area resulted in the newly discovered Big Sexy area and included 668 metres of drilling in 2017 and 1,420 metres of further drilling in 2018 by KG Exploration Inc. ("KG"), a subsidiary of Kinross Gold.
Epithermal alteration and veining was mapped within Triassic sediments and within possible Jurassic hornblende diorite intrusions which post-dates the skarn event associated with the Bruce showing. Along the basal Eocene unconformity, a roughly 3 m thick blanket of massive silica has been mapped intermittently over a 1 km x 1 km area. This unit shows elevated Au, arsenic, mercury, antimony, and molybdenum (up to 1.175 ppm Au), with 15% marcasite dissemination near the eastern end of the mapped area near the Big Sexy showing (up to 0.139 ppm Au). Results from the soil sampling delineated a 600 m x 250 m Au-copper (Cu)-silver (Ag) anomaly with values up to 0.336 ppm Au, this coincident with a 200 m x 50-75 m wide zone of silicification which returned rock assays up to 4.2 ppm Au from chalcedonic quartz veins.
