SWTE3EW OF QUALIFICATIONS

m c sa”

This is to certify that I obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree

in Geology at Concordid University in 1979.

My geological experience has been primarily in exploration and

mapping in Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Colmbia, and the Northwest

Territories. My background has been in uranium, oil and gas, and -1

exploration. I have keen employed as a geologist in the Coal Division

of G u l f Canada Resources Inc. since late 1980.

Page 10: COAL - British Columbia

Location:

The Mount Greer coal property is situated in central British

Columbia, approximately 140 kilometres west of Prince George.

Access:

Access to the property is via gravel road from either Vanderhmf

or Fort Fraser. The distance in both cases is approximately 40 kilo-

metres.

Licences and (xlmership:

The Mount Greer coal property is comprised of 17 licences with a

total area of 4302 hectares, in which Gulf Canada Resources tias 100%

ownership.

Faploration:

A ten day mapping program of the licence block was m in the

s~lloer of 1981. A second program, in the winter of 1981, comprised cme

rotary hole drilled to obtain are and quality analyses m a reported

subsurface 9.8 metre coal zone. This zone was reported by E ti B

Exploration in 1978 while drilling for uraniferous sedimnts.

GENERALIZED STRATIGRAPHIC COLUMN

Page 12: COAL - British Columbia

Stratigrwy:

The Mount Greer licence block is underlain by the Tertiary hdako

Group. ?his unit consists of basal sediments, in association with

minor coal beds, overlain by a predominantly basaltic volcanic cap

rock. Underlying the Endako Group are layered volcanic flows of the

Tertiary Qtsa Lake Group.

structure:

There is no evidence of mjor faulting or folding in the area,

though a l l scale flexures occur in the sub-horizontal basal Endako

sediments.

The lack of ecOncPnic seam precluded the calculation of a pten-

tial resource.

The Head Analysis of samples taken proved the coal to be lignitk

in rank.

Further mrk is mt mrited and it is reconmended that the pro-

perty be dropped.

1.1.0 Iocation

The Wunt Greer coal property is s i tua ted i n cent ra l

Br i t i sh Colunbia a p p r o x h t e l y 140 kilometres west of Prince

George, B.C. The l icences lie ktween G r e e r C r e e k and the

Nechako River, south of Highway 16, which is geographically

located a t 53"50' north l a t i t u d e and 124"32' w e s t longitude

(Figure 1.1).

1.2.0 Eistcay

G.M. Dawson of the G e o l o g i c Survey of Canada f i r s t repor-

t e d coal i n the area i n 1878. H e made br ie f E n t i o n of a four

foot seam along t h e N e c h a k o River bank near Mount Greer. H.W.

Tipper, also of the G.S.C., mapped the region i n the ea r ly

1950's and produced the only geologic map of the area to date.

The Dawson seam w a s not delineated, though large lignitic b u l -

d e r s were recorded along the Nechako River.

The sediments of the Ter t ia ry Endako G r o u p were d r i l l e d

i n the 1970's to determine i f uranium placer deposits existed.

The core logs fa i l ed to prove the above, but ver i f ied the exis-

tence of subsurface coal seams. No s tudies or analyses were

conducted cn the -1 and the base E t a 1 claims were ultimately

surrendered.

After conpleting a regional study, Gulf Canada Resources

Inc. obtained l icences i n the area on the basis of one of those

core logs, which reported a 9.8 m e t r e coal zone at depth. This

report details the r e s u l t s of a l l phases of the Mount Greer coal

property evaluation.

1.3.0 Licences

The Mount Greer property is comprised of seventeen licen-

ces as shown i n Figure 1.2. The l icence block consists of 4302

hectares and was acquired on March 1, 1981. ?he legal descrip-

t i o n of the property is enclosed i n Appendix I.

1.4.0 Cmership

The Mount Greer coal l icences are wholly owned by Gulf

Canada Resources Inc.

1.5.0 Access

Tim graded logging roads converge and cut through the

center of the licence block. These mads feed i n t o F o r t Fraser

and Vanderhmf, which are 35 and 43 kilometres from the property

respectively (Figure 1.1). Highway 1 6 and the Canadian National

Railroad, between Prince R u p e r t and Prince George, pass through

both towns. Regional access to the area is depicted in Figure

1.3.

1.6.0 Biophysical Fnvironment

The region, as part of the Interior Plateau, was heavily

scoured during glaciation resulting i n a gentle to undulating

topographic te r ra in .

Mount G r e e r forms the topographic high, imediately west

of the licence block, a t 1254 metres, while the mrshes in the

central and eastern portions of the property represent the t o p

graphic lows a t approximately 825 metres.

The area is vegetated by hoth open and dense forest cover

comprised essentially of primary and secondary growths of black

spruce. Small clusters of poplar occupy the low lying and w e l l

drained regions.

Moose frequent the marshlands, but the heavy bush growth

and high degree of land cultivation r e s u l t in few large game

sightings in the region.

2.4.1 Geologic Mapping

I n i t i a l exploration of the licence block w a s done

from June 16 to 27, 1981. Personnel were based i n Fraser

Lake, approximately 50 kilometres northwest of the

PropertY.

The wrk aonsisted of ground traverses over the

e n t i r e l icence area. Results of the mpping program are

plo t ted on a 1:50,000 base nap in Appendix 11.

2.4.2 IlDtKy milling

Field personnel were based i n Vanderhmf, 42 kilo-

m e t r e s southwest of the townsite, from December 10 to 16,

1981. One 15.2 c e n t h t r e diameter rotary drill hole,

RDH 81-001 (Figure 2.1), was twinned beside EN-1, previ-

ously d r i l l e d by E & B Exploration i n 1978, to a depth of

308 metres.

A 12 m e t r e i n t e rva l w a s cored (Figure 3.3) and

3.0.0 GEOLOGP

3.1.0 Pegicnal Geology

The Wunt Greer region consists of extrusive flow rocks,

intrusive plutons, and sedimentary rocks.

The flow rocks, mainly basalt, andesite and related tuffs

and breccias, are comnly of limited lateral extent resulting

in unconformities and incomplete stratigraphic sequences. For

example, Grtiary rocks are known to te unconformably in contact

with plutonic rocks of the Jurassic.

The mjor plutons that intruded the region occurred

during the Lawer Jurassic and the Upper Jurassic.

The mst extensive stratigraphic unit is the Tertiary

Endako Group. C o a l has ken reported in the basal sediments of

this unit which were subsequently overlain by basaltic and ande-

sitic flows, also of the Endako Group. The highly recessive

Endako sediments are in close time association with the volcanic

flm rocks and, to facilitate geologic mpping, were considered

a single stratigraphic unit.

Pleistocene glaciation substantially remved or huried

evidence of the Endako Group, and sedimentary exposures are

rare.

Local to the Mount Greer licences, outcroppings are

r e s t r i c t e d to the Ter t ia ry Ootsa Lake Group, End& Group, and

t h e Jurassic Topley Intrusives.

Any d r i l l i n g i n the region was halted upon entry in to the

Ootsa Lake Group, resul t ing i n nominal pre-Miocene d r i l l hole

data.

3.2.1 ODtSa Lake Group

The m l c a n i c flot and mi or sedimer of

the Ootsa Lake Group are angularly unconformable to

underlying Mesozoic rocks.

hcevious work by Tipper divided the group i n t o

two; the Andesite Unit and the Rhyolite Unit. The Ande-

site Unit is Upper Cretaceous i n age and is i n excess of

500 metres thickness. fie Rhyolite Unit is Paleocene i n

age and has an undetermined thickness.

The contact ketween these uni ts is l i t ho log ica l ly

gradational and highly a rb i t ra ry .

3.2.2 hdako Group

The Tert iary End& Group unmnformably overlies

the Ootsa Lake Group and consis ts of sedimentary rocks of

t h e late Oligocene overlain by volcanic rocks of the late

Oligocene, Miocene, and younger.

3.2.2.1 coal Developnt

The repxted seam developnent in drill hole

EN-1 was disproved by this program (Figure 3 . 3 ) .

There is 110 coal of significant thickness within

the Endako sediments cn the Mount Greer proprty.

The discrepancies between the twinned holes

can be accounted for by:

i) erroneous logging of original hole, or

ii) the existence of a mjor washout initiated

by tectonic uplift local to the region.

Of the two mssibilities, the former is the

mre probable.

One coal zone 0.8 metres thick was

intersected at a depth of 246.3 metres and was

analyzed to be lignitic in rank.

Stringers of lignite have been observed at

Cheslatta Falls as shown in Photo 3.1. Similar

coal banding m y exist in the Endako sediments on

the licence block but such beds are not in

evidence on the geophysical logs and, if present,

are too thin for propr downhole tool resolution.

granite, granodiorite and diorite. These rocks underlie

a large portion of the Mount Greer area and are known to

be i n contact w i t h rocks of Tertiary age inmediately west

of the property.

3.3.0 Structure

The Endako sediments l ie m an unconformity and are best

described s t ructural ly a s subhorizontal, though the regional dip

trends gently east.

Regionally fau l t l ineations are observable on airphotos

though none are evident on the licence block. %ere is m

evidence as to the degree of displa-nt along f a u l t planes.

5.0.0 CaAL QUALITY

5.1.0 D r i l l Hole Analysis

Rotary d r i l l hole RDH 81-001 lost c i rcu la t ion a t a depth

of 225 metres, and the chip samples collected are believed to

have mme f m the coaly zone at 246.3 metres (refer to focused

beam log i n Appndix V).

The mall sample col lected w a s sen t f o r petrographic and

head analysis, as per ASTM methods, the r e s u l t s of which are

recorded i n Appendix IV.

The coal was determined to he l i g n i t i c with an average

BTU value of 15.69 MJfig.
