Introduction and Claim History and Geology

Mineral Claim 514080 is situated approximately 10 kilometers south of the Town of Port

Renfrew. The claim is bordered to the south by the Juan De Fuca Marine Trail and to the north by NSR

366666. One creek flows through the claim, it is named Kuitshe Creek and has two small seasonal

unamed tributaries. There is very little exposed bedrock on the claim except along the banks of Kuitshe

creek and in some places where small watercourses traverse areas of de-activated roads.

The Claim is accessed by driving west from Lake Cowichan along the Circle Route to Port

Renfrew then south 8 km to the Minute Creek Forest Service road for 4 km, to a parking spot near

Parkinsons Creek. There is an overgrown de-activated forestry road that is used as a hiking trail to

access the claim. The trail is about 2.5 km in length.

Mineral Claim 514080 named Venatici, was staked by the author using the electronic MTO

system on June 07 2005.

Prospecting in this area began when the Spanish arrived and discovered gold some 200 years ago.

More recently around the turn of the century placer gold was discovered at Sombrio Beach. Yet the

hard rock source of the Sombrio Placers has not been successfully located.

On August 22 2005 a discovery was made on this claim, consisting of the mineral Ferroan

Dolomite with many small 2-3 millimeter cubes of pyrite. The author collected these samples and they

were assayed at Acme Laboratories in Vancouver BC on April 27 2006 and May 03 2006 and returned

values of 5052 parts per billion gold and 6 parts per million gold which is about 6 grams per ton of

gold. And 7.3 parts per million silver which is about 7 grams per ton silver.

On June 01 2008 another vein of Ferroan Dolomite with many cubes of pyrite was discovered in

close proximity to the first vein and samples were taken. A leaching project produced values from this

vein that were approximately 3 grams per ton gold and 4 grams per ton silver.

Continued exploration and sampling for other veins containing precious or base metals is the

main focus of the work on this claim.

Technical Work Description

A program of exploration and hand sampling for geochemical assaying was conducted. GPS

co-ordinates of each sample location were recorded and photographs of sample location were also

taken. Areas containing veins of Basalt with visible fine grains of metal that might yield precious and

base metal values or rare earth metals were targeted. And a vein of Limonite contacting Granite with

grains of metal was discovered. And a new area of stained Basalt contacting a large outcropping of

sandstone was sampled. The samples were catalogued and stored to be sent for assaying.

Sample # UTM Co-ord. Description

1 401037E Basalt bedrock exposed in creekbed with fine grained silver coloured

5374040N metallic specs. The bedrock was a dark blue black colour with 1 cm to

6 cm wide white quartz veins with small cavities and crystals. 10 kg

2 400669E 20 cm wide bright orange vein of highly oxidized Limonite

5373923N found at contact zone of Sandstone and metallic Granite.

1 kg

3 401042E Large outcropping of Basalt meets large outcropping of Sandstone.

5374003N The Basalt is darker with less metallic grains and is stained red on

exposed surfaces. 5 kg

Equipment and Tools Used

This program of geochemical sampling was carried out with hand tools. Hammers and chisels

and various pry bars of different sizes were used to chip at bedrock and break open cracks and seams

in the rock.

Samples were then placed in buckets and sample bags and labelled and backpacked to the

nearest vehicle access points.

UTM co-ordinates were collected with a handheld Magellan eXplorist 100 GPS unit. Co-

ordinates are generally accurate within 5 to 40 meters depending on the topography, interference from

trees and weather conditions.

Digital photographs were taken using a Sony DSC-H70 16.1 Mega Pixel Digital Camera.

Conclusions and Interpretations

Samples should be assayed to determine the relationship between the auriferous Ferroan

dolomite veins previously found on this claim, and the surrounding Basalt outcropping containing a

large amount of silver coloured fine grained metals.

I intend to return to further explore this claim with the hopes of exposing more of the vein of

Limonite contacting the metallic Granite, that was discovered unexpectedly during the course of this

work and get larger samples for analysis and geochemical assaying.
