SUMMARY

Teck Corporation Limited's exploration programma on theSukunka Block 'B' property commenced with geological mapping on

June 1 3 , 1 9 7 1 .

During the early stages of mapping, several coal showings,which were located in the southeast section of the property, werelater revealed by hand trenching and bulldozer stripping to bepart of a thick succession of coals, shales, siltstones andsandstones totalling some 55 feet in thickness.

Only the uppermost coal seam in the exposed section appearsto have an appreciable depth. However, its thickness is highlyvariable owing to penecontemporaneous erosion.

Diamond drilling, which began on August 10 has revealedthat a definite facies change occurs on the property iwtheGething formation. Diamond Drill holes T-l and T-4 intersectedbetween 13 and 14 feet of Chamberlain seam while D.D.H. T-2intersected approximately 3.1'. The seam in T-3 was interbeddedwith up to 60% shale.

The full nature and extent of the facies change will not beknown until further drilling is carried out.

As of August 31, 3,522' of the 15,000' of drilling plannedfor the programme had been completed,

NEATHER

The wet weather that was experienced throughout the first 2 weeksof June continued until the middle of July, with moderate to heavyrain falling on a total of 20 days during the 30 day period.

The weather from July 16 to August 31 was characterized by clearwarm sunny days with only rare rainy periodsoccurring.

Geological mapping of the Sukunka Block 'B' property was carriedout by R. E. Hindson and G. Keevil and i?as conducted mainly throughout thefirst two weeks of July and August. During periods when R. Hindson wasengaged in making arrangements for the commencement of the drill programneand was absent from the property, G. Keevil was transferred to theBrameda-Coalition project to assist R. Verzosa.

Mapping to date has been confined to the properties higher elevations,Very few traverses have been run below the thick succession of sandstonesthat form the floor of the Chamberlain coal seam.

During the early stages of mapping, several coal showings werelocated along a steep escarpment which lies in the southeast sectionof the property (hereafter referred to as the southeast face).

Hand trenching exposed a rather clean coal seam measuring 5.8' inthickness which was sampled in detail (the results are listed underSampling in this report). Later bulldozer stripping revealed that theseam was only the first of many in a thick succession of coals, shales,siltstones and sandstones totalling between 50 and 60 feet in thickness.

r The uppermost coal seam is the thickest of those exposed in the onehalf mile stripped area. However, its thickness is variable owing tothe fact that it frequently has a sandstone roof and often containssandstone lenses which are indicative of wash-outs.

The exposed section also reveals gentle anti-clinal and synclinalfolding at the elevation at which the coal lies. Geological mappingto the southwest of the exposure indicates that the coal horizon,

0 which has an average dip to the southwest, may descend in elevation with

- 3 -

the aid of a series of steep monoclines.

Dips on the property in the areas thus far mapped vary between.O" and 86' with the average estimated to be between 7' and 11'. Thesteepest dips recorded lie in the vicinity of Mt. Chamberlain alongthe southwest boundary of the property which is marked by the north-east limb of a northwest striking anticline. The only other steepdips recorded in the course of mapping to date lie in a vicinitybetween drill sites B-l and C-5 along the southeast face. Dips upto 36O have been noted in this area.

No evidence of faulting has yet been indicated by surf&eexposures. However, a fault in D.D.H. T-l was located at 864.7' atthe base of the first coal seam intersected upon entering theGething Formation.

Drilling completed to the end of August indicates that a definitefacies change occurs on the property in the Gething Formation. Thefull nature and extent of the facies change is not yet known.

For geological sections of the first four drill holes completedand a section through the stripped area see Appendix 'A'.

,A final geological map is in preparation at the property and will not

be available for re-print until the end of the programme. In themeantime, a map that was prepared at an earlier date to illustrate photogeological interpretation and proposed drilling sites, is included inthis report to show the location of drill holes, drill Stes, roadscand stripped areas.

DRILLING

On July 14, 1971, a contract for 15,000' of drilling was let toConnors Drilling Limited of Vancouver, B.C.

Drill No. 1, a Longyear 44, was moved onto the property on

August 5th and drilling began on August 10th. During a period endingAugust 31st, drill no. 1 completed 2752' in two holes (T-l and T-3)for an average of 125' per day.

Drill No. 2, a Lox&year 38, arrived at the property onAugust 17th and commenced to drill on August 21st. To the end ofAugust, drill No. 2 has completed 770' in 3 holes for an average of77' per day.

Although the No. 2 drill has had shorter holes to contend withthe crews do not appear to be very e'fficient and their performance todate is less than satisfactory. The No. 2 drill is scheduled to

drill a deep hole in the near future and if its record does notimprove, the crews are to be replaced.

Drill casing is being left in all of the deep holes and allholes are being cemented on completion.

The average direct cost per foot for the 3,522' drilled to August31st is $8.21.

Stripping has been conducted along a f mile section of the ...-southeast face to expose the coal showings that were located during thecourse of geological mapping (for location see map). In places

up to 53’ of section has been exposed with the minimum exposure being10 to 15'.

The area was a difficult one in which to work owing to the attitude ofthe terrain which in many places dipped between 75 and 90'. Sandstone

blocks weighing up to 20 tons often spalled off at the working faceas the Cats were stripping, creating hazardous working conditions. _

Blasting sometimes had to be carried out to move some of the largert$lus blocks.

A total of 448.5 Cat hours was spent on the stripping at acost of $12,400.13.

It is not anticipated that any more stripping will beconducted for the duration of the programme.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Over 150 Cat hours were spent on road repair during therainy period from mid June to mid July so that access to theTeck property could be maintained.

New road construction on the property was of a limited natureuntil the commencement of the drilling programme.

The Teck base camp (Base Camp 1 - see map)'is located in thenorth central sector of the Sukunka Block 'B' property at an elevationof 5,550'.

c Up until August 2nd the camp consisted of one 14 x 16' -tentwith wooden frame and floor. In order to facilitate the crews forthe drill programme, the camp was expanded to include the following:

1 - 10 x 52 kitchen-diner storeroom trailer1 - 10 x 36 washcar - office complex trailer

2 - 10 x 52 8 man sleepers trailers

The four trailers have been leased (with option '?o purchase) from0

Crown.Catering Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta. The rental rate is$75.00 per day with no minimum rental period. The totalpurchase price for the units is $26,000 and 70% of all rentpaid is to be applicable at any time.

The trailers, which were in storage in Grande Prairie, weretrucked to the Brameda Base Camp and from there they were moved some11 miles to the Teck Camp by Cat. .

All four trailers are propane fired and they are served bytwo 500 gal. propane tanks.

A 1000 gal. septic tank has been installed to dispose of waste.

Power to the camp is provided by a rented 11 KVA Listergenerator. A 30 KVA Caterpillar generator is on standby at acost of $20.00/month.

In late September the camp is to be moved to Bullmoose Creekat an elevation of approximately 3,500'.

CATERING

Catering services at the Teck camp are being provided byArctic Services Ltd. of Vancouver. The catering firm is supplyingbedding and meals at a cost of $7.60 per man day with a 10 manminimum. Casual meal9 and lodgings are charged out at a rate of$2.50 each.

TRANSPORTATION

e Two Hodaka motorcycles were the sole means of transportationon the property until August 6th when a truck was rented for a one

week period to help move supplies while the camp was being expanded.A Teck Land Rover was later transferred from the Coalition project toreplace the rented vehicle.

Although the poor weather conditions that were experiencedin the last week of September hampered operations to some extent,exploration on the Sukunka Bullmoose Project progressed rathersmoothly.

More than 9,000 feet of the total 15,000 feet of drillingplanned for the programme has been completed.

The diamond drilling carried out during the month ofSeptember has indicated that the facies change in the GethingFormation that was revealed in the early stages of the programme,covers an extensive area on the property.

With the exception of two holes which are located in thenorth central section of the property no coal seams of suitablethickness and grade have been intersected to date.

Diamond drill sections and a topographic map showing thelocations of all diamond drill holes, drill sites, roads andstripped areas are included in this report.

WEATHER

The weather for the first 3 weeks of September was generallygood with only a few light snow showers occurring during the middle ofthe month.

Throughout the last week of September light snow, accompaniedby 40 to 50 mph winds, fell continuously. Approximately 2.5 to 3 feet ofsnow fell on the area and drifts commonly exceeded 6 feet in depth.Temperatures ranged from 18 to 30'.

GEOLOGY

The diamond drilling carried out during the month of Septemberhas indicated that the facies change in the Gething Formation that waspreviously indicated in holes T-2 and T-3 extends through all areassubsequently tested.

With the exception of diamond drill holes T-l and T-4, whichare located in the north central section of the property, no coal seamsof suitable thickness and grade have been intersected to date.

DRILLING

To the end of September, 1971, a total of 9,204 feet ofdrilling in 10 holes has been completed on the Sukunka Bullmoose project.

The total direct expenditure for diamond drilling to date is$75,771.03 for an average of $8.23 per foot.

During the month of September drill No. 1 completed 3,262 feetin 2 holes for an average of 109 feet par day. While drill No. 2 completed2,420 feet in 4 holes for an average of 77 feet per day.

Dril.1 No. l's average is down for the month of September owingto the fact that it encountered severe water problems in D.D.H. T-8 andlost 9 shifts or 4.5 days to cementing.' Artesian conditions were encounteredin hole T-8 with water flowing at an estimated 100 gallons par minute. Ovar115 bags of cement were required to retard the flow of water to an acceptablelevel.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION

A total of 4.6 miles of new road was constructed in September to

permit access to drill sites and to Teck's future camp site (Base Camp No. 2)

on Bullmoose Creek.

The heavy‘snowfall which was received in the higher elevations of

the property turned to rain at the lower elevations and made road

construction and maintenance extremely difficult.

During the last week of September 3 Cats were required just to keep

the drilling operation under way.

SUMMARY\

The Teck-Bullmoose exploration programme was terminated

at the end of October 1971.

At the completion of the project 14,657 feet of drilling had

been carried out in 15 holes and the majority of the property had been

mapped.

‘Diamond drilling has indicated that a major facies change in the

Gething Formation takes place in the property from the northeast to the

southwest with the coal seams to the southwest generally becoming

thinner, more shaly, and for the most part, greater in number.

Only the north-central and northeastern sections of the property,

although limited in areal extent, still remain as promising areas for

outlining suitable thiclmesses of good grade coking coal.

Geological map and sections are being prepared for correlative

purposes and a final report is to be submitted at a later date.

A complete set of drill sections and a drill plan are included_in this report.

WEATHER

Warm weather accompanied by heavy rainfall was experienced

during the first week of October. Consequently Me snowfaIl that was received

during the last week of September melted creating severe runoff conditions.

The remainder of the month was shared by equal periods of

sunshine and cloud with the occasional light snow fall. Temperatures

hovered around the 15’ mark.

GEOLOGY

Continued diamond drilling throughout the remainder of the exploration

programme has clearly illustrated that the major direction of the facies

change in the Gething Formation on the property is from the northeast’to

the southwest.

The Bird seam, which lies close to the Moosebar - Gething

contact, was not intersected in either of the diamond drill holes T-12 or

T-13 which are located in the southwest section of the property.

In hole T-13, 20 feet of conglomerate and sandstone - conglomerate

was cut close to the Moosebar-Gething contact. This is indicative that

the environment to the southwest was more active at the time of deposition

and conditions were considerably less than ideal for the accumulation of

organic debris.

What is believed to be the Chamberlain seam in the southern most

areas tested by diamond drilling has been reduced to a thickness that

seldom exceeds 2 feet.

No further drilling is planned for the area which lies to the south

of diamond drill holes T-13 to T-15 inclusive since the resuIts in theseI

holes were not encouraging and the area to the south is extremely limited

due to its proximity to unfavourable structure.

cl

The north central and north eastern sections of the property

still remain as promising areas for outlining suitable thiclmessess of

good grade coking coal.

DRILLING

At the termination of the drilling programme on October 25,

1971 a total of 14,657 feet had been completed in 15 holes.

The total direct cost of the drilling was $125,430.57 for an

average of $8.55 per foot.

In early October the drill foreman and the No. 2 drill crew

were replaced. The direct result was a vastly improved daily footage

rate on the No 2 rig from an average of 77 feet per day for the months

of August and September to 105 feet per day for the month of October.

During the month of October (24 day period) the No. 1 drill

completed 2,829 feet in 4 holes for an average of 117 feet per day, while

the No. 2 drill completed 2,624 feet in 3 holes (25 day period).

Diamond drill core is stored either at the site at which it was

collected or at camp sites No. 1 or No. 2.

The location of the core from each hole is marked on the.

&companying drill plan.

Owing to the results obtained in drill holes T-7, T-8, T-10, T-11,

and T-12 the drilling planned for sites D-3 and D-5 was not carried out.

An 8.7 ft. coal seam was intersected in DDH T-11 in the Gates

Member of the Commotion Formation some 121 feet above the Gates -

Sulmnka contact.

The coal seam is very bright and shiny and appears extremely

clean. The seam has a siltstone - shale floor and a conglomerate roof.

It is anticipated that since the roof is conglomerate that the thickness of the

seam would be highly variable over any area1 extent.

The Redhawk G.M.C. 4WD which broke down in late September

was replaced by a similar vehicle in early October. Both the G.M.C. 4WD

and the Hertz 4WD, rented in September, were kept on the job until its

completion at the end of October.

CAMP

On October 8, 1971 the Teok base camp was moved from site

No. 1 to site No. 2 which is situated in the valley of Bullmoose Creek.

(for camp locations see map) The move took Iess than 14 hours to complete

and no drill time was lost.

The 4 trailers that were rented from Crown Caterers Co. Ltd.

of Edmonton, Alberta were returned to Grande Prairie on October 2.8, 1971.
