RE: Gold fields makes big discovery

RE: Gold fields makes big discovery
  • Candorado Operating Company Ltd owns 100 % of the Murphy Lake Property, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty on a portion of the Property
  • The Property is in the Quesnel Terrane and the exploration targets are alkalic copper-gold and calc-alkalic copper porphyry deposits

Location, Infrastructure and Resources:

  • The Property lies west of Murphy Lake in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, 50 km north of 100 Mile House, and comprises 28,000 hectares
  • The Property borders to the south GWR Resources' Lac La Hache property, which hosts copper-gold porphyry mineralization at several occurrences
  • The Property adjoins the southern boundary of Fjordland and Cariboo Rose Resources' Woodjam South property. A 2007 IP survey led to the discovery of copper calc-alkalic porphyry mineralization in a new area called the Southeast Zone. This zone lies within 1 km of the Property
  • Good access to the Property is provided by a network of logging and exploration roads from 100 Mile House and Lac La Hache
  • 100 Mile House and Williams Lake, located along Highway 97 west of the property are resource oriented communities

History:

  • Numerous companies have explored the area since 1966. Diamond drilling was performed by Craigmont Mines (1974) and Regional Resources (1995)

Geology:

  • Situated within the central portion of the Quesnel Terrane, which is dominated by alkalic and calc-alkalic island-arc volcanics and co-magmatic intrusives of the Triassic Nicola Group
  • Recent mapping by BCGS geologist P. Schiarizza indicates that portions of the Property is underlain by Late Triassic Spout Lake intrusives, consisting of monzodiorites and monzonites
  • The Takomkane batholith lies on the eastern margin of the Property. The newly discovered Southeast Zone on the adjacent Woodjam South property lies within this intrusion
  • Most of the Property in covered in relatively thick overburden, which means that geophysics is needed to help discover drill targets

Mineral Occurrences:

  • In the area of the Murphy Lake Showing, drill core has shown copper mineralization to occur within 10 to 15-cm thick chalcopyrite-chlorite-quartz veins as well as on fine fractures within K-feldspar veins
  • The geology, alteration and mineralization encountered confirm that copper-gold alkalic porphyry mineralization exists on the Property

Historic Exploration Results:

  • Drilling in 1995 by Regional Resources returned 0.41% Cu over 41.7 m in hole ML95-06, as well as a second zone of 1.14% Cu over 9.3 m. ML-95-1 returned 0.20% Cu across 45 m.

Recent Developments in the Area:

  • GWR Resources is continuing exploration on its copper-gold porphyry prospects to the south
  • Fjordland and Cariboo Rose are planning further exploration at the Southeast Zone and on other prospects on their Woodjam South property
  • Gold Fields has optioned the Woodjam North property and is actively exploring the property.

Candorado Exploration Program Highlights:

  • In 2004, Candorado carried out an IP survey and a 1,600 m drilling program in nine holes in the area of the Murphy Lake showing
  • Candorado confirmed the copper mineralization encountered in the 1995 drill program. Only selected sections of core were sent for analysis; of the core analysed, 0.46% Cu over 14 m was encountered
  • In 2006, a detailed radiometric and magnetic airborne survey was flown over the majority of the Property. Interpretation by R. Shives led to the generation of several geophysical targets
  • Exploration in 2007 on the Murphy Lake showing included field examinations of geophysical targets, grid soil surveys and two diamond drill holes. Best intercepts were 781 ppm Cu over 18 m; and 628 ppm Cu over 18 m

Proposed Exploration:

  • Conduct an IP-magnetic survey ground survey over the northern part of the Property
