Distortion by Company distortion artist"The bulk of the work on the property was carried out during the period between 1985
and 1988 by Golden arch resources Ltd. (and precursor company Turner Resources
Ltd. and other related companies. During this period over 40,000 ft of diamond drilling
was completed. Most of this drilling appears to have been on the Abbott and its
projected extensions. The Wagner and several other occurrences were also drilled.
Some underground rehabilitation, sampling, diamond drilling and development work
was carried out on a least three of the adits on the property. Geological mapping and
sampling was also carried out and minor reports were written on a number of the less
developed showings on the property.
Surface mining took place on the Abbott and the Jewell. Two or more bulk tonnages
were shipped for processing at a custom mill. Part of this bulk tonnage sample also
came from a high-grade stockpile at the Wagner. Considerable roadwork was done on
the property. In addition, a trailer camp was set up, portions of which remain at the base
of the mountain. It appears from one report that the Bailey bridge crossing the Lardeau
River to access Healy Cr valley was also built or funded by the company."
