BONAPARTE GOLD PROPERTY
It is BC Mining Properties’ opinion that the potential of the Bonaparte Gold Property may never be fully realized until the property's copper-gold porphyry potential has been fully explored through drilling.
The Bonaparte Gold Property has been successfully explored for high-grade gold resulting in two bulk sample programs both intended to effectively high-grade ore for gold from 8 quartz veins near the surface. Approximately 103 kg of gold has been recovered to date from 4064 tonnes milled (25.58 g/t Au).
Many anomalous zones and features for Discovery Zone style gold vein targets extending south and east underly historical geochemical and geophysical results completed in 2013/14. All remain unexplored.
In 2015, the first drill hole ever drilled outside of the Discovery Zone intersected a 1.0m interval of 7.88 gpt/Au and has also never been followed up with additional drilling. This newly discovered vein (#9) and intersection attest to the potential of discovering additional gold-bearing quartz veins along the Cooler Creek trend.
The following paragraph has been copied from the Bonaparte Gold Project 43-101 Report:
“In 2013 and 2014, WestKam Gold Corp. completed a magnetometer and Volterra 3D Induced Polarization geophysical surveys covering an area measuring 800m east-west which extended to the south 1.2km covering the Cooler Creek drainage area and higher ground covered by a cap of basalt located immediately to the south of the Discovery Zone. The extent of the Volterra 3D IP and ground magnetic surveys substantially extended the strike length of the high-grade Discovery Zone trend over 1.2km to the south-southeast. The zone remains open to extension. Several parallel features of similar chargeability and resistivity signatures were also identified. To the southwest of the Discovery Zone, the surveys identified a large magnetic anomaly comprised of extreme highs and lows with coincident IP chargeability responses below a younger basalt cap suggesting the presence of a multi-phase intrusive body.”
Existing and compelling geophysical data indicates potential for a large porphyry system situated approximately 1km South of the original Discovery Zone. A second and smaller zone also appears to lie below the original Discovery Zone at depth. Data indicates the larger southerly body begins near the surface and gradually increases in size to approximately 3km wide x 2km wide at approximately 275m depth and then gradually decreases in size to a depth of 500m which is the extent of the geophysical data.
The overlapping low resistivity and high chargeability anomalies suggest there is a very good probability the approximately to be mineralized. With that said, a few carefully selected exploratory drill-holes may change everything.
The Bonaparte Gold Property is comprised of 3 mineral claims totaling 2969.58 ha (>7338 acres)
