Athelstan-Jackpot (A-J) Gold Project
- The A-J property contains 2 past producing gold mines – the Athelstan and Jackpot.
- Production: 7,600 oz Au & 9,000 oz Ag
- Extensive surface gold surface mineralization along 1.5km gold trend.
- A potential resource of 2,000‐5,000 ounces of gold in the surface and near surface mineralized areas appears to exist within the A‐J Group based on previous trenching results and sampling of extensive mine dumps 1.
-
The identification of one to two areas of ore have been identified having dimensions of 2.0 metres thick, 15 metres in width and 90 metres in length with an average grade of 0.3 opt gold 2.
- Only 1.5kms to 200 tpd toll mill
- Excellent infrastructure with power, water and highway access.

A-J South Zone Cross Section
South Zone: Potential near-surface resource with high-grade feeder system
South Zone drilling tested for a potential feeder contact/structure for the near-surface gold mineralization within a 1.0 km mineralized gold trend which includes the Athelstan and Jackpot past producing gold mines which produced 7,600 ozs Au & 9,000 oz Ag (Minfile 082ESE047)
Along with the two former gold mines this trend includes numerous trenches, pits and adit as well as mine waste dumps. Sampling in this area has returned extensive high gold and silver results. In particular sampling of the mine dumps have returned grades as high as 1oz/ton gold and over 5 oz/ton silver.1

AJ Mine Dump Sampling
(Arrowhead Resources Surface Dump Sampling report, Grant 1981)
The prolific Greenwood mining camp of southern British Columbia is considered to be one of the most concentrated mineralized areas in western North America with over 30 past producing mines, each only scratching the surface.
3 smelters were situated in this area with the 2nd largest copper smelter in the world located in Grand Forks.
Highway #3 separates the A-J and CBC properties.
One model suggests that the two properties may share the same deep seated porphyry system.
