|  |  The Canadian Creek property consists of 253 contiguous claims in the Whitehorse Mining District, Yukon Territory. The property is located approximately 300 km northwest of Whitehorse and 160 km south of Dawson City. Geology The property, which has the potential to host a porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposit or an intrusion related gold deposit, is strategically located to the immediate west of Western Copper Corporation's Casino deposit, a porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum system with a large documented resource (1.002 billion tones grading 0.22% copper, 0.25 g/t gold and 0.02% Mo, (E.D. Titley, Report Revised Resource Estimate, Casino Property, Yukon Territory, for Lumina Copper Corp., Feb 27, 2004). On the Cariboo Rose ground, a large copper and molybdenum in soil geochemical anomaly was outlined in 2003 and appears to be flanked by a gold anomaly, indicating that metal zoning has occurred. Limited drilling completed in 1994 and 2000 within the gold anomaly returned encouraging gold mineralization in several holes on the south-western side of the grid (above the copper-molybdenum anomaly). Hole 94-319 intersected 150 metres (entire length) grading 0.49 g/t gold while hole 2000-01 intersected 26 metres grading 1.04 g/t gold in the top of the hole and a second 30 metre interval grading 0.52 g/t at the bottom of the hole. Most of the area of the 2003 grid has not been drilled. A program of surveying and geochemistry was completed in 2006 in preparation for 2007 drill program. During this surveying, several pieces of mineralized galena rich rubble were found, grading up to 4,919 g/t (143 oz/t) silver. Although this style of mineralization (precious metal vein) is not the predominant target type it represents an additional potential of the property. In 2007, five holes were drilled. Highlights include hole 07-04, which returned 0.31 g/t gold (with 516 ppm copper and 15 ppm Mo) over 139.9 metres (9.1m to 145.0m). A narrower interval in this hole returned 2.96 g/t gold over 6.0 metres (139.0m to 145.0m). Access The property is accessible in two different ways. The first is by barge from Minto or Dawson city and then an all season road from the mouth of Britannia Creek to the property. The second is via a winter only highway from the Freegold property 90 km to the southwest. Status This property is available for option. Maps
