|  |  The Pat project is located 25 kilometres east of the Cariboo community of Horsefly. The property encompasses an area of 1,330 hectares and is located approximately 50 kilometres southeast of the operating Mount Polley Mine, owned by Imperial Metals Corporation. The property was staked in 2004 to cover a prominent aeromagnetic anomaly that is similar in size (about three kilometres by three kilometres), shape and intensity to the anomaly which corresponds to the Mount Polley Mine. Access The Property is accessible year round on moderate terrain by a series of logging roads. Geology The Pat property is contiguous and partly surrounded by the Gold Fields Canada Exploration and Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp. Woodjam Project. The property is located in the Quesnel Trough, a large regional depositional belt extending 2,000 km from the U.S. border in the south to the Stikine River in the north. The region hosts several large tonnage copper-gold 'porphyry type' deposits including Imperial Metals' Mount Polley Mine, Barkerville Gold's QR Mine, Thompson Creek Metals' Mt. Milligan deposit (in development) and Northgate's Kemess Mine. In addition, Taseko's Gibraltar Cu-Mo mine lies 50 km to the west of Woodjam, outside the Quesnel Trough. Quesnel Trough alkali-porphyry deposits typically occur in basalts and andesitic flows, fragmental rocks and alkalic intrusive complexes. They are generally gold-copper deposits consisting of chalcopyrite-pyrite and minor bornite sulphide mineralization. Sulphide zones are developed adjacent to concentrically-zoned alkaline plutons that are themselves seldom sulphide bearing. Recent Programs Four drill holes totalling 439 metres were completed in 2006. The first two holes, bottoming at 98 and 129 metres, failed to get through a succession of overlying sand and gravel. Both of these holes, located 700 metres apart, were drilled in a very strong regional magnetic anomaly that is now more intriguing given the degree of magnetic signature with this amount of cover. One of the remaining holes, located approximately one kilometre to the north, encountered altered and weakly mineralized volcanic sediments from which the most anomalous three-metre sample contained 942 ppm copper, supporting the concept that the buried magnetic feature has porphyry copper potential. Status The Pat project is owned by Cariboo Rose 100%. Maps
