The McConnell property comprises 8,700 hectares in the Golden Horseshoe region of British Columbia. The road-accessible property is located 22 km southeast of the past-producing Kemess Copper-Gold Mine in close proximity to a hydro grid. The property has active exploration and drill permits, and has had over $4 million in prior exploration work. Potential copper/gold porphyry style systems have been identified along with shear hosted, gold mineralization. Satellite remote sensing structural interpretation and data synthesis has confirmed the gold and copper zones as high priority targets for further exploration. An additional 5 high priority and 11 secondary priority areas have been identified using the same criteria. Future areas of investigation are spread along the entire property and are coincident with the major geological faults.
