Crystal Lake Property

British Columbia, Canada

CRYSTAL LAKE COPPER-MOLYBDENUM PROJECT Overview

The Crystal Lake Cu-Mo Project is an early-stage exploration project located in a well-mineralized district of central British Columbia. Originally staked following a 2009 Geoscience BC geochemical release highlighting strong Cu and Mo anomalies in lake sediments, the project has since shown promising signs of a copper-molybdenum porphyry system. Key exploration to date has included airborne geophysics, detailed mapping, soil sampling, and geochemical analysis—highlighting high-grade copper values and classic porphyry alteration signatures.

Location & Accessibility

The Crystal property consists of four contiguous claims located 24 km south of Fort Fraser, BC. It is accessible year-round via Kenny Dam Road and well-maintained forestry roads. The region is well serviced by nearby towns such as Vanderhoof and Fraser Lake, along with key transportation and power infrastructure which reduces exploration costs significantly.

Highlights

High-Grade Copper: Rock samples returned grades up to 0.70% Cu, with accompanying silver (>100 ppm Ag) and gold (up to 57.3 ppb Au).
Geological Setting: Diorite-hosted porphyry system with strong magnetic highs and propylitic to potassic alteration—analogous to nearby Bell Mine.
Strategic Location: 24 km south of Fort Fraser, with direct access to major infrastructure including CN rail, BC Hydro transmission, and Highway 16.
Size: The project covers 5,225.93 hectares (~52.25 km²).
Untested Depth Potential: Surface sampling and geophysics indicate mineralization trends that may extend below current levels of erosion, warranting drilling.

Exploration Work

Key exploration to date has included airborne geophysics, detailed mapping, soil sampling, and geochemical analysis—highlighting high-grade copper values and classic porphyry alteration signatures.

2009–2010 Exploration Program: Included airborne magnetics, geochemical surveys, soil sampling, and rock analysis.
Magnetics & Alteration Zoning: Aeroquest magnetic data revealed large-scale diorite intrusions and linear structures believed to control mineralization. Rb/Sr ratios and mapping confirmed potassic alteration zones—typical of copper porphyry systems.
Raven Showing: High-grade surface mineralization and alteration suggest a mineralized stockwork within the Crystal Diorite extending from Holler Lake to Bennett Lake.
