The Kannika Gold Project consists of five (5) mineral claims covering 1,887.04 Ha, located approximately 60 kilometres south-east of Vernon, British Columbia with access to the project via paved and gravel roads.
Historically, the project has seen some activity when between 1899 and 1927, four (4) shallow shafts and several surface cuts were opened on the property to take advantage of several high-grade gold showings. The miners followed veins up to 1.8 meters wide and had assays up to 52.8g/t gold and 274 g/t silver with total production for this period being approximately 99 tonnes of ore as reported by the minister of mines. Production between 1935 and 1938 totaled 99 tonnes yielding 2,022 grams of gold and10,295 grams of silver.
Mineralization is considered to be a mesothermal type deposit, hosted in four parallel quartz veins, that can be traced in the host granitic rocks for over 3.2 kilometers. The veins average 90 centimeters in width with local swells up to 180 centimeters wide and carry pyrite, small amounts of native gold, galena, and sphalerite.
Recent, systematic exploration has not been undertaken on the property. Soil and rock geochemical, geophysical surveys and detailed geological mapping will be undertaken by the Company over the entire project area.
Bathurst CEO Hardy Forzley said: "The Kannika Property provides an opportunity for the Company to add a very exciting prospect to our property portfolio. It is located in one of the most prospective areas for gold mineralization in British Columbia and with easy access we will be able to work year round to advance its development".
