ABOUT MINEWEST SILVER & GOLD INC. (SILVERKNIFE CLAIMS)
The property lies on the northeastern flank of the Cassiar Mountains. The terrain of the area is moderately mountainous, with rounded peaks and ridges separated by broad U-shaped valleys. Property elevations range from 1,050 m ASL to 1,660 m ASL. Roughly 20% of the property is above tree line, which is at approximately 1,450 m ASL.
The Silverknife Property is contiguous to Silvercorp's Silvertip silver-lead-zinc deposit which lies less than one (1) km from the Property boundary. Silvercorp has been active in the past two (2) years exploring and re-evaluating the Silvertip Property towards the initiation of mining operations. Recently, Silvercorp opened up a 50 man camp on the Silvertip Property and has announced plans to apply for a Provincial Small Mine Permit for an underground mining operation with a capacity of under 75,000 tonnes per year and all ancillary dewatering and related permits. Exploration diamond drilling from 10,000-20,000 meters is currently underway on the Silvertip Property.
The Silverknife mineral claims have been held continuously since they were staked in 1983 and are held in trust by Reg Technologies, Inc.
Through a series of Property agreements, Reg Technologies, Inc. is retaining a 5% net profit interest in the Property. A one percent (1%) NSR is payable to SMR in relation to the Silverknife Property.
The Silverknife Property was worked extensively from 1984 through 1988 including geochemical soil sampling, VLF-EM surveys, Induced Polarization surveys and diamond drilling (totaling over 4,400 meters).
These projects located geochemical and geophysical anomalies considered high priority exploration targets as well as generated drill assay results from trace up to 4.2 meters of 29.3 oz/ton silver, 16.5 percent lead and 7.1 percent zinc (Hole 85-21).Sphalerite, galena and pyrite within these mineralized sections are associated with ran coloured siderite which has been interpreted as associated with the higher grace intersections.
