The work is designed to carry out its first geological assessment of the Mess Creek South Mineral Claims 100% owned by Copper Fox. Prospecting of the claims by six geologists resulted in the collection of 27 rock and 9 soil samples along four traverses. Sample No 08CFL3-3 (Assay No. 167570) assayed 5.94 g/t gold from a sample described as a quartzite.
===============
The mine property itself is situated within the Schaft Creek watershed which drains north into MessCreek. The closest lava flows to the Project area are part of the Big Raven Formation atop the escarpment forming the east side of Mess Creek valley (Souther 1992). In particular, the Mess Lake lava field and
Ash Pit (both east of Mess Lake), and Nahta Cone at the source of Nahta Creek, are young volcanic centres dating to the Holocene.
The Galore Road connects to Highway 37 near Bob Quinn Lake. The total road distance from the Schaft mine site to Highway 37 is 105 km. The majority of the 39.5 km Schaft Road is within the Mess Creek watershed. In order to avoid geohazards along the Mess Creek valley, the Schaft Road will cross Mess Creek twice (Figure 1.1-3). Mess Creek is considered navigable per Transportation Canada criteria.
