Birch Copper-Gold Project

The road accessible Birch Property, covering 1,736 contiguous hectares of mineral tenure, is located in the Cariboo Mining Division of British Columbia, approximately 60 kilometres northeast of the city of Williams Lake.  Great Bear has the option to earn 100% interest in the project subject to a 2.5 % NSR by incurring exploration expenditures and making option payments and issuing stock over a 7 year period.

The property was acquired for its potential of hosting an alkalic porphyry copper and/or gold deposit.  Geologically, it is situated in the central portion of the Quesnel Terrane, which underlies a number of porphyry copper and gold deposits in British Columbia (ie. Copper Mountain, Afton, Mount Polley, QR, Mount Milligan, Red Chris and Galore Creek).  Imperial Metal Corp’s Mount Polly Mine, is located 25 kilometres northwest of the Birch property and is hosted by a similar suite of alkalic rocks.

Past work at the Birch property included geophysics (magnetic and IP), geochemistry (soil and rock for copper and gold) and drilling (percussion and diamond).  The Company is compiling the results of these historic surveys to help focus upcoming exploration.
