Columbia Queen Fact Sheet, February 15, 2013 1 of 11 
 
Targets Four deposit types are present, in this highly mineralized (sulfides) terrane, on or adjacent to the
Columbia Queen property: (1) metavolcanic/metasediment hosted VMS Noranda/Kuroko Style
copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold deposit (Copper Queen and J&L), (2) SEDEX zinc, lead and
silver deposit (Mastodon and Yellowjacket), (3) polymetallic vein silver, lead, zinc and gold
deposit (J&L), and Skarn tungsten deposit (Thanksgiving).
Location The Columbia Queen property is located in the Big Bend area of the northern Selkirk Mountains of
southeastern British Columbia, approximately 30 kilometres north of the town of Revelstoke. The
region is well serviced by grid electric power, mainline/logging roads and Revelstoke with service
shops for welding, electrical, machining and heavy equipment maintenance as well as a 1,460m
paved runway at the airport. The property is centered at 51◦14'N latitude and 118◦12'W longitude
on NTS map sheet 82M/1 in the Revelstoke Mining Division. Logging roads provide access to
much of the Property.
Access The resource and transportation hub city of Revelstoke (population ~7,200) is on the CPR mainline
and on the Trans-Canada Highway No. 1, about 6 hours driving time (640km) east from
Vancouver, British Columbia. Access from Revelstoke to the Columbia Queen property (~30km)
is via the Big Bend Highway (Highway 23) north to La Forme Creek where logging roads provide
access to the southwestern part of the Property and then northward on Highway 23 to the next
major drainage of Carnes Creek where a network of logging roads provides access to the
Property’s northern and eastern mineral claims.
Land
Ownership
The Property consists of eleven BCMTO mineral tenures covering 4,753ha, owned by John A.
Chapman (50%) and Gerald G. Carlson on behalf of KGE Management Ltd. (50%). The Columbia
Queen Property is available for Option.
Area
History
 1865: Placer gold was discovered and worked in Carnes Creek.
 1896: The J&L hardrock gold showings were discovered. Continued exploration and
development (extensive drilling and underground workings) on the property has resulted in
a 2012 reported NI 43-101 compliant resource by the property owner Huakan International
Mining Inc., as follows: J&L measured and indicated at 3,953,000 tonnes grading 5.68gpt
gold, 56.5gpt silver, 1.94% lead and 3.56% zinc; J&L inferred at 4,337,000 tonnes grading
4.16gpt gold, 57.8gpt silver, 1.82% lead and 2.72% zinc; Yellowjacket indicated at
1,003,000 tonnes grading 0.21gpt gold, 64.1gpt silver, 2.77% lead and 9.08% zinc;
Yellowjacket inferred at 35,000 tonnes grading 0.35gpt gold, 81.9gpt silver, 3.18% lead
and 6.26% zinc. The J&L development has been challenged with refractory gold and
silver in mainly arsenopyrite that indicates the probable need for pressure or bacterial
leaching to break down the sulfides to release the gold and silver.
 1897: The Mastodon hardrock showings were staked and since that time the property has
undergone intermittent development and production, yielding 31,940 tons of ore and
recovered metals as follows: 8 ounces gold, 6,113 ounces of silver, 180,334 pounds of
lead, 5,911,619 pounds of zinc, and 24,716 pounds of cadmium. In 1950 W.H. White of
the B.C. Ministry of Mines conducted a biogeochemical survey by sampling and analyzing
twigs from spruce and hemlock trees at an near the Mastodon workings. It is interesting to
note that several trees sampled near the Camp 400 meters west of the underground
workings, which is in an area of glacial cover, were anomalous in zinc – this area shows up
in the Columbia Queen 2010 VTEM as anomalous (conductor) and trends NW onto the
Columbia Queen property. Refer to Report of the Minister of Mines, 1950. The 1976 soil
geochemical program (AR6235) by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd., that straddled the present
Columbia Queen/Mastodon claim boundary, indicated anomalous lead and zinc over a
broad area (1,600 meters N/S x 500 meters E/W) – this is also coincident with the
Columbia Queen Fact Sheet, February 15, 2013 2 of 11 
 
biogeochemical anomaly (1950) and the VTEM anomaly (2010). The Mastodon property
is owned by Teck Resources Limited.
 Circa 1900 at the Copper Queen showing: The Mastodon zinc-lead-silver deposit, about
5.5 kilometers east of the Copper Queen prospect, was discovered in 1897, and prospectors
of the time probably knew of the malachite (copper oxide) stained cliff at the Copper
Queen. The first work on the Copper Queen was reported in the early 1900's, and
sometime before 1965 three drill holes tested the showings, but no records of the results of
this work were recorded.
 1966 at Copper Queen: Clearwater Mines Ltd. reported (George Cross News Letter
(GCNL) No. 14, January 20, 1966) a surface channel sample across a true width of 20 feet
of exposed sulfide mineralization on the Copper Queen showings returned 1.21% copper
and 1.23% zinc. Clearwater used five diamond drill holes, totaling 1,425 feet, to test the
occurrence. Holes CQ-1 and CQ-2 were collared on a bench approximately 300 meters to
the east of the showings, but apparently failed to reach bedrock. Holes CQ-3, CQ-4, and
CQ-5 were collared at an old drill site just above the main showings and fan drilled on a
N20oW section line from a single setup. All three holes had intersections of copper and
zinc mineralization over significant core lengths. Hole CQ-3 (a vertical hole) was reported
to be well mineralized with copper (chalcopyrite) from 112 feet to about 206 feet, but only
visual estimates of grade were reported (GCNL No. 114, June 14, 1966). Hole CQ-4
contained intersections from 170 feet to 205 feet and 225 feet to 270 feet averaging 0.6%
copper and 0.47% copper, respectively (GCNL No. 131, July 8, 1966). Hole CQ-5 was
reported to contain a 98 feet section between 187 feet and 285 feet (true width reported to
be 60 feet) with grades running between 0.45% copper and 1.14% copper (GCNL No. 137,
July 18, 1966). Grid drilling, reported to be planned by Clearwater, was never undertaken.
 1976 at Copper Queen: Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. held the property and conducted a
program of silt and soil sampling and geological mapping which defined a northwest-
southeast trending coincident copper, zinc and lead soil anomaly with a 600 meter length
on the CC9 claim. The anomalous trend was open to the southeast. The Copper Queen
showing was mapped as a 6 meter thick layer of calcareous metavolcanic rocks with
malachite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite mineralization. Kerr Addison drilled four
BQ holes totaling 775.3 meters on units 13 and 14 of the CC9 claim, but specific locations
and results were not reported (Exploration in B.C. 1977, pp. E66-E67).
 1999 at Copper Queen: Orphan Boy Resources Inc. acquired the Copper Queen property
and Crest Geological Consultants Limited was retained to conduct an exploration program.
The exploration program consisted of detailed soil and rock sampling in the same area as
the 1976 Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. work on its CC9 claim. A zinc, copper and silver
anomaly was confirmed in soils, and significant zinc, copper and silver was discovered in
rock outcrops within the soil anomaly. Rock assays were as high as 7.34% zinc, >10.0%
copper (geochemical assay limit) and >99,999ppb silver (geochemical assay limit). Based
upon the 1976 and 1999 work this important metal anomaly is open to the north, northwest
and southeast.
 2009 at Copper Queen: John A. Chapman and Gerald G. Carlson acquired the property,
expanded its size from 990 hectares to 4,753 hectares, and changed the name of this larger
property to Columbia Queen. In 2010 Carlson and Chapman optioned the Property to
Signature Resources Ltd. a private B.C. company. In that same year Signature
commissioned Geotech Limited to fly a helicopter-borne VTEM and Magnetic survey over
the entire Property with overlap onto adjoining areas. Significant electromagnetic (EM)
and magnetic anomalies were defined and some follow-up prospecting including soil and
rock sampling all was used to form a NI 43-101 report by Don McIntyre, Ph.D., P.Eng., in
support of an IPO and listing of Signature on the TSX Venture Exchange. During the
prospecting a high-grade float sample was found on the east side of the Property. This
sample, number CQCR06, yielded 6.12ppm gold, 0.10% copper and 0.15% lead. In
addition, a lead-in-soils anomaly was partially defined over the large 2010 EM anomaly
at/near the Mastodon claim boundary in the SE area of the Property.

 2012 at Columbia Queen: Signature terminated their option on the Property in November.
The Property is available for Option to Purchase.
Geology The geology of the Columbia Queen property has been mapped by Lund and Hajek (1976); Logan
et al. (1996); Logan and Rees (1997); and Payne (1999). Much of this was incorporated into a
compilation map by Logan et al. (1996a).
The Big Bend area of the Northern Selkirk Mountains, part of the eastern marginal area of the
Omineca Tectonic Belt, is situated between the fold and thrust-fault belt of the southern Canadian
Rockies on the East, and the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex in the west. The Big Bend area is
underlain by strongly deformed Neoproterozoic to Late Paleozoic metasedimentary and
metavolcanic rocks of the Kootenay Terrane which have been intruded by a number of granitic
plutons. The Shuswap Complex is separated from the rocks of the Big Bend area by the east-
dipping normal Columbia River fault zone, a major extensional fault of Eocene age.
Mineral-
ization
The British Columbia Geological Survey Branch ranks the Big Bend region among the top ten
percent in the province for metallic and industrial mineral deposit discovery potential. Significant
mineralization occurs on the Property at the Copper Queen showings (see History section above)
and on adjacent Mastodon, J&L and Thanksgiving mineral properties. See Target section above.
Potential  At the west side of the Property the stratiform Copper Queen discovery (copper, zinc and
silver) is significant and based upon recent geochemical and geophysical surveys holds the
potential to be expanded into an important copper, zinc and silver deposit.
 At the southeastern area of the Property the recent geophysical survey and lead-in-soils
survey indicates the potential for the Mastodon SEDEX deposit to extend onto the Property
(northwesterly direction) in an untested area covered with glacial till. Drilling here could
discover a significant zinc, lead, cadmium and silver deposit.
 At the northeastern area of the Property the important J&L deposit (stratiform gold, silver,
lead and zinc) and the Yellowjacket deposit (SEDEX silver, lead and zinc) owned by
Huakan International Mining Inc. are very close to the Property boundaries. There is
ample room for discovery of similar mineralization under the extensive glacial till cover.
A float sample discovered in this area on the Property in 2010 graded 6.2gpt gold, 17.3gpt
Columbia Queen Fact Sheet, February 15, 2013 4 of 11 
 
silver, 0.14% zinc, 0.10% copper and >1.0% arsenic (similar to J&L mineralization).
 At the southwest corner of the Property there may be potential for a skarn tungsten
discovery as the Thanksgiving tungsten showing lies only 1,300 meters to the south.
Recom-
mended
Explor-
ation
 Prospect the area where float CQCR06 was found and try to determine glacial ice
direction.
 The Copper Queen soils sampling grid should be extended to the north and southeast to
more clearly define anomalous metals-in-soils discovered by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. in
1976 (AR6235). Helicopter supported drilling could be conducted at the Copper Queen
showings to confirm and extend the copper, zinc and silver discovery made in 1966 by
Clearwater Mines Ltd.
 The Southeast anomaly that is adjacent to the Mastodon deposit, and is supported by the
2010 VTEM geophysics and a 2010 metal-in-soils (mainly lead) anomaly, is drill ready
and should be tested by two fences (N60dE) of three core holes angled at 240o azimuth
and 60o dip. A 2,100 meter tote road will need be developed here for access from the
nearest logging road to the north above Carnes Creek.

Columbia queen property fact sheet 20141115

  • 1. Columbia Queen Fact Sheet, February 15, 2013 1 of 11    Targets Four deposit types are present, in this highly mineralized (sulfides) terrane, on or adjacent to the Columbia Queen property: (1) metavolcanic/metasediment hosted VMS Noranda/Kuroko Style copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold deposit (Copper Queen and J&L), (2) SEDEX zinc, lead and silver deposit (Mastodon and Yellowjacket), (3) polymetallic vein silver, lead, zinc and gold deposit (J&L), and Skarn tungsten deposit (Thanksgiving). Location The Columbia Queen property is located in the Big Bend area of the northern Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, approximately 30 kilometres north of the town of Revelstoke. The region is well serviced by grid electric power, mainline/logging roads and Revelstoke with service shops for welding, electrical, machining and heavy equipment maintenance as well as a 1,460m paved runway at the airport. The property is centered at 51◦14'N latitude and 118◦12'W longitude on NTS map sheet 82M/1 in the Revelstoke Mining Division. Logging roads provide access to much of the Property. Access The resource and transportation hub city of Revelstoke (population ~7,200) is on the CPR mainline and on the Trans-Canada Highway No. 1, about 6 hours driving time (640km) east from Vancouver, British Columbia. Access from Revelstoke to the Columbia Queen property (~30km) is via the Big Bend Highway (Highway 23) north to La Forme Creek where logging roads provide access to the southwestern part of the Property and then northward on Highway 23 to the next major drainage of Carnes Creek where a network of logging roads provides access to the Property’s northern and eastern mineral claims. Land Ownership The Property consists of eleven BCMTO mineral tenures covering 4,753ha, owned by John A. Chapman (50%) and Gerald G. Carlson on behalf of KGE Management Ltd. (50%). The Columbia Queen Property is available for Option. Area History  1865: Placer gold was discovered and worked in Carnes Creek.  1896: The J&L hardrock gold showings were discovered. Continued exploration and development (extensive drilling and underground workings) on the property has resulted in a 2012 reported NI 43-101 compliant resource by the property owner Huakan International Mining Inc., as follows: J&L measured and indicated at 3,953,000 tonnes grading 5.68gpt gold, 56.5gpt silver, 1.94% lead and 3.56% zinc; J&L inferred at 4,337,000 tonnes grading 4.16gpt gold, 57.8gpt silver, 1.82% lead and 2.72% zinc; Yellowjacket indicated at 1,003,000 tonnes grading 0.21gpt gold, 64.1gpt silver, 2.77% lead and 9.08% zinc; Yellowjacket inferred at 35,000 tonnes grading 0.35gpt gold, 81.9gpt silver, 3.18% lead and 6.26% zinc. The J&L development has been challenged with refractory gold and silver in mainly arsenopyrite that indicates the probable need for pressure or bacterial leaching to break down the sulfides to release the gold and silver.  1897: The Mastodon hardrock showings were staked and since that time the property has undergone intermittent development and production, yielding 31,940 tons of ore and recovered metals as follows: 8 ounces gold, 6,113 ounces of silver, 180,334 pounds of lead, 5,911,619 pounds of zinc, and 24,716 pounds of cadmium. In 1950 W.H. White of the B.C. Ministry of Mines conducted a biogeochemical survey by sampling and analyzing twigs from spruce and hemlock trees at an near the Mastodon workings. It is interesting to note that several trees sampled near the Camp 400 meters west of the underground workings, which is in an area of glacial cover, were anomalous in zinc – this area shows up in the Columbia Queen 2010 VTEM as anomalous (conductor) and trends NW onto the Columbia Queen property. Refer to Report of the Minister of Mines, 1950. The 1976 soil geochemical program (AR6235) by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd., that straddled the present Columbia Queen/Mastodon claim boundary, indicated anomalous lead and zinc over a broad area (1,600 meters N/S x 500 meters E/W) – this is also coincident with the
  • 2. Columbia Queen Fact Sheet, February 15, 2013 2 of 11    biogeochemical anomaly (1950) and the VTEM anomaly (2010). The Mastodon property is owned by Teck Resources Limited.  Circa 1900 at the Copper Queen showing: The Mastodon zinc-lead-silver deposit, about 5.5 kilometers east of the Copper Queen prospect, was discovered in 1897, and prospectors of the time probably knew of the malachite (copper oxide) stained cliff at the Copper Queen. The first work on the Copper Queen was reported in the early 1900's, and sometime before 1965 three drill holes tested the showings, but no records of the results of this work were recorded.  1966 at Copper Queen: Clearwater Mines Ltd. reported (George Cross News Letter (GCNL) No. 14, January 20, 1966) a surface channel sample across a true width of 20 feet of exposed sulfide mineralization on the Copper Queen showings returned 1.21% copper and 1.23% zinc. Clearwater used five diamond drill holes, totaling 1,425 feet, to test the occurrence. Holes CQ-1 and CQ-2 were collared on a bench approximately 300 meters to the east of the showings, but apparently failed to reach bedrock. Holes CQ-3, CQ-4, and CQ-5 were collared at an old drill site just above the main showings and fan drilled on a N20oW section line from a single setup. All three holes had intersections of copper and zinc mineralization over significant core lengths. Hole CQ-3 (a vertical hole) was reported to be well mineralized with copper (chalcopyrite) from 112 feet to about 206 feet, but only visual estimates of grade were reported (GCNL No. 114, June 14, 1966). Hole CQ-4 contained intersections from 170 feet to 205 feet and 225 feet to 270 feet averaging 0.6% copper and 0.47% copper, respectively (GCNL No. 131, July 8, 1966). Hole CQ-5 was reported to contain a 98 feet section between 187 feet and 285 feet (true width reported to be 60 feet) with grades running between 0.45% copper and 1.14% copper (GCNL No. 137, July 18, 1966). Grid drilling, reported to be planned by Clearwater, was never undertaken.  1976 at Copper Queen: Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. held the property and conducted a program of silt and soil sampling and geological mapping which defined a northwest- southeast trending coincident copper, zinc and lead soil anomaly with a 600 meter length on the CC9 claim. The anomalous trend was open to the southeast. The Copper Queen showing was mapped as a 6 meter thick layer of calcareous metavolcanic rocks with malachite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite mineralization. Kerr Addison drilled four BQ holes totaling 775.3 meters on units 13 and 14 of the CC9 claim, but specific locations and results were not reported (Exploration in B.C. 1977, pp. E66-E67).  1999 at Copper Queen: Orphan Boy Resources Inc. acquired the Copper Queen property and Crest Geological Consultants Limited was retained to conduct an exploration program. The exploration program consisted of detailed soil and rock sampling in the same area as the 1976 Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. work on its CC9 claim. A zinc, copper and silver anomaly was confirmed in soils, and significant zinc, copper and silver was discovered in rock outcrops within the soil anomaly. Rock assays were as high as 7.34% zinc, >10.0% copper (geochemical assay limit) and >99,999ppb silver (geochemical assay limit). Based upon the 1976 and 1999 work this important metal anomaly is open to the north, northwest and southeast.  2009 at Copper Queen: John A. Chapman and Gerald G. Carlson acquired the property, expanded its size from 990 hectares to 4,753 hectares, and changed the name of this larger property to Columbia Queen. In 2010 Carlson and Chapman optioned the Property to Signature Resources Ltd. a private B.C. company. In that same year Signature commissioned Geotech Limited to fly a helicopter-borne VTEM and Magnetic survey over the entire Property with overlap onto adjoining areas. Significant electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic anomalies were defined and some follow-up prospecting including soil and rock sampling all was used to form a NI 43-101 report by Don McIntyre, Ph.D., P.Eng., in support of an IPO and listing of Signature on the TSX Venture Exchange. During the prospecting a high-grade float sample was found on the east side of the Property. This sample, number CQCR06, yielded 6.12ppm gold, 0.10% copper and 0.15% lead. In addition, a lead-in-soils anomaly was partially defined over the large 2010 EM anomaly at/near the Mastodon claim boundary in the SE area of the Property.
  • 3. Columbia Queen Fact Sheet, February 15, 2013 3 of 11     2012 at Columbia Queen: Signature terminated their option on the Property in November. The Property is available for Option to Purchase. Geology The geology of the Columbia Queen property has been mapped by Lund and Hajek (1976); Logan et al. (1996); Logan and Rees (1997); and Payne (1999). Much of this was incorporated into a compilation map by Logan et al. (1996a). The Big Bend area of the Northern Selkirk Mountains, part of the eastern marginal area of the Omineca Tectonic Belt, is situated between the fold and thrust-fault belt of the southern Canadian Rockies on the East, and the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex in the west. The Big Bend area is underlain by strongly deformed Neoproterozoic to Late Paleozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Kootenay Terrane which have been intruded by a number of granitic plutons. The Shuswap Complex is separated from the rocks of the Big Bend area by the east- dipping normal Columbia River fault zone, a major extensional fault of Eocene age. Mineral- ization The British Columbia Geological Survey Branch ranks the Big Bend region among the top ten percent in the province for metallic and industrial mineral deposit discovery potential. Significant mineralization occurs on the Property at the Copper Queen showings (see History section above) and on adjacent Mastodon, J&L and Thanksgiving mineral properties. See Target section above. Potential  At the west side of the Property the stratiform Copper Queen discovery (copper, zinc and silver) is significant and based upon recent geochemical and geophysical surveys holds the potential to be expanded into an important copper, zinc and silver deposit.  At the southeastern area of the Property the recent geophysical survey and lead-in-soils survey indicates the potential for the Mastodon SEDEX deposit to extend onto the Property (northwesterly direction) in an untested area covered with glacial till. Drilling here could discover a significant zinc, lead, cadmium and silver deposit.  At the northeastern area of the Property the important J&L deposit (stratiform gold, silver, lead and zinc) and the Yellowjacket deposit (SEDEX silver, lead and zinc) owned by Huakan International Mining Inc. are very close to the Property boundaries. There is ample room for discovery of similar mineralization under the extensive glacial till cover. A float sample discovered in this area on the Property in 2010 graded 6.2gpt gold, 17.3gpt
  • 4. Columbia Queen Fact Sheet, February 15, 2013 4 of 11    silver, 0.14% zinc, 0.10% copper and >1.0% arsenic (similar to J&L mineralization).  At the southwest corner of the Property there may be potential for a skarn tungsten discovery as the Thanksgiving tungsten showing lies only 1,300 meters to the south. Recom- mended Explor- ation  Prospect the area where float CQCR06 was found and try to determine glacial ice direction.  The Copper Queen soils sampling grid should be extended to the north and southeast to more clearly define anomalous metals-in-soils discovered by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. in 1976 (AR6235). Helicopter supported drilling could be conducted at the Copper Queen showings to confirm and extend the copper, zinc and silver discovery made in 1966 by Clearwater Mines Ltd.  The Southeast anomaly that is adjacent to the Mastodon deposit, and is supported by the 2010 VTEM geophysics and a 2010 metal-in-soils (mainly lead) anomaly, is drill ready and should be tested by two fences (N60dE) of three core holes angled at 240o azimuth and 60o dip. A 2,100 meter tote road will need be developed here for access from the nearest logging road to the north above Carnes Creek. Status The Columbia Queen property is available for option.
