The Eskay Creek/Stewart Region has produced 15 million ounces of gold, 270 million ounces of silver, 4 billion pounds of copper and 782 million pounds of Molybdenum to date. Stewart North The Stewart North prospect is over 13,000 contiguous acres in the vicinity of Decade Resources (DEC-TSX.V) flagship "Redcliff and Montrose" prospects in northwestern British Columbia. The property lies just north of the town of Stewart, B.C. and is accessible by road approximately 1.5 kilometers from paved highway 37A and is underlain by lithologies of the middle Jurassic Hazelton Group. These rocks host significant precious and base metal deposits in the Stewart Camp including the Silbak Premier, Silver Coin, Sulphurets, Red Mountain and Eskay Creek deposits. In the spring of 2009 Decade Resources Ltd. commenced surface exploration on the nearby Red Cliff property and received necessary government permits to commence drilling on the property. Recent drilling was completed in the fall of 2009 and intercepted grades as high as 24.7 metres of 20.87g/ton Gold. Stewart South The Stewart South Gold prospect is over 22,000 contiguous acres adjoining Canasia Industries Corp. (CAJ-TSX.V) CLONE GOLD discovery that returned Bulk Samples as high as 152.34 g/ton Gold and drill results of 12.8metres of 44.75 g/t Gold. The property is located in the prodigious Eskay Creek/Stewart Region of NW British Columbia and is approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) SE of the town of Stewart B.C. and the Canadian-Alaskan border. The Eskay Creek/Stewart Region is 160 km by 50 km (99 miles by 31 miles) and to date has produced 15 million ounces of gold, 270 million ounces of silver, 4 billion pounds of copper and 782 million pounds of Molybdenum. At current market value the region has thus far produced over 46 billion dollars in precious minerals. Recent mass staking in the area is part of a regional effort aimed at exploring virgin ground made newly viable by receding glaciers. The process of glacial melt, known as ablation, has progressed at a striking rate over the course of the last decades. As far as mineral exploration is concerned such environmental change greatly increases the ease at which previously difficult or unreachable ground is made available. |
