Ever since the Fraser River Gold Rush of 1858, British Columbia has
had a distinguished history of mineral discoveries. While the Fraser
stampede of 30,000 miners was short-lived, it played an important
role in British Columbia becoming a colony of the British Empire
and, eventually a province in 1871.
    Other rushes followed such as the Similkameen, Cariboo, Cassiar
and Atlin gold rushes. This influx of placer gold miners eventually
resulted in hard rock mineral exploration, and coupled with the old
Vancouver Stock Exchange, established in 1906 to assist mineral
explorers, the coastal city of Vancouver became the junior explora-
tion capital of the world.
    Continued exploration in BC resulted in the discovery of major
mineral deposits, some of which still have mines in production, such
as the Teck Resources Highland Valley Copper Mine and Thompson
Creek’s Endako Molybdenum Mine. Meanwhile, a number of proj-
ects are in advanced stages such as the Copper Mountain Mine near
Princeton that is being brought back to life. Other projects likely to
be developed into mines include Galore Creek, Red Chris and Avanti
Mining’s Kisault Molybdenum Project.
    Essentially, British Columbia has a variety of favourable
geological environments, potentially hosting deposits of gold,
silver, copper, zinc, lead, molybdenum, coal and sometimes several
valuable metals combined in polymetallic deposits. The building
of mines to extract these deposits has resulted in BC’s mining
industry contributing substantial revenues to the province.

5        Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. [BGM-TSXV]	 recently	 began	
           underground	 gold	 mining	 operations	 in	 the	 West	 Zone	 at	
its	 QR	 Mine	 south-east	 of	 Quesnel,	 central	 BC.	 The	 company’s	 900	
tonne-per-day	 mill	 is	 located	 immediately	 above	 the	 QR	 Mine.	 It	 is	
the	company’s	objective	to	achieve	50,000	ounces	of	gold	production	
from	the	QR	Mine	and	its	Bonanza	Ledge	open	pit	mine	near	Wells/
Barkerville	east	of	Quesnel,	BC.	Barkerville	Gold	Mines	owns	the	min-
eral	rights	covering	1,065	square	kilometres	in	the	historic	Barkerville	
Gold	Camp	which	has	recorded	gold	production	of	3.8	million	ounces,	
including	 an	 estimated	 2.64	 million	 ounces	 from	 placer	 mining	 and	
1.23	 million	 ounces	 from	 lode	 mining.	 Planning	 is	 under	 way	 for	 a	
development	drilling	program	at	the	North	Zone	at	the	QR	Mine.	



  6       Paget Minerals Corp. [TSXV-PGS]	signed	a	joint	venture	agree-
          ment	with Richfield Ventures Corp. [TSXV-RVC]	to	explore	the	
Nechako	Basin	in	central	BC.	Numerous	historic	gold	showings	on	the	
74,000	hectares,	held	100%	by	Paget	and	Richfield,	provide	immediate	
targets	for	field	assessment	with	a	view	to	rapidly	advance	to	drill	stage	
for	the	2010	exploration	program.	Each	company	contributed	$500,000	
to	the	joint	venture	for	the	initial	2010	field	season	with	a	minimum	of	
2,000–2,500	metres	of	drilling	planned.	Paget	also	holds	claim	blocks	
(100%	 owned)	 throughout	 central	 and	 northern	 BC,	 including	 the	   	
Mt.	Dunn,	Whitesail,	JLN/Chist	Creek	precious	and	base	metal	proper-
ties;	the	Mt.	Bisson	rare	earth	property;	and	the	Lac	Doda	gold	project	
in	the	Abitibi	Belt	of	western	Québec.	


  7       Christopher James Gold Corp.	[CJG-TSXV]	has	a	large	portfolio	
          of	prospective	gold	projects	in	British	Columbia	and	Nevada.	
The	 company	 has	 carried	 out	 exploration	 programs	 on	 its	 Big	 Kidd,	
Craigmont,	Brassie	Creek,	and	Little	Fort	Projects,	all	in	southern	BC.	In	
Nevada,	the	company	has	six	joint	venture	properties	and	has	signed	
a	LOI	with	Chesapeake	Gold	Corp.	to	acquire	100%	of	the	Talapoosa	
epithermal	gold	project	in	Nevada.	CJGC	will	also	acquire	the	La	Cecilia	
property	in	Sonora,	Mexico	as	part	of	the	deal	with	Chesapeake	Gold	
Corp.	The	company’s	shares	are	halted	until	a	pending	the	completion	
of	the	transaction,	the	deadline	for	which	is	April	30,	2010.	




  8        Anglo-Swiss Resources Inc.	 [ASW-TSXV;	 ASWRF-OTCBB;	
           AMO-Berlin]	 has	 been	 actively	 exploring	 the	 150	 square	 kilo-
metre	 Nelson	 Mining	 Camp	 in	 southeast	 British	 Columbia,	 which	
includes	 its	 formerly	 producing	 Kenville	 Gold	 Mine.	 The	 property	 has	
never	been	subjected	to	large-scale	systematic	exploration	using	mod-
ern	 techniques.	 The	 2010	 exploration	 program	 is	 expected	 to	 exceed	
$3,000,000.	Its	geotechnical	team	has	reviewed	results	of	an	initial	air-
borne	geophysical	survey	and	identified	two	large	anomalies	within	the	
camp.	A	new	MAG/EM	geophysical	airborne	survey	will	cover	the	entire	
property	group	and	assist	in	identifying	potential	mineralized	bodies	and	
in	delineating	the	extent	of	the	known	mineralized	systems.	Anglo	Swiss	
has	selected	the	first	six	surface	drill	sites	for	their	proximity	within	the	
two	anomalies	identified	by	the	earlier	survey.	Drilling	began	early	May.

BC's rich mining history and future potential

  • 1. British ColumBia Ever since the Fraser River Gold Rush of 1858, British Columbia has had a distinguished history of mineral discoveries. While the Fraser stampede of 30,000 miners was short-lived, it played an important role in British Columbia becoming a colony of the British Empire and, eventually a province in 1871. Other rushes followed such as the Similkameen, Cariboo, Cassiar and Atlin gold rushes. This influx of placer gold miners eventually resulted in hard rock mineral exploration, and coupled with the old Vancouver Stock Exchange, established in 1906 to assist mineral explorers, the coastal city of Vancouver became the junior explora- tion capital of the world. Continued exploration in BC resulted in the discovery of major mineral deposits, some of which still have mines in production, such as the Teck Resources Highland Valley Copper Mine and Thompson Creek’s Endako Molybdenum Mine. Meanwhile, a number of proj- ects are in advanced stages such as the Copper Mountain Mine near Princeton that is being brought back to life. Other projects likely to be developed into mines include Galore Creek, Red Chris and Avanti Mining’s Kisault Molybdenum Project. Essentially, British Columbia has a variety of favourable geological environments, potentially hosting deposits of gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, molybdenum, coal and sometimes several valuable metals combined in polymetallic deposits. The building of mines to extract these deposits has resulted in BC’s mining industry contributing substantial revenues to the province. SPECIAL PULL-OUT SUPPLEMENT

  • 3. 1 Anglo-Canadian Uranium Corp. [URA-TSXV; AU3-Frankfurt] is explor- ing mineral properties in British Columbia, Québec, and the US. In British Columbia, its flagship property is the Princeton Copper Project, located near the town of Princeton, southwest BC. URA recently completed a Phase I exploration program at the prospect, favourably situated 1,500 metres south- southeast of the Copper Mountain Mining Pit #3, where it is currently building a 35,000 tonne-per-day mine and mill scheduled for production in June 2011. Anglo-Canadian’s exploration comprised establishing a baseline, hand trench- ing at six mineralized showings as well as road improvements. Chip and grab samples graded up to 2.71% copper, 1.145 grams gold/tonne, 7.7 grams silver/ tonne and 77 ppm molybdenum. Phase II work will define trenching and drill- ing targets. URA is also exploring its Stirrup gold prospect near Clinton, BC. 2 Commerce Resources Corp. [CCE-TSXV; Frankfurt D7H-FSE] spe- cializes in the exploration and development of rare metals and rare earths. Its most advanced project is the Blue River property north of Kamloops, southern British Columbia. The Upper Fir tantalum and niobium deposit at the Blue River Project hosts indicated resources of 7,384,000 tonnes grading 217 grams Ta2O5 (tantalum) and 1,202 grams Nb2O5 (niobium). This represents 3,533,000 pounds of tantalum and 19,568,000 pounds of niobium. Commerce is exploring the earlier stage Carbo claims northeast of Prince George, BC. During 2006-2007, the company conducted rock and soil sampling, and geo- physical surveys. Results showed highly anomalous concentrations of niobium and rare earth elements. In 2009, Commerce farmed out a 75% interest in the Carbo claims to Canadian International Minerals. 3 Grizzly Discoveries Inc. [GZD-TSXV] is focused on exploring gold and base metal prospects in British Columbia as well as diamonds and industrial minerals in Alberta. The company has five precious metal projects in BC encompassing over 175,000 acres. A $500,000 exploration program has just begun on the Greenwood Gold Project in south-central BC. The work includes approximately 1,200 metres of diamond drilling at two tar- get areas – the Sappho and Copper Mountain zones. Sampling at the Copper Mountain Zone has returned assays ranging from 9.41 to 99.6 grams gold/ tonne and up to 19.7 grams silver/tonne with base metal credits. Sampling the Sappho Zone returned up to 27.1 grams platinum/tonne, 1.49 grams palladium/tonne, 75.3 grams silver/tonne, 0.64 grams gold/tonne and Brian Testo, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director 8.28% copper. 4 Avanti Mining Inc. [AVT-TSXV] is advancing its core asset, the formerly producing Kisault Molybdenum Project in northwest Coastal BC. Located 140 kilometres north of Prince Rupert, the project has a NI 43-101 compliant prefeasibilty study completed by independent consultant Wardrop Engineering. Proven and probable reserves stand at 215.3 million tonnes grading 0.085% Mo. Mine life would be 15 years, producing 24.5 million pounds per year of molybdenum. The project has power-grid utility as well as ocean and road access. Cash operating costs are estimated to be $4.43 per pound of Mo. Avanti recently engaged AMEC to prepare a feasibility study for the Kisault Mine, which will advance the project to the financing and construction decision stage. The study should be completed by Craig J. Nelsen, President, CEO, and Director October 2010.
  • 4. 5 Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. [BGM-TSXV] recently began underground gold mining operations in the West Zone at its QR Mine south-east of Quesnel, central BC. The company’s 900 tonne-per-day mill is located immediately above the QR Mine. It is the company’s objective to achieve 50,000 ounces of gold production from the QR Mine and its Bonanza Ledge open pit mine near Wells/ Barkerville east of Quesnel, BC. Barkerville Gold Mines owns the min- eral rights covering 1,065 square kilometres in the historic Barkerville Gold Camp which has recorded gold production of 3.8 million ounces, including an estimated 2.64 million ounces from placer mining and 1.23 million ounces from lode mining. Planning is under way for a development drilling program at the North Zone at the QR Mine. 6 Paget Minerals Corp. [TSXV-PGS] signed a joint venture agree- ment with Richfield Ventures Corp. [TSXV-RVC] to explore the Nechako Basin in central BC. Numerous historic gold showings on the 74,000 hectares, held 100% by Paget and Richfield, provide immediate targets for field assessment with a view to rapidly advance to drill stage for the 2010 exploration program. Each company contributed $500,000 to the joint venture for the initial 2010 field season with a minimum of 2,000–2,500 metres of drilling planned. Paget also holds claim blocks (100% owned) throughout central and northern BC, including the Mt. Dunn, Whitesail, JLN/Chist Creek precious and base metal proper- ties; the Mt. Bisson rare earth property; and the Lac Doda gold project in the Abitibi Belt of western Québec. 7 Christopher James Gold Corp. [CJG-TSXV] has a large portfolio of prospective gold projects in British Columbia and Nevada. The company has carried out exploration programs on its Big Kidd, Craigmont, Brassie Creek, and Little Fort Projects, all in southern BC. In Nevada, the company has six joint venture properties and has signed a LOI with Chesapeake Gold Corp. to acquire 100% of the Talapoosa epithermal gold project in Nevada. CJGC will also acquire the La Cecilia property in Sonora, Mexico as part of the deal with Chesapeake Gold Corp. The company’s shares are halted until a pending the completion of the transaction, the deadline for which is April 30, 2010. 8 Anglo-Swiss Resources Inc. [ASW-TSXV; ASWRF-OTCBB; AMO-Berlin] has been actively exploring the 150 square kilo- metre Nelson Mining Camp in southeast British Columbia, which includes its formerly producing Kenville Gold Mine. The property has never been subjected to large-scale systematic exploration using mod- ern techniques. The 2010 exploration program is expected to exceed $3,000,000. Its geotechnical team has reviewed results of an initial air- borne geophysical survey and identified two large anomalies within the camp. A new MAG/EM geophysical airborne survey will cover the entire property group and assist in identifying potential mineralized bodies and in delineating the extent of the known mineralized systems. Anglo Swiss has selected the first six surface drill sites for their proximity within the two anomalies identified by the earlier survey. Drilling began early May.
