Paris - Loyal Project

This property is situated on the extreme northern end of Texada Island, extending across its entire width. The primary exploration target is the occurrence of gold-copper skarn mineralization in limestone associated with both the adjacent volcanic and dioritic intrusives.
Two underground mines, the Paris and Loyal, operated for short periods at the turn of the century. Two surface grab samples from the "Paris Trench" in 1989 assayed 0.41 and 0.38 oz./ton (14.1 g/t and 13.0 g/t) gold. Diamond drilling on the Paris zone by Echo Bay in 1989 intersected several zones of interest including a 5 foot (1.55 meter) interval assaying 0.83 oz./ton (28.5 g/t) gold and 10 foot (3.1 meter) interval assaying 0.23 oz./ton (7.9 g/t) gold.
