The Tillex project is host to the Tillex copper deposit which was originally discovered in 1973 by Westmin Resources Ltd. A historic non 43-101 compliant near surface resource of 1,338,000 tonnes grading 1.56% Copper (Cu) was calculated in 1990 by Pacifica Resources Ltd (Source; Pacifica Resources Ltd., 2005-6 Canadian Mines Handbook, page 318). Mineralization is primarily as chalcopyrite with minor bornite and accessory lead, zinc and silver. However, management notes this calculation does not meet the standards as outlined in National Instrument 43-101, "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects", and has not been independently validated or verified by the Corporation and should not be relied upon.
