White Eagle - Industrial Marble Property
..






Name Of Mineral : Industrial white marble and dolomite
Location: B.C. Canada
Estimated Quantity: " Multi - Million Tonne Potential"

INTRODUCTION : The White Eagle industrial mineral property was located by its current owner, Craig Lynes of Rich River Exploration Ltd.

The claims cover a substantial deposit of white industrial marble.

LOCATION AND ACCESS : The White Eagle claims are located on map sheet 82L/15W in the Revelstoke Mining Division, British Columbia Canada.




The claims are situated in a logged area of low to moderate relief on the south slope of Queest mountain at 4,025 feet asl.

Access from the Trans Canada Highway and the main branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway Line is gained via the Queest Forest Service Road for 14.8 Km. then 7.5 km. on another logging road, a further 3.8 km. access road leads to the claimed area.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY :The White Eagle is underlain by rocks of the Eagle Bay assemblage consisting of mostly unit *Em. This Unit is a distinctive, clean, white to light grey marble than ranges from 0 to 200 metres in structural thickness.

It is inferred to be correlative with the Lower Cambrian Tshinakin Marble, the Badshot Formation and the Bralco Marble Unit. Unit *Em forms a traceable layer that exceeds
10 km. in length and up to 1 km. in width within the claim area.


Geology Adjacent to the western margin of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex ( Open File 1990-30 ) Geology by Bradford J. Johnson PROPERTY The 480 acres, White Eagle claims are centred on substantial outcroppings of white marble. Large exposures of white crystalline limestone occurs as bluffs and ridges in several places, along the entire 1 km. width and 2 km. strike length of the property. Several trenches, road cuts and excavations have been made during logging and by previous work programs.

CONCLUSIONS:
Field observations indicate that the White Eagle group meets several important necessary factors needed, to host an economic deposit of Industrial minerals ie, commodity, tonnage potential, road access, low to moderate topographical relief, cellular phone coverage, close proximity to major transportation routes, and the local availability of industrial areas for the construction of production plant facilities, power, water etc.

The claims are located in an area of clear cut logging that has provided good road access. The nearest community of Malakwa B.C., approximately 9 km. southeast by road, is primarily a resource-based town, with the forest and lumber milling industries being the primary employers.


RECOMMENDATIONS : It is possible that several uses can be found for the very large amount of crystalline limestone on this property including: filler and coating applications as P.C.C. and G.C.C., stucco, agricultural and industrial purposes, landscape rock and dimension stone. Due to the very large amount of varied exposures of marble on this property, an extensive program of sampling, geological mapping, trenching, road repair and drilling is recommended to properly evaluate this property.
