L 'The ME mineral c la ims are loca ted no r th of Shuswap Lake,
near the upper end o f Hudson Creek on the southwest s ide o f Angle
Mountain. The moderately steep and we l l fo res ted area i s p a r t o f
t he Shuswap Highland Forest. The area i s covered by a good growth
n f Black Spruce up t o a diameter o f 0 . 5 metres.
Access i s by t h e Ross Creek Fores t ry Development Road which
runs i n t o Fraser Road and, i n tu rn , j o i n s the main Shuswap Lake Road
about two k i lomet res east o f Hnglemont, B. C. Logging spur roads
prov ide road access t o w i t h i n 15 metres o f the common l e g a l post f o r

The ME Group cons is t s o f t he MB1, MBZ, and MB3 mineral 'L

a r e s u l t o f s t r i p p i n g conducted t o extend a logging spur road. I n
August, 1982, a p re l im ina r y so i 1 sampling survey was conducted along
a g r i d spaced a t 200 metre i n t e r v a l s cover ing t he wester ly po r t i ons

The magnetometer survey was conducted w i t h a Sc in t rex Proton
Precession Magnetometer Model MP-2 which reads d i r e c t l y t o one
gamma. The instrument reads t h e t o t a l i n t e n s i t y of t he earlzh's
magnetic f i e l d . The approximate f i e l d s t rength i n t h i s area is
approximate1.y 58,000 gammas. A magnetic basel, i n e was es tab l ished
sing mu1 t . i p l e t ime dependent readings. These base s t a t i o n s were

occupied a t i n t e r v a l s no t exceeding two haurs throughout t h e day. 'L.
Diurnal co r rec t i ans were thus app l ied t o t he magnetometer readings
