The i n t e n t o f t h i s repor t i s to present the r e s u l t s of a s i x - h o l e Becker hammer d r i l l i n g program on the Tina c l a i m o f the T i n a Group o f p l a c e r c l a i m s , on Middle and Upper O t t e r C r e e k o f A t l i n M i n i n g D i v i s i o n , i n N o r t h w e s t e r n B r i t i s h C o l u m b i a .

The T i n a p l a c e r c l a i m g r o u p i s owned by K . A . O'Connor of West Vancouver.
The d r i l l i n g p r o g r a m began on September 10, 1983 and was t e r m i n a t e d on Sep tember 1 6 , a f te r 622.5 feet of hole were pu t down a t s i x s epa ra t e d r i l l s t a t i ons i n the creek v a l l e y . T h e r e were no abandoned h o l e s and a l l o f the footage d r i l l e d was e f f e c t i v e footage.
The T i n a d r i l l p r o g r a m was pa id for by K . A . O'Connor bu t was , i n e f f e c t , the upstream t e s t i n g of the Otter Creek T e r t i a r y c h a n n e l t ha t had been d r i l l e d , by the w r i t e r , for a n o t h e r c l i e n t , on what i s c a l l e d the Dan Group of p lace r c l a i m s . Some of the data from that program has been used i n t he i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of channel l o c a t i o n , as descr ibed below, and a l s o the c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of the stream g r a v e l s , as shown i n b o t h d r i l l p r o g r a m s , was used i n t h i s assessment of reserves and p o t e n t i a l of the Tina group.
In what f o l l o w s , an assessment of the bedrock minera l p o t e n t i a l o f t h e c l a i m g r o u p w i l l be o f f e r e d . The main t h r u s t of the repor t concerns p lacer p o t e n t i a l of the group, bu t because of some unusual d r i l l i n g r e s u l t s i n some ho le s , t h e p o s s i b i l i t y of bedrock e x p l o r a t i o n , on c e r t a i n sec t ions of the creek, w i l l be b r i e f l y d i scussed .

1. Mos t o f t he p r o d u c t i v e creeks have been under la in by r o c k s o f t h e " Gold S e r i e s " . These creeks are under la in by r o c k s o f t h e Cache Creek Group of Pennsylvanian age. They have been i n t r u d e d by, u s u a l l y s e r p e n t i n i z e d , s i l l s , dikes and i r r e g u l a r plugs of u l t r a b a s i c compos i t ion .
2 .

3 . I f one i s j u s t i f i e d i n g e n e r a l i z i n g from experience at O t t e r C r e e k , t h e n g o l d p l a c e r s a t A t l i n a r e found i n U - s h a p e d b e d r o c k c h a n n e l s p r o d u c e d by renewed vigorous u p l i f t a t t h e end of a l o n g p e r i o d o f g e n t l e u p l i f t — p o s s i b l y at the end of the T e r t i a r y .
4 . These c h a n n e l s a r e u s u a l l y n a r r o w and may conta in s e v e r a l l a y e r s or h o r i z o n s o f c o b b l e - b o u l d e r g r a v e l s c o n t a i n i n g u n u s u a l l y h i g h amounts of coarse raw g o l d . In a d d i t i o n t o the h i g h e r h o r i z o n s there i s almost always a v e r y r i c h b e d r o c k l a y e r . The r imrock , where weathered, as w e l l as the bedrock i n the channel bottom, may often conta in h i g h amounts of go ld i n the f rac tures and s c h i s t or bedding f o l i a t i o n p l a n e s . The channels may be as wide as 200' at t h e b o t t o m , at l e a s t i n the lower reaches of a creek, to an a v e r a g e o f a b o u t 1 0 0 ' . The depth of the channel , which i n places can be g o r g e - l i k e , i s seldom over 80 fee t .
5 . C l a y e y t i l l s t r a t a o v e r l y i n g the product ive horizons u s u a l l y c o n t a i n n o n - c o m m e r c i a l amounts o f f i n e g o l d .
T i n a : O ' C o n n o r : D e c . 23, 1983: MDK: - 3 -
6 . F i n a l l y , the g l a c i a l episodes of the l a t e Cenozoic have b u r i e d or m o d i f i e d the c h a n n e l s , mainly by depos i t ion of t h i c k s e q u e n c e s of e i the r f l u v i a t i l e sediments or unsorted t i l l . In some c a s e s , i t i s pos s ib l e that g l a c i a l scouring has removed o l d p l a c e r s from the channels . Some g l a c i a l d e p o s i t s o v e r l y i n g the r i c h o l d channels have been measured to be i n excess of 300 f ee t . In most places barren g l a c i a l ma te r i a l has seldom exceeded 100 feet above the channels .
7 . G o l d f i n e n e s s f o r A t l i n p l a c e r s averages about 800. C o a r s e g o l d and l a r g e nuggets are c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of A t l i n p l a c e r c r e e k s , i n d i c a t i n g , o f c o u r s e , s h o r t t r a n s p o r t d i s tance from primary sources .
8 . I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the f o l l o w i n g p lacer g e o l o g y p r i n c i p l e f o r A t l i n camp, but workers in the camp f o r the e a r l i e s t p r o d u c t i v e p e r i o d s have b e l i e v e d that m i d d l e and upper p a r t s o f creeks tended to be r i c h e r than lower s e c t i o n s .
DRILLING METHOD
The t r u c k - m o u n t e d B e c k e r hammer d r i l l of 6 5/8" pipe c a p a c i t y was used for d r i l l i n g the t e s t h o l e s . Please see A p p e n d i x C for d e s c r i p t i o n of the Becker method of d r i l l i n g and d e s c r i p t i o n of the truck-mounted d r i l l . In a d d i t i o n to t h e c o m p r e s s o r mounted on the d r i l l t ruck we used an a u x i l i a r y or b o o s t e r c o m p r e s s o r o f 750 cfm c a p a c i t y . This c o m p r e s s o r was mounted on a t r u c k . A t h i r d t ruck was used f o r p i p e and w a t e r t a n k t r anspo r t a t i on and pipe h a n d l i n g . My e x p e r i e n c e wi th the d r i l l i n g of about 5,000 feet of hole i n s i m i l a r m a t e r i a l on Dan Group had been most f avo rab l e .
B e l o w a r e some o f the advantages of the Becker hammer d r i l l system:
1. R a p i d d r i l l advance i s inheren t i n the system. The w r i t e r has d r i l l e d as much as 400 f ee t i n one s h i f t , i n v e r y f a v o r a b l e format ions . Our average ra te of advance per s h i f t d u r i n g Phase I d r i l l i n g a t Dan Group was about 70 f e e t . A v e r a g e ra te of advance was about 100 feet per s h i f t for the Tina D r i l l i n g P r o j e c t .
2 . The s y s t e m i s r u g g e d and there was very l i t t l e downt i m e d u r i n g t h e d r i l l p r o g r a m b e c a u s e o f m e c h a n i c a l f a i l u r e s .
3 . The d r i l l a d v a n c e s the "cas ing" i n step wi th the b i t a d v a n c e so that the p i t f a l l s i n v a l u i n g p lacer deposi t s wi th
T i n a : O ' C o n n o r : D e c . 23, 1983: MDK: - 4 -
uncased h o l e s a re a v o i d e d . Also the b i t advance is never-ahead of " c a s i n g " —except in s p e c i a l cases when percussion d r i l l i n g i s used ins ide the inner p i p e . The outer pipe i s , of course, the " c a s i n g " .
4 . The re i s no chemical contamination of the sample from d r i l l i n g a d d i t i v e s . Only a i r and water touch the sample.
5 . The e f f e c t i v e s i z e of the d r i l l p ipe i s greater than 5 and a h a l f i nches , when using a ' c r o w d - i n ' b i t . This gives a v a l i d sampling volume or weight for g rave l penet ra ted .
6 . My e x p e r i e n c e w i t h t he d r i l l i s that i t undoubtedly l i f t s coarse gold p a r t i c l e s , i n f a c t , almost 2 grams of gold m a i n l y as smal l nuggets, for a s i x foot sample were a c t u a l l y l i f t e d during t h i s Tina p ro jec t (hole S083-53).
7. F i n a l l y , p r o v i d e d t h e r e i s a geo log i s t at the d r i l l d u r i n g the d r i l l i n g o p e r a t i o n , i t i s pos s ib l e to prepare l o g s from which va luab le g rave l s ec t ion i n t e r p r e t i o n s can be made.
The samples from the d r i l l hole were c o l l e c t e d i n la rge r u b b e r t u b s b e l o w the cyclone and bagged every two feet of d r i l l a d v a n c e . The s a m p l e s were ' a i r - f l u s h e d ' every two f e e t and w a t e r - f l u s h e d a t t h e h o l e bottom.

The upper h o r i z o n w i l l be c a l l e d the "B" h o r i z o n . I t i s about 30 feet t h i c k and about 30 to 60 feet below the surface of the creek v a l l e y . The second horizon i s at bedrock, or jus t above i t , i n w e a t h e r e d bedrock and g r a v e l . This hor izon i s cons ide r ed to be about 12 feet t h i ck and i s made up of about 6 feet o f pay g r a v e l and 6 feet of weathered bedrock. Wi th in the b e d r o c k c h a n n e l o f presumed T e r t i a r y o r i g i n - - d u e to u p l i f t a t t he end o f the T e r t i a r y - - t h e r e i s a l a y e r of mostly b a r r e n " w a t e r s a n d " . The bedrock pay hor izon occurs jus t below t h i s "water sand" layer or s t r a t a .
T h i s c o a r s e "wa te r s a n d " l a y e r - - s o named by the d r i 1 l e r s - - c o n s i s t s o f a h e a v i l y w a t e r cha rged layer of c o a r s e sand of v a r i a b l e t h i c k n e s s . I t v a r i e s from about 10 to 20 feet t h i c k . Occas iona l ly there are two layers of t h i s "water sand".
The p r e s e n c e o f t h i s "water sand" l aye r i s d i a g n o s t i c of t he p r e s e n c e o f the U-shaped bedrock T e r t i a r y channel . T h i s i s so b e c a u s e wate r seepage i n t o the channel cannot e s c a p e and must go downstream above the impervious bedrock or t he somewhate c l a y e y l a y e r jus t above bedrock. Water f l o w d u r i n g p e n e t r a t i o n of the "water sand" was very high and r e s u l t e d i n v e r y heavy two foot samples. A i r pressure i n the p i p e s f o r c e d up abou t t r i p l e the amount of normal d r i l l r e tu rn m a t e r i a l .
The g e o l o g i c a l r e l a t i o n s found abGve on Tina c l a i m were c o n s i s t e n t w i t h r e l a t i o n s found d o w n s t r e a m on the Rose c l a i m o f Dan G r o u p . More study w i l l be needed to detemine the g e o l o g i c a l r e l a t i o n s h i p of the " B " hor izon wi th other g r a v e l s of the creek c r o s s - s e c t i o n . I suspect that there i s a r e l a t i o n between the "B" hor izon and a c layey s i l t y brown l aye r w i t h i n or jus t below the "B" hor izon .
T h e r e may be a t h i r d layer of pay i n the t i l l above the c r e e k v a l l e y . T h i s weak p o s s i b i l i t y may be i nd i ca t ed by some v a l u e s found in the t i l l i n the D o r f l i n g e r shaft high up in that o l d opening.
L i n e s 1 and 2 were r e a l l y not t e s t s o f the whole c h a n n e l a t a l l . And so a grade average based, i n any way, on a v e r a g i n g the d r i l l r e s u l t s for the two horizons on the three l i n e s cannot be v a l i d .

In t h i s respect i t i s important to no te some comments by A . F . D a i l l y in h is 1946 report on page 19 ( 7) . "Coarse go ld i s a c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of the pay g rave l s of t h i s v i c i n i t y and i s a l s o n o r m a l l y present i n p lacer d e p o s i t s c o n t a i n i n g a l a r g e percentage of boulders as at O t t e r C r e e k . Experience in a number of places where coarse g o l d was p r e s e n t has demonstrated that t rue average values a r e not d e t e r m i n e d by d r i l l i n g and t h a t such ground i s t h e r e f o r e g r o s s l y under-va lued .

Today s h a f t s or c a i s s o n s are not p r a c t i c a l methods of e x p l o r a t i o n at Tina group.

I t i s a l w a y s dangerous to a s s i g n g r a d e to c o a r s e g o l d deposi ts before a bulk mining t e s t . Of c o u r s e , the problem i s that bulk t e s t i n g requi res a l m o i t as much c o s t l y p r e p a r a t i o n work and equipment as a f u l l s c a l e mining o p e r a t i o n . One way out of the dilemma may be to use 9" Becker d r i l l h o l e s . Or , i f p o s s i b l e , to design an i n t e r m e d i a t e s i z e p i p e ( s ay 7 1/2") and d r i l l longer d r i l l l i n e ' s and deeper holes at c l o s e r i n t e r v a l s . Another s o l u t i o n could be to s imply consider a bulk mining t e s t as a form o f d e v e l o p m e n t a n d / o r e x p l o r a t i o n expense. From the tax point of view t h i s approach may have some advantages.
N e v e r t h e l e s s , we are not at a t o t a l impasse i n a s s i g n ment o f g r a d e to the two horizons of the o l d bedrock chann e l . Some o f the h o l e s returned remarkably good grade i n the two h o r i z o n s . Other holes returned much lower grade, i n f a c t , b e l o w c o m m e r c i a l g r a d e i n the two h o r i z o n s . In my o p i n i o n , i t w o u l d be as g r i e v o u s an er ror to d ismiss the p o t e n t i a l o f the c r e e k b e c a u s e of t h i s , as to ass ign too o p t i m i s t i c a g r a d e to the p l a c e r d e p o s i t s o f the o l d c h a n n e l . Somewhere i n b e t w e e n , and keeping i n mind the D a i l l y p r i n c i p l e c i t e d above, i s the proper approach.

As mentioned above the d r i l l i n g r e s u l t s do warrant some c o n s i d e r a t i o n o f t he b e d r o c k p o t e n t i a l of the p roper ty .

The t r e n d of the ancient channel w i l l more than l i k e l y p a r a l l e l t h e present Ot ter Creek. However, i t may, for some s e c t i o n s o f t he c r e e k , d ive rge from i t . D r i l l i n g w i l l be e s s e n t i a l for l o c a t i n g t h i s channe l . In t h i s respec t , i t i s no t c l e a r why the c o s t l y D o r f l i n g e r shaft (please see F igure 5) was l o c a t e d where put down i n the l a t e 1930 ' s . I t does seem c l e a r from d r i l l r e s u l t s and p ro j ec t ions upstream from o t h e r d r i l l l i n e s that the shaft i s , at l e a s t , 400 feet from the c h a n n e l . I n f a c t , the shaft was probably intended to s e r v e as a s i t e from w h i c h d r i f t s would be put westward t o w a r d s t h e c h a n n e l . I t i s known t h a t t he s h a f t was e v e n t u a l l y l o s t due to excess ive water flow which could not be a d e q u a t e l y c o n t r o l l e d . I t was bottomed at about 100 f e e t . A s h o r t d r i l l h o l e was pu t down at shaft bottom. T h i s found b e d r o c k at a t o t a l depth of 127' below su r face . One h o l e of about 100 feet i n depth, put down about 400 feet t o t he w e s t , found bedrock but s i g n i f i c a n t go ld values were no t e n c o u n t e r e d i n the d r i l l h o l e . The shaft and the d r i l l h o l e s c o n s t i t u t e d D r i l l l i n e #2. Please see Figures 4 and 5 . V a l u e s i n the s h a f t were e s s e n t i a l l y n e g l i g i b l e but D a i l l y (7) does report some values i n the upper part of the s h a f t . Because of the 1983 d r i l l program i t does now seem c l e a r t h a t t h e n e g a t i v e r e s u l t s o f L i n e # 2 are r e a d i l y e x p l a i n e d . Tha t o l d d r i l l l i n e was too far east of the p re sen t ly in t e rp re t ed channel l o c a t i o n .
L i n e #4 w h i c h was probably put down in l a t e 1930 ' s , on the c o n t r a r y d i d encounter s i g n i f i c a n t va lues . Please see F i g u r e 4 f o r l o c a t i o n of the d r i l l l i n e .

T i n a : O ' C o n n o r : D e c . 23, 1983: MDK: - 9 -
Most of the values are i nd i ca t ed to be c lose to bedrock but some must have come from h i g h e r in the ho les . The s e c t i o n on the c h a n n e l , as shewn in D a i l l y ' s i l l u s t r a t i o n s f o r h i s r e p o r t , i s n a r r o w e r t h a n i n d i c a t e d by the 1983 d r i l l i n g f o r downs t r eam p o r t i o n s of the channel . Nevert h e l e s s , i t i s c o n s i d e r e d h i g h l y s i g n i f i c a n t f o r the e c o n o m i c p o t e n t i a l o f the creek that an o l d l i n e of churn d r i l l h o l e s abou t 6000 feet upstream from Line T - 3 , found the c h a n n e l and t h e r e was g o l d in i t . The d r i l l l i n e i s about 1000 feet upstream from the o l d storage dam.
In t h i s c o n n e c t i o n , when I w o r k e d on the c la ims in M a r c h of t h i s y e a r , f o r a n o t h e r c l i e n t , I was t o l d by a l o c a l and fo rmer p l a c e r mine o p e r a t o r tha t , near an o l d d r i l l s h a c k a n o t h e r l i n e of d r i l l holes were put down. I f t h i s i s i n d e e d s o , then there was an unreported d r i l l l i n e on ly about 3000 feet upstream from l i n e T - 3 .
T h e r e a r e t h r e e i m p o r t a n t f ac to rs i n cons ider ing the p o t e n t i a l o f t he c r e e k . The f i r s t i s , unsuspected and k n o w n , confluence zones. These zones, t h e o r e t i c a l l y , should be e n r i c h e d z o n e s . T h e r e i s a most obvious one where the West and the East Forks of Otter Creek meet at the southern end o f t h e c l a i m g r o u p . N o r t h o f t h i s zone, w i t h i n the O t t e r C r e e k s t r e a m v a l l e y , ^ i n t he o l d channel , for some d i s t a n c e downs t r eam the g rave l s should be enriched by both t h e e f f e c t s o f p o s s i b l e g r a d i e n t c h a n g e s , and a l so the d r a i n a g e from s i z a b l e basins being un i t ed i n the one v a l l e y o f O t t e r Creek. I t would seem reasonable to expect that o l d pups or t r i b u t a r i e s o f O t t e r C r e e k c o u l d enr ich the o l d v a l l e y by c o n f l u e n c e . The p o s s i b i l i t y of such zones does enhance the p o t e n t i a l of the group.
The s e c o n d f a c t o r i s the bedrock geology. I t i s the w r i t e r ' s o p i n i o n , b a c k e d by some o t h e r s , that the most f a v o r a b l e b e d r o c k a t the camp i s greeenstone v o l c a n i c s , w h e t h e r s c h i s t o s e or n o t .

T h i s f o r m a t i o n i s m a i n l y s c h i s t o s e a n d e s i t i c v o l c a n i c s . By comparing the c l a i m map w i t h A i t k e n ' s g e o l o g i c a l map of the area i t appears that the g r e e n s t o n e part of the "Gold Se r i e s " s t a r t s about D r i l l Line T-3 and ends about at o l d D r i l l Line #4.

I t i s unusual to see an a c t i v e f au l t i n u n c o n s o l i d a t e d s e d i m e n t s . The s t r i k e of the f a u l t was a b o u t N-S and d i p was a l m o s t v e r t i c a l .

The poss ib l e length of the creek covered by T i n a Group c l a i m s i s about 2 and 1/2 m i l e s or about 13 ,000 f e e t . Of t h e s e one h a l f of T i n a c l a i m w i l l be d i s c u s s e d i n t e rms of p r o b a b l e and p o s s i b l e o r e .

T h e r e a r e two s e p a r a t e main sec t ions of the creek in te rms of p o t e n t i a l . The f i r s t s ec t ion comprises about two and t h r e e q u a r t e r c l a i m l e n g t h s or about 7000 fee t . The second sec t ion i s about two c l a i m lengths and i s about 5,000 f e e t l o n g . The f i r s t s ec t ion i s jus t upstream of the Tina c l a i m and b e l o w the storage dam. Here i t i s expected that the f a v o r a b l e g r e e n s t o n e b e d r o c k w i l l r e s u l t i n r i c h e r p l a c e r d e p o s i t s . Upstream of t h i s s e c t i o n , not only should the b e d r o c k be the l e s s favorable sediments, but gradient s h o u l d be l e s s and the c h a n n e l narrower. I t i s expected t h a t p l a c e r d e p o s i t s here w i l l be somewhat lower grade and lower i n volume per foot of channel .
I t i s e x p e c t e d , based on d r i l l i n g r e s u l t s , not only on T-3 b u t on o t h e r l i n e s o f Dan G r o u p , t h a t width of "B" h o r i z o n w i l l be a b o u t 120 feet wi th th ickness of about 30 f e e t . F o r a l e n g t h o f the channel of 100 feet t h i s means abou t 13 , 000 C . Y . per hundred feet of channel . There are abou t 70 such l e n g t h s or a p o t e n t i a l for "B" hor izon of abou t 0 .9 m i l l i o n C . Y . The bedrock hor izon should have a s i m i l a r w i d t h and about 12 feet t h i c k n e s s . This r e s u l t s i n abou t 5,000 cubic yards per hundred feet of channel or about 400 ,000 C . Y . for the f i r s t s e c t i o n . The t o t a l p o t e n t i a l i n c u b i c yards for the f i r s t s ec t i on i s about 1.3 m i l l i o n cubic yards for both p o t e n t i a l h o r i z o n s .
U p s t r e a m , f o r the upper two cla ims i t seems reasonable to r e d u c e the s i z e of the p o t e n t i a l channel . This reduced s i z e i s i n d i c a t e d i n t he c r o s s - s e c t i o n f o r L i n e #4 of D a i l l y ' s map.

T h i s means that about 0.5 m i l l i o n cubic yards of o o t e n t i a l pay i n the channe l may be proven by d r i l l i n g on the two southernmost c l a i m s . The t o t a l yardage p o t e n t i a l i s then abou t 1.8 m i l l i o n cubic yards . The p o t e n t i a l grade of t h i s m a t e r i a l and the r e s u l t a n t ounce p o t e n t i a l w i l l be d i s c u s s e d b e l o w a f t e r c o n s i d e r a t i o n of the probable and pos s ib l e reserves for the d r i l l e d block of Tina c l a i m .

Because of the r e s u l t s shewn in Appendix A and in the c r o s s - s e c t i o n s of F i g u r e 7 i t i s considered tha t , despi te the poor r e s u l t s of d r i l l i n g on l i n e s T - l and T-2 , the very good r e s u l t s of " B " h o r i z o n in S083-53 are s i g n i f i c a n t in t e rms of expected grade. Hole S083-53 gave 22 feet of 0.48 o z / C . Y . i n "B" h o r i z o n . Hole S083-52 gave only 0.02 o z / C . Y . f o r an e q u i v a l e n t t h i c k n e s s i n the same h o r i z o n . The ave r a g e i s abou t 0 .23 for the two holes about 70 feet apar t . I have c o n s e r v a t i v e l y ass igned a grade of 0.1 o z / C . Y . for " B " h o r i z o n as p r o b a b l e ore . The lower hor izon should be r i c h e r b a s e d on r e s u l t s o f o t h e r holes downstream i n Dan c l a i m s and deduced grade from one o l d h o l e . I have assigned a g r a d e o f 0 .15 o z / C . Y . f o r p r o b a b l e ore to the bedrock h o r i z o n . Volume here i s considered to be about the same as the vo lume for p o t e n t i a l ore d i scussed above, that i s about 18,000 cubic yards per hundred feet of channel .
The vo lume f o r t he d r i l l e d s e c t i o n of the o l d channel i s t hen abou t 250,000 cubic yards . Ha l f of t h i s yardage i s c o n s i d e r e d as p r o b a b l e and h a l f as p o s s i b l e r e se rve . The g r a d e as worked ou t u s i n g the above assigned grades and 1 3 , 0 0 0 C . Y . and 5,000 C . Y . for the upper and lower horizons i s 0 . 1 1 o z / C . Y . T h i s means abou t 2 7 , 5 0 0 ounces a r e a s s i g n e d as p r o b a b l e plus p o s s i b l e ore i n the d r i l l e d par t of Tina C l a i m .
As f o r p o t e n t i a l ounces the f o l l o w i n g c a l c u l a t i o n can now be made using the yardage p o t e n t i a l s t a ted above for the u n d r i l l e d part of Tina c l a i m . The p o t e n t i a l grade i s about 0 .10 f o r t h e 1.3 m i l l i o n C . Y . of the f i r s t s e c t i o n . This means abou t 130 , 000 ounces may be proven here by d r i l l i n g . I n t h e s e c o n d s e c t i o n o f abou t 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 C . Y . the average g r a d e i s expected to be lower at about 0.05 ounces per cubic y a r d . T h i s amounts t o abou t 2 5 , 0 0 0 o u n c e s . The t o t a l ounces t hen amount t o abou t 150,000 as p o t e n t i a l for the c l a i m s o f T i n a g r o u p . Adding t h i s to the probable ounces means t h a t the t o t a l product ion from the creek could be as high as about 18 2,000 ounces.
MINING CONSIDERATIONS
The s t r i p p i n g f o r r e c o v e r y of the above gold ounces w i l l be somewhat d i f f i c u l t b e c a u s e i t w i l l r equ i re the d i v e r s i o n o f O t t e r C r e e k . T h e r e a r e some d i t c h e s , o l d f l u m e s and some 2 f o o t d i a m e t e r pipe on the east s ide of O t t e r C r e e k . This was used for h y d r a u l i c k i n g operat ions on the c r e e k a t t h e s i t e of the present Dra in Lease Mine. In no way was t h i s ever intended as a d i v e r s i o n of the Creek. The volume of the creek at Tina c l a i m far exceeds the

c a r r v i n c capaci ty cf t h i s o ld water supply system. I expect, t h a t a wooden, p i a s t i c - l i n e d flume on the west side of the c r e e k s h o u l d p r o v i d e adequa t e d i v e r s i o n c a p a c i t y . In a d d i t i o n to the surface flow there w i l l c e r t a i n l y be a very l a r g e subterranean f low. This w i l l mean that bedrock dra ins and l a r g e capac i ty pumps w i l l be needed to c l ea r the bedrock h o r i z o n . T h i s h o r i z o n w i l l most l i k e l y r e q u i r e large r i ppe r -equ iped t r ac to r s for mining and the excavat ion bottom w i l l have to be c lear of water.
T h e s u b - v a l l e y s t r i p p i n g r a t i o i s v e r y r o u g h l y e s t i m a t e d at about 2 .5 t o 1. T h i s i s determined by the s e c t i o n a l r e l a t i o n s h i p s shown in Figure 7. There are about 30 f e e t o f b a r r e n mate r ia l above the " B " hor izon and about 40 f e e t of barren t i l l and sand below that hor izon and above t h e b e d r o c k pay z o n e . The " B " h o r i z o n i s about 30 feet t h i c k . The depth r a t i o i s about 70:30 or s l i g h t l y l e s s than 2 . 5 : 1 . I n a d d i t i o n t o the s u b - v a l l e y overburden there i s t h e t i l l ma te r ia l above the stream i n the v a l l e y w a l l s . Not much i n f o r m a t i o n i s a v a i l a b l e on the th ickness of the t i l l f o r t h i s s t r i p p i n g task . I t i s assumed that about 75 feet of t h i c k n e s s (when the channel i s t o t a l l y ou ts ide the stream v a l l e y ) w i l l have to be s t r i p p e d . H o w e v e r , i t i s not c o n s i d e r e d l i k e l y that t h i s w i l l occur o f t en . So an average t h i c k n e s s of abou t 50 feet i s a more reasonable f igure for t h e s t r i p p i n g of the t i l l ma t e r i a l on the v a l l e y s i d e s . This p u t s t he dep th r a t i o at 120 :30 or 4 : 1 . The t o t a l pay mate r i a l i s about 2.0 m i l l i o n cubic ya rds . In very rough f i g u r e s t h e n abou t 8 .0 m i l l i o n c u b i c yards w i l l have to be s t r i p p e d to mine that amount of pay. There are estimated as po t en t i a l , a n d probable and p o s s i b l e o re , to be about 182,000 ounces i n the pay zones on the Tina Group. I f the s t r i p p i n g c o s t s a r e s e t a t abou t $ 3 . 0 0 per c u b i c y a r d then t o t a l s t r i p p i n g c o s t s may be about 24.0 m i l l i o n d o l l a r s . Mining c o s t s should be not more than $10 per C . Y . for a mining cost o f abou t $ 2 0 . 0 m i l l i o n . At about $400 per ounce the gross v a l u e o f the g o l d p o t e n t i a l of the proper ty i s about $73.0 m i l l i o n . The net operat ing p r o f i t could be i n the range of a b o u t $30 m i l l i o n . I t i s c o n s i d e r e d that the s t r i p p i n g c o s t s a r e perhaps too h igh . In any case , the above numbers g i v e i n very rough numerical form, some idea of the pos s ib l e e x p l o i t a t i o n r e s u l t o f a sucess fu l e x p l o r a t i o n program on the Tina Group.
B e c a u s e of the amount of s t r i p p i n g needed per year the r a t e o f progress of mining w i l l be slow . I t i s most l i k e l y t h a t t h e m i n i n g o f t he f i v e c l a i m s , i f t he d r i l l i n g e x p l o r a t i o n r e s u l t s are p o s i t i v e , w i l l take over s i x years and may t a k e as l o n g as ten yea r s . Of course , go ld p r i c e changes i n tha t time may make the o v e r a l l venture much more (or l e s s ) p r o f i t a b l e than i n d i c a t e d above.
