Hi Maple Leaf, Porphyry systems and Diamond potential. Does it get any beter?...

Mr J.W. Morton reports
A ten hole, 955m diamond drill program was completed during March 1998 at the
Indata property approximately 130 km to the northwest of Fort St James by Clear
Creek Resources. The Indata property consists of ten mineral claims totalling 139
units encompassing approximately 8500 acres (3450 hectares). Wildrose owns an
84.1% working interest in the Indata property with Imperial Metals holding the
remaining 15.9% interest in the property. Terms of this option provide that Clear
Creek makes payments totalling $180,000; issues 50,000 shares and completes
exploration expenditures of $1.5 million before July 31 2000.
The Indata property consists of a number of target areas for porphyry copper and
vein related precious metal mineralization. The thrust of Clear Creek's work has
been on a porphyry copper target first identified by Imperial Metals in 1985, the
Albert Lake target. In that year hole I-85-1 intersected multiple zones of 0.10 to
0.22% copper over widths of up to 9m. Coincident with the 1985 drill program was
the location of an angular boulder that, while never assayed, was described as being
25 cm by 35 cm in size and being 15% to 20% chalcopyrite and bornite. In 1995
Wildrose (then Eastfield Resources) completed an excavator trenching program in
the vicinity of this 1985 hole. Results included 0.36% copper over 75m from mafic
volcanics altered to an assemblage of quartz-amphibole and magnetite. In 1996
Clear Creek drilled hole 96-I-1 50m west of hole 85-I-1 at right angles to this trench.
Hole 96-I-1 intersected 0.12% copper over a full length of 96.5m. Narrow diorite
dykes and minor tourmaline alteration were observed for the first time.
In 1998 Clear Creek completed several spurs to the road system over a 3km
north-south section including a westward spur from hole 96-I-1. Hole 98-I-4 was
then completed 120m west of 96-I-1. Hole 98-I-4 is the most successful hole to
date, intersecting 0.20% copper over 145.2m (from 12.2m to 157.4m) including
0.37% copper over 24.1m from 133.3 to 157.4m. Mineralization in this hole is
associated with swarms of silicified granodiorite to quartz monzonite dykes in an
andesite host and occurs coincident with an increase in quartz-tourmaline and biotite
alteration. Molybdenum, previously unknown on the property, occurs in this hole in
concentrations up to 360 ppm.
Hole 98-I-9 120m to the southwest of hole 98-I-4 and
drilled in the opposite direction, intersected 0.18% copper over 58.3m.
Holes 98-I-4 and 98-I-9 are the most westerly and the most successful holes yet
completed in the Albert Lake target. The surface extent (plan) of porphyry copper
mineralization identified by drilling and trenching now exceeds 200m by 300m. Holes
98-I-4 and 98-I-9 are on the extreme edge of soil and geophysical grids and indicate
a westward direction of increasing alteration, intrusive dyking and copper
mineralization. Wildrose believes it has an excellent chance of discovering an
economic deposit if the porphyry system continues to strengthen in this direction.
Clear Creek is currently reviewing the results of the March program.
