Preliminary results show two structural sets, southeasterly- striking and northerly striking, hosting gold-bearing mineralization at the Georgia River Mine. These structural sets are pres- ent throughout the property. Additional higher resolution SAR data has been recommended to build a comprehensive exploration model. GGX Gold [GGX-TSXV], formerly Revolver Resources, has partnered with the J2 Syndicate to leverage itself to new discoveries in the Golden Triangle. GGX holds a 9% non-dilutive interest in the J2 syndicate which it purchased for $225,000. The J2 team has generated and pros- pected about 110 targets based on airborne magnetic data that was released from Geoscience BC's Search project in the fall of 2015. This $2.4 million project was launched to help exploration companies operating in west-central British Columbia unlock hidden resource potential. Based on positive assay results collected by the J2 team, multiple stand-alone precious metal prospects have been staked in northwest BC totaling 38,698 hectares. One of these projects is the 7,682-hectare Empire property, located 70 km northeast of Terrace. Several new targets were dis- covered on the Empire property in areas where recent glacial abatement has exposed mineralized outcrop. Outcrop grab samples this past summer returned grades up to 16.4 g/t gold, 36,875 g/t silver, 27.6% copper, 33.9% lead and 29.98% zinc. The Empire property is the fourth property to be announced from a larger suite of properties generated, prospected and staked by the J2 Syndicate. The others include the Bingo, Midas and GoldDigger properties. Eskay Mining [ESK-TSXV] controls some 130,000 acres surrounding Barrick Gold's prolific past-producing Eskay Creek Mine. The company reports that on the southernmost part of its Corey property 2016 field work suggests the productive Eskay Creek lithology continues toward the Frank Mackie icefield. Preliminary soil and rock sampling have yielded strongly anomalous pathfinder elements in that area. Another focus for fieldwork was the Big Red area near the south end of the Eskay holdings. There, about 25 grab samples from common quartz veins hosted in biotite-hornfelsed and variably quartz- sericite-pyrite altered volcaniclastic rocks consistently yielded very highly anoma- lous copper, molybdenum and tungsten values, with locally anomalous silver and gold. On its SIB property, the company plans to drill-test a deep target believed to be the southerly extension of the Eskay trend. The project lies immediately south- southwest the Eskay Creek Mine. Last August, Apex Resources [APX- TSXV], formerly Sultan Minerals, acquired the option to earn 100% interest in three Golden Triangle properties, located north of Stewart. They include the Eastern Eldorado property, 8 km NW of the his-
