On the exploration side, an incred- ible amount of money spent by over 30 companies this past season has been going into the highly prospective Golden Triangle which has yielded some excellent results, including GT Gold and Garibaldi Resources. Access can still be difficult for some properties but things have been made easier for others with the paving of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway north of Smithers. The BC Hydro Northwest Transmission line runs all the way to the Red Chris Mine in the north. The current exploration efforts under way in the Golden Triangle attest to the tremendous untapped mineral potential in the region – much of it still unexplored. Below are summaries of recent explora- tion and mining activities in Canada's most exciting mineral play. Aben Resources Ltd. [ABN-TSXV; ABNAF-OTC; E2L-FSE] reported results for the final five drill holes (FK17-05 to 09) from the 2017 Phase I drilling at the Forrest Kerr Project. Results continue to reveal near-surface high-grade gold min- eralization at the Boundary Zone and demonstrate potential for new discoveries. Hole FK17-05 returned 1.2 g/t gold, 1.8 g/t silver and 0.21% copper over 122 metres, including 10.9 g/t gold, 14.6 g/t sil- ver and 1.5% copper over 12 metres with a high-grade core of 21.5 g/t gold, 28.5 g/t silver and 3.1% copper over 6 metres. Hole FK17-06 returned 0.51 g/t gold, 1.03 g/t silver and 0.1% copper over 94 metres, including 2.91 g/t gold, 5.2 g/t silver and 0.6% copper over 14 metres. Boundary Zone mineralization is open in multiple directions. Aben will drill the new discov- ery in 2018. American Creek Resources Ltd. [AMK-TSXV] is exploring its 100%-owned Dunwell Mine group of properties 7 km northeast of Stewart. The program includes locating adits and other historic workings and planning hole locations for Phase I drilling. The 1,528-hectare Dunwell prop- erty includes the past producing (1926-41) high-grade Dunwell gold mine which pro- duced 45,657 tonnes averaging 6.63 g/t gold, 223.91 g/t silver, 1.83% lead, 4.01% zinc and 0.056% copper. There are over 15 other high-grade gold/silver showings on the property including the Ben Ali (pro- duced 4,500 tons of 21.6 g/t gold), the Tyee (produced 8.2 tonnes of 124.4 g/t gold with 4,478.8 g/t silver), the George E. (produced 12 tons of 13.0 g/t gold with 3,250.0 g/t silver and 23.3% lead) and several others with past production of high-grade gold, silver and base metals.

[APX-TSXV; SLMLF-OTC; RZN-FSE] is sampling and exploring the eastern Eldorado, central Cloud property and the western Wild properties with helicopter assisted pros- pecting, reconnaissance mapping and geochemical surveys.
