The Indata property is located northwest of Prince George and was the original listing property of Eastfield in 1987. Placer Dome Inc. substantially funded exploration at Indata in 1988 and 1989. Other companies in the area include Serengeti Resources Inc. to the immediate northeast and Amarc Resources Ltd. to the immediate south. Status
Indata was optioned to MAX Resource Corp. in June 2008. MAX can earn a 60% interest in the Indata property over a three year period by making cash payments totaling $120,000, issuing up to 300,000 shares and by completing exploration expenditures of $1.15 million over a three year period. Geology
The Indata property is situated in a complex geological setting adjacent to the Pinchi fault. Several styles of mineralization exist on the property, including gold-silver mesothermal veins and porphyry style copper and gold hosted in volcanic rocks and granodiorite intrusions. Previous drill highlights include hole 1988-11, drilled in 1988, which intersected 4 metres grading 47.26 g/t (1.38 oz/ton) gold. Hole 1998-4, drilled in 1988, intersected 145.4 metres of 0.20% copper with the bottom 29.2 metres of the hole grading 0.37% copper. Several significantly mineralized trench samples (grabs) were obtained from work in 2007 including one sample returning 9.77 g/t gold and another 17.16 g/t. Of additional importance from the earlier work is the identification of an area of 300 metres by 150 metres producing a multielement soil geochemical anomaly (gold, lead, zinc, bismuth, arsenic, antimony, tungsten and tellurium on most stations). The new anomaly is located 600 metres to the northwest of previous grids and is of great interest because it has a significantly wider expression than what corresponded to previously discovered veins and contains higher concentrations of lead, antimony and bismuth. Previous work at Indata has identified a number of precious metal veins that can be characterized as being mesothermal in style consisting of quartz and sulfide. Pathfinder elements to the veins include arsenic, antimony, bismuth and tellurium. Known veins average approximately 1.5 metres in width (varying between 0.5 and 5.6 metres). A review of the 24 previous Indata diamond drill vein related intercepts indicates that the average intercept is 1.54 metres in width with an average grade of 8.41 g/tonne gold and 52.43 g/tonne silver (this average includes one very high grade intercept of 4.0 metres grading 47.26 g/t gold which if removed from this calculation reduces the average intercept to 1.43 metres with an average grade of 3.06 g/tonne gold and 59.40 g/tonne silver). Current Status
The 2008 program will build on the 2007 program which set the stage for renewed exploration of the property which has only had minimal programs completed in recent years. The 2007 program followed up on encouraging soil geochemistry and induced polarization results from work completed in 2003, and entailed construction of additional drill road access with excavator trenching. Grid expansions for additional soil and geophysical surveying was also performed. MAX plans to conduct a drill program at Indata during 2008 to test for mineralized extensions to or beneath the historical significant drill intercepts. These include the following: 1) Drill hole 88-11, drilled in 1988, which intersected 4 metres of altered and weakly chalcedonic veined ultramafic grading 46.2 g/t gold over 4 metres. A new vertical hole to a depth of 200 metres is proposed and will be collared immediately to the east of 88-11. Further precious metal targets have been identified by geochemical soil surveys carried out by the previous operators, the most recent of which was conducted in 2007. The robust gold and multi-element soil anomaly developed in 2007 will require an induced polarization surveying to detail this target prior to trenching or drilling. 2) Hole 98-04, drilled in 1998 in the porphyry copper target intersected 145 metres grading 0.20% copper with the bottom 24 metres grading 0.37% copper. This could represent an early indication that copper mineralization may be increasing with depth. The drill area is spatially related to a coincident magnetic high and circular feature observed on satellite imagery. Drilling has not effectively tested this feature to depth and on its northern extremity. A strong and relatively cohesive soil copper anomaly exists for at least 1,500 metres to the south of the known porphyry copper mineralization. This remains largely untested and shows promise of a large untested anomaly. Access
The property is located in central British Columbia northwest of Prince George. All of the 146 claim units covering 3,650 ha (9,000 acres) are road accessible. Comparables
Geochemical, geophysical and mineral showing targets extend along several kilometers, only portions of which have seen preliminary testing. Maps
