Oxide Peak
Oxide Peak Cu-Au Project, Toodoggone District
• 3359 hectares located in the northern
Toodoggone District
Oxide • B.C.’s largest concentration of high level
Peak porphyry lithocap environments
• The property is contiguous with Freeport-
McMoRan’s JD Project
• Two porphyry targets on the property:
• Oxide Peak/Oxide Creek: an exposed
transition from ridgetop epithermal alteration
(silica and advanced argillic) to porphyry
style alteration and veining along the creek
• Falcon: phyllic to propylitic alteration
associated with porphyry dykes intruding
close to the Stuhini – Hazelton unconformity
• Both porphyry systems are associated with
outcropping Cu-Au mineralization and never
drill tested
• A third target (Gordonia) consists of
widespread high grade Cu-Au quartz veins in
volcanic and high level intrusive rocks near a
probable volcanic center

Results from the 2018 exploration program and historical work suggest ArcWest’s project
portfolio has significant potential for a porphyry copper-gold discovery. The following
exploration was conducted during the 2018 season:
• Steam sediment survey follow up: Follow up of stream sediment anomalies has resulted in the
discovery of new porphyry copper occurrences, significantly increasing the footprint of porphyry
copper-gold systems on the properties.
• Geophysics: Preliminary IP was completed at both the Todd Creek and Oweegee projects; a
significant chargeability target anomaly was outlined at the Yellow Bowl Zone at Todd Creek.
• Geological mapping and sampling: Geological mapping at Todd Creek has outlined new zones
and provided a robust structural model for exploration, geochemical sampling has documented a
broad zone of high grade Cu and Au related to sulfide-rich breccias at the Yellow Bowl Zone. Thin
section petrography at Oxide Peak has identified porphyry style veining and alteration in the Oxide
Creek Zone.
• Property tours: Confidentiality agreements have been signed with multiple mining companies and
property tours were conducted in September; partnership discussions for multiple projects are
ongoing.
• Drilling: Phase 1 drilling campaigns for the several of the projects are planned for 2019
