These epithermal prospects have shown high gold assays, and offer excellent potential with maximized convenience. The claims are conducive to prospecting for approximately seven to eight months out of the year. Whether of larger mining status, a junior firm desiring to expand upon its operations or holdings, the entrepreneurial mining speculator, the individual seeking investment opportunities, the small operator desiring a Mom & Pop operation, or, the junior prospector seeking a quality property to engage in hardrock explorations, quite probably the acquisition of one or more of GPEX’s properties will satisfy the search.
Capsule Geology The Oakla showing occurs in a region underlain by Lower Jurassic strata into which felsic plutons of the Upper Jurassic Francois Lake Suite have been intruded. Volcanics of the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Tertiary Ootsa Lake Group overlie these rocks. The Oakla showing comprises pyritic veins cutting grey-green andesite of the Ootsa Lake Group. A sample of one of these veins returned a value of 18.5 grams per tonne gold (Annual Report 1923, p. 119).

A diorite dike trending 030 degrees cuts the andesite which are comprised of propylitically altered flows and flow breccia. Vesicles are commonly filled with quartz, chalcedony, epidote and calcite. The rhyolitic rocks contain vugs and fracture-fillings of chalcedony and locally, bitumen. Quartz veins, stockworks and breccia-fillings are hosted by the andesite. The main vein strikes 055 degrees with steep dips to the northwest and is up to 0.5 metres wide with limited lateral extent (up to 30 metres). The quartz is white, locally banded and vuggy. Disseminated pyrite occurs locally. A grab sample of the quartz veining assayed 3.88 grams per tonne gold and 3.2 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 16786). With the opening of GPEX’s mineral property portfolio, these and several other dynamic prospects of high potential, are now made available to parties bearing serious hardrock interest. Whether of larger mining status, a junior firm desiring to expand upon its operations or holdings, the entrepreneurial mining speculator, the individual seeking investment opportunities, the small operator desiring a Mom & Pop operation, or, the junior prospector seeking a quality property to engage in hardrock explorations, quite possibly the acquisition of one or more of GPEX’s properties will satisfy the search.
