Dear Sir; Re: Nicola Syndicate (Venture 26.)
Between June 1st and 8th we traversed by dip needle the floor and the accessible portion of the valley walls of Summers Creek up to the top of the talus line. We also covered Dillon Creek to its junction with Vinson Creek; the Ruby Group of claims (formerly the King George Group) and part of the creek to the south; several side creeks and the lower part of Rampart Creek, Most of the readings were below normal except in the granitic apophyse near Rampart Creek where they were a few degrees above normal (5 to 8 degrees). A few scattered spots of copper staining were discovered on the east side at mile 4 and mile 9 but these were email and i n significant .
Summers Creek is a relatively straight, narrow valley, deeply incised in the Interior Plateau. It is the southern end of a well-defined topographic break that extends south from Nicola Lake, marked by Quilchena Creek, Alleyne, Kentucky and Bluey Lakes, through Missezula Lake. It is very probably fault-controlled and, due to the occurrence of copper mineralization at erratic intervals, is considered good prospecting ground. However, the copper deposits are very low grade and appear to be associated with small ancillary fractures covering very limited areas. As no significant readings were obtained with the dip needle, there does not appear to be any relationship between copper and magnetite in the area.
A highly gossanized zone of shearing, in a generally north-south direction, several hundred feet wide, occurs one-half mile above the mouth of Dillard Creek, east of the south end of Missezula Lake. The rocks are highly altered volcanics of the Nicola group containing disseminated, very fine grained pyrite. No chalcopyrite or malachite was observed. This zone was sampled in three places but assayed only a trace in gold. A similar zone was seen at the lower end of Rampart Creek about one-half mile east of Summers Creek. As Rampart Creek flows southerly about one mile east of Summers Creek, it may mark a zone of shearing between the above mentioned occurrences.

M r . J . A . M i t c h e l l - I. June 17th, 1958
The o ld K i n g George group of m i n e r a l c l a i m s , about 1 1 / 2 m i l e s east of the south end of M i s s e z u l a L a k e , was b r i e f l y examined . It i s now held as the Ruby group of s ix c l a i m s by G e r a l d B u r r of P r i n c e t o n . T h i s was examined b r i e f l y and two samples taken of the r i ches t -appear ing m i n e r a l i z a t i o n . T r a c e s of copper, ch ie f ly malachi te but wi th some cha l co -p y r i t e , occur i n pits i n a l ight dr i f t covered a r e a for a length of about 800 feet along a nor th - south shear zone es t imated to be 25 feet wide . Most of i t i s v e r y l ow grade . Where the copper m i n e r a l i z a t i o n i s heaviest , two n a r r o w trenches c r o s s . One grab sample assayed 0.02 oz gold , 0.10 s i l v e r and 1.35% copper . A se r i e s of chips taken across 18 feet of the shear zone assayed 0.015 go ld , 0.10 s i l v e r and 1.45% copper . T h i s represents the highest v i s i b l e concentrat ion of copper , and the average of the exposed areas would be l ess than o n e - t h i r d of t h i s . G e r a l d B u r r repor ts obtaining gold assays f r o m "gossan cappings H on other par ts of the zone and on nearby areas ranging f r o m $3.50 to $16.00 p e r t o n . In v iew of the low gold assays f r o m our samples and the lack o£ gold i n the D i l l a r d C r e e k gossan, i t i s felt that m o r e prospect ing should be done by the owners before this property would warrant optioning.
T h i s i s the f i n a l progress repor t of the N i c o l a Syndicate venture . Whi le this work has not resu l ted i n the d i s c o v e r y of any new " C r a i g m o n t -type" depos i ts , i t has essent ia l ly demonstrated the absence of strong magnetic anomal ies i n the areas covered (detailed i n prev ious r epor t s ) . Whi le low grade copper deposits are s p a r s e l y d i s t r ibuted throughout the M e r r i t t - P r i n c e t o n a r e a , they do not appear to be assoc iated with concentrat ions of magnet i te .
On Saturday, June 7th, the Tu le anomaly was invest igated by Se l f -Po tent ia l and E l e c t r o - M a g n e t i c methods on behalf of the Syndicate , by iM or an da and Granny p e r s o n n e l . W h i l e the r esu l t s f a i l ed to indicate the presence of a b u r i e d sulphide body, the magnet ic anomaly can be re -eva luated at any t i m e i n the l ight of future developments .
I would l i k e to express m y apprec ia t i on here for the w i l l i n g and able ass is tance rendered by a l l par t i c ipants i n this venture .
