SUMMARY
The Silver Standard 2 Claims are located on top of Glen Mountain, approximately 11
kilometers northeast of Hazelton, as shown on location map (figure 1). It lies just south
and west of the historic Silver Standard Mine property , and shares a common boundary
with it. The author spent 25 years of his life working in this mine, the last 15 years as a
leaser. During these many years the author has acquired a good working knowledge of
its geology and structure. Altogether, there are approximately 20 known veins on the
property, but the bulk of the 250,000 tons of ore that was produced on this property came
from about 8 of those veins. The source of the mineralization on the property is believed
to have come from 2 small granodiorite intrusives . The producing veins lie east and
north of these intrusives . Which raisers the question as to whether the veins extend west
and south of the intrusives as well. Over the years the ground that lies south and west of
the still current Crown Granted Claims now held by Silver Standard Resources has been
staked by a number of free miners. One of these free miners ran a VLF-EM survey on
ground now covered by the Silver Standard 2 Claim. (The old flagging tape with its
identification numbers is still there today). On the strength of the results of this survey he
drilled a diamond drill hole, with a "Winkie" diamond drill, on one of the anomalies.
This diamond drill hole intercepted a mineralized quartz vein approximately 30
centimeter wide. The author saw the diamond drill core and can confirm the results.
On May 17, 2015 this ground came open and was staked by the author under the name
Silver Standard 2,and consists of9 cell units. A VLF-EM survey was run on part of the
property in July 2015. This survey was successful in defining, a number of anomalies, all
of which have the characteristics of vein type structures. It also partially answers the
question as to whether the veins on the Silver Standard mine property could extend to the
south of the intrusives, in that one of the lines in this survey (L5N) crossed over an
exposed vein on the Silver Standard property, and it clearly shows up on the filtered data
as a vein type structure .
The results of this survey would suggest that further investigation of the property is
warranted. It is the intention of the author to run another five lines to the south of the
present survey as well as extending those lines 1200 meters to the east.

INTRODUCTION
2.1
Location, Access and Terrain
The Silver Standard 2 Claims are located on top of Glen Mountain and on its western and
eastern slopes, approximately 11 kilometers northeast of Hazelton, as shown on the
location map (figure 1). The claim is accessed by the Silver Standard Road which takes
off from a paved road connecting Hazelton and New Hazelton at a place called Two Mile,
some 3 .2 kilometers east of Hazelton. From this point on the road is mostly gravel and
quite rough in places with trees encroaching on the edges of the road, but still negotiable
by car or truck.
The claim ranges in elevation from 390 meters to 600 meters. The property is covered by
a forest of mixed species: pine, spruce, cedar, and hemlock.
2.2
Property and Ownership
The Silver Standard 2 Claim was staked on Mayl 7, 2015, as shown on tenure map
(figure 2). The claim is 100% owned by George Braun of Midway, B.C. (FMC #103142),
the author of this report.
2.3
History
The history of the Silver Standard 2 claim is associated with the history of the Silver
Standard Mine, who share a common boundary. At one time there were a total of 25
Crown Granted claims covering the top of Glen Mountain where the Silver Standard
Mine was located. After the mine closed in 1958, many of these claims reverted to the
crown. The Silver Standard 2 claim now covers some of that ground.
The Silver Standard ore deposit was discovered and staked in 1910 and sold to a
Vancouver mining company who shipped some hand sorted ore to the smelter. In 1918 a
50 ton per day gravity concentrator was installed, and production continued till 1922,
when the mine was shut down . In 194 7 the mine was reopened by Silver Standard Mines
Ltd. of Vancouver, who erected a 60 ton per day flotation mill at the mine site.
Production continued for a period of 10 years during which time an average of 20,000
tons of ore per year was processed. The mine shut down in 1958. Small scale mining
continued for another 30 years by a series of leasers, who found small pockets of ore that
could be mined without the use of expensive machinery. The author was one of those
leasers. For 15 years, beginning in 1974, the author was able to earn a living in small
scale mining, shipping hand sorted ore to the smelter at Trail..

It was during this time, when the author was leasing the Silver Standard Mine, that a local
prospector staked the ground adjacent to the Silver Standard Crown Granted claims. He
ran a VLF-EM survey on this ground, and on the basis of that survey he proceeded to
drill a diamond drill hole on one of the anomalies, which intersected a quartz vein. The
author did not get to see the results of the survey, but he did see the core, which revealed
a quartz vein approximately 30 centimeter in width, with a 6 centimeter band of solid
sulphides running through it. Nothing further was done on these claims and eventually
they lapsed. Over the years since then, others have staked this ground. On May 17, 2015
this ground came open and was staked by the author under the name of Silver Standard 2.
2.4 Summary of Work Done
An Electromagnetic survey was run in July,2015, covering cell keys 093M05B072A,
093M05B072B, and 093M05B072B. (figure 3). In total, 7.2 kilometers of VLF-EM line
was run. The lines were spaced 100 meters apart and readings taken at 25 meter
intervals along these lines. The field work was done on July 8, 10-13, 17. Data processing
was done by the author in the latter part of November and the final report was written
November 30, 2015.

3.0
GEOLOGY and MINERALIZATION
The Silver Standard 2 claim is located on Glen Mountain, which is composed of gently
folded sedimentary rocks of the Kitsuns Creek Formation dating to the Upper Jurassic or
Lower Cretaceous age. The sediments are composed mainly of tuffaceous sandstone,
arkose, argillites, and greywacke (a type of hard sandstone also known as a ridge
builder). On the western slope of Glen Mountain the sediments form a low anticline,
while at the top of the mountain they form a syncline. This broad structure is interrupted
by numerous minor folds on the limb of the main fold. Between elevations 3 90 meters
and 450 meters the sediments are intruded by two small porphyritic granodiorite stocks
which appear to have a direct relationship to the mineralization on Glen Mountain. The
chief minerals are silver, gold, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, cadmium, pyrargyrite,
pyrite, chalcopyrite,and arsenopyrite. There are some twenty quartz veins on the historic
Silver Standard Mine property, which lies adjacent to the Silver Standard 2 claims on
Glen Mountain. Most of these veins strike northeast and dip 50-70 degrees southeast. For
the most part these veins lie parallel to each other and are spaced from 100 to 350 meters
apart. There is strong reason to believe that the anomalies that have been defined in this
survey could be extensions of known veins on the historic Silver Standard property.

4.0 ELETROMAGNETIC SURVEY
Instrumentation and Procedure
The survey was conducted with a Geonics "Ronka" EM-16 instrument which is a VLFEM receiver using submarine communication stations as a transmitter source. The
station for this survey was Seattle, Washington. Lines were spaced 100 meters apart and
readings taken at 25 meter intervals, facing east. The resulting data was filtered and
contoured using the Fraser method. The grid and survey location are shown on figure 3.
Because of a dense canopy of trees it wasn't possible to get the co-ordinates of any of the
survey lines. Therefore, the author determined the position of the northeast comer of the
Silver Standard 2 claim with a" Garmin etrex" GPS, and from this position ran a base
line to determine the starting points of Lines SN - Line 0. The raw data profiles are
included in Appendix 1, and the tabulated raw data in Appendix 2. Filtered data is shown
on figure 4.
Purpose
The Silver Standard mine, which is located just north of the Silver Standard 2 claim,
had a production history dating back to 1913, with the majority of the production taking
place between 1948-58. Total production was in excess of250,000 tons of high grade
silver, lead, zinc ore. All of this production came from a series of north-south trending
veins which were situated north of two porphyritic granodiorite stocks, which were
probably the source of the mineralization. Little exploration work was done on the area
south and west of the intrusives. The purpose of this survey, therefore, was to explore the
area south and west of the intrusives to see if the known veins might continue beyond the
intrusives, or to locate any new veins that had not been discovered as yet. The fact that a
diamond drill hole, drilled on ground now covered by the Silver Standard 2 claim,
intercepted a mineralized quartz vein enhances the possibility that there may be more
such veins still undiscovered.
Results and Interpretation
VLF-EM conductors may be produced by a variety of geologic and physiographic
conditions. Faults, including veins, are a primary cause, but highly conductive rock types,
conductive overburden , and certain contacts may also create a positive response. In this
area, veins generally show a moderate response of 5-30 % on the filtered data, whereas
major faults may show many times that value. The contoured plan of the filtered data
shows 6 north-south trending anomalies (figure 4). The anomalies are labeled A-F.
There are 8 structures indicated within these 6 anomalies shown on the filtered data that
fall within the above mentioned criterion, and are therefore shown as possible veins .

VLF-EM SURVEY
FILTERED DATA
Prepared by George Braun
November 2015
Fig. 4
!
L
The data confirms that at least one of these structures is a vein. The field book notes that
L5N crossed over some old workings where a quartz vein is exposed at 01 W + 25. At
this sight there was also a small stockpile of hand sorted ore. This lines up with a
structure in anomaly F that has been designated as a possible vein. The author did not
take the time to trace this vein back to its source, but from its location on the map, it
could be an extension of the # 1 Vein. What is interesting about this anomaly is that it
ends at L3N where another anomaly E joins up with it to form one anomaly that
continues down to LO. Anomaly E also has the characteristics of a vein type structure
and is designated as such. Anomaly D is weak at L5N but continues strong through to
LO where it seems to break up into three structures. It is designated as a possible vein.
Anomaly C actually contains 2 structures, labeled 1& 2, both of which are indicated as
possible veins. The same is true of anomaly B which also has 2 structures within it,
labeled B 1 & B2, both of which also have the characteristics of possible veins. Anomaly
B2 is strong on lines L5N and L4N, then weakens atL3N and ends at L2N. Anomaly Bl
is strong all the way to LO, where it seems to split in two. Anomaly A is fairly strong on
L5Nand L3N, but weak on L2N and L4N, and goes off the map at LIN.
It is to be noted that all of these anomalies trend north-south and are parallel to one
another, and that the spacing between structures varies from 75 meters to 250 meters with
an average spacing of 150 meters.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The VLF-EM survey on the Silver Standard 2 Claims was successful in defining a series
of north-south trending anomalies. The strike of these anomalies is similar to the strike of
the vein system on the historic Silver Standard Mine property , giving rise to the
possibility that the anomalies on the Silver Standard 2 property may be extensions of a
vein system that produced more than 200,000 tons of high grade ore over a ten year
period for the Silver Standard Mine from 1948-1958.
The author proposes to run another five lines to the south of the present survey as well
as extending those lines for 1200 meters to the north.
