Geology

From the National Instrument 43-101

developed by our geologist

"The MYLBH Arco Silica prospects contains some of the purest if not the purest silica resources in North America. The resource size is vast and depending on the feasibility of extraction at levels well below surface mining limits, the minable resource volumes counts amongst the largest in the world."
-Geologist Dr. Johan Hattingh, Ph.D.
LABORATORY ASSAYS

LABORATORY ASSAYS

In multiple laboratory assays performed in Germany, the United States and Mexico, our silica from the two mines has presented a purity degree which fluctuates from 99.25% to 99.5%. The purest you can find in natural state anywhere in the world.

NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101

This report has been prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore known as the NI43-101 Instrument produced and published under the auspices of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”).

MOSTLY MILKY WHITE SILICA

The predominant rock type on the Arco Hills and Elbow Canyon Project areas is the Kinnikinic Quartzite and on the site, it is composed of over 99% pure silica (SiO2). Fresh colours range from white (N9) to light olive grey (5 Y 6/1), medium grey (N5) and brownish grey (5 YR 4/1). Full sequences of the Kinnikinic section are exposed in numerous locations to provide ample access to the full sequence of quartzite.

The mineral deposit being investigated and explored is an extremely pure quartzite containing over 99% silica and has been identified as an “ortho quartzite”. The geological model is essentially based on identifying areas of the highest purity of silica within the Kinnikinic Quartzite and separating these high-purity occurrences from less-pure silica occurrences. Petrologists have documented two different types of quartzites and both have greater than 80% quartz: 1) Ortho-quartzites or “sedimentary quartzite’s”, and 2) Meta-Quartzites or “metamorphic quartzites”. They are separated by their paragenesis and both originate with granitoid rocks that are weathered to produce detrital quartz that undergoes sedimentation.

The mineralized zones within the Arco Hills Project consist of the occurrences of the Kinnikinic Quartzite, which is exposed in large, massive outcrops on both the Arco Hills Property and the Elbow Canyon Property. Overlying the quartzite is limestone and dolomite that are not silica enriched. The geological control to mineralization is the initial occurrence of granitoid rocks available for weathering, production of quartz, and subsequent sedimentation. The overlying carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite) do not contain enough amounts of silica to produce detrital quartz during the weathering process. The silica mineralization is observed in outcrop exposures several hundred meters thick and several thousand meters in length and width. The continuity of silica content has been documented by previous workers (Butler, 2007; Jung, 1999; Smith, 1996) as consistent within the Kinnikinic Quartzite exposures to the Arco Hills and Elbow Canyon Projects.
