Kermode CEO Peter Bell comments, “Thanks to our partner on this deal, Milo Mielniczuk! I think the deal terms are innovative and the property is prospective.” The Lightning Peak property is a 2,890-hectare property located 60km South East of Vernon, BC and 35 kilometers south of Cherryville, BC. The project covers prospective ground within rocks of the prolific Quesnellia Terrane. This terrane is host to many major B.C. porphyry deposits such as Highland Valley, Gibraltar, Mount Polley, Mount Milligan, Copper Mountain and others. The Lightning Peak project’s name is from its location at the northern base of the extinct Lightning Peak volcano.

Figure 1 Lightning Peak Tenure and Mineral occurrence locations
The property covers 9 known BC Mineral occurrences, and a new occurrence discovered in 2020. These occurrences consist of historical exploration trenches or small-scale mining operations from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. During a property inspection carried out by Eagle Plains personnel in the Summer of 2020, rock grab samples from the Morning workings ranged from trace values to highs of 39.4 g/t gold and 912 g/t silver (sample TTLPR016) and 1.31 g/t gold, 205 g/t silver, 1.88% lead, 5.03% zinc and 0.12% cadmium (sample TTLPR015).
The 2020 discovery, referred to as the Aurum Vena showing, consists of numerous local float boulders containing brecciated semi-massive sulphides that consistently contain highly elevated gold, lead and zinc mineralization with values ranging from trace
quantities to highs of 5.84 g/t gold, 30.6 g/t Ag, 3680 ppm lead and 674 ppm zinc (sample TTLPR010*-float boulder).

Since Eagle Plains dropped their property option agreement, additional ground was acquired that hosts other mineral occurrences including the Peak AU showing. The area was formerly optioned by Tower Resources who collected rock grabs of 45.7 gpt Au and 794 gpt Ag at the Peak AU occurrence. This area was the focus of the initial 2024 site visit with additional work planned.
