Switchback Copper-Silver Property
British Columbia, Canada
Silver • Copper • Lead • Zinc
The Switchback Copper-Silver Property is an early-stage exploration project approximately
55 km east-southeast of Terrace, British Columbia. The property consists of eight contiguous
mineral claims totalling 2,560.81 hectares and is accessible by forest-service roads.
Road-accessible exploration property
Forest-service roads provide access across much of the property, including a drill road
constructed in 2022. Terrace and Smithers provide regional exploration services and
year-round commercial air access.
The property is underlain principally by Lower Jurassic volcanic rocks of the Telkwa
Formation, Hazelton Group, with localized intrusive rocks. Historic work has documented
silver-copper and polymetallic mineralization in veins, fractures and altered volcanic rocks.

Switchback has been advanced through successive rock and soil sampling programs, induced
polarization geophysics and a maiden diamond-drill program.

grades across the property.
Expanded silver-copper soil anomaly
The 2021 program collected 376 soil samples. The 2024 technical report records a maximum
silver-in-soil value of 23.87 ppm and describes the combined geochemical target as roughly
1 km wide by 3.5 km long.
The 2022 IP survey identified a chargeability anomaly spatially associated with the silver-copper
soil anomaly. Four diamond-drill holes were then completed along a north-south drill fence.

Reported drill intervals are downhole core lengths. Downhole surveys were not completed for the
2022 holes, and the cited technical report does not establish true widths for these intervals.
