The Empress molybdenum prospect outcrops on the crest of a broad west-trending ridge separating the headwaters of Empress Creek to the northwest from Shinnish Creek to the south. The Empress prospect covers a 730 X 360 meter area (elongated north-south) and consists of widespread, low-grade molybdenum (and copper-gold) bearing sulphide mineralization hosted in Middle Jurassic age, porphyritic biotite-hornblende quartz monzonite of the Osprey Lake Batholith. The Empress occurrence is classified as a Mo (Cu-Au) porphyry characterized by disseminated, fracture filling and quartz vein sulphide mineralization. Significant minerals include molybdenite, pyrite and chalcopyrite with accessory and minor quartz, K-feldspar, sericite, chlorite, kaolinite, and magnetite. Pyrite and molybdenite occur as disseminations and veinlets, and in quartz stringers in a north trending zone. Magnetite and increased K-feldspar is associated with fracture filling mineralization.In 1968, Anaconda Canada Ltd. outlined anomalous stream sediment from the upper Empress Creek area. Follow-up work included soil samples, trenches, seismic geophysics, and 1,122 meters (3,681 feet) of percussion drilling. A summary of significant intercepts from the 15 percussion drill holes Anaconda drilled in 1981 are listed below:

Geochemical results reference: EMPR Assessment Report 10,434, Appendix 2
A comparison of % Mo geochemical results from 2007 diamond drill holes (07-EMP-1 to 3), and highlights from 1981 percussion drill holes suggest that recovery of molybdenite mineralization significantly increases with core drilling (diamond drilling) as opposed to percussion drilling (where water has a tendency to rinse away molybdenite). Management plans to collar a diamond drill at the location of percussion drill hole 81-9 in Spring, 2008. Results from diamond drill holes 07-EMP-4 to 9 have not been reported yet. When geochemical analysis is complete, drill holes 07-EMP-4 to 9 will be reported. Andris Kikauka, P.Geo., is the qualified person responsible for reporting Empress project geochemical analysis of drill hole samples.
