Very limonitic soil with anomalous arsenic (155ppm) and\nanomalous gold (45 ppb) was encountered under a blow down at one\nsample station.\n \n \n Three anomalous gold in soil samples occur at the south end of the\ngrid south of the creek.  The 748 ppb location was visited and the\nsoil hole located.  All of the material in the hole and nearby was\nrounded fine and coarse float.  The two 68 ppb Au samples both occur\nnear creek and gullies.  It appears that these samples are situated\nin river gravels and are probably alluvial in origin.\n \n \n \n The Hedgehog Project, which is fully permitted, is\nlocated approximately 12\n \n kilometres\n \n north of the\ncommunity of Barkerville, BC.  Exploration models a...
