About the Mount Milligan North Property
The Mount Milligan North Property comprises 26 contiguous mineral tenures totaling 8,390 hectares and is located approximately 165 kilometres northwest of Prince George, British Columbia. The Mount Milligan North Property is accessed by Germansen North Forest Service Road 112 kilometres from Fort St. James and then easterly along well-used logging roads and a network of former haul roads. The nearby Mount Milligan copper-gold deposit currently is being developed by Thompson Creek Metals Co. Inc. On the basis of preliminary evaluation work by the previous owner, including soil geochemical surveys, Doubleview and its technical advisers believe that the Mount Milligan North property exhibits geologic characteristics similar to those present at the Mount Milligan mine. However, Doubleview has not verified the information on the Mount Milligan mine and the information is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Mount Milligan North Property. A program to further explore the property is planned and will commence immediately.
Erik A. Ostensoe, P. Geo, an independent consulting geologist, is Doubleview’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, with respect to the Mount Milligan North property and has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
