Barnes Creek (Holmes Lake)

The Barnes Creek Project area overlies 26 contiguous mining claims covering 5262 hectares, located in southern British Columbia. The claims are owned by a prospecting syndicate and are currently under option to Columbia Yukon Explorations Inc. The property is located approximately 70 kilometres east southeast of Vernon. Access to the property is by well-maintained logging roads.

The only previous exploration on the property has been very early stage cursory geochemical surveys including limited stream sediment sampling. Many of these surveys identified gold in the surficial environment and recognized that sources for the gold probably existed somewhere in the drainage basins. For various reasons these previous operators did not persist in their exploration efforts.

The claims are underlain by sedimentary and volcanic rocks belonging to the Upper Triassic Slocan Group and Jurassic Nicola Group respectively. Supracrustal rocks are intruded by Cretaceous and Jurassic intrusions. Gold and silver bearing quartz veins have been discovered in both sedimentary rocks and feldspar porphyries.

Bonanza Ledge

The Bonanza Ledge, for which the Company intends to commission a pre-feasibility study in 2008, is a gold deposit on the southwest flank of Barkerville Mountain, about 2 km northwest of the Barkerville historic town site. It is stratigraphically bounded by the Goldfinch Fault to the northwest and the Waoming Fault to the southeast.

The deposit was discovered by International Wayside Gold Mines in 2000 and is a type of mineralization that had never before been identified in the Camp. A resource of 67,303 ounces of gold (measured and indicated) and an additional 15,296 inferred (all at a 0.1 oz/t cutoff) has been identified at Bonanza Ledge that is mineable by open pit methods (these figures exclude mineralization that lies outside the boundaries of the proposed open pit and most of the known mineralization associated with the BC Vein in the hanging wall). International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. completed a 10,000 tonne bulk sample at Bonanza Ledge in 2004, and with the grade confirmed, initiated permitting under the B.C. Mines Act.

Cariboo Gold Field Projects

TIEX Inc. Retains approximately 247,000 hectares of mineral tenures that is prospective to gold deposits similar to the QR (Cross Lake), Fraser Gold (Hawthorne) and Spanish Mountain (Skygold) properties. The Cariboo Gold Fields, second in Canada only to the Klondike in size and production, are currently being explored by more than twenty companies that employ up to date exploration technology. Technical studies have expanded the search to all parts of the Cariboo District where highly prospective black shales and phyllites of the "Quesnel Terrane"occur in deformed and metamorphosed sedimentary formations. This terrane is also perspective for volcanoclastic hosted hydrothermal gold vein systems and porphyry deposits, such as the nearby Mount Polly mine. The TIEX Inc. tenures were selected in order to acquire areas where such formations are known to occur.

Cariboo Gold Project

The Cariboo Gold Project is a proposed open pit mine on Cow Mountain within the Rainbow, Sanders and Pinkerton Zones, which are centered on a large knoll on Cow Mountain.

These zones were discovered by the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mining Company, and underground mining was undertaken mainly in the 1930s. A current (2006) resource of 430,885 ounces of gold indicated and 90,936 ounces inferred has been identified in accordance with NI 43-101 standards (at a 0.02 oz/t cutoff). Permitting was initiated in 2000 under the B.C. Environmental Assessment Act and was temporarily suspended when the Bonanza Ledge discovery was made. Permitting was re-initiated in 2005. Exploration drilling is planned for 2007 to identify additional resources and the preliminary open pit mine design will be refined to incorporate the 2007 drill results.

G-South

The Ahbau Gold Zone is known since the 1950's and explored from the 1960's. Gold bearing sulphide veins are the target of interest. Mineralization consists of fault, fracture and shear zone controlled quartz-calcite veins and breccia zones. Veins locally contain 70 % sulphides, principally pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite in 30 % gangue of quartz and calcite. Faults and fractures commonly trend north and northwest. North trending structures dip moderately to steeply west and northwest trending faults tend to dip steeply. Gold values show little relationship to the proportion of sulphides. The Discovery Zone trends northeast and dips northwest moderately (Newton, D., 1988). (more...)

Homestake Ridge

Drilling at Bravo’s 100% owned Homestake Ridge property encountered “Eskay Creek” style gold
mineralization (10.2 Metres of 15.7 g/t gold).  NI43-101 InferredResource - 900,000 oz/gold.

Extensive approx. $3.0 million multi-rig, +7,500metre drill program underway
with excellent infrastructure, access and power being developed

The 100% owned Homestake Ridge project includes 14 claims for 116 units (2,725 hectares) and is located within the Skeena Mining Division of northwest British Columbia, 35 km southeast of Stewart.
Bravo has begun an aggressive drilling program of approximately 7,500 metres designed to further expand and evaluate the existing resource and to develop resources at several exploration areas. The summer multi-rig drill program will test extensions of the deposit, particularly to the northwest and southeast. Several holes will also explore for possible bonanza-grade feeder faults beneath the known stratabound mineralization.

In addition to the Main Homestake zone, additional targets have been identified along the mineralized horizon for over 3,000 metres of strike length. Two such targets, the Homestake Silver and Vanguard Gold zones, returned encouraging results from initial drilling during 2007 and will be further tested by drilling in 2008.

The Vanguard Gold zone, the Homestake Silver zone and the northwest extension of the Main zone are significant as they highlight the district-wide mineral potential of the Homestake Ridge project. Several other target zones have been identified, including the Vanguard Copper zone, where historical sampling of high-grade surface exposures in altered volcanic rock returned assays from chip and channel samples grading from 4.4% to 13.4% copper, 119 g/t to 296 g/t silver and 0.2 g/t to 3.8 g/t gold.  An initial drill test of this zone is planned during the 2008 season.

Mouse Mountain

The Mouse Mountain Property is a well developed target area with excellent data reporting on a long work history. The property has four known mineral occurrences spread along a 1500 meter long, north northwest trending zone on the northeast side of Mouse Mountain (Figure 14). The most significant prospect, the Valentine Zone, was drilled with 14 percussion holes by Bethlehem Copper in 1970. Quesnel Mines Ltd. stripped a part of the prospect in 1987 and sampled trenches. Teck Corporation completed the most substantive work at Mouse Mountain immediately after this. They focused on targets developed by Quesnel Mines, Placer Dome and others. Their work includes diamond drilling the "high grade" and Valentine zones and other targets and extensive ground geophysical work on three grids. (more...)

Mucho Oro Zone

The Mucho Oro Zone is located southeast of the Bonanza Ledge and Waoming Fault on Barkerville Mountain. This zone was discovered by International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. in 2006 and is geologically similar to Bonanza Ledge. A total of 31 drill holes were completed in 2006. Further drilling is planned in 2007 with the intention of providing the basis for a resource estimate.

Snapjack Zone

The Snapjack Zone is located on Island Mountain southwest of the Island Mountain Mine that was operated by Newmont Mining Corporation from the early 1930s into the 1950s. The Snapjack Zone was discovered by early prospectors and there are a number of short adits in this zone that were developed mainly between the 1880s and 1930s. Some exploration drilling was undertaken by Island Mountain Gold Mines Ltd. from 1999 through 2005. The zone hosts gold in quartz veins in the Rainbow stratigraphic unit. It is anticipated that Bonanza Ledge style mineralization may exist in the adjacent BC and Lowhee Units and further drilling is planned to locate and assess these rock units.

Storie Moly

The Storie Moly Project is located near the former Cassiar mine townsite in northwest British Columbia, Canada. For 2007, Columbia Yukon Explorations Inc. intends to proceed with an aggressive drill program of up to 40,000 metres to further test known mineralization along strike structural and geophysical targets An IP geophysical survey conducted in 1980 traces the known mineralized zone and its interpreted projection 400 metres to the east beyond the historical drill holes.The X-Fault to the south of the drilling has been trenched and contains similar molybdenite mineralization. The Company believes, from the work completed, that the overall size of the resource may be significantly larger than the historical resource.

Geology

The Storie deposit is located within the felsic intrusive phases of a late Cretaceous stock near the eastern margin of the Cassiar Batholith. Intrusive phases include a coarse-grained megacrystic quartz monzonite containing zones of finer-grained porphyritic to equigranular quartz monzonite with gradational contacts and quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes and stock. Mineralization occurs as sheet-like bodies gently dipping to the northwest.The control for the higher grade mineralization is the presence of shears parallel to the Crone Fault. The Storie deposit represents a 150 to 200 metre thick mineralized zone within and above the Crone Fault. The Crone Fault is a major northeast trending fault which dips 45 to 60 degrees to the northwest. The molybdenite mineralized zone has been traced from surface down to at least 336 metres in depth.  The deposit is open along strike to the east and west and to depth.

Molybdenite occurs as selvages along quartz a d quartz-pyrite-bearing fracture , as smear or disseminations along fractures, and as disseminations mainly in quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes and stock.

Past 12 Month Performance

The Company’s 2006 exploration program of 5,000 metres of core drilling was designed to twin historical holes and give a level of confidence such that the new drill holes and historical holes could be used to calculate a NI 43-101 compatible min­eral resource. The Company engaged Watts, Griffis and McOuat, Consulting Geologists and Engineers of Toronto, Ontario, to calcu­late a new resource in accordance with NI 43-101 standards.

2007 Program

Watts Griffis and McOuat Limited prepared a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource estimate for the Storie molybdenum deposit using 38 drill holes, from drilling programs completed in 1979, 1980 and 2006. Using a cutoff of 0.035% Mo, a bulk rock density of 2.6 g/cm³, a maximum open pit mining depth of 325 metres and an assumed 1.5 to 1 waste to ore stripping ratio, the Storie deposit has been estimated to contain an Inferred Mineral Resource of 101.59 Mt grading 0.067% Mo.

The Storie Property has considerable exploration potential. The proposed 2007 drill program of up to 40,000 metres aims to upgrade the resource classification with infill drilling, to test the potential increase in the size of the resource along strike, and to explore south and north of the deposit. An IP geophysical survey of approximately 58 line-kilometres is planned to be conducted over and around the deposit. To date, the Company has completed 51 drill holes on the Storie Property for a total of 18,000 metres. The Company currently has four drills operating on the property and anticipates drilling up to 40,000 metres in 2007.

The 2007 drill program is on schedule and similar molybdenite mineralization is present to that encountered during the 2006 drilling program. The 2007 drilling program has extended the mineralized zone 125 metres east and the zone remains open. Two of the drills are focussed on infill drilling.

Metallurgical Testing

A large diameter core sample will be taken from the deposit for metallurgical testing, to assess the potential for acid rock drainage and metal leaching and for comparison of grade between NQ and HQ core sizes. This information will be used in a pre-feasibility study anticipated to start early next year. The second year of baseline environmental studies is now underway.
