The ALPINE molybdenum showing is in the southwest part of the Shulaps Range, at the headwaters of La Rochelle Creek, approximately 32 kilometres northwest of Lillooet, B.C.

The showing is underlain by schists and phyllites of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex and intruded by syn- to post-tectonic granitic to felsic porphyry of the Eocene Mission Ridge pluton. These rocks are, in turn, structurally overlain by ophiolites of the Permian and older Shulaps Ultramafic Complex.

The Alpine showing is a quartz vein, 2.5 metres wide and approximately 50 metres long, containing molybdenum and weakly anomalous gold and silver values. The adjacent granodiorite host rock is extremely fractured, limonitic-stained and contains chalcopyrite, malachite and azurite.

In 2011, Miocene Metals Ltd. conducted rock, silt and soil sampling on the Shulaps property. Highlights from this rock sampling program includes float sample K880741, which assayed 0.82 per cent copper and 18 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32452).

In 2012, Miocene Metals conducted a program of geochemical soil (112) and rock (20) sampling targeting the La Rochelle area, approximately 1.5 kilometres south of Alpine. The program confirmed the presence of structurally-controlled polymetallic fractures hosted in up to 1 metre wide bull quartz veins along the La Rochelle structural trend (Assessment Report 33353). This structural trend extends 7 kilometres northwest from La Rochelle, including the Alpine, Cub, Lisa Dawn mineral occurrences, the Rex (Zeus) deposit, and potentially further north to the Shulaps showing.
