Capsule Geology

The Lotto Midway showing is located on the south side of an alpine cirque, 7 kilometres west from the head of Hastings Arm, Observatory Inlet, 34.2 kilometres south (173°) of Stewart, B.C.

The Lotto structure has been traced visually an additional two kilometres on trend to the north for a total of 3.5 kilometres, where a spot check grab sample on the ridge crest returned 17.0 grams per tonne silver and 0.1 per cent copper. Lotto Midway is 800m south of Lotto North and xx m north of the Lotto Main showing.

The orogenic class of gold deposit is defined here as syn-tectonic quartz-carbonate veins and wall rock replacement associated with regional-scale faults. Orogenic ores form at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogens. Orebodies are surrounded by carbonate-sericite-pyrite alteration. Au, Ag, Sb and As are enriched in the ore fluids. W, B, Te, Se and Bi may also be enriched in the ores.

The Lotto Midway showing is a quartz vein and associated talus, where several rock samples obtained during J2 Syndicate Holdings Ltd.'s 2016 exploration program on their Golddigger property returned anomalous values in Au, Ag, Cu and Pb (Assessment Report 36903).
