The property lies at the western end of the Nisling Range, within the Tintina Gold Province and covers an area of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization indicative of both intrusion related copper-gold and epithermal gold-silver mineralizing environment.

Detail prospecting has identified a high-grade, east-trending gold zone (HG Zone), defined by strongly anomalous gold in soil response over an 800 meter strike length. Locally derived talus samples returned gold values below detection to 39.8 g/t gold within an approximately 200 meter portion of the anomaly. A map showing the soil and rock sample values and locations can be seen at http://www.tarsis.ca/pdf/WhiteRHGZone.pdf.

In total, 267 select prospecting samples were collected from the White River property during 2010, yielding values ranging from below detection to 39.8 g/t gold, 4 ppm to 8.52% copper and below detection to 1,310 g/t silver. A table of the most significant results is presented below.

Within the HG zone, strongly anomalous gold values are associated with semi-massive arsenopyrite, limonite and argentiferous tetrahedrite. This zone appears to coincide partially with the contact between a hornblende gabbro unit and intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks that are thought to be underlain by Nisling Range granodiorite.

Approximately 1.3 kilometers southwest of the HG zone, the South Zone consists of a semi-continuous west-northwest linear gold in soil anomaly with values ranging from 18 ppb to 170 ppb. The South Zone is approximately one kilometre long and select talus samples returned gold assays ranging from below detection to 0.78 g/t gold. A prominent outcrop within the South Zone features abundant scorodite alteration, indicating the presence of high levels of arsenic. Arsenic in soil values range from 6 ppm to 2,130 ppm.

Preliminary prospecting at a site 4.2 kilometers north of the HG zone collected eleven select float samples with assays ranging from below detection to 0.16 g/t gold.

Preliminary prospecting at a site 8 kilometers east of the HG zone collected 23 select talus samples with assays ranging from below detection to 0.17 g/t gold.

Trace element geochemistry in select rock samples at White River includes anomalous bismuth with values ranging from below detection to 1,585 ppm, antimony with values ranging from below detection to 516 ppm and molybdenum ranging from below detection to 57 ppm.  Several samples with elevated gold values have high levels of tungsten.

In total, 933 soil samples were collected from the property during 2010 on a grid spacing of 100 meters by 100 meters.  Plots of anomalous elements are shown below:

Tarsis intends to offer the White River property for option to enthusiastic exploration companies with technical and financial capabilities.

The property features abundant outcrop, primarily within a north-west facing moderately sloping cirque.  At the northern end of the property, an extensive intrusion of hornblende-rich diorite to granodiorite occurs, in addition to an equigranular chloritically-altered gabbro body.  Magnetite and pyrrhotite are present in the intrusive rocks.  Quartz-carbonate veining is present, primarily in east trending linear recessive zones.  Actinolite and epidote alteration is also visible.  Colliform, bladed and open-space textures within quartz and carbonate veining are indicative of an epithermal environment.  Malachite, azurite and chalcocite have all been detected, along with limonite in this environment.

Elsewhere on the property, siliceous metasedimentary rocks consisting predominantly of chert occur and are intercalated with mafic volcanics.  A number of felsic dykes intrude the metasedimentary and metavolcanic basement rocks.  These dykes range from aplitic to porphyritic (quartz + feldspar) in texture.

Several broad zones of close-spaced fracture sets and veins defined by intense limonitic weathering of primary sulphides are located on ridge crests and within the cirque.  Weathering has created numerous red-brown limonitic and jarosite-rich gossanous zones.  Bennett’s Gossan is one such zone, with a rusty crumbling gossanous outcrop, including a stripe of malachite and yellow secondary sulphate (sulphosalts).

The open-space veining, silicification, brecciation and intense limonite alteration that occurs thoughout the White River property is, visually, quite similar to the styles of structurally controlled mineralization occurring within both the Whitegold project of Kinross Gold Corporation and the Coffee property of Kaminak Gold Corporation.

This is a true grass roots discovery made by Tarsis while carrying out generative exploration focused on porphyry style mineralization. The property has no known historic exploration history.

During 2009, the Yukon Geological Survey and Geological Survey of Canada completed an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over a wide area, including the White River property.  Tarsis utilized this survey, which was a fundamental input into its generative targeting process, along with the Government regional stream sediment database.
