Copper-Gold Porphyry Targets in British Columbia's Prolific Quesnel Terrane
Rimfire has acquired in excess of 330 square kilometres of claims in the Quesnel Trough, central BC, home to the Mt Milligan and Lorraine deposits, and most recently, Serengeti's Kwanika discovery (328 metres of 0.6% copper and 0.7 g/t gold in drilling).
Rimfire's claims lie within Geoscience British Columbia's (GBC) Quesnellia Exploration Strategy (Quest) study area, in central British Columbia. In 2007, GBC conducted $5.75 million in regional airborne magnetics, EM and gravity geophysical and ground geochemical surveys.

Property Status
Rimfire acquired, through staking, a 100% interest in 7 properties covering 330 km2 within the Quesnel Terrane Alkalic Porphyry Belt. Rimfire has an option to earn 100% in the Auddie property subject to a 1% Net Smelter Return.
Geology & Exploration Highlights
Rimfire targeted portions of the Quesnel Trough with high amplitude magnetic anomalies with signatures similar to those of the Kwanika and Mt. Milligan alkalic copper -- gold porphyry deposits. Several of these targets lie in areas with significant glacial cover and represent new blind targets that Rimfire believes will potentially benefit from the interpretation of new geoscience data through the Geoscience BC QUEST survey.
During 2007, Rimfire conducted a detailed helicopter airborne magnetics survey over its' 7 target areas greatly improving the resolution of the magnetic high anomalies on each of the targets. During 2008, Rimfire completed surface reconnaissance programs over all seven target areas. Alteration consistent with porphyry copper -- gold mineralization systems was encountered on three targets including
anomalous copper geochemistry in rocks on two of these targets and anomalous copper and gold geochemistry in soil samples from one target area. The remaining geophysical targets all occur beneath till or young basalt cover.
Opportunity
To participate in the exploration of new geophysical alkalic porphyry targets located within an area of British Columbia with excellent infrastructure and proximity to resource communities.
