Morrison Copper–Gold Project Central B.C.

Advancing Morrison’s copper–gold potential in British Columbia.

Pacific Booker Minerals owns 100% of Morrison, a copper–gold deposit beside Morrison Lake, about 35 km north of Granisle. A Pre-Feasibility Study led by Tetra Tech Canada began in August 2026 and is expected in the first quarter of 2027.

01 The project

A porphyry copper–gold deposit on the east side of Morrison Lake.

Morrison lies in the Babine Lake porphyry copper belt of central British Columbia. Noranda discovered the deposit in 1963. Pacific Booker optioned the property in 1997, agreed to buy it in 2004, and has drilled, engineered and studied it since.

Morrison is at the study stage and does not hold an Environmental Assessment Certificate. The Province refused one in February 2022 and stated that the Environmental Assessment Act allows another proposal based on a new project design. The 2009 Feasibility Study is no longer considered current, so in 2026 the company began rebuilding the technical case.

  1. Discovery. Noranda Exploration finds the Morrison deposit after regional stream sampling.

  2. Feasibility Study. Completed by Wardrop Engineering. No longer considered current.

  3. Certificate refused. The environmental assessment ends. A new project design may be proposed.

  4. New technical work. Technical review, Technical Advisory Board, resource update and Pre-Feasibility Study begin.

  5. Pre-Feasibility Study expected.

02 Location and access

North of Granisle, in the Babine Lake region.

The project sits on the east side of Morrison Lake, on Crown land within the traditional territory of the Lake Babine Nation. Ground in the property area rises from 733 m on the lake shore to 1,380 m on Hearne Hill, all of it below the tree line.

Getting to site

  1. 1Highway 16 to Topley.
  2. 2Highway 118 north for 46 km to Michelle Bay on Babine Lake.
  3. 3Barge to Nose Bay on the east shore, about 15 minutes.
  4. 4Forest service roads to the property, about 48 km north-west of the barge landing.

Power

The 2009 study planned a BC Hydro supply from the Babine Substation near Granisle, using the existing line to the former Bell Mine and a new 138 kV line from there to Morrison. Infrastructure design is part of the current Pre-Feasibility Study.

Setting, access and power as described in the NI 43-101 Technical Report, March 2009, sections 4, 5 and 18.

03 Current activity

A Pre-Feasibility Study is under way.

On August 21, 2026 Pacific Booker engaged Tetra Tech Canada to complete a Pre-Feasibility Study for Morrison under NI 43-101. Members of the Tetra Tech team worked on the 2009 Feasibility Study. The new study builds on that work with an updated resource estimate, current engineering standards and current costs.

What the study covers

  • Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
  • Open pit mine planning
  • Mineral Reserve estimation, if the results support it
  • Metallurgy and process engineering
  • Infrastructure design
  • Tailings and water management
  • Environmental review
  • Capital and operating costs, and financial analysis
