Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. Clarifies Information about the Morrison Lake Sockeye Salmon
Vancouver BC, November 8, 2012: The Company would like to clarify some information in regards to
the Salmon population in Morrison Lake.
The Morrison Copper/Gold Project is not located within the Skeena River headwaters. The headwaters
of the Skeena River are a subalpine basin in northern BC adjacent to Spatsizi Wilderness Park. The
Morrison Copper/Gold Project is located at the most eastern edge of the Skeena watershed, 160
kilometers from the Skeena River, 65 kilometers east of Smithers, BC, adjacent to Morrison Lake. The
Morrison Lake drains via the Morrison River into the north-eastern arm of the Babine Lake, a 175
kilometers long lake. The Babine Lake drains via the Babine River, a 100 kilometers long river, which
originates at the top of the north-western arm of Babine Lake, and is a tributary to the Skeena River.
The Project footprint, which is 25 square kilometers represents 0.046% of the of the Skeena River
watershed which is 54,400 square kilometers. The direct disturbance would be 11.40 square
kilometers of which, 7.88 square kilometers (69%) would be reclaimed and a 1.75 square kilometers
pond would be formed in the Tailings Storage Facility on closure.
