5 SUMMARY The Pilsudski property is located approximately 20 kilometres (km) southeast of Boston Bar, British Columbia, in the New Westminster Mining Division. The property lies south of Uztlius Creek (a tributary of the Anderson River) at an elevation ranging from 600 to 1000 metres. A well-maintained logging road (Uztlius Creek FSR) which starts 1 km south of Boston Bar cuts across the property. Within Pilsudski claims there are several old logging roads which are overgrown by underbrush and are not usable at the present time. The property is comprised of three claims totaling hectares; they are 100 percent owned by Alojzy A. Walus of Surrey, BC. A significant portion of the Pilsudski property is covered by the Highland South Copper (HSC) anomaly (MINFILE No: 092HNW996), a large copper-molybdenum soil anomaly which covers approximately 2.2 square kilometres. Values as high as 3150 ppm copper and 376 ppm molybdenum were obtained from the soils comprising the anomaly. Large portion of the anomaly is most likely residual in nature as indicated by the fact that it occupies the crest of a high, prominent ridge and because copper and molybdenum values increase with depth. Part of the anomaly located at lower elevations could be supported by hydromorphic downslope migration of copper and molybdenum from its source located along the top of the ridge. To date, due to very limited rock exposure, no bedrock source of this prominent anomaly was found. The HSC anomaly may represent a surface expression of the volcanic type coppermolybdenum porphyry system or a related mineralization which exists at depth. Mineralization may be related to the manto-type mineralization which has been frequently found to accompany many porphyry systems. This interpretation is supported by the following facts: 1) The geochemistry and the large-size of the anomaly. 2) The HSC anomaly is centered on a small intrusion of porphyritic rhyodacite-dacite; a similar association is common in many known copper-molybdenum porphyry deposits. 3) The presence of a sulphides cemented rhyolite breccia pipe located 1.2 km south of the property southern boundary (DUC showing - MINFILE No. 092HNW049). A 67 metres sample taken across the pipe returned 0.09% Cu and 0.17% MoS2. Such pipes are common in many porphyry systems. 3

6 The 2017 exploration program on the Pilsudski property consisted of geological mapping supplemented by the microscopic description of six rock samples. The geological map produced during this program could provide a useful guide for future exploration to find a bedrock source of the HSC anomaly. During the program a sub-outcrop of strongly altered feldspar porphyritic latite with trace to 0.5% chalcopyrite was found. The Pilsudski property has great potential to host porphyry style copper-molybdenum mineralization. To date, very little exploration work has been completed on the property. To the author s knowledge no geophysical surveys, trenching or drilling has been done on the HSC anomaly. For the next exploration program an IP geophysical survey is recommended preceded by clearing the old overgrown roads. The cost of the program is estimated at $35,000. 4

7 INTRODUCTION Location and Access The Pilsudski property is located approximately 20 kilometres (km) southeast of Boston Bar, British Columbia, in the New Westminster Mining Division. It is centered on coordinates N and W (UTM coordinates: mE and mN, NAD83 Zone 10). The property lies south of Uztlius Creek (a tributary of the Anderson River) at an elevation ranging from 600 to 1000 metres (m). A well-maintained logging road (Uztlius Creek FSR) which starts 1 km south of Boston Bar cuts across the property. Within Pilsudski claims there are several old logging roads which are overgrown by underbrush and are not usable at the present time. The claims location is shown on Figure 1. Physiography and Topography The property is dominated by a prominent NE-SE oriented ridge. It rises from about 600 metres elevation at the main Uztlius logging road to just over 1000 metres at its crest. Two major creeks are within the property boundary. Almost all property is covered by mature forest. Weather conditions are typical of the British Columbia Coast Mountains being generally wet and relatively mild. Average monthly temperature ranges from approximately -5 to - 10 degrees Celsius in winter to +15 to 20 degrees Celsius in summer. Annual rain precipitation usually varies between 900 and 1,000 mm at lower elevations. Considerable snow can be expected from October to May. Property Ownership The property is comprised of three claims totaling hectares; they are 100 percent owned by Alojzy A. Walus of Surrey, BC.

10 Previous Work 1969 The area presently covered by Pilsudski property was originally staked as a part of Modbar claim group south of Uztlius Creek, first with 70 claims later expanded to 277 claims Quintana minerals Corp. staked the CUC1024 group and carried out a geological program. Previously, five diamond drill holes totaling feet were drilled just south of the property under the supervision of J.H. Montgomery, P. Eng. In the assessment reports there is no mention about drilling results Utah mines ltd, using JMT Services conducted a reconnaissance geochemical soil and rock sampling program over the property. Cu and Mo anomalous soils in the area presently covered by Pilsudski property were discovered. Initial soil sampling yielded highly anomalous values in copper of up to 2900 ppm and molybdenum of up to 41 ppm (Livingstone K., 1980, AR 8766) JMT Services conducted a major soil sampling program. Most of the samples assayed more than 200 ppm copper with the high of 2400 ppm JMT Services extended the grid to the east and north to establish the limits of the Cu-Mo soil anomaly. A total of 54 soil samples were collected, which were run for Cu and Mo. The results were even higher compare to the previous survey. Copper values were up to 3150 ppm and molybdenum up to 115 ppm (Christie J., 1982, AR 10876). In 1981 and 1982 a total of 230 soil samples were collected of which more than half assayed over 200 ppm copper, 21 samples assayed more than 1000 ppm of copper Nicola Prospecting & Mining Syndicate carried out a program of geological mapping and geochemical sampling in order to assess the gold potential of the property Alojzy Walus conducted a small exploration program to confirm and explain the origin of the HSC soil anomaly. Altogether 42 soil samples supplemented by 7 rock samples were collected. Assays of soil samples collected during the program confirmed the existence of Cu-Mo anomaly outlined by the previous surveys. The highest soil assays obtained in the 2003 survey were 2306 ppm for copper and 376 ppm molybdenum (Walus A, 2004, AR 27391) Natan Resources completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling over the HSC soil anomaly as well as adjacent areas. The 2012 sampling results allowed expansion of the previously delineated HSC soil anomaly (see Christie J., 1982, 8

11 GEOLOGY AR 10876) by approximately 400 meters to the north, 300 meters to the west and 200 meters to the south (see Mastalerz M., 2012, AR 33780). Regional Geology Reginal geology of this area is based on the British Columbia Geological Survey Open File published in 1994 by Bellefontaine, K., Alldrick, D. and Desjardins, P.J. The area is underlain by Cretaceous aged pelitic sediments assigned to the Pasayten Group, which may be a non-marine facies equivalent of the upper part of the Jackass Mountain Group. The former group comprises sandstone, conglomerate, argillite and minor tuff occurring in a north-northwest trending belt extending across the entire 92H map area. These rocks are bound to the west by the Chuwanten fault and sediments belonging to the Jurassic Dewdney Creek Formation of the Ladner Group and to the east by the Pasayten fault and plutonic rocks of the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous Eagle Plutonic Complex. Local, Early Tertiary stocks of intermediate composition intrude the sediments. Local Geology The Pilsudski property features very few outcrops. Almost all of them are concentrated along the old overgrown roads. Description of the local geology is based mostly on author s observations during the 2017 mapping program and to lesser extent on observations of other geologists who worked in this area in previous years. A geological map of the property based on the author s 2017 work is presented on Figure 3. For better correlation with the geology map published by the British Columbia Geological Survey (Bellefontaine, K, et al, 1994) the author used the same lithological designations. The area presently covered by the Pilsudski property is underlain by Cretaceous aged sediments of the Pasayten Group (KP). They include conglomerate, greywacke, sandstone and mudstone. In the center of the property there is a large body of Paleogene age quartz-eye porphyritic rhyodacite to dacite (ETg-1). Except strongly resorped quartz phenocrysts these rocks also contain feldspar phenocrysts (not readily visible in the field). Combined phenocrysts content ranges from 15 to 30%. Microscopic descriptions of 2 samples collected from this lithological unit are included in Appendix I. Within rhyodacitedacite there is a small intrusion of feldspar porphyritic latite (ETg-2). Locally, it contains trace to minor (<1.0%) chalcopyrite (see description of sample 118 in Appendix I). In the eastern part of the property there is a mid-cretaceous intrusion of granite to granodiorite (MKgr). In the north-eastern corner of the property there are Permian to Early Jurassic 9

12 intrusive rocks which on the BC Geological Survey map (Bellefontaine, K, et al, 1994) are called dioritic intrusive rocks (PJdr). Microscopic examination of 2 samples from this location revealed that except diorite there are also intrusions of subvolcanic andesite and dolerite (see descriptions of samples 163 and 165 in Appendix-I). Locally, intrusions of rhyodacite-dacite and granite-granodiorite are cut by feldspar porphyry dikes and a small breccia pipe (Bellamy J., 1984, AR 13283). Sedimentary rocks of Pasayten Group and to lesser degree other rocks from this are area variably horfelsed. Mineralization Highland South Copper (HSC) soil anomaly The Highland South Copper anomaly (MINFILE No: 092HNW996) is a large coppermolybdenum soil anomaly which covers a significant portion of the Pilsudski property. In the previous assessment reports the anomaly was referred to as the Northern Zone. The solid, consistent core of this anomaly has roughly ellipsoidal shape (1.8 km by 1.2 km) with its longer axis oriented northeast-southwest and occupies an area of approximately 2.0 square km. Total area of the anomaly covers approximately 2.2 square km (Mastalerz M., 2012, AR 33780). Values as high as 3150 ppm copper and 376 ppm molybdenum were obtained from the soils comprising the anomaly. In 2003, several soils samples were collected approximately 50 cm deeper than regular soil samples. In almost all instances these samples recorded significant increases in copper and molybdenum values compare to corresponding regular soil samples (Walus A., 2004, AR 27391). Mineralization (bedrock) Most observations concerning mineralization encountered in the area of present-day Property comes from the early geological reports by Dircks (Dircks N., 1975, AR 5742) and Bellamy (Bellamy J., 1984, AR 13283). Within rhyodacite-dacite intrusion as well as feldspar porphyry dikes which cut it, there occurs a sparse disseminated and fracture pyrite. Generally, pyrite is the most abundant where fracturing is the most intense. Locally, it reaches 2 to 5% of the rock volume. Narrow sericite envelopes are occasionally developed on pyrite-filled fractures. Fracture pyrite is commonly strongly oxidized to goethite. Rare traces of both fracture and disseminated chalcopyrite can be spotted in the areas on intense fracturing within rhyolite-dacite, feldspar porphyry as well as granodiorite. A small-size breccia pipe encountered in the area of the present day claim No was reported to contain approximately 1% fracture pyrite within sericite envelopes (Dircks N., 1975, AR 5742). Pyrite is commonly replaced by goethite. The hornfelsed rocks at the very contact with the rhyolite porphyry contain up to 10% pyrite as both fracture-fillings 10

13 and minor disseminations. Chalcopyrite with minor malachite and chalcocite were reported to occur in association with pyrite locally, within the host of flow-banded quartzeye porphyry rhyolite. Dircks (1975) noted that disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite show a preference for certain flow units within the rhyolite. Minor molybdenite has been reported from stockwork quartz veins hosted in rhyodacite-dacite (Walus, 2004). During the 2017 mapping program a sub-outcrop of strongly altered feldspar porphyritic latite with trace to 0.5% chalcopyrite was found. Rock Sampling The first reference to rock geochemical sampling on the Pilsudski property can be found in assessment report No from That year geologist John R. Bellamy visited the HSC Zone and sampled rock exposures along the old roads. The sample sites were selected from zones of stringer quartz stockwork, veining, silicification, alteration and sulphide mineralization. Sulphides were represented exclusively by pyrite; there was also some specular hematite. The eight samples were analyzed for silver and gold, which yielded a high of 0.7 ppm for silver and 45 ppb for gold. In the assessment reports there is no mention of any sampling done over the small breccia pipe. In 2003, the author collected 2 bedrock samples which returned low copper and molybdenum values WORK PROGRAM The 2017 work program on the Pilsudski property consisted of geological mapping supplemented by the microscopic description of six rock samples. The geological map of the property based on the author s 2017 work is presented on Figure 3. Detailed description of the property s geology is included in chapter Local Geology. Microscopic description of the samples is included in Petrographic Report (Appendix I). Location of petrographic samples are shown on Figure 3. 11

15 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS The Highland South Copper (HSC) anomaly is a large, intense, coincident coppermolybdenum soil anomaly with values as high as 3,150 ppm copper and 376 ppm molybdenum. Background values are from 3 to 30 ppm for copper and <1 ppm for molybdenum. The consistent, solid core of the anomaly occupies approximately 2.0 square km (Mastalerz M., 2012, AR 33780). Large portion of the anomaly is most likely residual in nature as indicated by the fact that it occupies the crest of a high, prominent ridge and because copper and molybdenum values increase with depth. Parts of the anomaly located at lower elevations could be supported by hydromorphic downslope migration of copper and molybdenum from its source located along the top of the ridge. To date, due to very limited rock exposure, no bedrock source of this prominent anomaly was found. The HSC anomaly may represent a surface expression of the volcanic type coppermolybdenum porphyry system or a related mineralization which exists at depth. Mineralization may be related to the manto-type mineralization which has been frequently found to accompany many porphyry systems (McMillan, 1991). This interpretation is supported by the following facts: 1) The geochemistry and the large-size of the anomaly. 2) The HSC anomaly is centered on a small intrusion of quartz-eye porphyritic rhyodacite -dacite; a similar association is common in many known copper-molybdenum porphyry deposits. 3) The presence of a sulphides cemented rhyolite breccia pipe located 1.2 km south of the property southern boundary (DUC showing - MINFILE No. 092HNW049). A 67 metres sample taken across the pipe which carry 5 to 10 % pyrite plus minor chalcopyrite and chalcocite returned 0.09% Cu and 0.17% MoS2. Such pipes are common in many porphyry systems. The 2017 exploration program on the Pilsudski property consisted of geological mapping supplemented by the microscopic description of six rock samples. The geological map produced during this program could provide a useful guide for future exploration to find a bedrock source of the HSC anomaly. A sub-outcrop of strongly altered feldspar porphyritic latite (see designation ETg-2 on Figure 3) with trace to 0.5% chalcopyrite was found during the program. The Pilsudski property has great potential to host porphyry style copper-molybdenum mineralization. To date, very little exploration work has been completed on the property. 13

16 To the author s knowledge no geophysical surveys, trenching or drilling has been done on the HSC anomaly. RECOMMENDATIONS AND BUDGET For the next exploration program an IP geophysical survey is recommended preceded by clearing the old overgrown roads. Estimated Cost of the Program Clearing the old roads.$15,00 A total of 5 line kilometers of IP survey. $20,000 REFERENCES Bellefontaine, K., Alldrick, D. and Desjardins, P.J., Mid Coast (all or parts of 92F, G, J, K, L, M, N; 93D; 102P; 103A).

20 APPENDIX I PETROGRAPHIC REPORT 18

21 PETROGRAPHIC REPORT PILSUDSKI PROPERTY Report by: Alex Walus, P. Geo Surrey, BC January 07, 2018 This report is based on microscopic description of six rock samples collected during the 2017 mapping program on Pilsudski property. All samples were stained by sodium cobaltinitrite for K- feldspar identification. Location of the samples are shown on Figure 3. Sample # Quartz plagioclase porphyritic dacite Composition: Quartz phenocrysts 15-17% Plagioclase phenocrysts 5-7% Mika phenocrysts 1-2% Quartz (groundmass) 30-40% Plagioclase(groundmass) 30-45% Sericite/muscovite 10-15% Pyrite <1% The rock consists of quartz, plagioclase and minor mica phenocrysts set in a fine-grained groundmass dominated by quartz and plagioclase. Quartz phenocrysts occur as anhedral to subhedral, often partly resorped grains mm across. Plagioclase forms subhedral to euhedral grains 0.4 to 1.0 mm in size. They are moderately to strongly altered to sericite/muscovite. Mika forms subhedral to euhedral grains up to 1.5 mm long; they are completely replaced by secondary muscovite and opaque minerals. Groundmass is composed of roughly equal amounts of quartz and plagioclase grains. They range in size from 0.03 to 0.1 mm. Pyrite form few euhedral grains mm across. Sample # Strongly altered porphyritic latite, weak biotite hornfels Composition Plagioclase phenocrysts 10-15% Kaolinite 2-3% K-feldspar phenocrysts 2-3% Secondary biotite 2-3% K-feldspar (groundmass) 15-20% Pyrite 3-5% Plagioclase (groundmass) 10-15% Chalcopyrite % Chlorite 15-20% Quartz <0.5% Sericite/muscovite 10-15% Ti-oxides % Carbonate 10-15% 19

22 The sample contains 12-18% moderately to completely sericite lesser kaolinite altered plagioclase and K-feldspar grains. The rock also contains several chlorite-carbonate pseudomorphs 0.5 to 1.5 mm long which possibly represent completely altered biotite phenocrysts. These phenocrysts are set in a fine-grained groundmass composed of K-felspar, plagioclase, chlorite, carbonate, sericite, secondary biotite and sulphides. Chlorite contains very little iron, it is mostly colorless and occasionally pale green. Quartz form few small anhedral grains which tend to associated with pyrite. Secondary biotite occurs as small anhedral to subhedral grains disseminated throughout the sample. It originated as a result of hornfels formation. Pyrite occurs as disseminated subhedral to anhedral grains ranging in size from 0.01 to 1.0 mm across. Chalcopyrite forms scattered anhedral grains and patches ranging in size from 0.01 to 0.7 mm. They are associated with pyrite, chlorite and carbonates. Sample # Granite, moderate biotite alteration Composition Plagioclase 70-80% Quartz 10-15% Mica 3-5% Kaolinite 5-7% Secondary biotite 5-7% Sericite 3-5% Carbonate 1-2% Hematite a few grains The rock is dominated by interlocking plagioclase grains 2-4 mm in size. Thy are moderately to strongly kaolinized and to lesser degree sericitizied. Quartz occurs mostly as interstitial anhedral grains up to 1 mm in size. Mica forms subhedral crystals 1 to 3 mm long which are completely replaced by sericite, secondary biotite and opaque minerals. Secondary biotite forms stockworklike network of fractures as well as small scattered patches. Hematite forms a few anhedral grains. The rock is cut by carbonate-biotite veinlets. Sample # 134 Quartz-feldspar porphyritic rhyodacite, weak biotite hornfels. Composition: Quartz phenocrysts 10-15% K-feldspar phenocrysts 10-15% Plagioclase phenocrysts 2-3% Quartz (groundmass) 20-25% K-feldspar (groundmass) 15-20% Plagioclase(groundmass) 10-15% Sericite/muscovite 10-15% Opaque 2-3% 20

23 The rock consists of quartz, K-feldspar and plagioclase phenocrysts set in a fine-grained groundmass dominated by K-feldspar, plagioclase and quartz. Quartz phenocrysts occur as anhedral, often resorped grains 0.5 to 2 mm across. K-feldspar and plagioclase phenocrysts form subhedral to euhedral grains 0.5 to 3 mm in size. They are moderately to strongly altered to sericite/muscovite and biotite. Secondary biotite forms small defused patches composed of very small biotite grains. Groundmass is composed of mosaic of anhedral to subhedral interlocking grains of quartz, K-feldspar and plagioclase. They range in size from 0.02 to 0.1 mm across. Sample # Diabase Composition: Plagioclase 70-75% Carbonate 10-15% Chlorite 7-10% Secondary biotite 2-3% Opaque 3-5% The rock is dominated by plagioclase laths displaying ophitic texture which is characteristic of diabase. They are mm long. The rock contains 10-15% chlorite-carbonate pseudomorphs after augite? Carbonate form scattered irregular patches 0.4 to 0.8 mm in size. Sample # Hornfelsed plagioclase-biotite(?) porphyritic subvolcanic andesite Composition: Plagioclase phenocrysts 15-20% Biotite (?) phenocrysts 3-5% Plagioclase (groundmass) 70-75% Secondary biotite 10-15% Sericite/muscovite 2-3% Kaolinite 2-3% Carbonate 1-2% Hematite 1-2% The sample is composed of plagioclase and biotite (?) phenocrysts set in a fine-grained groundmass dominated by plagioclase. Plagioclase phenocrysts occur as subhedral to euhedral grains 2 to 5 mm in size. They are weakly to moderately sericitizied and kaolinizied. Biotite phenocrysts occur as subhedral grains 0.5 to 1.0 mm long. They are completely replaced by sericite/muscovite, biotite, opaque minerals and minor carbonates. Groundmass is dominated by anhedral plagioclase grains ranging in size from 0.02 to 0.2 mm. They are moderately altered to sericite. The rock was hornfelsed what led to the formation of secondary biotite which occurs as diffused patches composed of extremely fine-grained biotite crystals. 21
