3 Ion/Dirty Jack Property PROSPECTING REPORT Tom Kennedy November INTRODUCTION This report describes the results of a prospecting program conducted on the Ion/Dirty Jack claim group in Location and Access The I Ion/Dirty Jack group of claims is centered at UTM Coordinates N, E (Fig.1). The property is accessed by traveling Highway 3 approximately 11.5km Southeast of Castlegar, and then taking the Champion creek logging road 1 km to the property boundary Property The Ion/Dirty Jack group of claims is a Ha mineral claim group composed of 3 adjoining claim blocks: Dirty Jack (tenure # ), Dirty Jack 2 (tenure # ) and ION-06 (tenure # ) owned by Tom Kennedy (Fig.2). i Property I oration Figure 1 Property Location Map

Forest cover is a mixture of coniferous and deciduous species of trees with a majority of the property located within areas of re-grown old logging and as well as several freshly logged areas. 40 History of Previous Exploration The Ion/Dirty Jack claims cover an area that has been held under tenure at various times. Prospecting on the property rediscovered a number of old workings; however no historical reference or assessment reports pertaining to the area are known to the author.

5 1.50 Purpose of work The purpose of the 2007 was to prospect newly developed road access and logging blocks in an area of favorable geology within the hanging-wall of the Champion Cr. Fault system GEOLOGY The Ion/Dirty Jack claims are underlain by undifferentiated Rossland Group volcano-sedimentary rocks, which have been intruded by the Jurassic aged Bonnington Pluton (Figure 3). The property covers the hanging wall portion of the Champion Lakes Fault, a major North trending tertiary fault zone. Numerous narrow intrusive dykes ranging from lamprophyre to syenite occur on the property. Regional Geology Map 1:250, PROSPECTING PROGRAM Rocks on the property can be divided into three main types: greenstone dykes, granite/granodiorite, and pendants. Greenstone dykes (lamproids?) are noted across the property, they contain epidote, chlorite, and pyrite, fracturing along their margins is common. These dykes sometimes have pink 5

6 altered feldspars with milled zones. Milled zones sometimes exhibit high level breccias textures, mainly open spaced quartz crystal veins with minor carbonate and limonite/pyrite mineralization. The main Bonnington granite/granodiorite is typically medium to coarse grained, massive weathering with rare pyrite. Three types of pendant were noted. Type one consists of mafic volcanic flows, with flow breccias, augite porhphoblasts, epidote, garnet, pyretic fracturing with minor chalcopyrite. Type two is sediment dominated with siltstone, quartzite, narrow limestone beds, conglomerate, pyretic and calc-silicate alteration is present, narrow pegmatite "veinlets" often pyrite rich are common. The third type is a sediment/volcanic mix. It is pyrite flooded, contains epidote, pyrite fractures up to 5 cm wide, this pendant hosts a mineralized showing called the Ion Zone. Five main mineralized showings were discovered, their locations as well as other prospecting highlights are shown on the included prospecting map. The Dirty Jack showing consists of massive sulphide fractures up to 12 cm wide roughly 70 trending with vertical dips. The fractures are cutting the sediment pendant. Massive sulphides are comprised of Po, Py, ZnS, CuPy. The Ion showing contains crystalline to milky quartz veins cutting a fault zone within the pyretic sediment/volcanic pendant sequence. Mineralization is comprised of disseminated and fracture needle like AsPy, PbS, ZnS, CuPy. The zone is present in outcrop and subcrop in a road ditchline. The massive sulphide pit showing is a series of fractures containing Po/Py and wispy CuPy. It is situated adjacent to a carbonate altered structural zone with sericite, disseminated Py, PbS, ZnS, AsPy and quartz veinlets. The zone is hosted by the sediment dominated pendant. 6

7 The Borrow zone is comprised of quartz carbonate viens with sericite, carbonate alteration, Py, cutting the granite and a schisty pendant unit. A greenstone dyke is also present. Milky/vuggy quartz veins are up to 18 cm wide with Fe carbonate, Py, AsPy, PbS, ZnS, CuPy. The AsPy Hill zone consists of quartz carbonate veinlets with lim/py, AsPy, halos of silicification, Py, AsPy flooding of the wallrock. Veins are hosted within the sediment dominated pendant. There are some massive sulphide fractures and replacements with rare PbS, and ZnS. Pegmatite veinlets with black tourmaline and pods of Po/Py with rare AsPy are present CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prospecting on the Ion/Dirty Jack claim block discovered a number of mineralized showing hosted within pendant sequences. Mineralization consisted of CuPy, Py, Po, AsPy, ZnS, PbS. Alteration associated with these zones was comprised of sericite, carbonate, and silica. At this time a program of detailed soil sampling is recommended to try to identify probable trends of the mineralization where outcrop is poor. Trenching on some of the better mineralized zones should be conducted to assess the structures with regards to near surface widths and grades. 7
