3 Introduction The location was selected by R. Orchard, B. Bailey and M. Hall on the basis of the similarity of the geology to the East Bull Lake - Shakespeare and Dunlop gabbros. The apparent correlation between these two intrusive bodies suggested the mineral potential here was favorable. Prospecting was carried out from 1999 to Focus was on determining the geology of this gabbro and examining knowing showings for platinum group element (PGE) mineralization. The partners found the geology on claim S was comparable to that in May township and the Shakespeare - Dunlop geology (see previously filed report). S was staked for the showing. Only Nippissing type diabase was present on this claim. Property Description The property consists of 2 claims on 4 unit and one 2unit S un parented mining claims. They are held by Ron Orchard, Bob Bailey and number. Location and access. The property is located in the SW 1//4 of section 11 and the Wl/2 of the NE 1/4 of section 14 of Salter Township. Both claims are accessible from Hwy. 553, running north from the town of Massey. Regional Geology The regional geology consists of Huronian aged volcanics, gabbros, anorthosite gabbros, and sediments. Underlying these rocks are archean aged granites and gneisses. All are intruded by Nippissing diabase and later dykes. The anorthosite gabbros, the focus of exploration, lie at the contact between the archean basement and Huronian sediments. This intrusive anorthosite gabbro extends easterly from Salter Township to Porter Township. It is apparently equivalent to the "East Bull Lake Gabbro" and Shakespeare - Dunlop gabbros.. It has been the subject of Copper - Nickel exploration in the past by WMC and others. Interest has been recently renewed in these gabbros for the platinum and palladium potential. Two properties, located in Salter Township, were the subject of minor copper production. They are the Hermina and Massey Mines situate in the northern half of the township. These deposits appear to be spatially associated with the Murray Fault and the previously Gabbro and/or Nippissing Diabase. The Murray Fault is a major structural feature in the region. It strikes approximately west-southwest, and is represented by Robertson (GR - 136) as being located at the south boundary of S Local Geology Claim S covers part of a layered anorthosite gabbro equivalent to the Shakespeare - Dunlop and East Bull Lake Gabbros. It is situated between the archean basement (composed of granite and felsic gneisses), and Huronian sediments (Matinenda formation). The sediments are composed mainly of feldspathic quartzites. Robertson

4 (1976) suggests that this gabbro may have been partially eroded before sediments were deposited, implying that the section was originally much thicker. The gabbro is easily identifiable on magnetic maps as a mag high. The claims are within the "Massey Copper Area", recognized for its many copper showings. History of Exploration Air borne mag and EM survey by WMC 1990's Geology mapping and radiometric survey by Kerr Addison in 1976 Drilling and pitting by Lacelle Recent Exploration by Bailey, Orchard and Hall Traverses were run by Orchard Bailey and Hall on the western boundary of claim S The bedrock is a medium to very coarse-grained anorthositic gabbro comparable to that in May Township. (See previously submitted report). Minor chalcopyrite was discovered on this west boundary. The area was stripped to determine its extent. The mineralization is present in a 2 to 6 inch thick hear zone, with pervasive epidote alteration, striking at 70 C. This is same strike as more prominent topographic tows 200 to 300 meters south of the mineralization. These larger low areas may host other shear zones and better mineralization, The Lacelle showing was located and sampled for PGE's. The pits are situate in a eastwest striking dyke, within massive coarse grained granite. The area of the eastern pit appears to be the resident of at least one bear, who obviously frequents the area. The pits are in a fine to medium grained Nippissing Diabase Mineralization is disseminated to massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite over l to 3 feet and contained within the central portion of the dyke. Despite favorable copper assays, there were no anomalous PGE \alues in the samples. However, the showing may be more extensive than what is exposed and warrants further investigation. Several lines of test magnetometer were run over the dyke and showing to determine if they could be distinguished, from the surrounding granite. Results are favorable and it appears that the dyke does exhibit a noticeable magnetic high relative to the surrounding host rock. An APEX II E. M was also used to determine if the mineralization is conductive. Conductivity was noted over the pits, but an even stronger anomaly was located parallel to and about 25 feet north of the pits. Haifa day was spent by the partners and L. Orchard looking for trenches at the south end of the claim with no success. An anorthositic gabbro, visually equivalent to the gabbro on claim S , was located at the south boundary. This raises the possibility that the gabbro is thicker than mapped by Robertson.

5 Recommendations It is noted from the Robertson geology map that the dyke extends the full width of the claim and has at least 4 connecting branches. There is obvious mineralization in the dykes where pitted. Though narrow, there is potential for wider zones in extensions. Test lines show that a magnetometer survey will define the dyke. Such a survey might also define near surface pyrrhotite mineralization. An EM survey is also recommended as it appears the mineralization is responsive to EM instruments. Therefore geologic mapping, mag and EM surveys are recommended for future exploration. The north end of claim S should be examined in detail to determine if the gabbro is thicker than mapped. Consideration should also be given to examination of the larger diabase body at the south west corner of claim S The topographic lows on claim S should be examined as a secondary priority. These potential shear zones may host mineralization to the past producers. Given the size of these producers it does not seem probable that these would be any larger in tonnage.
