3 #1 TRENCH The #1 Trench was dug in low country and the backhoe had only taken a few bucketfulls when water problems were encountered. I feel that the little work that was done here is not worth recording. OP90-372

4 #2 Zone The #2 zone was found by prospecting and further traced using a Cat backhoe. This trench was dug 8 feet deep, 50 feet long and 15 feet wide. The mineral noted in the vein was pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrohotite. The host rock consisted of a very fine grained felsic unit in which numerous quartz viening occures. Pyrrohotite is the most abundant mineral, but in places pyrite is also quite heavy. The chalcopyrite is very finely disseminated and the minor quantity gave low assays. This zone was also assayed for gold but returned poor values. This unit is approximatly 12 feet wide and strikes east-west and is 500 feet south of No. l post.

5 #5 Zone The #3 zone is 15 feet west and 10 feet south of the #2 zone. This was found by using the excavator. The vein when exposed was four feet across and was covered with rust, After blasting the zone it turned out to be a blue-grey quartz with chlorite banding and fuchite. Very fine pyrite and chalcopyrite was scattered throughout the width of the vein. Three samples were taken from different areas. Although samples (1) and (3) were low, sample (2) returned a.0^-6 in gold. This also has an east-west strike and is 500 feet south of North Boundary and is 15 feet west of #2 trench. ' GOLD Number 3 Zone /tG OP90-372

6 #U Zone The #4 zone was found using the excavator. It is located 30 feet north of the #3 vein. It is striking in an east-west direction and is exposed for about 15 feet in length.the width of the vein is about 8 feet and is highly rusted. Only two holes were drilled in this so that it could be blasted for a good look. Here again the rock turned out to be a blue-grey quartz with fine pyrite, and minute amounts of chalcopyrite. Two grab samples were taken and although the results were low more work will have to be done to find the true width and length. The northern part of the zone had a lot of water seepage. This also strikes eastwest and is ^30 feet south of North Boundary line and 30 feet north of #3 trench. GOLD Number ^. Zone SI S OP90-372

7 #6 Zone This zone is about 540 feet south of North Boundary and is about 30 feet south of trench #5 and strikes east.and west. A two foot wide vein of rusty blue quartz with fine pyrite was found by using the excavator. This vein was followed for about 85 feet and did not amount to very much. A grab smaple was taken to see if it carried any values. I t is approximatly 120 feet west of #3 trench. GOLD No. 6 Zone SI OP90-272

8 ZONES #5-#7-#8 Zones #5 j #7 and #8 are what I believe to be the same unit, although the three trenches are almost 100 feet apart. Also 250 feet to the east is the No. 3 zone and this also lines up with #5* #7 and #8. All three of these veins are covered with a heavy coating of Rust. All three were blasted into, and grab samples were taken. The material is again a blue-grey banded quartz with fine pyrite, chalcopyrite and fuchsite found in small amounts. The vein in number 5 trench is 5 feet wide. The same vein exposed in #7 trench is seven feet wide, and when exposed in #8 trench it is 30 feet wide- These three zones were found by using a Geonics EM16 - VLF and then digging with the backhoe. The strike is East-West. GOLD Trench #5 S1.010 S2.005 Trench #7 S3 TR Trench #8 SI TR. OP90-372

9 FINAL REPORT M. NELSON CLAIM BLOCK CON LAKE AREA OP90-372

10 CON LAKE PROPERTY The G.P.A.P. grant was initially supposed to be used on a property in Legault Township. After doing a program on this ground last year (OP89-265) and turning up interest ing mineralized gold bearing zones, the ground was optioned to Freewest Resources of Montreal, (Please find pictures enclosed) and the 1990 O.P.A.P. grant was transferred to my claims on Con Lake in the Onamon Lake area. This ground was staked on March 12, 1989* A total of 12 claims are in the group and they are situated just west of mileage 55 of the Nipigon Provincial Boundary line. The areas to the north and to the south have seen a lot of mining activity since 1923 when gold was discovered by J. McKechnie. This find became the Taskota Goldmine. I started the program at the property on September 3) 1990 with V.L.F., work was done by MacAdam Explorations of Beardmore and the power trenching was done by Thorcox Excavating also of Beardmore.A total of seven trenches were dug ranging in a depth of one foot to twelve feet. Trench #2 was dug because of a rusty zone found on surface by conventional prospecting. All the other trenches were dug because of readings that were obtained by using the V.L.F. The showing in #2 trench contains pyrite, pyrrohotite and very fine chalcopyrite. This was assayed for copper, silver and gold but the results were not very encouraging. The showing in #3 trench was uncovered with a Cat excavator. This vein is about 1+ feet wide and is mostly fine grained bluegrey quartz with fine pyrite and chalcopyrite. Assays returned a.046 in gold. The showing in #4 trench is about 30 feet north of #3 and is a separate unit. Assays returned a.016 and.021. This zone is approxirnatly 8 feet wide and is of the same blue-grey quartz. The #5* #7 and #8 trench lines up with the #3 and there is about 250 feet of strike length between them. The #7 zone gave an assay of.095 while #5 and #8 were quite low. The #6 zone also returned low assays,

11 PAGE 2 I received enough values on this ground that it certainly deserves more work. I believe a more detailed V.L.F. survey a detailed sampling system in the showings that are now exposed. More backhoe trenching to determine the strike length. This property has not had any work done previously due to lack of exposed rock. I am quite certain that another program on this property should turn it into ground that I can get an option agreement on as I did with the Legault Township area last year. THANK YOU Myron Nelson OP90-372
