They comprise a total area of hectares of 1570 acres. They are all owned by Ron Hegel, whom is a prospector, miner and he has been actively mining in B.C for many years. The group of claims are located approximately 27km east of Quesnel, British Columbia and 6 km north of Cottonwood, British Columbia. The property is on the northern edge of the Kamloops Mining District and the southern edge of the Cariboo Mining District. Quesnel is approximately 660 km north east of the city of Vancouver and 100 km south of the city of Prince George. Access to the property is via Highway 26 and all weather paved road way. Which runs easterly from Quesnel to Cottenwood historical site. Then north on an all-weather gravel road for about 6 km to the site. The property is located in the Quesnel trough, a fault bounded Upper Triassic-Jurassic island arc plutonic belt. Local geology consists primarily of Upper Triassic black argillites, siltstones and rare fine grained sandstone layers. These locally contain significant disseminated quartz veining and sulphide mineralization, mainly Pyrite. These mineral claims have excellent potential for hosting significant volcanic related lode gold deposits. The gold that has been found in the placers overlaying these mineral claims does indicate that the gold is of two distinct geologic ages and has two different sources. The well-worn gold in the basal gravel is probably Tertiary in age and is well traveled. However, the hackly gold in the

8 inter-glacial section has travelled very little and apparently originates in localized quartz veins or vain-lets in tuffs related to the cold spring volcanic center located slightly to the south of this property. In 1988, Foxview Management drilled several drill holes in the area, one of which returned low grade gold values in a 58-meter section of highly altered tuff. Pyrite and pyrrhotite occurs in the altered tuffs and andesitic volcanics of the Jurassic-Triassic along several outcrops within the property. Mr. Mike Pozzabon has drilled several holes in sulfide and quartz baring felsic volcanics and tuffs on the Rita claims adjacent to these claims. At the more present days, two prospectors have taken chip samples from various bedrock locations. To date there has been no significant gold anomalies found at any exposed bedrock locations. Introduction The purpose of this report is to summarize the history of each of the previous exploration and mining activities on the property. Also to explain and elaborate on any possible reasoning that would justify conducting a future IP survey over any target zones. Due to the thickness of the overburden (10-25 m) at the location and e richness of the known Paleo-channels, a IP survey may only retrieve data relating to the glacial melt water and Paleochannels. One would believe that these rich channels may interfere with the data of an IP survey. An alternate survey should be conducted such as a VLF-EM which may deliver better results. Location And Access The property is located approximately 27 km (16.78 miles) east of Quesnel in north central British Columbia s Cariboo Mining District located at Latitude 53* 05 North and Longitude 122* 16 West. Quesnel is approximately 660 km (410 miles) north east of the city of Vancouver and 100 km (62.14 miles) south of Prince George. Access to the property is via Highway 26 ( an all weathered paved road ), which runs easterly from Quesnel to Cottonwood and then 4.35 km north of all weathered gravel road to the junction of the 600 road and e 3500 logging road. Turn right on the 3500 road and travel about 1.5 km to the entrance of the Toop Nugget Mine. Climate The climate at the property is considered moderate for north central British Columbia. Averaging daily temperature range from 12.1 Celsius in July to Celsius in January. Precipitation is moderately high averaging 104.4cm a year (41.13 inches a year) of which 50% falls as snow between October and April. Local Resources and Infrastructure Daily Air pain, Bus and Rail service to the city of Quesnel provides this area of 25,000 residents with supplies for the multiple lumber mills, the active mining industry and tourism in the area. All required supplies and services are available in Quesnel or Prince George, which is 100 km (62.14 miles) by road. Physiography Elevation of the property range from 912m to 973m (3000 to 3200 feet) and the terrain is gently sloped rolling. Much of the property is covered, but there is an abundant outcrop in Mary and

9 Norton Creeks, and in pits and trenches resulting from the placer mining activity in the area. Glacial ice moved in a northerly direction in the vicinity of the property. The area is covered by the claims is largely logged off: some unlogged areas on the southern part of the claims have mature stands of fir, pine, and cedar. Overburden consists of a thick cover of glacial gravels and till. Sporadic rock out crops occur along the side of both creeks.

16 Discussion of the 2015 geological and prospecting program The crew of the two prospectors began their trip from Kamloops B.C. Which is approximately 410 Km to the site. After setting up their base camp, they began with their prospecting of the area. From their base camp at Mary creek Placer mine site they would head east on an old mining trail where this trail crosses the path of the south west branch of Mary creek. This is where they began our water sampling tests. The GPS coordinates for this site is zone 10, , and the water was tested on site with this procedure. They would take 10cc of stream water and add it to a 30cc capacity test tube. Then they added five drops of acetate buffer and 3cc of percent dithizone stock solution into the test tube. Then the test tube was worked by shaking for one minute and then centrifuged for 30 seconds. Centrifuge is obtained by tying the worked pyrex test tube on one end with string. Then swirling in a circular motion for thirty seconds. The test tube stopper should be a gum rubber stopper because it may contain zinc and it will contaminate the test. After the centrifuge is done allow the solution to settle for one minute. Now observe the color of the liquid solution, if any copper or zinc is present it will be colored some shade of pink or red. Dependent on the intensity of the pink color, this indicates the amount of heavy metals that are present. If the solution turns to a dark blue to purple, then this will indicate that led is present in the area. If the solution turns to a dark or light colored yellow, this means that dithizone oxidation product is present such as pyrite or iron. If the solution stays green or colorless then there are no minerals present. The prospectors would perform yet another test with the same solution. They would dig a shallow hole in each stream bank. From the bottom contents of the hole they would fill a plastic pan. From the mineral in the pan they extract a 15cc soil sample by using a porcelain crucible for measuring soil samples. The sample is added to the diothizone stock and water solution. Then shaken and centrifuged as before. Then the colors are checks as before. Once these geochemical tests were completed for this area the men would pan the material from each hole that was dug. Any visible gold found in the panned concentrate would be looked at by a microscopic lens. This viewing would determine if the gold partials have traveled any great distance of if they have in fact been residual and possibly sourced from the nearby bedrock. On this tributary stream the prospectors preformed nine water and soil sample tests. With the stations approximately 50 meters apart from each other starting at GPS coordinates of zone 10, , and ending at GPS coordinates of , This is site 1, the next stream tested in this fashion was another south west fork. Which started at GPS zone 10, , and ended at GPS coordinates of , this is site two. This stream had six test stations of water and soil testing. There were no anomalies recorded in this stream. At site three, on this no-name stream the prospectors preformed fifteen water and fifteen soil tests. Starting at GPS coordinates of , and ending at GPS coordinates of ,

17 The forth stream tested was approximately 500 meters to the east of the #3 stream. And that site started with GPS coordinates of , and ended at , There were two bedrock outcrops of argillites with some surfaces exposed well enough to obtain a strike and dipp. At site A the GPS coordinates are 53* 4 15 N and 122* 4 32 W with an elevation of 920m. The strike is61*ne and dipp is 31*NW. At site B the GPS coordinates are 53* 4 23 N, and 122* 4 27 W with an elevation of 890 meters. This site is also Argillite and it has a strike of 285*W and a dipp of 34*NW. All crop areas had a sample taken, which was crushed by pestle and mortar. Then was tested with the Dithizone stock solution and also the crushed material was panned. There was no sign of gold present in any bedrock site tests. Site A is our photo marked as A Site B is our photo marked B Recommendations It is recommended to do a good chip sampling program thoroughly over newly exposed bedrock that the ongoing placer miners have uncovered. This may reveal new gold anomalies and possibly find a source to the rich placer gold in the area. Also a newly exposed quartz veins should be assayed for gold. If any deictic lapilli tuffs with quartz and feldspar, disseminated glass shards, some fine grained banded deceit are newly exposed, they should be diamond drilled and assayed. Because this roc type from this area is known to carry a high enough grade of gold to possibly warrant a small scale mining operation. Also for the summer of 2016 it is recommended that a geologist try to locate all the exposed cold spring volcanics of felsic lithic tuffs. The tuffs have been assayed with a recorded assay of 1.02 grams per ton gold. Also there were particles of native gold found in some felsic tuffs.
