Introduction This report covers the Scadding Gold Mine Site and the adjacent staked and optioned claims (the Property ) by Trueclaim Exploration Inc. ( the Company ) for its potential to host gold mineralization that could be economically exploited. At the time of this report the Property consists of 7 mining leases which contain a total of 56 contiguous mining claims, as well as?? optioned and staked claims for a total area of approximately 37,000 acres. The Property is predominantly underlain by Early Proterozoic age sediments of the Huronian Supergroup, specifically the Serpent, Espanola and Bruce Formations of the Quirke Lake Group which have been intruded by Early Proterozoic age (Nipissing) gabbro and diabase. The gold mineralization occurs in what is thought to be younger than 1700 Ma (million year old) bodies of hydrothermal breccia made up of coarse fragments of the Serpent Formation with abundant chlorite alteration and as much as 5% iron sulfide content. Based on previous drilling a noncompliant resource of 539,049 tons containing 165,525 oz of gold which represented a grade of 0.307 oz gold per ton, was reported on the property. It is the purpose of this work to determine if significant mineralization existed on the property worthy of a further Phase II drill program to delineate a resource evaluation. This report discloses the data from the drill program undertaken in 2009. Work undertaken on this property and this report was supervised by Bob Komarechka P.Geo. of Bedrock Research Corp. Location The Property is located in Scadding Township, District of Sudbury, Ontario between Wanapitei and Ashigami Lakes, about 50 kilometers northeast of Sudbury, Ontario at 46 o -38 N latitude, 80 o -37 W longitude. The Property includes the former Scadding Gold Mine (1984-1990) located in Concessions II and III, Lots 5 and 6, Scadding Township, Sudbury Mining Division.
Access Access to the old mine workings and the 2009 Phase 1 DDH program is provided via the well maintained gravel Kukagami Lake Road. Travelling on this road which runs near north from Highway 17 for?? km. will bring one to a gravel road to the west. Taking this road leads to the old minesite and the area of drilling. See figures 1 & 2. Add figure 1 General Location Map here Property Description The following table shows the extent of the property as held at the time of the initiation of drilling: Figure 2: True Claim Land Position, September 29, 2009.

Previous Work The following is a summary of the key Property highlights as previously written by L.D.S. Winter, P.Geo. and later paraphrased or duplicated. Previous to Trueclaim Exploration Inc. operations, a total of 19003 meters of diamond drilling in 221 surface holes have been drilled on the Property and most of this work was restricted to four mining claims. In 1980 P.C. McLean calculated a non-compliant resource for the Property of 539,049 tons containing 165,525 oz of gold which represented a grade of 0.307 oz gold per ton. The estimated resource base in 1983 was 152,895 tons at an estimated undiluted grade of 0.376 oz gold per ton which represents approximately 57,000 contained ounces. The Scadding Gold Mine produced approximately 914 kg of gold from 127,000 tonnes (t) of ore grading 7.2 Au/t (29,400 ounces of gold from 139,742 short tons of ore grading 0.21 oz/ton) during the period 1984 to 1990 from three shallow open-cuts (North, East-West and South Zones) and underground development of the Central (Intermediate) Zone. The estimates from 1983 combined indicated and inferred categories which is not permitted under current CIM Reserve and Resource Standards as required by NI43-101. This information is historical data and should only be considered as such. It does not represent current resources compliant with CIM Standards as required by NI43-101. The Scadding Gold Mine was run as an extraction project without any attempt to build a sustained mining operation or to evaluate the potential of the Property. Previous to the Company s operations, the most recent work was carried out by JML Resources Ltd. in 2003. A preliminary drilling program confirmed the presence of gold at one of the known historic gold zones (North Zone) and confirmed that historic gold zones are associated with broad chlorite and albite-rich alteration envelopes. Geophysical surveys identified 7 distinct linear zones and that within 3 of the zones historical gold development had occurred. Based on the historical work (1973 to 1990) on the Property and the work in the last 10 years by Currie Rose Resources Inc. and JML Resources Ltd., it is considered that the Property has the potential to host additional mineralization.
Summary of Work Drilling Trueclaim contracted Mallette Drilling from the period of November 10 th to December 16 th 2009 to complete the Phase 1 drill program. In total 19 NQ diamond drill holes were drilled over an area covering 4 of the 7 leases that comprise the Scadding Gold Property. The total meters drilled during this program was 2129.94m. Orientation of the drill hole was surveyed at approximately regular 50m intervals. These tests were done using a Reflex tool by the drillers. Readings were documented by the driller once the hole was terminated. Drill casings were left in the ground with the driller requested to supply and attach caps. These caps were later labeled with a punch showing the hole number. Summary of Drilling Undertaken On November 11 th, 2009 drilling commenced. The first hole was located in the South Pit area on claim 373196. TRM-09-01 was drilled about 10m from the edge of the south pit. Present within the historical data there was indication that hole W36 drilled by Watt and McLean in 1984 contained a large intercept of gold mineralization. The first Trueclaim hole was scouted by Paul McLean and was meant to target this intercept. A large diabase dyke was intersected and seemed to end at the point that Paul McLean thought we would intersect chlorite breccia. For this reason, we measured out a second drill hole about 20m to the west and attempted to hit the chlorite unit again. Successfully, we intersected very little diabase and more chlorite. While drilling the first two drill holes water was taken from the south pit using a pump. As there was blasting to remove the material from the south pit, the drillers has some struggles collaring in this area due to the fragmented nature of the rock near the pit. After the first two drillholes we moved to the north zone. Holes TRM-09-03, TRM-09-04 and TRM-09-05 were drilled in attempt to extend the north zone towards the north-east. The quartzite was less altered here and the drillers had a very hard time finding the right bit that would last. During the drilling of these holes numerous bits were ordered and tested until a bit that suited the rock was found. In this area water for the drilling was taken from the North Pit and pumped about 100m to the drill. In these drillholes quartzite, chlorite breccia and carbonate breccia were encountered.
The drill was moved into the north zone to twin one of the Currie Rose holes (CR42) in order to gain more confidence in the historical data. TRM-09-06 was drilled vertically within half a meter to the east of the old collar. The lithological contacts seemed to be consistent with what was documented in the logs. While we were drilling in this location, some personnel from the Ministry of Labour appeared for a site visit and inspection of the drill. TRM-09-07, TRM-09-08 and TRM-09-09 were all drilled in the south pit area. During inspection of the drill core from hole TRM-09-02 during logging visible gold was observed. These observations warranted more drilling around the south pit to determine the orientation of the mineralized zone. TRM-09-07 was drilled about 20m north of the second hole to see if we would intersect the zone when we stepped back. Some chlorite breccia was intersected in this hole. It was then decided that we should drill 20m further to the west and attempt to intersect the zone with TRM-09-08. This drillhole was unsuccessful and the majority was drilled into the Espanola Limestone. TRM-09-09 was a vertical hole drilled on the south side of the pit to see if the mineralization occurred in this location. A small interval of chlorite breccia was intersected followed by the contact with the Espanola Formation. The Currie Rose New Zone was always an area of interest that needed some follow up. Sporadic vertical historical drillholes occur throughout this area. It seemed that there was something interesting going on in this area structurally. Four holes (TRM-09-10, TRM-09-11, TRM-09-12 and TRM-09-13) were drilled into this zone all oriented towards the south. All four holes intersected chlorite breccia, diabase and were terminated in Espanola Limestone. Drilling in this location was smooth and with no major problems. Water was pumped from the East-West Pit to the drill shack. There was very limited drilling between the central mined zone and the north pit, it seemed like this was one of the areas needing further exploration. Drillhole TRM-09-14 was an attempt to determine if there was continuity between the two zones. During drilling water was used from the North Pit. The logging revealed that there was chlorite breccia present in that location. This hole was terminated within the Carbonate breccia. A few hundred meters to the south-west, TRM-09-15 was drilled targeting a small intersection of gold assays found during drilling in 2004 by JML Resources. Numerous meters of quartzite and carbonate breccia were intersected with very little chlorite. The pump shack was located at the South Pit and no bulldozing occurred as the pad was built on an old drill road.
10 targets were identified by geophysics run by Currie Rose. All of them were clearly marked using a solid t-bar and had an engraved plaque attached to it marking the Target number and what geophysical anomaly it was targeting. We decided to test Target 4 which was located about 200m north of the North Pit. This area was exposed while trenching the area a few weeks prior. This was mostly a swampy area and several chloritic boulders had been pulled out of the muck. TRM-09-16 was stepped back 40m south of the T-bar for Target 4. Very little chlorite, alteration and mineralization were present in the core. TRM-09-17 was drilled 100m down strike of TRM-09-05. As we had intersected some intervals of chlorite breccia in this earlier hole, we decided to see if we could pick it up 100m to the north east. About 10m to the north of the drill was hole an old Northgate hole drilled vertically and producing water. The last two holes of this drilling program were TRM-09-18 and TRM-09-19 both were drilled from the same point located between the Currie Rose New zone and the East-West Pit. The first hole was drilled vertically and interested weakly mineralized chlorite breccias and the second hole was drilled to the north and also intersected some chlorite breccia intervals. On December 16th, TRM-10-19 was in barren looking quartzite and there was a general consensus that this would mark the end of the 2009 drilling program. This gave us an opportunity to catch up on the logging and sampling. We wanted to ensure that all samples were at the laboratory prior to Christmas break.

Plan Map of DDH Locations
Surveying In October, Global Surveying Services was hired by Trueclaim Exploration to more accurately locate features found in the field. Lindsay Moss spent several weeks compiling data for assessment work and putting together a map of historical drillholes. This map was taken in to the field with the GSS crew and as many drillholes we could find were located with the GPS. About 30% of the historical holes were located in the field. Holes that were not found in were most commonly positioned either in pits or cemented if located above the underground workings. Most recent drillholes from Currie Rose (1997) and JML Resources (2003 and 2004) were in a similar position to what was documented on the map. Currie Rose holes were very well marked with 4 inch by 4 inch block of wood chiseled into a round point at the bottom and hammered into the casing. JML drillholes were easily spotted because the drilling was so recent that pads had not become over grown. As well, many drillholes away from the mine area were drilled on their cut grid, the lines are still in pretty good condition. JML marked most drillholes with a 2 inch by 2 inch wooden picket often with flagging tape tied around the base. Older drillholes were more difficult to locate. About half of Northgate and Gulf holes drilled away from mine workings were found in the field. These drillholes were often intensely rusted and very difficult to find due to the brown colour being similar to the trees. Only one hole drilled by Watt and McLean in the early 1980`s was found and it is still questionable as to whether this drillhole actually belongs to this group. Where we found the collar, about 300m east from the south pit there should have been two collars as one was failed. There was only one collar located in this area and it was a different orientation from what was documented. During this surveying program two wells were discovered on the property. No documentation of these were found in the historical data, but it is believed that these were used for hydrological studies. Several other points of interest were surveyed during the two week period, including all roads and trails on the minesite, the waste pile, the portal and the pits. Some pickets still remain from old cut lines and these were surveyed, but there weren`t enough points and it was impossible to determine which pickets these were as they had no markings, so that data is unusable. Global Surveying placed several iron bars around the property, so we have something concrete for future surveying to tie into.
Logging Prior to drilling an excel logging sheet was created designed based on what historical data deemed important to capture. Both alteration and mineralization seemed to play an important role in the gold mineralization. Logging by Bob Komarechka and Lindsay Moss began soon after drilling commenced. A stereomicroscope was used in conjunction with logging to better view small flecks of visible gold as well to aid in identifying unknown phases. Magnetic susceptibility readings were taken sporadically using a KT5 Magnetic susceptibility meter by Exploranium, mainly in attempt to identify intrusive lithologies. Logging occurred in a garage rented just off of Highway 17 at 300 Kukagami Lake Road. Within the garage is a logging bench and 5 core racks built by Stanley Kowal. The garage was heated with a portable oil furnace rented from Able in Sudbury. In order to get heat from one side of the garage to the other, we needed to drill a hole through the wall for the heating vents to pass through. The core is currently stored on the property with significant intervals stored inside and locked. Remaining core from 2009 is located in racks outside of the garage and covered with tarps to prevent the wood from rotting. Core Cutting and Sampling Core cutting was undertaken by Stanley Kowal. A saw was rented from Exploration Services for the purpose of cutting core. Two 14 inch diamond blades were purchased for the saw. A separate room away from the logging area housed the saw and all cutting materials. Prior to cutting blanks and standards were organized. Standards were acquired from CCIC in Sudbury and blanks were created from white quartz. The main problem encountered with cutting was our water supply to the saw. There was no running water in the shack and there was only a rain barrel outside the shack for water. The people who rented the house next door have a well and were kind enough to fill our barrel. When temperatures dropped it was near impossible to keep this water from freezing solid. We got a few large plastic water containers from Mohawk Garnet and stored the water inside the heated shack. Cut core was stored in the cutting shack and sampling was done periodically. Half core samples were placed in thick plastic sample bags with their corresponding sample tag. A portion of the sample tag
with the sample number was stapled into the bottom of the core box. Standards were inserted every tenth sample and blanks were inserted every fiftieth. Sample bags were closed with zip ties and put in rice bags in groups of 10. Samples were taken to the lab when we accumulated about 10 bags of core. When drilling commenced we were transporting our samples to SGS Laboratories in Sudbury and duplicate samples or field samples were being sent to Swastika Laboratories in Swastika. At SGS Laboratories it was taking a significant amount of time for results, so all samples were transferred to AGAT Laboratories on highway 17 in Sudbury.
Observations Drilling During the 2009 drilling program several observations were made regarding the drilling at the Scadding Mine Site. Bits for drilling should be specifically for hard rock like the quartzite. Water on site is readily available and easily accessible from almost anywhere on the property. It was noted that rock is highly fragmented due to blasting around the pit areas which can cause problems during casing. Also to note, the Espanola Limestone drills very rapidly with the hard rock bits. The drillers can almost double their speed while drilling through Espanola Formation. Lithological While logging core we were able to identify that there were several different types of chlorite alteration found on the Scadding Mine site. These chlorites can be distinguished primarily by their appearance. One chlorite phase often associated with sulphides in a medium green is colour and rather pervasive in its alteration around the quartzite fragments. The other chlorite observed seems slightly lighter in colour and tends to have a sharper contact with fragments. The later chlorite is rarely mineralized by sulphides. While running the drill program we found a pile of ore assumed to be from the underground working. These rocks were composed almost completely of chlorite and contained large 1-5cm cubic pyrite crystals. Visible gold was identified within 3 of the first 4 holes of this program. The gold identified was commonly found under the stereomicroscope. It seems as if the gold is very fine grained and therefore difficult to find with the naked eye. Gold was found in strongly chloritized areas in association with sulphide minerals. Alteration was somewhat variable throughout the drilling. It seems like there is much more hematite alteration present in the south pit than there is in the north pit. Within TRM-09-02 we noticed that the visible gold was in chlorite beside a strongly hematitically altered fragment. Where as in TRM-09-03 we still observed visible gold in the chlorite of the chlorite breccia units, however the quartzite fragments are commonly white to tan in colour. While drilling in the north it was observed that the quartzite was not or weakly altered by hematite when in the zone where chlorite breccia occurs. Commonly there is a distinct point at which chlorite
alteration become carbonate alteration. At this point the quartzite fragments become salmon pink in colour due to the intense pervasive chlorite alteration. We have not yet concluded the relationship between hematite alteration and gold mineralization. Historical drilling After all of the compilation, field work and drilling completed by Trueclaim Exploration there are a few observations made about historical data and historical drilling. It seems as if mineralization and chlorite breccia are both occurring in the general areas they were documented as occurring. While compiling data before drilling occurred there were numerous holes in the assessment reports. Some of these missing documents were acquired from sources who worked on the property and others still have not surfaced. There is no record of any assays from the Gulf drilling program we just have lithological logs. For the work done by Watt and McLean most of the data was compiled, however no drill collars were found to confirm they exist. As for Northgate, we have only found a few collars because most were drilled into the area of the underground mining and therefore cemented during mining. We have compiled all of the data from Northgate and it seems that most data fits what was intersected. Currie Rose drillholes were definitely the easiest to find being marked with a block of wood. In the JML drilling assessment report it seem like most of their results and logging were pretty close to what was intersected in the Currie Rose drillholes, some assays varied due to gold flecks. It seems like data from Currie Rose and JML Resources is far more reliable than the other historical data.
Conclusion Through the compilation of historical work done on the Scadding Mine site it seemed as if the drilling programs in the past were rather small and somewhat inconclusive. I was stated by several documents and people that there is still potential for expansion as well as new discoveries on the property. The primary goal of this preliminary phase of drilling was to establish the accuracy of historical records and determine whether or not there is current potential on the Scadding Gold Mine property. To date we have been able to rank the historical data based on accuracy as well as determine that there is still potential for expanding old deposits and finding new ones. It was determined that there is still gold present in the ground as we observed visible gold in holes drilled in the north (about 75m away from the open pit) and in the south zones. Lithologically, chlorite breccia is confirmed in places where it was documented by historical drilling. It seems as if there are physically different types of chlorite present on the mine site which contain variable amounts of sulphide mineralization. Alteration is variable throughout the site, most commonly hematite which is stronger in the south pit area and weaker in the north pit.
Recommendations More diamond drilling needs to occur on the Scadding site. Most historical drilling was concentrated on the 5 deposits within the mine area. Not much drilling was done outside of this area until JML Resources drilling program in 2003 and 2004. Several small sniffs of gold mineralization were detected outside of the main zones which need to be followed up in future drilling programs. In this drilling program it was determined that the mineralization is sporadic and commonly contained within the mineralized chlorite breccia units. In order to get a better idea of the way these bodies are sitting in space it is recommended that the historical and current drilling are modeled in a 3D program. Through modeling the ore zones and location of the chlorite breccia more accurate drill targeting can be achieved. The North Zone seems to be the largest drilled zone of mineralization not mined on the property. More detailed drilling in this area would allow magnetic and geochemical tests which can be useful to determining controlling factors related to gold mineralization. In the 3D modeling program, geochemical results can be plotted to see which elements are more closely related to gold. Magnetic susceptibility readings will be useful in determining whether an airborne magnetic survey would benefit Trueclaim in identifying more pockets of mineralized chlorite breccia. As well, the geochemistry can be used to define a way of differentiating mineralized verses non-mineralized chlorites.

Similar to the unit above, except pyrite is beginning to develop, hematization is less pervasive and becoming more fracture filled. Brownish grey, finely crystalline, mottled with black to dark green flecks containing scattered blebs of pyrite. Pyrite is also found within chlorite specks and within chlorite filled fractures. 26.90 28.59 SF Quartzite Breccia 28.59 29.29 SF Quartzite Breccia 29.29 29.90 SF Chloritized Quartzite Weakly brecciated quartzite with a chlorite matrix. The quartzite is very finely crystalline varying in colour from pinkish brown to grey. Brecciated with chlorite coming in along layers of quartzite broken apart as well as in specks. Local patchy areas of chlorite which seem to have replaced some fragments.
