SUMMARY
The Lorraine Mine property consists of 19 mining claims located in
Gaboury and Blondeau Townships approximately 50 miles (80 km) east of
Ville-Marie, Quebec. The property contains the former Lorraine Mine
which produced 600,000 tons of ore grading 1.37% Cu, 0.62% Ni, 0.2 oz.
Ag/ton and 0.02 oz. Au per ton and the Blondeau Nickel showing which
contains 250,000 tons grading 0.45% Cu and 0.45% Ni.
The claims are underlain primarily by Precambrian volcanic rocks. The
strata strikes east-west with near vertical dips and tops to the south.
The Cu-Ni mineralization occurs within sheared mafic volcanics usually
at or near the contacts with dioritic or gabbroic intrusives.
Significant Au-Ag mineralization occurs in quartz veins within highly
sheared volcanics in the lower levels of the Lorraine Mine.
The Lorraine Mine has been developed to the 6th level (800 feet).
Sub-ore grade Cu-Ni mineralization traced down plunge to at least (1,500
feet) remains open at depth. Dissemminated Cu-Ni mineralization at the
Blondeau Nickel showing remains virtually untested along strike and down
dip. Numerous other Cu-Ni showings and geophysical anomalies require
additional testing.
Au-Ag mineralization occuring as en-echalon quartz veins up to 1 foot
wide have been traced for a strike length of at least 171 feet on the
6th level. A 92.0 foot length of this zone averaged 1.32 oz. Au/ton,
1.19 oz. Ag/ton and 3.19% Cu over a width of 0.92 feet. The adjacent
shear zone wall rock was not assayed. The extent and orientation of
this mineralization has not been established.
The location of additional zones of Cu-Ni mineralization on this
property is almost certain. However, the current economics of Cu-Ni
makes this aspect of the property unattractive at the present time. The
Au-Ag mineralization encountered on the 6th level of the mine on the
other hand does make an extremely attractive exploration target.
Compilation of all previous data, diamond drill evaluation of the Au-Ag
zone on the 6th level of the Lorraine Mine and a comprehensive surface
1
exploration program to test for additional precious metal targets is
recommended. An expenditure of $350,000 is required.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This review and evaluation of the Lorraine Mine property was prepared
for Halo Centrex Inc. in October 1985. The Lorraine Mine was a former
Cu-Ni producer with significant Ag and Au by-product. Additional Cu-Ni
reserves are reported from the former mine and several adjacent areas.
Gold and silver mineralization reported from the lower mine levels was
never fully evaluated. The report is based on a review of available
assessment file reports, government reports and private company reports
made available to the author. The property was not visited.
Conclusions and recommendations are based on the authors interpretation
of the available data and previous experience with similar types of
mineralization.
2.0 LOCATION AND ACCESS
The property consists of three separate claim blocks located on either
side of the common Gaboury and Blondeau Townships boundary in
Temiskamingue County approximately 13 miles (21 km) southwest of
Belleterre, Quebec (Figure 1).
The property is accessable via Route 382 an all weather road leading
east for 36 miles (58 km) from Ville-Marie to Belleterre and then east
via Route 62 and a 3 mile (5 km) gravel access road for 13 miles (21 km)
to the Lorraine Mine. The two claim blocks in Blondeau Township are
accessable by bush roads leading south from Route 62, 5 miles (8 km)
north, or on foot from the Lorraine Mine a distance of 1.2 miles (2 km)
or 2.5 miles (4 km) respectively.
3.0 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The property consists of 19 mining claims comprising 442 hectares. The
claims form three internally contiguous but separate blocks of 10, 6 and
4 claims (Figure 1). The claims are owned 100% by Geoconseils Jack
Stoch Limitee as recorded by the M.E.R. as of 85/04/30. The list of
claim numbers and status are appended (see Appendix I).

4.0 GENERAL GEOLOGY
The area is underlain for the most part by Archean Keewatin volcanics,
which are overlain in part by a lobe of Proterozoic sediments of the
Lorraine and Gowganda Formations which in turn are overlain in the
extreme west by Ordovician sediments of the Liskard Formation (Henderson
1936) see Figure 2.
The Keewatin rocks are generally east—west striking with vertical to
steep southerly dips and tops to the south. The Huronian sediments and
overlying Paleozoic sediments are relatively flat lying and in most
cases unconformably overlie their respective predecessor units.
5.0 PREVIOUS WORK
The earliest recorded work in the area dates back to 1939, but
significant results were not reported until 1953 when Kelly Lake Nickel
Mines Ltd. first encountered Cu—Ni mineralization. The Blondeau Nickel
Mines Ltd. showing was discovered in 1957 and the Lorraine Mine showing
was discovered in 1962. The following table summarizes the previous
exploration work in this area.

6.0 PROPERTY GEOLOGY
All three claim groups are underlain by altered metavoleanic rocks
primarily of mafic to intermediate composition with minor lenses of
felsic volcanics. Diorite and gabbroic intrusives are common,
especially in the Lorraine Mine and Blondeau groups. These volcanic
rocks terminate against a major granitic belt approximately one mile
north of the Lorraine Mine. The rocks are east—west trending with near
vertical dips and tops are considered south (Kish 1971). An eastward
plunging anticlinal fold axis and northeast trending faults are noted on
all the claim blocks.
The Lorraine Mine claim group is underlain by mafia volcanic flows with
minor intermediate and felsic bands. A combination of massive diorite
and gabbro intrudes the volcanic sequence forming a tounge between the
volcanics to the south and the granite batholith to the north. The
Cu—Ni sulphide ore body is confined to a northeast striking shear zone
within the mafia volcanics at the contact of a diorite mass. The
productive zone was 40 feet wide 250-300 feet long and extended to 800
feet below the surface. Both the diorite body and the ore rake to the
southeast. The mineralization is best developed at or near tight folds
along the diorite contact. The main sulphide minerals are pyrite,
pyrrhotite violarite, marcasite, magnetite, chalcopyrite, pentlendite,
and bravolite. Minor gold silver and platinoids were also recovered.
According to a report by J. Maclntosh (1967) quartz becomes more
abundant in the lower part of the ore zone where the sulphide appear to
pinch out. Several isolated lenses of significant gold mineralization
are reported from the quartz rich shear zone on the sixth level.
The Blondeau Nickel claim group is underlain primarily by basic
volcanics and gabbroic intrusives. An extensive zone of disseminated
6
Cu-Ni mineralization is encountered in the contact zone of a gabbroic
intrusive and amphibolitized mafic lavas. This zone of sub ore grade
mineralization remains open down, dip and along strike. Previous
operators tested only for Cu-Ni mineralization.
The Gold showing claim group is underlain primarily by mafic andesitic
flows. The only feature of note is a northeast trending fault passing
through the centre of the property (Kish 1971).
7.0 ECONOMIC GEOLOGY
The Lorraine Mine property is situated within an area containing several
Cu-Ni deposits and many showings (see Map 1). The Lorraine Mine,
produced 600,000 tons of ore grading 1.57% Cu, 0.62% Ni, 0.2 oz. Ag/ton,
0.02 oz. Au/ton and minor platinoids from 1964-68. Additional reserves
of 14,000 tons grading 1.03% Cu and 1.25% Ni have been outlined below
the sixth level, and the mineralized zone is known to continue down
plunge to at least 1,500 feet. The indicated width and grade however
appear to be sub-economic.
The Blondeau Nickel showing contains an estimated 250,000 tons of 0.45%
Cu and 0.45% Ni mineralization in a disseminated zone along a gabbro
intrusive. This mineralized zone remains open both along strike and
down dip.
Other occurences of Cu-Ni mineralization are present elsewhere on the
property. Assays of 3.83% Cu over 3.1 feet were reported from a trench
east of the Lorraine Mine shaft. A self-potential anomaly nearby these
trenches revealed Cu rich float assaying 6.11% Cu. Limited diamond
drilling in these areas has been inconclusive. Given the extensive
Cu-Ni mineralization in this area the occurrence of additional
mineralized lenses of economic tonnage and grade is very likely.
Perhaps of greater significance is the presence of precious metals Au-Ag
and platinoids in both the mine area and the surrounding rocks.
Descarreaux (1967) located fine gold bearing quartz veins on the sixth
level of the Lorraine Mine. The veins average one foot in width and may
be up to 25 feet long occuring within highly sheared volcanics. An
average of several grab samples returned values of 0.94 oz. Au/ton, 0.72
oz. Ag/ton and 2.75% Cu. During underground development these quartz
veins were encountered on the 601E Drift, 601W Drift, 6015 cross-cut and
the 602S cross-cut, see Figure 3. A combined average assay of 1.32 oz.
Au/ton, 1.19 oz. Ag/ton and 3.19% Cu over a width of 0.92 feet and a
length of 92.0 feet was obtained from the 601E and W drifts. Two
additional en-echelon veins starting 48 feet west of the vein in the
601W drift assayed 0.412 oz. Au/ton, 0.65 oz. Ag/ton and 3.16% Cu over a
width of 1.68 feet and a strike length of 31.0 feet. One hole drilled
from the 601S cross-cut below the sixth level encountered 1.56 oz.
Au/ton and 3.63 oz. Ag/ton for 3.2 feet. Gold bearing quartz veins were
also reported in the 601S cross-cut and the 602S cross-cut by mine
personnel. Additional drifting along this main shear failed to locate
any additional Cu-Au veins. The control or orientation of this vein
system was never determined.
Similar Cu-Au mineralization is also expected at the Blondeau Nickel
showing. Previous operators assayed only for Cu and Ni.
J. Stoch (1981) also reports a surface gold showing near Mud Creek (see
Map 1). A northeast trending fault structure similar to that at the
Lorraine Mine is shown to pass through this area.
8.0 DISCUSSION
Cu-Ni mineralization is common throughout this entire area, and the
possibility of finding additional lenses is quite good. The current
market however, for Cu-Ni products is depressed and even the richest
deposit may not be economic. Consequently, exploration expenditures for
these commodities are limited at least at the present time.
The associated Au-Ag mineralization however is significant. Au-Ag-Cu
bearing quartz veins present within the lower part of the main shear
zone at the Lorraine Mine appear to be of economic grade. Although they
are confined to the shear zone their extent and orientation has not yet
been defined. Experience from other areas, especially the Val d'Or
region suggests that gold mineralization may often migrate along

northeast trending shear zones and become deposited along numerous
structural traps.
A thorough evaluation of the known gold mineralization on the 6th level,
particularly structural controls such as the anticlinal axis and the
northeast faults may lead to the discovery of additional gold zones and
may also aid in evaluating other potential target areas elsewhere on the
property.
9.0 CONCLUSIONS
1. The Lorraine Mine property has a proven potential of hosting
additional deposits of Cu-Ni mineralization and may also host
economic concentrations of precious metals.
2. Sub-ore grade Cu-Ni mineralization is known to continue down
plunge to a depth of at least 1,500 feet at the Lorraine Mine.
3. A second zone of sub-ore grade Cu-Ni mineralization, the
Blondeau Nickel showing, has not been tested down dip or along
strike.
4. Several other Cu-Ni showings and anomalies along strike from the
Lorraine Mine have not been thoroughly tested.
5. The orientation and extent of significant Au-Ag mineralization
encountered in a quartz rich shear zone on the sixth level of
the Lorraine Mine has not been determined.
10.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
There is little doubt as to the possibility of outlining additional
Cu-Ni mineralization on this property. The depressed state of the Cu-Ni
industries at the present time however does not make this aspect of the
property an attractive exploration prospect at this time. A complete
and comprehensive compilation study of the large volumes of data
generated by the previous operators however is recommended to prepare,
in advance, for future Cu-Ni rallies.
9
The significant Au-Ag mineralization encountered in the lower levels of
the Lorraine Mine on the other hand are an ideal exploration target at
the present time. Even a small tonnage of ore would be economic because
of the presence of the existing mine workings. A diamond drilling
program to evaluate this Au-Ag-Cu vein system and surface exploration to
locate other, nearby, potential Au-Ag zones is highly recommended.
The above programs would require an expenditure of $350,000.
