Summary

1349563 Ontario Limited and Redbird Gold Corporation, combined as Newco, retained Allan MacTavish of Appinite Geological Consulting to complete a summary report on the Gold Pointer Lake Property located in the Casummit Lake and Brownstone Lake areas, Red Lake Mining Division, northwestern Ontario. A property visit, made on September 10, 1999 by the author and Ewan Downie of 1349563 Ontario Limited, verified the locations of some of the claims, examined some of the trenches and outcrops exposed on the property, and collected 15 grab and composite chip samples for gold (Au) analysis.

Newco holds an option from prospector Perry English to evaluate the gold potential of the Gold Pointer Lake Property. The property comprises 6 contiguous, unpatented mining claims (75 claim units) currently recorded and in good standing with the Ontario Government.

The Gold Pointer Lake Property, is located within the Woman Assemblage of the Birch- Uchi Greenstone belt, western Uchi Subprovince, Superior Structural Province. The property is underlain by mafic metavolcanic flows and intercalated siliceous metasedimentary rocks, felsic metavolcanic tuffs and breccias, and oxide facies ironstones.

The Birch-Uchi greenstone belt has long been a focus for Au and base metal exploration and hosts several past-producing mines. Two of these old mines occur in close proximity to the Gold Pointer Lake Property. The Argosy Gold Mine, located approximately 800 meters west of the Gold Pointer Lake Zone, produced 101,875 ounces of Au at 0.368 ounces per ton (opt). The Kostynuk Brothers Mine, located 20 meter east of the property, near the north shore of Richardson Lake, produced 1126 ounces of Au and 102 ounces of silver (Ag) at l .77 opt Au.

The Gold Pointer Lake Property is host to 5 areas with significant gold mineralization potential:

/. The Richardson Lake Zone consists of a pyrite-arsenopyrite-rich siliceous breccia containing numerous strongly deformed quartz veins. Both breccia and quartz veins are encompassed by a broad zone of silicification, carbonatization, and sericitization.2. The Gold Pointer Lake Zone consists of a series of mineralized, visible gold-bearing quartz veins adjacent to a diorite dyke.3. The Penson Lake Zone is located within strongly sulphidized ironstone containing pyrite and minor arsenopyrite.4. The Argosy North Zone consists weakly mineralized quartz veins crosscutting mafic metavolcanic flows.5. The Argosy East Zone is centered on a large geochemical gold anomaly located approximately 100 meters southeast of the #1 Vein of the Argosy Mine.


Recommendations

The Gold Pointer Lake Property warrants further exploration to fully determine the extent of gold mineralization present on the claims and it is recommend that:

Phase I:

A. L Two 100 m-spaced grids consisting of a 25.5 km North Grid and a 84.0 km South Grid with east-west- and north-south-oriented baselines, respectively.

2. Stripping and trenching be completed on the Richardson Lake and Gold Pointer Lake zones to allow for detailed geological, structural, and alteration mapping and systematic channel sampling;

3. A ground magnetic survey of all grid lines with readings at 12.5 m stations;

4. A reconnaissance IP survey (200 m-spacing) should be completed over known mineralized zones to better refine their location and strike extent.

B, 7. A 1:5000 scale geological mapping and sampling program should be completed over the grid;

2. Detailed prospecting and sampling should be completed over all areas previously identified as geochemically or geophysically anomalous and any new areas outlined by the geological and geophysical surveys.

C. J. A detailed digital compilation of all Phase l and Assessment data to define diamond drill targets.

Phase 2:

L A 2000 m diamond drill program to test mineralized zones inferred to have the greatest potential for hosting an economic gold deposit.

A two phase budget totaling 3497,000 is recommended to completed the exploration program proposed above.

Exploration History

The discovery of gold at Red Lake in 1925 resulted in one of Ontario's largest gold rushes. This activity spread quickly to the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt with most of the early exploration concentrated in the southern portion of the belt. In 1929, gold was discovered on a property on the north shore of Casummit Lake. This property eventually became the Argosy Gold Mine, the second largest past producer of gold in the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt.

Review of the assessment and mineral deposit files archived at the Red Lake Regional Resident Geologist's Office, Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines in Red Lake, Ontario, a variety of ODM/OGS geological reports, and Northern Miner clippings indicates that moderate to extensive amounts of mineral exploration have been conducted on and around the current Gold Pointer Lake Property. The known exploration is summarized below:

1932 to 1934: F. Richardson discovered Au on the north shore of Richardson Lake in 1932. He optioned a 12 claim property to R.G. Williamson and the Casey Mountain Operating Syndicate who formed the Richardson Lake Syndicate. In 1934 the syndicate completed

trenching and 6 diamond drill holes, totalling 210 ft (64 m) Horwood (1938) reported drill intersections assaying between 0.04 to 0.68 opt Au over widths of 0.9 to 5.3 ft (0.27 to 1.62 m). The option was dropped later in 1934.

1932: The Stocking Syndicate completed trenching on what is now the Argosy North Gold Occurrence.

1933 to 1936: The Ellen Gold Syndicate completed extensive trenching and limited diamond drilling on the present-day Argosy North Occurrence. Gold was reported to occur within quartz veins, but no assays are available.

1933: The southern portion of the current property was staked as part of the Mcintyre Boylen group of claims. No records are available.

1933 and 1937: A group of 12 claims was staked by A. F. Hewitt and J. Ziyone This group covered what is now the Gold Pointer Lake Zone in the east-central portion of the present claim group. One diamond drill hole, of unknown depth, was completed on a quartz vein (Hevvitt-Ziyone vein?) in 1937. The owners reported that the property was optioned, but no records exist on the identity of the optionor.

1937: An unspecified number of claims were staked over the present location of the Kostynuk Brothers shaft by the Derby Gold Syndicate. The Au-bearing zone was not discovered and an unknown amount of work was completed.

1958 to 1966: A. and M. Kostynuk (the Kostynuk Brothers) staked 2 claims on the north shore of Richardson Lake. Prospecting by the brothers during 1958 discovered an auriferous arsenopyrite-pyrite-rich, siliceous breccia adjacent to a visible Au-bearing quartz vein. The claims were optioned by Dome Exploration (Canada) Ltd, in 1959. Dome completed a ground EM survey and drilled 9 holes, totalling 2459 ft (749.5 m), on the current claim group. The drilling outlined 24,096 tons grading 0.31 opt Au over an average width of 7 feet (The Northern Miner 1959). Dome dropped the option apparently because the grade and style of the veins did not fit the corporate interest of the company. That Kostynuk Brothers drilled 2 holes, totalling 207 ft (63.09 m), in 1960, and a further 3 holes, totalling 31 8 ft (96.9 m), in 1962. The property was optioned to Cochenour Willans Gold Mines Ltd, in 1962. Prospecting, reconnaissance geological mapping, and 4 diamond drill holes, totalling 2096 ft (639 m), were completed. One grab sample of pyrite-galena-sphalerite-(tetrahedrite?)-bearing quartz from an old pit, located approximately 2000 ft (610 m) west of the Kostynuk Shaft (see below), assayed 1.12 opt Au. No significant analytical results were obtained from the diamond drill core. This option was also dropped for reasons similar to those put forth by Dome Exploration. Between 1963 and 1966 the Kostynuk Brothers operated a small-scale mining operation on the vein discovered in 1958. A 5 x 9 x 50 ft (1.5 x 2.74 xl5.24 m) shaft, 111 ft (33.8 m) of drifting, and 35 ft (10.7 m) of crosscuts, and 3 m of raises were completed

AFF1NITE GEOLOGICAL CONSULTING777 Red River Road, Lower Level, Thunder Bay, Ontario. P7B 1J9. Phone: (807)768-9898; Fax: (807)768-2282 3

and 637 tons of ore were milled They recovered 1126 ounces of Au and 102 ounces of silver for an average grade of l .77 opt Au and 0.16 opt Ag.

1959 to 1964: J. Gillies staked four claims between the Gold Pointer Lake Occurrence and the Argosy Mine #2 Shaft and transferred them to New Dickenson Mines Ltd, A small, but unknown amount of diamond drilling was completed and the claims were brought to lease in 1964. No further data is available. The leases remain in good standing.

1960: Alcon Exploration and Mining Syndicate Ltd. completed prospecting, trenching, and 9 diamond drill holes, totalling 861 ft (262.4 m) on the Penson Lake portion of the current property One drill hole intersected up to 0.14 opt Au within arsenopyrite-bearing quartz veins. New Dickenson Mines Ltd. optioned the property from Alcon and drilled 6 holes, totaling 1614 ft (491.9 m). No assay values were reported.

1962: Cochenour Willans Gold Mines Ltd. completed prospecting, reconnaissance geological mapping, and 4 diamond drill holes, totalling 2092 ft (637.6 m) on the claims covering Argosy North Zone of the current property. Samples of arsenopyrite-rich quartz veins from tension fractures assayed between 0.04 and 0.72 opt Au.

1968: Mentor Exploration and Development Company Ltd. excavated and sampled trenches and drilled 6 holes, totalling 1613.5 ft (491.8 m) in the Penson Lake area. Samples taken from 8 trenches contained between 0.01 and 0.16 opt Au and samples of drill core assayed as high as 0.12 Au/3.3 ft (l m).

1969: The central portion of the property was staked by L. King. There is no evidence of any exploration work being done..

1969: Three diamond drill holes, totalling 303 ft (92.35 m) were completed by A. Kostynuk to the west and south-west of Gold Pointer Lake. No assays were reported.

1973 or 1974: Trenching was completed north of Richardson Lake by M. and A. Kostynuk.

1973 to 1976: A large group of claims covering the Gold Pointer Lake area of the current group were staked by M. and A. Kostynuk. The claims were optioned to Cochenour Willans Gold Mines Ltd. in 1974. That same year Cochenour excavated several trenches, completed ground magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys, and drilled 10 holes, totalling 2120 ft (646.2 m). The drilling intersected trace to 5 07o disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite associated with silicification and carbonatization. In 1975 the company drilled an additional 11 holes, totalling 4072 ft (1241.15 m). The mineralization and alteration encountered during the second program was similar to that observed in the previous 10 holes. Most drill logs do not include assay results; however, those that do report values as high as 4 32 opt Au over narrow intervals.


i l

1979: Cominco Ltd. completed geological mapping in the Penson Lake area. No assay values were reported.

1981: Noranda Exploration Co. Ltd. flew a combined airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey over the Richardson Lake area, and completed geological mapping and localized ground magnetic and induced polarization (IP) surveys.

1985 to 1988: H.A. Crawford acquired the Penson Lake Property and completed groundmagnetometer and MaxMin li horizontal loop EM surveys. The claims were optioned to Gabbs Resources Ltd in 1986 who completed stripping and trenching. Gabbs entered in to a Joint Venture Agreement (JV) with Ex-Terra Resources Ltd., St. Joe Canada Inc./ Bond Gold Canada Inc., and Nexus Resources Corporation in 1987. The operator of the JV, St. Joe Canada/Bond Gold Canada, completed ground geophysical surveys, stripping, sampling, and at least 19 diamond drill holes, totalling 2264.5 m. The highest assay value observed within the assessment files was 2.06 grams per tonne (gpt) Au. Assays of 0.14 opt Au/12.5 ft (3.81 m) and 0.27 opt Au/8 ft (2.44 m) were reported in the George Cross News Letter (September 25, 1987, p.3).

1985 to 1988: Golden Maverick Resources Corp. optioned 33 claims in the Richardson Lake area from the Kostynuk brothers in 1985 and then flew a helicopter-borne magnetometer, VLF, and EM survey. Later that year Golden Maverick amalgamated with Golden Terrace Resources Corporation Early in 1986 the new company staked 144 claims to cover most of the current Gold Pointer Lake Property. That same year the company completed linecutting, stripping and trenching, reconnaissance ground magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys, geological mapping, a humus geochemical survey, and 1520 ft (463.3 m) of diamond drilling, in 10 close-spaced holes, proximal to the Kostynuk Brothers shaft. Reported assay values from drill intersections within the Richardson Lake Zone include 0.254 opt Au/25.35 ft (7.73 m) and 0.351 opt Au/13.9 ft (4.24 m). Golden Terrace estimated a that the Richardson Lake Zone contained a geological resource of 700,000 tons grading 0.2 opt Au (The District News, March 23, 1988; The Northern Miner, June 20, 1988) During 1987 and 1988 the company drilled 12 holes, totalling 2531 ft (771.45 m) southeast of Gold Pointer Lake, one 250 ft (76.2 m) hole on the west side of Richardson Lake, and an undisclosed number of holes totalling 9658 m in the vicinity of the Kostynuk Brothers Shaft Zone and the Richardson Lake Zone.

1996: The Gold Pointer Lake Property was optioned by Romios Gold Resources Inc. No work was reported.

1999: The Gold Pointer Lake Property was optioned by 1349563 Ontario Limited. During a property visit to the property on September 10, 1999, 15 grab samples were taken from the Arseno Occurrence and the KRL 10219 Showing portions of the Richardson Lake Zone. These samples contained up to 2450 ppb gold (Table 4 and Appendix l; analyses completed by Accurassay Laboratories, Thunder Bay, Ontario).

Regional Geology

The Gold Pointer Lake Property is hosted by the northeastern Woman Assemblage of the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt (Stott and Corfu 1991), which is located within the western Uchi Subprovince of the Superior Structural Province, Canadian Shield (see Figure 4).

The Uchi Subprovince is a narrow, tabular domain of volcanic and plutonic rocks that occupies the southern margin of an old cratonic block ^2800 Ma) that includes the Sachigo and Berens River subprovinces (Card and Ciesielski 1986; Stott and Corfu 1991). It is flanked by the Berens River Subprovince to the north and the English River Subprovince to the south and is overlain to the east and west by Phanerozoic rocks. Stott and Corfu (1991) describe the Uchi Subprovince as a 690 km long, 80 to 100 km wide, east-trending belt that consists of a semi- continuous network of greenstone belts that weave around granitoid batholiths and pinions. The greenstone belts are characterized by thick basaltic flow sequences and mafic to felsic cycles dominated by bimodal volcanism. Komatiitic flows are rare throughout most of the Subprovince except within the Red Lake belt The greatest majority of the Subprovince's volcanic rocks are between 2730 and 2745 Ma in age; however, the overall age range is from approximately 2699 to 2992 Ma with an overall sense of younging from south to north (Stott and Corfu 1991).

The western portion of the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt was subdivided into 3 volcanic cycles by Pryslak (1971). This concept was extended by Thurston (1985) to include the eastern half of the belt. Age dating by Nunes and Thurston (1980) and Wallace et al. (1986) showed that the cycles were products of separate volcanic episodes over a 220 million year period and not due to a single progressive volcanic episode. Stott and Corfu (1991) describe the belt in tectono-stratigraphic terms with faults and unconformities forming the boundaries between three supracrustal assemblages based on the cycles proposed by Pryslak and Thurston. The assemblages proposed by Stott and Corfu (1991) roughly conform to volcanic Cycles 1,11, and III, respectively and are in order of decreasing approximate age:

1. The 2959 Ma Balmer Assemblage represents a 4800 m thick platform sequence of subaqueous oceanic mafic volcanic flows, localized shallow water subaqueous intermediate to felsic pyroclastic rocks, and some shallow water marble, chert, and sulphide-facies ironstone.

2. The 2840 Ma Women Assemblage is host to the Gold Pointer Lake Property and represents a 7300 m thick, early caldera formation sequence of subaqueous mafic and intermediate flows, minor intermediate and felsic pyroclastic rocks, cherty interflow units, and oxide-facies ironstone; felsic subaerial ignimbrite sheets and subaqueous ash- flows composed of tuff, lapilli tuff, tuff-breccia, and porphyritic flows; and shallow marine, stromatolite-bearing marble plus chert and oxide-facies ironstone.

3. The 4500 m thick Confederation Assemblage is roughly 2738 Ma in age and represents a resurgent volcanic sequence consisting of mafic to intermediate pillowed


flows, hyaloclastites, and interflow sediments; proximal, shallow water intermediate pyroclastic rocks with minor flows and tuff-breccia; and a primarily fault-hound block of felsic flows, tuffs, and lesser intermediate flows, proximal, vent-facies, phreatic breccias and welded endogenous tuffs and lapilli tuffs.

Parker and Atkinson (1992) describe the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt in general terms as composed of mafic, intermediate, and felsic flows and pyroclastic rocks with subordinate clastic and chemical sedimentary rocks The south and southeastern margin of the belt is dominated by linear volcanic units alternating with thick clastic sedimentary sequences. An alkalic volcanic complex with an associated carbonatite intrusion is centered on the north shore of Springpole Lake on the east side of the belt (Barron et al. 1989).

The supracrustal package has been intruded by large, composite granitoid batholiths such as the Mainprize Lake, Trout Lake, Keigat Lake, and Jeanette Lake granitoid complexes (Beakhouse 1989). Various late, felsic, intermediate and mafic batholiths, plutons, stocks, plugs, dikes and sills intrude the volcanic and sedimentary rocks.

Most of the supracrustal rocks exhibit greenschist-facies metamorphism with amphibolite-facies rocks locally concentrated within the contact metamorphic aureoles of batholiths and smaller intrusions (Parker and Atkinson 1992). Variable amounts alteration such as carbonatization, sericitization, and chloritization are common throughout the belt.

The Birch-Uchi greenstone belt differs from other belts within the Uchi Subprovince by exhibiting a dominantly north-striking fabric with the eastern half possessing a curvilinear aspect (Stott and Corfu 1991).

Regional Gold Mineralization

Nine gold mines have seen production since gold exploration began in the Birch-Uchi belt in 1926, the first commencing production in 1928. These mines (see Table 2) produced approximately 250,000 ounces of gold between 1928 and 1966 (Parker and Atkinson 1992). Most of this production was from gold-bearing quartz veins hosted by altered and mineralized shear, and/or fracture zones, within mafic and felsic volcanic rocks, clastic and chemical sedimentary rocks, and felsic to mafic intrusive rocks. Sulphide minerals include, in order of relative abundance: pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite. Recent exploration has successfully proven-up additional gold resources (see Table 3).

Property Geology

The Gold Pointer Lake Property is predominantly underlain by mafic metavolcanic flows intercalated with narrow intervals of siliceous (arenitic?) to locally pelitic metasedimentary rocks, intermediate to felsic metavolcanic tuffs and breccias, and oxide facies ironstones of the Women Assemblage of the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt (Thurston et-al. 1981; Thurston 1986; Beakhouse 1990; Stott and Corfu 1991; Parker and Atkinson 1992) The northeastern and northwestern edges of the property are underlain by the southern margin of a large un-named external granitoid batholith complex and the Retter Lake Granitoid Complex, respectively (Beakhouse 1990). The Retter Lake Complex is marginal to the external batholithic complex and is primarily composed of potassium-feldspar megacrystic granodiorite (Beakhouse 1990) A small gabbroic to dioritic pluton occurs a short distance north of the Richardson Lake Zone and may be part of the Retter Lake Complex

Property Mineralization

There are 5 areas within the Gold Pointer Lake Property that exhibit potential to host significant gold mineralization: the Richardson Lake, Gold Pointer Lake, Penson Lake, Argosy North, and Argosy East zones (see Figure 5). Two past producing mines occur in close proximity to the property. The Argosy Gold Mine, located approximately 800 meters west of the Gold Pointer Lake Zone, produced 101,875 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.368 ounces per ton (opt) Au during the 1940's and 50's. The Kostynuk Brothers Mine produced 1126 ounces of Au and 102 ounces of silver (Ag) from 636 tons of ore milled at an average grade of l .77 opt Au. This small, high-grade operation was located 20 meter east of the present Gold Pointer Lake Property near the north shore of Richardson Lake.

The Richardson Lake Zone and the Kostynuk Brothers Mine are located along the northwestern shore of Richardson Lake and appear to be hosted by locally tightly folded, sulphide-rich, brecciated, siliceous and slatey sediments containing drusy chert, magnetite-rich fragments, and jasperoidal ironstone (Lavigne and Atkinson 1988). This breccia trends roughly 065" and contains considerable disseminated to locally stringered pyrite and arsenopyrite and hosts numerous folded and brecciated quartz veins mineralized with disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena, and visible gold. The quartz veins are encompassed by a broad alteration zone of silicification, iron carbonatization, and sericitization containing disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite (Lavigne and Atkinson 1988). Close-spaced drilling by Golden Terrace Corp. between 1985 and 1988 outlined a resource within the Richardson Lake Zone of 700,000 tons grading 0.20 opt Au. Much of this deposit underlies the current Gold Pointer Lake Property. Surface occurrences exposed by historic trenching along the known length of the Richardson Lake Zone and on an associated, but oblique trend are described below and their locations are presented in Figure 6:

1. The Shaft Zone (Figure 6) underlies the Kostynuk Brothers shaft, extends westward into claim 1210176, and is truncated by granodiorite to the east-northeast. It lies directly

AITINITE GEOLOGICAL CONSITI.TINC,777 Red River Road, Lower Level, Thunder Bay, Ontario. P7B 1J9. Phone: (807)768-9898; Fax: (807)768-2282 13

north of the Richardson Lake Zone The zone is 3 to 10 m wide, trends 165 0 for a length of 150 m and plunges to the southwest (Lavigne and Atkinson 1988). Two, mineralized, non-quartz-hearing samples from the rock dump adjacent to the shaft contained 346 and 375 ppb gold, respectively (Table 4).

2. The KRL 10219 Showing (Figures 6 and 8) is located approximately 300 metres west-southwest of the Kostynuk Brothers shaft and 100 m southeast of the Arseno Zone The showing consists of an east-trending sheared and folded zone of silicified chlorite schist containing disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, and visible gold. Horwood (1938) stated that the zone had been brecciated and re-cemented by a strongly folded quartz vein containing tourmaline, carbonate, and arsenopyrite. A grab sample taken by Golden Terrace contained 0.28 opt Au Grab samples taken by the author analyzed between 370 and 1254 ppb (0.037 opt) Au (Table 4).

3. The Arseno Zone (Figures 6 and 7), also known as the West Zone, is situated approximately 400 m southwest of the Kostynuk Brothers shaft, is up to 11 m in width, and apparently trends 350". It consists of variably silicified pelitic wacke, wacke (arenite?), and quartz-sericite schist containing abundant disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrite. Grab samples of the zone collected by the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) assayed between 510 and 1420 ppb Au (Parker and Atkinson 1992). Analyses of composite chip samples taken by the author contained between 466 and 2450 ppb (0.071 opt) Au (Table 4).

4. The KRL 10218 Showing (Figure 6), also known as the H-Zone, is located approximately 600 m and 200 m west-southwest of the Arseno Zone and the Kostynuk Brothers shaft, respectively. Trenching and diamond drilling by the Richardson Lake Syndicate in the 1930's exposed and intersected quartz veins containing disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and visible gold. Assays from drill intersections ranged from 0.04 to 0.68 opt Au/0.9 to 5.3 ft (0.27 to 1.62 m). A grab sample taken by Golden Terrace Resources assayed 0.48 opt Au.

5. The D-Zone (Figure 6) is located approximately 800 m west of the Kostynuk Brothers shaft and 175 m west-northwest of the Arseno Zone. This zone does not apparently outcrop and was defined by Golden Terrace Resources from a combined strong geochemical and IP anomaly. This zone appears to occurs on a trend oblique to that hosting the other showings.

6. The F-Zone (Figure 6) is located approximately 1000 m and 300 m west-southwest of the Kostynuk Brothers shaft and the KRL 10218 Showing, respectively. This zone was defined by Golden Terrace Resources from soil geochemical anomalies and does not outcrop. A ground magnetic survey suggests that the siliceous breccia is strongly folded to the southwest of the zone beneath Richardson Lake. This folded region remains an untested target


The Arseno Zone, KR1. 10219 Showing, and the Kostynuk Brothers Mine dump were examined and sampled during the author's property examination. These samples returned assays as high as 2450 pph Au (Table 4).

The Gold Pointer Lake Zone (Figure 5) is located approximately 800 m east of the Argosy Gold Mine on claim 1210174. It consists of a series of quartz veins, adjacent to a diorite dyke, containing small amounts of disseminated arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and visible gold. Drilling by Cochenour Willans Gold Mines (21 holes) in 1974 and 1975 intersected numerous bluish quartz veins containing pyrite, arsenopyrite, and occasional visible gold; however, most assays were not submitted for assessment credit. The mineralization intersected during the drilling was described as similar to that observed at the Argosy Mine. Assays are only available for four of the holes Some of the significant reported drill hole assay values (in opt Au) are: 0.04/2 ft; 0.06/2 ft, and 4.32/0.5 ft from C-75-1; 0.2 1/3 ft and 0.38/3 ft from C-75-7; and 0.33/0.7 ft from C-88-10 l lole C-88-4, completed during a 1988 drill program run by Golden Terrace Resources, intersected visible gold throughout a 15.5 ft (4.72 m) interval between 238.8 and 254.3 ft (72.79 and 77.51 m) downhole. Assays of this particular interval are not available. The observed visible gold occurred within dark grey quartz veins containing 2 tolO^o disseminated arsenopyrite, minor pyrrhotite, and sericitic slips/inclusions. Also, reconnaissance drilling in another portion of the property, during the same program, was reported to have intersected significant gold mineralization within a new zone.

The Penson Lake Zone (Figure 5) is located within the southeastern portion of the Gold Pointer Lake Property. The Penson Lake area is underlain by north facing mafic flows and narrow oxide facies ironstones. The zone has been exposed by a series of trenches and consists of strongly sulphidized ironstone, containing considerable pyrite and minor arsenopyrite, crosscut by several narrow, barren quartz veins. During 1987 the OGS collected 3 grab samples from the sulphidized iron formation and adjacent pyritized mafic metavolcanic rocks that yielded assays as high as 13.43 gpt Au (0.39 opt) (Parker and Atkinson 1992). Drilling by the Gabbs Resources Ltd., Ex-Terra Resources Ltd, Nexus Resources Ltd., and St. Joe Canada Inc./Bond Gold Canada Inc. Joint Venture intersected Au values as high as 0.27 opt/8 ft (2.44 m) (George Cross Newsletter, September 25, 1987).

The Argosy North Zone (Figure 5) is located approximately 600 m northwest of the Argosy Gold Mine and consists of a series of north-striking quartz veins crosscutting mafic metavolcanic flows. Two of these veins, reported to carry minor arsenopyrite and visible gold (Horwood 1938), are interpreted as extensions of the gold-bearing veins of the Argosy Mine.

The Argosy East Zone (Figure 5) is centred on a large geochemical gold anomaly located approximately 100 m southeast of the #1 Vein of the Argosy Mine. Geological mapping by Horwood (1938) suggests that a highly folded felsic to intermediate volcanic breccia underlies the Argosy East Zone. This same breccia unit is host to the Argosy Gold Mine.

Conclusions

The Gold Pointer Lake Property is host to at least five auriferous mineralized zones requiring further geological investigation The encouraging results of previous workers at several of the auriferous zones on the property, and the gold analyses obtained from the Richardson Lake Zone samples taken by the author, indicate that further work is warranted to fully assess the economic potential of the property.

Recommendations

The Gold Pointer Lake Property warrants further exploration to fully determine the extent of gold mineralization present on the claims and it is recommend that:

Phase I: Surface Exploration

A. Linecutting and Geophysics:1. Two 100 m-spaced grids consisting of a 25.5 km North Grid and a 84 O km South Grid, with easl-west- and north-south-oriented baselines, respectively. Grids are cut at different orientations due to variations in strike of major lithologic units;2. Stripping and trenching be completed on the Richardson Lake and Gold Pointer Lake zones to allow for detailed geological, structural, and alteration mapping and systematic channel sampling;3. A ground magnetic survey of all grid lines at 12.5 m stations; and4. A reconnaissance IP survey (200 m-spacing) over known mineralized zones and adjacent lake ice to better refine their location and strike extent.

B. Geological Mapping, Trenching, and Sampling:L A l :5000 scale mapping and sampling program over the complete grid; and 2. Detailed prospecting and sampling over all areas previously identified as geochemically or geophysically anomalous and any new areas outlined by the geological and geophysical surveys.

C. CompilationL A detailed digital compilation of all surface exploration and assessment data to better define diamond drill targets.

Phase II: Diamond Drilling

L A 2000 m diamond drill program to test those mineralized zones that the digital compilation inferred to have the highest potential.
