Point Location Description: GPS location of Diamond Drill Hole
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: The Richore Prospect is located approximately 20 km northwest of the town of Matachewan. Access to the northwestern part of the property is gained by travelling west along Highway 566 from Matachewan and approximately 13.6 km north along the Beaudin Lake forestry access road to where it becomes impassable by truck a short distance away from the property boundary. From here, a drill trail was then cut to the east for approximately 1 km.
1920s: Baden Syndicate: staking of claim. 1935: Baden Gold Mines Ltd: sinking of two shallow shafts and diamond drilling. Mid 1940s: E.J. Thompson: acquired the property. 1961: J.C. Honsberger acquired the property from E.J. Thompson. 1964: Val-Nor Exploration Ltd: property optioned to Val-Nor, diamond drilling. 2004: Golden Valley Mines Ltd: diamond drilling to test induced polarization (I.P.) anomalies; re-sampling of the old shafts and trenches.

Jun 16, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - In 2004, Golden Valley Mines Ltd drilled a hole on the property. Hole GRO-04-01 intersected three gold mineralized zones: (a) heavy mineralized massive pyrite from 43.30 - 43.39 m. It ran 0.39 g/t gold over 0.09 m. (b) at 46.06 - 46.37 m, a glassy quartz-calcite fractured zone hosted in a chlorite +/- sericite schist ran 0.7 g/t gold over 0.31 m. (c) the best intersection from the hole was received at 54.69 - 55.0 m grading 1.3 g/t gold over 0.31 m. This zone is associated with glassy grey quartz fractures that are strongly deformed with sericitized and silicified wall-rock contacts and cross-cut by late pyrite-hematite hairline fractures. REF: KL 5603, page 23. The pyrite mineralization shows disseminated and semi-massive habit.
Jun 16, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - The intermediate metavolcanic is locally strongly altered (chlorite schist with quartz-calcite filling fractures). Late hematite alteration overprint also occurs. REF: KL5603, page 23.
