Point Location Description: Precise: UTM coords for collar of drillhole TA-06-01

Location Method: Based on Assessment

Access Description: To the west of Timmins, just west of the Tembec sawmill, an all-weather gravel road proceeds northwest from Hwy 101. This gravel road, commonly known as Mallette Road or Montcalm Mine Road, traverses Laurion's Enid-Massey property from kilometer 31 to kilometer 44.

Mineralization Comments

Apr 16, 2009 (D Draper) - Zones of disseminated to massive pyrite and pyrrhotite were intersected along the contacts of the dykes with the gabbro and within sheared portions of the gabbro. Samples from the first sulphide zone intersected by hole TA-06-01 (bearing 030az) returned up to 4080ppm Zn over 1m. A sample from the next zone assayed 3040ppm Cu, 0.14 g/t Au and 11.5 g/t Ag. (T-5606) Loubel drillhole 97-02 (bearing 250az) was collared approximately 325m WSW of the Laurion hole. Two adjacent 1-meter samples of silicified amphibolite, mineralized with py and po assayed 4830ppm and 4250ppm Zn. (T-3557)
