Geology Comments

May 16, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - “The Flint Lake Property’s outer boundary incorporates, to the northeast of the Pipestone-Cameron Fault, a portion of the Rowan Lake Volcanics. The Rowan Lake Volcanics consist predominantly of massive and pillowed basaltic flows, with coarser gabbroic portions.” (Kenora AF 52F05SW, QQQQ-11, 2.55671, Metals creek Resources, pg.6).

Lithology

Lithology Comments

May 16, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - The 6.8 meter wide zone exists as a strongly to intensely silicified and sericite altered felsic ash tuff with cleavage related iron carbonate and 2-8% disseminated pyrite. This zone is hosted within a much wider sheared to strongly foliated system of deformation that strikes in a similar direction to the nearby Gauthier Occurrence (1100 dipping 75 0 north). The showing lies 170 meters across strike (southwest) of a theoretical strike extension of the Gauthier Occurrence (Kenora AF 52F05SW, MMMM-2, 2.27990, Cunniah Lake Inc.)

Mineralization

Mineralization Comments

Aug 28, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - Eight grab samples were collected by Cunniah Lake Inc in 2003 from the New Dogpaw showing returning values from 12 to 23,421 ppb Au. Subsequently seven channel cuts were sawn across the 6.8 meters (AFRI 2.27990, Cunniah Lake Inc.) Metals Creek crab sample DHJ-13-006 assayed 2.07 g/t Au, grab sample DHJ-13-007 assayed 1.849 g/t Au, both samples described as: “New Dogpaw Showing; felsic to intermediate tuff; sericite rich; 3-5% fine pyrite disseminated throughout.” (AFRI 2.55671, Metals Creek Resources, Appendix I).
