12/20/2017 (C Ravnaas) - The Seine Bay/Bad Vermilion Lake intrusion consists of a series of continuous to semi continuous layers or lenses striking generally east – west. Dip of the layers varies similarly from sub-vertical in the west to 30 - 60 degrees in the east, again changing in the Snake Lake area. The intrusion is 750 to 1000 meters thick, and spans the Mine Centre property from west to east. At the southern extent, the intrusion is in contact with mafic volcanic rocks and at the northern extent, the intrusion is in contact with felsic intrusive rocks from page 8 AFRO 2.44256.

12/20/2017 (C Ravnaas) - Lithologically, the intrusion consists of anorthositic to gabbroic to pyroxenitic rocks with interlayered and tense-like bodies of massive and semi-massive oxide. Typically, the rocks are medium- to coarse-grained, however very coarse-grained to pegmatitic rocks are common, especially within several hundred meters of the lower contact with mafic volcanic rocks page 9 AFRO 2.44256. Massive, semi-massive, and disseminated accumulations of Fe - Ti mineralization are extensive across the Intrusion. Massive and semi-massive layers or lenses occur as part of the mafic layered intrusive package of anorthositic, gabbroic, and pyroxenitic rocks that make up the Seine Bay/Bad Vermilion Lake intrusion page 14 AFRO 2.44256.

12/20/2017 (C Ravnaas) - Diamond drill hole: NU06-10 – sample J975903 returned 0.17 gpt Au & 0.11% Cu / 1.5m from a schist with pyrite>>pyrrhotite>chalcopyrite. Sample J975873 returned 0.331 ppm Au over 1.5 m (Assessment report 20000007745).
07/15/2020 (T Pettigrew) - Two massive oxide horizons were intersected within a thick zone of schist in DDH NU-06-10. The first massive oxide horizon is 9.7 meters thick (86.1 m to 95.8 m), with a weighted average for TiO2 of 19.6%, and a weighted average for Fe2O3 of 54.8%. The second massive oxide horizon is 6.8 meters thick (154.5 m to 161.3 m), with a weighted average for TiO2 of 16.7%, and a weighted average for Fe of 26.4%. (Assessment report 20000007745). DDH T-85-12 returned up to 18.15% TiO2 and 54.11% Fe over 27 feet (8.2 m). DDH T-85-13 returned up to 21.8% TiO2 and 57.91% Fe over 25 feet, and 0.022 oz/t Au over 9 feet (0.75 g/t Au over 2.7 m). DDH T-85-14 returned up to 22.33% TiO2 and 57.74% Fe over 18.5 feet (5.6 m) (Assessment report 52C10NW1007).
