UTM Zone: 16 Easting: 694720 Northing: 5210673 UTM Datum: NAD83
Resident Geologist District: Sault Ste. Marie
NTS Grid: 41N01SW
Point Location Description: Centre of claim.
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Turn off the Ontario Highway 17 onto the Mile 38 Forest Road one kilometer north of the crossing of the Chippawa River. At kilometer 6 on the Mile 38 road turn left onto the Tilley Lakes Forest Road. Between kilometers 6 and 7 on the Tilley Lakes Road there are three tertiary forest roads that continue to the north and provide access onto the property. The lower part of the tertiary roads are suitable for truck, however ATVs/alternate vehicles are required for full access.
1987: Loyden Resources Inc. staked the claims and completed trenching, stripping and an IP survey. 1987: Corona Corp. optioned the property and completed a geological survey and mapping,.1988: Lacana Exploration Inc. completed a geophysical survey (magnetic, electromagnetic, VLF) of the area. 1989-1990: Inco Exploration and Technical Services Inc. completed geophysical surveys (magnetometer, electromagnetic VLF), prospecting, soil sampling, and two diamond drill holes totaling 286m. 2013-2018: M.A. Tremblay completed prospecting, sampling, channel sampling, assays and analysis. 2019: M.A. Tremblay completed prospecting, trenching, ground geophysics (IP, VLFEM), and Aboriginal consultation. 2020-2021: Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. optioned the property in 2019 and carried out prospecting, soil sampling, assaying and analyses, and Aboriginal consultation.

Province: Superior
Geological Age: Archean
Aug 24, 2022 (Sheree Hinz) - The Batchewana Greenstone Belt is a north-easterly trending package of Proterozoic and Archean metavolcanics and meta- sedimentary rocks. Surrounding the belt and defining its borders is a large batholithic complex of felsic intrusive rocks. Proterozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks unconformably overlie the Archean metavolcanic rocks. Numerous dykes and sills of both Proterozoic and Archean Age are identified regionally. Swarms of diabase dykes, felsite’s, porphyry dykes, and intrusive breccia pipes are relatively common regionally. Major fault directions are NE, NW and NS

Aug 24, 2022 (Sheree Hinz) - The general geology is striking north-easterly and are dipping vertically or steeply to the northwest. The dominant rock type is mafic to intermediate metavolcanic flows and intrusives with lessor amounts of tuffs and/or volcaniclastic sediments. Minor occurrences of banded iron formation, cherts, metamorphosed ultramafic rocks, and felsic metavolcanics are also present. Diabase dykes of Archean age cut the above rocks with a south easterly trend. All of the above rocks appear to have been subjected to lower to middle greenshist facies metamorphism.

Aug 24, 2022 (Sheree Hinz) - Mineralization on the property is within north-easterly trending shear zones of high fissility. These zones are between 6 and 18 meters wide and are strike persistent for hundreds of meters. They exhibit strong carbonate alteration and commonly host white quartz veins up to 1.5 meters wide. Sulphide mineralization is weak. The best areas contain 1 or 2 percent pyrite. These high fissility zones are contained within a larger but more weakly foliated shear zone which covers most of the claim group. The mineralized veins are characterized by the dominant alteration mineral assemblage consisting of silica-ankerite-sericite-pyrite and/or chalcopyrite. Multiple assay analyses from samples collected from the property between 2013-2019 returned high gold values between 1.20 and 25.57 g/t of Au, whereas a geochemical soil sampling program over known induced polarization (IP) anomalies confirmed the association of gold in soil with the occurrences of IP anomalies.
