NTS Grid: 41P13SE

Point Location Description: Common claim boundary of the three claims on which all the drilling occurred

Location Method: Data Compilation

Access Description: Easy access to the general area is possible via a bush road which turns north off highway 144 some 10km east of Gogama. After passing the old fire tower - radio mast this bush road becomes an overgrown trail which passes the old claims five kilometres north of the turn-off.

Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - The target of the exploration was radioactive anomalies associated with north northwest trending lineaments.

Lithology

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - Kenogamissi Batholith.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Host rocks for the uranium mineralization appear to be pink to reddish syenite that has been extensively brecciated and to a lesser extent, reddish granite and pegmatite. The highest radioactivity appears to be associated with a flat-lying breccia zone that contains dark, greenish-black interstitial material. The younger pegmatite stringers are essentially barren.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - None found.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Radiometric assays of three samples of the breccia zone reportedly ranged from 0.48 to 0.54 lbs U3O8/ton.
