Previous Work

The L5 Target occurrence was discovered in the fall of 2004 by diamond drilling of coincident airbourne EM and IP anomalies.

Between 1903 and 1961 the ground in the Rambler area was explored by various companies. On January 20, 1961, Consolidated Rambler Mines Limited was incorporated and obtained a 30 year lease on the property. The East deposit was originally known as the B.A. Norris Zone and was discovered by trenching an oxidized zone. During 1961, Consolidated Rambler carried out gravity and self-potential surveys which indicated an anomaly. Six drill holes totalling 5,062 feet (1518.6 m) indicated copper values in widths up to 20 feet (6 m). By 1963, 51 holes were drilled outlining a deposit of 2,000,000 tons grading 1.65% Cu. Shaft sinking commenced in December 1964 and by December 1965 was completed to a depth of 1,125 feet (337.5 m). Production commenced on tune up basis in September 1966 and on regular basis in April 1967. In 1973, the shaft was driven another 527 feet (158.1 m) downwards. During 1974, drilling was completed to check the downward extension of the main ore zone and other potential at depth. Due to the low grade of the remaining mineralized ground and low copper prices, production ceased in December 1974. This property was held by Consolidated Rambler Mines Ltd. under Fee Simple Grant (Vol. 1, Fol. 51) but reverted to the crown as exempt mineral lands in 1987. This property is part of a study being carried out by the Nfld. Dept. of Mines who will invite exploration and development proposals on a parcel of properties once held by Consolidated Rambler Mines. On June 25, 1988, the Honourable Jerome W. Dinn, Minister of Mines, announced in Baie Verte that government has completed its evaluation of the proposals submitted for the exploration and development of the Rambler properties in Baie Verte and has decided to accept the proposal from the Rambler Joint Venture. The Rambler Joint Venture is a Group of three companies, Teck Exploration, Petromet Resources Limited and Newfoundland Exploration Company Limited, who have committed to spend $3.84 million on exploration of the Rambler Properties in the next 12 months. The financing of the $3.84 million exploration program will be provided by Newfoundland Exploration and Petromet Resources while Teck Corporation will finance and manage any subsequent mining developments.

GEOPHYSICAL EXPRESSION

The target is a coincident airbourne EM and IP anomaly.

Page 8 Geology and Mineralization

Geological Province: Appalachian

Tectonic Zone: Dunnage

Stratigraphic Unit: Pacquet Harbour Group

Geological Age: Lower Ordovician

Rock Type(s): Quartz chlorite schist, quartz sericite schist. The Baie Verte Peninsula is underlain by two distinct structural and lithic belts which are separated by a major arcuate, structural zone referred to as the Baie Verte Line (Hibbard, 1983). Rocks to the west of the Baie Verte Line belong to the Fleur de Lys Belt. This belt is part of the Humber Tectonostratigraphic Zone. The rocks lying to the east of the Baie Verte Line belong to the Baie Verte Belt which is part of the Dunnage Tectonostratigraphic Zone. This belt is comprised of four main lithic elements: 1) Cambro-Ordovician ophiolitic sequences of the Advocate, Point Rousse and Betts Cove complexes and the Pacquet Harbour Group; 2) Ordovician volcanic cover sequences of the Snooks Arm and Flat Water Pond groups; 3) Silurian terrestrial volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Micmac Lake and Cape St. John groups, which unconformably overlie the Ordovician sequences; and 4) and Siluro-Devonian intrusive rocks (e.g. the Burlington Granodiorite and Cape Brule Porphyry). The Cambro-Ordovician sequences represent vestiges of Iapetus and have been interpreted to have formed in supra-subduction zone ophiolitic and primitive island-arc environments. The Pacquet Harbour Group is an incomplete Early Ordovician ophiolite consisting dominantly of a moderately to steeply northerly dipping sequence of variably deformed and metamorphosed mafic volcanic rocks, lesser felsic volcanic rocks, mixed mafic and felsic volcaniclastic rocks, and shallow-level intrusive rocks. The base and top of the group are not exposed and the thickness is unknown due to a combination of poor exposure, complex structure, and complex stratigraphy; the maximum outcrop width across the group is approximately 15 km, though this does not represent the true thickness of the sequence. Along its southern margin the Pacquet Harbour Group is overlain by Silurian subaerial felsic volcanic rocks of the Cape St. John Group that is in uncomformable and extensional fault contact. The southern Paquet Harbour Group is also intruded by Silurian to Devonian, felsic plutonic rocks including the Burlington Granodiorite and the Cape Brule Porphyry; the latter intrudes the group to the west and south and the former to the north and east.

Page 9 Prospecting 2010-11 Lic # 018024m A total of 7 man days were spent on this property. We accessed the property via Quad in the summer and Snow machine last winter. We prospected the brooks and streams. We collected sed samples with a split spoon and or an auger. The samples were about 1 kg. The samples were collected in plastic bags. These samples were panned in a hot flow tub that we constructed at the shop. This was done to control quality of panning and to speed up the sampling procedure. We panned several brooks on the property but no gold was visible. Three samples were sent for assay from our traverses. No new showings were found. lic# 018032m A total of 3 man days were spent on this property. We accessed the property via Quad and truck and snow machine in the winter. Last winter we were able to access some of the river by machine. Also the river was walked last summer. Time was spent to locate old showings and cut lines. We prospected the brooks and streams. We collected sed samples with a split spoon and or an auger. The samples were about 1 kg. The samples were collected in plastic bags. These samples were panned in a hot flow tub that we constructed at the shop. This was done to control quality of panning and to speed up the sampling procedure. Several brooks on the property but no gold was visible. One sample was sent for assay. Old showing were not found.

Conclusions and Recommendations Due to the limited exposure in the claim area, detailed grids should be established at location of proposed cross cutting faults. A more detail soil sampling program should also be completed around areas with anomalous results from previous work on L-5 and new area located from the program proposed above. This should be followed by trenching, to fully assess the property potential. Geophysical surveys, including magnetic , IP and controlled-source VLF should be completed in more prospective areas. Previous drilling on L-5 should be drilled to the north to test the extension to old workings. A trenching program should be completed to determine the source of mineralized float.

Further prospecting and trenching in select areas should determine the next step in the ongoing exploration along the L-5 trend.
