Coldstream Property Location: 115 km west
of Thunder Bay, NW
Ontario
Property: 5,394 hectares
in staked and patented
mining claims
Access: Trans-Canada
Highway 11 and
Provincial Highway 802
Infrastructure: Power
grid, railroad and skilled
local labour nearby
Geologic Setting
Archean age Shebandowan Greenstone Belt within the Wawa Subprovince, host to past and present world class precious and base metal deposits
Gold deposits in northeast-striking shear zones on the property
Two significant gold deposits and one copper-gold past producer are located on the property, from NE to SW: the East Coldstream deposit, the North Coldstream Mine, and the Span Lake deposit.
Regional Trend
2009 Exploration Program Geological mapping, trenching, rock sampling
Generate drill targets
Span Lake: Confirmed Inco 1980’s work, delineate controls on gold
mineralization –confirmed extent of Moss Lake deposit on Foundation
property - generated additional drill targets
Burchell West: investigated historic gold occurrences
Broadhurst Peninsula: Mapping and rock sampling in an area with grab
samples up to 2.06 g/t Au from Alto Ventures 2008 work
Skimpole Lake: Confirmed historic gold anomalies
East Coldstream: Confirmed widespread mineralization at the deposit
Goldie Zone: Confirmed historic gold occurrences - 2.06 to 5.48 g/t Au
Iris Zone: IP conductivity anomalies coincident with anomalous gold
results from 2007 drilling-confirmed gold in outcrops
Span Lake Area
Adjacent to Moss Lake gold deposit (51 million tonnes –1.5 million ounces gold, NI43-101 compliant inferred resource)
Drill results include: 3.01 g/t Au over 7.45 m 3.67 g/t Au over 4.63m
Nine zones of anomalous gold identified

Channel Samples in Outcrop
5.1 million tonnes at 1.4 g/t (234,000 ounces gold) calculated by Noranda in 1990 for the North, Main and East zones (Historical resource not compliant with NI 43-101 standards)
Au mineralization starts on surface - historic resource estimate was based on relatively shallow drilling
The historical resource does not include the Sanders Zone, where 2006 drill results include 1.1 g/t Au over 23m
Mineralization plunges easterly - all zones open at depth
Winter 2010 drilling has demonstrated greater widths at depth in the deposit, potentially providing significant addition to the historic resource

East Coldstream Long Sections
East ZoneOpen at depth, with intersections
increasing in width with depth
Intersections from drilling to date
are less than 200m below surface
Sanders ZoneVery little drilling to date, a
potential expansion of the deposit
along strike to the east and to
depth
Goldie Zone

Recently acquired claims expand the property north of the East Coldstream Gold Deposit
2007 drilling targeted IP conductivity anomalies running sub-parallel to IP anomalies coincident with the East Coldstream Gold Deposit
Drilling encountered alteration and shearing similar to that observed at East Coldstream
2007 drill results include 1.27 g/t Au over 5m, 1.19 g/t Au over 4 m, and 1.28 g/t Au over 5.2m
