IntroductionThe author was retained, by Mortem Mining b Exploration Inc., to evaluate

and explore the Croxall-Vuksanovich Silica (C-V Silica) deposit in Shaw Township. This report is a summary of a surface-sampling program undertaken and supervised by the author during the fall of 1999. The area of work, claim 1229264, has been the subject of very limited exploration activity in the past. This activity consisted of linecutting, prospecting and geophysical surveys. Prior to the most recent staking there is no evidence or record of any trenching or drilling on the main claim.

Property Location and AccessThe project is located approximately 20 km southeast of Timmins in Shaw

Township. Refer to Figure 1.

Shaw Township is accessible via the Langmuir Road, which extends southward from Tisdale Street in South Porcupine. South Porcupine is located approximately 6 km east of Timmins. The property is accessible by crossing private property located on the north side of the Langmuir Road at the Redstone River Bridge. Refer to Figure 2.

ClaimsThe property, at the time of the work, consisted of 30 units covering

approximately 460 ha. The claim numbers are: 1177843, 1226632, 1226633, 1227634, 1227635, 1228836, 1229262, 1229264, 1229265, 1229266, 1236782, 1236783 and 1236784. The main area of interest is located wholly within the unpatented mining claim 1229264. The claim is in Lot 4 Con V in Shaw Township. Refer to Figure 2 and the following chart.

An option agreement between the stakeholders, Croxall and Vuksanovich, was made with Mortem Mining 8,. Exploration in August 1999. Claim ownership, at the time of the work, was being transferred to Mortem Mining S Exploration Inc.

Topography and VegetationThe topography of the area is flat with gentle rolling hills with

approximately 30 meters of relief. Most of the hills are glaciated outcrop while others are glacial deposits of sand, clay and gravel. The highest elevation within the claim block, located immediately east of the area of work, is 331 meters above sea level. The local watersheds drain into the Redstone River which in turn drains into Nighthawk Lake.

Vegetation consists mainly of spruce, jackpine, poplar, birch and alders.

Regional GeologyThe Abitibi Subprovince is an 800 by 300-km Archean "granite-

greenstone" domain situated along the southern margin of the Superior Province. It is dominated by supracrustal and granitoid rocks with a range of ages from 2.75 to 2.67 Ga (Ayer and Trowell, 1998). The Abitibi Greenstone Belt is the largest greenstone belt within the Canadian Shield and extends from Lake Superior in northcentral Ontario through into Quebec.

There are two major groups of volcanic rocks and associated sediments, the Deloro and Tisdale, in the Timmins area. The Deloro Group underlies the project area.

"The geology of the Croxall-Vuksanovich Property was mapped as a northwest-southeast series of gabbro intrusions, mafic volcanic flows, and chert- oxide iron formations. The entire sequence is situated along the northeast side of the large scale Shaw Dome, centered in Shaw Township." (Keast, 1999). The main sequence of interest for this report is the chert and iron formation members.

"Iron formation forms a conspicuous and persistent stratigraphic unit in the area, and is virtually confined to the upper formation of the Deloro Group. Oxide and sulphide facies are prominent; carbonate facies iron formation was rarely observed, and only locally forms minor intercalations with dominantly magnetite- and pyrite- bearing zones." (Pyke, 1982, p41)

"Oxide facies iron formation typically consists of alternating layers of magnetite and chert. The magnetite layers are 1 mm to 80 mm thick, average approximately 10 to 20 mm in thickness, and consist of fine-grained granular magnetite and minor (generally 10 percent) chert. Chert layers are light grey to white weathering and fresh, varying from a few millimetres to 30 cm or more in thickness, commonly average approximately 1 to 3 cm, and are almost invariably present in an amount in excess of magnetite-rich layers; chert-magnetite ratios are rarely less than approximately 3 to 2. The chert is recrystallized to a fine-

grained granular mosaic. On some weathered surfaces, a fine lamination, 0.05 to 1.0 mm thick, is discernable; this is suggestive of a primary layering. Rare grains of pyrite, pyrrhotite, and magnetite are common in the chert layers." (Pyke, 1982, P41)

"Minor black argillaceous sedimentary rocks from layers up to 3 m thick. Narrow, soft, dark green chloritic layers are locally present." (Pyke, 1982, p41)

"Sulphide facies iron formations are dominantly composed of white to light grey or pale red ferruginous chert. Layers of sulphide, graphite, argillite, and rarely minor magnetite form a variable part of many of the iron formation zones. Locally, very massive appearing finely granular chert constitutes virtually all of the exposed iron formation unit, as for example in northwest-central Shaw Township, 1.5 km southwest of Mt. Logano. Pyrite, generally associated with minor pyrrhotite, is the dominant sulphide and characteristically occurs in narrow 2 cm thick layers, fine disseminations, or stringers in chert. Other sulphide minerals include minor chalcopyrite, pentlandite, and rare sphalerite, and galena. In general, sulphide minerals constitute less than 10 to 15 percent of an iron formation; less commonly, zones contain 30 to 85 percent sulphide minerals and are up to 5 m thick." (Pyke, 1982, p41). Refer to Figure 3.

Property GeologyThe Eldorado Assemblage of the Deloro Group underlies the CV property.

This sequence of rocks consists of intermediate to felsic volcanics, iron formation and associated metasedimentary rocks and ultramafic flows and intrusions (Pyke, 1982). The Eldorado Assemblage outcrops around the Shaw Dome in a circular pattern.

Geological mapping, of the main claim, was conducted by Keast in 1999. "The mapping covers an area approximately 200 metres wide by 200 metres long. A small grid totaling 1,100 metres, with pickets every 20 metres was established for control purposes." Refer to Figure 4.

"The stratigraphy of the area includes a north-south trending east dipping package of mafic volcanic flows, oxide facies iron formation, chert formation, and pillowed mafic volcanic flows. Bedding and pillow facings indicate tops direction to the east with shallow 250 to 350 dips. A minor east-west shear was observed at one outcrop location, however no major structures were identified."

"The western portion of the area consits of massive mafic volcanic flows, dark green in colour, fine-grained with a low magnetic susceptibility (MS) signature. Immediately to the east of the mafic flow is a magnetite rich portion of the oxide facies iron formation, which ranges from 5-25 metres in thickness, and is strongly magnetic. To the east of the magnetite rich portion of the iron formation is a bedded white to grey chert horizon which on surface ranges from 50 to 125 metres in thickness (true thickness 85 metres). The chert is

recrystallized and thus has a granular gritty texture. The horizon has localized areas with moderate magnetite content, thus the MS varies from 0.00 to 72.0. Whole rock analysis from a number of grabs samples by the property owner returned SiO2 contents up to 9907o. Immediately to the east of the chert horizon is a pillowed mafic volcanic horizon, which is dark green in colour with a low magnetic signature."

Previous WorkThe immediate area of the current claims has been the object of various

exploration activities in the past. Exploration consisted of prospecting, trenching, geological mapping, geophysical surveys and diamond drilling in the search for gold, base metals and iron. There has been limited exploration in the area of the proposed quarry site. This area has been prospected and geologically mapped.

The local assessment files, located at the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) office in Porcupine, contains the following list of previous activities in the immediate area;

1947, Amshaw Porcupine Mines; mapping, magnetic survey for gold (diamond drilling elsewhere within the limits of a much larger land package). Assessment file T-142.

1961 to 1991, Dillion; prospecting, mapping for Fe (diamond drilling elsewhere within the limits of a much larger land package). Assessment fileT-518.

1969, Economic Mineral Investigations; geological mapping and HEM. Assessment file T-165.

1973, Pac Explorations Limited; geological mapping and geophysical surveys (IP and magnetometer), for base metals. Assessment fileT-182

1981, Hollinger Argus; magnetics and VLF, for gold. Assessment file T-1999.

1996, Outokumpu Mines; airborne magnetics and airborne electromagnetics for base metals (diamond drilling elsewhere within the limits of a much larger land package). Assessment files T-3848 and T- 3973.

1998 and 1999, Croxall; prospecting and trenching for silica. Assessment files T-4072, T-4076 and T-4247.

1999, Fudge and Associates, geological mapping and magnetometer survey, for silica. Assessment file T-4233.

Present WorkSince optioning the property in August 1999 Mortem Mining has completed

several phases and types of work. This report is limited to the surface-sampling program.

The surface rock sampling was conducted to obtain an overall grade of the exposed material. Most samples consisted of two or three fist-size rock samples or a series of uniform rock chip samples from a limited area. The total weight of a grab sample was 2-3 kg.

Initially a sampling program by a hand-held gas plugger (drill) was planned and was used in the acquisition of the first 16 samples. Due to the time spent in obtaining sample material and the difficulty with drilling the plugger was replaced by the more conventional manual method. The plugger was used to drill short, 0.5 to 1.0-meter, holes from which the cuttings were collected. Usually one or two holes were required to obtain the material required for assay.

The sampling interval for the cuttings and rock sample was on a rough 10- meter square grid. Refer to Figure 5. A total of 81 samples were taken. Appendix A contains a summary of all sample locations and silica results. Additional information in Appendix A includes results for iron content, LOI (loss on ignition), Gr. (chromium), sample type, rock code and color. The LOI usually refers to water, carbonate and other volatiles that are driven off when the sample is heated. Sample type refers to either cuttings (from plugger holes) or grab samples, which were obtained manually. Rock codes (rcode) refer to the various rock units that were sampled. Unit "1a" is the main chert. The two "powder" samples refer to samples obtained from blasted material when a hammer and chisel were unable to obtain material.

The average silica grade of all samples is 95.6907o. Separating the samples according to geology, i.e. chert [74 samples] and oxide (magnetite) iron formation [7 samples] gives respective averages of 96.2507o and 89.8207o silica. A further separation of samples based on sample type, i.e. drill cuttings [16 samples] or grab samples [56 samples], returns silica averages of 94.7707o and 96.7207o. The other major component of the samples, iron [Fe], returned averages of 2.96 07o (all samples), 2.4507o (chert samples), 8.3607o (iron formation samples), 3.4207o (cuttings) and 2.1407o (grab samples). Other elements, such as nickel, copper and cobalt returned geochemically anomalous results.

Conclusions

The following conclusions are made:

1) The surface-sampling program indicates the presence of high-grade silica over the full extent of the expose chert unit.

2) The main chert unit appears to dip eastward at angles of 25 to 40 degrees. The true thickness of the unit is unknown. The footwall is magnetite iron formation. There are narrow discontinuous subunits of iron formation within the main chert. The hangingwall is mafic volcanics and tuff. The main chert unit varies in width from 160 meters on the north end to approximately 50 meters in width at the south end of the outcrop. This variation in apparent thickness may be due in part to tectonic thickening along the major east-west fault that is projected to occur to the north.

3) The surface sampling indicates that iron is the major contaminant in the chert.

4) The average grade of all surface samples is 95.6907o silica.

5) The average grade of all surface samples from the main chert unit, 1a, is 96.7207o silica.

6) Sampling by mechanical means, plugger and airtrack drill, contaminates the material with iron.

7) Mining and processing methods may affect the grade of the material especially for the very high-grade products.

Recommendations - outcrop

1) Complete diamond drilling to determine the local geometry of the deposit.

2) Complete a series of short, closely spaced, vertical, diamond holes to delineate continuity of grade of the silica and to assist with definition of geometry.

3) Establish a detailed grid and conduct detailed ground magnetometer survey.

Recommendations - property

1) Establish a property wide grid, 100-meter line spacing and 20-meter station interval.

2) Complete a ground magnetometer survey.
