SUMMARY

A diamond drilling program consisting of a single drill hole and follow-up BHPEM surveying was completed between March 25, 1998 and April 7, 1998.

The diamond drill hole was targeted approximately 300m vertically below previously drilled HL96-1 at the -550m vertical level. The drill hole intersected approximately 5.15m of sulphide mineralization grading Q.059% Cu, D.807% Zn/S.ISm, which includes 2.3m of massive sulphide.

Responses from the borehole pulse electromagnetic survey are weak, and the thickness and grade of base metal mineralization did not improve significantly from that intersected in previous drilling along the this horizon.

4.0 PREVIOUS WORK

Base metal exploration in the Confederation Lake volcanic belt began in earnest in the late 1960's with the discovery of the South Bay Cu-Zn VMS deposit by Selco Mining Corp. as a result of an AEM follow-up program. That deposit was subsequently developed and mined as the South Bay Mine with total production of 1.6mt grading 2.3Vo Cu, 14.7"}^ Zn and 3.5 opt Ag. Since that time, much of the belt has been systematically evaluated by Selco, through to the early 1980's, testing various near surface AEM targets. This resulted in the discovery of a number of shallow, small, high grade Cu-Zn deposits and prospects (Table II), with much of the belt screened and drill tested to the -100m level. Other active players in the area through the 1960's-1970's included Copperiode Mines which evaluated the Copperiode Cu and Cu-Zn occurrences discovered in 1962, and Hudson Bay Exploration and Development which discovered a number of Zn-rich sulphide zones in the SW portion of the belt, south of the Dixie 3 deposit.

From the late 1980's to the present, a number of exploration companies have been active in the belt including Noranda, Rio Algom, Inmet Mining (formerly Minnova), Inco and Cumberland Resources. Regionally, Noranda began a systematic exploration program in 1986-87 with the completion of a 1850 line km Questor Mk VI AEM survey, a regional lithogeochemistry sampling program, and geological compilation. Since that time, Noranda has acquired a number of project opportunities (including the adjacent Copperiode project to the Southwest) throughout the belt, carrying out detailed exploration programs involving geological mapping, lithogeochemical sampling, ground geophysical surveys (Mag, HLEM, l.P., Surface and Bore Hole PEM), and diamond drilling.

A brief exploration history of the Horseshoe Lake property is given below:

1965: Norite Exploration drilled 4 holes (1307 ft.) intersecting up to S.5% Zn/35 ft.

1969 -1971: Selco drilled 11 holes (3876.5 ft.) and completed geological mapping.

1984: Cominco completes Mag and UTEM geophysical surveys.

1989 -1990: Noranda completes recce lithogeochem sampling and HLEM, gravity surveys.

1991 -1993: Minnova carried out mapping, lithogeochemical sampling, surface PEM and drilled 3 holes to the -500 m level.

5.0 REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND METALLOGENY

The Meyer-Horseshoe property is underlain by a mixed metavolcanio-metasedimentary sequence of the Birch-Confederation Lake greenstone belt, within the western extension of the Uchi Lake subprovince. The sequence defines a northeast trending belt of Archean-aged rocks which extends from Confederation Lake in the east to Gullrock Lake in the west. The regional geology is provided as Figure 3.

The greenstone belt consists of three mafic to felsic volcanic cycles referred to as the Balmer (lower sequence), Woman (middle sequence) and Confederation (upper sequence) (Van Staal, 1998). To date, the Confederation Lake sequence, which underlies the property, is the only sequence with proven economic base metal mineralization as represented by the South Bay Mine (1.6 MT grading 2.307o Cu, 14.707o Zn). In addition, the Confederation Lake sequence also hosts a number of significant sub economic Cu-Zn base metal deposits and prospects (Table II).

The Confederation Lake volcanic sequence consists of interbedded mafic volcanic flows and intermediate to felsic pyroclastics with lesser interflow sediments. The mineralization is largely hosted by altered felsic to intermediate pyroclastics exhibiting chlorite-biotite-gamet-anthophyllite footwall alteration mineral assemblages. Regional lithogeochemical sampling of altered volcanics indicates widespread Na depletion, Mg-enrichment typical of VMS footwall hydrothermal alteration.

6.0 DIAMOND DRILLLING

A single diamond drill hole, totalling 794.9m of BQ sized core, was completed on the Meyer- Horseshoe property between March 25, 1998 and April 5, 1998. Drilling was carried out by Morissette Diamond Drilling, Balmertown Ontario.

The drill hole was designed to test the down-dip extension of a surface PBM conductor, at the - 550m vertical level, 300m vertically below previous drill hole HL96-1 (Harper, 1996).

A summary of the diamond drill program is given in Table III. The location of the hole is shown in Figure 4, a 1:10000 plan map (back folder), and a geological section is provided at a 1:1000 scale in Figure 5 (back folder). Assays and certificates of analysis are provided in Appendix IV.

HL98-4 (Figure 5)

Diamond drill hole HL98-4 was drilled to a final depth of 794.9m. The hole collared in a thick unit of mixed granite and granodiorite from 6.3-412.3m. Structurally below the granite is a unit of strongly, sericite-biotite altered, quartz porphyritic felsic flows, which are cut by several granodiorite dykes. From 494.0-554.4m the hole is dominated by felsic tuff, with local zones of felsic blue-quartz-eye tuff. The tuffs are well foliated and show weak biotite and local garnet alteration. Below this is an interval of mixed intermediate tuffs and thin mafic volcanics. The tuffs contain local disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite up to *\Vo over a few centimetres. Local magnetism is caused by zones which contain up to 707o magnetite. Felsic flows, with thin interflow felsic tuff layers are present from 613.85-679.0m. The flows are distinct and display a "web" texture due to anatomising biotite stringers and may contain quartz-carbonate filled amygdules near their contacts. Felsic tuffs with local thin lapilli tuff layers are found from 679.0-751.8m. Lapilli tuff layers range from 5-30 centimetres thick and contain S-10%, -^1-3 millimetre sized, siliceous, lapilli. Disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite and trace sphalerite are found locally near the bottom of the unit. The majority of the sulphide mineralization is contained within a mixed unit of felsic tuff and thin cherty ash tuff. The tuffs are biotite-garnet ± chlorite-sericite altered and contain S-7% sulphide stringers. A 2.3m thick massive sulphide interval is found between the two units of mineralized tuff. The massive portion consists of ~6007o pyrrhotite, 200Xo magnetite, 1-Vo sphalerite and trace chalcopyrite. Below the mineralization is an 8.8m thick unit of blue quartz-eye tuff. The hole ended in a quartz-feldspar porphyry.

7.0 LITHOGEOCHEMISTRY

A total of 24 core samples were collected for whole rock lithogeochemical analysis. Sample numbers correspond to the down-hole meterage at which the sample was taken. Samples were systematically collected at approximately 25m intervals or when there was an obvious change in lithology. Samples were analysed for the major elements (Si02 , AI203 , Fe203 , CaO, MgO, Cr203, Na20, K20, Ti02 , MnO, P205) and the elements Cu, Zn, Ba, Zr, Y, Rb, Sr and Nb at Chemex Labs Ltd. of Mississauga, Ontario. Sample descriptions, depths and certificates of analysis are given in Appendix IV.

The purpose of the lithogeochemical sampling was to identify major element enrichment/depletion trends typical of hydrothermal alteration associated with volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits (Table IV).

The enrichment trends are manifested by alteration mineral assemblages/processes such as silicification ^Si02), chloritization ^MgO, FeO), and sulphidization 0*FeO, ± Cu, Zn, Ag), associated with a corresponding disturbance (ie. depletion) of the highly mobile alkalis (Na20, CaO) due to hydrothermal leaching. Various alteration indices such as the Ishikawa alteration index (Al: (MgO + K20)7(MgO + K20 + CaO + Na20) x 100) can be used to quantify the intensity of the alteration (Table V).

INTENSITY OF ALTERATION

The alteration index together with variations in Cu-Zn metal distributions may be useful in identifying areas of alteration, which are characterized by significant metal enrichment thus identifying sites that are proximal to significant mineralization.

The whole rock lithogeochemical compositions of the samples collected from the drill hole indicate a dominance of felsic volcanic rocks. The majority of samples have a rhyolite geochemical composition except for a sequence of intermediate volcanic tuffs and mafic volcanic rocks from 554.4m to 613.85m down-hole.

The calculated ishikawa alteration indices for the samples range from 12 to highs of 98. The majority of samples that indicate intense alteration are within and directly beneath the granite. This is likely due to hydrothermal alteration near contacts, during the emplacement of the granite. Three moderate to high ishikawa alteration indices are noted within the intermediate volcanic rocks at 567.6, 587.0 and 610.0m down-hole.

8.0 BOREHOLE PULSE ELECTROMAGNETIC (BHPEM) SURVEY

8.1 Introduction

Diamond drill hole HL98-4 was surveyed with BHPEM by Noranda personnel J. Maclsaac, C. Debnam and S. Mccrindle between April 6 and 7,1998. The hole was surveyed to determine the potential lateral extent of the intersected sulphide mineralization, the relationship with the defined surface conductors, and to evaluate for possible off-hole conductive targets.

8.2 Instrumentation

A Crone Datalogger 8 channel PBM receiver was used with a Crone 2000 Watt PBM transmitter and a Honda 2 kW motor generator. The transmitter has a peak output current capability of 20 Amps, but smaller currents are generally used. Two current on times (10.8 and 21.6 ms), and 3 current shut off ramps (0.5,1 and 1.5 msec) are available.

For the borehole survey an axial or 'Z' component probe and an 'XY' or in-plane and cross component probe were used to measure the secondary fields produced by currents flowing in any conductive material. For each survey the primary field inside the loop is positive, outside the loop it is negative and no secondary influence on the primary field is assumed. The receiver has channel specifications that are listed in Table IV.

Synchronisation between the transmitter and receiver occurs via radio or cable link. In this case all synchronisation occurred through a cable link. Sensitivity is adjusted using a ten turn potentiometer mounted on the face of the instrument. Typical survey procedures employ a constant gain setting of 800, a 21.6 msec time base and a 1 msec shut off ramp however it is sometimes necessary to alter these parameters and the actual values are recorded on the final plots.

8.3 Interpretation

Results from a PBM survey of hole HL-98-4 are summarised below in Table VII. Two anomalous responses are visible in the drill hole. Anomaly A, at approximately 745m down-hole, is an off-hole response related to anomaly B. Anomaly B is an in-hole response from the massive sulphide mineralization from 752.3-754.6m down-hole. The conductive body is interpreted to continue down-dip and to the southwest. BHPEM X, Y, and Z component profiles are given in Figures 6 (back folder).

INTERPRETATIONEarly Channel off-hole response related to In-hole response described below.This strong narrow in-hole anomaly represents the response from the massive sulphide mineralization intersected from 752.3m to 754.6m. The cross component data suggests the mineralization continues down dip and to the southwest. However due to the relative size of this anomaly and anomaly A, it is doubtful that there is a significant increase in thickness of this mineralization.

9.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A diamond drilling program consisting of a single drill hole and follow-up BHPEM surveying was completed between March 25,1998 and April 7,1998.

The diamond drill hole was targeted approximately 300m vertically below previously drilled HL96-1 at the -550m vertical level. The drill hole intersected approximately 5.15m of sulphide mineralization, including 2.3m of massive sulphide (D.059% Cu, D.807% Zn75.15m).

HL98-4 was drilled beneath HL96-1, which intersected the best mineralization of the three holes drilled in the 1996 diamond drill program. HL98-4 tested the mineralized horizon at the -560m vertical level and sulphide mineralization did not improve significantly over that seen in HL96-1. Although the Borehole Pulse EM survey suggests that the mineralization continues down-dip and to the southwest, responses are weak. Any further drill testing of this horizon would have to be carried out at similar vertical depths along strike or increasing depths below HL98-4. Additional drilling of this horizon is not recommended at this time.
