SUMMARY

This report describes the logistics and results of a helicopter-borne magnetic/VLF geophysical survey carried out for Lydia Consolidated Diamond Mines of Canada, over a property located near Madoc, Ontario. Total coverage of the survey blocks amounted to 1,797.8 km. The survey was flown from September 24th to October 1st, 2000.

The purpose of the survey was to detect zones of conductive mineralization and to provide information that could be used to map the geology and structure of the survey area. This was accomplished by using a High-Sense MiniMag system with a GFCS II flight control system, supplemented by a high sensitivity cesium magnetometer and a four-channel VLF receiver. The information from these sensors was processed to produce maps that display the magnetic and conductive properties of the survey area. A GPS electronic navigation system, utilizing a satellite link, ensured accurate positioning of the geophysical data with respect to the base maps. Visual flight path recovery techniques were used to confirm the location of the helicopter where visible topographic features could be identified on the ground.

1. INTRODUCTION

A MiniMag magnetic/VLF survey was flown for Lydia Consolidated Diamond Mines of

Canada, from September 24th to October 1st, 2000, over two survey blocks located

near Madoc, Ontario. The survey areas can be located on NTS map sheets 13C/12, 13,

14.

Survey coverage consisted of approximately 1,797.8 line-km, including tie lines. Flight

lines were flown in an azimuthal direction of N450E for the Tudor Block and N200W for the

Grimsthorpe Block with a line separation of 25 metres.

The survey employed the MiniMag system. Ancillary equipment consisted of radar and

barometric altimeters, video camera, a VLF receiver, and an electronic navigation system.

The instrumentation was installed in an AS350B3 helicopter C-GECL which was provided

by Questral Helicopters. The helicopter flew at an average airspeed of 100 km/h with a

magnetometer sensor height of approximately 25 m.

Section 2 provides details on the survey equipment, the data channels, their respective

sensitivities, and the navigation/flight path recovery procedure.

In some portions of the survey area, strong winds permitted excessive bird swinging. This

problem gave rise to aerodynamic noise levels that are slightly higher than normal on

some lines. Where warranted, refiights were carried out to minimize these adverse

effects.

2. SURVEY EQUIPMENT

This section provides a brief description of the geophysical instruments used to acquire

the survey data and the calibration procedures employed.

Geophysical Flight Control System

Manufacturer: Fugro Airborne Surveys Type: HS-GFCS-II

The HS-GFCS-II controls, monitors and records the operation of all the geophysical and

ancillary sensors. Input from the various sensors is monitored every 0.01 seconds for

precise coordination of geophysical and positional measurements. GPS positional

coordinates and terrain clearance is presented to the pilot by means of a LCD touch

screen display and optional pilot indicator. The magnetometer response, 4th difference

and altimeter profile, plus profiles of the radiometric windows and VLF are also shown

on the LCD touch screen display for real-time monitoring of equipment performance.

Magnetometer

Model: Geometrics G822Type: Optically pumped cesium vapourSensitivity: 0.01 nTSample rate: 10 per second

The Larmor frequency output was processed by the MiniMag magnetometer counter

board that provides a resolution, without filtering, of 10 (ten) times per second (in a

magnetic field of 50,000 nT this resolution is equivalent to 0.005 nT).

Magnetic Base Station

Model: GeometricsType: Digital recording cesium vapourSensitivity: 0.01 nTSample rate: 1 per second

A digital recorder is operated in conjunction with the base station magnetometer to record

the diurnal variations of the earth's magnetic field. The clock of the base station is

synchronized with that of the airborne system to permit subsequent removal of diurnal

drift.

-2.2-

VLF System

Manufacturer: Herz Industries Ltd. Type: Totem-2A Sensitivity: 0.1 "/oStations: Seattle, Washington; NLK, 24.8 kHz

Cutler, Maine; NAA, 24.0 kHz

The VLF receiver measures the total field and vertical quadrature components of the secondary VLF field. Signals from two separate transmitters can be measured simultaneously.

Radar Altimeter

Manufacturer: TerraModel: TRA 3500ASensitivity: 0.3 m

At heights above 765 m (2500') the return signal may be lost and the recorded values drop to some meaningless value. The radar altimeter was mounted on the helicopter.

Barometric Pressure and Temperature Sensors

Manufacturer: RosemountModel: 1241M B2Accuracy: 5.1 ft @ s.l., 6.9 ft @ 10,000 ft

Digital Data Acquisition System

Manufacturer: Fugro Airborne SurveysModel: MiniMag SystemRecorder: Flashcard and internal hard drive

The output data is recorded digitally on a flashcard and internal hard drive ten times per second and then downloaded to the field workstation PC at the survey base for verification, backup and preparation of in-field products.

Video Flight Path Recording System

Type: Panasonic VHS Colour Video Camera (NTSC) Model: AG 2400/WVCD132

Information overlain on the video image includes flight number, line number, DOS time, OPS week second, and latitude and longitude. The videotapes were manually labeled with the flight number and date for external identification.

-2.3-

Navigation (Global Positioning System)

Airborne Receiver:

Model: Novatel 3751Type: twelve-channelAccuracy: Manufacturer's stated accuracy is better than 10 metres

real-timeThe GPS airborne receiver was mounted on the towed bird.

Base Station:

Model: NovAtel3151R Type: twelve-channel L1 external GPScard Accuracy: 0.75 metres real-time differential

2 metres post-processed

Although the base station receiver is able to calculate its own latitude and longitude, a higher degree of accuracy can be obtained if the reference unit is established on a known benchmark or triangulation point. For this survey, the GPS station was located at latitude

N 0440 32' 58.1931", longitude W 0770 19' 53.1481" at an elevation of 140.02 m a.s.l. The GPS records data relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid, which is the basis of the revised North American Datum (NAD83). Conversion software is used to transform the WGS84 coordinates to the NAD27 (Manitoba SOnt) system displayed on the base maps.

Field Workstation

A PC is used at the survey base to verify data quality and completeness. Flight data is transferred to the PC hard drive to permit the creation of a database using a proprietary

software package. This process allows the field operators to display both the positional

(flight path) and geophysical data on a screen or printer.

Table 3-1 lists the maps and products that have been provided under the terms of the survey agreement. Other products can be prepared from the existing dataset, if requested. These include magnetic enhancements or derivatives, digital terrain or ternary maps. Most parameters can be displayed as contours, profiles, or in colour.

Base Maps

Base maps of the survey area have been produced from published topographic maps. These provide a relatively accurate, distortion-free base which facilitates correlation of the navigation data to the UTM grid. The original topographic maps are scanned to a bitmap format and combined with geophysical data for plotting the final maps. All maps are created using the following parameters:

Total Magnetic Field

Diurnal activity recorded at the base station was time-stamped with the GPS week

seconds. Spikes are removed and interpolated to 0.1 seconds before being merged with

the airborne data. The diurnal is subtracted from the raw total field magnetics.

Errors in time caused by a data transfer delay in the acquisition system is commonly called

the lag. The difference in time between prominent peaks flown in opposite directions is

twice the lag, and the lag correction is therefore one half of this time difference.

Total field magnetic data varies from line to line due to several factors, such as diurnal

activity, lag and difference in terrain clearance. Even after diurnal and lag corrections,

data will still have some residual errors left in it. Those residuals combined with level

errors caused by survey altitude differences between lines will make the magnetic data still

unsuitable for final presentation. To correct the problem, control lines, perpendicular to

-3.3-

traverse lines, are always flown during a survey, and are to be used to minimize line to line

level noise.

The effective wavelength of control line correction is twice the control line spacing,

because the corrections for points in between are linearly interpolated from the corrections

calculated at the two intersections. Any higher order corrections of wavelength less than

the control line spacing is not possible with the control line leveling technique.

Microleveling is an enhancement leveling technique mostly suited in corrections with

wavelength less than control line spacing where normal control line leveling is no longer

effective. It is essentially a 'decorrugation' filtering process, which seeks to remove level

noise. A decorrugation filter as applied to grids is usually elliptically shaped, and

orientated with major axis along the traverse line direction. The length of its major axis is

in the order of control line spacing, whilst the length of its minor axis is in the order of twice

traverse line spacing. Any small features, hopefully mostly noise, which can be enclosed

by the decorrugation filter, will be removed. The microleveling corrections calculated from

the grids were 'threaded' into a database channel, low-pass filtered, and applied to profile

data.

Since microleveling does not have the ability to distinguish valid magnetic anomalies from

noise features of similar wavelength, it should be used with extreme caution. Microleveling

can remove noise as well as valid signal. To prevent unwarranted data distortion,

microleveling corrections are kept to a bare minimum. However, without microleveling, low

level noise features are still quite evident in shaded relief image of the total field

magnetics, or the calculated second vertical derivative. Therefore, the tradeoff between

data quality and very minor reduction in signal is necessary through microleveling, which

has become a commonly used standard processing procedure in geophysical exploration

industry.

Magnetic Derivatives (optional)

The total magnetic field data can be subjected to a variety of filtering techniques to yield

maps of the following:

enhanced magneticshorizontal derivativesvertical derivativesreduction to the pole/equatormagnetic susceptibility with reduction to the pole

upward/downward continuations

analytic signal

All of these filtering techniques improve the recognition of near-surface magnetic bodies,

with the exception of upward continuation. Any of these parameters can be produced on

request. Fugro's proprietary enhanced magnetic technique is designed to provide a

general "all-purpose" map, combining the more useful features of the above parameters.

-3.4-

VLF

The VLF total field data is digitally filtered to autonormalize the response and to remove long wavelengths such as those caused by variations in the transmitted field strength. Further high frequency suppression results in an effective band pass filter for the final display of the total field VLF. The total field response from the Line (NAA) channel of the VLF have been filtered in this way.

Contour and Colour Map Displays

The geophysical data is interpolated onto a regular grid using a modified Akima spline technique. The resulting grid is suitable for generating contour maps of excellent quality. The grid cell size is usually 25 07o of the line interval.

Colour maps are produced by interpolating the grid down to the pixel size. The parameter is then incremented with respect to specific amplitude ranges to provide colour "contour" maps. Colour maps of the total magnetic field are particularly useful in defining the lithology of the survey area.

Digital Terrain

The radar altimeter values were subtracted from the differentially corrected GPS-Z values, which were transformed to the local datum, to produce profiles of the height above mean sea level along the survey lines. These values were gridded to produce contour maps showing approximate elevations within the survey blocks. The resulting digital terrain contours were compared against published topographic maps. The data was manually adjusted to remove differences between the two. The data was then subjected to a microleveling algorithm to remove any remaining small line-to-line discrepancies.

The accuracy of the elevation calculation is directly dependent on the accuracy of the two input parameters. The altimeter value may be erroneous in areas of heavy tree cover, where the device reflects the distance to the tree canopy rather than the ground. The GPS-Z value is primarily dependent on the number of available satellites. Although post processing of GPS data will yield X and Y accuracy's in the order of 5 metres, the accuracy of the Z value is usually much less, sometimes in the 20 metre range. Further inaccuracies may be introduced during the interpolation and gridding process.

Because of the inherent inaccuracies of this method, no guarantee is made or implied that the information displayed is a true representation of the height above sea level. Although this product may be of some use as a general reference, THIS PRODUCT MUST NOT BE USED FOR NAVIGATION PURPOSES.

4. SURVEY RESULTS

General Discussion

The survey results are presented on 5 separate map sheets for each parameter at a scale of 1:5,000.

Magnetics

A Geometrics cesium vapour magnetometer was operated at the survey base to record diurnal variations of the earth's magnetic field. The clock of the base station was synchronized with that of the airborne system to permit subsequent removal of diurnal drift

The total magnetic field data have been presented as contours on the base maps using a contour interval of 2 nT where gradients permit. The maps shows the magnetic properties of the rock units underlying the survey area.

If a specific magnetic intensity can be assigned to the rock type which is believed to host the target mineralization, it may be possible to select areas of higher priority on the basis of the total field magnetic data. This is based on the assumption that the magnetite content of the host rocks will give rise to a limited range of contour values that will permit differentiation of various lithological units.

The magnetic results, in conjunction with the other geophysical parameters, have provided valuable information that can be used to effectively map the geology and structure in the survey areas.

VLF

VLF results were obtained from the transmitting stations at Cutler, Maine (NAA -24.0 kHz) and Seattle, Washington (NLK - 24.8 kHz). The VLF parameter does not normally provide the same degree of resolution available from helicopter frequency domain EM data. Closely spaced conductors, conductors of short strike length or conductors that are poorly coupled to the VLF field, may escape detection with the VLF method. Erratic signals from the VLF transmitters can also give rise to strong, isolated anomalies which should be viewed with caution. Regardless of these limitations, however, the VLF results can provide valuable additional information, particularly within the more resistive portions of the survey area. The VLF method could probably be used as a follow-up tool in most areas, although its effectiveness will be somewhat limited in areas of moderate to high conductivity. The filtered total field VLF contours from Cutler, Maine (NAA 24.0 kHz), the Line VLF channel are presented on the base map(s) with a contour interval of one percent.

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This report describes the equipment, procedures and logistics of the survey.

It is recommended that image processing of existing geophysical data be considered, in

order to extract the maximum amount of information from the survey results. Current

software and imaging techniques often provide valuable information on structure and

lithology, which may not be clearly evident on the contour and colour maps. These

techniques can yield images which define subtle, but significant, structural details.

APPENDIX C

Magnetics

Total field magnetics provides information on the magnetic properties of the earth materials in the survey area. The information can be used to locate magnetic bodies of direct interest for exploration, and for structural and lithological mapping.

The total field magnetic response reflects the abundance of magnetic material, in the source. Magnetite is the most common magnetic mineral. Other minerals such as ilmenite, pyrrhotite, franklinite, chromite, hematite, arsenopyrite, limonite and pyrite are also magnetic, but to a lesser extent than magnetite on average.

In some geological environments, an EM anomaly with magnetic correlation has a greater likelihood of being produced by sulphides than one that is non-magnetic. However, sulphide ore bodies may be non-magnetic (e.g., the Kidd Creek deposit near Timmins, Canada) as well as magnetic (e.g., the Mattabi deposit near Sturgeon Lake, Canada).

Iron ore deposits will be anomalously magnetic in comparison to surrounding rock due to the concentration of iron minerals such as magnetite, ilmenite and hematite.

Changes in magnetic susceptibility often allow rock units to be differentiated based on the total field magnetic response. Geophysical classifications may differ from geological classifications if various magnetite levels exist within one general geological classification. Geometric considerations of the source such as shape, dip and depth, inclination of the earth's field and remanent magnetization will complicate such an analysis.

In general, mafic lithologies contain more magnetite and are therefore more magnetic than many sediments which tend to be weakly magnetic. Metamorphism and alteration can also increase or decrease the magnetization of a rock unit.

Textural differences on a total field magnetic contour, colour or shadow map due to the frequency of activity of the magnetic parameter resulting from inhomogeneities in the distribution of magnetite within the rock, may define certain lithologies. For example, near surface volcanics may display highly complex contour patterns with little line-to-line correlation.

Rock units may be differentiated based on the plan shapes of their total field magnetic responses. Mafic intrusive plugs can appear as isolated "bulls-eye" anomalies. Granitic intrusives appear as sub-circular zones, and may have contrasting rings due to contact metamorphism. Generally, granitic terrain will lack a pronounced strike direction, although granite gneiss may display strike.

Linear north-south units are theoretically not well-defined on total field magnetic maps in equatorial regions due to the low inclination of the earth's magnetic field. However, most

-Appendix C.2 -

stratigraphic units will have variations in composition along strike that will cause the units to appear as a series of alternating magnetic highs and lows.

Faults and shear zones may be characterized by alteration that causes destruction of magnetite (e.g., weathering) which produces a contrast with surrounding rock. Structural breaks may be filled by magnetite-rich, fracture filling material as is the case with diabase dikes, or by non-magnetic felsic material.

Faulting can also be identified by patterns in the magnetic total field contours or colours. Faults and dikes tend to appear as lineaments and often have strike lengths of several kilometres. Offsets in narrow, magnetic, stratigraphic trends also delineate structure. Sharp contrasts in magnetic lithologies may arise due to large displacements along strike- slip or dip-slip faults.

VLF

VLF transmitters produce high frequency uniform electromagnetic fields. However, VLF anomalies are not EM anomalies in the conventional sense. EM anomalies primarily reflect eddy currents flowing in conductors that have been energized inductively by the primary field. In contrast, VLF anomalies primarily reflect current gathering, which is a non-inductive phenomenon. The primary field sets up currents which flow weakly in rock and overburden, and these tend to collect in low resistivity zones. Such zones may be due to massive sulphides, shears, river valleys and even unconformities.

The VLF field is horizontal. Because of this, the method is quite sensitive to the angle of coupling between the conductor and the transmitted VLF field. Conductors which strike towards the VLF station will usually yield a stronger response than conductors which are nearly orthogonal to it.

The Herz Industries Ltd. Totem VLF-electromagnetometer measures the total field and vertical quadrature components. The total field yields peaks over VLF current concentrations whereas the quadrature component tends to yield crossovers. Both appear as traces on the analog profile records.
