Introduction The subject properties were staked for their Uranium and Rare Earths potential using The Department of Natural Resources Online Mineral Claims Staking System. The claims are registered under Licence Nos. 020527M (7 claims), 020528M (3 claims) and 020114M (2 claims) near Lawn and 020665M (6 claims) at Famine Brook, Burin Peninsula.

Location and Access

The Lawn Licenses are located approximately 5 kms North of the community of St. Lawrence. Famine Brook is located 4 kms. South west of Grand Beach on the Burin Peninsula – both are approximately 340 kms. from St. John’s by paved highway. Access to both properties is by woods road from paved highway.

Previous Work A number of government mapping projects have been carried out on the Burin Peninsula beginning with minor investigations during the 1920's and 1940's, and further government/academic projects were carried out in the late 1980's to 1990's. These various projects were aimed at obtaining complete general geological coverage of the Burin Peninsula with emphasis on stratigraphic sequences, contact relationships and metallogeny, and also to investigate epithermal-related alteration and gold mineralization in the northeastern and western-central Burin Peninsula area.

Geology The regional geology of the area consists of Precambrian to Cambrian volcanic, sedimentary and plutonic sequences comprising part of the western portion of the Avalon Zone of Eastern Newfoundland. The Avalon Zone covers the Avalon and Burin Peninsula, and is part of a major tectonostratigraphic unit of the Appalachian Mountains, which continues southeastwards along the eastern seaboard of the U.S., to as far as South Carolina. The Avalon Zone represents a portion of the ancient African continent that remained accreted to the land mass of North America following continental collision during closure of the Iapetus Ocean, and subsequent opening of the present Atlantic. The general property area is underlain by Neoproterozoic mafic to acidic rocks of the Marystown Group, which is a bimodal succession of dominantly basalts and rhyolite, and an upper suite of late Neoproterozoic continental, alkaline basalts and high-silica

rhyolites. The Marystown Group is the most extensive volcanic succession present, extending over the whole of Burin Peninsula area. In the central and northern peninsula, the group is overlain to the west by volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Long Harbour Group, and is faulted against equivalent-aged sedimentary rocks of the Musgravetown Group to the east. In the Southwestern Peninsula areas, the Marystown Group is overlain by Cambrian and Devonian-age sedimentary and volcano-sedimentary rocks, respectively, and questionable Carboniferous-age(?) volcanic rocks of the Grand Beach Complex. In the southeastern Burin Peninsula area, several kilometers to the east and southeast of the present property, the Marystown group is thrust-faulted over a northeast trending belt of late Precambrian to Middle Cambrian sediments of the Inlet Group along the Lewins Cove thrust-fault system. The Inlet Group unconformably overlies the Burin Group, which consists of sedimentary and mafic volcanic rocks intruded by a large gabbro unit. This group, in turn, conformably overlies the largely conglomeratic sedimentary Rock Harbour Group. The various rock groups on the Burin Peninsula have been deformed into a general SW-NE oriented system of asymmetric, open, isoclinal and recumbent folds that are part of a broad regionally-flextured anticlinorium. Thrust slices are also present resulting from dominantly southeastward-directed tectonic movements related to the Salinic and Acadian orogenies. As a result, the folded units and their associated axial planar foliation cleavages generally have moderate to gentle northwestward dips. Structural trends along the southeastern Burin Peninsula suggest that the various rock units in the area occupy the west-dipping limb of a large anticline whose axis lies farther east in Placentia Bay. Southeastward-verging asymmetric parasitic folds in this area occur on a whole range of scales up to 1 km in wavelength. A number of small to medium-sized Precambrian plutonic bodies consisting of gabbro, monzonite, granodiorite, quartz diorite and granite, intrude the various rock groups and are thought to represent subvolcanic feeders to the volcanic pile. The Devonian-age St. Lawrence Pluton, consisting of alkaline to peralkaline alaskite and associated granitic rocks is the largest intrusion in the southern Burin Peninsula, covering several hundred square kilometers of area. This pluton intrudes most all other kinds of rock units in the area. Other smaller porphyry-style intrusives, including the Grand Beach Porphyry, the Clanceys Pond Complex, Rocky Ridge Complex, and the Winterland Porphyry, are chemically similar to the St. Lawrence Pluton, and are considered to be related satelitic phases. In the remaining part of the Burin Peninsula to the north, other large intrusions include the Swift Current Granite, Cape Roger Mountain Batholith, and Knee Granitoids, all of Cambrian (or earlier) age, and the Ackley Granite of Devonian age.

2012 Work The author, along with fellow prospector Keith Kelloway and Geologist Paul McNeill carried out reconnaissance of both properties while prospecting and mapping in the area. Rock samples were gathered for examination only and have yet to be assayed.

Conclusions and Recommendations Results from our the brief field work on the property in 2012 indicates that further work is required encouraged by historic reports of anomalous values of Uranium in lake sediment of U1 280 ppm and U8 295.4 ppm in the general area indicating a potential for uranium deposits either in the granite itself or in the contact zone adjacent to the granite. This is supported by the discovery of pitchblende along the road in blackshales near Little St. Lawrence Harbour. (The Radex Showing) The St. Lawrence granite in general is enriched in uranium compared to many other NFLD Granites. It is therefore recommended that a radiometric survey of the area be carried out plus standard field work (including use of a scintillometer), to gather samples from the area for assay.
