1.0 SUMMARY The Harpoon and South Tally Pond Projects are located on NTS map sheets 12A/07 and 10 in the Lake Ambrose Area of Central Newfoundland approximately 20 kilometres south of the community of Millertown. The properties cover rocks of the Tally Pond Volcanics that are being explored for base metal VMS deposits within the same geological environment as the nearby Duck Pond Mine. The Harpoon and South Tally Pond Properties consist of 15 licences comprising 1154 claims for a total area of 28850 hectares. Paragon Minerals Corporation has a 100% interest in the mining and mineral rights to the Property. The Harpoon and South Tally Pond Properties are underlain by felsic and mafic volcanic rocks, with interbedded clastic sediments of the Tally Pond Volcanics, which form a part of the larger Victoria Lake Supergroup in Central Newfoundland. These volcanic and sedimentary units strike northeast and have variable northwest and southeast dips through the properties. The felsic rocks consist of rhyolite, quartz and feldspar porphyries, breccia and crystal to lapilli tuff. Mafic rocks are mainly flows with lesser tuff and breccia. These rocks are interbedded with conductive graphitic shale horizons which are apparent on airborne and ground EM surveys. The Tally Pond volcanic belt has been explored by Noranda from 1973 to 1998 with work beginning in the Beaver Lake and Harpoon Brook areas in 1979. An airborne survey of the belt, by Aerodat in 1974, was followed up by regional geochemical and geophysical surveys, reconnaissance geological mapping and prospecting. Several grids of various sizes were cut over parts of the current Harpoon and South Tally Pond Properties, and several were covered with detailed geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys. Follow up work from these surveys included limited basal till sampling and gravity surveys, and lithogeochemical sampling. The majority of the drill holes targeting the resultant geophysical and geochemical anomalies and mapped alteration zones have been largely confined to four main areas; the Lemarchant Prospect, the Spencer’s Pond alteration zone, The Rogerson Lake alteration zone and the Gill’s Pond area. Additional drilling outside of these areas comprises cursory drill testing of short strike length airborne conductors. In total, 149 drill holes for 34,219 metres have been drilled within the entire Harpoon and South Tally Pond Project area, underscoring the underexplored nature of the western half of the Tally Pond Volcanic belt. In late 2007 Paragon made a significant precious metal rich base metal massive sulphide discovery at the Lemarchant Prospect. From December 10, 2010 to February 1, 2011, Paragon Minerals Corporation completed diamond drilling on licences 18539M and 18249M on the companies’ Harpoon Property. Work on licence 18539M comprised drilling one hole (DW11-01) totalling 443.9 metres. The hole was designed to test for the western continuation of the Duck Pond alteration zone west of the Duck Pond Mine, as mapped and interpreted by previous explorers and interpreted from nearby hole HP90-01 (the Duck West Prospect) the hole was designed to intersect at 250m. A total of 33 samples were collected for assay and 14 samples for lithogeochemical analysis. Assays are returned for all samples with no significant sulphides

to report. DW11-01 intersected dark green-grey-black, coarse-grained, homogeneous, massive gabbro, dark green-grey-blue, very fine to fine-grained diabase intrusions; massive felsic volcanic, lapilli tuff and breccias, and mafic dykes. Work on licence 18249M comprising drilling one hole (CT11-01) totalling 209.4 metres. A single drillhole (CT11-01) was designed to test a priority airborne AEM conductor (30 Siemens) in the vicinity of a historic Zn-in-till anomaly and trenching completed in late 2005. The trench exposed pyritic shale/mudstone in contact with mafic volcanic rocks that bears a similar appearance to the immediate hangingwall to massive sulphide mineralization at the nearby Lemarchant Prospect. Previous lithogeochemical sampling by Noranda in the area has returned intensely altered felsic volcanic rocks from this area. The conductor is interpreted to dip gently (10-15 degrees) to the north and the hole is designed to intersect 75-100m. Only 2 drill holes have been previously completed in the area (450 metres NNW) targeting the north end of what appears to be a continuous conductive unit. Historic hole 372-7 intersected a 20 metre thick sequence of graphitic shale and interbedded felsic tuff with pyrite and pyrrhotite. The graphitic shale is hosted within a conformable sequence of felsic tuff, mafic volcanics and feldspar porphyry (synvolcanic?). CT11-01 intersected grey-green to dark grey-black, bedded to massive locally graphitic greywacke and graphitic argillite near the top of the hole grey, fine-grained sparsely amygdaloidal basalt intercalated with lesser argillite lenses. The drill hole intersected a thick pyrrhotite-rich mudstone horizon (26 metres) explaining the conductor with assays up to 2.48% zinc, 0.14% copper and 1.1 g/t silver over 0.55 metres along the contact. A total of 75 samples were collected for assay and 11 samples for lithogeochemical analysis. 1 sample was taken for ultra trace level geochemistry using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectroscopy (ICP - MS). The results of exploration work completed to date (both current and historic) have demonstrated that the western half of the Tally Pond Volcanic Belt is underlain by several VMS-style alteration zones that have potential to host poly-metallic base metal massive sulphide mineralization such as that recently discovered at the Lemarchant Prospect and that currently being mined at Duck Pond. A work program comprising 9000 metres of drilling at the Lemarchant, Lemarchant SW, Beaver Lake, Bindon’s Pond and Duck West Prospects is recommended. Additional high resolution airborne EM and magnetics surveys are warranted to cover areas outside of previous surveying at near Quinn Lake and Gills Pond. The total estimated cost for the exploration program in 2011 is $1.5 million.

2.0 INTRODUCTION From December 10, 2010 to February 11, 2011, Paragon Minerals completed a total of 653.3 metres of diamond drilling in 2 drill holes on the South Tally Pond Project targeting base metal mineralization in the Harpoon property. This report covers the work completed and makes recommendations for suture work on the Harpoon Property. All data and work presented in this report are presented in UTM NAD27, Zone 21U, unless otherwise stated. 3.0 LOCATION, ACCESS AND PHYSIOGRAPHY The Harpoon and South Tally Pond properties are located on NTS map sheets 12A/07 and 12A/10 in the Lake Ambrose Area of Central Newfoundland approximately 20 kilometres south of the community of Millertown (Figure 1). Access to the properties is gained by travelling southwest 45 kilometres along the Buchans Highway from the Trans-Canada Highway to the community of Millertown, then by travelling south along the dirt road maintained by Teck Limited and Newfoundland Hydro to Lake Ambrose. Additional access is possible via Quinn Lake access (south of Beaver Lake), abandoned logging roads north of Beaver Lake (ATV access only), the active and well-maintained Duck Pond Mine Road and several un-maintained but truck-accessible logging roads in the Gills Valley (Gills Pond) area. The physiography of the Victoria Lake-Millertown region as summarized by Klassen (1994) can be divided into three areas geographically defined as the northwestern, southern and central areas, as follows: the northwestern area is underlain by gabbros and diorites forming the high (400-600 m) northeast-southwest trending ridges of the Annieopsquotch Mountains. The southern area, south of Victoria Lake, is a barren, gently undulating, peneplane of approximately 350-400 m elevation, which extends to the south coast of Newfoundland. The central area consists of the gently undulating and hummocky, heavily forested valleys of the northeast flowing Victoria and Tulks River systems. On a property scale, the area has a mean elevation of about 300 meters and is characterized by low, rounded hills. Second growth forest cover is interspersed with cut-over areas, several bogs and a few medium sized ponds (including Beaver Lake and Gills Pond) and small to medium-sized lakes (Rogerson Lake, Lake Ambrose and Quinn Lake). The property is drained by small brooks which flow northeast to Harpoon Brook. Bedrock exposure is generally less than 1%. The region is covered with a thin veneer of Pleistocene glacial till and outwash deposits typically 2-10 meters thick, but reaching up to 20 meters thick locally. The glacial cover is composed of as many as three separate till sheets. An earlier southerly ice flow direction (140o-170o) and a later northeast one (40o-60o) have been identified (Kean and Jayasinghe, 1980 and Klassen, 1994).

5.0 REGIONAL GEOLOGY The island of Newfoundland covers the northern extremity of the Appalachian Orogen. Four major tectonostratigraphic zones have been identified in this segment of the orogen. From west to east, these are the Humber, Dunnage, Gander, and Avalon zones (Figure 2). These zones record the opening and closing of the Iapetus Ocean in the late Precambrian and early Palaeozoic (Williams, 1979). The Humber Zone represents the continental margin of Laurentia and consists of Precambrian crystalline rocks overlain by Paleozoic shelf facies rocks. At the eastern margin of Newfoundland, the Avalon Zone represents part of ancient Gondwana, and is composed of late Precambrian plutonic, volcanic and sedimentary rocks overlain by Palaeozoic platformal sedimentary units. The Dunnage Zone comprises the vestiges of the Iapetus Ocean. Rocks within this zone include volcanic and sedimentary rocks of back-arc and island-arc affinity, associated intrusions, and ophiolitic rocks. Volcanism was active as early as the late Precambrian and continued sporadically until the Devonian. The Dunnage Zone has been subdivided into the Notre Dame and Exploits subzones, representing volcanic belts that formed on the Laurentian and Gondwanan sides of the Iapetus Ocean, respectively, and that were not linked until the Llanvirn (van Staal et al., 1998). These subzones are separated by an extensive fault system termed the Red Indian Line. The Gander Zone consists mostly of sedimentary rocks that were deposited near the eastern continental margin of the Iapetus Ocean, and have Avalonian affinities. The Harpoon and South Tally Pond properties are located in the Red Indian Lake-Victoria Lake area of south-central Newfoundland, within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage tectonostratigraphic zone (Figure 2). The area is underlain by rocks of the Victoria Lake supergroup (Figure 3; Evans and Kean, 2002; Rogers and van Staal, 2002). The Victoria Lake supergroup consists of a structurally complex, composite collage of bimodal Neoproterozoic to Ordovician arc-related magmatic and sedimentary rocks. These comprise at least six distinct lithologic assemblages, bounded by the Red Indian Line to the northwest and the Noel Paul’s Line to the southeast, with the volcanic packages defining an overall northwest younging arrangement (Rogers and van Staal, 2002; Valverde-Vaquero and van Staal, 2002; Zagorevski et al., 2003). From west to east the assemblages include: the Pats Pond assemblage (488Ma?), the Tulks Hill assemblage (498 +6/-4Ma; 495 ± 2 Ma), the Long Lake assemblage (~505 Ma), the Harpoon Brook Belt, an assemblage of pre-Caradocian clastic sedimentary rocks, the Tally Pond assemblage (513 ± 2 Ma, 509 ± 1 Ma, 512 ± 2 Ma, 514 ± 7 Ma), and the Burnt Pond/Spencer’s Pond assemblage (~563 Ma, 572 ± 4 Ma). The contacts between the different assemblages are high-strain zones, and are generally interpreted to be thrusts. The volcanic, volcaniclastic and epiclastic sequences constituting the northeastern part of the Victoria Lake supergroup are conformably overlain by a regionally extensive unit of shale and chert known as the “Caradocian Shale”. The shale horizon is in turn overlain by a flyschoid sequence of argillite, greywacke and conglomerate that ranges in age from Middle Ordovician to Early Silurian, and is succeeded by younger Silurian rocks consisting of subaerial, mainly felsic volcanic and terrestrial sedimentary rocks.

6.0 PROPERTY GEOLOGY The Harpoon and South Tally Pond properties occur within the Tally Pond assemblage (informally renamed Tally Pond group by Pollock et al. (2002); Figure 4). They define the Tally Pond group as the assemblage of volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks that extend from Victoria Lake northeast to Burnt Pond. These rocks are sub-divided into four sequences: the Lake Ambrose, Boundary Brook and Burnt Pond formations, and the black shale mélange. The Lake Ambrose formation consists of variably amygdaloidal, locally porphyritic, pillowed to massive mafic flows, with lesser breccias, autoclastic, hyaline and reworked tuffs, and dikes. These rocks are compositionally sub-alkalic basalts or basaltic andesites with a depleted island-arc tholeiitic signature (Figure 4; Pollock and Wilton, 2001). The mafic volcanics are intricately intermingled and interlayered with felsic rocks of the Boundary Brook formation, indicating synchronous deposition. These rocks are host to numerous volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits and occurrences within the Tally Pond volcanic belt (e.g. Duck Pond, Boundary, Lemarchant). The Boundary Brook formation consists of felsic flows that are variably massive to pseudo-brecciated and locally flow banded, breccias, tuffs and quartz porphyry with rhyolitic to dacitic composition and arc geochemical signatures. The Burnt Pond formation is an extensive unit of epiclastic sedimentary rocks comprised of greywacke, conglomerate, argillite, siltstone and minor chert. The sedimentary rocks contain dominantly volcanic detritus, with pyroclastic content and clast size increasing with proximity to the volcanic rocks, suggesting derivation from the adjacent volcanics. However, the sedimentary rocks are very rarely in direct contact with the volcanics, generally being separated by an extensive black shale mélange. Based on scant fossil data the mélange is tentatively correlated with the regional Caradocian black shale, although minor black shale layers are interfingered with the volcanic rocks of the Lake Ambrose and Boundary Brook formations. These interfingering black shale sequence commonly occur at the contact between the mafic Lake Ambrose formation and felsic Boundary Brook formation contacts and in places comprise massive bedded pyritic mudstone that is intimately associated with base metal massive sulphide mineralization (e.g. Duck Pond, Lemarchant). Along the southeast margin of the Tally Pond Group are a series of distinct bimodal volcanic and epiclastic rocks that were previously correlated with the Tally Pond volcanics. Recent dating at Burnt Pond returned an age of 572 ± 4 Ma, similar to the 565 +4/-3 Ma age of the adjacent Crippleback Lake quartz monzonite, rather than the ~513 Ma age of the Tally Pond volcanics (Rogers et al., 2006). Similar rocks, which underlie part of the South Tally Pond property at Spencer’s Pond, have Nd isotopic signatures identical to those of the Burnt Pond volcanics, and are probably also late Neoproterozoic. Further to the southeast, the 563 ± 2 Ma Valentine Lake trondhjemite occurs in similar position along the southeast margin of the Tally Pond Group. The late Neoproterozoic rocks, and in part the Tally Pond Group, are unconformably overlain to the southeast by the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate. This unit is interpreted as a fault-scarp, molasse-type sequence that is suspected to mask a Silurian or earlier structure (Kean and Evans, 1988a, b). Volcanic and epiclastic rocks of the Victoria

11

Dam Belt, which occur southeast of the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate, are tentatively correlated with the Tally Pond Group (Valverde-Vaquero and van Staal, 2002). 7.0 MINERALIZATION The Victoria Lake supergroup hosts numerous base metal-bearing volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, showings and extensive VMS alteration zones, and several gold deposits and showings (Table 2; Figure 3). This mineralization is distributed throughout all of the lithotectonic assemblages that comprise the supergroup. The Tulks Hill assemblage contains eight known sub-economic massive sulphide deposits, some of which are currently undergoing evaluation, including the Boomerang deposit of Messina Minerals which has an estimate for the Boomerang deposit (using a 1% zinc cut-off grade) of an indicated mineral resource totalling 1,364,600 tonnes grading 7.09% zinc, 3.00% lead, 0.51% copper, 110.43 g/t silver, and 1.66 g/t gold, and an inferred mineral resource of 278,100 tonnes grading 6.72% zinc, 2.88% lead, 0.44% copper, 96.53 g/t silver, and 1.29 g/t gold. Domino, adjacent to Boomerang and thought to be the same mineralized horizon, hosts another 411,200 tonnes inferred mineral resource grading 6.3% zinc, 2.8% lead, 0.4% copper, 94 g/t silver and 0.6 g/t gold (Messina Minerals press release, June 21, 2007). The Long Lake assemblage hosts four known massive sulphide lens that are currently undergoing evaluation. The Tally Pond Group contains five massive sulphide lenses at the Duck Pond and Boundary deposits, with an aggregate size of approximately 20 million tonnes, and calculated proven and probable reserves of 5.48 million tonnes grading 3.3% copper, 5.8% zinc, 0.9% lead, 59 g/t silver and 0.8 g/t gold. Teck Ltd. is currently mining the Duck Pond Deposit with the Boundary Deposit slated for later production. Several other sulphide showings occur within the Tally Pond volcanics. The Burnt Pond/Spencer’s Pond assemblage hosts a high-grade massive sulphide occurrence at Burnt Pond, and extensive VMS-style alteration zones. These VMS accumulations are associated with extensive hydrothermal alteration zones, which may be used as a guide to exploration in this environment. The felsic volcanics in the vicinity of the Duck Pond and Boundary deposits were subjected to pervasive vein silicification and sericitization. Within about 100 meters of the sulphide bodies the main alteration is strong to intense chloritization, with disseminated, stringer and semi-massive pyrite. A late stage carbonate alteration halo occurs, replacing chlorite alteration, immediately above, below and for 200 meters laterally from the Duck Pond deposit. The alteration consists of contorted calcite veins. Noranda discovered the Duck Pond deposit through follow up of alteration along the favourable felsic volcanic horizon. Since that time, lithogeochemical sampling by Noranda of the alteration zones associated with the Duck Pond and Boundary deposits, led to the recognition of a geochemical pattern which they termed the “Duck Pond Signature”. The Duck Pond alteration signature is characterized by plotting log(Hg/Na2O) versus log(Ba/Sr) (Collins, 1989a). Table 2. Significant Massive Sulphide Deposits in the Victoria Lake Group.

Similar alteration assemblages associated with disseminated and stringer base metal sulphide mineralization have been located elsewhere in the Tally Pond Belt. The most notable of these are the Burnt Pond Prospect about 20 kilometres northeast of Duck Pond, and at the Lemarchant and Rogerson Lake Prospects, about 25 and 30 respectively to the southwest of Duck Pond (Collins, 1994). The South Tally Pond project is located immediately southwest of the Duck Pond mine and hosts numerous underexplored VMS target areas such as the Lemarchant Prospect, and other areas including Bindon’s Pond, Rogerson Lake, Spencer’s Pond, Beaver Lake, Duck Pond West, and Gills Pond (Figure 4). Paragon’s exploration is focused on the Lemarchant Prospect where significant massive sulphides hosted by proximal altered felsic volcanic rocks have been intersected by drilling since late 2007. The Lemarchant Prospect alteration zone has been outlined over a strike length of 4 kilometres and consists of altered rhyolite with abundant disseminated and stringer sulfide mineralization. The altered rhyolite has a very similar alteration signature to those observed at the Duck Pond and Boundary deposits to the northeast. The majority of the historical drilling (14 holes, 3,018 metres) concentrated on an 1100-metre section within the central portion of this alteration zone and tested the stratigraphy to a depth of 160 vertical metres.

Since acquiring the South Tally Pond property in 2006, Paragon has focused much of its effort on the Lemarchant Prospect. Following-up anomalous base and precious metal results from drilling by Noranda (4.5% Cu, 5.7% Zn, 273 g/t Ag, 1.06 g/t Au over 0.30 m in hole LM92-7), Paragon intersected 0.77% Cu, 7.49% Zn, 2.13% Pb, 40 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au over 5.05 m in their first hole LM07-13. This hole is some 140 m down dip of LM92-7 and at a depth of only 160 m below surface.

Since the discovery, Paragon has completed 16,000 metres of diamond drilling in 42 holes at Lemarchant and has outlined a zone of significant sulphide mineralization over a 500 m strike length based on widely spaced drilling (> 50 to 100 m centres). Significant results are tabulated below (Table 3) (Copeland et al., 2007, 2008a, 2008b, 2010).

8.0 EXPLORATION HISTORY The Harpoon and South Tally Pond properties have been intermittently explored since the late 1970s for base metal massive sulphide mineralization following cursory exploration work by Asarco during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Asarco drilled a total of 3 holes testing relatively long strike length EM conductors resulting in the presumed intersection of largely thick sequences of black, graphitic shale, in the Beaver Lake and Rogerson Lake areas. The lack of drill logs, orientation, length and location information for these holes precludes any significant interpretation of what results may have been obtained. The earliest preserved record of diamond drilling within the property is from 6 drillholes completed in 1975 by Labrador Mining and Exploration Co. Ltd. in the Harpoon Brook area (Tuffy, 1975). The bulk of the exploration work was undertaken by Noranda and its various partners from 1973 to 1998. Systematic exploration work by Noranda resulted in the discovery of several base metal VMS deposits and occurrences (e.g. Duck Pond, Boundary, Moose Pond, and Lemarchant). In addition, geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted by Noranda in other areas throughout the Tally Pond Belt resulted in the discovery of several areas of anomalous geochemical signatures that are coincident with zones of altered volcanic stratigraphy with geophysical conductors. In total 149 drillholes for 34,219 metres have been drilled within the entire Harpoon and South Tally Pond Project area, underscoring the underexplored nature of the western half of the Tally Pond Volcanic belt. The majority of these holes have targeted four main areas including the Lemarchant, Rogerson Lake, Spencers Pond and Gills Pond alteration zones. Drilling in each of these areas other than at the Lemarchant Prospect is broad spaced (>100 metres) at best. Outside of these four areas sporadic drilling has occurred largely as initial testing of short strike length airborne conductors. Several exploration grids were cut to cover priority airborne conductors with the majority of the grids initially cut in 1981 to 1982. Subsequent re-cutting, extension and renaming of the grids was completed by Noranda in the early 1990s as outlined in Table 4. Table 4. Revised names for exploration grids in the Harpoon and South Tally Pond Areas. Old Grid Name Current Grid Name 371-1 Part of Cookstown Grid 371-2 BL-1 (recut in different orientation)371-3 Cookstown 371-4 Duckworth 371-5 Part of Cookstown Grid 372-1 Lemarchant 372-2 Spencers Pond 372-4 Prescott 372-5 Monkstown

372-6 372-6 372-7 Beaver Lake The following is a synopsis by grid/prospect area of work conducted by various parties in the South Tally Pond Area based on reports by Arseneau et. al. (1994), Collins (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994), Collins and Squires (1991), Coulson (1992), Gower (1987), MacKenzie (1985), MacKenzie and Robertson (1986), Rogers and Collins (1989), Rogers and Squires (1988) and Reid (1979, 1980a, 1980b, 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984). This report frequently references a summary marketing document outlining all the previous central Newfoundland base metal properties by Noranda (1998). In 2007 Paragon completed a detailed airborne EM and magnetic survey over the Harpoon Project area (Copeland, 2007). 8.1 Duck West Area (Harpoon Brook and Gill’s Pond North Areas) Exploration in the Duck West Area, formerly termed the Gills Pond North and Harpoon Brook Areas, were initiated largely by Noranda in 1979 (Reid, 1979 and Reid, 1980a, b). During 1979 Noranda completed 27.5 line kilometres of line cutting on grid 373-2 to cover and airborne conductor resulting from the 1974 Aerodat survey. The conductor comprises an ENE trending conductor that pinches out to the SW and is in contact with sediments to the north and Tally Pond volcanic rocks to the south (Reid, 1979). Also during 1979 Noranda collected 775 soil samples over the entire grid area. Sampling resulted in anomalous Cu (126 ppm), Pb (130 ppm) and Zn values, particularly in the east end of the grid. The high Cu values is located along L40W and forms part of 500 metre long, ENE oriented, anomalous trend with better values towards the east end of the grid (Reid, 1979). The high Pb value is an isolated Pb anomaly located at the north end of L20W. The east end of the grid is overall more anomalous in all elements but also coincides with a boggy area and metal scavenging was suspected. Still the anomalies are strong outside this area and were considered representative of bedrock effects and are best centred at L40W 100 metres north of the baseline. Work during 1980 on the grid comprised 23 line kilometres of C.E.M. Horizontal Shootback surveying, geological mapping of the entire grid, collection of the 35 till samples on 7 profile lines and 3.35 line kilometres of gravity surveying. The CEM survey located the main formational conductor from L40W to 0+00 where it runs off the grid to the east onto grid 373-1. The conductor thickens in the middle and lenses out on the western and eastern ends. The main formational conductor appears to consist of two or three beds of conductive material (graphitic argillite). Conductivity ratios are moderate to poor, however they are better on a semi-isolated conductor which flanks the north side of the main conductor between L8W and L20W. Geological mapping on the grid provided limited new information due to the paucity of outcrop exposure in the area.

18

Till sampling on 7 profile lines in the eastern part of the grid over the better soil anomalies from 1979, resulted in high Zn values (up to 9474 ppm) at the bottom half of the most easterly profile. No other base metal anomalies were correlative with this. In the profile furthest west high Cu, Pb, Zn and Ag were found 2 metres down the hole. All other samples in this profile were not anomalous. The gravity survey shows a very steep regional gradient on L40W increasing to the south. This may be due to the basic intrusion which forms part of the Harpoon Hill intrusive to the southwest. A 0.35 mgal anomaly was located over a 125 metre cord on L10W centred on 3+50N. This corresponds directly with the most northerly CEM conductor. The coincident 0.35 mgal gravity anomaly, conductor and isolated mag high are thought to be the result of pyrrhotite bearing argillite. During 1988 and 1989 the area was geologically mapped and HLEM (Max-Min), VLF-EM and magnetic surveys were performed on a re-established surface grid (Lee, 1989; 012A/0529). In 1990, Noranda completed drilling in a single vertical hole HP90-01 for a total length of 405.4 metres. The hole was drilled to test for fault offset mineralized stratigraphy representative of the western extension of the Duck Pond Deposit. The hole was located at 5+60E and 30+00W on the Harpoon Grid (re-cut grid 373-1?). The following is taken from the report by Squires (1990, pages 9, 10 and 11) regarding the rocks intersected in the hole:

“Hole HP-90-1 collared in a sequence of Granodiorite/granite with frequent narrow hypabyssal felsic dykes. Both of these lithologies have been intruded by later gabbro dykes which now make up >50% of the sequence down to 356.2 metres. Shearing and silicification of this sequence is frequent. Assays of silicified zones for Au returned negligible results. This sequence is correlated with the “Upper Block” stratigraphy which in the Duck Pond Deposit area to the NE consists of barren bimodal volcanics and later mafic and felsic intrusives which are thrust over the mineralized felsic stratigraphy of the Duck Pond mineralized horizon along the Duck Pond Thrust. “A two metre thick (356.2 to 358.2), 45o-dipping, weakly graphitic shear zone below this sequence is interpreted as being narrow counterpart to the Duck Pond Thrust which, as mentioned above, juxtaposes “Upper Block” and ‘Mineralized Block” stratigraphy. The style of deformation, presence of graphite and dip of the shear zone are consistent with this interpretation. “Beneath this shear zone and to the bottom of the hole, a volcaniclastic sediment was encountered which contains trace sulphides overall, but has local concentrations of up to 10% pyrite over 60cm. The volcaniclastic nature of this horizon, as well as the increase in sulphide content, suggests this stratigraphy is correlative with the Duck Pond mineralized horizon.

19

“The inferred existence of Duck Pond Deposit stratigraphy on this licence is tentatively confirmed on the results of drill hole HP-90-1. The lack of significant mineralization however precludes the recommendation of further drill targets at this time. Surface geochemistry, mapping and geophysics have reasonably eliminated near surface massive sulphide potential in the area.”

In 1990, a surface (EM37) and borehole TEM survey was completed on the Harpoon Brook grid and down hole HP90-1. The survey did not result in any significant conductors indicative of Duck Pond type mineralization (Collins, 1990; 012A/0604).

Since the completion of this drill hole, no work has been completed in the Duck West area outside of a property visit to the area in 2005 by Rubicon Minerals Corporation as outlined in the report by Sparkes (2005). The area is of great interest to Paragon Minerals Corporation. 8.2 Gill’s Pond Area In 1986 Esso Minerals Canada Ltd. staked the Gill’s Pond area following the recent discovery of base metal massive sulphides at Duck Pond. Mapping and prospecting indicated the presence of favorably altered Tally Pond felsics-mafics and sedimentary rocks. Assays from several newly discovered showings yield values up to 2,000 ppm Cu, 300 ppm Pb and 5,000 ppm Zn. Preliminary line cutting and Max-Min surveys were completed over several areas and many shallow EM anomalies were observed. Esso concluded that the strike extension of the host Duck Pond felsic volcanics were present immediately SE of Gills Pond. Further work including drilling was proposed (O'Sullivan, 1987). However, due to exploration cut backs, Esso optioned the property to Rio Algom Exploration Inc. During 1988 and 1989, Rio Algom completed gridding, several geophysical surveys (Ma, VLF, EM) and drilling 29 drill holes for 5,482 m (Figure 6; Thicke, 1988, 1989, 1990). Most holes were shallow (<150m) but helped to define the geological setting of the property. Many of these shallow holes and several deeper holes (400 to <525 m) intersected VMS-favorable rock types including sedimentary sequences underlain by mixed and favorable felsic and mafic volcanics, variably altered and intruded by a complex series of rhyolitic to gabbroic dikes and sills and larger intrusives. VMS style alteration (sericite, chlorite, carbonate, silica, pyritization, etc.) of these rocks, while not extensively strong is nevertheless present in most holes in weak to moderate amounts. Intense alteration and weak mineralization is also present in several of the deeper drill holes along the southeastern side of the property. It appears very likely that the Duck Pond VMS host rocks continue striking to the SW and underlie the Gills-Tally Pond Project in the SE; the favorable horizon would likely be 350 to >500 m below surface. 8.3 Beaver Lake Area (Beaver Lake, Duckworth, Cookstown and BL-1 grids)

20

Exploration activity in the Beaver Lake area began in 1981 with preliminary follow-up on the 1974 Aerodat survey. Several grids were established (371-1, 2 and 3, 372-4, 5, 6 and 7) covering priority airborne conductors in the Beaver Lake and Rogerson Lake areas. Several of these grids, covering a large area were subsequently renamed by Noranda as outlined in Table 4. Each of these grids was generally covered by a combination of prospecting, soil and or till sampling, geological mapping and ground EM, VLF, magnetics and gravity surveys were completed on most of these grids from 1981 to 1986. 8.3.1 Beaver Lake and BL-1 Grids The Beaver Lake grid was cut in 1981 to cover a 1200 metre long airborne EM conductor. Subsequent prospecting and geological mapping in the area by Noranda in 1981-1982 has outlined a 3 kilometre long VMS-style alteration zone. Ground geophysical surveys completed in 1981 and 1982 have confirmed the presence and location of the conductor and a gravity survey completed in 1983 shows that the ENE-trending EM conductor coincides with two separate gravity anomalies (0.1 to 0.25 mgal) located on each end of the conductor. The eastern and western gravity anomalies measure roughly 100 by 300 metres and 200 by 500 metres, respectively. Limited till sampling in 1983 over the gravity and EM anomalies has resulted in anomalous base metal values including 200 pm Cu, 88 ppm Pb, 1200 ppm Zn and 1.9 g/t Ag. Local outcropping felsic volcanic to the south of the conductive horizon comprises sericite-chlorite-silica alteration with Zn assays to 1.5%. Previous lithogeochemical sampling in the area has returned Duck Pond alteration signatures. An attempt was made in 1983 to trench the western conductor and till anomaly, but failed to reach bedrock. This target, despite its strong geophysical and geochemical anomalies was never drill tested. Prospecting and sampling in 2006 by Rubicon Minerals Corporation has located semi-massive pyrite float (hosted within felsic volcanic breccias) overlying the western gravity anomaly, proximal to the anomalous till samples. In 1987, Noranda completed diamond drilling on the BL-1 grid in hole BL-87-1 (Figure 5). Drilling targeted a north-south trending short strike length airborne conductor just north of Beaver Lake. Work during 1988 comprised geological mapping of grid BL-1. Two additional holes (BL-88-1 and BL-88-2) were drilled on the BL-1 grid to test the continuation of the HLEM conductor intersected in hole BL-87-1 (Rogers and Collins, 1989; 012A/0537). Work during 1989 comprised 2 days of prospecting and completion of a 10.5 line kilometre HLEM (Max-Min) survey over the grid (Collins, 1989b; 012A/0541). 8.3.2 Duckworth Grid The Duckworth grid was re-established in 1989 from the former grid 371-4 by the BP-Norex Joint Venture. Work on the grid during 1989 comprised 13.9 line kilometres of

21

line cutting and grid re-establishment and 12.8 line kilometres of HLEM. The max-min survey conducted in 1989 outlined an extensive and broad anomaly through the central portion of the grid. Previous work by Noranda indicated that the large conductor was likely related to underlying conductive sediments although at the time no testing via trenching or drilling was completed. The survey also outlined two weak to moderate strength conductors along lines 2100W through 1900W between 100S and 30S. Previous soil surveys indicate that these conductors are flanked by anomalous Cu and Zn with values up to 138 ppm and 262 ppm, respectively (Collins, 1989a). At the time Noranda proposed to conduct magnetic, VLF-EM and additional soils as well as extending the grid, geophysical and geochemical coverage to the west. During 1991, several days of recce prospecting were completed north of Beaver Lake. Prospecting at this time located an exposure of silica/chlorite stockwork alteration in felsic volcanics with 2-4% disseminated and stringer sulphide including pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite, named the Keats Showing. The showing is located over the Duckworth grid on line 12W at 125S, on the interpreted footwall to a strong formational HLEM anomaly. Assays from the outcrop include 1.11% Zn, 0.27% Cu and 8.56 g/t Ag. An angular float from the same area returned an assay of 0.19% Cu, 1.15% Pb, 0.91% Zn and 9.25 g/t Ag (Collins, 1992; 012A/0630). Additional work during 1991 on the Duckworth grid comprised B-horizon soil sampling over the western half of the grid (as proposed in 1989) and analysis of 551 B-horizon soils from samples collected over the east half of the grid in 1990. Work on the Duckworth Grid in 1993 comprised collection of 21 lithogeochemical samples for whole rock analysis, collection of 19 basal till samples across selected conductors and a limited gravity survey comprising 1.6 line kilometres. The gravity survey did not result in encouraging results and no further work was recommended (Collins, 1994; 012A/0724). 8.3.3 Cookstown Grid Noranda completed linecutting and geological surveying on the Cookstown grid from 1981 to 1982. In 1983, Noranda completed drilling in 2 holes 371-6 and 7 targeting airborne conductors in the central part of the Cookstown grid. The Cookstown grid was re-established in 1989 from the former grid 371-1 by the BP-Norex Joint Venture (Collins, 1989a). Work on the grid during 1989 comprised 13.0 line kilometres of line cutting and grid re-establishment, 11.2 line kilometres of HLEM and 11.0 kilometres of magnetics and VLF-EM surveys. The max-min survey conducted over the Coosktown grid outlined three moderate to strong conductive targets of which two are associated with coincident or flanking high magnetic anomalies. Two of the conductors resulting from the survey were attributed to previously drill tested and trenched exposures of graphitic shale, while the magnetic high is associated with outcropping gabbro (Collins, 1989a). One of the conductive zones, located along lines

22

300E through 500E at 600S at the time remained unexplained with follow-up soils planned for 1990. During 2005, Rubicon Minerals completed a short trenching program on the south side of the Cookstown grid targeting short strike length EM conductors and weak historic till anomalies. The trenching program was successful in exposing pyritic and graphitic mudstone in contact with mafic and felsic volcanic rocks with trace amounts of sphalerite (Sparkes, 2005). 8.3.4 Licence 11981M During 2003 Crosshair and Rubicon completed a high-resolution frequency domain EM and magnetic survey over the licence and ground further to the north in search for gold mineralized zones similar to that at the Jaclyn Zone on the Golden Promise property (Copeland and Newport, 2004). This survey outlines a zone of low resistivity that corresponds with anomalous lake sediments and soil samples (see below). The resistivity low could be attributed to black shale underlying the area (as is common) but no ground work has proven or refuted the presence of graphitic shale. Work during 2005 on licence 11981M included collection of 155 soil samples by Crosshair Exploration and Mining Corp. under an option agreement with Rubicon Minerals (Morgan et al., 2006). The soil grid covered an area surrounding an elevated Au (129 ppb), Zn (700 ppm) and Ba (1200 ppm) lake sediment sample collected by the government in 1977. Sampling resulted in anomalous Au (up to 115 ppb) and Zn (up to 366 ppm) along a line of small steadies following and east west brook. The samples, comprising largely organic humus, outline anomalous Zn over 300 metres. Follow-up prospecting by Paragon (this report) targeted the coincident Zn in soil and Au and Ba in lake sediment anomalies in search for base metal VMS mineralization (Copeland, 2008). 8.4 Rogerson Lake Alteration Zone (Monkstown and Prescott Grids) In 1981, Noranda completed linecutting on the Prescott and Monkstown grids following up on priority airborne conductors from the 1974 Aerodat survey (Figure 5). In addition soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys (CEM, VLF-EM, HLEM, magnetics and gravity (partial coverage)) were completed from 1981 to 1982. Till sampling was successful in outlining several areas with anomalous Cu, Pb, Zn and Ag, including two sites which returned greater than 5,000 ppm Pb (Noranda, 1998; Reid, 1981, 012A/0319). Subsequent trenching and prospecting of the till anomalies located numerous boulders of massive and banded pyrite. A heavy mineral separate of tills at one of these sites assayed 17.2% Pb. From 1983 to 1994 Noranda completed 28 drill holes for 3514.12 metres throughout the Rogerson Lake alteration zone targeting a combination of priority airborne conductors and semi-massive to massive pyrite exposed in trenches. The most significant results

23

were from drilling in which several holes intersected stringer sulphide mineralization within strongly altered coarse felsic pyroclastic rocks. One hole (MT-90-01) intersected semi-massive pyrite (up to 50%) over widths up to 0.5 metres, whereas another hole (PG-90-01) intersected several banded pyrite/argillite horizons within felsic volcanic rocks that returned assays of 7.54 g/t Ag and 7.88 g/t Ag over 0.8 and 0.4 metres, respectively (Noranda, 1998). Hole 372-11 intersected 2-4% sphalerite (0.77% Zn from 30.7 to 33.2 metres) within felsic volcanic rocks immediately beneath exhalative pyritic mudstone at the mafic-felsic contact. The Rogerson Lake alteration zone is a significant VMS-style alteration zone that extends for 5.6 kilometres, 700 metres wide and is centred on the north end of Rogerson Lake. Alteration comprises intensely chlorite-altered felsic volcanic rocks (rhyolite) with locally strong silica and carbonate alteration and ubiquitous disseminated sulphide (pyrite) mineralization. Massive pyrite float has been discovered on surface is several places. Previous broadly spaced (100 to 500 metres) drilling along the extent of the alteration zone comprises 28 holes for 3514.12 metres. Several drillholes (e.g. MT90-01, 03 and PG90-01, 04) have intersected stringer to semi-massive sulphides (pyrite) hosted within graphitic sediments and underlying felsic volcanics. Samples from some of these holes have returned “Duck Pond Index” alteration. The nearest hole to 372-11 is 500 metres to the north. In December 2000, Altius Resources Inc. optioned the South Tally Pond Property from Noranda. During the winter of 2001 Altius Resources Inc. completed 160.62 metres of diamond drilling in one hole (RL.01-01) at the western end of the Prescott grid area along the Rogerson Lake Alteration Zone (Barbour and Churchill, 2001; Smith et al., 2001). No significant results were obtained. 8.5 Lemarchant and Spencer’s Pond Areas During 1981 and 1982 Noranda completed linecutting on grids 372-1 (Lemarchant) and 372-2 (Spencer’s Pond) following up on airborne conductors. Soil sampling, ground geophysics (VLF-EM, HLEM, EM-37 (partial coverage) and magnetics) were completed on these grids by Noranda from the period from 1982 to 1994. Initial drill testing and trenching of the area was completed in 1983 with drilling of holes 372-1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Reid, 1984; 012A/0376). Each of the drillholes was successful in explaining the airborne conductors while discovering exhalative pyritic mudstone and stringer base metal mineralized footwall felsic volcanic rocks. Noranda did not complete significant work at Spencer’s Pond or Lemarchant from 1984 to 1989. Following discovery of the Duck Pond deposit in 1987, Noranda recognized that earlier work at Lemarchant had outlined a similar VMS environment to that at Duck Pond. From 1990 to 1993 Noranda completed diamond drilling in 3 holes at Spencer’s Pond (SP90-1 to 3) and 2,846 metres of drilling in 12 holes at Lemarchant (LM91-1 to 6 and LM92-7 to 8, and LM93-9 to 12). Significant historical results from the Lemarchant Prospect include:

24

• 7.4% Zn, 0.6% Cu, 6.3% Pb, 1515.0 g/t Ag and 11.4 g/t Au, over 0.6 metres (LM91-01);

• 5.70% Zn, 4.5% Cu, 0.33% Pb, 272.5 g/t Ag and 1.06 g/t Au over 0.3 metres (LM92-07); and

• 1.53% Zn, 59.8 g/t Ag and 6.1 g/t Au over 3.8 metres (LM92-08). Following the dissolution of the Norex JV, Noranda completed a GIS compilation of previous exploration data. Other work in the Spencer’s Pond/Lemarchant area included linecutting (Spencer's Pond 96 Extension Grid), soil sampling and a VLF-EM survey (Noranda, 1998). Altius Resources Inc. optioned the South Tally Pond Property from Noranda in December 2000 and during winter 2001 Altius completed 786.69 metres of diamond drilling in five holes in the Spencer’s Pond Area (SP.01-01 to SP.01-05). All drill holes were surveyed using Borehole TEM geophysics (Smith et. al., 2001; Barbour and Churchill, 2001; and Dalton, 2000). Also in 2001 Altius completed a limited program of geological mapping, drill core re-logging, and lithogeochemical sampling on the Lemarchant and Spencer’s Pond alteration zones, deepening of drill hole SP.01-04 and surveying the hole with bore hole TDEM. Baselines on the Lemarchant grid were refurbished in order to facilitate this work (Barbour and Churchill, 2002). Additional outcrop lithogeochemical sampling was completed in 2002 (Barbour and Churchill, 2003). In 2004, Altius completed re-logging of 14 diamond drillholes from the Lemarchant Prospect and one (1) diamond drillhole from the Rogerson Lake alteration zone. Altius also collected several lithogeochemical and assay samples from the historic drill core (Barbour and Churchill, 2005). A comprehensive geological mapping and lithogeochemical sampling program was conducted on the property that resulted in better definition of the extents of the Lemarchant and Spencer’s Pond alteration zones and led to the discovery of the alteration at Bindon’s Pond. The Spencer’s Pond alteration zone was determined to have a much larger strike length than previously recognized (Barbour and Churchill, 2004). Altius also conducted an 844.9 line kilometre airborne HTEM surveying that confirmed the extents of known conductors as well as discovery of numerous conductors in all three alteration zones outside areas of previous geophysical surveying. In 2005, Altius compiled existing geological and geophysical data and created new 1:5,000 scale geological base maps and completed 25.354 kilometres of linecutting on the Spencer’s Pond grid and a southern extension of the Lemarchant grid. The linecutting was completed to enable a planned TDEM ground survey over the area which was not completed due to a lack of geophysical contractors at the time. In 2006, Altius completed one (1)- 425m diamond drillhole (SP06-01) that was designed to test a borehole TEM anomaly along the Spencer’s Pond alteration zone (Winter et. al., 2006). Associated with the drilling, 9 kilometres of road into the Spencer’s Pond area

25

was rehabilitated. Drilling intersected zones of disseminated pyrite and base metal sulphides with concentrations from 1-5%. No samples were collected from the hole.

Paragon Minerals Corporation (“Paragon”) optioned the South Tally Pond Project from Altius in December 2006. From August 2007 to May 2008, Paragon completed 7,068 metres of diamond drilling in 19 holes that outlined high grade precious metal-rich massive sulphides, down-dip of the historic drilling completed by Norex JV (Copeland et al., 2008a, b), that assay as follows:

• 7.49% Zn, 0.77% Cu, 0.07% Pb, 40.29 g/t Ag and 1.21 Au over 5.05 metres from 164.5 to 169.55 metres (LM07-13);

• 5.26% Zn, 1.06% Cu, 1.52% Pb, 92.56 g/t Ag and 0.85 g/t Au over 5.40 metres from 203.5 to 208.9 metres (LM07-14);

• 9.46% Zn, 0.81% Cu, 2.13% Pb, 73.44 g/t Ag and 1.85 g/t Au over 14.60 metres from 219.0 to 233.6 metres (LM07-15); and

• 12.38% Zn, 2.61% Pb, 0.45% Cu, 50.32 g/t Ag and 0.74 g/t Au over 14.6 metres from 236.0 to 250.6 metres, including 8.1 metres of 21.04% Zn, 4.26% Pb, 0.72% Cu, 76.05 g/t Ag and 0.65 g/t Au from 242.5 to 250.6 metres (LM07-17).

• 0.47% Zn, 0.04% Cu, 0.07% Pb, 3.43 g/t Ag, and 0.08 g/t Au over 43 metres from 151.0 to 194.0 metres (LM08-25)

• 0.58% Zn, 0.08% Cu, 0.11% Pb, 2.87 g/t Ag, and 0.10 g/t Au over 51 metres from 324.0 to 375 metres (LM08-29)

Additional work completed included linecutting and grid refurbishment, a Pulse EM geophysical survey, soil sampling and interpretation of geochemical data collected during the drill program (Copeland et. al., 2008a, b).

During the summer of 2008, Paragon conducted a deep penetrating Titan 24 ground geophysical survey covering the felsic volcanic stratigraphy over a 1000 metre by 2400 metre grid from lines 98+00N to 108+00N and completed a 101 sample orientation enzyme leach soil survey over the Lemarchant prospect (Copeland et al., 2009). The Titan 24 survey has resulted in DCIP chargeability and resistivity anomalies on section that are spatially associated with known stringer to massive sulphide mineralization defined by previous drilling. In addition the survey has outlined anomalous chargeability trends to the west and east of the Lemarchant prospect that make excellent targets for future exploration. Drilling by Paragon in the fall of 2008 (3,000 metres in 9 holes) extended the known massive sulphide mineralization and associated stringer and alteration zone to the north and west of previous drilling (Copeland et al., 2009). Significant assays from the fall 2008 drilling program include:

• 5.92% Zn, 2.19% Pb, 0.68% Cu, 2.14 g/t Au and 102.7 g/t Ag over 8.10 metres within a broader zone of mineralization grading 4.98% Zn, 0.93% Pb, 0.48% Cu, 0.83 g/t Au and 37.7 g/t Ag over 26.85 metres (LM08-33); and

• 9.32% Zn, 0.45% Pb, 0.97% Cu, 0.26 g/t Au and 16.10 g/t Ag over 3.0 metres (LM08-37).

Between February 7 and April 1, 2010, Paragon completed 10 diamond drill holes, totalling 3,489 metres (LM10-41 to LM10-48; extensions to LM93-11 and LM08-24) and surveyed 11 drillholes (4,915 metres) with Pulse EM geophysics on the South Tally Pond Project (Copeland, 2010). The ten hole winter drill program focused on the Lemarchant massive sulphide discovery and included four infill drillholes on sections 102+50N and 103+50N and drill testing of down-hole geophysical Pulse EM conductors to the north (section 105N to 106N) and south (section 100N) of previously drilled massive sulphides. Highlights of the program include: • Infill drillhole LM10-43 intersected 30.10 metres of 9.30% zinc, 2.28% lead, 0.91%

copper, 60.37 g/t silver and 1.41 g/t gold (core length) including 17.05 metres of 14.80% zinc, 3.56% lead, 1.40% copper, 80.90 g/t silver, 1.35 g/t gold.

• Down-hole geophysics outlined a strong off-hole conductor extending 200-300

metres north of previously completed drillhole LM08-19 (North Target area). Drilling intersected 6.0 metres of 6.60% zinc, 0.68% lead, 0.61% copper, 28.38 g/t silver and 0.46 g/t gold (core length) including 1.1 metres of massive sulphide of 30.54% zinc, 2.94% lead, 1.50% copper, 88.9 g/t silver and 0.72 g/t gold .

9.0 2011 EXPLORATION From December 10, 2010 to February 10th, 2011, Paragon completed a total of 653.3 metres of diamond drilling in 2 holes (DW11-01 and CT11-01). The work was completed by Paragon staff and several contractors as presented in Appendix I. Drill logs for both holes are presented in Appendix II with analytical certificates presented in Appendix III. A summary of the analytical procedures used is presented in Appendix IV. 9.1 Diamond Drilling DW11-01 was drilled to 443.9 metres from January 26th to February 2nd, 2011 on licence 18539M. The hole was designed to test for the western continuation of the Duck Pond alteration zone west of Duck Pond Mine, as mapped and interpreted by previous explorers and interpreted from nearby hole HP90-01 (the Duck West Prospect) and was designed to intersect the alteration zone at 250m. A total of 33 samples were collected for assay and 14 samples for lithogeochemical analysis. Assays are returned for all samples with no significant sulphides to report. DW11-01 intersected dark green-grey-black, coarse-grained, homogeneous, massive gabbro, dark green-grey-blue, very fine to fine-grained diabase intrusions; massive felsic volcanic, lapilli tuff and breccias, and mafic dykes. The drill hole did not cross structure/stratigraphy that is interpreted to be the equivalent of the Duck Pond thrust as described at the Mine or interpreted to be intersected in hole HP90-01. Additionally the felsic volcanic rocks intersected in the hole are not significantly altered and do not show pyrite mineralization or chlorite alteration

27

similar to that hosted within mafic volcaniclastic sediments toward the bottom of HP90-01. Work on licence 18249M comprised drilling one hole (CT11-01) totalling 209.4 metres to test a priority airborne AEM conductor (30 Siemens) in the vicinity of a historic Zn-in-till anomaly and trenching completed in late 2005. The trench exposed pyritic shale/mudstone in contact with mafic volcanic rocks that bears a similar appearance to the immediate hangingwall to massive sulphide mineralization at the nearby Lemarchant Prospect. Previous lithogeochemical sampling by Noranda in the area has returned intensely altered felsic volcanic rocks. The conductor is interpreted to dip gently (10-15 degrees) to the north and the hole is designed to intersect 75-100m. Only 2 drillholes have been previously completed in the area (450 metres NNW) targeting the north end of what appears to be a continuous conductive unit. Historic hole 372-7 intersected a 20 metre thick sequence of graphitic shale and interbedded felsic tuff with pyrite and pyrrhotite. The graphitic shale is hosted within a conformable sequence of felsic tuff, mafic volcanics and feldspar porphyry (synvolcanic?). CT11-01 was drilled from February 8th to February 11th, 2011 with many additional days needed prior to drilling set up a water supply system as the closest water source was over 1.5 kilometres away from the drill site and trouble was encountered with freezing hoseline. Eventually a truck with a mounted water tank was brought in to supply the drill with water for drilling. CT11-01 intersected grey-green to dark grey-black, bedded to massive locally graphitic greywacke and graphitic argillite near the top of the hole. A grey, fine-grained sparsely amygdaloidal basalt unit is intercalated with lesser argillite lenses from a depth of 28.8 to 41.65 metres. At 41.65 metres a felsic intrusive unit (feldspar porphyry) is encountered along with narrow veins or stringers of base metal sulphide mineralization with assays up to 2.48% zinc, 0.14% copper and 1.1 g/t silver over 0.55 metres along the contact (41.1 to 41.65 metres). A total of 75 samples were collected for assay and 11 samples for lithogeochemical analysis. 1 sample was taken for ultra trace level geochemistry using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectroscopy (ICP - MS). 9.2 Statement of Expenditures A summary of expenditures by licence on the Harpoon Properties are below in Table 5: Table 5 – Statement of Expenditures.

10.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Drilling in hole DW11-01 was designed to test the western continuation of the Duck Pond alteration zone. The hole intersected a thick gabbroic intrusive unit likely correlative with the Ordovician-aged Harpoon Gabbro. This intrusive unit is more extensive at depth and to the north than was interpreted based on the results from hole HP90-01 (100 metres to the east), the aerial extent of the magnetic high from the airborne EM survey and limited outcrop exposure in the area. The extent of the gabbro at depth in this hole may signify that the rocks are dipping to the north in this area and that the drillhole largely proceeded down-dip. There is no direct evidence for this in the drillhole though and the hole did eventually pass into felsic volcanic rocks at depth. The felsic volcanic rocks display quite weak hydrothermal alteration with ACNK and Ishikawa indexes of 1.56 and 13.49, respectively. The Duck West area remains a compelling target for follow-up work despite the results from the current hole. Future drill holes in the area should be collared to the north in the black shale horizon and drilled to the south to test for the altered felsic sequence at depth. Drilling in hole CT11-01 was successful in testing the airborne EM conductor and determining that it is likely caused by a thick sequence of graphitic and pyrite/pyrrhotite bearing argillite. This sequence was exposed in a nearby (50 metres) trench in 2005 by Rubicon and was also encountered in drillholes 372-6 and 7 to the north. The conductor forms a 1.7km long conductive trend that runs in a NS direction to Beaver Lake in the north. Slightly elevated alteration indices in the felsic volcanics ACNK 1.66-1.86 and Ishikawa 31.88-57.26, the occurrence of vein or stringer base metal mineralization at the mafic-felsic contact and the strike length of the conductor make the Cookstown area of interest for follow-up drilling. Prospects or alteration zones that currently have the highest potential to host such deposits include the Lemarchant Prospect, Lemarchant SW, Beaver Lake, Bindon’s Pond, Spencer’s Pond, Rogerson Lake, Duck Pond West and Gills Pond on the South Tally Pond Property and the Lake Douglas East, Lake Douglas, Flexure and LOTW prospects on the Lake Douglas Property. Despite a strong effort by Noranda and several of its partners throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s the western half of the Tally Pond Volcanic Belt remains under-explored with many of the alteration zones lacking systematic drill testing and in some cases lacking systematic surface geochemistry or drilling at all (e.g. Beaver Lake Area).

APPENDIX IV- ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

Sampling Drill core samples are typically collected from 0.3 to 1.0 metre length sawn NQ drill core. Samples are placed in clear plastic bags together with a waterproof paper ticket depicting a unique sample number. Each bag is tied with cable ties and labelled with permanent marker. Samples were stored under the supervision of the sample’s collector (Paragon technician or geologist) and promptly shipped to Eastern Analytical in Springdale, NL for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn analysis. Sample pulps were then shipped to ALS Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, BC for sample preparation and analysis by either ME-ICP61, ME-MS81 or ME-XRF06 methods. Sample Preparation Eastern Analytical All sample preparation is completed by Eastern Analytical of Springdale to the following specifications. Samples are dried and then crushed, in two stages to approximately -10 mesh and split using a rifle splitter to approximately 300 grams and ring milled to approximately 98% -150 mesh. Ring mills are quartz cleaned between samples. A 30 gram sample is then split off for fire assay at Eastern Analytical while all remaining pulp (rock powder) is transferred to a small envelope and, with accompanying control standards, forwarded to ALS Chemex Laboratory Services Ltd., in Vancouver, BC for analyses. Remaining rejects are retained at Eastern for possible future use. Control Standards and Blanks Paragon staff routinely inserted prepared powder base and precious metal standard and natural blank samples (barren granite – Skull Hill Intrusion) one of each per 18 samples of natural drill core. Gold Assays by Eastern Analytical Limited Samples were analyzed for Au at Eastern Analytical Limited, Springdale, by fire assay as described below. Fire Assay:

A 30 g sample is weighed into an earthen crucible and mixed with PbO fluxes. Silver nitrate is then added and the sample is fused in a fire assay oven to obtain a liquid which is poured into a mold and let cool. The lead button is then separated from the slag and cupelled in a fire assay oven which contains a silver bead which contains the gold.

Sample Digestion:

The silver is removed with 1 ml nitric acid and then 3 ml hydrochloric acid is added to bring the Ag and Au into solution. After cooling, deionized water is added to bring the sample up to a desired volume. Then the sample is analyzed by the Atomic Absorption method.

Atomic Absorption (AA):

Samples are analyzed one at a time by AA (in batches of 24) with a value obtained by taking the average of three readings per sample. Unit is checked with a calibration solution after every 12 samples. Sample results are recorded manually and transferred to the manual data entry person where assay data is remerged with RMX sample number and tabulated into reports for certificates. Reports and standards are checked by the Chief Assayer before the certificates are release to the client. Sample Analysis by ALS Chemex Samples were analysed by ALS Chemex in Vancouver, BC ME-ICP61 or ME-MS81 or ME-XRF06. Samples of economic significance (mineralized) were only analysed via ME-ICP61 while samples of interest for lithogeochemistry and alteration studies, including some mineralized intervals were analysed via each of the methods outlined above. These assay procedure is outlined below.

Analytical Procedures

Geochemical Procedure – ME-ICP61

Trace Level Methods Using Conventional ICP-AES Analysis

A prepared sample (0.250 gram) is digested with perchloric, nitric, and hydrofluoric acids to near dryness. The sample is then further digested in a small amount of hydrochloric acid. The solution is made up to a final volume of 12.5 ml with 11% hydrochloric acid, homogenized, and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. Results are corrected for spectral inter-element interferences.

Four acid 'near-total' digestion (ME-MS81) Although the four acid digestion is able to disolve most minerals, it may sometimes be necessary to use even stronger dissolution techniques such as fusions in order to get fully quantitative results. However, in most cases, this procedure quantitatively dissolves nearly all elements for the majority of geological materials.

In order to be able to report the widest possible concentration range, this method uses both ICP-MS and ICP-AES techniques.

Whole Rock Geochemistry (ME-XRF06) The analysis of all the major oxides in a geological matrix is referred to as whole rock analysis , because the expectation is that for non-mineralized rocks, the sum of the major oxides should be close to 100% of the total composition of the sample. XRF is a non-destructive instrumental technique widely used for whole rock analysis. For high precision whole rock analysis we use XRF (code ME-XRF06) or ICP-AES (code ME-ICP06) and report the major and minor elements as oxides. Loss on Ignition is also reported. In addition to the major and minor oxides, a number of add-on options are also available with whole rock analysis.

Samples for whole rock analysis by XRF are fused using a lithium borate fusion.The melt is then poured into a mould and cooled to yield a solid glass disk. The disks can then be analysed and the elements determined by comparison with standard reference materials. A lithium borate fusion is the preferred fusion for Whole Rock Analysis (WRA) in which rock characterisation can be made through an analysis of major and minor elements. Tantalum also responds well to this fusion with follow up by ICPMS Method ME-MS81. At ALS Chemex, lithium metaborate fusions are carried out in an automated fashion using a Claisse-type fluxer. The fusion melts can be poured into disks in preparation for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis or they can be dissolved in acid for subsequent ICPMS analysis.
