OPAP 1998: Report of John Ward, OP98-382, Project #1
Property Name: Jasperson Benoit Twp Gold Prospect
Target: Hydrothermal Lode Gold Deposit
Project To fill in with detail the OPAP 1994 Bouguer Gravity Survey, at 50 metre line intervals, anomalies "A" and "B", with 3.5 kilometres of line cutting , gravity surveying and optical leveling.
Property Location and AccessLocation: Benoit Twp., plan M326, coordinates 80 degrees 12 minutes west, 48degrees 19 minutes north, NTS Index: 42/A8, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario.
Access: The property lies central to the east half of Benoit Twp., being halfway between the communities of Kirkland Lake and Matheson, Ont. The property can be approached by automobile within one half mile on three sides: east, south and west. Access is gained by driving 3 miles east and 1 mile north by gravel road from Bourkes Corners on Highway 11.
The property consisted of 26 unpatented mining claim units totaling 1040 acres. The claims are: L884080 to L884083, L992204 - 5, L992254 - 5, L1059464, L1041489 -91,., L1110192, L1180034, L1186755-59, L1186761, L1190070, and L1201317- 18, all owned by John K. Jasperson, 18 Byron St., RR# 2, Stouffville, Ont., L4A 7X3. John Ward retains a 1.5 07o NSR interest in the above claims.
GeologyThe property is underlain by calc-alkalic andesitic flows of the Blake River series circa 2703 MYBP. The axis of Benoit Syncline, a possible midcontinent crustal sagduction axis, extending from Timmins to Val D'Or , transects the property east- westerly. The Black River Fault, being part of the Timiskiming Rift System transects the property from southeast to northwest. The intersection of the axis of the Benoit syncline and the Black River fault has produced extensive faulting, shearing and brecciation throughout the Jasperson prospect property. When coupled with considerable evidence of hydrothermal alteration throughout the property area, the above structures provide numerous potential hosts for lode gold deposition.
Except for 5 07o of outcropping area, the majority of the property is overlain by 20 metres of Ojibway clay overburden. Bouguer Gravity surveying in 1993 - 94 verified by reverse circulation drilling and rotasonic overburden drilling demonstrated that up to 55 metres of Matheson meltout till underlie the clay overburden by filling bedrock depressions. Except where deflected by bedrock
Page 1
depressions, the glacial ice movement direction for the upper and middle Matheson till is 160 degrees and 240 degrees for the lower Matheson till.
HISTORY of Development of John Jasperson^s Hydrothermal Lode Gold Prospect, Benoit Township, Ontario, Larder Lake Mining Division. Adit and incline shaft was sunk by Thompson-Mcleod Circa 1921 on John Jasperson's present claim #L884080, being southeast quarter north half lot 5 concession 3 Benoit Twp., following a 6 cm wide quartz vein which reportedly widened to 2 meters width 30 meters sub surface. Two wagon loads of ore were reportedly shipped to Kirkland Lake . Free gold was reported to have been found in several places along the vein.
Earl Gold Mines 1943-4 drilled 3 diamond drill holes averaging approximately 170 metiS within a 6 claim group centered about the Thompson-Mcleod shaft. These holes were collared in 1 to 2 meters of overburden and tested andesitic flows for quartz veins containing gold. The core was logged and sampled by J.W. McBean but no record was kept of the assays or the location of the drill holes. McBean noted massive pillowed and brecciated andesites with minor chalcopyrite, specularite and pyrite particularly within breccia fractures and pillow selvages.
In 1967 Noranda Explorations Limited, in agreement with INCO, completed a ground follow-up VCEM and Magnetometer Survey of an INCO Airborne EM Anomaly (Loon16-88 located 500 nnet^s north of the Thompson-McLeod shaft). After locating the anomaly with the ground follow-up survey, 2 drill holes were attempted. The first was intended to test the main conductor but was lost in deep overburden. The second tested a minor east-westerly trending conductor intersecting a 12 cm wide chloritic-graphitic banded zone. The drill hole was budgeted for 400 feet total depth and therefore stopped 30 meters short of the down-dip projection of the main conductor. P illowed dacite with numerous irregular carbonate threads and stringers was the predominate rock formation encountered.
John Ward verified with AFMAG EM in 1979 that the main conductor had a depth extent continuation in excess of several hundred meters. He then staked more than 30 claims covering the conductor and surrounding ground.
In 1979 KLIP flew an airborne input survey over Benoit Twp. No conductor was indicated over the Noranda-INCO conductor Loon 16-88. However using a 0.2 division threshold, coinciding II and III channel long decay anomalies were later identified by Ward through inspection of KLIP Input survey flight records.
Page 2
The KLIP overburden program in hole 1980-9, approximately 1200 rnelb down-ice from the Thompson-Mcleod shaft, returned a 99 percentile HMF assay of 150,000 PPB Au representing a 5 foot section approximately 52 feet sub-surface. 5 gold grains were observed on the shaker table which puts this Reverse Circulation hole in the 98 percentile category for gold grain count for the KLIP programme. This assay and gold grain count are of the same magnitude obtained in the KLIP programme 1 kilometre down-ice from the McBean open pit gold mine, Dobie, Ont..
John Ward optioned these claims to Minefinders Limited in 1982 following a visit to the property by Michael David, Chief Geologist, Malartic High Grade Gold Mines accompanied by Dr. McCaul Phd, Geological Consultant to Malartic High Grade. They found that the Geology and rock types in the area of the Thompson-McLeod shaft consisting of a progression from ultramafic 400 metffs south of the shaft through intermediate volcanic to rhyolitic 200 meters northeast of the shaft to be identical to the geology and petrography of the Malartic High Grade Gold Mine . Earlier mappings of the geology in this area do not agree with the above interpretation.
During 1982 to 1984 Minefinders cut a metric grid at 100 metre intervals over 40 claims covering the area of immediate interest. This was followed by geological mapping and magnetic surveying. Minefinders failed to keep the ground in good standing forcing John Ward to restake. The 100 metre grid interval of the magnetic survey was too widely spaced to assist in interpretation of the geology, furthermore interpretation was made to be even more difficult by evident magnetic drift correction errors of the order of 50 to 100 gammas in broad areas of very low magnetic relief.
In 1985 John Ward interested John Jasperson, a prospector in the ground and an agreement was reached whereby Jasperson would develop the claims holding 100 7o i nterest and Ward holding 1.507o NSR.
In the summer of 1986, prospectors Ward and Jasperson completed a Geonics EM16R survey of the main conductor area Loon 16-88 which indicated the presence of a weakly anomalous conductivity zone striking northwesterly with an interpreted width of 50 metres. Two AFMAG traverses verified a steep southwesterly dip. Self Potential detail surveying by prospector Jasperson and VCEM detail by John Ward were completed in an area of shallower overburden lying to the west of the main conductor.
In 1987-8 backhoe trenching of the till on the stoss side of the bedrock 200 to 300 metres west of the Thompson McLeod shaft returned 90 percentile gold grain count
Page 3
in comparison to the 5 years of OGS-BRIM backhoe overburden sampling. From inspection of BRIM data , Ward noted that 900Xo of 90-percentile backhoe gold-grain-counts in Matheson-lodgement-till lay 500 to 1500 metres down-ice from former producers or advanced gold prospects.
In 1988 J. Ward collected the 10 most highly angular fist sized clasts he could locate in the backhoe trenching area on the stoss side of the outcrops 100 to 300 metres to the west of the Thompson-Mcleod shaft. In 1989 these angular fist sized clasts were turned over to Bruce Jago for petrographic description and analysis. Bruce Jago's observations for these 10 angular clasts are sumarized in his letter June 10, 1989 to John Jasperson. A copy of this letter is included in the apppendix of this OPAP 1998 .report. His comments include the following:
"The petrographic study of the 10 rock samples revealed a suite of greenshist facies metamorphic grade intrusive and extrusive metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. All of the samples examined with the exception of JJ1 and JJ2 are substantialy CARBONATIZED, SERICITZED and/or EPIDOTIZED AND EXHIBIT STRUCTURES CHARACTERISTIC OF BOTH BRITTLE AND DUCTILE DEFORMATION. In short, these rocks have been STRUCTURALY PREPARED FOR MINERALIZATION AND HAVE A SUITE OF ALTERATION MINERALS CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT ENCOUNTERED IN MANY HYDROTHERMAL, PRECIOUS METAL VEIN DEPOSITS."
In his June 10 letter Bruce Jago also summarizes his analysis of 20 gold grains selected from the HMF fraction of basal till 100 metres to 300 metres west of the Thompson Mcleod shaft. H is comments include the following :
"All of the gold grains exhibit physical characteristics which can be attributed to physical processes operating in strictly glacial environments with only minor evidence of glacio-fluvial processes. The majority of grains are weakly rounded to strongly ovoid-tabular. There are several striking examples of subequant to equant and partially faceted grains. Surface pits are round to cube shaped suggesting the former presence of pyrite or quartz. Several grains are strongly intergrown with silicate minerals which occasionally protrude from the grain surface. Striated surfaces are common and 2 striation directions are typical. All of these physical attributes are typical of gold transported in basal till and suggest the gold grains have not been transported a great distance, perhaps less than 500 metres from the source lithology."
"Compositionaly, most gold grains contain minor to trace amounts of Ag and sometimes significant amounts of Si with or without minor Na, K, Al and trace amounts Ca, Fe, Mg and S. These contaminants suggest that the gold was
Page 4
intergrown with quartz, Na and K micas and possibly Ga- Fe- Mg- rich carbonate minerals or Fe- Mg- rich chlorite. THESE ARE TYPICAL GANGUE MINERALS ASSOCIATED WITH HYDROTHERMAL GOLD DEPOSITS, THE KIRKLAND LAKE CAMP BEING AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. THE PRESENCE OF Na, K- RICH MICAS IS PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT AS THESE ARE TYPICAL OF THE ALTERATION ASSAMBLAGE ASSOCIATED WITH GOLD MINERALIZATION RELATED TO ALKALINE SILICATE, INTRUSIVE ACTIVITY."
In November 1989 OPAP supported an attempt to penetrate the overburden with a Wink Sonic Vibracore Drill. This drill was unable to penetrate the 60 to 75 metres of overburden subsequently revealed by Reverse Circulation and Roto Sonic overburden drilling. Dr. Bruce Jago subsequently reviewed the results and advised we seek a more suitable drill with greater depth capability.
In 1990 OPAP partially funded 4 Reverse Circulation drill holes by Heath a Sherwood Drilling of Kirkland Lake under the management of Overburden Drilling Management of Nepean and under the supervision of John Jasperson. Holes #1 and #4 were processed for gold grain count and gold assay by Overburden Drilling Management. The assays for gold in the HMF (Heavy Mineral Fraction) and gold grain counts for both holes were in the 90 percentile range with respect to 5 years of OGS-BRIM overburden drilling results. Both of these holes were approximately 300 metete down-ice from the main Noranda-INCO anomaly (Loon 16-88).
Reverse Circulation Hole # 3 which lies a short distance from Loon 16-88, was processed in 1991 Hole #3 returned 71 gold grains with 46 pristine and 7 modified (7407o of total). This result encouraged completion of processing RCD Hole #2 which returned 132 gold grains of which 20 were pristine and 12 modified in Nov 1991. One 15 metre section of till near the bottom of the hole #2 returned only pristine and modified gold grains.
In 1991 Blegg Carbon Extraction for gold from twenty, 1 Kilogram lodgement till samples from 200 to 300 metres west of the Thompson McLeod shaft was carried out by Accurassay Labs of Kirkland Lake. Except for two highly anomalous results the free gold assays of the till returned 3 to 4 PPB gold for 18 out of 20 samples. The occluded gold assays of the till returned 15 to 18 PPB gold. Accurassay management verbally reported to John Ward that it is extremely rare that till occluded gold asssays are larger than till free gold assays. It is the opinion of J. Ward that a high occluded gold assay indicates insuficient milling of the clasts by glaciation, inferring an upice source of gold less than one and a half kilometres, the distance depending upon the hardness of the clasts.

In 1992 J Ward assisted by an OPAP grant cut 6 kilometres of new grid with base line striking north 50 degrees west followed by gravity surveying for the purpose of mapping overburden depths on the property. An 80 metre deep bedrock depression was indicated to strike northward from the vicinity of the Thompson Mcleod shaft and a 60 metre deep bedrock depression was interpreted to underlie the new baseline striking north 50 degrees westward across claim L884083.
With 1992 OPAP assistance J. Jasperson completed rock geochemistry on 78 samples of outcrop over approximately 9 square kilometres covering the Benoit claims. Gold, copper, antinomy, tungsten and arsenic supported the presence of a gold bedrock halo central to the claim group.
In January 1993 John Jasperson supervised a 2 Roto Sonic drill programme at sites identified by John Ward's Gravity Survey. One drill hole reached bedrock at 61 metres and the other was abandoned at a depth of 75 metres before reaching bedrock.
In February 1993 Arpad Farkas, Phd., carried out thin section studies of bedrock core samples of JJ93-N Roto Sonic drill hole. Farkas identified minor chalcopyrite in pillow selveges of highly altered andesite. Farkas also performed binocular microscopy and electron microprobe analysis of heavy minerals from the lower samples of Reverse Circulation Drill Hole JJ90-01. Farkas noted that none of the garnets analyzed are from kimberlites and the diopsides analyzed contained no detectable chromium. Farkas also noted the {Ilmenite grains analyzed contained less than 3 07o MgO and therefore are not derived from a kimberlite.
In July 1993 with 1993 OPAP support John Jasperson completed the processing of the Roto Sonic core ED Frey, Quaternary Geologist and former Staff Geologist, Wawa, Ont., completed logging the core of JJ93-N and JJ93 S identifying that the lower till predominating on the property,
was a melt-out till and not a fluvial Missinabi formation
After tabling by Overburden Drilling Management., 34 samples from the two holes returned the following results: JJ93-N produced 141 gold grains of which 7507o were pristine or modified and JJ93-S produced 144 gold grains of which 73070 were pristine or modified. These results compare favourably with the 99 percentile for the OGS BRIM project, 1984-87, where in 4 years 227 Roto Sonic drill holes produced 1488 overburden samples. The BRIM project covered 38

townships in the vicinity of the Destor Porcupine Fault, around Matheson, Ont. - an eastwest grouping just north of Benoit Township and the Jasperson Claims.
In 1993 the Geological Survey of Canada released an airborne EM INPUT and Total Magnetic Field Maps # 25053G and # 20371G at a scale of 1:20000. . The new airborne survey indicated the existence of input anomaly 2550N-"G" coinciding with the descriptive location of INCO's AEM anomaly Loon 16-88 approximately 300 metres due east of the Rotosonic north hole.
In March 1994 Doctor Chris Gleeson reviewed the overburden drilling and bedrock geochemistry to date for the John Jasperson Benoit Township project. Doctor Gleeson recommended a programme of REVERSE CIRCULATION OVERBURDEN DRILL HOLES which included overburden drill hole fences,spaced at 100 metre intervals? up-ice from ODH 1993-N. Gleeson also recommended detailed ground magnetic surveying of the area to assist in the better interpretation of the local geology and structures.
LineCutting,1994.11 kilometres of line cutting were added to the 1992 gravity survey grid. This new line cutting was started May 16, 94 and completed Aug. 18, 94. Lines were turned off by turning board. Pickets were chained at 25 metre intervals.
Magnetometer Survey18 kilometres of total field magnetic surveying were read at 12.5 metre station interval for a total of 1400 stations. Magnetic readings were drift corrected as close as possible to 1 gamma accuracy using base stations set with the assistance of a second magnetometer centrally located for control. The magnetic surveying was completed using a Geometrics model 486 nuclear precession proton magnetometer along with a Scintrex MP2 magnetometer as base station when setting magnetic control points. Magnetic surveying was attempted in May and June 1994 but was precluded by unacceptable magnetic field drift rates. Surveying commenced August 8, 1994 when magnetic storm variations were less than 5 gammas, and completed Oct. 30, 1994.
During the course of the survey, evidence of previous survey gridlines (Noranda - 1966, Minefinders - 1983) was noted and integrated with the survey base plan. Although the previous magnetic surveys of Noranda and Minefinders had drift control problems of the order of 100 gammas, their data was useful in guiding between-line contouring of the present survey results.
Magnetic Survey InterpretationThe major magnetic feature of the property is interpreted as due to Matachewandiabase dikes enclosed by the 58000 gamma contours. Discontinuities of these
Page 7
interpreted dikes have permitted interpretation of east-west striking faults central to the property as shown in figure 4, OPAP94.
Outside of the diabase dike contours, ninety percent of the survey area is noted to be magnetically flat except for magnetically low areas enclosed by the 57,800 gamma contours interpreted to be areas of siliceous hydrothermal alteration.
It is to be noted that the magnetic low siliceous alteration predates the Matachewan diabase dikes lying alongside, since the dikes would otherwise show loss of magnetization. These dikes evidently used the same crustal weaknesses for intrusion that allowed hydrothermal fluid penetration of the subject property.
The interpreted eastwest faulting in the area was probably caused by the Kapuskasing uplift and probably accentuate preexisting eastwest structural weaknesses.
Gravity Survey (QPAP94)Eleven kilometres of gravity surveying at 50 metre station intervals were completed during the 1994 OPAP season for a total of 220 gravity stations additional to the 6 kilometres of gravity surveying completed on the property during the 1992 OPAP season. Elevations were determined primarily by optical leveling with some fill in by barometrically determined heights.
Gravity readings were taken using a thermostated Sodin gravity meter readable to 100th of a milligal. Gravity survey results are shown in figure #3, OPAP94, at a scale of 1/2500 with Bouguer gravity computed according to the Geodetic Reference System, 1967. The earth's crust density of 2.67 grams per centimetre cubed was used to an elevation of 300 metres above sea level which is the general level central to the Jasperson property. Bouguer gravity corrections above and below this elevation used a density of 2.95 grams per GC reflecting the density of the prevalent pillowed volcanics on the subject claims. The Bouguer gravity calculations were identically determined and compatible with the 1992 OPAP survey of the Jasperson property.
Gravity Interpretation, OPAP94.The purpose of the gravity survey was to map deeply eroded bedrock and bedrock channels as an aid to interpret pathways of glacially dispersed gold grains that are likely to have come from a nearby source.
A deep channel is indicated to underly the northwest-southeast base line of the survey. The deep depression in the bedrock is probably caused by preferential erosion of the softer carbonatized bedrock.
PageS
Bouguer gravity lows identified as anomalies "A" ,"B" and "E" are more ovoid than the channel anomalies and are therefore interpretable as due to steeply dipping HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION PIPES of great depth extent, and as such in the opinion of John Ward and John Jasperson are strong candidates for being the source of anomalous gold grains in rotasonic overburden drill holes in "N" and "S". This interpretation is based upon a 2.50 grams per cc density for the HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION PIPE5and a 2.95 grams per cc density for the surrounding bedrock.
An interpretation of the Bouguer gravity lows "A" and "B" being explainable as due to kimberlite pipes is negated by Dr. Arpad Parkas' Feb. 1993 studies of RCD 90-1 Heavy Mineral Fraction garnets and diopsides very low chromium content. Dr. Farkas also noted that the HMF illmenite grains analysed for the same RCD hole contained less than 3 0Xo MgO and therefore are not derived from a kimberlite pipe source.
1995 QPAP Drilling Programme.In April 1995 an EM16R resistivity low was tested by diamond drilling as a possible source of pristine and modified gold grains encountered in the 1993 rotasonic and 1990 reverse circulation overburden drill holes. The test drill hole was located grid 275 metres NW, 115 metres NE, approximately 200 metres north of rotasonic drill hole JJ93-N (the most northerly overburden drill test on the Jasperson property.) Azimuth of the test diamond drill hole was grid NE (40 deg. east of true north) at a dip of 60 deg.. BQ core drilling by Heath and Sherwood Inc. commenced on April 1st and failed to reach bedrock by noon April 4th at a drill hole depth of 140 ft. It then became apparent that the only way to get a bedrock sample was to drill a vertical hole. The drill was moved northeasterly to 160 metres grid NE. Vertical drilling commenced the afternoon of April 4th and was stopped at SAM April 7 at a depth of 396 ft.
The drill core was logged by Mike Dyment in Swastika May 18 through 22nd, 1995. Assaying for gold and copper were completed at Swastika laboratory May 25 1995. Dr. Graham Wilson, Turnstone Geological Services Ltd., Toronto, Ont. performed 7 thin section analyses of the drill core Aug 1995, and found no evidence to support the presence of dacites inferring that the host rocks are metabasaltic. Dr. Graham Wilson identified thin section sample #3 as a probable lamprophyre. He also concurred with Mike Dyment that sample #4 is probably an altered and bleached crystal tuff. Dr. Wilson further suggested that sample #7 may be a meta siltstone.
Dr. Wilson also noted the ubiquitous presence of fracture filling carbonates, noting also the p^ominance of grey and darkbrown carbonates in the host rock groundmass.
Page 9
The drill core was heavily carbonatized throughout 171 ft. to 311 ft. but returned no gold assays greater than 10jDpb Au. The gold assay tenor throughout the non carbonitized sections of the drill core were 5 to 10 ppb Au. This suggests that hydrothermal activity remobilized what little gold there was out of the carbonatized section.
In the opinion of John Ward , geophysicist, the resistivity low tested by OPAP DDH95 was amply explained by the strong carbonatization encountered in the drill hole.
OPAP98 BOUGUER GRAVITY SURVEY
LINE CUTTING Detail line cutting on NW SE grid commenced in June 1997 and was completed in September 1997. Detail line cutting on line 550NW, 660 NW, 750NW and 800NW totaled 3,225 metres of lines chained and picketed at 25 metre intervals. Line cutting contractor was Brian H. Madill 142 Carter Ave., Kirkland Lake, Ont. P2N2A3. Contract was 3 kilometres line cutting with chainage picketing 25 metre intervals at S300 per kilometre plus GST 707o for a total of S963. J. Ward cut 225 metres Sept. 6 1998.
BOUGUER GRAVITY ELEVATIONS. A total of 5 kilometres of optical level elevations were surveyed June 24, 27, July 1 and Sept 6, 1998 covering 1997 detail line cutting (Line 550 NW, L650NW, L750NW, L800NW; including resurveying optical elevations L600NW, L700NW, and L800NW). Elevation closure loops were 10 centimetres elevation or better.
GRAVITY READINGS 3.225 kilometres of new gravity readings were read using a Sodin 100T thermostated gravity meter readable to 100th of a milligal. Gravity readings were drift corrected and tied to OPAP94 Bouguer Gravity data. The new gravity readings were read Aug. 7, Aug 9, Aug 11, Aug 14 and Aug16.
Bouguer gravity was calculated using GSR (1967) with Bouguer density 2.67 grams per cm cubed to elevation 300 metres above mean sea level. Variations in elevations on the property above and below 300 metres MSL used density 2.95 grams per cc to determine Bouguer gravity variations.
Gravity readings and elevations were adjusted to OPAP 1994 Bouguer gravity survey levels of the property. The 1994 and the new 1998 values were combined, mapped and recontoured at 0.2 rnilligals intervals as shown in fig. 2 of this report at a map scale of 1:2500
Page 10
The purpose of the OPAP98 Bouguer gravity detail was to determine if Bouguer gravity lows "A", "B" were joined by a buried bedrock channel and to discover any related bedrock structures.
BOUGUER GRAVITY DETAIL INTERPRETRATION Bouguer gravity low anomalies "A", "B" and "E" proved to be decidedly ovoid in form and therefore interpretable as caused by the presence of steeply dipping HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION PIPES (diameters 180 to 200 metres; density 2.50 grams per cc and depth extent greater than 1 kilometre). Background densities of enclosing volcanics, 2.95 grams per cc, are mapped by the OGS and Noranda as being andesites but in the opinion of the writer are believed to be silicified (albitized?) pillowed basalts (ref 1995, Graham C. Wilson page 1, line 4). Bouguer gravity profiles (figures 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 3E) indicate the presence of a small 80 metre diameter intrusive, (QFP?) doming central to interpreted hydrothermal alteration pipe "A". Depths to interpreted hydrothermal alteration pipes "A" S "B" are 30 metres of glacial till cover. Depth to top of interpreted small felsic intrusive doming central to interpreted felsic pipe "A" is 15 metres of glacial till cover. The eastern half of Bouguer gravity low anomaly "E" was not surveyed in 1994 because of heavy flooding by a temporary beaver dam and should be surveyed as a priority target at an early date.
A linear Bouguer gravity low indicates a buried bedrock channel anomaly running parallel and just south of the baseline connecting Bouguer gravity low "A" to JJ90JM and S, respectively lying 500 and 775 metres to the SW (ie. this is the direction of upper and middle Matheson (Wisconsin) glacial till down to a limit of 60 metres sub-surface . Glacial till buried deeper than 60 metres was encountered in Rotosonic drill hole JJ90-S. Magnetic content of these deeper glacial till beds indicate that they were derived from glacial till flowing southwest (ie. possibly sourced from Bouguer gravity low anomaly "E" and partialy from Bouguer gravity low "C").
A wider Bouguer gravity low bedrock channel is indicated by the OPAP98 detail to strike 240 deg. from the north end of anomaly "B". It is the opinion of the writer that lower Matheson glaciation would have pushed debris from interpreted pipe "B" into an area at azimuth 350 deg. to the north of pipe "A". It is further believed by the writer that this debris from pipe "B" would have been remobilized 160 deg. towards pipe "A" by the later upper Matheson glaciation.
Support for the model that gravity low "A" is a hydrothermal alteration pipe source for the anomalous gold grains in the overburden drilling on John Jaspersons property, is given by referal to Dr. Bruce Jago's letter of June 10, 1989. Dr. Jago noted that after Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) studies of 20 gold grains from
Page 11
basal till west of the Thompson Mcleod shaft, 1 kilometre down-ice from the interpreted "A" pipe, that in his opinion, (paraphrased) "most of the gold grains contain minor to trace amounts of Ag and sometimes significant amounts of Si with or without minor Na, K, Al and trace amounts of Ga, Se, Mg, S, typical of the alteration assemblage associated with gold mineralization related to alkaline silicate intrusive activity". A copy of the letter is appended.
An interpretation of the Bouguer gravity lows "A" and "B" being explainable as due to kimberlite pipes is negated by Dr. Arpad Parkas' Feb. 1993 studies of RCD 90-1. He noted that the Heavy Mineral Fraction garnets and diopsides had very low chromium content. Dr. Farkas also noted that the HMF ilmenite grains analysed for the same RCD hole contained less than 307o MgO and therefore were not derived from a kimberlite pipe source.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
OPAP98 Bouguer gravity detail demonstrated that Bouguer gravity lows "A" and "B" are not directly interconnected. The Bouguer gravity detail further demonstrated that the anomalies "A" and "B" are anomalies caused by ovoid, low specific gravity, steeply plunging pipes and are not anomalies caused by linear bedrock channel depressions.
It is further concluded that if "A" and "B" are caused by hydrothermal alteration pipes with related gold mineralization then, in overburden drill hole JJ93-N the nearest surface gold grains (depth 72 to 87 ft.) are sourced at anomaly "B" while the deeper gold grains (depths 92 to 200 ft.) are predominantly sourced at anomaly "A". This interpretation is aided by a Bouguer gravity interpretive bed rock channel low striking 240 deg. from "B" and an interpreted bedrock channel low striking SE from "A" through JJ93-N and JJ93-S.
It is also concluded from Dr. Bruce Jago's 1994 SEM study of 20 basal till gold grains, backhoe collected 1000 metres down ice from Bouguer gravity low "A" that "most of the gold grains contain minor to trace amounts of Ag and sometimes significant amounts of Si with or without minor Na, K, Al and trace amounts of Ga, Se, Mg, S, typical of the alteration assemblage associated with gold mineralization related to alkaline silicate intrusive activity", supports the model that Bouguer gravity anomalies "A" and "B" are explained by gold mineralized, steeply dipping hydrothermal altered pipes.
It is recommended that Bouguer gravity coverage of anomaly "E" be completed when Beaver pond flooding has subsided. Estimated costs S450 for 1.5 kilometres line cutting and S2000 for 1.5 kilometres of Bouguer gravity surveying
Page 12
It is also recommended that Bouguer gravity lows "A", "B" and "E" be tested by diamond drilling for economic gold mineralization. It is not recommended that anomaly "C" be drilled at this time due to excessive overburden depth and proximity to the fragmented structure of a nearby fault immediately to the east.

Bruce Jago Petrographic Services 1517 - 35 Charles Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Mb Y l R6
June 10, 1989
John Jasperson 18 Byron Street, R.R. i 2,Stouffville, Ontario, L4A 7X3
Dear John,
Further to our telephone conversation of early last week, I have prepared a summary of the two geological reports that I prepared for you, dated February l/* and May 12, 1989.
The February 14 report concerned the morphology and qualitative geochemical analysis of 20 grains of gold collected from till samples on your claims in Benoit Township, north eastern Ontario, in late 1988. To quote part of this report, "all of the gold grains exhibit physical characteristics which can be attributed to physical processes operating in strictly glacial environments with only "minor evidence of glacio - f luvial processes. The majority of grains are weakly rounded - to strongly ovoid - tabular .... there are several striking examples of sub - equant Lo equant and partially faceted grains." "Surface pits are round to cube - shaped suggesting the former presence of pyrite or quartz. Several grains are strongly intergrown with silicate minerals which occasionally protrude from the grain surfce. Striated surfaces are common and two striation directions are typical. All of these physical attributes are typical of GOLD TRANSPORTED IN BASAL TILL and suggest that the GOLD GRAINS HAVE NOT BEEN TRANSPORTED A GREAT DISTANCE, perhaps LESS THAN 500 METERS from the source" lithology.
"Compositionally, most gold grains contain minor to trace amounts of Ag and sometimes significant amounts of Si with or without minor Na, K, Al and trace amounts of Ga, Fe, Mg and S." These contaminants suggest that the gold was intergrown with quartz, Na and K micas and possibly C a - F e - Mg - rich carbonate minerals or Fe - Mg - rich chlorite. "THESE ARE TYPICAL GAUNGE MINERALS ASSOCIATED WITH HYDORTHERMAL GOLD DEPOSTIS, the KIKLAND LAKE camp being an excellent example. The presence of NA - K - RICH MICAS IS PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT as these ARE TYPICAL OF THE ALTERATION ASSEMBLAGE ASSOCIATED WITH GOLD MINERALIZATION RELATED TO ALKALINE SILICATE, I N T R U S I V E ACTIVITY. The KIRKLAND
LAKE camp is one of a growing number of excellent examples of intrusive related hydrothermal activity.
The May 12 report concerned a S canning Electron Microscope study of several hundred mineral grains from Hole 80 - 09, an Ontario Geological Survey overburden drill hole located several kilometers south of the area of interest on your claim group. This report also included a petrographic and binocular microscope study of 10 rock samples recovered from one of the basal till sampling pits on your claim group in which gold grains examined in the February report were recovered. To quote " the mineralogy is characteristic of samples derived from Archean raetavolean i c and metasedimentary terrains and dominated by clino - and orthopyroxene, amphibole, epidote, garnet, ilmenite and pyrite, either as single grains or more commonly intergrown with quartz, plagiocalse and archibole and possibly sericitic (K - rich ) or paragonitic ( Na - rich ) micas. None of the pyrite is auri ferous or argentiferous within the detection limits of the SEM (probably several hundred ppm) nor does it contain any inclusions of native gold. Two grain aggregates containing Cu - Zn - and Fe-bearing sulphides were found. The presence of clino - and ortho- pyroxene suggests that a mafic igneous body such as a gabbro or alkalic complex may be a major regional lithology." The presence of base metal sulphides is typical of rock debris derived from mixed mafic to felsic metavolcanic stratigraphy and from vein hosted gold mineralization as is the presence of abundant pyrite.
The SEM study of mineral grains from the heavy media concentrate did not find any grains of auriferous pyrite, native gold or quartz with inclusions of native gold. However, several facts must be considered. Firstly, many people have examined the heavy mineral concentrates and it would not be against human nature for positive evidence of precious metal or other mineralization to have been removed. Secondly, unless the original heavy mineral sample was split by the OGS, most or all of the gold may have been utilized in the assay process. Thirdly, the presence or absence of gold in pyrite is best determined by electron microprobe, backscatter electron imaging or assay. And finally, all of the gold grains examined from basal till appear to originally have been DISCRETE GRAINS of NATIVE GOLD with LITTLE or NO CONTAMINATION by gaunge minerals or grains of NATIVE GOLD INTERGROWN WITH SERICITIC OR PARAGONITIC MICA and RARELY WITH with pyrite. Therefore, the absence of gold in pyrite is to be expected. This suggests further that the gold assay for Hole 80 - 09 utilized most or all of the gold from the original heavy mineral concentrate. Further, most or all of the gaunge minerals associated with vein related or disseminated gold mineralization (sericite, paragonite, carbonate and quartz) would not be found in a heavy mineral concentrate with the exception of pyrite and minor base metal sulphide.
The petrographic study of 10 rock samples revealed a suite
of greenschist facies metamorphic grade intrusive and extrusive
metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. "All of the samples
examined with the exception of JJ - l and JJ -2 are substanti
ally CARBONATIZED, SER1CITZED AND/OR EPIDOTIZED and EXHIBIT
STRUCTURES CHARACTERISTIC OF BOTH BRITTLE AND DUCTILE DEFORMATIO
N
[One sample is strongly K - metasomat ized with the development of
microcline after plagioclase.] and multiple periods (3 - 4) of
quartz - carbonate veining. Unfortunately there is no sulphide
or precious metal mineralization in these samples with the
exception of minor pyrite. The single polished thin section is
from a narrow quartz vein" taken from outcrop at an abandoned
shaft near the southeast corner of your claim block. "The
mineralogy is dominated by highly strained quartz with minor
sericitic or paragonitic mica, chlorite and carbonate with lesser
pyrite and trace amounts of sphalerite and chalcopyrite, both as
inclusions in pyrite." In short, these rocks have beejj
STRUCTUALLY PREPARED FOR MINERALIZATION and have a SUITE OF
ALTERATION MINERALS CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT ENCOUNTERED IN MANY
HYDROTHERMAL, PRECIOUS METAL VEIN DEPOSITS.
In conclusion, although neither of these studies points a
finger directly to an orebody, neither of them can as both are
studies of indirect evidence, of minerals and rocks which have
been transported some distance from the source lithology. The
evidence in favour of further evaluation, preferably by diamond
drilling i s:
1) a geophysical anomaly
structure,
coincident with a major regional
2) an old shaft on a quartz vein along strike from the
geophysical anomaly and lying within this major regional
structure,
3) a concentration of gold in till which has been
transported down ice from the coincident structural and
geophysical anomaly, and,
4) a suite of angular boulders recovered from till which
have been intensely deformed and strongly altered with a
secondary mineral assemblage identical to that found in
hydrothermal, precious metal deposits characteristic of
Archean metavolcanic and plutonic environments.

It is not intended to illustrate that the the Archean auriferous hydrothermal system debouched onto the surface (see discussion in Chapter 7, Part I). The vertict. scale is not defined. Crustal cratonization culminates with the addition of mafic magma to the base of and into existing lower crust. Crustal thickening is accomplished in part by the addition of diapiric mass to the base of the crust, which grows downward to form a sub-continental keel Granulitization of the lower crust result from the introduction of magma, heat and volatiles, principally CO 2- A compositional spectrum of silica magmas, from silica-saturated to -undersaturated, is generated by partial melting of upper mantle and lower crui in the presence of fluids having varying CO^/H^O ratios. Fluids may originate by exsolution from silica! magmas any^vhere between the upper mantle and upper crust, and may evolve compositionally as a result c reaction with rock (granulitization) and immiscible separation. Chemical mass transfer from the mantle, lom ond middle crust to the upper crust is effected by silicate magma and fluids, which migrate along zones oj crustal weakness (regional structures which penetrate at least to the Conrad\discontinuity). Gold concentration : the upper crust is a consequence of this late crustal magmatic, tectonic and thermal history.
A Simplified Description-of Glacial Till
Glacial till can be classified into unstratified and stratified drift. Unstratified drift is considered to be material deposited directly from a glacier while stratified drift (glacio - fluvial sediment) is material" deposited from glacial streams and lakes during from glacial meltdown. Unstratified drift is further sub - divided in ablation till, material which is transported in the middle or top of the glacier and which later is deposited by the downmelting of the ice sheet, and basal till, material that is produced, transported and deposited at and by the base of the ice sheet.
Basal till is composed of rock debris derived from the underlying bedrock and is transported only a short distance prior to deposition. Three types of basal till are recognized. Lodgement till is glacial debris deposited by the process of lodgement. This process occurs during rapid ice movement at low temperatures and results in a smearing of the debris onto the underlying rock surface. It is highly compact as fine rock flour, formed by the comunition of rock fragments, is forcibly pressed into voids between large particles. The local lithology dominates because the rock debris is not transported a great distance from the source. The debris in lodgement till is angular and shows no size sorting although rock fragments typically are alligned parallel to the direction of local ice movement. Basal melt - out till is compacted less than lodgement till because the material is deposited by melting, stationary ice. It contains debris whose lithologic composition may vary from a local to a distal source with distal material often dominating. Clasts are aligned sub - parallel to the direction of ice flow and the sediments are better sorted and may demonstrate a weak stratification compared to those in lodgement till. Deformation till consists of partially digested local material. Glaciodynamic structures such as folds, shear planes, bedding overthrusts, injection breccia and mylonite are characteristic of such deposits. The material is formed by differential movement or high compressive stress during the lodgement process.
Stratified or glacio - fluvial sediments occur as long, narrow ridges called eskers or in complex glacio - lacustrine deposits formed at the leading edge of a melting ice sheet. Eskers range up to 50 meters in height, 50 to 7000 meters in width and 100's to 80000 meters in length ( including gaps in otherwise continuous deposits). The sides of the deposits are steep and the crests are smooth or broadly hummocky. They typically occur in areas of low relief and are elongate parallel to the direction of ice movement. The sediments are reworked till consisting of sand, pebble and cobble sized material with very little fine grained rock flour. The sediments are deposited by streams flowing on the top (superglacial), in the middle (englacial) or under/at the base of the ice sheet (subglacial). The centre of such deposits are well stratified while layering on the sides is parallel to the side slope. The environment of deposition is similar to that of a short - lived, sediment laden stream. Sediments generally travel less than five kilometers from their original rest position.
In all glacial sampling surveys, basal till is the most sought after material as it has travelled the shortest distance from the source.
Physical Characteristics of Gold Particles Recovered fromDifferent Source Materials
Gold is extremely malleable and therefore its shape can change easily during transportation depending on the environment in which it is transported. Several workers who investigated the genesis of the Witwatersrand paleoplacer deposits discovered that gold particles which had been transported for a short distance in rivers (5 to 30 km) had bent and hammered edges while some of the original crystalline texture was still preserved. With an increase in transportation distance (80 to 100 km), the original crystalline texture was lost and the particles became "nugget- shaped" with a dough - like micro - texture and numerous, small, randomly orientated scratches. Gold particles which had travelled a great distance (150 km), were flaky with no trace of the original crystalline morphology. In addition, the particles were flattened and bent several times to form a characteristic sandwich structure. Round, crater - like indentations also are developed.
An laboratory study of gold particle abrasion demonstrated that cobbles are responsible for most of the abrasion and physical changes that occur to gold particles. The study also found that the presence of sand greatly reduced the abrasive effects of pebbles and cobbles, sand submerged in water abraids gold more effectively than dry sand and the velocity of water, not the distance travelled in water controls the extent of abrasion.
A study of the particle size distribution of gold in till was carried out by the Geological Survey of Canada to determine an optimum representative grain size range in weathered and unweathered tills as an aid in gold exploration. The study demonstrated that the grain size distribution of gold in unweathered tills reflected the original size distribution of native gold in the source rocks. Gold in weathered tills occurred predominantly in the fine fraction. It size distribution reflected a combination of the original grain size of native gold in the source rock and the fine grain size of gold released from weathering auriferous sulphides.
A morphological study of sixty gold particles separated from glacio fluvial sediments and basal till was conducted at University of Toronto by Judy Wong for Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company in 1985. This study found that gold is more angular and some of its original crystalline structure and protrusions are preserved in basal till compared to gold from glacio - fluvial environments such as eskers. Deep, large, abrasive marks typically are developed on gold grains from till while only small randomly orientated scratches are seen on gold from eskers. Gold particles from eskers are flat and flaky with bent edges and scaly textures suggestive of extensive hammering of the grain surface by sand and pebbles during sub aqueous transport. Such features generally are absent in gold particles from basal till unless melt - down tills have been sampled rather than lodgement or deformation tills. Gold particles from rivers exhibit similar textural features to those encountered in glacio - fluvial environments, however, as the river transport distance increases, gold particles become more flattened and may be bent several times.

GEOSCIENCE ASSESSMENT
"A" marks the location of John Ward's LOW DENSITY GRAVITY PIPE readings combined with a MAGNETIC LOW on line 600 NW at 80 NE. The gravity pipe has a possible depth in excess of 2 kilometres and an estimated diameter of 160 metres if its a felsic pipe, and less for an hydrothermal pipe. The overburden depth at the outside diameter is 30 metres and the inside center depth interpretation can support 45 metres Normaly. this is like a Kimberlite pipe except for the absence of magnetics. Also missing are kimberlite indicator minerals.
The "A" anomaly combines with the "B" and "C" anomalies to roughly form a triangular-like structure of 1000 metres along the baseline by 600 metres width, roughly flanked by silicification outside the NE and SW perimeters. The center shows evidence of mudstone, crystal tuff and altered lamprophyre with much carbonatization.
The baseline from the bottom of "A" to the SE edge of "C" is 1000 metres and overlies a HIDDEN GULLY of increasing depth (gravity determined) in the direction of the middle Matheson glacial drift running from "A" to "C". The 135 degree strike provides an ideal direction to deliver coarse glacial till from "A" to all the overburden drill sites, but particularly so for the 2 ROTASONIC DRILL HOLES with their UNIQUE GOLD GRAIN COUNTS of MODIFIED AND PRISTINE GOLD GRAINS.
When compared to the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) 5 year drilling project named BRIM and testing 38 townships covering the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone (DPFZ) the Benoit Twp. results can be seen as unique and by a substantial margin. A study is available on request that shows Benoit Twp Modified and Pristine gold grains (M+P) account for 980Xo of samples from MOO feet of overburden near the bottom of the holes for > 50 07o of the overburden sampled. Meaning for Benoit Twp. project the probability of a nearby source.
Experts have estimated (previous reports) the source of our Gold Grains is within 500 metres and "A" is approximately 520 metres from RDH "N". The inference points to "A" as a likely source of the M+P gold grains, or at least the source of the coarse till which transported the M+P GG to their ROTASONIC destination.
"A" is a likely source and if "A" carries gold so also is it likely gold will be in "B" and "C"

LOW DENSITY GRAVITY PIPE READY FOR DRILLING
500 metres NW
The source for gold could be an altered felsic pipe with an indicated surface diameter of 160 metres and a possible indicated depth of over 2 kilometres. Such a pipe is the l;likely source of most of the unique numbers of modified and pristine gold grains obtained from 2 RDH. As well, there are 2 other large low density gravity pipes that ^show evidence of containing gold. All three possible pipes form the corners of a triangular shape that contain approximately 30 acres of alteration with both silicification j [and carbonization The low density gravity pipe "A" is ready for drilling.______________________________^^________________

'ensiry gravity pipe "A" (LDGP "A") is connected to, and lined up with, the 2 Irotasonic drill holes JJ93-N and JJ93-S. tt is connected by a deepening gully jwrth a southeast strike (gravity determined) tt,at is also the strike of ihe middle Matheson till, providing an ideal channel tor ^ending the unusual Modified and Pristine gold grain count to the 2 overburden drills. The Gravity Pipe "A" is a j gold target ready for drilling. There are 2 other gravity pipes with similar depth) possibilities and indications of gold on the property.
