Bowater Minerals Corp. Kingurutlk Lake Area Property First Year Assessment Report

INTRODUCTION

Bowater Minerals Corporation has acquired one (1) mineral license consisting of 20 claims in the

Kingurutik Lake area of northern Labrador. The claims were obtained by way of an agreement with Terry

Christopher of Halifax, Nova Scotia and transferred to the “Company’s” name on 8 July 2008. This

report combines the first and second years assessment work on the property.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The license is located in an isolated area of Northern Labrador approximately 60 kilometers northwest of

Nain and 420 km north of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. (See Figure 1.) Both communities are serviced by

year round air service and by coastal boats during the summer and autumn months. Access to Nain is

most expedient and cost effective by means of regularly scheduled airline flights from Goose Bay. From

Nain the best means of getting to the license is via helicopter.

TOPOGRAPHY

The following discussion is adapted mostly from Ryan and James (2004) the region around the claims

mostly rugged and barren. It is dominated by smooth-topped mountains and elongate ridges separated by

steep valley walls as seen by examination of the 1:50,000 scale topographic sheet.

Vegetation is sparse with coniferous trees growing only in low-lying area outside the present claims

boundary. The higher country supports a diminutive Alpine flora, clinging to cracks in bare or lichen-

encrusted bedrock and rooted in a veneer of glacial gravels, willow and dwarf birch abound along the

banks of some brooks.

Elevations observed on the topographic map of the area (Figure 2) range from 900 feet in the north east

corner of the property to 2200 feet in the south west corner. The north east half of the is generally near the

900 to 1000 foot elevation and the south west half is at the higher elevation of 2000 to 2200 feet. There is

a string of small ponds that cross the property diagonally creating this divide.

PROPERTY SUMMARY AND CLAIMS STATUS

The property consists of one mapped staked license containing 20 claims with the license issued to Terry

Christopher July 10, 2007 and transferred to Bowater Minerals Corporation July 8, 2008. To maintain the

license in good standing Bowater deposited $4000 with the Department of Natural Resources in lieu of

reporting the first year’s work on the license on its due date of July 2008. This is permitted under

Condition 2 of the Mineral Regulations of the Province. Table 1 states the status of the property as of the

date of submission of this report and figure 2 shows the boundaries of the license overlain on the 1:50,000

scale topography. The license inquiry is attached as Appendix A.

PREVIOUS WORK

Early geological work in the Nain area was initiated by Wheeler (1942). Christie examined the area in the

1950’s and included parts Wheeler pioneering work in his reports and maps.(Christie, 1952.) British

Newfoundland Exploration (BRINEX) as part of a reconnaissance project examined Labrador for mineral

deposits (cf. Grimley, 1955). That project included investigation of small ilmenite-pyrrhotite

concentrations in the area north of Nain. In subsequent years, E.P. Wheeler continued his work on the

Nain Plutonic Suite, and later, in the late 1960s the Nain Anorthosite Project was initiated by S.A. Morse

of the University of Massachusetts to study the origin of anorthositic rocks and the geological history of

the NPS.

Systematic mapping by the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador (GSNL) and the

Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) has added to the database on the Nain Plutonic Suite. This has

included geological mapping and compilation with the most recent being by Ryan and James (2004) and

regional lake sediment geochemical sampling which has been included in the Geological Resources Atlas

of Newfoundland and Labrador. During the Voisey’s Bay rush (mid-1990’s) there area underlying and

surrounding the Bowater Minerals property was withdrawn from staking and designated “Exempt Mineral

Lands” therefore limited exploration was undertaken in the area.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The following discussion is from James (2002) and Ryan and James (2004) the license area is underlain

by rocks of the Nain Plutonic Suite, a north-south, elongate batholith covering an area of almost 20 000

km'. It represents an amalgamation of intersecting and nested plutons having a range of compositions

from troctolite to granite The geochronology has also shown that plutons having contrasting compositions

were emplaced contemporaneously in different parts of the batholith.

DennisTextBox Pg 5

In general, NPS rocks lack structural fabric elements. However, mantling the margins of two of the oldest

and largest anorthosite plutons, the Pearly Gates and Mount Lister intrusions, are zones consisting of very

strongly foliated leuconorite. The deformation in the leuconorite, and the variable degrees of mineral

recrystallization, common in many of the NPS intrusions, are interpreted to be the products of strain

during emplacement.

The NPS straddles the north-northwest-striking Paleoproterozoic tectonic boundary between the Archean

Nain Province in the east and the Southeastern Churchill Province (SECP) consisting of Archean and

Paleoproterozoic components in the west. The NPS rocks obscure the exact position of the Nain-SECP

boundary, although it is inferred to occur somewhere near the present project area.

LOCAL GEOLOGY

The most recent geological mapping of the area underlain by license 13674M was by Ryan and James (2004). They

divided the Nain Plutonic Suite into 32 units based on textures and compositions, designated units 11 to 42 in Ryan

and James. The following units are in the area as cropped from figure 2 of Ryan and James (2004) and presented

here as figure 3. The descriptions presented here are from the narrative in Ryan and James(2004).

• Subophitic leuconorite (Unit 36) is a common associate of the anorthositic rocks (Unit 35) throughout

most of the central part of the area and underlie license 1364M. All the contacts that have been observed

between major outcrop areas of Units 35 and 36 indicate that the leuconoritic rocks are younger than the

anorthosite. Most of these leuconoritic rocks are brown-weathering, and their textures range from uniform

subophitic to poikilitic or "clotted-textured" The tabular to equant, grey to mauve, plagioclase

feldspars of these rocks rarely exceed 3 cm in size, but dark- grey to black plagioclase megacrysts

(perhaps xenocrysts) up to 10 cm are widely distributed and locally prominent.

• (Unit 25) has been outlined north and east of Polygon Ponds and are located southeast of the property. These

rocks comprise alternating

disjointed bodies are remnants of a single pluton preserved within a younger intrusion. The rocks east of

Iviangiuyakh lakes are mottled brown- to grey-weathering. They have a "clotted" texture in which the

fabric comprises aligned, elliptical orthopyroxene oikocrysts up to 20 cm long. Plagioclase is variably

recrystallized, and mainly medium grained, although grey-weathering laths up to 8 cm long are locally

present. Some rocks have a primary plagioclase lamination that is parallel to the long axes of the elliptical

orthopyroxene oikocrysts.

• "Giant-pyroxene" anorthosite (Unit 21) occurs in the southwest corner of figure 3. The unit comprises

pale-grey to mauve, adcumulate-like, recrystallized anorthosite, characterized by the widespread occurrence

and local abundance of single crystals, and/or multi-crystal pods, of large, irregular, brown to black,

orthopyroxene. Pyroxenes measuring several tens of centimetres on a side are prevalent, and some podiform

aggregates reach up to several metres in maximum dimension. The "giant-pyroxene" anorthosite is certainly

intruded into, and excises much of, the foliated marginal zone of the Pearly Gates intrusion to the north

of Kingurutik Lake, and by inference (contact not examined by Ryan and James) must be younger

than the pegmatoidal anorthosite of the interior zone to the west as well. Contacts against the foliated

marginal zone are marked by rafts of deformed leuconorite within, and having their fabrics truncated by,

the "giant-pyroxene" anorthosite (Plate 5).

• The Mount Lister (anorthosite) intrusion (Units 11 and 12) is older than composite, undivided, bodies of

mauve anorthosite and brown leuconorite (Units 35 and 36) north of the east end of Kingurutik Lake at

the southeast corner of figure 3. This is evident at map scale from the truncation of the foliation and

layering of the Mount Lister by the anorthosite—leuconorite units. The map pattern verifies observations of this

intrusive relationship at outcrop scale.

• Units 1,2,3, and 4 are designated Archean and Paleoproterozoic gneisses and outcrop in small areas on

the east side (units 1 & 2) and on the west side (units 3 & 4) of figure 3. Unit 1 consists of recrystallized

metagabbronorite with granite veins. Quartzofeldspathic gneisses comprise Unit 2. These rocks are

granulite facies of enderbitic to charnockitic composition with included lenses and layers of mafic rocks.

• Unit 3 and 4 outcrop on the southwest corner of license 13674M. Unit 3 is mesocratic with

predominately quartz-poor, grey-green-weathering, diffusely layered rocks with locally abundant ribs of

subparallel granitic veinlets. These rocks appear to be in part Tasiuyak gneiss and suggest proximity to

the Nain-Churchill boundary. Unit 4 is a well layered succession of brown-weathering, olivine-bearing

melagabbronorite and pale-grey to white leucogabbronorite. Tasiuyak(?) cordierite paragneisses are

locally included with gabbronorite layered sequences.

LAKE SEDIMENT DATA

Lake sediment data for the area around and to the east of license 13674M are presented in table

2 and plotted on figure 4. The descriptive statistics and correlation matrix for the lake sediment

data are presented as tables 2 a & 2b.

Three samples are from ponds near the license held by BMC. Those samples are 2, 3, and 5,

sample 2 is on the property and reports moderate to high nickel content. The others are

down slope from the license are elevated in copper and cobalt.

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS

As part of an exploration program undertaken by Benton Resources Limited, in

joint vent.ure with Teck Cominco, Aeroquest Limited undertook "a Helicopter-

Borne AeroTEM System Electromagnet ic & Magnet ic Survey" on a large land

package held by the JV. This survey covered license 13674M and those data were

made available to Bowater Minerals Corporation. The data from that portion of

the Aeroquest data have been plotted on the maps presented here as Appendix B

and the raw data is listed in table 4.

The data were reviewed by a geoscientist well versed in mineral exploration who produced the

maps mentioned above, he made these comments “ I have had a quick look at the data and have

attached a PDF for Mag and EM (early and late channels). The maps are very basic and there

was a font problem when I brought the map into my version of Geosoft. Nonetheless the data is

there. There are a couple of EM anomalies that appear across the different channels ie Shallow

and deep. These occur in the very SW corner of the grid and another in the north central portion

of the grid”.

There is a mag low which strikes northwest across the centre of the license.

The raw data from the survey is available in EXCEL format (AQEMM xls) on the CD which has

the other data in this report.

MINERAL OCCURRENCES (MODS)

The Mineral Occurrence Database System maintained by the Geological Survey

Division of the Department of Natural Resources, Province of Newfoundland and

Labrador lists 10 sulfide occurrences on NTS 14D/16. These occurrences are

listed in table 3 and shown on figure 5. By comparison of the geology map

(figure 3) with the MODS map it in evident that the most of the Mineral

Occurrences are underlain by unit 35 of Ryan and James (2004).

As is evident from the MODS table, there is little data available from the NBK and other

occurrences reported in Ryan and James (2004) these were reported Castle Rock Exploration

(O’Sullivan, 1996).

The Exempt Mineral Land status in this area was lifted in late 2005 and Benton Resources staked

ground in the area. Ground follow-up to airborne geophysics surveys resulted in discovery of

several other mineral occurrences in the area - the King Lake Target listed in the table.- through

rock sampling of over 320 samples. These results are listed on Benton Resources Website.

CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS

The only record of mineral exploration on License 13674M is the helicopter borne electro-

magnetic and magnetic survey reported on here. The EM and Mag anomalies deserve ground

follow-up. It should also be mentioned that on their website Benton draws comparison with the

geophysical signature of Voisey’s Bay area.

The lake sediments in the immediate area of the license are moderately anomalous in elements of

interest when searching for Voisey’s Bay type mineralization and ground follow-up is warranted.
