Summary

The Strickland Deposit Property was staked in March of 2004 and March 2005 by Eddie Quinlan and Quinlan Prospecting. Three map staked claim licences, consisting of 21 contiguous claims were staked to cover the deposit. Licence no. 10095m consisted of six claims, licence no. 10094m consisted of 12 claims and licence no. 10786m consisted of 3 claims. The three licences were grouped in June of 2005 and were registered to Quinlan Prospecting (licence 11131m) (Figure.1). The original surface discovery was made by Alex Strickland in 1936. Work has been ongoing since then by an assortment of different exploration companies. High Tide Resources Inc. purchased the Strickland property in southwest Newfoundland from Quinlan Prospecting in 2011. The property had previously been explored by Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd., who documented a prospective environment and defined three small, silver-rich VMS lenses. Quinlan Prospecting had obtained encouraging gold values in grab sampling, although previous exploration mostly ignored the gold potential. The opportunities recognized by High Tide are to explore this property with modern technology and to follow up on its gold potential. High Tide compiled all previous information, conducted a short reconnaissance visit in November 2011, and then completed a two week program of geological reconnaissance/prospecting/channel sampling in August, 2012. This latter program was partly supported by a Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) grant from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (File #265-499-12). This report documents work conducted on the Strickland property to date by High Tide and previous workers. The Strickland property occurs within the Hermitage Flexure, a "sinuous belt of

Ordovician volcanic and sedimentary rocks that outcrops throughout southern

Newfoundland". More specifically, it occurs in the Bay du Nord Group of volcanics and sediments which comprises the western portion of the Hermitage Flexure; the Bay d'Espoir Group of volcanics and sediments makes up the eastern portion. The Bay d'Espoir Group is considered to be the distal facies equivalent of the Bay du Nord Group. The Bay du Nord Group consists of northeast-trending, southeast-dipping, interlayered sediments and felsic volcanic rocks. Sediments are dominantly semi-pelites, with "a high degree of structural transposition, metamorphic recrystallization and

segregation". Lesser sandstones and graphitic sediments are present. Felsic rocks are mostly (?totally) volcaniclastic, varying from tuff through lapilli tuff to tuff breccia. A more homogeneous unit of fine-grained felsic volcanic rocks with no interlayered sediments, the Dolman Formation, occurs in the southeast part of the property. The volcanics and sediments are intruded by the Baggs Hill Granite, consisting of porphyritic to granophyric biotite granite. The Baggs Hill Granite may have provided the heat for the hydrothermal system(s) that produced the mineralization.

Mapping by Falconbridge has documented the geology in some detail. This mapping and concurrent exploration showed that the most prospective stratigraphic horizon is a thin felsic pyroclastic unit (lapilli tuff) that occurs in the western part of the property, immediately east of a thick band of shales and siltstones. This unit can be traced for upwards of 30 km, from the southwest part of the Strickland property to Mouse Pond in the northeast. The most important mineralization known on the property is a series of showings along the prospective horizon in the southwest part of the property. Falconbridge calculated tonnages (not National Instrument 43-101 compliant) on three lenses: i) 260,000 t @ 5.25% Pb-Zn and 195 g/t Ag at the Main Zone; ii) 750,000 t with a 2% combined Pb-Zn cut-off (no Ag quoted) at the Main Zone North Extension; and iii) 15,000 t with a grade of 480 g/t Ag and 2% Pb-Zn at the Silver Hill Zone. A number of other showings have been documented by various explorers. The Strickland deposit was discovered in 1936 by Alex Strickland. Ventures Limited trenched the deposit and drilled 10 xray holes for a total of 2357' in 1937. Kopan Developments Limited drilled 10 holes for a total of 3991' into the Main Zone in 1965/1966. Long Lac Mineral Exploration Limited examined the Strickland area in 1968. They did a small VLF survey and then drilled 18 holes in and adjacent to the Main Zone. Falconbridge was exploring in the Hermitage Flexure in the mid-1970's when their attention was drawn to the Strickland area. In 1978 they optioned the Strickland property and staked a substantial land package adjacent to it. Between 1978 and 1980, Falconbridge undertook a large amount of exploration in the area. This includes ground and airborne magnetics and electromagnetics, minor IP, geological mapping, prospecting, litho geochemical studies and soil and lake geochemical surveys. They drilled a total of 47 holes on the property. They defined the lenses of mineralization noted above and intersected mineralization in several other locations. They did not properly evaluate the gold potential of the property though. Subsequent to Falconbridge, the property was intermittently explored by St. Joe Canada Inc., Dolphin Explorations Limited, Gold Texas Resources Ltd., Noranda Exploration, Newfoundland Mining & Exploration Ltd. and British Canadian Mines Limited. None of these companies conducted major programs on the property. The main Strickland showings were acquired by Quinlan Prospecting in 2004. They made several trips to the property over the years, mostly to collect grab samples. Their results were notable in showing the presence of gold, with values up to 17.9 g/t in the southwest part of the present property. The apparent gold potential on a VMS project already known to be silver-rich was a main factor in attracting High Tide Resources to the property.

High Tide compiled all previous information, conducted a short reconnaissance visit in November 2011, and then completed a two week program of geological reconnaissance/prospecting/channel sampling in August, 2012. A one day reconnaissance trip to the property was conducted in May, primarily to ascertain if access to the property from the La Poile River was possible. The objectives of the 2012 field program were to: i) verify the previously obtained high grade gold samples via channel sampling; ii) examine all known prospects and traverse the prospective stratigraphy; and iii) sample previous drill holes for gold. A number of geological traverses were made across specific parts of the property in order to examine the property geology and some of the showings discovered by previous companies. The Falconbridge mapping was found to be fairly reliable; certainly their map cannot be improved upon without significant work. The prospective horizon is a felsic tuff/lapilli tuff which is traceable from one end of the property to the other, as documented by Falconbridge. In most places the unit is too strained to determine its original character, but locally it can be recognized as a lapilli tuff, and south of Carrot Brook it is tuff breccia (?volcanic center). This unit hosts the main mineralization known on the property from immediately south of Carrot Brook to north of the Main Zone. Grab samples were collected from a number of showings. None of the outlying prospects returned significant anomalous material. These showings typically consist of elevated pyrite in biotite schist that could be either metamorphosed sediment or felsic/intermediate volcanic rock. 34 grab samples were collected in total, and the highest gold content returned was 100 ppb. A large zone of silicification with disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrite was discovered; this zone basically runs from the Gold Zone to the showing south of Carrot Brook. Two days were spent sampling historical core from the property, stored at the core library of the Department of Natural Resources in Pasadena. 44 core samples were collected from 15 different holes. Results were generally disappointing, in spite of the fact that most samples were of altered rock with disseminated pyrite, most of which looked prospective for gold. Only two core samples had more than100 ppb Au, with a high of 555 ppb. Channel sampling was completed in the core zone of the property, that is the southwest part where all the best historical metal values have been obtained. The channel sampling did not return any spectacular gold values, but it did validate earlier grab sampling in the sense that anomalous gold was encountered. As expected, silver values were very good, and locally copper, zinc and lead values were high. Specific channel results include:

Copper Zone: 8 m @ 1.37 g/t Au, 19.7 g/t Ag and 1.5% Cu; and 7 m @ 0.71 g/t Au, 13.1 g/t Ag and 0.35% Cu; Main Zone: 4 m @ 0.30 g/t Au, 262.6 g/t Ag, 2.05% Pb and 3.96 % Zn; 3.1 m @ 0.20 g/t Au, 305.7 g/t Ag and 1.10% Pb; and 2.4 m @ 0.31 g/t Au, 464 g/t Ag and 1.97% Pb ; Main Zone NE: 3.75 m @ 0.06 g/t Au, 152 g/t Ag, 2.10% Pb and 3.86% Zn; and 1.4 m @ 0.40 g/t Au, 311.6 g/t Ag, 5.14% Pb and 8.95% Zn; and Gold Zone: 2.2 m @ 1.01 g/t Au, 99.7 g/t Ag and 1.67% Cu; and 2.9 m @ 0.61 g/t Au, 57.1 g/t Ag and 0.23% Cu. Future work should concentrate on the prospective horizon from 500 m southwest of Carrot Brook to 500 m northeast of the Main Zone. Deep penetration geophysics should be conducted prior to drilling. Induced Polarization (IP) is the preferred technique, but is expensive. Electromagnetics (ground or airborne) is cheaper, but might miss a deposit that was not a conductor. A deposit with significant copper is likely to be a conductor, but a good proportion of the known mineralization at Strickland is zinc-lead-silver rich and would be weakly conductive at best. High Tide will have to weigh the benefits of the efficacy of IP versus the lesser cost of an electromagnetic survey. Additional prospecting should also be conducted on the silicified zone between the Gold Zone and Carrot Brook. The Strickland property was originally and historically being looked at as a base metal type deposit. Since then, after compiling data from historical reports and identifying numerous areas in drill core that have significant gold values, Hole # 16-23-24 was drilled to test the down dip potential of the Silver Zone and the Main Zone-North Extension. Low base metal values were attained but a 3.4m section assayed 5.75g/t Au at 93.5m to 96.9m. DDH 16-023-25 intersected 0.05% Cu, 0.45% Pb, 1.40% Zn and 2.48g/t Au over 1.5m. Mineralization intersected in drill holes at the Bog Zone was 7.6g/t Au, 1.41% Zn, 0.54% Pb, 0.57% Cu and 2.7g/t Ag over 2m. Sampling from outcrop exposures within the property has revealed numerous areas with high grade gold, values between 3.0g/t and 17.9g/t have been produced, numerous samples in the 5g/t to 14 g/t range. All of the previous work has been concentrated on the base metals within the property, no emphasis was put towards the gold potential of the property. Emphasis in the future will be towards the gold and silver potential of the property.

Introduction

High Tide Resources Inc. (High Tide) purchased the Strickland property in southwest Newfoundland (Fig. 1) from Quinlan Prospecting in 2011. The property had previously been explored by Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. (Falconbridge), who documented a prospective environment and defined three small, silver-rich VMS lenses. Quinlan Prospecting had obtained encouraging gold values in grab sampling, although previous exploration mostly ignored the gold potential. The opportunities recognized by High Tide are to explore this property with modern technology and to follow up on its gold potential. High Tide compiled all previous information (Setterfield, 2012; Appendix B), conducted a short reconnaissance visit in November 2011, and then completed a two week program of geological reconnaissance/prospecting/channel sampling in August, 2012. This latter program was partly supported by a Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) grant from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. This report documents work conducted on the Strickland property to date by High Tide and previous workers. The 1927 North American Datum (NAD27) co-ordinate system is used in this report. The Strickland property is in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 21T. Some of the assessment reports cited in the report are available on the website of the Department of Natural Resources of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (http://gis.geosurv.gov.nl.ca/minesen/geofiles/). The unique geofile number is provided wherever possible in the references for each assessment report. All monetary figures quoted in this report are in Canadian dollars. The Strickland Zn-Pb-Ag Prospects are located in the La Poile Bay area. South Western Newfoundland has been explored by several exploration companies since its discovery by Alex Strickland in 1936. This stratibound felsic volcanogenic sulphide prospect (Swinden, 1981) has attracted the interest of a number of exploration companies over the years, and has resulted in the completion of detailed geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical and diamond drilling programs over the area. The combined strike length of all seven known zones is 1.4km. The most recent company was British Canadian Mines Limited, which explored the main Strickland Prospect area. The work carried out on the 13.5 sq km, 54 mineral claims involved a review of previous company reports and published data, examination and sampling of existing drill core for thin sections and assay analysis, base map compilation and a one-day site visit into the Strickland Prospect. Mineral exploration companies have worked on the Strickland since the mid 1930's. The amount of data that has been collected over the years from exploration companies is tremendous. If only the data was compiled into a data base, the data base would be enormous. This would take several years to complete.

This report will include portions of the data collected over the years. Some of the data from some exploration companies cannot be found, this data may have been lost or misplaced, and mainly this data is from the beginning of exploration of the Strickland that cannot be located. The property was being investigated for its massive sulphide potential, comparative to the very large copper poor Brunswick ore bodies of the Tetagouche Group of northern New Brunswick. Lead isotopic data reveals strong similarities between the Strickland and Brunswick ore bodies. Comparing the Strickland and the Brunswick ore bodies with there similar metallogenic histories, show's the potential for the Strickland and surrounding area to be host to some world class ore bodies. The property is now being explored for it’s precious metal (gold and silver) potential Also, the property will be investigated for its potential of hosting an Epithermal Gold deposits. Historical samples from the high grade mineralization in the deposits have assayed from 310ppb up to 21.2g/t Au. Quartz veins adjacent to the deposits have assayed up to 6.8g/t Au (location unknown). 3m chip samples across the Pb-Zn Main Zone have assayed 8.19g/t Au, 500g/t Ag and 2% Pb-Zn (Falconbridge). Cooper (1954) and Stackhouse (1976) assayed grab samples from areas within the deposits around the Strickland, results can be found in the table. (Fig.5). Dearin noted that Cooper also observed native gold in chalcopyrite from the copper rich zone. (Dearin, 1984). After reading numerous reports and seeing the gold values that have been reported and the almost constant reminder by field geologist and consultants that worked with various exploration companies which previously owned the Strickland property, they recommend that no attention be paid to the gold assays from Falconbridge's and other companies work.. Quote from Phil Saunders April 1987 "it is the writer's opinion that these deposits should be re-evaluated for gold. As previously described, significant gold assays were reported by Cooper (1954) and Prince (1978) from the Main and Copper Zones. Although Falconbridge analyzed most of their samples for gold, re-analysis of the old core using up to date analytical methods could be fruitful." Phil Saunders (1987). Several Government geologists working with the Dept of Natural Resources of NL have recommended that we pay no attention to the lack of gold mineralization reported by some companies. These geologists worked with these various companies on the Strickland property. Epithermal Gold: The Strickland property as a whole may be considered to have excellent potential for epithermal gold mineralization. One reason for this comparison is the nearby Hope Brook Mine.

The Hope Brook gold deposit was discovered in 1983 by Selco Division of BP

Resources Canada Ltd. Ore reserves at the Hope Brook were 11.2 million metric tonnes at 4.54g/t Au at a 2.5g/t Au cut off grade (Mackenzie, 1986).

The Hope Brook gold deposit is hosted by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the mid-Ordovician LaPoile Group. The LaPoile Group has been correlated with the Bay du Nord Group by Chorlton (1980). Chorlton points out similarities of age, depositional environment and abundance of pyroclastic rocks between the two groups. McKenzie (1986) states that in contrast with marine Bay du Nord Group, the LaPoile Group rocks are dominantly shallow water to sub aerial. Notwithstanding this distinction, however, it seems reasonable to think that potential for epigenetic gold mineralization exists in the Bay du Nord Group. To Phil Saunders knowledge this potential has not been systematically tested on the Strickland property. There are several direct indications of gold potential of the Strickland area. Significant gold assays have been reported from the Main and Copper Zones. It must be emphasized that these surveys and others on the property were directed towards massive sulphide targets. A program to explore for precious metals would take a much different direction, due to the assumption of an entirely different geological model. The latter point may be reinforced by results of work carried out in 1985 along strike from the Strickland property. Dolphin Explorations Ltd. explored for gold in the Big Pond and Carrot Brook areas, immediately northeast and southwest of the Strickland (Northwest Prospector, Oct, 1986). They were successful in outlining zones of silica and sulphide enrichment from 100m to 1000m in length. The report states, "Surface grab samples in the Big Pond Brook zone (800m long) contained values up to 4510ppb Au, (0.123oz/t Au) and 5.27oz/t Ag. Grab and chip samples taken in the Carrot Brook copper zone (600m long) ran up to 2200ppb Au (0.06oz/t Au). Carrot Brook stream bed samples contained several 1m chip samples ranging from 100ppb Au to 900ppb Au. The Strickland silver, lead and zinc massive sulphide deposit also occurs within this belt." (Northwest Prospector, Oct 1986). There are other factors that favour the potential for precious metal mineralization on the property. The effects of intense hydrothermal alteration are well displayed in the area stratagraphically beneath the Main Zone. The fluids responsible for this alteration may have emanated from the sub volcanic Baggs Hill Granite and ascended to the surface along steeply dipping faults (Wynne and Strong, 1984). At Hope Brook the gold occurs in a heavily silicified zone which stratagraphically overlies a zone if argillic (high alumina) alteration. In this case the hydrothermal system was generated by the sub volcanic Roti Granite (McKenzie, 1986). Major element analyses in the Hope Brook area indicate that the argillic zone is enriched in Si02 and Al203 and depleted in Mg0, Ca0 and Na20 while the gold bearing zone is enriched in Si02 and depleted in most other elements (McKenzie, 19860. Major element anomalies at the Strickland are erratic and discontinuous, probably due to the deformation, but show a general pattern of enrichment of Si02 and Mg0 and depletion, of Na20, Ca0 and Al203 (Wynne and Strong, 1934).

7

A final point related to the precious metal potential of the Strickland area concerns some similarities between the Baggs Hill Granite and the Windowglass Hill Granite some 50 km to the west. The Windowglass Hill Granite hosts stock work quartz vein systems with significant Cu, Pb, Zn and Au mineralization and is also interpreted by Wilton (1935b) to be the source of the gold in the nearby Main Shear deposit where reserves are estimated at 900,000 tonnes at 5.75g/t Au.

The Windowglass Hill Granite is a high level pluton characterized by high

Na20/K20 ratios (Wilton, 1985b). After compiling geochemical data from granitoids from south-western Newfoundland, Tuach (1985) suggested that these ratios, combined with the presence of stock work mineralization are indications of hydrothermal activity (albitization). He further pointed out that geochemical data from the Baggs Hill Granite (Chorlton, 1980b) show that 11 out of 32 rock samples have strong sodium enrichment. Three of the anomalous samples are clustered near the south end of the granite, within 1 km of the Strickland Showing. Tuach (1986) concludes, "These features imply that the Na20/K20 ratio may be a powerful, primary prospecting tool and that the Baggs Hill Granite and adjacent country rocks may have potential for hosting precious metals. Several distinct silicified mineralized zones can be traced for over five miles to the northeast and for over three miles to the south of the Strickland deposits. Comments by Chlorton (19800 and Cooper (1954) indicate that the Bay Du Nord Group of rocks in general and the Strickland deposit in particular do contain significant amounts of gold mineralization. Selected grab samples from the Strickland Pb-Zn Zone contained up to 5.6g/t Au while samples from the Strickland Cu zone contained up to 1.1g/t Au. Cooper also reported in 1974 that one sample at the Strickland assayed 6.22g/t Au. Falconbridge's geologists who defined the ore body were unable to find any gold mineralization in the deposit, these geologists had a general consensus that gold did not occur within the Bay Du Nord Group of rocks, which host the Strickland deposit. The results of Chlorton and Cooper disagree with Falconbridge's findings. (George Cavey and John Kowalchuk 1985). The intrusions of subvolcanic granites has produced intense hydrothermal alterations in the adjacent sediments and sub-volcanic rocks. The alterations consist of silicification and sericitization within carbonate alteration in sheared and fractured rocks. One of these zones has been traced over a distance of 15 kilometres. This zone is host to the Strickland Pb-Zn-Ag deposits, which consist of seven mineralized zones containing over 1 million tonnes grading approximately 3% Pb-Zn combined and up to 6oz/t Ag. These zones are the Main Zone, North Extension Zone, Copper Zone, Silver Zone, Bog Zone, Road Zone and the Bison Fault Zone (Fig.6), only three have resource estimates (Not 43-101 compliant), shown in the table (Fig7). These deposits contain sporadic gold mineralization ranging up to 0.7oz/t Au (22g/t Au). Pyritic quartz veins in an adjacent deposit have yielded gold values up to .22oz/t Au (6.85g/t Au).

8

The Carrot Brook Zone is located to the southwest of the Main Zone and is comprised of a 30m wide silicified rhyolite horizon containing chalcopyrite, pyrite and arsenopyrite and is traceable for over 500meters. At the Carrot Brook Zone, chip samples across 6m along the stream bed averaged 443ppb Au and 1m chip samples from this zone assayed up to 2.4 g/t Au, and 8.8% Cu, 1.96% Cu, 1.43% Cu and up to 4.6oz/t Ag. All grab and chip samples from this zone were anomalous in gold, an average from the 18 samples both chip samples and grab samples was 511ppb Au. Most of these samples consisted of very weathered, rusty and leached rock, which does not represent a good sample. Higher grades could have been possible if fresher rock samples were taken. Another area located to the northeast (018618m) of the Main Zone but is not located within the main property consist of a 20 - 30 meter wide silicified rhyolite horizon containing chalcopyrite, pyrite, arsenopyrite and rare galena which is traceable for over 2 kilometres. Grab samples from this area have assayed up to 4.9g/t Au and 5.27oz/t Ag, 2.35% Cu. Trenching at this area has revealed assay results up to 550ppb Au and 116g/t Ag (grab samples), channel samples reveal relatively low Au - Ag values, but were probably due to the amount of weathering on the surface. Up to 10% chalcopyrite and 20% galena can be found in the trenches. These zones will need to be investigated for its gold potential in the future when the property is visited.

Location and Access

The Strickland Prospect is situated on a high plateau at the northern end of La Poile Bay, just east of the abandoned settlement of North Bay, south western Newfoundland (Fig. 1). The property is located 70 km east-northeast of Port aux Basques, southwestern Newfoundland (Fig. 1), and immediately east of the La Poile River (Fig. 2). The center of the property is at approximately 47°50’N, 58°15’ W, or 406000E/5298000N in UTM co-ordinates. The property occurs in 1:50,000 NTS map sheet 11O/16. The area is accessible by ferry boat from the town of Rose Blanche to the community of La Poile then by motor boat to the property, or by helicopter or by float plane which can be accommodated on Big Pond which is located 7 km to the northeast of the prospect (Fig. 1). Low hills, shallow brooks, and boggy wetlands characterized the area while outcrop is best exposed in the small northeast trending ridges as well as along hillsides, brooks and man-made exploration trenches. A passenger and cargo ferry leaves Rose Blanche (45minutes east along the south coast from Port aux Basques) and goes to the isolated communities of La Poile. At La Poile the property is just a short boat ride north up into La Poile Bay, locals from La Poile can be hired for this task. In La Poile Bay Conservation Officers from the Pasadena office have a couple cabins that they use when the salmon run and hunting seasons are open. These cabins could be rented from the Conservation Officer's. For most exploration work, access to the property is via helicopter from Deer Lake, a distance of 160 km. Bulk helicopter fuel is available in nearby Top Pond. In theory the property could be accessed from the La Poile River; indeed there is a historical J5 trail to the property from the river, constructed by Falconbridge, but the topography is very steep. Once on the property, access is by foot, ATV or helicopter. The only lake large enough for a float plane to land is Big Pond in the north-central part of the property. The property is characterized by highly variable topography (gently rolling to rugged) dominated by tundra and small to medium sized lakes (Plate 1). It is particularly rugged adjacent to the La Poile River (Map 1). Elevation on the property ranges from 0 to 400 m Above Sea Level. Narrow areas of stunted fir, spruce and some deciduous vegetation occur adjacent to major streams, rivers and lakes; locally, forests with substantial trees are present. Outcrop over the property varies from non-existent in swampy areas to more than 50% on the high hills.

Physiographic Setting

The topography of the map area is controlled largely by rock type and structural grain, and can be divided into two contrasting terrains. The northwest terrain forms part of the southern Long Range Mountains, and includes the wedge of land between Garia and Bunker Hill brooks and the La Poile River. It consists of a gently rolling upland underlain mainly by granitoid intrusions, and is indented across the middle by an open valley, largely underlain by mafic rocks, corresponding to the east-trending Cape Ray Fault. The upland surface slopes gently from an altitude of about 520 m in the northwest corner to about 175 m at the southern margin of the map area. Low hills and shallow brooks characterize this terrain, but several steep, northeast-trending ridges underlain by inliers of resistant metasedimentary rock occur in the southeast. Bedrock is covered by a thin veneer of unstratified drift with small peat bogs in depressed areas, but is bare in brooks and on hillsides. East-northeast trending moraines are found in the northeast corner of the map area. To the west, low hummocks of up heaved, joint-bounded blocks, lined with dense scrub, are essentially in place. Numerous prominent north-trending drumlinoid deposits south of Bunker Hill Brook appear to contain mostly fragments of the nearby bedrock.

The southeastern half of the map area is rugged and irregular, being underlain by

highly deformed and metamorphosed felsic volcanic and sedimentary rocks, amphibolite, gabbro, and granitoid intrusions, cut to the east by a large complex of post tectonic intrusions. The land surface slopes seaward from an altitude of about 450 m in the northeast to about 300 m in the southwest, and drops abruptly to sea level along Northeast Arm and North Bay. It is cut by the well defined linear depression which marks the Bay d'Est Fault. Resistant bands of felsic rock and large boudins of metagabbro, oriented parallel to the regional northeast-trending structural grain, form prominent ridges and hills which jut out nearly 75 m above the surrounding surface. In contrast, the intrusive complex east of Forchette Brook forms a highland area of imposting peaks. The highest of these within the map area is 593 m above sea level and serves as a reliable landmark. Large patches of unstratified drift cover part of the eastern margin of the map area north of the post tectonic intrusive complex. Several north trending drumlinoid deposits occur around Cinq Cerf Brook. A stoss and lee topography displayed by some of the prominent hills and ridges, and south trending glacial striae, especially conspicuous in large polished outcrops high on the walls of the La Poile River valley, indicate that glacial action participated in molding the present erosion surface.

11

Most of the area lies within the watershed of the La Poile River system. The main brooks originate in the Long Range area, and incise deeply across and along the structural grain to the south. The steep-sided valleys of Bunker Hill Brook, Deep Brook, and the main branch of the La Poile River are V-shaped, and are lined with mature forest. Most of the small streams that coalesce to feed the main brooks lack sediment and are unsuitable for panning. However, sandy streambeds were noted in the midsections of Two Way and Boodle brooks and in a small jawbone-shaped widening of the brook emptying Big Otter Pond.

Property Description

The property is comprised of five mineral licenses, two (019217m & 019218m) of which this report is based on. Table I – Property information

History and Previous Company Exploration

The Strickland zinc-lead-silver sulphide deposit was discovered by Alex Strickland in 1936. In 1937, the Ventures Limited carried out both trenching and diamond drilling over the showing. A total of 17 trenches were excavated normal to the vein. The drilling consisted of 10 DDK totalling 2357' (718.4m) of drill core which intersected a 600' (182.8m) long by 3.16' (0.96m) wide (average) sulphide zone averaging 7.32% Zn, 3.36% Pb, and 7.26 oz/ton Ag (Kidd, 1966). 1937-1940 Newfoundland Mining Syndicate focused on the Carrot Brook and Big Pond area with prospecting and trenching. Mr. J.R. Cooper worked the property during 1937- 41 and published the information in 1954 (Cooper, 1954). This author reported that: (a) the bedding strikes 032° NE and dips 54° SE with linear structures and drag folds trending 065° NE and dipping 15° to 35° to the east, (b) the Main Strickland mineralized zone is traced 3500' (1067m) along strike, (c) the mineralization is in tight, unfractured rock although the ore shoots themselves appear to be structurally controlled, and (d) the mineralization is hydrothermal replacement and fissure filling, with the ore originating from the Baggs Hill granite and localize along more easily replaced bedding planes and fractures, guided by drag fold axis. Note that points (c) and (d) were proven incorrect by later workers. Cooper (1954) reported an overall three-fold division for the Strickland Main Vein with; (a) a lowest unit of dark slate followed by, (b) a 30' (9.1m) to 70' (21.3m) wide layer of altered (silicified, sercitized, carbonitized) rock which hosts the mineralization (noting that most of this altered layer is below ore grade, with the thickest ore shoot composed of stringers and disseminations being exposed for up to 10' (3m) in trenches (Trench #1) and 5' (1.5m) in drill core (K-3)) followed by, (c) a 100' (30.5m) to 130' (40m) wide layer of green chloritic schist with chlorite, epidote, sericite, biotite, quartz, feldspar and a little calcite. Cooper (1954) also reported that the Copper Zone at the southern end of the mineralized Main Zone (refer to Figure 4) is hosted within a chloritized, silicified schist and sericitic quartzite with the mineralization occurring as disseminations, veinlets and rude banding. Cooper (1954) noted that the ore shoots pinch rapidly along the strike and down the dip. He wrote that the structure exerted a secondary rather than primary control on mineralization. However, he later suggested that, "the distribution of ore becomes understandable if one assumes that ore distribution has been controlled in some way by the linear structure, which is strong and persistent in the region, and that the drag fold axis are parallel to the linear structure". This author then went on to propose, "A

13

hypothesis in which the ore shoots as flattened cylinder or cigar-shaped lenses trending north-east 065° and dipping 25° to east". Although Cooper understand neither the volcanic component of the rock succession and the VMS mineralization model in the Strickland area, nor the penetrative ductile (plastic) deformation which overprinted primary textures; he was very perceptive in recognizing the overall geometry of the ore distribution and recommending this approach to exploration.

Kopan Developments Limited carried out additional drilling of the Strickland

Prospect between 1965-66. A total of 10 DDK totalling 3991' (1216.5m) of drill core was completed along strike and down dip from the 1937 drilling. The first six DDH's (i.e.: Kl - K-6) (Fig.8) added 200' (61m) to the drilled length of the mineralized Main Zone. The remaining 4 DDH’s (i.e.: K7 - K10, (Fig.8), which were designed to target this Main Zone at depths of 500' (152.5m) below surface, intersected only minor mineralization (Kidd, 1966). A second, thinner "vein" (the Upper Vein) of mineralization was noted to occur 45' (13.7m) southeast of the Main Zone! The sulphides were noted to be spatially associated with quartz veins in a zone of bleached host rock, and occasionally within the wall rocks nearby. Sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, and pyrite dominate while tetrahedrite was occasionally the results of the deeper drilling were, "entirely negative", and that the ore shoot might plunge shallow (i.e.: < 20°), most likely to the north. Tonnage calculations, based upon a number of assumptions, were estimated to be between 96,000 -128,000 tons for the Main Zone. The mineralization was thought to be of a vein-type deposit as other anomalies away from the mineralized zones were found. Noranda Exploration Co Limited (1970 - 1972) completed reconnaissance stream sediment sampling at 800m intervals throughout the area including 1967-1968 O'Brien Gold Mines Ltd, conducted an airborne and magnetometer survey, which was flown by Lockwood - Hunter with ground follow up by Maritime Technical Surveys. Long Lac Mineral Exploration Limited (1968-1969) conducted a VLF-EM Survey over an area including the mineralized zones. Coincident anomalies with the mineralized zones as well the Strickland. Cominco (1974 - 1976) mapped the Strickland and nearby showings (scale 1:1200), mapped and prospected the surrounding area of the Strickland, collected soil and rock samples. J. Stackhouse (1976) produced a 1:15,840 geological map of the area surrounding the Strickland; he completed a detailed geological map (1:1200) of the Strickland showing and studied the ore/host rock geochemistry. Cominco (1978) carried out a 1:20,000 scale mapping and prospecting program over the Hermitage Belt plus collected 200 rock and soil samples from the belt for copper, lead and zinc analysis. No new showings were discovered.

Falconbridge Nickel Mines, in joint venture with Giant Yellow Knife Mines and United Keno Hill Mines Limited, carried out exploration work between 1977 -1980 within the Strickland - Porter Fee Simple Property. Geological mapping, geophysical and geochemical studies, and diamond drilling were carried out over an area approximately 4000m x 500m, including the Main, Main North, and Copper as well as newly discovered Silver, Bog, and Bison Fault Zones. The three assessment reports filed with the Department of Mines and Energy for this time period were written by Barry and Prince, 1979; Hinchey, 1980; and Prince, 1981. Prince (1981) presented a compilation of all the Falconbridge work. The main points of this work are summarized in the following:

(a) The 300m along strike Main Zone, with an upper Zn(Ag) - Pb (2m wide) zone

separated by 10m from a lower disseminated Zn-Pb (4m wide) zone; is hosted by sericitized pyroclastic and siltstone rocks and shows associated Na-K depletion and Mg enrichment in rocks stratigraphically below this Main Zone. Swinden (1988) noted that the massive sulphide is locally associated with lenses of carbonate-tremolite gangue which commonly hosts the highest Ag content. A total of 39 DDH tested the zone 200m down-dip and 1000m along strike. Tonnage estimates were given as 260,000 metric tonnes of 5.25% Pb-Zn and 195 gm/metric tonne Ag in a 300m x 150m x 2m lens.

(b) The 200m along strike North Main Zone is a fault displaced equivalent of the

Main Zone, consisting of massive to disseminated Zn-Pb (no Ag?), with associated alkali depletion and Mg enrichment and no conductive or magnetic-geophysical anomaly. A total of 12 DDH tested the lens 400m x 200m x 4m. Tonnage estimates were given as 750,000 metric tonnes of 2% Pb-Zn. (c) The Silver Zone occurs 70m below the Main Zone, within a carbonate-tremolite band between graphitic shale (west) and felsic pyroclastics (east), in a steeply plunging lens 100m x 2.5m with 15,000 metric tonnes grading 480 gm/metric tonne Ag and 2% Pb-Zn. The Pb-Zn occurs as 5-8% disseminations and 5mm veinlets while the Ag is present as native silver - antimony alloy termed allargentum. A total of 14 DDH tested the zone for 55m along v strike and 200m down-dip. (d) The 200m along strike Copper Zone, occurs as a 10m wide zone of disseminated and veined pyrite-chalcopyrite within chloritic schist with interbanded felsic volcanics. A total of 10 DDH tested the zone to a depth of 150m. (e) The 400m along strike Bog Zone, consists of disseminated, 1% grade Zn - minor Pb within a 6m wide band of mafic pyroclastics, which was tested by 5 DDH to 75m down-dip.

15

(f) The drilling of the small Bison Fault Zone intersected a 1.8m section of 1.92%Cu, 1.28%Zn and 0.97 oz/ton Ag within a felsic tuff unit. (1979) Butler, J.G. and Davenport, P.H. Compiled a regional lake sediment survey of south western Newfoundland 11O map sheets which covered the Strickland area. (1980) Chorlton, L. Published a report with accompanying map (1:50,000) of the La Poile River area that included the Strickland. (1981) Swinden, H.S. Published a paper on the Strickland in the Current Research, Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy, Mineral Development Division, he described the mineralization and host rocks and proposed a genetic model for the deposit Prince (1981) recommended that no additional drilling be carried out along strike or down-dip of the existing mineralized zones. It is interesting to note that the lack of DDH logs in some of the Falconbridge reports has been attributed to a dispute between the company and the Newfoundland Department of Mines (Allan Huard, pers. Comm., 2000).

St. Joe Canada Incorporated conducted an exploration program in 1982 over the Bay du Nord Group outcropping to the northeast of the Main Strickland Zone. Geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys and diamond drilling were carried out over a NE trending 20 km distance from 2km southwest of Big Pond Brook to Big Otter Pond. Eight DDH were drilled with completely negative results. (1983) Wynne, P.J. completed a litho geochemical study of the Strickland showing as a Master of Science thesis at Memorial University of Newfoundland 1985 - 1987 South Coast Resources/ Dolphin Explorations Ltd conducted an extensive survey for gold in the surrounding area. Exploration of the Strickland Property was carried out in the early 1990's. Noranda Exploration Limited conducted a brief preliminary assessment of the property during 1991-92 and the decision was made to drop the ground without any further work (Allan Huard, pers. comm., 2000). Tuach (1993) completed a detailed (1:5,000 scale) compilation map of the Strickland area including existing DDH, assays, mineralized zones, and general geology ; while Saunders (1996) added new grid locations and I.P. geophysical survey results (anomalies) to the Tuach (1993) compilation map. No follow up work has been recorded for the area since 1996.

Two small sulphide showings along strike from the Strickland Main Zone were explored by exploration companies. At Carrot Brook, located 1.2 km southeast of the Main Zone, low grade Pb-Zn mineralization was reported to occur sporadically for 350m along strike to the south. This mineralization was reported to occur as blebs and stringers along shear zones within silicified/altered rhyolite (Swinden, 1988). The Carrot Brook area rhyolite rocks lie on strike with the felsic horizon that forms the stratigraphic footwall of the Strickland Main Zone (Cooper, 1954; Swinden, 1981, 1988). Drilling by Falconbridge Exploration Limited intersected only minor mineralization in this area. In the Big Pond area, located 7 km NE along strike from the Main Zone, two Cu showings occur in silicified rock. The Big Pond Brook showing of 5% disseminated sulphides is hosted within a 15m wide alteration zone which encloses lenses of garnetiferous-chlorite schist and is brecciated in places with vuggy quartz veins (Swinden, 1988). Limited drilling was carried out in the Big Pond area by both Falconbridge Exploration Limited and St. Joe Canada Incorporated. The results of this drilling were negative and no additional work was recommended for the area.

Exploration (i.e.: detailed geological mapping, geophysical and geochemical

programs, and diamond drilling) has been focused on the Strickland Main Zone and immediate area since the late 1930's. The potential influence of the penetrative linear structural fabric within the host rocks, although variably recognized by a number of workers, was not systematically applied to the drill exploration programs. Likewise, the work of such recent workers as Wynne and Strong (1984) appears to ignore the effects of the penetrative deformation on the mineralization and host rocks as indicated by their genetic model for an intact volcanic pile within Strickland deposit area.( Sherry Dunsworth, 2000).

17

Regional and Local Geological History The Strickland Prospect and associated sulphide showings are hosted by metamorphosed, Dunnage Zone, Ordovician aged metavolcanic rocks of the Bay du Nord Group (Swinden, 1988). Within the La Poile Bay region of south western Newfoundland, the Bay du Nord Group follows the trace of the Hermitage Flexure and is separated from late Precambrian - early Paleozoic "Avalonian" basement rocks to the south by Silurian aged plutons and volcanic rocks of the La Poile Group ( Tucker et al., 1994). The Hermitage Flexure forms a sinuous belt of Ordovician - Silurian age volcanic and sedimentary rocks which outcrops throughout southern Newfoundland; including the Bay Du Nord Group to the west and coeval rocks of the Baie d'Espoir Group to the east ( Chorlton, 1980; Colman-Sadd and Swinden, 1984; Swinden, 1988). The Bay du Nord Group is bounded to the north by the Late Silurian La Poile Intrusive Suite, and to the south by the Bay d'Est Fault and the Burgeo Granite. The more recent work of Tucker etal. (1994) shows that the Bay du Nord Group is, in fact, a composite (both along and across strike); being composed of three, discrete, northeast trending litho tectonic belts: (1) the less deformed (lower strain) North Bay Belt composed of interstratified, graphitic sedimentary and felsic volcanic rocks which host the Strickland Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu Prospect; (2) the mylonitic (intense shear zone) Rattling Brook Belt composed of felsic volcanic, lesser sedimentary plus metagabbro (ophiolitic affinity) rocks with Cu-showings hosted by silicified - sericitic schist zones; and (3) the amphibolite-grade, foliated/lineated felsic tuffs of the Dolman Cove Belt which hosts minor Au-Cu alteration zone showings (Fig.4., Tucker etal., 1994). A southeast dipping fault between the Bay du Nord and the Rattling Brook Belts is intruded by weakly foliated Baggs Hill Granite. The most recent U/Pb dating of this granite was reported by Tucker et al. (1994) as 477.6 +/-1.8 Ma. (Middle Ordovician). Clasts of deformed Baggs Hill granite within parts of the Dolman Cove Belt clearly indicate the younger age of the Dolman Cove Belt relative to the Rattling Brook and North Bay Belts. Tucker et al. (1994) suggest that the North Bay and Rattling Brook Belts may represent either the same stratigraphic succession deformed to different extents, or different elements of the Dunnage Zone that were structurally transposed (and interleaved and imbricated) prior to the Baggs Hill emplacement. The Bay du Nord Group is intruded by undeformed dykes of the Devonian (390 +/- 3 Ma) Chetwynd Granite (B.H. O'Brien et al, 1991). The rock units in the Strickland area (North Bay Group) were considered by Wynne (1983), Swinden (1981) and Prince (1973) to be overturned and younging to the northwest; while Chorlton (1980) and Tucker et al. (1994) interpreted the rock succession to be right way up and younging to the southeast adjacent to the Rattling Brook Belt.

18

Four distinct phases of deformation were reported by Chorlton (1980) to affect the Bay du Nord Group, including; (a) two early periods of folding with associated penetrative fabric, (b) later movement along faults arid shear zones, and (c) an even later inhomogeneous event which locally produced kink bands, crenulations on earlier cleavage, and late movement on some faults. In proximity of the Strickland Prospect. Two distinct periods of metamorphism were reported for the area; (a) sericitic and biotite alteration with orthoclase porphyroblast development during hydrothermal sulphide emplacement (Wynne, 1983), and (b) regional upper greenschist (Wynne, 1983) or middle amphibolite metamorphism (Chorlton, 1980). It is important to note that Swinden (1988) noted that the delineation of a stratigraphic succession at the Strickland Prospect area is impractical due to the intensity of folding and faulting that affects the rocks. Likewise, the earlier work of Cooper (1954) recognized a metamorphic linear structure (parallelism of linear minerals in the plane of schistosity), "which strikes towards the NE and invariable dips (plunges) gently eastward parallel to the axes of drag folds". Cooper (1954) interpreted this NE plunging linear structure to mark an important direction for the localization of ore shoots on the Strickland claim. Although Cooper's interpretation of the ore fluids migrating up the axis of the drag folds was incorrect; he was ahead of many later workers in recognizing a linear as well as planar control on the distribution of the mineralization.

Mineralized Zones within Property

There are eight zones of mineralization within the property. A brief description of

all the zones will follow. The Strickland - Silver Hill Zone is located at 5295780 North and 402780 East. This zone contains mineralization that consists of sphalerite, galena, alargentum, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. The mineralization of the Silver Hill zone consists of a lens of carbonate-tremolite gangue, rich in Ag, with minor sphalerite and galena, while silver is present as native silver - antimony alloy termed allargentum. The mineralization extends for 200 m on surface (Prince, 1981).Resource estimates of this zone are 15,000 metric tonnes grading 2% Pb-Zn combined and 16oz/t Ag. Chip samples from Prince in 1978 assayed up to 0.58g/t Au over 0.3m from this zone. The mineralized zone is conformably contained within a section of northeast striking southeast dipping felsic pyroclastic rocks and flows at the contact with overlying sedimentary rocks. Both the pyroclastic rocks and sedimentary rocks are part of the Bay du Nord Group (Chorlton, 1980). Rock units in the area are considered by Prince (1973), Swinden (1981) and Wynne (1983) to be overturned and younging to the northwest. Chorlton (1980) interprets the sequence to be upright and younging to the south. According to Swinden (1981), the mineralized horizon strikes approximately 025 - 035 and dips at 55 - 60 to the southeast. Sulphide occurrences are found along strike from the Strickland mineralization for approximately 15km (Cooper, 1954) from Carrot Brook to Big Pond Brook. The Strickland- Copper Zone is located at 5295080 North and 402450 East. The mineralization in this zone consist of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite but, mainly the mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite and associated quartz and quartz veins, which are contained within a northeast striking southeast dipping chlorite-rich mafic tuff of the Bay Du Nord Group. No resource estimates have been made for this zone. In 1969 Long Lac Minerals intersected 5.18m of 1.9% Cu with some zinc, lead and silver in DDH L-11. Samples from this zone taken by Cooper in 1954 assayed up to 1.22g/t Au (grab) 1.36g/t Au over 1.8m (channel), and chip samples taken by Prince in 1978 assayed 1.99g/t Au over 3m. Stackhouse reported that these rocks consisted mainly of chlorite 60-70%. Sphalerite and galena occur in the foliation of the interbedded felsic tuffs. The Copper Zone occurs approximately 540m southeast of the Main Zone and the mineralization lies statagraphically below the Main Zone mineralization. The zone is bounded by faults to the north and south. Cooper observed native gold in chalcopyrite from the cooper rich zone.

20

The Strickland-Main Zone is located at 5295580 North and 402670 East. The mineralization in this zone consists of galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, arseneopyrite and marcasite. Resource estimates for this zone are 260,000 metric tonnes grading 5.3 % Pb-Zn and 6.3oz/t Ag. Grab samples taken by cooper in 1954 assayed from 0.31g/t Au to 6.12g/t Au, one chip sample from the zone assayed 8.19g/t Au over 3m, >500g/t Ag, >5% Pb and 2.0% Zn The Main zone of the Strickland Deposit comprises a massive sphalerite-galena-pyrite argentiferous mineralized zone contained within a section of northeast striking southeast dipping felsic pyroclastic rocks and flows at the contact with overlying sedimentary rocks. Both the pyroclastic rocks and sedimentary rocks are part of the Bay du Nord Group (Chorlton, 1980). Sulphide occurrences are found along strike from the Strickland mineralization for approximately 10 km (Cooper, 1954) from Carrot Brook to Big Pond Brook. The mineralized zone at Strickland is approximately 1067 m (3500 feet) long, the northern 610 m (2,000 feet) containing all the lead-zinc-silver deposits and the southern end hosting the Copper zone of the Strickland Deposit (Cooper, 1954). The mineralization at Strickland consists of two zones of Fe-Pb-Zn (minor Cu) sulphides that occur in sericitized felsic pyroclastic rocks over a strike length of 300 m. The two zones are separated by 10 m of altered (silica, pyrite, sericite) felsic pyroclastic rocks and a discontinuous siltstone horizon. The stratigraphically lower zone (4 m thick) consists of low grade pyrite-rich/sphalerite-galena poor disseminated mineralization in a silicified felsic lapilli tuff. The upper zone 2m thick is massive-Sphalerite with minor galena and pyrite plus significant silver, (Wynne, 1983). The high silver concentrations are coincident with carbonate-tremolite gangue. Footwall rocks to the mineralization are silicified, sericitized and contain abundant pyrite but discordant "stringer" mineralization is absent.

The Main Zone has been investigated both on surface and by diamond drilling for

a strike length of 1000m and to a depth of 200m. The Main Zone of the Strickland Deposits consists of two separate lenses within

felsic pyroclastic rocks and flows near the contact between these pyroclastic flows and overlying sedimentary rocks. The mineralization in the zone extends for approximately 300m along strike and is offset by several faults. The lower lens is approximately 4m thick, strongly foliated and is composed of compact fine grain aggregates of pyrite and galena. Tetrahedrite occurs within the galena as rare wedge shaped inclusions. Arsenopyrite occurs as euhedral crystals and small thin lath shaped grains. The upper lens is approximately 4m thick and consists of rounded felsic volcanic clots in massive sphalerite. Carbonate tremolite is present in the upper zone which is associated with the significant silver assays up to 34oz/t Ag over 2m ( the Silver Zone). Hole # 16-23-24 was drilled to test the down dip potential of the silver zone and the Main Zone-North Extension. Low base metal values were attained but a 3.4m section assayed 5.75g/t Au at 93.5m to 96.9m. No follow up drilling was done in this area

21

The sulphide mineralization comprises 30-60% banded aggregates of medium grained sphalerite, pyrite and minor galena with coarse crystalline calcite, minor quartz veins and tremolite. Cooper (1954) suggested a paragenetic sequence of early pyrite and arseneopyrite followed by later sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite. The Strickland Bison Fault Zone is located at 5294490 North and 402450 East. This zone lies stratagrapically lower than the Copper Zone. The mineralization is mainly of low grade, discontinuous and associated with quartz veins. Mineralization in the Bison Fault Zone occurs mainly in felsic ash tuff. The rock is grey-white and cut by minor milky quartz veins and grades upward into an intermediate lapilli tuff unit, and in some minor cases, lapilli sized felsic and quartz only fragments are set in a sericitic?chloritic to sometimes siliceous matrix. One diamond drill hole intersected 9.5m of this unit, 2.5m of which (77.4m to 79.9m) contained sphalerite and galena as veinlets and disseminations and minor disseminations of pyrite. One 0.8m mineralized section in felsic intermediate laqpilli tuff was also intersected in this hole. This latter rock unit is grey-white in colour and has lapilli size fragments, white and blue quartz and possibly lithic fragments set in a sericitic? chloritic to sometimes siliceous matrix (Hinchey, 1980). The mineralization consists of thin veinlets of sphalerite. Pyrite occurs as minor disseminations and with quartz veins, pyrite reaches up to 5 % in parts of this unit. The best intersection within this zone was 1.8m of 1.92% Cu, 1.28% Zn, 500ppb Au and 0.97oz/t Ag within a felsic tuff under a soil anomaly. This zone is considered to be still open in all directions. The Strickland Carrot Brook Zone is located at 5293650 North and 402300 East. The Carrot Brook zone lies on the same horizon with the Main Zone. This zone consist of a 30m wide silicified rhyolite horizon containing chalcopyrite, pyrite and arseneopyrite, and is traceable for over 500m Grab samples from this zone have assayed up to 2.4g/t Au, 8.8 % Cu and 4.6oz/t Ag. According to Cooper (1954), the lead -zinc deposits in the Carrot Brook Zone occur along shear zones in white weathered, silicified rock or quartz sericite schist’s. The mineralization consists of very low grade disseminated sulphides with quartz veinlets that cut sheared schist’s, and in highly silicified rocks where it consists of two sulphide veins, separated by 1m where some minor sulphides can be found. The maximum width of either vein is 15cm. The lower vein has an extent of 1.2m. The hanging wall of the upper vein is a shear plane consisting of a slaty sericitic gouge 5 to 20cm thick. Lesser shears run out from this in several directions and have localized smaller sulphide veins (Cooper, 1954). According to Gillis and Saunders map (Report by Barry and Prince, 1979), they report anomalous values of lead and zinc in felsic flows of the Bay du Nord Group in this area. No detailed description or location is given in the report. Geological contacts shown by Barry and Prince (1979) and Swindon (1981) indicate that the occurrence is along strike from the Strickland Prospect.

22

The Strickland Bog Zone is located at 5295470 North and 402860 East. The Bog Zone lies175m stratagraphically lower than the Main Zone. Host rocks are chlorite-rich intermediate to mafic tuffs and the mineralization consists of zinc-lead. The Bog Zone is overlain by graphitic shale's. A 6m band of mafic pyroclastics within the Bog Zone assayed 0.74% Zn, 0.32% Pb, 0.002% Cu, 0.05oz/t Ag and 124ppb Au over 6.1m. This zone has been determined to be still open in all directions. A narrower section assayed 7.64g/t Au,1.41% Zn, 0.54% Pb, 0.04% Cu, 2.74g/t Ag over 2.0m at 41.0m to 43.0m in hole 16-023-14. The Strickland Road Zone is located at 5293780 North and 403030 East. The Road Zone lies stratagraphically lower than the Copper Zone. The mineralization consists of sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite in a 9.2m section of intermediate lapilli tuff. About 3-5% disseminated pyrite is associated with quartz veins. Sphalerite and minor chalcopyrite occur as mm sized veinlets which are also associated with quartz veins up to 1% (Hinchey, 1980). The best intersection was 2.0m of 0.69% Zn. The intermediate lapilli tuff has lapilli sized white quartz and kalonized felsic fragments set in shaley/silty chloritic matrix. The rocks are cut by milky quartz veins that average 10cm which parallel schistosity as well as other quartz veins which are less than 3mm wide. Carbonate veins are present throughout the zone (Hinchey, 1980). Barry and Prince, 1979 state that anomalous soils from the Road Zone were taken in a bog, which is possibly underlain by an intermediate mafic pyroclastic unit. They also stated "the rocks to the north and south of this unit are mostly felsic flows, agglomerates and finer pyroclastics. A small amount of galena was seen in outcrop" (Barry and Prince, 1979). The Carrot Brook Area Zinc is located at 5293210 North and 402960 East. A minor zinc showing in grey bounded rhyolite consisting of sphalerite was found, DDH 020-16-15 was drilled to test the possible sub-surface extension of the showing. The sphalerite occurs as thin 1-2mm lenses from 0.5 to 1.5cm long which parallel the boundary. The section of DDH 020-16-15 that yielded the highest zinc values consisted of intermediate to acid volcanic rocks. The dominant sulphides are very poorly magnetic pyrrhotite and pyrite occurring in blebs and stringers coincident with laminations (Barry and MacIsaac, 1981). One small 10cm interval is present which consists of 1 to 3mm laminations of massive sphalerite occurring with 1.0mm crystals of galena. This intersection contains approximately 4 % quartz veins.

Another intersection which yielded good base metals values consist of acid intermediate tuff that is fine grained, light grey and includes layers of quartz (Barry and MacIsaac, 1981). Layers range from 1 to 7mm thick and augens of quartz are present in size of 2.0mm to 7.0mm. The interval is cut by quartz veins comprising 10% of the rock. The only visible mineralization in this section is massive pyrrhotite <1%. Some of the pyrrhotite occurs as blebs +10mm and discontinuous stringers, but is mainly associated with quartz veins.

The only samples collected in 2005 from this property were from previous diamond drilling. All drill hole descriptions given in reports was carefully read. The samples were mainly collected for gold assay. The holes that were sampled were as follows, DDH 16-023-14 (2 samples), DDH 16-023-24 (2 samples), DDH 16-023-25 ( 5 samples), DDH 16-023-30 (1 sample), DDH K-12 ( 2 samples), DDH K-4 ( 1 sample), DDH K-8 ( 4 samples). Descriptions of the samples and the meterage can be found in (Fig.9). Several other holes were looked at but were not sampled. Some of holes that needed to be sampled were found to be limited with the amount of core left from previous sampling and lost core. Other holes will have to be looked at in the future after the analytical data is received from the lab. Once the samples taken from the drill core were cut and bagged, the samples were later described in better detail. An abundant amount of arseneopyrite was observed in hole 16-023-14, 16-023-25, and K-8. After reading numerous reports, there has been very little mention of any arseneopyrite rich sections within the deposit or inmost of the drill logs that have been read. They mainly mentioned arseneopyrite to the northeast at Big Pond, to the southwest at Carrot Brook and one assay from British Canadian Mines Limited's sampling program.

Most exploration companies over the years have completed soil sample surveys,

stream sediment surveys, airborne surveys and ground electro magnetic surveys. These surveys have been done numerous times over the property and surrounding area. Most of the surveys coincide with each other where the surveys overlapped. Some variations were found in certain areas by different companies. Due to the amount of gold detected in some assays from the deposits, soils and area. The property has great potential for a gold rich massive sulphide deposit. It is quite possible that the gold in the deposit is very coarse and very little was intersected in drill core and what was intersected was left in the sieve in the coarse rejects. The coarseness of the gold could explain why there was no consistency in most of the sampling for gold. Also it was noted in a report by Charlie Dearin (1984) that Dearin mentions that "Gold values ranging from 0.01oz/t Au to 0.70oz/t Au are associated with the high grade mineralization and gold values up to 0.22oz/t is associated with pyritic quartz veins in the deposit..(Copper, 1954).Cooper also observed native gold in chalcopyrite from the copper rich zone.

Of the seventeen samples collected from drill core only five were anomalous in

gold. The highest gold value was 443ppb Au over 1.1m in drill hole # 16-023-30, this sample confirmed previous sampling of 500ppb Au over 1.8m. This hole was drilled near the Bison Fault Zone. The best assay from this hole was 1.8m of 1.92% Cu, 1.28% Zn, 1.05oz/t Ag and 500ppb Au, from Falconbridge's sampling. There was one sample taken from hole 16-023-30 this year which was 1.1m and assayed 2.70% Cu, 0.60% Zn, 1.84oz/t Ag and 443ppb Au. This is pretty consistent with previous sampling, although it is a little higher in Cu and Ag the length of the sample is shorter.

The talk of silver prices rising in the near future and the rising of base metal prices will leave this property an excellent asset to hold onto with the deposit containing 1,866,900 oz/t Ag and an average of 3% lead and zinc combined in 1.3millon tonnes of ore. With the possibility of this deposit being gold rich or having gold rich sections. This property will become very valuable in the future. (Quinlan Prospecting, 2005)

In December of 2006 a property visit was planned. A helicopter was contracted

from Pasadena (Canadian Helicopters) for the day. It took approximately 1 hour to fly from Pasadena to the Strickland property. Once on the property, the majority of the day was spent locating the trenches and the main mineralized areas. The ground was partially covered with snow which hampered production and sampling. A total of ten samples were collected from outcrop around and in the trenches. More sampling could have been done but due to the amount of snow and frozen ground very selective sampling was done. Three samples were collected from the Main Zone area.. Gold values ranged from 117ppb to 576ppb. Lead values ranged from 1.40 %t o 3.90%. Zinc values ranged from 2.17% to 9.70%. Silver values ranged from 140.4g/t to 311.6g/t. Two samples were collected from the Silver Hill Zone. Gold values ranged from127ppb to 839ppb. Lead values ranged from 5.30 % to 12.5 %. Zinc values ranged from 9.70% to 20.8 %. Silver values ranged from 243.1g/t to 568.5g/t. Copper values were relatively low for the Silver Hill and Main Zones with the highest value of 0.144%. Five samples were collected from the Copper Zone area. Gold values ranged from 142ppb to 17.9g/t. Copper values ranged from 1.45% to 6.60%. Lead samples ranged from 364ppm to 0.54%. Zinc values ranged from 306ppm to 0.153%. Silver values ranged from 9.25g/t to 74.3g/t. Arsenic values were below the detection limit for the Copper Zone and very slightly anomalous for the remaining samples. The best grades of base metals 12.5 % Pb, 20.8% Zn and 568.5g/t Ag came from the Silver hill Zone. The area that was sampled contained massive sulphides. The zone was very poorly exposed and partially covered with snow and ice. Better grades most likely could have been obtained, if the zone was better exposed. This area will be exposed better the next time the property is visited. Samples taken from the Copper Zone yielded the best gold grades. One sample of a 20cm wide quartz veins assayed 17.9 g/t Au. Historical samples from veins around the Copper Zone yielded grades up to 6.8g.t Au. Only one sample of the quartz vein was taken due to the look and texture of the vein, more samples of this and other veins will have to be taken the next property visit. (Quinlan Prospecting, 2007)

The property was visited a second time with a helicopter in May of 2007. The emphasis was to see if any mineralization could be found outside the main mineralized zones. No other mineralization was found, quite possibly due to snow cover. The majority of the property was covered in a blanket of hard packed snow limiting any type of prospecting. A portion of the day was spent walking another property (license 13468m) that was recently staked to cover the possible southwest extension of the Strickland Deposit. This property was completely covered with snow which prohibited prospecting.

There two known mineral occurrences located within this property. These occurrences consist of one lead occurrence and one zinc occurrence. Slightly elevated soil anomalies were found on these occurrences in 1980. The zinc occurrence was drilled with one diamond drill hole. Only minor amounts of mineralization were found in this hole. No other work has been performed on this area. One lake sediment sample taken in the area of these occurrences by the government of Newfoundland detected highly elevated zinc (201ppm), lead (40ppm) and copper (47ppm). This lake sediment sample is the highest within the two properties including samples taken near the actual Strickland deposit. This could possibly mean that there is more mineralization in the area that has not been discovered to date. The portion of the property that was visited is located to the north of these occurrences and south of the property boundary of the Strickland deposit. No visible mineralization was seen while prospecting in this area, possibly due to snow covering 90% of the ground. This property will have to be re-visited and the area with the high lake sediment sample and the two mineral occurrences will have to be prospected. Of the ten samples collected from outcrop within the property, all samples were anomalous for gold. The highest gold value attained was from the Copper Zone (17.9g/t Au), this sample was taken from a 20cm wide vuggy, rusty, and carbonated vein, only minor amounts of chalcopyrite and pyrite were seen within the sample. All historical data compiled have suggested the highest grade of gold attained from quartz veins within the zone have assayed up to 6.8g/t Au. The drill core from this zone, that is stored in Pasadena, will have to be checked for any sampling within any quartz veins within the holes, any quartz veins that have not been sampled will have to be sampled. (Quinlan Prospecting, 2007) During the visits in 2008, twenty samples were collected. Prospecting emphasis was mainly for gold within the Copper Zone during these visits. During previous visits numerous quartz veins in outcrop and subcrop blocks were observed throughout the property. A majority of these veins and subcropping areas were prospected in 2008. Fourteen samples of quartz veins and quartz rich wallrock were collected within the Copper Zone. Only two of the fourteen samples were below the detection limit for gold (<5ppb) (sample # 16291, 16299). Four of the fourteen samples were <500ppb Au (sample # 16293, 16294, 16298 & 16300). Two of the fourteen samples were <1000ppb Au (16292 & 16301). Six of the fourteen samples were between 1.0 g/t Au and 8.30 g/t Au (16295, 16296, 16297, 16302, 16303 & 16304). Copper values ranged from 8ppm to 14.90 %. Silver values ranged from 0.2g/t to 3.4 oz/t. Only slightly elevated lead values

26

and anomalous zinc values were received from these samples. The best assay from these samples was sample 16303 which assayed 8.25g/t Au, 14.9 % Cu, 0.48 % Pb, 0.41 % Zn and 3.4oz/t Ag

Six samples were collected outside of the Copper Zone. Two of these samples were from an old trench exposing mineralization of the Main Zone. These two samples assayed 1215ppb Au, 247ppb Au, 9.50 %Pb, 8.40 % Pb, 18.6% Zn, 15.2% Zn, 20.9oz/t Ag, 20.4oz/t Ag, 119ppm Sb, 0.08% Sb consecutively and 20ppm Hg each. One sample was taken in the vicinity of the Bog Zone, this sample assayed 73ppb Au 3.10 % Pb, 1.27% Zn, 0.367 % Cu, 7.77oz/t Ag and 120ppm Sb. The other three samples were collected outside of any trenches and any known mineralization. Only one of these samples was anomalous in gold (19 ppb) and 21.5 g/t Ag. The other three samples were slightly elevated in As, Zn, Cu, Ag and Pb. (Quinlan Prospecting, 2009)

In 2011 the Strickland property was visited a couple times. A helicopter was contracted from Canadian Helicopters in Pasadena. Flight time averages between 1.2 hrs and 1.6hrs.

The first trip was early in the Spring of 2011. The properties were still partially

covered with snow. Exploration was hampered due to hard packed snow and ice in the low lying areas of the properties. Only five samples were collected within lic.011131m during this visit. Two other properties (lic. 018618m & 018622m) that were staked in January were also visited during this trip. At the beginning of the trip, no plans were made to visit these other two properties and no exploration plans had been made for the properties. The time had been allotted for exploration within lic. 011131m. Due to the amount of snow and ice in the low lying areas within lic. 011131m, it was decided to fly to the other two properties and see what could be done. The property was traversed but, due to no plans being made for exploration for these properties (018618m & 018622m) prior to the trip, no data or maps to follow up and snow covering a majority of the two properties, exploration was hampered more so than within lic 011131m during this visit. No samples were collected from lic 018618m or 018622m during this visit. A majority of the time was spent trying to locate old showings within the properties, with no maps to go by only your own memory of maps that had been viewed in the past. It would have been only by pure luck to of stumbled onto the showings. The whole trip was pretty much a complete write off. Any other visits planned in the future will have to be planned for later in the Spring or early Summer. The snow and ice has been a problem in the past also.

27

The five samples collected within lic 011131m were from the Copper Zone area. This area was the best exposed area, due to the area being higher in elevation on a ridge. Four of the five samples were above the detection limit for gold, from 18ppb to 12098 ppb. Copper was highly anomalous in two of the samples 0.5% and 0.43%. Silver was up to 74.0g/t. Zinc and lead were anomalous. Sample 17109 which assayed 12g/t Au was from an area which had previous samples in the vicinity assay 6.4g/t Au. This area as had several samples in the multi gram range. This area should be stripped to solid bedrock and channel sampled to determine the extent of the gold mineralization in the zone.

The second trip was planned for late in July. This time of the year is highly

recommended for any other future visits. The extended daylight hours give an exceptional amount of time to do prospecting within the property and you get more value out of your money that you pay for the helicopter. In July you can get 12-13 hours a day prospecting weather permitting.

Twenty three samples were collected from lic. 011131m during the visit. The

primary focus was to locate an old copper gold occurrence located approximately 500m to the southwest of the original Copper Zone. Limited historical sampling from this zone has had assays up to 2.7g/t Au, 8.8% Cu and 10oz/t Ag. After a few hours of traversing and prospecting the New Copper Zone was presumably located. No evidence of sampling or stripping could be observed in the area. The rocks were very similar to what can be seen at the Copper Zone to the northeast, vuggy, rusty, leached felsic. Visible sulphides can be observed in fresher looking rock. The sulphides are mainly chalcopyrite and possibly bornite, trace amounts of zinc and lead were observed in quartz veins. Five samples were collected from various locations in the area. The samples consisted of highly leached bedrock, fresh rock was very hard to obtain. Copper assays from the area ranged from 0.16% to 2.37%.Gold assays ranged from 702 ppb to 2267 ppb with four of the samples greater than 1580 ppb. Silver values ranged from 2.0oz/t to 13.8oz/t in all five samples. Lead and zinc was found to anomalous in all samples. Stibnite was found to be highly anomalous in all five samples with two samples having ore grade assays of 0.22% and 0.64%.

Sampling from the area of the Copper Zone resulted in the collection of eight

samples. Copper assays ranged from anomalous to 5.80% with four samples greater than 1.61%. Gold assays ranged from just above the detection limit (6ppb) to 14090 ppb, with two other samples between 2830ppb and 5154ppb. All samples were anomalous in silver, with assays just above the detection limit to 4.5oz/t, with three samples just above 1.0oz/t. Zinc and lead was anomalous in the samples.

Sampling from outcrop and subcrop from the Main Zone area around the

trenches resulted in some very high grade assays. Six samples were collected with zinc assays ranging from 0.32% to 30.4% with four samples above 11.0%. Lead assays ranged from 0.33% to 11.7%. Silver assays ranged from 10.4g/t to 22.3oz/t. Gold assays ranged from 8 ppb to 1563 ppb.

28

Four other samples were collected from various locations within the property, these samples were only slightly anomalous for Au, Pb, Zn, Cu and Ag.

Licences 018618m and 018622 were visited briefly during this trip. The

properties were prospected on the flight back to Pasadena from the Strickland. Only a couple hours were spent on each property, time was limited. A total of six samples were collected from lic.018618m and seven samples from lic. 018622m. All samples were from outcrop and subcrop quartz veins with a couple samples of altered sediments?.

Of the seven samples collected within licence 018622m, four of the samples were

above the detection limit for gold (268ppb, 32ppb, 23ppb & 11ppb) with a high value of 268ppb, highly anomalous arsenic was detected in four of the seven samples. No other anomalies were detected in the samples. The samples were collected within a short distance of where the helicopter landed due to time being very limited. The samples weren’t selective in nature due to time restraints, any anomalies detected in sampling will have to be re-visited and possibly re-sampled if needed when a reasonable amount of time can be used for sampling

Of the six samples collected within licence 018618m, two were above the

detection limit for gold (121ppb & 17ppb), slightly anomalous zinc, copper, silver and lead was detected in a couple of the samples. The samples were collected nearby where the helicopter landed due to time restraints the same as with licence 018622m also, any anomalies detected in these samples will have to be revisited and possibly re-sampled if needed when time restraints are not a problem.

The Strickland Property has become a very valuable property in the past couple of

years. Silver prices have risen significantly to a high of almost $50/ounce along with gold prices sky rocketing to almost $1900/ounce. The Strickland property was thought to be a base metal deposit. The emphasis now is the property being a precious metal deposit. Significant gold values have been documented over the years in drill core and bedrock within the property. Over the past couple of years sampling has produced numerous gold assays from 5.0g/t to 17.9g/t in bedrock. The property is estimated to contain up to 3 million ounces of silver.

High Tide compiled all previous information, conducted a short reconnaissance visit in November 2011, and then completed a two week program of geological reconnaissance/prospecting/channel sampling in August, 2012. A one day reconnaissance trip to the property was conducted in May, primarily to ascertain if access to the property from the La Poile River was possible (it was not).

29

The objectives of the field program were to: 1) verify the previously obtained high grade gold samples via channel sampling; 2) examine all known prospects and traverse the prospective stratigraphy; and 3) sample previous drill holes for gold. This work took place from August 14 to 27, 2012, under the auspices of Exploration Approvals E120049 and E120202 from the Mineral Lands Division of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. The program was partly supported by a Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) grant from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (File #265-499-12).

The program was co-ordinated by the author. Quinlan Prospecting of Birchy Bay, Newfoundland supplied three prospectors, trucks, an ATV and a small excavator. Newfoundland Helicopters supplied helicopter support. The exploration team rented cabins near Deer Lake and flew to the property each day. High Tide carefully compiled previous work on the Strickland property, concurrently with constructing a GIS database. Government data (topography, claim data etc) formed the base for the GIS. Relevant maps from government/academic publications were incorporated into the database. The most important assessment maps were georeferenced, and important data like geology, showings, drill hole locations and various types of sample locations/results were digitized. Maps from the GIS database, along with a detailed discussion of previous work, were compiled into a report which is presented as Appendix B. A number of geological traverses were made across specific parts of the property in order to examine the property geology and some of the showings discovered by previous companies. The Falconbridge mapping was found to be fairly reliable; certainly their map cannot be improved upon without significant work. The prospective horizon is a felsic tuff/lapilli tuff which is traceable from one end of the property to the other, as shown by Falconbridge. In most places the unit is too strained to determine its original character, but locally it can be recognized as a lapilli tuff , and south of Carrot Brook it is tuff breccia. This unit hosts the main mineralization known on the property from immediately south of Carrot Brook to north of the Main Zone. Grab samples were collected from a number of showings. Sample locations and results are provided in Figure 12, Map 3 and Appendix C; Certificates of Assays are in Appendix D. None of the outlying prospects returned significant anomalous material. These showings typically consist of elevated pyrite in biotite schist that could be either metamorphosed sediment or felsic/intermediate volcanic rock. 34 grab samples were collected in total, and the highest gold content returned was 100 ppb. A large zone of silicification with disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrite was discovered; this zone basically runs from the Gold Zone to the showing south of Carrot Brook.

30

Two days were spent sampling historical core from the property, stored at the core library of the Department of Natural Resources in Pasadena. 44 core samples were collected from 15 different holes. Results were generally disappointing, in spite of the fact that most samples were of altered rock with disseminated pyrite, most of which looked prospective for gold. Only two core samples had more than100 ppb Au, with a high of 555 ppb (Appendix C).

Current Program and Results

Quinlan Prospecting Inc was contracted to complete a short prospecting program on portions (mainly 019217m and 019218m) of the Strickland property owned by High Tide Resources in August of 2013.

Newfoundland Helicopters Ltd of Deer Lake was hired for the transportation of personnel to and from Deer Lake to the Strickland property. Flight time averages between 1.0 hrs and 1.4hrs.

The prospectors rented a cabin at Rocky Brook Cabins in Cormack. The cabins are a ten minute drive to the helicopter base at the Deer Lake Airport. Three days of work were planned for the project due to a limited budget and weather permitting, one day within license 019218m and two days within license 019217m. Only two of the planned three days of prospecting was completed within the property, one day had to be called off after a partial flight to the property. The weather (fog) had lifted at the airport enough for the helicopter to fly but, the weather (fog) did not lift to the south.

The two days prospecting were focused on the south portion (Fig.10) of license 019217m. A total of twenty eight samples were collected within the southern portion (Fig.10) license 019217m during the two days prospecting. Samples were collected from outcrops, bags were marked and tags placed in bags along with rock sample, a small representative piece of the outcrop was collected, sample number marked on piece and placed in a separate bag for reference when assays are received. Sample locations were marked in the field using a hand held GPS. UTM coordinates (NAD 27) were marked in a note book along with detailed description of rock sample and sample area was marked with a flag with sample number attached. All samples consisted of outcrop which was mainly felsic to intermediate tuffs and breccias. Mineralization in the samples consisted of pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and minor amounts of zinc and lead. Most rock samples were highly altered, rusty and leached to somewhat of a sugary texture and proper identification of mineralization, lithology and alteration was impaired due to the leaching.

31

A prospective horizon was discovered during the field program which lies to the southeast of the mineralized horizon which contains the Strickland deposits, Carrot Brook Zone, Gold/Copper Zone and numerous other mineral showings.

The prospective horizon was traced for over two kilometres to the southwest from

the main property license 011131m. The horizon was sampled for approximately two kilometres from the southwest to the border of license 011131m to the northeast. The horizon was not traced onto license 011131m due a limited budget and the license (011131m) not requiring any work expenditures this year. The horizon will have to be prospected onto license 011131m in the next exploration program.

Of the twenty eight samples collected only five were below the detection limit for

gold with a high gold assay of 262ppb (87164). Nine of the twenty eight samples assayed between 121ppb Au and 262ppb Au.

Ten of the samples were highly anomalous in arsenic with nine samples

>2200ppm and one sample of 1072ppm As. Some of the samples were coincident with gold but not all.

Three samples had ore assays for base metals. Sample 87110 had an assay of

1.00% Cu and 7.0g/t Ag, with the second highest gold assay of 237ppb.. One sample (87151) had a high assay of 0.69% Zn with no other anomalies. Sample 87152 had assays of 0.94% Pb, 0.50% Zn, 10.5g/t Ag and >2200ppm As with 29ppb Au.

Five samples had highly anomalous copper but not ore grade with assays from

0.10% to 0.90% and anomalous gold. The last sample collected was 87166 which consisted of a fault breccia/gouge

zone that crosscut the prospective horizon. The sample consisted of fragments of host rock and a carbonated matrix, the rock was completely leached and no fresh rock or sulphides were visible, the sample assayed very slightly anomalous gold, (7ppb), 307ppm As and 203ppm Cu which is considered high for the condition of the sample in comparison to other samples collected, it was completely leached, somewhat compact but no fresh surfaces. This fault breccia/gouge area will have to be sampled and prospected in the future to determine if higher assays can be obtained from the zone with fresher samples being collected.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Prior exploration and previous visits to the property have highlighted the gold potential for the Strickland Property with samples assaying up to 17.9g/t Au, with numerous samples between 3.0g/t Au and 14.0g/t Au from the Copper Zone. Prince states in 1981 that "only ten short holes have been drilled in the Copper Zone to date, the deepest hole tested the zone at approximately 150m down dip. Very limited drilling has been done to this zone to date and all previous drilling was concentrated towards massive sulphides and not gold. Most of the drilling was done by Long Lac Exploration in 1968 with one impressive intersection of 1.90 % cu over 5.18m. in DDH L-11. Historical grab samples from the zone assayed 3.62 % Cu, 1.22g/t Au and 187.35g/t Ag, 1.61 % Cu and 0.31g/t Au and 3.86% Cu. A 3 metre chip sample assayed 2.3 % Cu, 23.11g/t Ag, 0.04% Pb, 0.03 % Zn and 1.99g/t Au, a 1.8m chip sample assayed 1.8g/t Au, mineralization intersected in drill holes was 1.32 % Zn, 0.62% Pb, 0.57 % Cu and 75.3g/t Ag DDH 16- 023-24 with 10 % disseminated Py+/- Cu. Previous exploration concentrated mainly on the Zn/Pb/Ag zones. The last known drilling within the Copper Zone was by Falconbridge in 1979. Most exploration companies over the years have completed soil sample surveys, stream sediment surveys, airborne surveys and ground electro magnetic surveys. These surveys have been done a couple times over the property and surrounding area. Most of the surveys coincide with each other where the surveys overlapped. Some variations were found in certain areas by different companies. Due to the amount of gold detected in some assays from the deposits, soils and outcrops. The property has great potential for a precious metal deposit with good base metal credits to boot. It is quite possible that the gold in the deposit is coarse gold and very little was intersected in drill core and what was intersected was left in the sieve in the coarse rejects at the lab during sample preparation. The coarseness of the gold could explain why there was no consistency in most of the sampling for gold. Also it was noted in a report by Charlie Dearin (1984) that Dearin mentions that "Gold values ranging from 0.01oz/t Au to 0.70oz/t Au are associated with the high grade mineralization and gold values up to 0.22oz/t is associated with pyritic quartz veins in the deposit..(Copper, 1954).Cooper also observed native gold in chalcopyrite from the copper rich zone. The highest gold value attained was from the property that has been seen in documentation was from the Copper Zone (17.9g/t Au), this sample was taken in 2006 from a 20cm wide vuggy, rusty, and carbonated quartz vein, only minor amounts of chalcopyrite and pyrite were seen within the sample. All historical data compiled has suggested the highest grade of gold attained from quartz veins within the zone have

33

assayed up to 6.8g/t Au. Sampling in 2008 has proven the Copper Zone is gold enriched in the quartz veins and in the altered and mineralized wallrock with six of fourteen samples assaying between 1.1g/t Au and 8.25g/t Au also, the Copper Zone has the potential for some significant copper grades with high assays of 14.9% Cu in 2008. Sampling in 2011 has advanced the possibility of the Copper Zones being highly enriched in gold and silver. Grab samples up to 14.0g/t Au, with numerous samples in the 2.0g/t and 14.0g/t range have been obtained. Silver assays just under 14.0oz/t, with numerous samples in the multi ounce range have been obtained from the old Copper Zone and the New Copper Zone. The two zones are approximately 500m apart with untested IP anomalies in between and further along strike. This area has potential to add some gold and silver ounces to the property. The drill core from the old Copper Zone, that is stored in Pasadena, will have to be re-logged, re-sampled if there is enough core remaining and sampled where no sampling has taken place. The channel sampling in 2012 did not return any spectacular gold values, but it did validate earlier grab sampling in the sense that anomalous gold was encountered. As expected, silver values were very good, and locally copper, zinc and lead values were high. Specific channel results include: Copper Zone: 8 m @ 1.37 g/t Au, 19.7 g/t Ag and 1.5% Cu; and 7 m @ 0.71 g/t Au, 13.1 g/t Ag and 0.35% Cu; Main Zone: 4 m @ 0.30 g/t Au, 262.6 g/t Ag, 2.05% Pb and 3.96 % Zn; 3.1 m @ 0.20 g/t Au, 305.7 g/t Ag and 1.10% Pb; and 2.4 m @ 0.31 g/t Au, 464 g/t Ag and 1.97% Pb ; Main Zone NE: 3.75 m @ 0.06 g/t Au, 152 g/t Ag, 2.10% Pb and 3.86% Zn; and 1.4 m @ 0.40 g/t Au, 311.6 g/t Ag, 5.14% Pb and 8.95% Zn; and Gold Zone: 2.2 m @ 1.01 g/t Au, 99.7 g/t Ag and 1.67% Cu; and 2.9 m @ 0.61 g/t Au, 57.1 g/t Ag and 0.23% Cu. Although assays from samples collected in 2013 were low, anomalies for gold, arsenic, copper, lead, zinc and silver were discovered in what is believed to be another prospective horizon within the property. Limited sampling and prospecting to date shows that the horizon is prospective for gold and base metals. The prospecting program was only two days long and was not primarily focused on this horizon. Another prospecting and mapping program should be planned for this specific horizon

Since the original property (011131m) was staked in 2004 the prices of precious metals have sky rocketed but, have since decreased significantly in the past couple of years. The Strickland property is still a very valuable property with the deposit containing an estimate of close to 3,000,000 oz/t Ag and an average of 3% lead and zinc combined in 1.3millon tonnes of ore (Non 43-101 Compliant). With the possibility of this deposit being gold and copper rich or having gold +/- copper rich sections. A NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate should be calculated by a qualified person to determine the actual tonnage and contained grade and ounces of silver. This would be very valuable to High Tide. An actual resource estimate most likely would be substantially higher than estimates given back in the 1980's. This idea will have to be taken into consideration for future exploration.

Also, a three dimensional map of all the diamond drill holes and intersections should be compiled to determine if any mineralized zones were missed by the zones dipping in another directions other than what was the projected dip. Also, the mineralized zones could be misplaced from the interpreted locations by faults. The three dimensional map would be a necessity before any further drilling would take place. The majority of license 019217m will be dropped, a perimeter (40 map staked claims) which surrounds license 011131m will be retained to cover the extensions of the deposits to a certain extent. The whole of license 019218m will be dropped.
