SUMMARY

Early in 2001, Hunter Dickinson Group Inc. entered into an option agreement with East- West Resource Corporation and Maple Minerals Inc. whereby HDGI might earn a majority interest in the Eva Kitto project, Lake Nipigon area, Ontario. The geological environment and structural setting at Eva Kitto was presented as a 'cone intrusion' model, prospective for 'Noril'sk1 type Ni, Cu, PGM deposits. RAO Noril'sk Nickel operates several very large nickel, copper and platinum group metal (PGM) mines at Noril'sk and Talnakh, Siberia, with estimated annual production of approximately 51 07o of the world's palladium, about 1807o of the world's platinum and substantial tonnages of copper and nickel. During August 2001, HDGI personnel conducted geological mapping, prospecting and rock sampling on the Eva Kitto property aimed at discovery of Noril'sk style mineral deposits.

Geological mapping confirmed the presence of a layered ultramafic intrusive complex with an apparent thickness of 1.5 to 1.8 km, forming an apparent ring 10 to 12 km in diameter. The complex is emplaced into Early Precambrian (Archean) metasedimentary and mafic metavolcanic rocks. This mapping did not substantially alter previous interpretations of the geology of the area; however it improved the understanding of the lithology and orientation of the Eva Kitto intrusive complex. Preliminary, widely spaced rock sampling indicated low, generally non anomalous contents of platinum, palladium, gold, copper and nickel. This muted geochemical response in not inconsistent with the blind (ie no surface expression) nature of deposits at Noril'sk - Talnakh.

The exploration work described in this report was completed at a cost of S16,000.

Climate in the Lake Nipigon area is typical of much of northern Ontario. Winter extends from late October through early April, with lengthy periods of sub -100C temperatures and occasional overnight lows to -350C from December through February. Summer temperatures can reach 250C. Mineral exploration is commonly ongoing year round throughout northern Ontario, although access to swampy areas may be dependent on frozen ground.

Thunder Bay, 155 km to the Southwest of the Eva Kitto property is a modern city, population 125,000, with excellent infrastructure including railway, international airport, and seasonal deep sea shipping. All labour, contract services and specialized supplies and equipment needed to support exploration and mining operations are readily available. Basic supplies and services are available in Beardmore, population 450, located 15 km east of the property on Highway 11.

Terrain is moderately rugged. Elevations range from 258 meters at Lake Nipigon to 370 meters at the summit of one of the small rounded hills which form a range about 1 km east of the lakeshore.

Vegetation consists of scrub spruce and cedar. Much of the forest cover was destroyed by a major forest fire in 2000, resulting in thick underbrush and extensive areas of windfall which greatly increased the difficulty of traversing.

HISTORY

Although numerous gold deposits have been explored and exploited in the Beardmore area about 15 km east of the property, there is very little documentation regarding historical mineral exploration of the area currently covered by the Eva Kitto claim block .

WORK COMPLETED, 2001

GEOLOGICAL MAPPING

Geological mapping by J. L. Oliver, Ph.D, P.Geo. concentrated on the intrusive complex portion of the Eva Kitto property (Figure 4).

ROCK SAMPLING

Concurrent with the geological mapping described above, 26 rock samples were collected. Samples were submitted to Accurassay Labs of Thunder Bay , for analysis for Au, Pt, Pd, Cu, and Ni. Sample sites are shown on Figure 5 and Accurassay Certificate Number 200140438 is attached as Appendix l.

GEOLOGICAL SETTING

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The area north of Lake Superior is dominated by an extensive package of Early Precambrian (Archean) rocks of the Superior Province. The 2 million square kilometer Superior Province is a stable, largely undeformed area of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks surrounded and cut by granitoid batholiths. Sediments and

Page 9: RPT ON GEOL MAPPING & SAMPLING OF EVA & KITTO TPS...The underlying vendors retain a Net Smelter Return royalty of 3*y0, which can be reduced to 1.507o by a cash payment of Si .5 million

volcanics of the Southern Province overlay the Superior Province. Mafic to ultramafic intrusions of two distinct ages (1 Ga and 1.8 Ga) are widespread through the region. Simplified regional geology and selected mineral occurrences are shown on Figure 3.

SUPERIOR PROVINCE STRATIGRAPHY

Traditionally, the Superior Province has been subdivided into subprovinces. These subprovinces are partially faulted bounded areas of similar rock types, structural style, metamorphic grade, geophysical characteristics and mineral deposit style. Within the Lake Superior-Lake Nipigon region, which encompasses the Eva Kitto property, three major easterly trending subprovinces have been recognized:

the Wabigoon Subprovince, which consists largely of discrete greenstone belts surrounded and cut by granitoid rocks, including the Northwind lake Batholith and the Onaman Lake Batholith;

the Quetico Subprovince, a 70 to 100 km wide linear strip of dominantly metasedimentary rocks, plus migmatitic and anatectic derivatives. The surface trace of the Quetico Fault, the northern boundary of the Subprovince, crosses the northern portion of the claim block. Granitoid intrusive rocks are of two main types; biotite- hornblende-magnetite bearing bodies of mixed mafic and felsic composition ranging in age from 2,685 to 2,690 my. and a slightly younger, (2,665 to 2,670 my) family of one-and two - mica ieucogranites and

the Wawa Subprovince which lies approximately 75 km south of the Eva Kitto claims and comprises two major greenstone belts of metamorphosed komatiite basalt, dacite and rhyolite with associated metasedimentary rocks, surrounded by extensive areas of granitoid rocks.

MINERALIZATION

Two styles of intrusive related PGM (± Ni, Cu) mineral deposits, widespread throughout the greater Thunder Bay region, have attracted exploration activity by prospectors and numerous junior and major companies.

PGM mineralization related to Archean intrusive complexes is known at several sites in the Lac des Iles area, 95 km north of Thunder Bay.

At the Lac des Iles minesite, North American Palladium is currently expanding an operating open pit mine to 15, 000 tonnes per day, and reports reserves plus resources totaling 146 million tonnes containing 7.4 million ounces of palladium. At Lac des Iles, palladium dominant mineralization occurs as disseminated sulphides (chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pentlandite) in pyroxenite and as disseminations and coarse interstitial blebs in a heterolithic breccia. Specific platinum group minerals include vysotskite, sperrylite, merenskyite and a palladium arsenide.

The Tib Lake, Buck Lake, Legris Lake and North Elbow Lake intrusions are being explored by several companies seeking Lac des Iles style PGM mineralization.

Major zoned 1.1 b.y. mafic intrusive bodies occur in a broad arcuate zone extending 600 km northeasterly from Duluth Minnesota past the northern tip of Lake Superior to Marathon Ontario. Several large, low grade sulphide deposits have been recognized within or related to these intrusives.

THE NORILS'K MODEL

Exploration work at Eva Kitto is targeted on discovery of one or more mineral deposits analogous to the giant Cu-Ni-PGM ore deposits of the Noril'sk - Talnakh region, central Siberia, Russia. Naldrett et al, (1999) states these deposits comprise the second largest economic concentration of Ni in the world, second only to the Sudbury Complex, Canada. In terms of PGM content, the district is second only to the deposits in the Bushveld complex, South Africa.

Vermaak, (1995) quotes tonnage for the Noril'sk - Talnakh district, for both disseminated and massive ores, as 770 Mt grading Q.81% Ni, 2.1 07o Cu, 1.87g7t Pt, 6.33g7t Pd Production is from 6 mines. Note that these figures include large tonnages of lower grade disseminated ores; actual massive ores, a lesser portion of the global tonnage, commonly grade over A-% Ni.

Several key features of the Noril'sk-Talnakh district have been recognized which can be applied to exploration in the general Lake Nipigon area and in particular to the Eva Kitto property.

The Noril'sk orebodies are associated with Triassic tholeiitic mafic intrusives, which were feeders or conduits for flood basalts, and served as centres of igneous activity and Cu- Ni-PGM mineralization.

Magmatic Cu-Ni-PGM deposits of the Noril'sk region are associated with the deep seated Noril'sk-Kharayelakh fault structure and all have similar geological settings and ore controls. Mafic subvolcanic intrusives migrated upward along the Noril'sk- Kharayelakh fault to penetrate the overlying Proterozoic argillaceous sediments, Devonian evaporites, Carboniferous limestones and coal.

Mineralized intrusions in the Noril'sk region are fully differentiated basal picrite overlain by picritic dolerite followed by an upper felsic phase. The intrusives are sill-like, lensoid to trough shaped in cross-section, and measure up to 12 km x 2 km x 350m in size. The magmatic sulphide orebodies reflect the assimilation of sulphur from the bounding sediments by the ascending mafic magma. Cu-Ni-PGM mineralization is developed within the sills, from the basal contact up to the picritic phase and also downward into the underlying metamorphosed country rock. PGM mineralization occurs in all ore types with highest grades developed in the high grade copper phases in the lower portion of

Page 12: RPT ON GEOL MAPPING & SAMPLING OF EVA & KITTO TPS...The underlying vendors retain a Net Smelter Return royalty of 3*y0, which can be reduced to 1.507o by a cash payment of Si .5 million

massive sulphide bodies and copper rich veins. Disseminated ores comprise about 7007o of total ore, massive ores about 1007o and vein ores about 1307o (Naldrett, 1999). It should be emphasized that many of the Noril'sk-Talnakh ore deposits are lacking in surface exposure.

As with the Noril'sk-Talnakh setting, the Eva Kitto ring intrusive complex was emplaced along a major deep-seated crustal break which is the locus of cyclic mafic to ultramafic plutonism.

Similarities of the Eva Kitto property to the Noril'sk-Talnakh district are summarized in Table 3.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The Eva Kitto property covers a 10 km by 7 km semicircular 'cone' or 'Ring' Intrusive Complex. This intrusive complex, believed to be age equivalent to the Keweenawan Supergroup, at 1.1 billion years, consists of three main units, diabase, peridotite and gabbro/granodiorite. Field observations indicate that the complex occurs as a westerly dipping sill, intrusive into Archean volcanic and sedimentary units.

Geological mapping during August 2001 by J. L. Oliver, Ph.D, P.Geo. concentrated on the Ring Intrusive Complex portion of the Eva Kitto property (Figure 4). Oliver's geological mapping confirmed the presence of the Ring Intrusive Complex and improved understanding of its composition and attitude. The exposed intrusive complex is apparently one sill-like limb of a much larger complex probably centred under Lake Nipigon. Although Oliver observed several scattered outcrops of pyroxenite, his work did not define a continuous, cohesive pyroxenite 'layer'. This lack of surface expression of such a discrete layer may result from limited outcrop exposure combined with the widespread, large scale nature of the reconnaissance mapping completed.

ROCK SAMPLING

Concurrent with the geological mapping described above, 26 rock samples were collected. Samples were submitted to Accurassay Labs of Thunder Bay , for analysis for Au, Pt, Pd, Cu, and Ni. Sample sites are shown on Figure 5 and Accurassay Certificate Number 200140438 is attached as Appendix l.

No anomalous metal contents are immediately apparent. This apparent lack of metal associated to the Eva Kitto ring intrusive complex is not inconsistent with the 'blind' nature of many of the NoriPsk-Talnakh deposits.

DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION

Geological Mapping

The geological mapping described in this report provided greater understanding of the composition and orientation of the Eva Kitto intrusive complex. The Eva Kitto Ring Intrusive Complex appears to dip gently to the west-southwest, rather than the previously interpreted steep dip.
