Introduction The Voisey’s Bay Mine is associated with large complex stratiform mafic/ultramafic magmatic deposits. The Voisey's Bay Ni-Cu-Co mineral resources are invariably associated with a troctolite sheet and dyke complex that has intruded Archean quartz-feldspar-biotite gneisses belonging to the Nain Province and the Proterozoic garnetiferous paragneiss of the Churchill Province. At approximately 555833E and 6243111N. The Voisey’s Bay Extension property was staked in anticipation of a multifaceted and exciting exploration project for magmatic nickel sulphide deposits. The geology of the Voisey’s Bay deposit still needs more exploration and interpretation. The Voisey’s Bay deposit (116.3 million tonnes averaging 1.71% Ni, 0.92% Cu and 0.09% Co, including 31.7 million tonnes averaging 2.83% Ni, 1.68% Cu, & 0.12% Co, INCO press release, 1998). The tonnage has recently been increased substantially at Voisey’s Bay to include eastern deeps deposit and other deep underground mineralization. The Voisey's Bay mine has a project life of approximately 30 years and ranks as one of the least cost nickel producers in the world. The property was staked to try and find geophysical and geochemical anomalies for drill testing. Shallow drilling of these anomalies was planned where possible. The exploration potential of the area captured by the recently staked land is believed to be exceptional. The exploration upside is especially important to us on account of the fact that the Voisey's Bay Mine is still at a very early stage compared to other world-renowned nickel districts like Noril'sk and of course Canada’s Sudbury mines. It is important to remember that the aforementioned mines dramatically grew in size over the first few decades following discovery. Recent drilling continues to enhance the size potential of the deposits. Further exploration may result in the delineation, expansion and discovery of mineral resources.

Previous Work There has been a lot of work done in this map area by numerous companies and prospectors. After the Voisey’s Bay discovery quite a bit of exploration occurred in Labrador. There was not enough boots on the ground exploration in my humble opinion. Most exploration racked up huge costs just flying around in helicopters looking for rusty gossans. The area still needs some solid hours logged on the ground to find more showings and do ground magnetometer work. Geocore Exploration Inc and JAL Exploration Inc have done previous work in the area we are looking at.

Observations and Compilations We spent several days and nights compiling data, drawings, maps, interpreted cross sections, planning campsites, traverse routes, GPS coordinates for soil sampling program and magnetometer program. Determining required level of support, supplies and equipment. Several days where spent talking with 3 companies that could fly us in and out and support us during the exploration endeavor. In the end we were denied the opportunity to prospect on the big land. Our dreams were crushed and the companies we worked with are very disappointed in us due to the time and resources they used as they needed to pay employees for the time they spent planning with us. The Department of Natural Resources refused us the opportunity to do exploration there because they feel the area needs advanced exploration and prospectors would not add value by prospecting the area.

Recommendations: I recommend doing some geophysics on these claims we may be able to identify some geophysical anomalies and trends. I also recommend a soil grid and trenching any anomalies. The areas where anomalies are present should be drill tested. Altius should be contacted again to see if they are interested in optioning these claims as they are planning exploration in the area and have our claims encompassed. I recommend the Department of Natural Resources give prospectors the choice to prospect where they want to prospect. To let them use free will and make their own decisions stop micromanaging every aspect of a prospectors activities. We need the ability to act at our own discretion. We need the ability to choose between different possible courses of action and exploration techniques based on what we see in the field not based on what some city slicker sitting behind a desk in St. John’s tells us we need to do.

Conclusions: There is no secret that the area holds great nickel and copper mineral resources. The Voisey’s Bay Mine is associated with large complex stratiform mafic/ultramafic magmatic deposits. The Voisey’s Bay Extension property was staked in anticipation of a multifaceted and exciting exploration project for magmatic nickel sulphide deposits. The geology of the Voisey’s Bay deposit still needs more exploration and interpretation. The Voisey’s Bay deposit (116.3 million tonnes averaging 1.71% Ni, 0.92% Cu and 0.09% Co, including 31.7 million tonnes averaging 2.83% Ni, 1.68% Cu, & 0.12% Co, INCO press release, 1998). The tonnage has recently been increased substantially at Voisey’s Bay to include eastern deeps deposit and other deep underground mineralization. The Voisey's Bay mine has a project life of approximately 30 years and ranks as one of the least cost nickel producers in the world. The property was staked to try and find geophysical and geochemical anomalies for drill testing. Shallow drilling of these anomalies was planned where possible. The exploration potential of the area captured by the recently staked land is believed to be exceptional. The exploration upside is especially important to us on account of the fact that the Voisey's Bay Mine is still at a very early stage compared to other world-renowned nickel districts like Noril'sk and of course Canada’s Sudbury mines. It is important to remember that the aforementioned mines dramatically grew in size over the first few decades following discovery. Recent drilling continues to enhance the size potential of the deposits. Further exploration may result in the delineation, expansion and discovery of mineral resources.

In conclusion I believe there is considerable economic potential for the land we staked. I believe that considerable ‘room’ remains for exploration in future years. The government needs to allow us to get boots on the ground on this site so we can find new showings and get ground geophysics done. We want to be prospectors, we don’t want to be promoters, so let us prospect.

July 16, 2015 Stephen Stockley 2A Bowes Street Gander, NL A1V 1E6 Dear Mr. Stockley: The Prospector Assistance Program Selection Committee completed its review of your grant application. Based on this review, the Pants Lake mineral licenses are not eligible for funding for the following reason:

1. There has been significant exploration and geological work carried out in the Pants Lake region since the discovery of the Voisey’s Bay Deposit in the early 1990’s. While the mineralized basal contact of the Pants Lake Intrusion is prospective, it is the opinion of the Committee that this target requires advanced exploration techniques rather than early-stage prospecting activities as proposed.

Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me at the number and/or email listed below. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Dale O’Reilly, P.Geo. Mineral Incentive Geologist
