Preface
PREFACE
Asian Exploration/Development Ltd. is offering a joint venture and investment opportunity to explore and develop a promising gold prospect in a 19 claim block near Timmins, Ontario. This property is adjacent to and south of the Glory Mining and Refining Claim Group which has been successfully explored and developed since 1981 and which is nearing the production stage.
BACKGROUND OF AREA
Timmins area has been a major producer of gold for over 75 years. Since 1908, well over 50 million ounces of gold have been produced from over twenty-four different deposits, making it the largest gold producing camp in the world.
Refer to Site Location Map (Appendix "A")
GEOLOGY
A doctoral thesis by Dr. J. L. Kirwan (Geology of the Precambrian rock of the Porcupine mining area, Canada; University of London, England, 1968) interprets the geology of this area as "virtually identical with that of the Timmins, area a few miles to the east, with which the major gold deposits there are genetically associated." In this paper, .he predicts that the Kamis- cotia area will be the next major gold camp in this country.
This prediction appears to be quite accurate in light of the recent exploration work done in the area, confirming the geological structure as "key rock type for the location of gold deposits in the Precambrian Shield and elsewhere, as well as the fact that the visible high grade gold was found in the claim almost immediately to the north". {See Appendix 'C')
Dr. Kirwan, employed as a consulting geologist on the project, has made some interesting recommendations. To quote:
a) "The property is a primeexploration of gold and base
b) "The felsic intrusive body on these is in part porphyritic, and therefore prospecting focus for potential gold deposits."

Preface
c) "Considering the association of the mag netic high to the southwest of Vision Lake with gold mineralization, the mag netic data which it defines then must be considered to be of exceptional import ance."
d) "The claims are on the flank of such a structural dome as are the orebodies at Timmins, Kidd Creek, and Kam-Kotia."
e) "Three massive sulphide orebodies discov ered nearby are of 'strategic importance. 1 "
In a report dated December 3, 1982, Dr. W. O. Karvinen * states:
"Preliminary basal till geochemistry reveals the presence of a broad, consistent gold anomaly, located on claims P854456 S. P854461. This indicates a bedrock source up-ice, probably in the next claims to the north." (But still within the Asian Claim Group, see Appendix 'C'.)
In light of the recommendation of these eminent geolo gists, this 19 claim group is a property of exceptional merit, promising to be a lucrative opportunity for the discriminating investor.

Summary
SUMMARY
It is strategically important that the subject property (herein called the Asian Claim Group) is located on ground which is structurally very similar to orebodies at Timmins, Kidd Creek, and Kam-Kotia.
The Asian Claim Group, according to geologist Dr. J. L. Kirwan, contains "a porphyry body/ a key rock type for the location of gold deposits in the Precambrian Shield. The porphyry orebodies in Timmins are wrapped in gold- bearing quartz veins that are found in the Hollinger, Me Intyre, and Dome mines. This existence of porphyry almost DEMANDS detailed work be done on the ground."
Actual gold mineralization, located through the explo ration and development of the claim group to the north, and discovery of gold anomalies by consulting geologist Dr. W. O. Karvinen, combined with the above factors makes the property one of exceptional interest. Indeed/ this ground offers a "first-class exploration target for gold."
Herein is outlined a program of geophysical profiling, basal till drilling, exposure of mineralized areas, extensive sampling/metallurgical testing and trial custom milling of favourable rock.

Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROPERTY AND LOCATION
The property which is the subject of this report is a contiguous block of mining claims owned by Asian Explo ration/Development Ltd. located in the southeastern part of Robb Township and southwestern part of Jamieson Township, approximately 25 miles northwest of Timmins, Ontario. The property of interest, here referred to as the Asian Claim Group is a block of 19 unpatented claims (see Location Nap, Appendix A) each comprising an area of approximately 40 acres. The Asian claims are regis tered in the Porcupine Mining Division recording office in Timmins under the following numbers:
P854453 to P854458 inclusive Robb Township
P854463 to P854469 inclusive Robb Township
P854459 to P854461 inclusive Jamieson Township
P854470 to P854472 inclusive Jamieson Township
Located immediately to the north o.f the Asian Claim block are a group of 3 patented claims (see location map, Appendix A) under Glory mining and Refining ownership. For future, reference,, this group will be referred to as the patented Glory Claim Group.
Two previously producing mines,- the Kam-Kotia and Jame- land, lie within 1-1/2 miles of the property. They were prolific producers of copper, zinc, gold, and silver until depletion of their ore reserves resulted in their closure.
1.2 ACCESSIBILITY
The property is reached via Highway 576, an all-weather paved road, which joins Highway 101 four miles west of Timmins, Ontario. Highway 576 passes just west of the claim group enroute to Kam-Kotia Mine. The property interior is accessible via a short logging road which branches eastward from Highway 576 south of the Little Kamiskotia River.

Introduction1.3 TOPOGRAPHY AND FACILITIES
The terrain of Robb, Jamieson and adjacent townships is generally flat or very gently rolling hills though a few scattered monadnocks may produce a local relief exceeding 400 feet in places. In detail in some loca lities the ground may be rugged with low rounded ridges and hills separated by narrow drift-filled valleys and ravines. This is the case on the subject property. Forest cover consists of a mixed growth of spruce, pine, cedar, balsam, poplar, birch, alders, and willow. Over burden consists of glacial tills, outwash sand and gravel, and humus probably nowhere exceeding 50 feet in thickness.
The Little Kamiskotia River which flows through the claim block, and Vision Lake located on the northeast, with Kamiskotia Lake on west, all provide reliable sources of water. Hydro electric power is available from two transmission lines which run adjacent to the property. Nearby Timmins 1 communities serve as a reliable source of experienced mine labour, equipment and supplies. There are no permanent camps on the property but materials for such accommodations can be easily transported to the site.

Geology2. REGIONAL AND ECONOMIC GEOLOGY
2.1 INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The following summary of the Regional and Economic Geology of the Robb-Jamieson area is an excerpt from a geological report on the subject property by Dr. John L. Kirwan1, consulting geologist. Please note that comments made by Dr. Kirwan regarding geological occurrences on claims 12557 and 12556 are in reference to the claim group referred to in this report as the patented Glory Claims. {See Location Map, Appendix A).
2.2 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
Ontario Geological Survey geological map 2205 at a scale of 4 miles to the inch shows the Robb-Jamieson area to be largely underlain by a complex of Precambrian felsic and mafic lavas and proclastic rocks/ generally steeply dipping and trending northwestward and in close as sociation with intrusions of granites and gabbro, also of Precambrian age.
A doctorial thesis by the writer (Kirwan, J. L. Geology of the Precambrian Rocks of the Porcupine Mining area, Canada; University of London, 1968) interprets the structure of this area as largely domal, with the lavas and pyroclastic rocks wrapped around a gabbro-granite complex which probably served as the source material for the extrusion of the lavas. Porphyries within this complex would be, by this interpretation, actual vol- vanic feeders. The importance of this interpretation is that it is virtually identical with that of the Timmins area a few miles to the east, with which the major gold deposits there are genetically associated. A similar structural-genetic relationship is interpreted for the Texas Gulf (Kidd Creek) massive sulfide mining areas in the Canadian Shield, for example, the Noranda area of western Quebec.
In the Robb-Jamieson area there appears to be good evidence for a genetic relationship between the struc tural doming and at least the sulfide occurrences, for the Kam-Kotia, Genex, Jameland-Dominion Gulf, and Canadian Jamieson deposits all appear to be essentially in the same geological unit which wraps itself around the granitic core to the interpreted dome, and at least one gold deposit, the old Lally Mine in Turnbull Township appears to have similar setting.For these reasons the writer believes that the area surrounding the granitic core of the Kamiskotia Dome, in which the present claims are situated, is a prime target area for exploration for gold and base metals.

2.3 GEOLOGY OF THE CLAIMS
Ontario Geological Survey Maps P. 694 (Robb Township) and P. 695 {Jamieson Township) * both at a scale of 1320 feet to the inch and both issued in 1971, show that the claims area is underlain by Precambrian felsic and mafic intrusive rocks around which are wrapped mafic and (interpreted) felsic volcanics, the whole cut by north- striking diabase dikes.. Work by .the writer indicates that many of these dikes in the Kamiskotia area occupy faults, each with a left-handed displacement of a few tens of feet. Of particular interest is the fact that the felsic intrusive body-on th-ese claims is in part porphyritic and therefore a prospecting focus for potential gold deposits. Outcrop is fairly sparse so that much of the geological information is derived from interpretation on geophysical data and is therefore less dependable than that derived from outcrop information. All rocks trend northwesterly and dip steeply to the northeast.
2.4 AIRBORNE ELECTROMAGNETIC DATA
An airborne survey using the Barringer INPUT system conducted on northeast-trending flight lines at a 660 foot spacing and a terrain clearance of 165 feet was examined in the writer's files. No electromagnetic conductors were recorded in this survey from the air.
2.5 GROUND MAGNETOMETER SURVEYS
Ontario Geological Survey compilation maps P. 521 and P. 598 for Robb and Jamieson Townships respectively, each at a scale of 1320 feet to the inch published in 1971 and 1970 respectively, show isomagnetic contours from readings made by ground magnetometers in these two townships, including the present claim group.
Compilation maps P. 676 and P. 677 show the geophysical grids from which the isomagnetic maps were made. These were cut at a 400 foot spacing and oriented northeas terly from a northwest-trending baseline. The southwest portion of the claims in Jamieson Township were not covered in the compiled surveys and were covered on a reconnaissance level by Ontario Geological Survey field geophysicists.

l Geology
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
The ground magnetometer surveys show several features of interest. North-south oriented magnetic ridges are most certainly due to diabase dikes occupying fault planes of the Mattagami River Fault system which, for the most part, have left-handed displacement. In the area near and northward from the 7 mile post of the township line, magnetic disturbances involving irregular "lows" pro bably reflect the presence of a granitic porphyry that is mapped in that area. Elsewhere on the property there are generally northwest-trending magnetic responses which reflect the differing compositions of the north west-trending volcanic rocks referred to.
Of particular interest are several northwest-trending magnetic zones, oval in shape and several hundred to a thousand feet in length. One of these, on claim 12557, is associated with the known gold-bearing zone of the claim block. The presence of other, similar, magnetic zones on the property may indicate the presence of similar mineralization.
Magnetic responses off the claim block to the east indicate that a northwest-trending fault probably passes through the magnetic body on claim 12557. Other mag netic bodies in the southwest part of the ground appear to be similar in fault zones, though the evidence is less clear-cut than for that on claim 12557.
2- 6 GROUND ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEYSt
Compilation Maps P. 676 and P. 677, already referred to, show axes of electromagnetic conductors located on the grid lines shown. No conductors are shown on the claims in Jamieson Township (although it should be remembered that the southern part of this ground was not surveyed). On the ground in Robb Township there are 4 weak conduc tors in the southern part of the ground, and one weak conductor on claim 12557 in close association with the magnetic body already referred to, and two weak conduc tors on the adjoining claim 12556 to the west, near the tip of the magnetic body.
A MAXIN electromagnetic survey was conducted for the present owners of the ground and profiles available for that part of the survey conducted on lines 2+00, 3+00, 4+00, 5+00, and 6+00 mE. The exact location of these lines is not given, though they probably correspond with similarly numbered lines on a ground magnetic contour map on which a northeast-trending grid from a northwest (Az 125 degrees) baseline is shown. These lines are 100 metres apart, with line 6+00 mE entering the west side of Vision Lake on Claim 12557.

History
3. HISTORICAL AND PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY
3.1 HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Robb 6 Jamieson Townships properties have had pros pecting and exploration activities carried out in their vicinity for more than 60 years. As mentioned pre viously, several producing mines in the area, namely the Kam-Kotia, Jameland, and Canadian Jamieson Mines Ltd., clearly indicated that occurrences of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and lead could be economically viable.
Portions of the subject property have been partially explored by various interests over the past 38 years including Mining Corporation of Canada (1946), New Walcoro Mines (1946), Kirkland Minerals (1959), Mespi Mines (1964), Canadian Lencourt Mines (1966) and Falcon bridge Nickel Mines (1971). With reference to the Ontario Geological Survey assessment files in Timmins, consulting geologist John Kirwan summarizes previous work done on the ground as follows:
A * File T311; Mining Corporation of Canada (1946)
Essentially, a program of geological mapping was preformed, with the principal result being the definition of the body of quartz feldspar porphyry on the property.
B. File T1373; Canadian Lencourt Mines Limited (1966)
This program involved geological mapping and a magnetometer survey, the results of which are on the Ontario Geological Survey Preliminary Maps already referred to.
C. File T497; Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited (1971)
This work involved considerable geological mapping, a magnetometer survey using a Me .Phar M200 magneto meter, and electromagnetic survey with the Mc- Phar S515 vertical loop unit. Weak electromagnetic conductors are reported on claims P854461, P854457, P854468, and P854467.

History
3.2 EXPLORATION S, DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH CLAIM GROUP
Early in 1981, Glory Mining and Refining- Ltd. Initiated a program of reconnaissance basal till geochemical surveying under the direction of consulting geologist Dr. W. O. Karvinen. This exploration effort was concen trated on the 3 patented Glory claims (P14405, P12556, and P12557) in order to evaluate the base metal as well as precious metal potential of the bedrock buried beneath these particular claims. Results of the basal till sampling which consisted of a program of 72 drill holes, yielded several values anomalous in gold, but none anomalous in base metals.2
In the winter of 1981, under the direction of Glory Mining representatives, stripping in the vicinity of magnetic anomaly "A" on Claim 12557 located carbonated rock, an "indicator of possible gold mineralization." Although packsack drill holes failed to intersect the carbonated zone", continued stripping did yield rock samples with assay values up to 0.18 ounces of gold to the ton. A further set of 50 basal till samples were taken showing only limited anomalous gold values but Dr. Karvinen did recommend alternative geophysical surveying owing to the "unacceptable" nature of the till encoun tered in sampling.3
Two holes drilled obliquely through magnetic high anomly "A" in close proximity to earlier trenching activity intersected several "zones of carbonate alteration, minor mineralization in copper, zinc, lead and sub-ore values in gold." The possibility of the association of magnetic highs with zones of alteration is suggested by Dr. Karvinen, who recommends further trenching and .. drilling of local electromagnetic conductors.4
Following a program of trenching and sampling in the summer of 1982, an area of anomalous gold values was defined with two samples assaying at 0.18 and 0.344 ounces of gold per ton.6 In response to further recommen dations by Dr Karvinen, additional drilling of 5 holes at various angles was undertaken in late 1982, locating several more zones of alteration at various depths, in close proximity to anomoly "A". Dr. Karvinen did not recommend further work for the Glory Claim Group.
Sampling preformed by geologist Gary M. Poetsche in the spring of 1983 at the trench site, produced assay values of 0.005, 0.68 (with 0.26 silver), and 0.005 ounces of gold per ton. Documented observances of flecks of visible gold and parallel quartz stringers in carbonated rock are contained in his report, along with recom mendations for further sampling6.

History
Additional stripping of ground at the site of anomaly "A" continued through the autumn of 1983 under Glory Mining and Refining direction. These efforts were significantly successful in exposing a large area of carbonate rock containing some quartz veins with visible gold. Dr. J. L. Kirwan, in a visit to the pit site in late 1983, made the following comments about his obser vations:
The writer visited the property in the fall of 1983 just before it became snowed in. At the time the large area of stripping was exposed, the bottom of the pit was water-filled, and stripping was procee ding northeastward, but the target area namely the magnetic high had not yet been reached. Most, if not all, of the rock exposed in the pit was of highly carbonated , nearly massive, green basalt or andesite. In one large block of 6 or 7 ton size, which was loose presumably due to blasting, two very regular quartz veinlets were seen, of about half an inch thickness, separated from each other by about 10 inches of green massive carbonate, and absolutely parallel with each other, with visible gold on the exposed surface of the more exposed vein. This gold occurred as more or less regularly spaced flecks visible as gold from several feet distance, each several inches from its neighbour. Other veins in the pit were said to more or less radiate outward from the area -of the magentic high1.
3.3 EXPLORATION OF THE ASLAN CLAIM GROUP
Exploration of the subject property by the present owners was initiated in the autumn of 1982 with a program of overburden drilling and basal till sampling. A total of 78 holes were drilled along an east-west sampling line (see Appendix "B" for location) which passed through the claims. Samples from these holes were tested to determine the distribution of basal till across glacial ice direction, depth to bedrock, and also analyzed for gold content.
In summarizing the results of this exploration program Dr. W. O. Karvinen verified the suitability of the till encountered for this method of geochemical surveying. The most significant results of Dr. Karvinen's basal till geochemical exploration was the location of samples "anomalous" in gold on claims P854458 and P854461 (see Appendix "C" for basal till drilling particulars). Dr. Karvinen indicated that these values are representative of a "broad, consistent gold anomaly", whose bedrock source is up-ice, probably in the next claims to the north. 7

4. CONCLUSIONS
A qualified geological interpretation of the structural- genetic features of the subject property, focusing primarily on the porphyrytic complex located in the Asian Claim Group indicates that the ground is a "prime target for exploration for gold and base metals."In light of the gold located through the exploration and development of the Glory Claim Group at the periphery Of the magentic high, similar magnetic zones on the pro perty, and in particular anomaly "C" (see Appendix "D"), are important as "potential gold mineralizartion tar gets".
Limited overburden drilling and basal till sampling has been successful in locating a "broad, constant gold anomaly" in the Asian Claim Group, the source of which may be associated with the large magnetic anomaly to the north. This conclusion, of course, is based on the actual demonstration of the relationship between gold mineralization and the magnetic high which is presently emerging through the exploration and development of the patented Glory Claim Group.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS
Concerning the initial phase of exploration for the Asian Claim Group Dr. J. L. Kirwan has recommended the following program:
1. Cut a detailed grid over the subject property,oriented along the northeast striking lines (@ 100 or 50 foot spacing) and perform:
a) detailed, high sensitivity magnetometer work; readings at 10 or 25 foot centres, contouring at 5 to 10 gammas.
b) geological mapping: This would define thealteration and serve to check out the structure.
c) rock sampling for geological studies: gold, arsenic, boron, and other pathfinder elements.
3. Perform electromagnetic work (combined Induced Polarization-Resistivity survey) to define the structure already located or suspected. Of special interest here are the areas near the periphery of the porphyry plug and over the magnetic highs.
4. Perform stripping of overburden and perform diamond drilling on targets located or interpreted from the previous work.

6.1 INTRODUCTION
In Sept. 1985, Asian Exploration/Development Ltd acquired 19 unpatented mining claims in Robb and Jamieson townships located about 25 miles northwest of Timmins, Ontario. Based on previous work and a general knowledge of the area, this property Is considered to hold good potential for the discovery of precious metals. The purpose of this report is to provide background information on the geologic setting, why the potential is considered to be high and an outline of how the ground can be best tested for its economic mineral potential.
6.2 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The most recent work on the property was a total field magnetometer survey in Dec. 1983 and a limited basal till sampling program in Nov. 1982. The work was done by Dr. W. 0. Karvinen and Associates Ltd. for the Glory Mining and Refining Ltd. who owned the ground at the time. Results of the magnetometer survey were used to gain some information on the bedrock geology, while the till survey indicated a patchy distribution of lodgement till, mainly in bedrock depressions. Gold analysis of the tills indicate some anomalous areas In one section of the cross-ice sampling line. Overburden depths along the line Indicated depths ranging from O to 50 feet with the average being 21 feet.
The property has been held by various companies and individuals in the past, but most of the exploration work has been directed towards locating base metal minerali zation. Assessment work has been submitted by six different owners on various parts of the property. These are Canadian Lenoourt (Allerston Option), r. Warne, W. Wilson. H. Lookett, and Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. Of these, the work by Canadian Lencourt and Fal conbridge has been most extensive. Their grids covered most of the Asian Group. Ground electromagnetic surveys were carried out on these grids and two diamond drill holes to test for conductors were completed. No significant mineralization was encountered.

_________________Supplement6.3 REGIONAL SETTING
The property is situated in the Kamiskotia volcanic complex which is noted for its base metal potential. It lies between the two main Cu-Zn producers in the area, the Kamiskotia Mine to the north and the Jamieson Mine to the south. Although numerous gold ooourenoes are known in the area, no oommerioal deposit has been found. The nearest gold deposits are at the large Porcupine Camp in Timmins where over 55 million ounces has been produced from oontinous mining dating back to 1910.
6.4 LOCAL GEOLOGY
The immediate area of the claims is underlain by Archean tholeitic volcanics with minor komatites and andesites which may correlate with the gold-bearing komatites of the Lower Tisdale Group in Timmins. These are intruded by gabbroic rooks as well as by high-level, quartz-feldspar porphyries. Immediately to the south and west of the property are thick sequences of oalo- alkaline felsic volcanics. The rook has been metamor phosed under greenschist conditions and show evidence of penetrative deformation.
The property covers a bedrock topographic high which is exposed in some large outcrop areas, but on the whole is covered by a blanket of glaciofluvial sediments and till. Because of its location in the Kamiskotia delta complex, it is quite probable that significant amounts of pre-existing tills were eroded by melt waters. This is evident from the preliminary till survey which indi-* oated about 22Jt of the 78 holes drilled to have good till. Till is expected to be protected in the lees of bedrock highs and in some bedrock depressions.
6.5 MINERALIZATION
Alterations (sericite, carbonate, silica) generally ac companying hydro-thermal gold mineralization are most evident in and along the contact zones of the epizonal felisic porphyries. The closest known mineralization of this type is located about 1/2 mile to the south of the property near the same prophyry body which underlies a large portion of the Asian Claim. On the property, two sulfide showing are illustrated on government maps.
The quartz-feldspar porphyry, which measures at least one mile long on the property is considered to have the best potential for gold mineralization. It is interesting to note that the amonalous gold values obtained in the till survey ooour Just south of the north contact of the prophyry. But because the property

is extensively covered with glacial sediments, it is important that surveys in the first phase cover the entire claim block.
6.6 CONCLUSIONS
The regional and local geological settings indicate a favourable environment for economic gold minerali zation to occur on the property.
6.7 RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that a first phase exploration program as outlined in the next section be carried out to better define targets for detailed follow-up.
6.7/1 Proposed Exploration Program
The first phase of work should incorporate the following activities: up-grading of the existing grid; seismic and till surveys; geologic mapping and interpretation; computer integration of mag netic, seismic, geochemical and geological data; conclusions and recommendations.
a) Grid; The existing grid with stations 400'x 100' requires upgrading as well as surveying of base and tie lines to establish its exact shape and location with respect to survey benchmarks.
b) Seismic: Shallow hammer seismic profiles are required on the grid to map out bedrock topography. This is necessary for locating till sample sites as well as interpreting future geophysical surveys (ie. I.P.) and geochemical results.
c) Till Survey; Gold analysis of the -250 mesh fractions of locally-derived basal till will esta blish the anomalous areas worthy of further explo ration. Sample density need not be more than one site per 2500 sq. feet.
d) Bedrock Mapping: Mapping of the major rock types, and particularly alterations related to mineralization will greatly assist in defining potential targets. At the same time, boulders in till will be examined.

I e) Integration by Computer of the above Surveys i The computer integration of data using SCAB'S * Geosim program will bring together and evaluate all the results of the previous magnetic data as well as the results of Phase I work.
f) Results: At the conclusion of Phase I, the areas having the best potential for the discovery of economic mineralization will be identified in order of priority. These targets will be substantially smaller than the existing property area and will be centres of concentrated follow-up testing methods.
The activities and participants are summarized in Table 6.7/2. T W. 0. Karvinen and Associates Ltd. will have the overall responsibility of co-ordinating and managing the various technical components of the project.

Interpretation Drawing,
BASAL TILL DRILLING TBasal Till Drilling is a relatively inexpensive method of locating orebodies by testing the soil for metal particles (precious and/or base) which have been disseminated by the glacier's scraping the tops of ancient volcanic vents and depositing this 'dust 1 in glacial till down-ice from the source. In areas down-ice from the existing gold mines in the Timmins area, the gold dust read ings run between 10 and 20 parts per billion (PPB). Results on the ASLAN CLAIM GROUP show various readings up to 60 PPB. This is a good indicator of a very strong source of gold on the ASLAN property.
