INTRODUCTION
This report presents and summarizes the results of a 4 day prospecting work
program, completed during the period of July 27th to 30th, 2010, on the Long Lake
property in Abrey Township (Figure 1) of the Thunder Bay Mining District. David
Hutchinson of Thunder Bay and Matthew Cowan of Toronto, completed the field
work with supervision by Andrew Tims of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The Long Lake property is located in the McBean Lake area, approximately 20
kilometre's east of Geraldton, 8 kilometres south of Longlac, in the Thunder Bay
Mining Division, NTS sheet 42E/10. (Fig. 1). Access for prospecting was by ATV
from an abandoned sand/ gravel pit 25 km south of the town of Long Lac on the
haulage road to Terrace Bay.
CLAIMS AND OWNERSHIP
The Long Lake property consists of 4 contiguous staked claims, comprising
approximately 736 hectares (Figure 2). A list of the claims is found in Table 1

REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Geraldton Gold camp is underlain by the east-southeast striking sediment
volcanic Barton Bay synclinorium. The sediments are comprised of Precambrian
turbidite assemblages with interbeds of banded iron formation and lesser mafic
volcaniclastic rocks of the Southern Sedimentary unit (Kresz & Zayachivsky, 1991).
Semi-conformable sills of diorite/ gabbro, including quartz and quartz-feldspar
porphyry intrude these formations. The sediments/volcanics and intrusives have
been deformed into tight large and small-scale isoclinal folds. Later intrafold and
drag folds have been superimposed on these structures. To the north, the
synclinorium is bound by a sequence of mafic volcanic flows and to the south by a
major east-southeast tectonic structure known as the Barton Bay deformation zone
(BBDZ). See Fig 3.

Several major longitudinal faults trend east-southeast, roughly parallel the axial
planes of the fold structures. These faults have been offset by the southwest trending
Long Lake fault producing a horizontal offset of 1 kilometre and a significant
displacement in the vertical sense. Rocks to the east of this fault are from a deeper
crustal level with a metamorphic grade of upper greenschist to amphibolite.
Lithologies west of Long Lake are of greenschist facies (Kresz & Zayachivsky, 1991).
Many of the gold deposits in the Geraldton camp are thought to be spatially related
to the low angle splays off of the BBDZ (Bankfield-Tombill fault), as the majority of
the gold production occurs in rocks directly north of this major tectonic structure.
Gold mineralization occurs in several environments but the two most prolific, based
on historical production (Pye, 1951 ), are the porphyry/ sediment contacts and
quartz-ankerite veins within or adjacent to highly folded sections of iron formation.
Between 1934 and 1968, the Geraldton camp produced approximately 2.9 million
ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.17 ozfton from eleven, moderate to high
grade underground operations. Production statistics for the Geraldton camp are
listed in Table 2.

WORK PROGRAM SUMMARY
Will Roberts of Thunder Bay spent one day, May 1st, 2010, blazing, flagging and
clearing the boundary for claim 3015317.
D. Hutchinson assisted by M. Cowan completed series of tight criss-crossing
traverse traverses prospecting for gold mineralization between drill hole SK97-04
and SK97-11 north of McBean Creek covering a total of 11.5line kilometres (see Map
1 ). Daily work log is as follows;
DAILY LOG
July 26 Travel to Longlac Ontario from Thunder Bay, Ontario, checked access to
the property via A TV trail;
July 27 Looked for the eastern north-south claim boundary. Unsuccessful.
Completed a traverse parallel to the southern boundary of claim 4252407.
No outcrop located. Mature spruce and poplar stand, easy traverse.
Located the number 3 witness post and number 2 post on return leg of
traverse;
July 28 Returned to previous day traverse and followed a low topographic rise
locating an outcrop of biotite wacke, sample 130215 taken. continued
north till swampy terrain about McBean Creek encountered. Located
claim eastern boundary and followed it south to number 2 post. Late
afternoon thunder shower, traverse ended;
July 29 Continued previous days westward traverse too McBean Lake. Two
outcrops of wacke were uncovered, samples 130216 and 130217 till half
way to McBean Lake. No outcrop encountered in return traverse;
July 30 Traversed the northern boundary of claim 4252407 parallel to a spruce
swamp bordering McBean Lake. One outcrop mafic tuff and diabase dyke
was stripped and sample 130218 collected;

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
An isolated 4 em wide quartz vein produced a gold assay of 540 ppb from an area
that was considered low priority. The McBean Gold Zone is located 510 m to the
north along a sediment-volcanic contact. This new anomalous assay may represent
a parallel zone within the southern sedimentary package.
Given the new showing lose proximity to the A T\T trail the new gold occurrence is
an excellent target for trenching. A budget of $61,375 is proposed below.
