IntroductionAllstone Quarry Products Inc. believes there is a market for natural stone products in Ontario's landscaping industry. This phase of exploration is intended to evaluate the extent and nature of near surface material within the claim.

PurposeThe stripping was carried out in order to identify the nature and extent of the bedrock. Specifically to identify material that could be used in decorative landscaping. Three qualities are of prime concern. Those are the natural fracture (ie. block size), the color/texture and resistance to weathering. To be marketable and economic, the rock would have to fracture naturally into usable block sizes, without blasting. A natural face is desirable for landscaping. Size can range widely for specific projects but the bulk of the material must be from a minimum of l meter by l meter by 8 centimeters thick, to 2 metes by 2 meters by 0.5 meters thick. Minor variation in color is acceptable, sometimes even desirable but discoloration due to rust or other staining is not. The rock must also be competent under severe weather conditions. The material is targeted for outdoor use, sometimes under water, so behavior when subject to frost can be critical. To summarize, the purpose is to determine if this location host economic quantities of bedrock suitable for ornamental landscaping purposes.

Property DescriptionThe property consists of a single block (16 unit) claim located in lots 7 and 8, Concession III of Bigwood Township. The claims is registered (lOO^o) to Allstone Quarry Products Limited.

Location and AccessThe claim is located in Lots 7 and 8 of Concession III of Bigwood Township. It is on the west side of Hwy. #69 approximately 75 kilometers south of Sudbury and North of the French River. See figure #1 - location map.

Previous workThe claim was stripped and trenched in selected areas as reported by Allstone in 1995.

Regional Geology.The area is located within the Greenville Geologic Province. The bedrock is typically genissic being composed of metamorphosed sediments and quartz monzonites to syenites, subsequently injected by diabase dykes.

Local GeologyBedrock consists of gneissic granites composed principally of feldspars, quartz, with minor micas (mainly biotite) and almandine garnet. The area has a dominate foliation at approximately 330 degrees, as indicated by local shearing and topography. Topography is rolling with minor relief. Generally the bedrock is a quartz rich gneissic granite, light in color and foliated at 3300 . There may be parting parallel to the foliation but typiocally the bedrock is massive and laminated. The color, mineral content, pattern and fracturing change from outcrop to outcrop, but have a generally light white to pink to gray

appearance. Within the township, there are occurrences of corundum, allanite and graphite.

ObservationsThe bulk of the area stripped shows a massive laminated light colored genissic granite.

In order to be marketable, the material must have at least two natural faces. Therefore only selective areas of the claim, where rock can be extracted as large specimens without blasting, are suitable for landscape materials. The most favorable location is in a zone trending at about 330 degrees, 100 meters to 400 meters wide, parallel to and situate between Hwy. #69 and the quarry road. A less prominent zone runs along side the quarry road at the south end. Favorable jointing is focused to roughly the center of the area stripped as indicated on the attached sketch. To the south end the surface dips below thicker overburden which has yet to be excavated. To the west the topography dips into a low swampy ground. To the north the bedrock generally becomes more massive and locally contains pyrite.

This central zone exhibits jointing from 10 to 100 cm. of varying lengths and widths. Jointing dips approximately 85 degrees to the south east. The jointing strikes at 330 degrees. In some rare locations a horizontal jointing is also present. Composition varies from feldspar- quartz, biotite gneiss to a quartz rich granite gneiss. The color ranges from a white to pink to gray, with black, pink and red highlights. Pyrite can be present. Location and extent of rust staining due to pyrite is unpredictable. Minor amounts (even less than Wo pyrite) can make the material useless. Further, rust contaminated overburden can color the bedrock along the surface or joints, making it unattractive.

Rust staining is most obvious at the northern portion of the stripped area, approximately 200 meters west of the quarry entrance. This location exhibits favorable jointing but the rust staining makes unmarketable. Rust staining can occur in small patches throughout the area with a slight preference towards the western edge of the striped area. There is also a tendency for it to be associated with higher concentrations of biotite. Where pyrite exceeds Wo the rock sometimes becomes friable and in extreme cases crumbles to the touch. Even less than Wo pyrite causes sufficient staking to make it unsuitable for production purposes.

Horizontal jointing is favorable to the creation of blocks of desirable size. This jointing however, is not predictable and not detectable from surface. Rarely, a third jointing, perpendicular to the regional foliation is present. This latter structural feature is limited in extent over less than one meter and parting is on a scale of l to 10 centimeters.

There were no assays taken.

ResultsThe striping revealed that suitable material is limited. The few sites identified as favorable are limited in extent and widely separated. These pits indicated on the attached

Page 5: ASSESSMENT WORK RPT STRIPPING & TRENCHING€¦ · Allstone Quarry Products Inc. believes there is a market for natural stone products in Ontario's landscaping industry. This phase

sketch. Even those areas with favorable jointing have substantial waste, mainly due to block size and discoloration.

The color of the material varies from white to pink to gray. It is a predominately gneissic, massive laminated granite. Though the basic color is acceptable, certain locations exhibit unacceptable rust staining.

The areas of massive laminated granite would require blasting to extract and reduce to an acceptable size. This would make it unsuitable as landscaping material. Even though it is laminated, it does not split or cut well. Despite the massive nature of the bedrock, it is not so massive as to make it suitable for building stone production. Repeated attempts to cut large blocks into slabs, resulted rejection by the cutting plant. Typically the material is very competent, resistant to weather and even to mechanical splitting. Only a narrow zone near the center of the stripping shows suitable jointing. Even in this zone, suitable sites are limited in extent as rust may be present and block size varies widely.

Over all the stripping reveals only limited potential for quality, economic landscaping material.

RecommendationsThe most favorable zone is located at the eastern side of the claim between Hwy. #69 and the quarry road. It may extend beyond the stripped area to the south east on the far side of the small draw. This area could be stripped next to see how far the zone extends. Consideration should also be given to northern extensions. This would require staking of additional claims.

The prominent ridges are typically made up of massive gneiss, the more sheared material weathers recessively. The thicker overburden will take more effort to strip but these more recessive areas may contain better material. A test pit to the west of the current areas could be stripped to determine if the jointing is present in suitable dimensions.

The presence of horizontal jointing below surface remains a question. There are no apparent controls that may be used to predict its presence. This knowledge is desirable as it may provide suitable product. Diamond drilling could be used to locate areas of sub- cropping horizontal jointing, however, the expense of doing so would be prohibitive. Drilling should only be considered if the value of the material warrants.

Introduction ^~- Allstone Quarry Products Inc. believes there is a market for natural stone products in Ontario's landscaping industry. This phase of exploration is intended to evaluate the extent and nature of at or near surface material within the .

The purpose of stripping this location is to determine the nature of the bedrock and its usability in landscaping products. This required determining the nature of the color, pattern, and block size. In other words, does it have potential for ornamental stone products in landscaping?

Property DescriptionThe property consists of a single block (16 unit) claim located in lots 7 and 8, Concession III of Bigwood Township. The claims is registered (l00*^6) to AHstone Quarry Products Limited.

Location and AccessThe claim is located in Lots 7 and 8 of Concession III of Bigwood Township. It is on the west side of Hwy. #69 approximately 75 kilometers south of Sudbury and North of the French River. See figure #1 - location map.

Previous workThe claim was stripped in trenched in limited in selected areas as reported by AHstone in 1995. Those areas are indicated as red circles on the attached sketch.

Regional Geology.The area is located within the Greenville Geologic Province. The bedrock is typically genissic being composed of metamorphosed sediments and quartz monzonites to syenites, subsequently injected by diabase dykes.

Local GeologyBedrock in the claim consists of gneissic granites composed principally of feldspars, quartz, biotite micas and almandine garnets. The area has a dominate jointing at approximately 330 degrees, as indicated by local shearing and topography. Topography is rolling with minor relief. The bedrock is well foliated,. Generally the bedrock is a quartz rich gneissic granite, light in color and foliated in the direction of the shearing. The color, mineral content, pattern and fracturing change from outcrop to outcrop, but have a generally light white to pink to gray appearance. Within the township, there are occurrences of corundum, allanite and graphite.

ObservationsIn order to be marketable, the material must normally have a natural surface, not drilled and blasted. Therefore only selective areas of the claim, where rock can be extracted as large specimens without blasting, are suitable for landscape materials. The most favorable location is in a zone trending at about 330 degrees, 100 meters by 400 meters parallel to and situate between Hwy. #69 and the quarry road. Roughly the center of the area stripped as indicated on the attached sketch. (See area A" in figure 2.) To the south end the surface dips below thicker overburden which has yet to be excavated. To the west the topography dips into a low swampy ground. To the north the bedrock generally becomes more massive and locally contains pyrite There is a central area which exhibits jointing from 10 to 100 cm. of varying lengths and widths. Jointing dips approximately 85 degrees to the south east. In some locations a horizontal jointing is also present. The jointing is oriented at 330 degrees and horizontally. Composition varies from a feldspar biotite gneiss to a quartz rich granite gneiss. The color ranges from a white to pink to gray, with black, pink and red highlights. Pyrite can be present in this zone but location and

extent seem to be unpredictable. Minor amounts (even less than Wo pyrite) can make the material useless. Further, rust contaminated overburden can color the bedrock making it unattractive for the above stated purposes.

In other locations the bedrock is massive or rusty as indicated on the attached sketch. The rusty appearance is due to minor pyrite. Rust is most obvious at the northern portion of the stripping about (location "C") 200 meters west of the quarry entrance. Though this location exhibits a favorable jointing but me rust staining makes it waste. There is a tendency for the rest to be located at the western boundary of the sheared zone, but it can occur in small patches throughout the area. There is also a tendency for it to be associated with higher concentrations of biotite. When the pyrite exceeds Wo the rock becomes friable and in extreme cases crumbles to the touch. Even less than Wo pyrite makes it unsuitable for production purposes.

Bedrock generally becomes more massive towards the north and west of the quarry road. It may be the horizontal jointing is repeated at depth, but this has yet to be determined. It becomes more and more difficult to extract any material past a depth of 2 to 3 feet without blasting which could ruin the material.

With the exception of the rust staining, the color and patterns, though variable, are satisfactory for landscaping purposes.

RecommendationsThe most favorable zone is located at the eastern side of the claim between Hwy. #69 and the quarry road. It may extend beyond the stripped area to the south east on the far side of the small draw. This area could be stripped next to see how far the zone extends. Consideration should also be given to northern extensions of this zone on the far side of the massive material.

The prominent ridges are typically made up of massive gneiss, and the more sheared material weathers recessively. The thicker overburden will take more effort to strip but these more recessive areas may contain better material.. A test pit to the west of the current areas could be stripped to determine if the jointing is present in suitable dimensions.

The presence of horizontal jointing below surface remains a question. There are no apparent controls that may be used to predict its location or even if it might be repeated. This knowledge is desirable as it may provide suitable product. Diamond drilling could be used to locate areas of sub-cropping horizontal jointing. However, the expense of doing so would be prohibitive. Drilling should only be considered if the value of the quarry stone warrants.

The 45 days outlined in the Notice dated November 14, 2000 have passed and the new information that has been provided has been reviewed.

Although the items in the 45 day notice have been addressed, several items remain poorly clarified in the breakdown of exploration expenditures including time and field work. The costs, S48,000 for 480 hours of excavator work and S31,200 for 480 hours of front-end loader work, are "all-inclusive charges" and suggest that these pieces of equipment were used continuously for 60 days (8 hours a day, every day) with only 6 days off and no down time. The use of the front-end loader for a stripping program remains unclear. The "equipment with operator" costs include items listed such as chainsaws (purchase of non-consumable items?) and travel time to and from the quarry (hourly wages for travel are not eligible expenditures). In addition, a portion of the stripping was completed outside the claim but within the aggregate permit; this work is not eligible for assessment credits (approximately 50Xo of the work).

The map does not provide much detail given that over 8100,000 of stripping has been completed. As this work was completed on an aggregate permit, it is important to clearly differentiate exploration work from quarry operations (block removal, etc.).

Assessment work credit has been approved as outlined on the attached Distribution of Assessment Work Credit sheet.

The assessment credit is being reduced by 3007o. The TOTAL VALUE of assessment credit that will be allowed, based on the information provided in this submission, is S71,680.

At the discretion of the Ministry, the assessment work performed on the mining lands noted in this work report may be subject to inspection and/or investigation at any time.
