1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Meston Lake gold prospect is located in northwestern Ontario approximately 60 kilometres north-northeast of the First Nations community of Sachigo Lake. A helicopter supported reconnaissance evaluation program consisting of geological mapping and sampling was undertaken on the property during September 2010.

1.1 Location, Access and Physiography

The Meston Lake property is centred at latitude 54° 16'N and longitude 91° 45'W (NTS mapsheet 53 J/4) within the Red Lake Mining District of northwestern Ontario. Owing to the absence of aircraft accessible lakes in the immediate area, the prospect is best accessed by helicopter from the First Nations community of Sachjgo Lake, located approximately 60 km to the south-southwest (Figure 1 ).

Sachigo Lake has no year-round road access and is accessible only by air. The community is serviced by a 3500' gravel airstrip with daily air service to Sioux Lookout, Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. During the winter months, the community receives the majority of heavy freight, diesel oil and non-perishable foodstuffs via a winter road which originates in Pickle Lake.

Sachigo Lake is a member of the Windigo First Nations Council and Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Approximately 450 persons reside in the community which features a nursing station, schools and stores for provisioning.

Lodging and accommodation during the field evaluation were provided by the Sachigo Lake First Nation from its Echoing Lake Lodge which is located at the south end of Echoing Lake approximately 35 km west of the Meston Lake property (Figure 1).

The topography of the Meston Lake area is similar to other glaciated portions of the Canadian Shield wherein low rolling hills are frequently interspersed with numerous lakes and swamps. The topography and regional drainage of the area is extremely subdued and slopes gently towards the north. The regional drainage is northward through the Stull, Echoing and Sachigo rivers which merge with the Gods and Severn rivers flowing into Hudson Bay.

Outcrop exposure throughout the Meston Lake area is seen to be very sparse (5-1 0%) and is largely limited to the shores of larger lakes. Till cover and glaciolacustrine clays are extensive across the project area, with large tracts covered by mature stands of pine, spruce, poplar and birch typical of that of a coniferous boreal forest. Cedar, alder and tamarack predominate in more swampy areas. Evidence of recurring forest fires is plainly seen everywhere, with most of the work area having been exposed to intense burning within the last eight to ten years.

The climate of northwestern Ontario is classified as a cold temperate continental climate. On average, Sachigo Lake receives only 145 frost free days each year. The warmest month is July with an avere~ge daily temperature of 16.2°C. The coldest month is January with an average daily temperature of -23. 7°C. On average, Sachigo Lake receives 609 mm of precipitation each year, 37% of which is received as snowfall. Snow begins to accumulate in the area during October each year and generally persists into April. Lakes in the work area are generally frozen over between December and May.

2.0 GEOLOGY

2.1 Previous Mapping

In 1936, V.B. Meen, J. Satterly and D.L. Downie working variously for the Ontario Department of Mines and Geological Survey of Canada completed the first reconnaissance scale (1 "=2 mile) geological mapping in the region in an easterly arc extending from Stull Lake to the Sachigo River, and as far south as Sachigo Lake. The area was revisited in the late 1960's as part of the Ontario Department of Mines Operation Lingman Lake (Bennett and Riley, 1969) when a 20,000 square mile area of northwestern Ontario was mapped at a scale of I inch to 2 miles.

More recently, the Meston Lake area has been the focus of a collaborative mapping project undertaken by the Ontario Geological Survey, Manitoba Geological Survey and Geological Survey of Canada (Stone eta!., 2001; Skulski eta/., 2000; Davis and Stott, 2001 ). From 1995-2001, the joint federal-provincial NATMAP initiative conducted regional geological mapping concurrent with sampling and analysis of material for lithogeochemistry, thermobarometry and isotopic and geochronological studies over a 12,000 km2 area across the northern Superior Province. The bedrock mapping was focused primarily within a 120 km long, north-south transect across a series of east­southeast trending greenstone belts interspersed with plutonic areas and major faults which rim of the Superior Province.

2.2 Regional Geology

The Meston Lake property is located within the Sachigo Subprovince of the Archean Superior Province. As seen in Figure 3, the Sachigo Subprovince is comprised of the North Caribou terrane and Northern Superior superterrane along with intervening

accreted Munroe Lake and Oxford Lake - Stull Lake terranes. To the south, the subprovince is bounded by the Berens River and Uchi subprovinces which comprise felsic plutonic and greenstone dominated terranes respectively (Skulski eta/., 2000). To the northwest, the Sachigo Subprovince terminates against the Pikwitonei granulite terrane which is transitional to the early Proterozoic Trans-Hudson Orogeny. To the north and east, the Sachigo terrrane is overlain by Paleozoic platform strata of the Hudson Bay Lowlands (Figure 3).

In northern Ontario and Manitoba, the Sachigo Subprovince is transected by the Stuii­Wunnumin Fault Zone (SWFZ), a northwest trending transcrustal megafault (Stott, 1990) which extends for over 600 km from north of Lansdowne House, Ontario to Oxford Lake, Manitoba. In regional airborne magnetic coverage, the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault is characterized by a linear magnetic low that closely follows the margins of a successive series of greenstone belts, including the Bartman-Lavoie, Peeagwon, Wunnumin, Big Trout, Swan Lake, Stull Lake and God's Lake belts. The linear magnetic fabrics of the greenstone belts are seen to curve clockwise into parallelism with the main break on the northeast side of the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault, indicating dextral movement (Osmani eta/., 1989). Aeromagnetic interpretation and outcrop mapping indicate that the SWFZ comprises a 2-5 kilometre wide strike-slip duplex containing numerous splays and fault bounded panels. In general, the SWFZ is the core of an anastomosing network of faults and shear zones of variable dimensions and orientations.

2.3 Meston Lake Property Geology

Sparse outcrop in the Meston Lake property area indicates the area is primarily underlain by diorite to gabbro and variably foliated granodiorite (Figure 4). Foliation within the granodiorite strikes east-west, dips vertically, and is most intense within the Meston Lake Showing area and near the contact with diorite to gabbro intrusions.

2.4 Quaternary Geology

Although Northwestern Ontario was covered by several ice sheets throughout the Pleistocene, almost all of the features in the present day landscape were formed during the late Wisconsin glaciation. During this period, ice flow was directed from two lobes of the Keewatin Ice Divide centred in Nunavut which consisted of an older eastern lobe, and a younger western lobe separated by the Sachigo interlobate moraine which forms a prominent north-trending topographic feature in the present day landscape east of Stull Lake (Figure 5).

East of the Sachigo interlobate moraine, the predominant direction of glacial striae is southwesterly. Drumlins and drumlinoid ridges between Whithers Lake and Misikeyask Lake and in the Muskrat Dam area commonly trend between 220oand 230°, parallel to the glacial striae. Both Tyrrell (1913) and Hudec (1964) mapped striae near Big Trout Lake that indicate an earlier direction of ice movement from southeast to northwest. Similarly trending striae are also found near Muskrat Dam Lake, but the direction of ice movement could not be determined (Ayres, 1966).

Eskers which form relatively continuous ridges of sand and gravel throughout the Meston Lake area are generally less than 15 m high. The distribution of eskers is in the region is shown in Figure 5. The convergence of several eskers indicates that the subglacial streams generally flowed toward the southwest. The general lack of eskers

west of Sakwaso Lake and south of the Opasquia end moraine reflects the destruction of eskers by wave action in a post glacial lake.

Thick deposits of varved clay and wave modified eskers in the Meston Lake area indicate a relatively long-lived glacial lake occupied the region during the final retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet during the Wisconsinan. Ayres (1966) located the eastern edge of a major glacial lake near the Windigo River, and notes that the elevation of beach deposits on the Opasquia and Sachigo moraines infer that the lake must have been at least 60 m deep during one of its stages. Satterly (1937, 1938) mapped varved clays on either side of the Sachigo interlobate moraine and was able to show by correlation that contemporaneous glacial lakes, which he named Glacial Lakes Ponask and Sachigo, existed on either side of the moraine. Varved clay deposits on Kistigan and Rourke lakes indicate these pro-glacial lakes likely extended as far north as the Ontario-Manitoba boundary, whereas Elson (1967) concluded that Glacial Lake Sachigo may have been separated from the main body of Lake Agassiz when the water level dropped below the elevation of the divide at the west end of the Cobham River watershed. Following the breakup of the Laurentide ice sheet in Hudson Bay, ca. 7500-8000 yrs BP, the northern end of Glacial Lake Sachigo was opened and the lake drained in a series of stages through the Echoing and Sachigo rivers north into Hudson Bay.

3.0 ECONOMIC GEOLOGY

Past exploration in northeastern Ontario and northwestern Manitoba has discovered gold mineralization at several locations along the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault, most notably in the Stull Lake, Rowlandson Lake and God's Lake areas, as well as in splays and regional subparallel faults of the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault Zone which include the North Caribou­Tatogan Lake Fault in Ontario (Musselwhite gold mine); the Savage Island shear zone at Island Lake, Manitoba (High Rock Island and Island Lake gold mines); as well as the Lingman Lake shear zone (Lingman Lake gold mine) and the South Kenyon fault (Sachigo River gold mine) in Manitoba.

Because of its relatively remote location and intermittent bedrock exposures, the Stuii­Wunnumin Fault has received very little prospecting and exploration compared to similar sized structures in the Abitibi belt where gold was discovered in 1907, and production has been continuous since 1910.

The Sachigo River Mine in the adjacent Ellard Lake Greenstone Belt represents the only past producing mine in the greater Meston Lake area, having produced 1 ,635 kg of gold at an average grade of 38 g/t Au from a narrow, high-grade vein between 1938 and 1941. During its lifetime the Sachigo River Mine was the highest grade gold producer in Canada (Stone eta/., 2000b). The current ownership and exploration status of the mine property is unclear.

The Sachigo River deposit is hosted by mafic metavolcanic rocks cut by diorite and porphyry dykes. The No. 2 vein, located north of Foster Lake comprises a series of quartz-sulphide veins localized along the contact of a quartz-feldspar porphyry. Overall the zone strikes west (280°) and dips steeply north with an average width of 0.9 m. Mineralization in the No. 2 vein has been traced by drilling for 160 metres along strike to a depth of 300 metres. High grade gold mineralization {>1 opt Au) occurs in blue-grey to glassy quartz veins containing pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena, chalcopyrite and native gold. Lower grade gold mineralization (0.51 to 1.0 opt Au) is associated with grey-white quartz

lenses hosting pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena and chalcopyrite across widths up to 2.1 m (Valliant, 1980).

4.0 PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS

Mineralization in the vicinity of the Meston Lake property includes the Meston Showing, a Mo-Au showing located in the Withers Lake Area (Stone eta/., 2000a, Map P3419). The showing is located on ground which was subsequently staked by Luc Landry. Ontario Geological Survey Map P3419 also identi"fies several drillhole collars targeting metasedimentary sequences south of Meston Lake. The results of the drilling are not indicated in any government assessment file data however.

The Meston Showing consists of a narrow (10 em wide) zone of molybdenum contained within a broader interval of widely spaced quartz veinlets and variably silicified granodiorite that is exposed in several outcrops across a 350 x 130 m area. In 2002, Aurora Platinum acquired one claim (208 ha) immediately east of the Meston Showing and completed reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting (7 samples) and helicopter supported till and heavy mineral sampling (14 samples) in the area.

The prospecting and sampling indicated quartz-sulphide veining in the showing area was characterized by elevated Au and Cu values and by locally elevated Mo concentrations. Grab samples of gabbro and diorite outside the showing were seen to contain low Cu, Ni and Pt values. The ground was subsequently allowed to lapse.

5.2 Fire Assay

Four grab samples collected during the evaluation of the Meston Lake property were submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratory (SRC) located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for gold determination by fire assay and multi-element ICP analysis. A description of the samples is shown in Appendix 1 (Sample Descriptions). The assay lab certificates of analysis are shown in Appendix 2.

Upon receipt at the SRC's facilities, samples are placed in a drying oven if necessary until dry. The entire sample is then crushed to approximately -10 mesh using a jaw crusher. A 500 g sample is then split off from the sample using a Jones riffle splitter. Sub-samples are then pulverized to 90% -15 mesh (105 microns) using a TM Engineering ring and puck pulverizer with 1 kg bowls. The bowls were cleaned with silica sand substitute between each sample to prevent cross-over contamination from one sample to the next. A one assay tonne fire assay is then undertaken on a representative 30 gram sample split from the -105 mesh fraction.

For flame AAS determination of gold, a preliminary concentration by fire assay was used by the SRC which consisted of a series of controlled steps involving weighing, fluxing, fusion and cupellation.

The basic procedure for fire assay involves mixing a 30 g aliquot of pulverized sample material with C02 (soda ash), borax, PbO, flour, nitrate and silica. To this mixture, Ag or Pd is added in solution as a collector. After mixing, the material is fired at a temperature of 1 ooooc for 1% hours. Upon firing, the Pb and Ag in the melt settle to the bottom of the crucible, scavenging gold from the melt. The hot molten mixture is then poured into a mould and upon cooling, the slag separates cleanly from the lead button which should be a certain weight. The button is then placed into a pretreated cupel with the lead absorbed by the cupel leaving a bead which has collected gold as well other platinum group elements. After the lead buttons are cupelled at 1 ooooc for 50 minutes, the gold is then separated from the collector by total dissolution using a nitric/hydrochloric acid digestion bulked up by a 1% La20 3-distilled water solution. The final determination for gold is then made using a Varian AA240 model atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS).

As an International Standards Organization (ISO 17001) and Canmet accredited facility, the Saskatchewan Research Councils laboratory reports are produced using LIMS information management system which indicate all duplicate assays, internal control standards and blanks on the lab's certificate of analysis (Appendix 2). For each quality control standard, control charts are produced to monitor the performance of the laboratory. Warning lines on the chart are set at ±2 standard deviations, and control lines are set at ±3 standard deviations. Any data that falls between ±2 and ±3 standard deviations requires 10% of the samples in that particular batch to be reassayed and have their values compared with the results of previous data sets. Results will be accepted as long as the standards for each batch of samples fall below the standard deviation lines. Any data that falls outside the ±3 standard deviation lines will result in rejection of all the results and re­assay of the entire batch of samples .

5.3 Multi-Element ICP Analysis

Since most economic gold deposits in the Superior Province are characterized by relatively wide envelopes of intense hydrothermal alteration, a suite of ICP-MS analyses

(inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy) was undertaken on each of four samples collected during the Meston Lake evaluation in order to quantify the tenor of various pathfinder elements associated with gold mineralization in the region. The tabulated results of the ICP analyses are shown in Appendix 2.

ICP-MS is a widely accepted technique for the measurement of many trace elements to extremely low detection limits. The Saskatchewan Research Council was contracted to perform the analyses on sample pulps which it had analyzed earlier for gold.

The ICP technique involves stripping loosely bound electrons from each element in a sample by means of a high temperature inductively coupled plasma. The resulting ions are then separated on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio and a mass spectrometer receives a signal proportional to the ion concentration which is calibrated against a series of elemental standards.

ICP analysis requires a sample to be in solution. Initially, samples are pre-screened by ICP-AES to ensure that no elevated metal concentrations (defined as >1% of an individual base metal, or >3% cumulative metal content) are present in order to avoid cross contamination at a later stage during the mass spectrometer reading. Once routine quality control testing has confirmed that samples have met or exceeded specifications, the analytical procedure involves the dissolution of a 0.25 g aliquot of each sample in a hot perchloric-nitric-hydrofloric-hydrochloric digestion. This four acid digestion is among the most powerful acid dissolution procedures used, and all elements for determination are considered to be near total by this method. Following this analysis, the results are reviewed for high concentrations of bismuth, mercury, molybdenum, silver and tungsten and diluted accordingly. Samples meeting this criterion are then analyzed by a suite of 35 elements by ICP-MS.

6.0 RESULTS

6.1 Geological Mapping - Meston Lake Property

Sparse outcrop on the Meston Lake property in conjunction with existing airborne magnetic data indicate the area is primarily underlain by an intrusive suite of diorite to gabbro and variably foliated megacrystic granite, granodiorite and rare tonalite. Foliation within the granodiorite strikes east-west, dips vertically, and is most strongly developed within the Meston Lake Showing area and in areas adjacent to the contact with diorite and gabbro intrusions.

Map 1 further indicates the location of rocks and samples collected during the property evaluation. Appendix 1 provides field notes for each location indicated in Map 1.

Intrusive rocks on the Meston Lake property are interpreted to be younger than the host volcanic strata exposed southeast of Meston Lake and northeast of Blackbear Lake. In regional airborne magnetic surveys, the volcanics are seen to form a subparallel series of sinuous volcanic and sedimentary rocks within the Black Bear Greenstone Belt. Mapping undertaken during the period (Map 1) further indicates the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault which demarcates the southern contact of the Meston Lake property is characterized by numerous high strain zones, typified by the development of schistose

and gneissic fabrics. Foliations within exposed portions of the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault on the property strike north to northwest with subvertical dips. Local changes in the orientation of the foliation are likely the result of deflection around more competent intrusions.

The metamorphic grade within the belt is middle amphibolite facies based on the assemblage of amphibolite-garnet. Adjacent to the SWFZ a retrograde assemblage of chlorite+feldspar+quartz+carbonate is seen to be developed.

6.2 Prospecting - Meston Lake Property

Mineralization in the Meston Lake property area includes the Meston Lake Showing, a Mo-Au showing located on the Withers Lake mapsheet (OGS map P3419), approximately seven kilometres south of Meston Lake. Re-sampling of a silicified and potassic (biotite) altered, sheared interval of granodiorite hosting trace quantities of fine grained pyrite in the vicinity of the showing (sample R-201 03) returned background gold levels (17 ppb Au, Appendix 2). Three additional samples of sheared diorite and granodiorite elsewhere on the property (samples R-20101, 20102, 20104) returned similarly low gold values (28, 10 and 5 ppb Au , respectively) . ICP analyses of the samples failed to identify any trace element pathfinders normally associated with hydrothermal gold deposits, save for elevated CaO content in one sample (R-201 02: 2.18 wt% CaO- mean of data set: 1.47% CaO, Appendix 2).

Table 3 provides a basic statistical summary for the ICP and gold analyses undertaken on the Meston Lake samples.

7.0 CONCULSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The significance of major crustal breaks as first order controls on Archean gold mineralization is well documented (e.g. Bursnall, 1989). In the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of northeastern Ontario and Quebec, gold deposits occur in two distinct linear trends which broadly coincide with the Kirkland Lake/Larder Lake/Cadillac and Destor-Porcupine Faults (Figure 6). These "structural breaks" control the distribution of gold camps at a regional scale that host world-class gold deposits such as the Hollinger-Mclntyre (31.4 M oz Au) and Kirkland Lake (21.4 M oz Au) mines, the 15th and 21st largest gold deposits in the world (Sillitoe, 2000). Within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, gold deposits are irregularly distributed in clusters along the main breaks, in a diverse number of host rocks and geological settings. Deposits may be located in either proximal or distal settings with respect to the main break, but are always found on secondary or tertiary splays, not the main fault (Valliant and Hutchinson, 1982). For example, in the Porcupine camp, the Dome and nearby deposits are located on secondary splays 400-1,400 metres from the Destor-Porcupine Fault, whereas the Mclntyre-Hollinger Mine and associated deposits are located about 5 kilometres off the main break on subparallel faults. The majority of gold deposits in all of the Abitibi camps occur within a 5 kilometre buffer on either side of the main fault.

A comparison of the size of regional structures in these prolific gold camps versus the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault which bounds the southern margin of the Meston Lake property, indicates, the SWF is almost twice the length of the Abitibi "breaks". Although known gold resources developed to date along the Stull Wunnumin Fault are trivial in comparison to the Abitibi and Red Lake camps, this may be due to historical and geographical rather than geological factors. The primary differences affecting the rate of discovery in the two regions is the relative remoteness of this portion of northwestern Ontario, and consequently, the significantly lower level of historical prospecting and exploration activity. Given the high potential for the discovery of world-class gold deposits along regional faults in Archean terranes, the challenge is to identify

prospective geological settings where this potential is enhanced in the Meston Lake area.

7.1 Recommendations

Given the sparse occurrence of outcrop across Northern Superior Resource's claims in the Meston Lake area, further exploration will by necessity have to rely upon geophysics, geochemistry, and geological interpretation.

Taking advantage of recent advances in relatively low cost, high resolution airborne survey data, a time domain electromagnetic survey combined with a high sensitivity magnetometer survey is recommended to be completed on the property. The main purpose of the surveys will be: to acquire information with respect to the litho-structural framework on the basis of bedrock magnetic responses, and to identify potential areas of precious and base metal mineralization on the basis of bedrock conductive and magnetic responses.

Among some of the considerations for the proposed airborne survey are: northeast/southwest directed flight lines oriented perpendicular to the trend of the regional geological fabric imposed by the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault, and a 125-150 m survey line spacing with an EM bird terrain clearance of approximately 30 metres.

From the survey data, EIVI anomalies can be evaluated and graded according to the interpreted conductance (conductivity-thickness) based on a vertical thin sheet model response to a mid-frequency coaxial coil configuration. Thereafter, it is recommended that multi-element soil geochemistry survey accompanied by prospecting, sampling and geological mapping be undertaken in area characterized by EM anomalies. The Stull Wunnumin Fault which runs subparallel to the southern margin of the Meston Lake claims presents a strong candidate for additional follow-up investigations.

8.0 PERSONNEL

A total of 15 mandays of work by various contractors was required during the evaluation of Meston Lake property during September 2010. A detailed manday distribution by activity for the period is listed in Appendix 3.
