introduction1447136 Ontario Inc. have done an assessment of the limestone

located on Lot 32 of Concession 17 for the purpose of evaluating the potential for a Limestone Quarry for purposes of extraction of dimensional stone for landscaping purposes. 1447136 Ontario Inc. are the holders of this claim and have no fidiciary duties with J.C. Archibald or related parties with exception of payment of cosultant fees and assessment work done directly on this claim.

The stripping and trenching has been located on a 87.0 hectare area of Concession 17- west half of Lot 32 (claim 3002727 Harvey East Township. The stripping program took place from October 7, 2003 through December 31, 2003, and a total of S10,613.50 has been spent on this project as trenching, stripping, and mapping. The property has been staked in the name of John C. Archibald but held in trust for 1447136 Ontario Inc. through its solicitors, Moldaver A McFadden LLB of Peterborough, Ontario.

Exploration results have confirmed that the limestone has potential for marketing. It is presently being reviewed by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Permitting reports on the adjoining areas state that there are no environmental, human habitation, archeological, animal species, or plant species which would not justify commencement of a quarry for limestone under the Aggregate Act of Ontario.

Presently underway, an exploration program consisting of diamond drilling will confirm both the water table , water flow, and thgickness of limestone units. Backhoe excavation and trenching work has indicated that the thickness of limestone in the area of the claim is a minimum of 5.0 meters thick and at least 38.0 meters in thickness. Preliminary studies show a water table averaging between between 5.0 and 12.0 meters in depth from surface.

The top 5.5 to 28.0+ metres of limestone belongs within the Gull River Limestone Formation. This overlies the Shadow Lake Limestone Formation. A Level 1 and Level 2 report on the area of extraction has

conduded that this operation would not adversely impact any flora-fauna- animal-fish-archaeological habitats.

Site Description and Surrounding Land Use Location-The property is located approximately 13.1 kilimeters north of

Bobcaygeon along County Road 49 and then some 3.0 kilometers along Bass Lane and Snowmobile route #1 OSwhich is along a Township controlled gravel road. The north boundary of the claim lies along the survey line between Galway Township to the north and Harvey East Township to the south. There are no buildings on the claim but there are some hunting cabins in close proximity which are permitted for two weeks of the year.

County Road 49 is an all-year paved highway (two-lane). Bass Lane is a one lane gravel road which has been widened for passing; specifically for the snowmobile and quarry traffic. From Lot 3 to the east and south the road is sand covered and will need to be gravel covered to permit heavy traffic.

Topography-The site is on the western slope of a limestone plateau having a high

ground surface elevation of 298 metres above sea level. The marsh area to the west of the claim is at 276 metres above sea level. The marsh drains northeast to Bass Lake (at 2.5 kilometers downstram) which is at an elevation of 258.5 metres above sea level. An intermittent stream runs through the marsh; a majority of the water from spring-fed seapage from the limestone units upstream. The direction of surface drainage is from east to west.

Vegetation-The area is of mixed forest composed of white pine, white birch, white

cedar, red oak, sugar maple, and white spruce.Overburden-The soils (topsoil and subsoil) are generall non-existant to 0.30

metres in depth, and are maily comprised of glacial sand-gravel and organics.

Page 9: Limestone Dimension-Stone Deposit for John C. Archibald ...

History of Area-In the late 1940's, marl was mined from a shallow lake environment

over a 2.0 kilometer by 1.0 kilometer area immediately southwest of the claim and within Harvey Township. Activity ceased in the early 1950's.

From 1975 to 1977, Bright (OGS) mapped Cavendish and Harvey Townships.

The Ontario Department of Mines had previously mapped the northwest section of Galway Township, and no mapping had been done in the area of the claim group. Previously, the area was known for iron, silver, and uranium exploration.

In 1998, Merv Johnson and Jeff Parnell evaluated two limestone deposits for limestone dimension stone in Galway Township; both of which have been issued Aggregate Permits. Merv Johnson has expanded operations and is under application to expand the existing aggregate application.

In 2000 and 2001, Floyd Preston evaluated a syenite-granite quarry at Mountain Lake in Galway Township, and have been issued with quarry permits.

Page 10: Limestone Dimension-Stone Deposit for John C. Archibald ...

General Geology-The area covered by the claims is underlain by carbonate-rich

metasediments of marble and diopside (Grenville Province of the Precambrian Shield), carbonated biotite-schists (metasediments), amphibole-rich metasediments, intrusive amphibolite schist, syenite l syenite-gneiss intrusions, pegmatite intrusions, quartz monzonite, and crystalline limestones. These rocks are of mid Proterozoic age (1280-1300 Ma). The metasediments are formed from metamorphosed limestone. Bands of altered biotite or amphibolite rich rock can be observed in areas of intense deformation and shearing.

The structural geology of the Grenville Province is Complex and is dominated by large-scale regional fold structures that have been folded and re-folded by tectonism, high-grade metamorphism, and intrusive activity.

A period of major orogenic deformation occurred pre 1300 Ma when the volcanic and sedimentary rocks were deposited on the basement rocks. Felsic Intrusions dating 1240 to 1270 Ma indicates a mid Proterozoic orogenic period as most of the orogenic period occurred between 1220 to 1160 Ma period. During the Grenville Orogeny, rock units around the Anstruther Batholith and Volturno Lake Batholith were metamorphosed and deformed into flow-folds situated around the rim of the felsic-alkali batholiths.

The area was glaciated during the Pleistocene. In areas where geological trend is in a north-south direction the rocks have been scoured cleanly and little to no glacial till has been deposited. In areas where the geological trends are east-west, there is some glacial till deposited at the bases of hills and at the edge of valleys where there are catch-basins. In some cases there is 1.0 to 2.5 metres of glacial till which is deposited intermittently.

It is believed that the source area for the biotite is from the biotite rich syenite and syenite-breccia units which lie along the east and southeast boundary of the metasediment units, and are related to carbonatite and

Page 11: Limestone Dimension-Stone Deposit for John C. Archibald ...

pyroxenite structures which rim a series of (granite-syenite) batholith structures. These gneissic source rocks are hosted within marbles and metasediments, and the majority are situated in the southeast corner of Galway Township and within the northeast section of Harvey Township.

The limestone marbles are of both calcitic and dolomitic varieties. In the claim area the limestone formed on top of the marble units under a marine environment. The limestone units consist of the Bobcaygeon Formation and the Gull River Formation, both of which are underlain by the older Shadow Lake Formation.

The bedrock generally appears to dip steeply (70 to 85 degrees) southeasterly and strikes northeasterly. This is in contrast to the flat-lying bedding found within the deposits to the east and south of Catchacoma Lake. Weathering increases with depth where the dip steepens. In some areas close to shears and faults the dip is crenulated and flow banded.

Geological mapping has located several parallel bands of biotite- bearing marble which diverge and converge around injtrusive syenite- granite-gabbro-pyroxenite units . The two most exceptional vermiculite- bearing trends, the North Zone and the South Zone, appear to average 330 metres and 200 metres in width respectively. One section of the North Zone is approximately 800 metres in width whereas one section of the South Zone is over 1300 metres in width. Where the biotite and iron-rich phlogopite mica is weathered it has altered to vermiculite. It is thought that some of the zones are actually the same but are divided by dyke systems of syenite granite, quartz monzonite, and pegmatite. Generally, the zones are continuous except where block-faulted by northeasterly trending faults. Several of these faults have been mapped either by topographical controls or geological inconsistencies between the close-spaced trenches.

It appears that the Galway marble bands dip steeply to the east- southeast and the Cavendish vermiculite bands dip steeply to the west- northwest which would confirm a synclinal structure which plunges gently southwest with the "nose" of the structure in the noertheast part of Cavendish Township (Northwest Anstruther Township). Biotite host rock

consisting of syenite and amphibolite is observed inbetween tnese structures and within the mid-axis.

Exploration Program Specifics-

Permission was granted from the Township of Cavendish-Galway and Harvey to extend the Township Road Allowance from the existing Bass Lane and onto the crown land at Lot 5-Concession 2. Road access to the present claim would be from crown land to the north along Lot 4 and 5 on Concession 1 in Galway Township, where an existing timber road exists for most of the distance to the claim.

A east-west area of stripping was put through the northern limit of this area and limestone of the Gull River Formation was observed over a majority of this area with exception of the north west corner (west boundary) in which limestone of the Shadow Lake Formation was uncovered. Along this right of way, excavation of up to 5.0 metres in depth was done.

An area of approximately 50 meters by 75 meters was stripped in the northeast corner of Lot 5-Concession 2 and Lot 6 of Concession 2. Approximately 150 tonnes of dimension stone was stripped off during the excavating. The

2003 Work and Excavator Program -Hand stripped areas, three in total, were done along the eastern

boundary area of the claim, and only surficial areas were stripped and sampled.

Stripping by backhoe excavator (Cat 320 EL) has delineated dimension stone thicknesses 5.0 meters on the northwest corner and up to 38.0 meters thick on the rtortheast corner, as can be seen in generally four escarpment plateaus.

Generally, the limestone on the mid and west portion of the claim cleaves into dimensionstone blocks some 8 inches to 24 inches in thickness. However, along the east portion of the claim there is several thin layers of armourstone and flagsdtone averaging 2" to 4" in thickness.

The Shadow Lake formation, which underlies the Gull River Formation Limestones, was never intercepted and is usually designated by the green colour of the limestone, is generally friable and "shaley". The Shadow Lake Formation underlies the Gull River Formation and averages 1.0 to 4.0 metres in thickness.

Geological reconnaissance of the claim indicates Gull River Limestone underlying the entirety of the claim and including the adjoining areas.

The calcium carbonate (CaO) content is high and averages between 52.8 07o and 93.1 07o within the Gull River limestone units. The silica (SiCte) and aluminum (AteOs) content becomes greater with depth and below the leaching and weathering layers. The silica content averages between 1.607o and 6.707o. The iron (Fe2O3)content decreases with depth but generally exists at less than 1.1 07o content. Generally the potassium (KaO) and sodium (Na2Oa) levels are low to non-existant. The surficial limestone is bleached grey to buff and becomes increasingly beige to beige-pink colour with depth.

Conclusions and Recommendations-

The west half of Lot 32 of Concession 17 in Harvey Township are covered by Gull River Limestone Formation . Basal rocks below the limestone in this area are brecciated marble-limestone of the Shadow Lake Limestone Formation and below this are calc-alkalic-biotite marbles, syenites , and nepheline syenites. The eastern portion of claim 3002727 has a surface layer which cleaves into 2" to 3" armourstone or flagstone. The west portion has landscaping dimensionstone which cleaves between 8 inch and 24 inch.

The limestone is highly suitable for dimensionstone and armourstone-flagstone.

The rocks are Paleozoic (Middle Ordovician) which were formed during a marine environment which covered the basement syenitic intrusive and marble which was formed during flood environments.

The blocks within the Gull River Formation are ideal for dimension stone as they cleave between 0.05 and 0.60 metres in thickness. The upper sections are bleached to buff-beige colour and transgressing to light grey colour with depth. Some zones at depth appear to have a light pink colour.

Age dating of the Gull River Formation, through fossil studies along the shale rich seams. The age of these rocks is estimated to be between 458 to 478 Ma.

The Gull River Limestone is a fine grained chert-textured calcium carbonate rock which is resistive to acidic water and natural weathering. It is well suited for the intended use as dimension-stone block for water barrier around lakeshore. The fact that the rock cleaves natural indicates that it can be extracted by mechanized equipment without the use of blasting. The blocks generally break beween 0.5 meter and 2.0 meters in curcumference
