I. INTRODUCTION Scope This assessment report summarizes a prospecting, soil sampling program and rock bulk sampling program carried out during September 2009 on License No’s. 12433M & 15808M by FORTIS GeoServices Ltd. on the Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight Gold Project on behalf of Tenacity Gold Mining Company Ltd. Property Location & Access The property is located immediately adjacent to the village of Ming’s Bight and about 8.5 km NE of the town of Baie Verte on the eastern side of Baie Verte, Newfoundland (Figure 1). The Ming’s Bight Road (route 418) turns off the La Scie Highway, a road distance of 14.5 km east of Baie Verte. The Pine Cove gold mine gravel road, which turns westerly off the Ming’s Bight paved road approximately 3.5 km south of the village of Ming’s Bight gives direct access to the southern and western sides of the Project and direct access to the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit/open pit (Figure 2). The Deer Cove access gravel road, about 1 km immediately south of Ming’s Bight gives direct access to the northern part of the Project (Figure 2). The airport towns of Deer Lake and Gander are located approximately 155 km and 255 road-km west and east respectively from the town of Baie Verte via the Baie Verte Highway and the Trans Canada Highway; daily flights to and from the mainland exist at both airports. The claims are covered with a mixture of secondary growth trees and small spruce; most of the easily accessible areas in the region were logged during the early 1990’s. Outcrop makes up to ~2-3% and overburden ranges from 0.5 to possibly less than 3 metres except in bogs and linear valleys where it may exceed 5 metres thickness. Ownership & Land Tenure The Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight claims were staked by South Coast Ventures Inc. during December 2005 and mid-2006. The Project consists of 56 mineral claims (1,400 hectares) in two contiguous Map Staked Licenses and one Mining Lease, ML 193 (Figure 2). The claims are held 100% by Tenacity Gold Mining Company Ltd. of St. John’s, Nfld. The claims and lease statistics are summarized in Table 1 below. This current report is a report on work carried out on Licenses 12433M and 15808M (ML 193) during 2009. The Crown holds all surface rights with local logging companies and Abitibi-Price holding significant areas of timber rights; very little harvestable size timber remains on or around the property. None of the property or adjacent areas are encumbered in any way. The Baie Verte area has a history of mining since the 1860’s with production from a variety of Cu-Zn, Cu-Au, asbestos and gold deposits. The area is not in an environmentally or archeologically sensitive zone.

year. Infrastructure The claims are near to the towns of Baie Verte and Ming’s Bight. The TCH lies 60-road km to the south of Baie Verte. The Ming’s Bight power line and paved road lie within the centre of the Project. Good roads, power lines, experienced exploration and mining personnel, heavy equipment construction contractors and several diamond-drilling contractor are located in the Baie Verte region. An assay lab and several drilling contractors are located in Springdale 100 km to the SE. The Nugget Pond gold mill is located approximately 45 road-km to the east via a paved highway (Figure 1). The Pine Cove gold deposit (open pit resources of ~2.5 million tonnes grading 2.8 g Au/t) occurs 2.5 km west of the property; both this deposit and the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit within the Project are connected by gravel road (Figures 1 & 2). The Pine Cove gold deposit was put in production during June 2008 and was designed to mill at an initial rate of 500 tonnes per day. Significant engineering design flaws in the mill forced Anaconda Mining to begin trucking Pine Cove ore to the Nugget Pond mill; current gold recoveries are over 95%. The metallurgy of the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit is very similar to the Pine Cove gold deposit.

Previous Exploration Work The Baie Verte Peninsula was first explored during the 1850’s to early 1900’s with dozens of mainly base metal copper prospects being found, mostly along the coastline. The development of the volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) Cu-Zn-Au deposits at the Terra Nova mine in Baie Verte, the Betts Cove mine and the Tilt Cove mine in the 1860’s makes the Baie Verte area one of the older mining regions in Canada. During the late 1930’s to early 1960’s exploration by a number of companies on large concessions led to the discovery and subsequent mine development of the Rambler Cu-Au VMS deposits and Advocate asbestos deposits. Although gold was first discovered in the 1870’s at the Barry & Cunningham and the Goldenville zones (produced ~174 ounces of gold in ~1904) and the ‘Uncle veins’ gold zones (1940’s), the vast majority of previous exploration work carried out on the Baie Verte Peninsula was for VMS style base metal deposits and very little was for gold. During 1985 to 1988 the Baie Verte Peninsula became one of the ‘hot-beds’ for gold exploration in Canada. In May 1986 Noranda discovered the spectacular Deer Cove Au prospect approximately seven km to the north of the Ming’s Bight Project. This led Noranda to blanket stake over 4,000 claims in the area and included a part of the current Ming’s Bight Gold Project. Over the next three years Noranda and dozens of other explorationists carried out intensive exploration for gold using the ‘Mother Lode, California’ or mesothermal vein type model. This led to the discovery of hundreds of gold showings and twelve significant deposits of which at least five host commercial to near-commercial gold resources (two have since been mined out). During 1989-1990 ‘flow-through funds’ dried up and along with this so did serious gold exploration in the region. Many deposits and new high-potential gold zones have yet to receive the serious exploration attention they deserve; the region bounds with under-explored gold deposit opportunities. During 1986-1988 Noranda and a number of junior exploration companies explored the east side of Baie Verte for gold. Noranda emphasized the adjacent Deer Cove-Devils Cove project with intensive soil geochemistry, geological mapping, drilling and underground exploration drifting on the Deer Cove Main Vein. During June-August 1987 South Coast Resources Ltd. made the initial gold discovery at Pine Cove during follow up prospecting of highly anomalous heavy mineral stream samples. In 1988 Noranda discovered the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit within the current Project. Summarized below is a brief history of geological and exploration work carried out on and adjacent to the Ming’s Bight Stog ‘er Tight Gold Project. Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight Project History

In 1985 the Baie Verte area was first recognized as a classic mesothermal gold-quartz vein environment (Dearin, 1985). From 1986-1990 exploration in the Baie Verte region by Noranda and junior explorers discovered ~200 new gold showings and five significant economic deposits. Prior to 1985: Rambler Mines carried out base metal grass roots prospecting along the

east side of Baie Verte; there are no records of this work available but little was found. Several University Master theses were carried out in the area (1940’s to 1985) but none specifically within the Ming’s Bight Project area.



6

Hibbard (1982) published the first comprehensive 1:50,000 scale geological map for the Baie Verte region. This map formed the basis for all subsequent gold exploration.

1985: During July 1985 South Coast Resources Ltd. staked the first claims (the Pine

Cove property) in the area for ‘Mother lode-style’ mesothermal gold mineralization based on major structures and fuchsite-carbonate-silica altered rocks in the area. This initial work was probably the first time that the Baie Verte area was first recognized as a classic mesothermal gold-quartz vein environment. These Pine Cove claims covered most of the current ground in the Ming’s Bight Project but not the Stog ‘er Tight claim. Subsequent prospecting-exploration in 1986-1987 by South Coast discovered the current Pine Cove gold deposit approximately 3,500 m to the west of and along strike with the Stog ‘er Tight deposits (Figure 1).

1986: During May, 1986 Noranda prospectors discovered spectacular visible gold in

quartz veins near Deer Cove on the east side of Baie Verte (Figures 1 & 2). A major staking rush ensued with all remaining open ground in the region being staked. Noranda staked approximately 2,000 claims in the Baie Verte area plus another ~2,500 claims in the Baie Verte to Springdale areas. Noranda carried out regional stream and till heavy mineral sampling and prospecting over

the Baie Verte area; many Au anomalies were located. Initial prospecting and heavy mineral stream sampling by South Coast Resources

revealed several very prominent gold anomalies, especially in the Pine Cove area.

1987: Soil surveys and detailed prospecting by South Coast Resources locate a number of areas with anomalous gold in the Baie Verte Highway and Nippers Harbour areas. Detailed prospecting and panning of 1986 heavy mineral stream anomalies leads to the initial discovery of the Pine Cove gold deposit (aka Thunder & Lightening zones) and the Romeo & Juliet gold-quartz veins during July 1987.

During 1987 at the Deer Cove gold zone, Noranda drove a 500 m adit along the Main Vein and carried out stripping and trenching on 5-6 other significant gold zones. A major high grade talc deposit was also defined. Subsequent drilling and sampling led to a drilled resource of 108,200 tonnes grading 5.8 g Au/t with a high grade ore shoot plus a broken stockpile of 57,450 tonnes grading 8.6 g Au/t (Noranda internal reports 1987-88).

Initial prospecting and till sampling by Noranda prospectors immediately north of the Pine Cove deposits located anomalous gold in streams and tills.

The Nfld Department of Mines & Energy released the results of a regional lake sediment sampling survey of the White Bay-Baie Verte-Springdale Peninsula’s (Davenport & Nolan, 1987). Numerous gold anomalies are defined with many coincident As and Cu anomalies.

1988: During 1988 to 1991 the original Pine Cove claims were acquired by Corona Gold

who went on to drill and define a significant near surface open pitable gold deposit and many other sporadically tested gold showings. The Pine Cove gold deposit has a drilled reserve-resource of 3,053,00 tonnes grading 2.74 g Au/t for 268,700 ounces of gold. The



7

host rocks and structure to the Pine Cove gold deposit strike eastwards for over 3,500 m into the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposits and then further to the east. An excellent geological, geochemical and geophysical paper database was produced by Corona over much of what now makes up the Ming’s Bight Project. During 1988 to 1990 Noranda carried out detailed exploration and development drilling

on their Stog ‘er Tight gold deposits which they had discovered by prospecting in late 1987 and 1988. Some six separate but contiguous gold zones were discovered. An excellent geological, geochemical and geophysical collection of paper data exists for most of this ground. This data and the above described Corona survey work has now been compiled into a useable digital GIS database (Dearin, 2008). Pine Cove deposit diamond drilling cuts up to 11.1 g Au/t over 8.1 m of core. Noranda discovers the Stog ‘er Tight Au deposit ~three km east of the Pine Cove deposit

(23 g Au/t over 7 m in trenches; 8.9 g Au/t over 5.0 m and 5.1 g Au/t over 19.6 m in drill core).

1988 to 1990: Noranda carried out detailed soil geochemical work, detailed ground

magnetics and VLF-EM surveys, prospecting and mapping around and adjacent to the current Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight property. Noranda completed 78 BQ-size diamond drill holes totalling around 8,500 m of core in partially defining some six gold lenses. A detailed airborne Dighem survey was flown (EM, magnetics and VLF-EM) over the majority of the current Ming’s Bight Project. Noranda reported gold resources of 670,000 tonnes grading 7.3 g Au/t (157,000 ounces of gold). Following 1990 Noranda ceased all exploration work on the Stog ‘er Tight property.

1990-1995: During this five year period no further exploration work was carried out in

the area except for additional small scale drilling on the Pine Cove deposit.

1996-1999: During 1996 Ming Minerals Inc. purchased the Stog ‘er Tight property from Noranda and carried out the following exploration-development work: During September to early November 1996 Ming Minerals carried out further shallow

drilling (29 core holes totalling 1,931 m) to tighten up Noranda’s 100 m drill hole spaced sections to 25 m; most holes were less than 65 m below surface. This drilling helped to further define the gold ore shoots in more detail. Dug some 20 surface trenches along 200 m of strike length. Detailed trench mapping and

sampling indicated geological complexities to come but confirmed generally good grades in the Main (Footwall) zone. From early-November 1996 to mid-January 1997 Ming test mined by open pit some

32,000 tonnes of ‘ore’; all ‘ore’ was trucked to the nearby Rambler base metal mill which had installed a gold circuit to accommodate this gold ore. While some 1,900 ounces of gold and 800 ounces of silver were produced, numerous problems were encountered with the open pit mine plan and an overall poor recovery of 65% at the Rambler base metal mill and the operation shut down in mid-January 1997. The poor mill recovery, while significantly improved over the three months of production, was due to the initial poor performance of the mill gold circuit and operator inexperience. Due to financial and



8

corporate problems with Ming Minerals and a low gold price the Stog ‘er Tight deposit never operated again. The Stog ‘er Tight property remained idle from 1997 to the present day.

During 1999 Ming drilled two final holes (176 m) on Sections 1275E & 1300E to test for depth extensions; both intersected good gold grades.

2006: During early 2006 South Coast staked 61 mineral claims around and adjacent to

the original Stog ‘er Tight mining lease. On April 15, 2006 this mining lease (ML 148), held by Ming Minerals Inc. was cancelled. The lease was converted to an EML (Exempt Mineral Land) and in June the Dept. of Natural Resources opened the property to proposals from the public. In October 2006 South Coast was selected to explore and develop the Stog ‘er Tight property.

During November 2006 South Coast had a legal survey of the property completed and on December 6 was given Mining Lease 193 covering the Stog ‘er Tight gold property (34.9 ha).

2009 Program & Work Completed During September 2009 the writer carried out a brief program of prospecting and b-horizon soil sampling along the north side of the Project (Figures 4 & 5). Four days were spent on the claims in completing this work. Eighty six soil samples and one rock sample were collected and analyzed for Au (fire assay) and 11 elements (ICP-AES); analytical results and sample descriptions are included in Appendix A and shown on Figure 5. In addition five 20 to 27 kg bulk samples were collected from five areas throughout the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit open pit. These samples were subdivided into 18 sub-samples and individually assayed for gold and ICP-AES (11 elements). The coarse rejects will be used in the near future for a detailed metallurgical bench testing of the gold ores. Analytical results and sample descriptions are included in Appendix A and shown on Figure 6. During November 2009, three additional rock samples were collected for metallurgical Bond Work Index testing and eight rock samples were collected for determination of potential acid rock generation; all samples were collected from the Stog ‘er Tight open pit. Geological descriptions of each sample are included in Appendix C and sample locations are shown on Figure 6 A total of 24 man-days were spent on the Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight Gold Project with 2009 program expenditures totaling $17,278. The following Tables 2 & 3 summarize personnel who worked on and expenditures incurred on the Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight Project.

III. GEOLOGY Regional Geology and Mineralization The Baie Verte Peninsula is underlain by two contrasting geological environments in the northern most section of the Appalachian Mountain Belt Orogen. The western tectonostratigraphic zone, the Humber Zone, represents late Paleozoic to mid-Ordovician continental margin rocks, termed the Fleur de Lys Belt. The Fleur de Lys rocks consist of older rift type siliclastic and volcanic rocks which are transitional upwards into continental slope facies rocks of the Fleur de Lys Super Group (Old House Cove and Mings Bight Groups). These are overlain by deeper water continental slope facies rocks consisting of sandstone, shale, etc. of the Rattling Brook Group. These rocks have been poly deformed into schists and gneisses during and after the Taconian Orogeny and later intruded by Siluro-Devonian granitic batholiths (Figure 3). The eastern tectonic zone, the Dunnage Zone, represents segments of the western edge of the Lower Paleozoic Iapetus Ocean consisting of obducted and now deformed ophiolitic suites, unconformably overlying volcanic-sedimentary rocks and intrusive rocks which make up the Baie Verte Belt. The ophiolitic rocks comprise up to four early Ordovician allocthonous complexes (Birchy, Advocate, Point Rousse and Betts Cove Ophiolite Complexes) obducted onto continental rocks during the Taconian Orogeny. These mafic-ultramafic complexes are conformably (?) overlain by olistostromes and mafic volcanics of the Flat Water Pond Group. Silurian bimodal to mainly felsic subaerial volcanics and variably amounts of fluviatile sedimentary rocks, presumably of continental caldera volcanic complexes (the Cape St. John and Mic Mac Lake Groups) unconformably overlie these mafic units. Siluro-Devonian granitoid suites, possibly subvolcanic to the Mic Mac Lake and Cape St. John Groups, intrude all rocks of the Baie Verte Belt. The boundary separating the Humber and Dunnage Zones is a regional fault structure termed the Baie Verte Line (BVL) or Flexure. Traceable as a major fault throughout the Appalachian Mountain Belt, the BVL is a crustal suture zone where two continents collided and it contains the remnants of a major Taconian subduction zone. This major fault is the loci of the vast majority of the known gold prospects and deposits on the Baie Verte Peninsula. It’s geological setting in conjunction with the proximal rocks makes this fault zone comparable to the Melones Fault of the Mother Lode gold belt, California, the Destor-Porcupine Fault in the Porcupine gold district, Ontario-Quebec, and many other famous mesothermal gold districts throughout the world. Ming’s Bight Project Geology The Point Rousse Ophiolite Complex underlies the northern section of the Baie Verte Peninsula and consists of variable assemblages of ultramafic rocks overlain by sheeted dikes, gabbros and mafic volcanics & volcaniclastics (Hibbard, 1983). From a gold potential point of view a number of sub-parallel and crosscutting faults occur within and adjacent to the property. The regionally important Baie Verte Line (Fault) occurs several km to the west of the Project in Baie Verte. A parallel, synthetic, second-order fault structure (informally named the Burlington fault) strikes

12

NNE adjacent to the east coast of Baie Verte but at Pine Cove the fault makes an abrupt swing to the east and southeast, clipping through the southern part of the Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight Project (Figures 3 & 4). This structure and related 2nd and 3rd order subsidiary splays from it, are directly related to the more important gold deposits in the area (Pine Cove, Deer Cove, Stog ‘er Tight) and also the Romeo & Juliet auriferous quartz vein (Figure 4). Secondary splay faults are generally the more important hosts for structurally controlled gold deposits. Adjacent to and within the Ming’s Bight Project such conjugate splays and linears appear to be significant hosts to gold quartz veins and carbonate alteration zones. The Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight Project is underlain by mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks and gabbroic sills and dikes of the Ordovician age Point Rousse Ophiolite Complex. The volcaniclastic rocks range from fine ash tuff to pyroclastic breccia with fragments up to 10 cm. Massive flows, pillow lavas and iron formations immediately north of the Property, conformably overly the volcaniclastic rocks. Several ENE and NW trending shear fault zones-linears cut these mafic rocks and host moderate to intense carbonate altered zones, some containing quartz veins and quartz-carbonate stockworks. Structural controls, set up by regional scale thrust faults (i.e. the Burlington fault and its subsidiary Scrape Pond thrust) are critical for the emplacement and control of gold mineralization both on the Stog ‘er Tight Project as well as the adjacent Pine Cove property and the Deer Cove Gold Project to the north. Repeated thrust movements and intrusion of hot carbonate-rich fluids into structural fold areas and along faults cutting brittle-ductile rocks produced a favorable structural and chemical environment conducive to forming and hosting mesothermal type high-grade gold deposits (i.e. Deer Cove-type) in secondary faults as well as lower-grade disseminated gold deposits in more porous volcaniclastic rocks (i.e Pine Cove-type). Ming’s Bight-Stog ‘er Tight Gold Project Mineralization The gold mineralization at the Stog ‘er Tight Project is hosted by one of three gabbroic sills, which intrude a sequence of mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. Extensive hydrothermal alteration (carbonate, albite, hematite +/- silica and chlorite) localized along an active shear zone and subsidiary splays within or adjacent to the gabbros has altered the host gabbros to varying degrees. These events are characterized by mylonitization, carbonatization and potassic and sodic alteration. The mineralization occurs within a broad envelope containing four consistently arranged, discrete types of alteration. The best gold zones are associated with red albite-pyrite alteration and replacement of the gabbro. Gold is associated directly with the pyrite and forms as micro-veinlets and blebs in the pyrite. Visible gold is rare in fresh sulfides but is readily seen at several thin oxidized zones on surface. The alteration zones pass outward into chlorite-magnetite, ankerite-sericite and chlorite-calcite (i.e. ~propylite). The highest grade red albite-pyrite zones form somewhat as en echelon lenses or veins with individual strike lengths of 100 to 200 m but have more consistent down dip-plunge over lengths exceeding 200 m. Overall strike length of the Stog ‘er Tight gold zone exceeds 500 m while the deepest holes have yet to probe deeper than 200 m below surface; the gold deposits remain open to the east, west and at depth.

2009 Soil Sampling Program & Results During September 2009 two lines of b-soil sampling were carried out across the SW side of License 12433M and the NW side of License 15808M (Figure 5). The lines were run adjacent to the northern end of the 1987-88 Noranda historical soil survey, which indicated a significant widespread gold anomaly with numerous values exceeding 100 ppb Au and up to 1,900 ppb Au. At the time, Noranda had attributed this large anomaly to northward glacial dispersion of the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit, however later prospecting by Noranda (1989-90) and this writer (2008 & 2009) located several areas of intense carbonate alteration and gold values in both bedrock and angular boulders (up to 20x g Au/t in Noranda sampling). Lines were run perpendicular to the Noranda historic lines at approximately east-west and spaced 100 m apart; samples were taken at 25 m spacings (Figure 5). Lines were run with a compass and chain and each sample site was picked up with a GPS for positioning. A total of 86 soil samples (Sample No’s. 101 to 186) were collected on the two lines. All soils were collected with a ‘Swiss auger’ and generally 2 to 10 holes were drilled per site in order to get a good representative sample. A dry, brown to reddish, fine, sandy-silty b-horizon soil was generally found 5 to 15 cm deep. Soil conditions were favorable with a good b-horizon soil taken for about 75% of all samples; the remainder were mixtures of poor b-soils with mostly c- or d-horizon soils. Whenever bog was encountered the humus Ao soil was not collected. In addition one rock sample of quartz-carbonate vein boulder found during prospecting was assayed. All samples were sent to Eastern Analytical Labs in Springdale, Nfld for gold assay and ICP-AES (11 element) analysis. Appendix A contains a summary of all soils collected including UTM coordinates, soil types collected and gold values; assay certificates are also included in Appendix A. Soil Sampling Results Gold values from the 2009 soils program ranged from 5 ppb to 745 ppb Au with mean of 50 ppb and a standard deviation (SD) of 108 ppb Au. Removing all values>175 ppb (8 samples) in order to bring the SD close to the mean, yields a sample population with a mean of 24 ppb and a SD of 35 ppb Au with an anomalous threshold of 95 ppb Au (i.e. the mean +2 SD). At this anomalous value, 13 samples or 15% of all samples are significantly anomalous in gold (Figure 5). All other elements are very low and cannot be considered as pathfinder elements (i.e. means of As = 5.8 ppm; Zn= 24 ppm; Sb = 5.0 ppm; Cu = 13.8 ppm & Pb = 5.2 ppm); all of these elements have corresponding similar or significantly lower SD’s than their means and maximum values are well under the mean + 2 SD’s. The generally low and somewhat similar values for each of Fe and Mn reflect the widespread and consistently favorable b-horizon soil conditions in this area. Prospecting along the two soil lines located several areas with 10 to 30 cm size, subangular boulders of white quartz and brown (ankerite-siderite) carbonate, non-mineralized vein material.



15

One sample taken (# 19954) assayed 5 ppb Au. Geologically these boulders do not resemble mineralization from the Stog ‘er Tight mineral gold zones and are suspected to be from a local, undetected vein source. An old trench (pre-Noranda 1987 work?) some 18 x 5 m in area and containing carbonatized mafic rocks with no mineralization was found 10 meters from soil sample no. 176 (128 ppb Au). Additional alteration and quartz boulders occur within a few hundred meters of this trench. Figure 5 shows the soil sample locations and Au results. A number of high gold-in-soil anomalies have been located and these require further detailed follow-up and prospecting. All soils were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Labs in Springdale by fire assay for gold and ICP-AES for 11 additional elements. A soil sample summary with UTM locations and soil descriptions along with the soil sample assay certificate is also located in Appendix A.

Stog ‘er Tight Deposit Metallurgy During 1989 Noranda carried out two metallurgical column leach tests (by Lakefield Research) on two separate, 200-pound samples of low-grade, hand-selected rock from several surface trenches. The original samples contained significant amounts of oxidized sulfides and these were picked out and discarded. Channel cuts from the collection sites in these trenches averaged around 3.5 to 3.7 g Au/t (including waste rock in the cuts); however the hand picked-cleaned bulk samples, after picking-cleaning out the pyrite-rich oxidized pieces, averaged 1.0 to 1.5 g Au/t. The column leach tests yielded gold recoveries in the 95 to 98% range (grind to 50% passing -200 mesh) with relatively low cyanide consumption. A test on higher-grade drill cores was planned but never completed by Noranda. From November 4 1996 to January 15 1997, Ming Minerals mined a bulk sample of approximately 30,735 tonnes from the Stog ‘er Tight open pit. Most of the ‘ore’ was derived from the main ‘lower zone’ (aka the Footwall Zone) currently exposed along the south walls of the pit (Figure 6). However a significant part of this mined ‘ore’ was derived from lower grade altered gabbros hosting 1 to 5% disseminated pyrite; this rock probably graded <1% Au/t and added considerably to the dilution of the higher grade ‘ore’. The entire 30,735 tonnes bulk sample was trucked to the old Rambler base metal mill which had by then added a ‘gold circuit’ in order to treat the Stog ‘er Tight ores. Mill recoveries ranged from 25% to 87% but only averaged 65.5% over the 2.5-month trail period; there was a definite improvement in mill recovery up to 87% over this 2.5 month period. The low recoveries were due to mill operator inexperience with gold circuits, poor consultants advice related to gold metallurgy and the usual ‘teething’ problems involved in gold mill startups. In order to show the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit has a better metallurgical properties with high gold recoveries, during 2009 a series of hand selected bulk samples were collected from the open pit exposures for future metallurgical testing. 2009 Bulk Sampling Program Metallurgical Samples A series of five bulk rock samples comprised of 18 sub-samples (M-19741 A-D to M-19745 A-D) were collected from the Stog ‘er Tight open pit; these samples will form a large composite sample for detailed metallurgical analysis in the near future. Bench scale testing of this composite bulk sample will include Bond Work Index testing, gravitational, flotation and cyanidation testing. The Stog ‘er Tight bulk samples were collected from five areas spaced throughout the open pit over a strike length of 225 m and over a vertical height of 25 m (bench level 75 to 50) and from both the Footwall and Hangingwall zones (spaced 40 m apart ((Figure 6). Each sample was handed collected from chips and grabs over the exposed gold zones in faces and walls of exposed benches as well as from several stockpiles in and adjacent to the pit. At each sample site a 6 gallon bucket was filled with hand selected and cobbed pieces (~fist size pieces) from across the mineralized zone. An attempt was made to collect individual pieces of altered and



18

mineralized rock which was estimated to range from 1-2 g Au/t to 5-20 g Au/t; the writer used the Stog ‘er Tight generalized ‘rule of thumb’ of 1 g Au/t for each 1-2% pyrite so a piece with 5-8% pyrite should grade around 6-7 g Au/t. On that basis an attempt was made to collect five large 20 to 27 kg samples (total composite weight around 100 to 125 kg) with an average gold grade of between 4 and 10 g Au/t per sample bucket and having an overall weighted average gold grade of around 5 to 7 g Au/t. Once the 6 gallon bucket was full it was dumped on a tarp and all large pieces were hand cobbed to be < 8-10 cm per side. The piled sample was then mixed and roughly cut into quarters with each quarter placed blindly into four separate 12”x18” plastic sample bag. Each bag was given a unique sample number which was marked with a felt tip marker on the outside of each bag and both a paper sample tag and a scribed aluminum tag with the same sample number was placed in each bag. At each sample site the four quarter-split samples were given the same sample number but suffixed with the letter A, B, C or D. Each bag was then tied and placed in large shipping bags for transport to the lab. All samples were delivered to Eastern Analytical Labs for fire assay gold analysis (1-assay ton) and ICP-AES (11 element) analysis. The average grade of all 18 samples is 11.5 g Au/t and the total weight of all samples combined is approximately 150 kg. Appendix B contains a rock sample summary of all samples collected including UTM and mine coordinates, geological description, weights and gold grades; assay certificates are also included in Appendix B. In addition, during November another 11 rock samples were collected from the Stog ‘er Tight open pit for additional metallurgical test work (Bond Work Index testing) and for Acid Rock Generation testing. Metallurgical Sample Gold Analysis All 18 sub-samples (M-19741 A-D to 19745 A-D) were collected from exposed ‘ore’ faces, walls and broken rock in the Stog ‘er Tight open pit (Figure 6). The average grade of all 18 sub-samples collected is 11.5 g Au/t; the average pyrite content is about 7-9% based on visual estimates and the average Fe content is 5.5% (based on ICP analysis), which equates into an approximate pyrite content of ~8%. The overall average grade of the 18 samples is significantly higher than what was expected (i.e. based on visual estimates of pyrite from the hand cobbed and selected pieces, it was expected that the average grade would be in the 6 to 8 g Au/t range). It is also surprising that:

• the grade range of each of the four sub-samples at each of the five sample sites was so variable considering the care in which each 6-gallon bucket of sample was mixed, quartered and resampled into four separate sub-samples.

• the variability in Au grade in each of the four sub-samples is not reflected in a significant variability in visual pyrite content or Fe % from the ICP analysis.

• the ‘ore’ stockpiles assayed so high, even considering that the samples were hand cobbed and selected and were intentionally not low-graded (see gold results in Appendix B).



19

The Stog ‘er Tight ‘ore’ is a very clean rock with virtually no As, Cu, Pb, Sb, etc. and contains a generally low Fe content (averaging <4% Fe for the entire gold deposit) relative to other gold ores in the region. Weighted amounts of each of the 18 samples will be combined into one 100 to 125 kg composite sample for future metallurgical bench scale testing. Bond Work Index Samples Three samples (sample no’s. 19746 to 19748), weighing ~8 kg each were collected for Bond Work Index testing so a complete metallurgical test analysis could be completed. The previously collected 18 metallurgical samples (see above) had been crushed to 100% passing –10 mesh. This small grain size was not suitable for Bond Work Index testing (>6 mesh is the minimum mesh size) so additional samples, representative of the entire ore deposit were collected. These samples were collected from three areas within the Stog ‘er Tight open pit from faces with significant Au ore grades and are representative of ore to be mined and milled in the future. In addition, sample no. 19806, taken for ARG testing (see below), is representative of the ‘Hangingwall gold zone’ with a face grade of ~4.2 g Au/t across 7.0 m (2008 chip sampling) or ~14.4 g Au/t from 2009 hand-selected bulk samples), and can also be used for Bond Work Index testing. These three samples can also be used as part of the overall composite metallurgical sample and for additional Acid Rock Generation testing of the Stog ‘er Tight ore zone. Sample locations are shown on Figure 6 and sample descriptions are included in Appendix B. All metallurgical testing should be carried out in the near future. Acid Rock Generation Samples A total of eight samples (sample no’s: 19801 to 19808) weighing an average of ~5 kg each were collected from eight sites throughout the Stog ‘er Tight open pit for Acid Rock Generation (ARG) testing to determine if the wallrocks from 5 to 15 m away from the ore zones and the wallrocks of low grade mineralization immediately adjacent to the footwall of the ore zones have the potential to be acid generating with rain and ground water now and in the future. An additional three samples (sample no’s: 19746 to 19748) taken from the higher-grade ore zones for Bond Work Index testing will be subject to Acid Rock Generation testing to determine the potential for acid water generation from these ore zones. This sampling program was designed with Jacques Whitford/Stantec. Sample locations are shown on Figure 6 and sample descriptions are included in Appendix B. Acid Rock Generation analysis of these samples will be carried out in the future

II. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The 2009 soil sampling program was successful in confirming and expanding on the historical (1987) Noranda gold-in-soil anomalies in an area ~800 m north of the Stog ‘er Tight gold deposit. Prospecting located a number of quartz-carbonate subangular boulders which are different than the gold mineralization at Stog ‘er Tight. Additional follow-up sampling and prospecting is recommended for this gold potential area. In addition 18 samples were collected from the Stog ‘er Tight open pit. All 18 sub-samples analyzed high in gold; weighted portions of these samples will be selected to form a 100 to 125 kg bulk sample for future metallurgical work. Eleven other samples were collected from various areas in the open pit for additional metallurgical work and to help identify any potential acid rock generating problems with the Stog ‘er Tight ores.
