EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Mobile Metal Ions (MMI-M) survey undertaken in 2006 and 2007 and based on the collection of
227 grid-controlled soil samples at the Golden Pine property in the Sudbury area of east-central
Ontario has delineated two significant MMI-M anomalies. The priority anomaly is characterized by
Au response ratios of up to 1076 times background and is associated with lesser but important
responses for Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Sb, Pb, Tl, Sn and Ta. This anomaly has a southeasterly-trend
and is open to the southeast. It has an overall strike length of 450 m but has no distinctive
lithologic signature indicating the host rocks, as interpreted from the MMI data, are likely felsic in
origin without significant differences in bulk chemical composition between individual units. The
second anomaly, comprising As, Bi, Sb, Cu and Sn in association with CaRR, MgRR and SrRR,
is developed in the north-central grid area. The association of the multi-element MMI-M anomaly
with the CaRR+MgRR+SrRR triplet indicates this anomaly is likely hosted by or associated with a
mafic lithology. The absence of Au from the constituent elements should not negate exploration
follow-up of this response.
Low response ratios for base metal elements in both anomalies suggest the mineralization is a
low-sulphide system and as such should respond well to induced polarization surveys. These
surveys can deduce depth to mineralization and orientation of the mineralized zone.
A review of the quality control data from this survey indicates the analyses are both accurate and
precise resulting from a methodical and consistent collection of soil samples. The 10-25 cm
sample depth is appropriate for MMI surveys on this property.

PREAMBLE
The exploitation of mineral commodities in the near-surface geological environment has become
increasingly difficult due to the exhaustion of mineralization exposed at surface and the mantling
of prospective bedrock by residual soil or glacially transported till and its derivatives. Thick
residual soils and glaciofluvial and glaciolacustrine sediments topped by organic deposits make
mineral exploration in these terrains challenging. For this reason a plethora of innovative
exploration geochemical selective and partial digestions, coupled with state-of-the-art
instrumentation capable of measuring concentrations in the parts per billion (ppb) and sub-parts
per billion range, have been developed. These techniques offer the explorationist tools to "see
through" overburden and derive useful mineral exploration data for integration with geology and
geophysics and ultimately for drill-testing multivariate anomalies.
The proprietary Mobile Metal Ions Process (MMI) soil geochemical technique has been utilized on
a wide range of commodity types from base and precious metals to diamonds worldwide. The
Process is based upon proprietary partial extraction techniques, specific combinations of ligands
to keep metals in solution, and relies on strict adherence to sampling protocols usually
established during an orientation program. Geochemical data resulting from MMI analysis of
improperly collected soils cannot be ameliorated with univariate and/or multivariate statistical
and graphical solutions.
The recognition of anomalies in geochemical data has progressed from simple visual inspection
in small data sets to multivariate, parametric and non-parametric or robust statistical methods for
large datasets usually extracted from regional geochemical surveys. Derived parameters from
these statistical exercises, such as factor scores or discriminant functions, have been
successfully utilized in reducing a large number of potentially useful variables to a select few
variables that identify and localize anomalous geochemical signatures. These statistical
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.4
approaches have been required to manipulate accurate and precise, low-cost, multi-element
geochemical data.
The MMI technology uses a different approach to exploration geochemistry by analyzing soils,
subsequent to a proprietary partial extraction, for a select few commodity elements upon which to
base property evaluations. Having stated this, the demand from explorationists for a more
comprehensive package including pathfinder element suites resulted in the development of “MMI-
M”. The MMI-M multi-element suite was utilized to analyze inorganic soils from the Golden Pine
property and provides analyses for 45 elements. These are a multi-element suite that report ppb
and sub-ppb analyses for base and precious metals, pathfinder elements for these commodity
elements, as well as elements useful for mapping bedrock geology obscured by overburden and
its derivatives. The large number of elements in the database provides an opportunity to assess
an area of interest for a wide range of metallic mineral deposits with only minor drawbacks in
terms of lower limits of determination. The specific details of this assessment are described
below.
TERMS OF REFERENCE
This report assesses the geochemical responses in soil samples collected from the Golden Pine
property in 2006 and 2007 with subsequent analysis by MMI-M. The design of the sampling
program was the responsibility of Mr. Oliver Maki P.Geo. of Namex Explorations Inc. and Q.P. for
the project. The collection of soil samples was undertaken by Namex geological technicians Mr.
Trevor Pacaud and Ms. Sabrina Rabin subsequent to training provided by Mount Morgan
Resources Ltd.
The purpose of the MMI survey is to determine whether MMI Technology can be used to
elucidate Au-mineralization-related soil geochemical responses at the target property. A total of
227 samples were analyzed at SGS Mineral Services (Toronto, Ontario).

MOBILE METAL ION SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Sampling and analytical protocols for the Golden Pine (“GP”) survey are based upon information
available on the Mobile Metal Ions website and field demonstrations. A review of MMI sampling
protocols can be found there (www.mmigeochem.com). In MMI surveys there are some general
approaches that are used to guide sample collection including preferred depths of sampling and
these are described briefly here.
Soil samples, each weighing approximately 250 grams, are normally collected at 25-m stations in
precious metal exploration and up to 50-m in the case of base metals. Sample spacing should be
established on the basis of a “best-estimate” of the likely target being sought with estimates from
historical data or exploration results from nearby/adjacent programs. Sample locations are usually
documented according to grid coordinates and/or GPS readings at each station. Samples are
then collected from a consistent depth of 10-25 cm beneath the point at which soil formation is
initiated in the particular landscape environment where the survey is taking place. The optimum
depth of sample collection and the targeting of representative high-contrast base and precious
metal residence sites should be determined by an orientation survey, prior to the exploration
phase of this program. The orientation program can constitute a series of appropriately spaced
pits with samples collected from vertical profiles (base to top of pit) at each station. This approach
permits the documentation of the most representative signal and by so doing identifies the
optimum sampling depth for the survey area. The GP survey results for MMI soils was based
upon samples collected from depths of 10-25 cm below the point at which soil formation was
initiated in this landscape environment. Previously undertaken MMI surveys have demonstrated
that this depth of sample collection optimizes the most representative geochemical response as
detected with MMI Technology in the survey area. Samples are normally collected with a stiff
vinyl trowel after the initial sample pit was dug with a shovel. The shovel is clean without paint or
rust. In particularly hostile overburden scenarios where significant thickness of organic soils are
encountered, samples may be collected with an auger. A Dutch auger has been found to be
particularly useful for this purpose. Samples are bagged on site without preparation and shipped
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.6
to a licensed laboratory for MMI-M analysis. Analytical finish is by inductively coupled plasma-
mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
The samples submitted for analysis should include field duplicates, replicates or internal
standards. Analytical duplicates and a standard MMI reference sample are utilized by SGS
Mineral Services (Toronto) to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. Analytical blanks monitor
laboratory-based contamination. Exploration survey analytical data are presented in Appendix 1;
sample descriptions are also presented in Appendix 1. Edited data and calculated RR and Quality
Assurance and Quality Control data (“QAQC”) are presented in Appendix 2. Table 2 is a complete
Spearman-Rank correlation coefficient matrix for the MMI-M database (it is appended to the CD-
ROM) and the distilled version of this matrix (Table 1) is given in the text. Both 25th
percentiles
and backgrounds used to calculate the RR are given in Appendix 2. All graphics are presented in
Appendix 3.
NATURE OF SAMPLING MATERIALS
Details of the nature of soil samples collected from the GP grid are given in Appendix 1. The soils
are predominantly sandy with lesser silty and clayey equivalents. Abundant pebbles and some
coarser fragments to cobble and boulder size were observed during sample collection.
ANALYTICAL PROTOCOL
Mobile Metal Ions (MMI) Process
The proprietary Mobile Metal Ions Process (MMI) soil geochemical technique has been utilized on
a wide range of commodity types from base and precious metals to diamonds worldwide. The
MMI Process is based upon proprietary partial extraction techniques and specific combinations of
ligands to retain metals in solution once they are stripped from individual soil particles. The MMI
method relies on strict adherence to sampling protocols usually established during an orientation
program. Geochemical data resulting from MMI analysis of improperly collected soils cannot be
ameliorated with univariate and/or multivariate statistical and/or graphical solutions. Samples
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.7
analyzed using the MMI methodology require no preparation subsequent to collection. The
method targets recently arrived “mobile metals” that have traveled from buried/blind mineralized
sources at depth and migrated to surface. Accordingly, the concentrations measured are those of
recently arrived mobile metal ions at the surface and as such are much lower in concentration
than the total metal concentration of the soil measured by strong partial digests or total digests.
The method is effectively substrate independent and analyses are presented at parts per billion or
sub-parts per billion concentrations. Exceptions are Al, Ca, Fe and Mg, which are quoted in ppm.
Since the MMI-M extraction was utilized for the MMI surveys there are a wide range of metals
reported including precious and base metals and related or “pathfinder” elements as well as
lithologically sensitive metals. Quality assurance, quality control, analytical blanks and standards
ensure analytical data is both accurate and precise.
DATA TREATMENT
Analytical data was examined visually for analyses less than the lower limit of detection (<LLD)
for ICP-MS. Data <LLD were replaced with a value ½ of the LLD for statistical calculations and
graphical representation. The 25th percentile for these data was determined using the software
program SYSTAT (V10) and the arithmetic mean of the lower quartile used to normalize all
analyses. The normalized data represent "response ratios" which can then be utilized in
subsequent plots or statistical applications. Zeros resulting from this calculation are replaced with
“1”. Response ratios are a simple way to compare MMI data collected from different grids, areas
and environments from year to year. This normalized approach also significantly removes or
"smoothes" analytical variability due to inconsistent dissolution or instrument instability.
Background when using response ratios is considered to be “1”.
DATA PRESENTATION
Analytical data from the GP property MMI-M exploration survey for the 10-25 cm soil samples are
presented in plan view as Vertical Mapper bubble plots based on response ratios. TIFF files are
also provided for integration with other geoscientific databases. Graphics are presented in
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.8
Appendix 3. The plan view or bubble plots depict the flux in geochemical response by plotting a
symbol (circle) with a diameter that corresponds to the magnitude of the elemental
analysis/response ratio at that site. The magnitude of the response is also color-coded for ease of
inspection with the “hotter” colors indicating higher metal concentrations. These plots are
prepared with Vertical Mapper, a module within MAPINFO software.
DATA DESCRIPTION
Appendix 1 contains all data from the SGS (Toronto) laboratory for this interpretation and report.
The 25th percentiles and backgrounds for each element used for the calculation of response
ratios for the exploration survey soil samples are also presented in Appendix 2.
The GP survey dataset is marked by a number of elements that are at or near the lower limit of
determination as noted from visual examination of the data. These include Au, Bi, Ca, Mg, Mo,
Pd, Sb, Sn, Ta, Te and W. Elevated concentrations for select elements are also present and
these include Au, Ag, Co, Cu, Mo, Pb, Ti and Zn. The observation of numerous MMI-M suite
elements that are at or below the lower limit of determination (“LLD”) is not cause for concern
since many of these elements have very low mobilities in the surficial geochemical environments.
Elements like Au are generally present in very low concentrations and the result is the presence
of three distinctive ligands in the extraction to acquire and maintain Au in solution so that accurate
and precise ICP-MS measurements of the extractant can be made. The premise of MMI
Technology is that metals are moving from source region to near-surface soils and as such in
areas where there are no mineralized or source regions of metals there will be no metals rising to
the surface. Accordingly there will be a large number of analyses that are <LLD resulting from a
lack of a source region and not from buffering of the soil by carbonate-rich soils.
The frequency distributions for selected elements including Au and Ag are presented below. Each
of these elements approximate normal distributions but are positively skewed with a small
number of samples significantly elevated metal contents defining the skewness of the histogram.

These samples represent an anomalous portion of the data population and indicate that there is a
suite of samples that have elevated concentrations and possibly form a recognizable anomaly.
This will be examined with the use of Vertical Mapper bubble plots and described in a later
section of this report.

QUANTIFYING MOBILE METAL ION RESPONSES
The determination of whether an MMI response is significant is largely determined by an
understanding of the landscape environment in which the survey is taking place and this includes
the nature of the materials being sampled, depth of overburden and the nature/composition of
expected mineralization. Orientation surveys will determine the range in concentration and
derived response ratios associated with the mineralized target and from this an appreciation of
common geochemical parameters such as background, threshold and anomalous can be derived
for individual survey areas.
A variety of methods are available for determining geochemical parameters for the determination
of bona fide anomalies and these vary from univariate to multivariate statistical and graphical
approaches to simple visual estimates. For the determination of anomalies in MMI data a first
simple step is often utilized that will provide an initial breakdown of responses from a survey
although it is often more useful to look at constituent elements in a geochemical anomaly, their
response ratio levels and the number of samples responding in the survey area and whether this
response is cohesive, that is whether it is a “one-line” anomaly or is more broadly/areally
developed.
A general rule of thumb utilized for the assessment of the NG MMI-M geochemistry is to assign a
low-contrast response to an RR of 20 or less, a moderate-contrast RR to one of between 21
and 50 and a high-contrast response to RR of >51. More detailed statistical graphics
methodologies can be brought to bear on these determinations and include cumulative frequency
plots to probability plots, all of which are available from commercial software statistical and
graphical packages. Examples of cumulative frequency/density plots are given below for selected
elements including the important commodity elements Au and Ag. These plots may be used to
select the upper limit of background variation (Threshold) and then all values greater than this
threshold are anomalous and can be plotted as such. The threshold is selected by picking the
inflection point on the graph.

DATA QUALITY
Analytical Duplicates
Every 12th
sample in the routine analysis of MMI samples is an “analytical duplicate” that provides
control for the reproducibility and accuracy of routine analyses. These duplicates are presented in
Appendix 2 as QAQC and demonstrate that excellent reproducibility is apparent in the GP
analyses across a wide range of concentrations for all MMI-M suite elements. Some variability is
apparent at the LLD or even at higher concentrations however this is not interpreted as a
significant problem for the recognition of bona fide geochemical anomalies. The results of simple
linear regression for Au and Ag indicate only a single analytical duplicate pair for Ag is recognized
as a geochemical outlier (see below). The majority of analytical duplicate pairs are both accurate
and reproducible defining a straight line through the origin. Both Au and Ag are not compromised
by the presence of outliers and accordingly the presence of any bona fide anomalies for these
elements, if present, will not be missed. It is noted that the geochemical pair identified as an
outlier is at low concentration levels.

NOTE: [The Cook's Distance is a commonly used estimate of the influence of a data point
when doing a regression analysis. Data points documented as outliers may distort the
results froma regression analysis and Cook’s Distances of 1 or more indicate that a
particular data point is problematic.]

Analytical Blanks
To monitor laboratory and sampling errors introduced into the sample analytical blanks are
inserted with each batch of MMI samples that are run through the ICP-MS. The results of these
replicate analyses are presented in Appendix 2 (“QAQC”) and demonstrate that there is no
detectable contamination being introduced into the sample as it passes from the sample bag to
the ICP-MS. There is no commodity element contamination (Au and Ag) in the blanks. This
observation is based on the assessment of 6 analytical blanks from the GP MMI-M dataset.
Analytical Standard MMISRM14
The standard MMISRM14 is included with each batch of soil samples as a check on analytical
accuracy and reproducibility. Very little variability exists for commodity and related MMI-M suite
elements in the GP survey (Appendix 2) although some variance is noted for Fe with a
recommended value for the standard of 1.7 ppm and an observed range in replicate analyses of
the standard of 2-4 ppm with a mean of 3.2 ppm. Results for Au are excellent with a
recommended value of 44.1 ppb and a range of 36-39.8 ppb with an arithmetic mean of 37.6 ppb.
Results for Ag are also excellent with a recommended value of 19 ppb with a range of 15-19 ppb
and an arithmetic mean of 17.3 ppb. The overall accuracy and reproducibility of the analyses is
interpreted to be excellent.
Spearman-Rank Correlation Coefficient Matrix
A particularly effective method of assessing unique element associations in the MMI-M dataset
from the GP MMI-M survey and providing an indirect assessment of data quality is with a
correlation coefficient matrix. The distilled Spearman-Rank matrix is presented in Table 1 below
and the entire matrix is reproduced in Table 2 (appended to CD-ROM). The MMI-M suite of
elements is populated by a number of lithologically sensitive metals that can be used to map
subsurface geology in the bedrock underpinning the survey area and to infer unique lithologies
such as kimberlite, carbonatite and other lithologies with distinctive bulk chemical compositions.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.16
The majority of the significant element associations in the GP dataset are doublets related to Au,
Mo, Bi, Zn, Cd and Cu and to lithologically sensitive elements. These include doublets between
Au and the REE, Au and U and Au with Mo. All of which are suggestive of an association if not a
genetic link to felsic lithologies and possibly an intrusive origin. The strong association between
W and Ta can be used to infer that a felsic lithology, possibly intrusive is present in the survey
area. The elements Ca-Mg-Sr are highly inter-correlated and indicate that a mafic lithology occurs
on the survey grid and may be located in the north-central grid area where a Bi-Cu-As-Sb
anomaly is coincident with a Ca+Mg+Sr anomaly. Of particular interest in the associations are
those between Zn and Cd (0.687). This is a strong correlation strongly suggestive of a bedrock-
sourced zone of sphalerite mineralization. This association has been observed in MMI surveys
worldwide and as such has become a prerequisite for the interpretation of sphalerite
mineralization inferred from MMI survey results.
The high correlation coefficients for the REE indirectly indicate a quality analytical dataset exists
based on the geochemical coherence of the REE. Non-reproducible and inaccurate analyses
would be reflected by poor correlations between this suite of elements.

NAMEX GOLDEN PINE EXPLORATION SURVEY
The results from the MMI-M-based geochemical exploration surveys undertaken at the GP 2006
and 2007 grids are presented below in a geochemical narrative accompanied by Vertical Mapper
bubble plots. It should be noted that the bubble plots are also presented in Appendix 3. Samples
collected from the adjacent 2006 and 2007 survey areas are presented on the same plot using
response ratios for each element of interest.
RESULTS
Precious Metals
AgRR (1-46RR): The Ag responses on the Golden Pine grid are primarily low- to moderate-
contrast 1-2 sample responses. The highest response of 46 times background occurs at the
southern extremity of a transect in the southeast grid area. It is possible this anomaly is open to
the south.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.18
AsRR(1-65RR): A two-line, 2-sample AsRR anomaly occurs in the north-central grid area with
several elevated As responses in nearby sample sites. Elsewhere on the grid responses >20
times background are present as single sample and 2-sample anomalies, some of which occur in
the general location of the AgRR anomaly discussed above.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.19
AuRR (1-1076RR): Strongly elevated AuRR to 1076 times background are documented from the
approximate center of the grid. The 1076RR is one of two very high-contrast responses in non-
truncated data from this area. Truncation of analyses at 100RR so that trends can be examined
at lower response ratios documents a multi-sample moderate- to high-contrast anomaly
extending for a distance of 450 m in a southeast orientation. The anomaly is irregular in shape
owing to background (1-10RR) responses interspersed with highly anomalous responses. There
could also be structural complications in the bedrock resulting in this distorted morphology of the
Au anomaly. The anomaly is truncated on the west but is open to the east and southeast. There
is limited correspondence with Ag and As anomalies.

BiRR (1-20RR): Scattered 1-2 sample low-contrast responses occur in the central grid area in
association with the Au-Ag-As anomaly described above. In addition there is a consistent 4-line Bi
anomaly in the northern grid area that corresponds with an As anomaly in this area.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.22
CdRR (1-20RR): The CdRR responses are similar to those for Bi in terms of magnitude of
response and pattern of variation. The CdRR define an intermittent southeast-trending anomaly
marked by interspersed 1-5RR background responses with maximum responses to 20 times
background. There is some lesser correspondence with the Au-Ag-As-Bi anomaly.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.23
CuRR (1-17RR): Very low-contrast Cu responses to 17 times background typify the Golden Pine
grid. There is some correspondence with the Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cd anomaly in the central and
southeast portions of the grid. The most significant response occurs in the north-central grid area
where a southeast-trending three-line anomaly is developed. This anomaly is coincident with the
As-Bi anomaly developed in this area. Elsewhere on the grid the responses are scattered and do
not define a diagnostic pattern of response.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.24
SbRR (1-8RR): Very low-contrast Sb responses are present on the grid and despite the low RR
the patterns of variation documents two features previously observed on the grid. The first is a
three-line low-contrast anomaly from the north-central grid area that coincides with anomalies for
As-Bi-Cu in this area. The second is a poorly defined southeast-trending intermittent anomaly
corresponding with the trend of the Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cd anomaly.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.25
PbRR (1-20RR): Low-contrast Pb responses (to 20 times background) characterize the Golden
Pine grid. There are 1-2 sample very low-contrast Pb responses associated with the Au-Ag-As-Bi-
Cd anomaly developed in the central grid area. Generally, the Pb responses are not diagnostic of
a bona fide or characteristic trend in the survey area.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.26
MoRR (1-58RR): The eastern portion of the grid is marked by several 1-2-sample anomalies that
appear to be oriented along a north-northeast axis. These elevated responses are interspersed
with 1-10RR responses giving an intermittent anomalous pattern. There is a suggestion of a
southeast trending, albeit intermittent pattern of elevated MoRR that occurs in the southern grid
area. This orientation is consistent with that observed for the Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cd anomaly defined in
the core of the grid.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.27
TlRR (1-11RR): Very low TlRR occur on the grid as scattered 1-2 sample responses. The
southwest grid area hosts a 5-sample weakly elevated response but there is no association with
the Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cd anomaly defined in the core of the grid. The southeast portion of the grid is
marked by the highest Tl response in the survey (RR11) and this response corresponds to the Au
anomaly in this area.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.28
SnRR (1-12RR): Tin responses are very low-contrast (maximum to 12RR) but appear to define a
southeast-trending intermittent anomaly that corresponds to the orientation of the Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cd
anomaly defined in the core of the grid. There is also some correspondence with the As-Bi-Cu-Sb
anomaly in the north-central grid area.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.29
TaRR (1-6RR): The Ta responses are very similar to those for Sn with an intermittent, southeast-
trending weak anomaly defined. The axis of the anomaly is parallel to the orientation of the Au-
Ag-As-Bi-Cd anomaly defined in the core of the grid although the majority of elevated Ta
responses occur in the eastern half of the grid.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.30
WRR (1-10RR): Tungsten responses are non-descript and non-diagnostic of a trend or
anomalous pattern. The weakly elevated responses are more or less scattered across the entirety
of the grid. There is a tenuous association with the core area Au anomaly in the southeast grid
area.

Lithologically Sensitive Metals
A suite of lithologically sensitive elements is available in the MMI-M suite and these elements
provide the opportunity to assess changes in bulk chemistry in bedrock buried by overburden.
These metals can differentiate between mafic/ultramafic and felsic lithologies and discriminate
kimberlite and carbonatite from other surrounding rocks. In this way the mapping of bedrock
geology can be undertaken, MMI-M responses for base and/or precious metals placed in context
and a better appreciation for the geological setting of mineralization in the area of interest can be
obtained.
CaRR+MgRR+SrRR: This additive function has been demonstrated to be an efficient
discriminator of mafic and felsic lithologies in overburden-covered terrain. In the Golden Pine
survey there is no definitive lithologic break or anomaly defined by this function with the exception
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.32
of a three-line anomaly in the north-central portion of the grid. There is a documented As-Bi-Sb-
Cu-Sn anomaly coincident with this lithologic triplet in this area. The single element MgRR plot (1-
90RR) produces the same anomaly morphology as the CaRR+MgRR+SrRR plot.

TiRR (1-52RR): Titanium results from the survey indicate primarily moderate-contrast responses
that typify the western and eastern portions of the grid marked by irregularly distributed elevated
values. The elevated TiRR are interspersed with responses <8RR giving the trends an
intermittent pattern of response. There is a possible north-northeast-trending TiRR anomaly
situated at the eastern edge of the grid in the same area as a previously described MoRR
anomaly. The TiRR anomaly is open to the northeast and southwest.

NbRR (1-38RR): Niobium responses >20RR are concentrated in the eastern half of the grid

can be attributed to a distinct lithologic change in the bedrock.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.37
LiRR (1-19): The Golden Pine grid is characterized by background responses of 4RR or less.
Single sample, very low-contrast responses are scattered across the survey grid and are
interpreted to be non-diagnostic of an anomalous pattern or trend.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.38
Rare Earth Elements: Individual plots for the REE are provided for the Golden Pine survey.
These include La (1-142RR), Ce (1-81RR), Nd (1-166RR), Dy (1-65RR), Pr (1-165RR), Sm (1-
161RR), Er (1-36RR), Eu (1-107RR), Gd (1-130RR) and Tb (1-120RR). Despite significantly
elevated responses of >100RR for most of the REE the patterns from the individual plots fail to
detect a signature indicative of a diagnostic change in the bulk chemical composition of the
underlying bedrock. There are numerous clusters of up to 4 samples with elevated responses
oriented in a southeasterly trend but a geological contact or distinctive lithologic signature is
absent. The similarity of the responses between the individual REE is a consequence of similar
nuclear characteristics such as ionic radii and charge. The absence of a distinctive lithologic
signature is likely related to the fact that the lithologic units underpinning the survey area are of
similar composition.

OBSERVATIONS AND DISCUSSION
There are two geochemically significant features observed on the Golden Pine grid and these are
attributed to the presence of bedrock-hosted mineralized zones and what is likely a southeast-
trending structural grain in the bedrock.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.49
The first and most significant MMI-M anomaly is an extension of the Au anomaly first documented
in 2006 on the Golden Pine grid. As demonstrated by the extended survey and the analytical
results depicted in the AuRR and truncated AuRR data (truncated >100RR) plots this initial Au
anomaly has been extended an additional 450 m in a southeasterly direction. The range in AuRR
(up to 1076 RR or times background associated with numerous RR of >50) underscores the
significance of this anomaly.
The anomaly has an apparent southeast-trend and is open to the southeast. There is a multiple
element association with the Au in the anomaly and includes lesser responses for Ag, As, Bi, Cd,
Cu, Sb, Pb, Tl, Sn and Ta. This suggests a sulphide mineral association with the Au in a likely
felsic lithology. The relatively low-contrast responses for the associated elements suggest a
relatively low sulphide mineral content for this Au-bearing system. This could make this
mineralization an excellent target for induced polarization (“I.P.”) surveys and modeling the
responses so that any drill testing of the anomaly will be based upon a depth to mineralized
source as well as an orientation of the source region. In addition, the characteristics of the
chargeability and resistivity for the mineralized zone, if insignificant in terms of the magnitude of
the I.P. response, may preclude drill testing.
There is no unique assemblage of lithologically sensitive metals associated with this priority
anomaly suggesting the Au is developed within a structure or structures within a lithology or
series of lithologies that have similar bulk chemical compositions.
The second priority MMI-M anomaly on the Golden Pine grid occurs in the north-central grid area
and is characterized by an assemblage of As-Bi-Sb-Cu-Sn and is coincident with an additive
CaRR+MgRR+SrRR anomaly. This suggests mineralization is associated with or hosted by a
mafic lithology. The anomaly has an approximate strike length of 150 m and should also be
assessed either by I.P. surveys or excavator overburden removal.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.50
A TiRR-MoRR north-northeast-trending anomaly is also present in the eastern segment of the
grid and may be related to a felsic dyke.
Despite the absence of a distinctive MMI-M lithologic anomaly on the grid other than the
CaRR+MgRR+SrRR triplet there is a distinctive and significant statistical association between Au
and the REE (cf. Table 1). The correlation coefficients for the Au-REE doublets are >0.500.
additional statistical associations between Au and other MMI-M suite elements include Mo
(0.595), Th (0.506), U (0.490) and Tl (0.399) although these associations are not graphically
distinctive.
A review of the QA/QC data for the GP MMI-M dataset does not indicate the presence of
background shifts that might account for poor quality data and a review of the nature of the soil
sample description likewise does not indicate a significant change in soil type that would account
for any distinctive pattern not related to mineralization. Based on the results of analytical
duplicates, replicate analyses of MMI standards, analytical blanks, simple linear regression of
analytical duplicates and plausible geological explanations for element doublets (Zn-Cd, etc) the
data quality upon which all of the above observations are based is considered to be excellent.
This observation is supported by the strong inter-correlation between the REE-an observation
that could not be made if inaccurate and non-reproducible analyses were used.
CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions flow from this MMI-M geochemical survey at the Namex Golden Pine
property:
1. The GP survey area is characterized by a significant linear, southeast-trending anomaly that
comprises extremely high-contrast Au responses and lesser but important responses for Ag,
As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Sb, Pb, Tl, Sn and Ta.
Namex MMI-M Geochemical Survey Golden Pine Mount Morgan Resources Ltd.51
2. A secondary anomaly comprising As, Bi, Sb, Cu and Sn in association with CaRR, MgRR
and SrRR is developed in the north-central grid area. The association of the multi-element
MMI-M anomaly with the CaRR+MgRR+SrRR triplet indicates this anomaly is likely hosted by
or associated with a mafic lithology.
3. The absence of a distinctive lithologic signature in the vicinity of the southeast trending “main
Au anomaly” is indicative of a similarity in the bulk chemical composition of the lithologies
hosting this anomaly.
4. The rocks that underpin the broader survey area are likely dominated by felsic (granitic?)
lithologies. Overburden stripping, prospecting and geological mapping by Namex
Explorations indicates that this is likely the case.
5. The soil sampling depths utilized in the GP survey indicates that the 10-25 cm sampling
depth has produced a quality MMI-M dataset. This is the result of consistent and methodical
sample collection.
6. Sample spacing was adequate to assess MMI-M Technology response on the grid.
7. The MMI data is of excellent quality based on geologically plausible inter-element
correlations, excellent data reproducibility and accuracy. The data quality is not a hindrance
to anomaly recognition.
8. The materials sampled for the MMI-M survey are adequate for the definition of bona fide
geochemical anomalies.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. An MMI anomalous response does not indicate the depth to source region nor the grade or
tonnage of the source region. As such it is highly recommended that prior to a diamond drill
test of any MMI-M anomaly, the area be surveyed with a geophysical method that can be
modeled. If recent geophysical surveys have already been undertaken then these results
should be modeled. The determination of the depth to source region can help define the
orientation of the drill hole (declination and inclination). Electromagnetic, magnetic and/or
induced polarization methods can be used for this purpose. Induced polarization has also had
good success in providing an assessment of the chargeability and resistivity characteristics of
the source region responsible for the production of the MMI anomalies. The nature of the
response ratios observed in this study indicates the mineralization accompanying the Au is
likely a low-sulphide zone. As such it may respond very well to I.P. surveys.
2. Any further MMI surveys undertaken in this landscape environment must be based on
sampling and analytical protocols defined by the original 2006 MMI-M orientation survey.
3. Prior to drill testing of anomalies in the survey area integration of geological, geophysical and
geochemical data should be undertaken. Historic mineral deposit information from past
exploration programs should also be included.
4. Overburden stripping with an excavator is a cost effective alternative or adjunct to I.P.
surveys however the orientation of the mineralized zone as well as the magnitude of the
chargeability and resistivity will not necessarily be reflected once overburden is removed. The
attitude of the mineralized zone may be modified at depth and indeed the mineralization
responsible for the production of the significant Au MMI-M anomaly may not be exposed
below the overburden and be blind. As such I.P. surveys are recommended prior to any drill
testing.
