INTRODUCTION aaowNwesea 8 ..e**t LEBEL 010

During February of 1987, work was carried out on three claims which

are located in Lebel Township in the Larder Lake Mining Division, fine

unpatented mining claims numbered, L644717, L714930, and L714931 are held

by Premier Explorations Inc. of 33 Premier Avenue West, Kirkland Lake

Ontario, P2N 2S7. The claims are subject to aquisition by ERG Resources

Inc. P.O. Box SB, Royal Trust Tower, T.D. Centre, Toronto M5K 1H1 from

Jimberlana Minerals N.L. , 356 Collins Str. Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

under an option granted by Premier Explorations Inc. in December 1984 to

Maree Investment corporation.

Marrel Consultants Limited was contracted to complete a magnetic and

VLF survey of the property by ERG Resources Inc. Fieldwork was completed

between the 12th and 21st of February, followed by report compilation by

the supervising geologist in Toronto. Work could not have been started at

an earlier date due to the slow formation of the ice on the lakes this

year.

Access to the group of claims can be obtained along a dirttrack from

the South side of the airport road about two miles from town. This track

runs south along the edge of Lost lake and eventually reaches the tailings

at the north edge of the Sylvanite tailings basin a short distance to the

west of claim L644717. The two most westerly claims of the block of three

received tailings from the Sylvanite mine while to the east is a

considerable expanse of open water. Previous work on these claims consisted

of overburden drilling, registered on the 16th of April 1986.

LINECUTITN3 AND GRIPPING

Kian Jensen, of Timmins was sub-contracted to cut a grid over the

claims and locate sample stations at 100' intervals. The baseline is

aligned west-east through the length of the three claims with baseline 00

being located at claim post 11 of claim L618795. Offset lines were then cut

perpendicular to the baseline northwards and southwards to the edge of the

property. A 400' line spacing was used which was reduced to 200' on claim

L714931. A total of 3.47 miles of grid was established.

Below are details of the grid;

MAGNETIC SURVEY

Readings of the magnetic total field were taken using a Geonics

proton precession magnetometer over a period of several days. A record was

made of the diurnal variation of the earths field by the use of a G816 base

station operating a second proton precession magnetometer. Readings were

taken at thirty second intervals to provide a printed record of the drift.

A total field sensitivity of 60000 Gammas was selected. All of the readings

fell between 58145 and 60682 Gammas. Base station readings recorded a

typical daily drift pattern with no evidence of magnetic storm activity.

Readings were taken every 100' along the cut lines and closed up to 50'

spacings where greater magnetic gradients were experienced. Corrections

were made for the diurnal drift and then the total field measured in Gantnas

was plotted on a map and then contoured. A total of 182 magnetometer

readings were taken on the three claims.

VLF m SURVEY

A handheld VLF EM 16 instrument was used on the survey with the

receiver tuned to Seattle. Seattle was chosen as the cut grid is aligned

north-south across strike and therefore the signals will arrive nearly

perpendicular to the grid. In phase and quadrature readings were taken and

recorded at 100* intervals with the surveyor facing a few degrees east of

north at the time of each reading.

The in phase signal component was Fraser filtered and the results

were plotted on a map at a scale of 1:2400, and then contoured. Quadrature

readings are also listed on the map. A separate map contains sections drawn

-3-

along the survey lines to allow easy recognition of the change of signal

throughout the area. A total of 185 VLF readings were taken on the three

claims. The maps are contained in the appendix.

GEOLOGY

The generalised geology map of the area shows two major rock units

exist within the three claim block. To the north and surrounding the

tailings on three sides are the intermediate and basic volcanic rocks of

early Precambrian age, containing massive flows and pyroclastic rocks. To

the east and south of claim L714931 there is considerable exposure of rocks

listed as gabbros, diorites and the more quartz rich equivilent rocks.

Mineralisation is not confined or much controlled by lithology and

therefore the major faults provide the main exploration targets. The Lebel

township geological map published dn 1944 indicates a probable faulted

contact between these two units with attendant splay faulting. Located

within a splay is a small block of fine banded greywacke. This area was

mapped prior to the flooding of much of this ground by Doig lake and

examination may not be possible. A VLF and total field magnetic survey thus

provides a good opportunity for identifying the location of mineralised

shear zones and faults if they are present within the area. The area is

extensively covered by either tailings or water from what is the remanants

of the mostly infilled Doig lake.

INTERPRETATION

No significant anomalies were discovered in the area but an

examination of the maps produced and stored in the appendix will help in

the tracing of the large regional faults which pass through these claims.

The Fraser filtered Vlf in phase signal shows no anomalous conductive

zones on these claims. Higher conductivities were encountered on the areas

of outcrop compared to the tailings area or over the Doig lake area. The

tailings are acting as a poorly conductive layer dampening signals from

greater depths.

Inspection of the Vlf sections reveals no significant anomalies

throughout the area, the quadrature signal for the most part remaining

positive. Lines 3400 E and 3600 E show a very strong in phase crossover

just south of the baseline. There is no accompanying negative quadrature

signal. The area is known to be swampy and conductive clay layers

associated with this swamp are believed to have created this response.

The total field magnetic survey reveals more information aiding in

interpretation of the underlying geology. A north-east to south-west trend

can be discerned which may reflect faulting associated with the contact

between the two main rock units. The final feature of note is a magnetic

high of about 2200 Gammas over the background level. It is situated in the

basic volcanic rocks but does not have a VLF response as would be seen with

a conductor of any size.

OONOJJSION AND KBOOMENDMTIONS

Owo of the easterly claims show some signs of faulting which could

conceivably host mineralisation. Neither the magnetic or the VLF surveys

were able to detect significant iron oonoentrations or oonductive zones and

therefore no major follow up work is reoomnended at this stage.

A small amount of field geology would help to establish the cause of

the magnetic high at 3800' E, 300' S and ah inspection of the shoreline at

1600' E, 400' S may reveal some evidence of faulting or shearing.
