3. SUMMARY

This report documents an initial investigation of the geology, mineralogy, petrochemistry and economic geology of the Mount Bisson claim-group, which comprises 12 contiguous claims (area of 3862.56 hectares) situated 65 km northwest of Mackenzie, B.C. The property is currently the subject of a joint-venture agreement in which Seymour Ventures Corporation may acquire a 60% ownership from Paget Minerals Corporation upon fullfillment of terms in this agreement. Thus, this report is submitted to the TSX-V exchange as part of an acquistion transaction. All geological, geochemical and geophysical work was undertaken by the vendor Paget Minerals Corporation. Under Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101, the property is classified as an “early stage exploration property”. Seasonal weather conditions (snow cover) prevented the author from accessing the property and obtaining surface samples, particularly from the Central Occurrence, at the time of the request from the issuer. The issuer intends to rectify the necessity for a site inspection by the author during the 2011 field season. Focus of the present work was upon rare-earth element mineralization developed in granitic pegmatites and associated metasomatic alteration that comprises the Wolverine pegmatite field of Černý (2005). The purpose of this investigation is to examine accessible rare-earth element mineralization of the Mount Bisson claim-group and to undertake a bedrock chemical and mineralogical data-base that will facilitate exploration for rare-earth elements in the area. The rare-earth granitic pegmatites of the area belong to the NYF-geochemical family (Niobium-Yttrium-Fluorine) that have been classified by Černý (2005) and Ercit (2005) as Abyssal class, AB-LREE subclass. The rare-earth element mineralization of the 3 by 9 km Wolverine pegmatite field, as named by Černý (2005), comprises granitic pegmatites and metasomatized host-rocks of the Wolverine gneisses that form a high grade metamorphic portion of the Upper Proterozoic Ingenika group in the Omineca crystalline complex (Mansy and Gabrielse 1978) and is known as the Wolverine metamorphic complex (Ferri and Melville 1994). Granitic pegmatites of the abyssal class occur in upper amphibolite to granulite facies metamorphic terrain and supposedly bear a connection to anatectic leucosome (Černý 2005). Examples in Canada include the Parry Sound, Hybla and Madawaska districts of Ontario and the Evans-Lou and Lapointe quarries in Quebec (Černý 2005). The Wolverine gneisses consist of a mélange of clastic metasedimentary rocks interlayered with carbonate-rich lithologies (marble, calc-silicate rocks) and mafic gneisses that have endured high grade metamorphism, severe ductile deformation and local partial melting that occurred during the middle Jurassic. The clastic metasedimentary rocks reveal localized partial melting in metawacke and metapelite compositions that produced in situ and intrusive masses of S-type, peraluminous, pegmatitic granites.

Later granitic rocks of the I-type, 72.6±0.2 Ma Wolverine intrusive suite crosscut the structural fabric in the Wolverine gneisses and locally generated metasomatic skarn envelopes in calcareous metasedimentary host-rocks as at the Ursa rare-earth element occurrence. The intrusive rocks exhibit a compositional spectrum of granite, quartz monzonite, quartz diorite, diorite and calc-alkalic granitic pegmatite.

The initial discovery of rare-earth element mineralization was made by Halleran (1987a, b, c and 1991) and was evaluated by detailed mapping, petrography, litho- and mineral chemical work. Total rare-element element content of bulk rock samples was found to range from 0.03 to 13.5 wt.% (Halleran (1991 and Table 1) with the highest levels found at the Laura No.1 and No.2 occurrences on Mount Bisson.

Five rare-earth element mineralized localities (Laura, Ursa, Will # 1 and 2 and the M12000 Road occurrences) were examined in this work that involve three distinct geological settings.

Granitic to syenitic, I-type intrusive rocks and related pegmatite that are interlayered with allanite-diopside-rich skarns, ostensibly controlled by the contact between the Wolverine Range intrusive suite and highly deformed diorite gneiss and calc-silicate rocks of the Wolverine gneiss unit (Laura rare-earth element occurrence)

Peraluminous, S-type pegmatitic granite hosted in calc-silicate and psammitic-metapelitic

metasedimentary rocks of the Ingenika group (Ursa rare-earth element occurrence), and, Late, undeformed, calc-alkaline, quartz-rich pegmatites and associated diopside-rich alteration

in host diorite and quartz diorite (M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrence). The M12000 Road occurrence, discovered in 2007 by the author, originally was situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson and dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. This mineral occurrence now lies on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a search at https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do The author cautions that the rare-earth element mineralization at this occurrence is not necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-group. Description of the M12000 Road occurrence can be found in Section 17: Adjacent Properties. The Laura occurrence is genetically affiliated with relatively undeformed, I-type granitic rocks of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite that are exposed proximal to the rare-earth element mineralized zone near Mount Bisson. Localization of the mineralization (512 to 7429 ppm total REE) is evident in sheets of allanite-bearing syenite and titanite-plagioclase-diopside skarn that are concordant to the flat-lying planar deformation fabric in diorite and quartz diorite in the host Wolverine gneisses. The Ursa occurrence, with a range of 54 to 667 ppm total REE, reveals field evidence for allanite mineralization associated with weakly peraluminous, S-type, granitic magmatism. Such rocks were plausibly generated by partial melting of a metapelite protolith, a common rock type in the Ingenika group. The mineralization occurs in an allanite-titanite-biotite-bearing, zoned potassic pegmatite that has undergone extensive ductile deformation and lies concordant to its amphibolite-calc-silicate-marble host-rocks. The mineralization consists of black allanite and orange titanite that is mainly confined to a narrow, plagioclase-rich border zone (667 ppm total REE) attendant to a diopside-rich skarn selvedge in calc-silicate host-rocks. The biotite potassic pegmatite core zone contains anomalous but a lower total REE content (370 ppm). The M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrence, found during this work, consists of vein systems of undeformed, quartz-rich, titanite-diopside calc-alkaline pegmatite (2 to 3 m width over minimum 5 m strike) hosted within lineated, titanite-hornblende diorite and quartz diorite. The mineralization at the M12000 Road occurrence consists of calc-silicate pods within diopside-rich quartz-rich segregations. These pods contain between 871 and 1463 ppm total REE, and exhibit very complex mineralogy characterized by Y-epidote, allanite, titanite, vesuvianite and scheelite associated with bright green diopside. Bulk rock values of 871 to 1463 ppm total REE occur in such zones with a

Page 11: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

notable content of 123 ppm total HREE and 174 ppm yttrium. These results indicate a potential for heavy rare-earth element mineralization in the M-12000 pegmatite system. The allanite subgroup [(Ca,Ce,Y)2 (Al,Fe3+)3Si3O12(OH)] of the epidote group is the main rare-earth element mineral of economic interest although subordinate concentrations of the rare-earth elements can occur in coexisting titanite, fluorapatite and epidote. Electron microprobe analyses of allanite from rare-earth element occurrences near Mount Bisson reveal an average La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 of 20.3 wt.% and low to modest contents of deleterious elements such as ThO2 and UO2. The Central Occurrence was discovered by T. Barresi during 2010 field work and one grab sample from a 15 cm wide, allanite-rich, melanocratic pod hosted in biotite-bearing quartzofeldspathic gneiss produced a ∑REE value of 8.64 wt.% (Paget Minerals Corp. News-Release, August 25, 2010), the second highest documented in the claim-block to date in a database that includes the historical analyses (see Appendix 1).However, the author cautions that this site has not been examined by a qualified person and will be subject of an investigation by the author, as requested by the issuer, in the 2011 field season. Under Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101, the property is classified as an “early stage exploration property”. Seasonal weather conditions (snow cover) prevented the author from accessing the property and obtaining surface samples at the time of the request from the issuer. No general exploration concept can be employed as the granite-related, rare-earth element mineralization occurs in three distinct lithologic associations, as outlined above. Rather, exploration should focus upon the particular rare-earth element-granite association of interest and its inferred genetic history. Further exploration is highly recommended for the claim-group that includes follow-up evaluation of Central occurrence and systematic sampling and mapping of the Laura No.1 and No.2 and Will No.1 and No.2 occurrences. Bulk rock chemistry and soil sampling that focuses upon pathfinder elements Ba, Sr, Ce, Nb and Th could prove useful in the exploration for I-type related rare-earth element mineralization exemplified by the Laura #1 occurrence.

4. INTRODUCTION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE

4.1 Introduction

Seymour Ventures Corporation is a public company existing under the laws of Canada and listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (TSX-V: SEY). The company currently has no mineral properties but is in the process of property acquisition as reported in its November 17, 2010 press release and also by Paget Minerals Corporation in its November 18, 2010 News-release. The purpose of this technical report is to support a submission with the TSX-Venture exchange that involves a 60/40 joint venture agreement respectively between Seymour Ventures Corporation (TSX-V:SEY) [‘Seymour’] and Paget Minerals Corporation [‘Paget’] whereby Seymour may acquire a 60% interest in Paget’s Mount Bisson and Xeno rare-earth element properties in B.C. The financial details of this proposed joint venture are given in Section 6. The Xeno property in the Dease Lake area of B.C. will not be discussed in this report and the author has not visited this property. Paget Minerals Corporation is a public mineral exploration company that was incorporated in British Columbia on May 4, 2005 and was listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V: PGS) on August 24,

2009. The company has a diverse portfolio of properties range from precious, base metals, and rare-earth element deposits in British Columbia and in the Canadian Shield of eastern Canada.

4.2 Terms of Reference

Seymour Ventures Corporation requested that the author undertake an independent technical assessment of the Mount Bisson rare-earth element property on November 25, 2010 and prepare a report in compliance with the standards of the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). Two periods of field investigation, which totalled 11 days, were undertaken by the author in October 2007 and in July 2008. The scope of these investigations involved geological and mineralogical examination and sampling of accessible outcrops over the claim-block and examination and sampling of the historical rare-earth element occurrences (Ursa and Laura) along with a REE occurrence. Two occurrences (Will #1 and 2) could not be located due to dense second growth forest covering large areas in vicinity of the historical showings. A third period of surface geological and geochemical work was undertaken from July 2 to 15, 2010 by T. Barresi, a graduate student at Dalhousie University, and under the supervision of J. Bradford, P. Geo of Paget Minerals Corp. This work was done independent of the author, although five reference grab samples, analyzed by ALS Chemex Labs, were sent to the author in September 2010 for petrographic examination. The results from one sample E922522 in this work are included in this report (see Central Occurrence in Section 11.1.5). The revision of this 43-101 report did not involve a field examination by the author of the 2010 surface work conducted by Paget Minerals Corporation as seasonal weather conditions in the Mount Bisson area rendered access impossible due to heavy snow cover. This is in accordance with Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101 that classifies the property as early exploration stage. Under Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101, the property is classified as an "early stage exploration property". Seasonal weather conditions (snow cover) prevented the author from accessing the property and obtaining surface samples at the time of the request from the issuer. The issuer will request that a site inspection be undertaken by the author as soon as practicable during the 2011 field season and file a revised technical report in due course. Major, minor and trace element analyses of 100 grab samples were undertaken by four certified, commercial labs [Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. (“Acme”), ALS Chemex Laboratory Group (“ALS Chemex”), Activation Laboratories (“Actlabs”) and the Ontario Geoscience Laboratory (“OGS Labs”)]. These samples involved the Laura #1 and Pegmatite 541 in addition to the M-12000 REE occurrence discovered during the author’s investigations. Verification of the mineral compositions at these occurrences was undertaken by Dr. Andrew G. Tindle, a geoscientist at the Department of Earth Sciences of The Open University, U.K., who has about 30 years experience in the mineralogy of rare-metal mineralization. Verification of the mineralogical species present and their compositions was undertaken with a Cameca SX-100 electron microprobe. Mineral identification was also undertaken at the Geoscience Labs of the Ontario Geological Survey. The author is independent of the Issuer Seymour Ventures Corporation and also independent of Paget Minerals Corp and Pembrook Mining and has no material interest in these firms or in any of their mineral properties. To the author's knowledge, there has been no material change to the Mount Bisson property in terms of follow-up exploration. Previously a change in ownership had been undertaken as detailed in Section 2 that involved Pembrook Mining Corporation and Paget Minerals Corporation. The author is a practicing member in good standing with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (member #760).

The main sources of information in this report are in the public domain as assessment files and maps from MINFILE, unpublished M.Sc thesis of A.A.D. Halleran (1991), and publications of the B.C. Department of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. Other files on comparative deposit-types were obtained from internet searches. The Mount Bisson property was examined for a total of 11 days via field work in 2007 and 2008. The field work was planned by the author. A further 14 days of field work was undertaken from July 2 to 15, 2010, by T. Barresi, a Ph.D. candidate at Dalhousie University. Mr. Barresi was under the supervision of J. Bradford, P. Geo. of Paget Minerals Corp. and was not supervised by the author. The author assumes and relies upon the fact that all historical technical information, as listed in the References section, is accurate and represents the best practices of industry standards at that time. However, while a careful review of these data was undertaken, the author cannot guarantee their accuracy. The documentation of claim status was undertaken online at https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca:443/mtov/home.do but not verified with the B.C. provincial government as the author is not qualified to validate the legal ownership of the property and therefore cannot take any legal responsibility on this issue. The author is not aware of any surface rights issues or environmental liabilities associated with the property. No past mining activity has occurred within the current property area. No exploration follow-up work has occurred subsequent to the author’s last field examination in July of 2008. The author is not aware of any existing technical data other than provided by the company or that within the public domain. Material changes have occurred subsequent to the author’s field examinations and the 2010 field examination undertaken by T. Barresi. The first material changed involved a change of ownership and the shares involved may be subject to escrow restrictions imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange (Paget News-release November 24, 2009).

The second material change involves an option agreement between Paget Minerals Corporation and Seymour Ventures Corporation (TSX-V: SEY) as announced in the November 18, 2010 News-release of Paget Minerals Corp.

6. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

The claim-group, which lies within the Omineca Mining District of north-central British Columbia, is situated 65 km northwest of the town of Mackenzie in the Swanell Mountains of the Omenica Ranges. The claim-group occurs within map-sheets 093N/9, 093O/5, and 093O/12 of the National Topographic System (NTS).The centre of the property is approximately at 438 000 E/615 000N Universe Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates in Zone 10, NAD83.

The property initially consisted of 22 contiguous claims that were staked on November 2, 2005 and October 29, 2007 as verified at Mineral Tenures Online BC at https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca:443/mtov/home.do

The writer assumes that the locations of the claim-posts and claim-lines were accomplished by GPS devices with the claim-lines blazed and flagged but his could not be verified, although a standard practice in the mineral industry.

The locations of all known mineral occurrences within the claim-block are presented in Figures 2 and 3b that comprise the Laura #1 Laura #2, Ursa, Will #1, Will #2 and Central rare-earth element occurrences. GPS data in the Universal Transverse Mercator system (UTM) on all samples collected can be found in Appendices 2, 4, and 5.

The Mount Bisson property is 100 % owned by Paget Minerals Corporation. However, an announcement in a November 18, 2010 News-release by the company indicated that Seymour Ventures Corp. can acquire a 60% interest in the Mount Bisson and Xeno properties by fullfilling terms of the joint venture agreement as detailed below. The property currently consists of 12 claims situated in the Omineca Mining Division northwest of the town of Mackenzie. Previously, Paget Minerals Corp., announced in a November 24, 2009 News-release of the acquisition of a 100% interest in 22 claims from Pembrook Mining Corp. ("Pembrook") covering 9,096 hectares located in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia, known as the Mt. Bisson Property. As consideration for the acquisition of a 100% ownership of the Property, Paget has agreed to issue 1,875,000 common shares to Pembrook within ten days of receiving TSX Venture Exchange approval to the letter agreement; these shares may be subject to escrow restrictions imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange. This transfer of shares in regards to the Paget Minerals Corp. - Pembrook Mining Corp. transaction has been effected (D. Volkert, Paget Minerals Corp., personal communication, February 15, 2011). There are no royalties, back-in rights, payments or other agreements and encumbrances to which the property is subject between Seymour and Paget

In addition, the Property shall be subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty (NSR) in favour of Pembrook. Paget shall be entitled to purchase, at any time, one half of the NSR by paying Pembrook the sum of $1,000,000.

The recent 60/40 joint venture agreement between Seymour and Paget was announced on November 18, 2010 in a Paget News-release: “Seymour will pay $62,500 and issue 100,000 common shares of Seymour to Paget upon receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. An additional $62,500 will be payable to Paget on the first, second and third anniversaries of the option, together with an additional 100,000, 150,000 and 200,000 common shares of Seymour, respectively. Pursuant to the option agreement, Seymour will be required to fund a $1,050,000 work program over 3

Page 15: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

15

years on the properties. Paget will retain a 100% interest in the properties until all of the above payments, work programs and share issuances are completed. In the event that Seymour exercises the option, a 60/40 joint venture is deemed to be created to further develop the properties, with each party contributing to their pro-rata portion of approved exploration programs. If either party decides not to contribute to the joint venture and is diluted down to a 10% interest, their interest will convert to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR), 1% of which may be purchased at the other party's option for $1,000,000.”

Mineral tenure status was checked by the author at Mineral Tenures Online BC at https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca:443/mtov/home.do with the information below as extracted from the an Excel file from this website and all claims are currently in good standing until February 24, 2012.

7. ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY

The Mount Bisson claim-group is situated in the Swannell Ranges of the Omineca Mountains physiographic region (Holland 1976) in north-central B.C. (Figure 1) and adjacent to the southeastern margins of the northern Rocky Mountain trench, the most striking physiographic feature of the region. The elevations within the claim-group vary from about 1600 m at the summit of Mount Bisson to about 1000 m at the lowest elevations at Munro Creek.

The claim-group is situated 65 km northwest of the town of Mackenzie and peripheral parts of the claim-group are readily accessible by a 120 km drive from via a network of generally well maintained, gravel base logging roads that infiltrate the region, i.e., the Mackenzie, Manson River, Munro Camp and Nation River forestry service roads.

The main service centre for the region is the town of Mackenzie with a population of 5,450 that is located within the Rocky Mountain Trench at the southern end of Williston Lake, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in North America. The town was named after the famous explorer Alexander Mackenzie, who camped near the town site on his journey to the Pacific in 1793. The economy of the town is mainly supported by two pulp and paper operations and by tourism.

The town of Mackenzie, at 701 m elevation, lies in the Northern and Central Plateaux and Mountains climatic zone that is marked by a range in January temperatures of -7 to -14 C and July temperatures of 8 to 20 C. Summers are short, generally cool with little precipitation.

The claim-group lies in the Subalpine Forest vegetation region in which the characteristic dominant species are Englemann spruce (Picea engelmannii), Alpine fir (Picea alpestris) and Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta).

The Ursa and M-12000 Road occurrences are readily accessible by logging roads. Access to the Laura #1 and #2 occurrences is not possible by road, however, a recent logging road that branches off the Munro Creek Road at UTM 438177E/6150313N (Zone 10) provides access within 2 km of these occurrences. Access to the Central occurrence can be gained by a 1 km traverse northeast from a recent logging road that ends on claim 522753 (Figure 3b). Helicopter service is available at Mackenzie and affords the best means of access to the higher elevations as around Mount Bisson that include the Laura occurrences. The nearest source of hydro-electric power is situated 120 km via road at Mackenzie. Power needed to support a mining project would thus require alternative energy sources such as diesel powered generators. The claim-block is quite hilly with a maximum relief of 600 m and thus only a few areas could support a mining operation such in the nearby Munro Creek Valley adjacent to Munro Camp. This area could also be utililized as a site for infrastructure for extraction of ore minerals and as a despository for tailings. A relatively flat ridge lies in the immediate area adjacent to the Laura occurrence near Mount Bisson and could support mining operations with development of a road east from the aforementioned logging road. However, processing of ore would require a nearby source of water, as in Munro Creek valley that is not available in sufficient volume in the area covered by this flat ridge. This valley would serve as potential waste disposal area for tailings. Several streams, such as the Manson River and its tributary Munro Creek, flow all year and could provide sources of water. Personnel required to run the mining operations could be hired in Mackenzie and Prince George. Esker deposits of sand and gravel are present in the area and may serve as

17

aggregate for road-building related to mineral development. The length of a normal field season runs from late June to late September as road access is impacted by snow cover especially at higher elevations.

8. HISTORY

Recorded mineral exploration in the area proximal to the Mount Bisson claim-group commenced with discovery of graphite at the Mon occurrence near Munro Creek by Halleran (1985). Rare-earth mineralization was subsequently discovered and staked in the Mount Bisson area in 1986 and 1987 by Halleran (1988a). The initial discovery was made at the Ursa occurrence on Munro Creek that was followed by further discoveries in 1987 at the Laura No.1 and No. 2 occurrences on the flanks of Mount Bisson (Halleran 1988b) and the Will No.1 and No. 2 occurrences, situated 7 km to the northwest near the Manson River, in 1988 (Halleran 1988c).

A prospector syndicate led by A. Halleran undertook detailed geological mapping, scintillometer surveys and soil sampling over four small grids and optioned the claim-groups to Chevron Minerals Limited (Halleran 1988b, c). Further geological mapping on the Laura grid was undertaken in 1989 (Halleran 1989). A summary of the geology, mineralogy and lab analytical work in regards to the five rare-earth mineral occurrences was presented in the 1989 annual fieldwork report of the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch (Halleran and Russell 1990). This work was funded in part by a fame grant of the BC government. The extensive work of Halleran on the Mount Bisson area rare-earth mineralization culminated in a M.Sc. thesis (Halleran 1991) and two peer-reviewed publications: Russell, Groat and Halleran (1994) and Halleran and Russell (1996). The analytical work undertaken by Halleran (1991, p. 29-56) from four rare-element occurrences produced 31 bulk rock compositions of grab samples augmented by 429 electron microprobe analysis of major rock-forming minerals (apatite, aegerine-augite, biotite, diopside-hedenbergite, hornblende, K-feldspar, plagioclase and titanite). These data include twelve electron microprobe compositions of the allanite subgroup of the epidote mineral group as defined by Giere and Sorenson 2004 and Armbruster 2006. The historical bulk rock composition data are given in Appendix 1 and summarized in Table 1. It should be noted that all samples selected during Halleran’s work are grab samples with no photographic documentation of the outcrops sampled. More detail on the results of the Chevron Minerals and A.A.D Halleran exploration work can be found in Table of section 9 and sections 11 and 12.

Exploration work on the rare-earth mineralization subsequently remained quiescent after 1989 except for a property examination by Leighton (1997) undertaken for the Argonauts Group Limited that involved a brief inspection of the geology and analyses of four grab rock samples from the Laura No.1 occurrence. These claims subsequently lapsed and were re-staked by Paget Minerals Corporation in 2005 and additional claims were added in 2007 that currently represent a group of 12 contiguous claims with a 100 percent ownership by the company.

During October 2 to 8, 2006 an airborne magnetic-radiometric survey was conducted over the property by Fugro Airborne Surveys Ltd. that involved 595 line-kilometres (see Section 21.1 for detailed information).

There has been no mining development or any historical resource estimates of any mineralization-type on the claim-group.

9. GEOLOGICAL SETTING

9.1 Regional geology

The Mount Bisson property is situated in the Ingenika group of the Omineca crystalline belt initially defined by Gabrielse (1975) and subsequently divided into four groups by Mansy and Gabrielse (1978). The Germansen Landing-Manson Creek area was the focus of a 4 year, 1:50 000 scale regional geological mapping project by Ferri and Melville (1988, 1989, 1994) and the southeast corner of this map area covers parts of claims 522746, 522747 and 522749 of the Mount Bisson property. This project also included stream sediment and bulk rock analysis and a revision of MINFILE mineral inventory of the area and available at http://www.em.gov.bc.ca/mining/GeolSurv/Minfile/ . Otherwise no government sponsored geological mapping has been undertaken on the rest of the claim-group since Tipper et al. (1974).

The Ingenika group is interpreted as Upper Proterozoic in age by Ferri and Melville (1988) and forms part of the Cassiar continental margin assemblage (Colpron, Nelson and Murphy 2006) that is part of a widespread zone of clastic metasedimentary rocks that stretches from southeastern British Columbia to the northwestern Yukon (Roots 1988). This assemblage represents crustal rocks displaced from the ancestral North American cratonic margin (Figure 1). In the project area, the Cassiar terrane comprises lithologies that were complexly deformed and subjected to regional metamorphism during the middle to Late Jurassic (Parrish 1979; Ferri and Melville 1994). The term “Wolverine Metamorphic Complex” was employed by Ferri and Melville (1988; 1994) in reference to a 5 to 50 by 150 km area of the Ingenika group rocks subjected to high-grade metamorphism and severe deformation such that protolith recognition is difficult or impossible. The term “Wolverine gneisses” will be used in this report in reference to the highly deformed and metamorphosed lithologies within this complex (Ferri and Melville, 1988, p. 4) that locally have been subjected to partial melting. The Ingenika group lies in structural contact to the west with the Slide Mountain terrane that is much lower in metamorphic grade. Granitic pegmatites of peraluminous composition and S-type characteristics (e.g., Breaks and Moore 1992) were plausibly generated during the middle Jurassic by partial melting of metawacke-metapelite protoliths of the Wolverine gneisses. These distinctively white pegmatites are deformed, generally subconcordant to the enclosing host rock foliation and exhibit boudinage and strong mineral stretching lineations. Peraluminous minerals indicative of S-type granitic magmatism, such as sillimanite, andalusite, garnet and tourmaline, are particularly prominent at locality 07-FWB-06. Plutons interpreted as Late Cretaceous age and younger were also delineated by (Ferri and Melville 1988; 1994, p. 54-55) and are widely emplaced in the Wolverine gneisses. These rocks, grouped into the Wolverine Range intrusive suite (Ferri and Melville 1994, p. 56) comprise batholiths, stocks and narrow dykes of massive and weakly foliated biotite granite and granodiorite and related pegmatite that commonly contain peraluminous minerals (muscovite and garnet). The largest member of this group is an 8 by 10 km pluton of biotite granite and granodiorite situated proximal to the Manson River that was delineated but unnamed by Ferri and Melville (1988). The author has given the name “Chamberland Creek pluton” to this mass that has a southern lobe situated within two km of the Wolverine pegmatite field (Figure 2). A U/Pb monazite age of 72.6±0.2 Ma was determined by Ferri and Melville (1994, p. 56).

Page 19: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

In vicinity of Mount Bisson, smaller masses of syenite, monzonite, quartz monzonite, diorite and quartz diorite, up to 0.8 by 3 km in size, occur adjacent to the Laura No. 1 and No. 2 occurrences (Figure 2) and were termed the “Mount Bisson intrusions” by Halleran (1991, p. 4). Similar rocks were encountered in the present work near the Manson River (locality 07-FWB-03) and about 2 km north of the Will No.1 and No.2 occurrences (localities 07-FWB-08, -10, -11 and -12). No absolute age determinations are available for these rocks and are regarded by Ferri and Melville (1994, p. 55) as Cretaceous or Tertiary in age. These plutons have been grouped into the Wolverine Range intrusive suite in this report.

The property and adjacent area comprise a diversity of rock-types that were examined during the field investigations between October 2 and 5, 2007, July 17 and 23, 2008 and July 2 to 15, 2010, along accessible roads and helicopter drop-offs. The lithologies encountered include the Wolverine gneisses and later intrusive rocks. Three of the historical rare-earth element occurrences (Ursa, Laura #1 and #2) were examined coupled with discoveries of a rare-earth element-mineralized pegmatite system at locality 07-FWB-08 along the M-12000 Road (see M-12000 Road occurrence) by the author and at the Central occurrence in 2010 by T. Barresi. The M12000 Road occurrence, discovered in 2007 by the author, originally was situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. This occurrence now lies on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do The author cautions that the rare-earth element mineralization at this occurrence is not necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-group. The author also cautions that the Central Occurrence was not examined by a qualified person in 2010 in regards to Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101. Under this section, the property is classified as an “early stage exploration property”. Seasonal

weather conditions (snow cover) prevented the author from accessing the property and obtaining surface samples at the time of the request from the issuer and therefore the issuer will request that a site examination be undertaken by the author in the 2011 field season. Location data for all sample sites are provided using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) co-ordinates for Zone 10 in North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) that utilized a Garmin 76 GPS unit. A tabulation of all localities in which samples were sent to commercial laboratories for bulk analysis or for electron microprobe analysis at The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, is given in Appendices 2 and 4 and. The locations of all samples are also shown in Figures 3a, 3b, 10, and 15. The bulk rock chemical data was processed with the Geochemical Data Toolkit (GCD kit) that is petrogenetic software freely available at http://www.gla.ac.uk/gcdkit/ (Janousek, Farrow and Erban 2006). The chemical variation of the rare-earth elements was mainly assessed with chondrite-normalized plots calculated by the reference standard of Boynton (1984). The chondrite-normalized ratios La/YbN and Eu/Eu* are respectively employed to reveal the degree of the rare-earth element fractionation and the extent of repletion/depletion of europium. The ensuing text will now provide detailed field, petrographic and mineralogical features of all lithological groups encountered. Fourteen thin-sections from zones of rare-earth element mineralization were selected for Cameca SX-100 electron microprobe analysis and generation of X-Ray maps. These data comprise 1179 mineral compositions that are given in Appendices 3, 5 and 6 along with analytical conditions and standards used for the probe work and details of the X-Ray map procedure. The probe work was designed as a pilot project at the Department of Earth Sciences of The Open University to determine if such data could facilitate exploration of rare-earth elements in the study area.

9.2.1 Wolverine Metasedimentary Gneisses

This group comprise the most abundant rock types in the area investigated and are exposed at 80 percent of the localities in Figure 3. The most common lithologies comprise:

clastic metasedimentary rocks (quartz arenite, wacke and metapelite), calcium-rich metasedimentary rocks (marble, calc-silicate rocks and calcareous

metapelites and wackes), and,

diorite and quartz diorite gneiss.

Thin layers of amphibolite of unknown derivation are interlayered with calc-silicate rocks such as at the Ursa rare-earth element occurrence.

9.2.1.1 Metawacke, Metapelite and Related Migmatites

Excellent exposures of clastic metasedimentary rocks occur at locality 07-FWB-06 where a freshly blasted section reveals typical Wolverine metasedimentary gneiss (Photo 1).

Photo 1. Good exposure of highly deformed and locally migmatized clastic metasedimentary rocks on the Munro Camp Road. Arrow on the right side indicates a dyke of peraluminous, S-type pegmatitic granite that is discordant to host-rock foliation and yet has been subjected to ductile deformation along its contact.

The outcrop consists of strongly foliated and lineated biotite and garnet-biotite metawacke and biotite-sillimanite metapelite that locally reveal low leucosome-fraction partial melt features. Here, metatexite contains thin, deformed leucosomes oriented concordant and at low angles to the dominant foliation of the mesosome host. Similarly, partially melted, sillimanite-bearing metawacke and metapelite were encountered at 07-FWB-08 on the M-12000 Road and a high degree of flattening of leucosomes is notable in the sillimanite-rich metapelite host-rocks such that the granite leucosome and mesosome

Page 25: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

25

constituents of the migmatite become blurred and may only be clearly distinguished on rock slabs etched with hydrofluoric acid and stained for K-feldspar.

The clastic metasedimentary constituent contains white weathering granitic pegmatite masses that are generally subconcordant or modestly discordant to the host rock foliation but yet reveal evidence of overprinting deformation along the pegmatite contacts or by foliations that refract across such bodies (Photo 1). These rocks are described in more detail below (see Peraluminous, S-Type granitic pegmatites).

Figure 4. Chondrite-normalized REE plot for various clastic metasedimentary rocks from the Wolverine gneisses.

Clastic metasedimentary rocks of the area reveal chondrite patterns that are mostly confined to a band with total rare-earth elements in the range 162 to 199 ppm (Figure 4). These modestly negatively sloping patterns (12.7<La/YbN<28.1) compare closely with the average post-Archean Australian shale composite (PAAS) of Taylor and McLennan (1985) that is a good estimate of the average upper continental crust composition.

Only one sample (148674: sillimanite-biotite metapelite) at locality 07-FWB-16 contains anomalous rare-earth element concentrations (756 ppm) that depart from the otherwise tight compositional cluster of the other clastic metasedimentary rocks. The mineral repositories of the rare-earth elements are not known but these could include monazite.

9.2.1.2 Quartz Arenite and Quartz-rich Metawacke

These rock types, described by Ferri and Melville (1988, 1994), are abundant to the west of the marble-calc-silicate rock band in Figure 2 but were only observed at locality 07-FWB-15. Here, layers, 5 to 30 cm thick, are tectonically layered with garnet-biotite metawacke and sillimanite-biotite metapelite (Photo 2).

Photo 2. Highly tectonized layers of buff coloured quartz arenite (towards left side of photo) within a dominant, dark brown sillimanite-biotite metapelite at locality 07-FWB-15.

9.2.1.3 Calcium-rich Clastic Metasedimentary Rocks

Rocks that comprise this unit were only found at locality 07-FWB-17 where a garnet-quartz-hedenbergite-plagioclase rock, interpreted as a calcium-rich metawacke, is layered with potassic feldspar-rich bands that conceivably represent meta-arkose. Minor amounts of fluorapatite, titanite and allanite were also confirmed in thin section and by electron microprobe analysis.

Late fracture-controlled alteration, locally with quartz-rich lenticles, transects the foliation at this locality and indicates that breakdown of K-feldspar and hedenbergite occurred in these domains. Such bands post-date formation of the allanite as micro-fractures related to this deformation event slice through some grains of this mineral.

9.2.1.4 Calc-Silicate Rocks and Marble

These rocks are mainly confined to a southeast-striking band, up to 200 metres wide, that was delineated by Ferri and Melville (1988). This unit is traceable for at least 10 km from the Chamberland Creek pluton on the north to beyond the southeastern limits of their map-area. Elsewhere, calc-silicate rocks and calcite marble were encountered as small outcrops (e.g., locality 07-FWB-01) or as layers up

Page 27: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

27

to 3 metres in thickness within a dominant clastic metasedimentary host as at localities 07-FWB-04 and -17. The mineralogy consists of calcite, plagioclase, diopside, phlogopite, and minor garnet, epidote, and pyrite. Diopside is a characteristic mineral and can compose up to 60 percent of the mode.

The Ursa rare-earth element pegmatite is situated within the mid-part of the calc-silicate band at Munro Creek where a diopside-biotite-calcite-plagioclase unit is dominant and locally layered with thin amphibolite. Diopside-rich skarn envelopes are conspicuous at this locality adjacent to a granitic pegmatite that has subjected to severe ductile deformation and late discordant biotite- and hornblende-bearing, medium-grained granite dykes.

9.2.1.5 Migmatized Tonalite and Quartz Diorite

Rocks of this map unit consist of tonalite and quartz diorite that have been subjected to high strain and intense migmatization. These rocks occur at localities 07-FWB-13, -14 and -18 and proximal to the Laura occurrence where these are widely distributed. Near the Munro Creek at locality 07-FWB-13, a 0.6 by 0.8 km mass was included in the “Mount Bisson intrusions” by Halleran and Russell (1990, p. 298).

These migmatites are characterized by compositional layering marked by light pink, coarse-grained to pegmatitic, granite and syenite leucosomes, 1 to 5 cm in thickness, that have been severely flattened such that rootless, intrafolial, isoclinal folds and shear bands are commonly evident. Some areas of the quartz diorite mesosome have undergone hornblende porphyroblastesis that imparts a coarsening to the host of the leucosome layers (Photo 3). There is no absolute age determination for these complex rocks, however, given the high state of deformation and migmatization, such material could represent slivers of granitic basement to the Wolverine metasedimentary gneisses that were thrust into the metamorphic complex. However, no contact relations with the enclosing Wolverine metasedimentary rocks were observed. The migmatized quartz diorite to tonalite rocks are intruded by white, relatively massive, biotite-bearing, granitic pegmatitic leucogranite of probable S-type, peraluminous derivation, as at locality 07-FWB-14, where enclaves of the migmatized quartz diorite were noted.

Page 28: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

9.2.2 Felsic to Intermediate Intrusive Rocks

Lithologies of this category are abundantly distributed in the area and comprise two groups.

9.2.2.1 Peraluminous, S-type Granitic Pegmatites

Granitic pegmatites of this category consist of pegmatitic leucogranite and potassic pegmatite in the pegmatitic granite classification of Černý and Meintzer (1988). The presence of strongly peraluminous accessory mineralogy such as andalusite, sillimanite, garnet and tourmaline, as exemplified by locality 07-FWB-06, in the context of a high grade clastic metasedimentary setting, supports a S-type origin for these granitoid rocks. Similar granitic pegmatites are widespread in high grade, clastic metasedimentary-dominant subprovinces in the Superior Province of Ontario as observed and delineated by the author (Breaks 1991; Breaks and Moore 1992; Breaks, Selway and Tindle 2005 and 2006).

These pegmatites are modestly to intensely deformed (Photo 1) and marked by a cataclastic, protomylonite texture and a quartz mineral stretching lineation. These pegmatite masses may have been emplaced during several anatectic events prior to a final overprint of ductile deformation.

At the Ursa rare-earth element occurrence, an internally zoned potassic pegmatite is poorly exposed (henceforth named the “Ursa pegmatite”) but appears to be concordant to the foliation of host rocks that consist of calc-silicate metasedimentary rocks layered with amphibolite, as surmised from very limited rock exposure.

Page 29: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

Figure 5. Chondrite-normalized REE plot for peraluminous, S-type granitic pegmatites of the Mount Bisson area. These rocks are severely depleted in rare-earth elements with the range of total rare-earth elements of 37.6 to 54.3 ppm (Figure 5). Such values are approximately 0.3 to 0.5 times the upper continental crustal average (140 ppm: Taylor and McLennan 1985). A similar degree of rare-earth element depletion is typical of Archean S-type pegmatitic granites of the Quetico subprovince of Ontario (Breaks, Selway and Tindle 2008).

The rare-earth element chondrite patterns are typically flat to modestly negatively sloping (3.5<La/YbN<29.3) and are characteristically marked by positive europium anomalies (1.08<Eu/Eu*<2.76) due to retention of Eu2+ by feldspar-rich rocks such as these.

Rocks of this category are generally not good candidates for achieving economic concentrations of the rare-earth elements because of their very low calcium content.

9.2.2.2 Wolverine Range Intrusive Suite

This lithologic group is dominated in the immediate area by the 78.2 ±2 Ma Chamberland Creek pluton (Figure 2). Related dykes and were encountered at several localities in the area as proximal to the southeastern flanks of the pluton as along the Manson River Forestry Service Road (e.g., locality 07-FWB-02). Here, white weathered, massive, predominantly medium-grained, biotite granite is exposed. Sporadic garnet and K-feldspar megacrysts up to 1 cm diameter occur in the granite that is later transected by fracture-controlled chlorite and hematite alteration. Halos of retrograde alteration, marked by chlorite replacement of biotite, are evident up to 1 cm from these fractures.

Two identical masses, respectively 0.3 by 1.5 and 0.3 by 0.6 km in surface dimensions, were encountered proximal to the Laura rare-earth element occurrence and comprise part of this intrusive

Page 30: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

30

suite (Figure 2).Similar dykes of biotite granite, which intrude the Wolverine gneisses, were found at localities 07-FWB-03, -05 and -16, and 08-FWB-07.

At the Ursa rare-earth element occurrence, post-tectonic, planar dykes of biotite granite sharply intrude its calc-silicate host-rocks where 5 to 10 cm thick skarn rinds are obvious and dominated by coarse-grained, bright green diopside (60-70 %).

9.2.3 Mafic to Intermediate Intrusive Rocks

Rocks of this unit are relatively minor in abundance and mostly confined to the M-12000 Road intrusive complex that includes the area around the Will #1 occurrence.

9.2.3.1 M12000 Road Intrusive Complex

Rocks of this mass, which was not comprehensively delineated by this work, occur along the M-12000 Road at localities 07-FWB-08, -10, -11 and -12 (Figure 3b) and proximal to the Will # 2 occurrence at localities 08-FWB-02 and -06 (Figure 14). This intrusive complex is at least 3 by 5 km and consists of biotite-diopside-hornblende diorite, quartz diorite and sparse quartz monzonite that contain sparse mafic to ultramafic plutonic enclaves.

Small amounts of allanite, titanite, diopside, epidote, rutile, magnetite, ilmenite, zircon and pyrite were observed in thin section and confirmed by electron microprobe work in the majority of rock types of this complex (see M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrence in Section 17.2).

Isolated exposures of massive, white weathering, biotite granite at localities 07-FWB-09, 07-FWB-12 and 08-FWB-07 are petrographically identical to the Chamberland Creek pluton and represent dykes or small stocks that cut the M-12000 Road intrusive complex.

The chondrite REE patterns (Figure 6) are generally modestly sloping (7.2<La/YbN<29) and usually with small positive europium anomalies (0.98<Eu/Eu*<1.6). Sporadic K2O-rich ultramafic enclaves, mineralized with chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and scheelite, have a higher content of total rare-earth elements (240 ppm) than a sample of a similar rock selected a small distance from the mineralized zone (72 ppm). The highest total rare-earth element value occurs in a biotite-clinopyroxene-hornblende diorite (528 ppm) and is petrographically similar to titanite-diopside-hornblende diorite at the M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrence.

Page 31: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

9.2.3.2 Lamprophyre Dykes

A one-metre thick, fine-grained, undeformed, pyrite-hornblende-biotite lamprophyre dyke cuts across calc-silicate and metawacke units at locality 07-FWB-04. The rock has a panidiomorphic granular texture marked by 20% randomly oriented biotite laths that are enveloped by plagioclase and rare quartz phenocrysts up to 2 mm diameter. Accessories include epidote, allanite, apatite and titanite.

The bulk rock chemistry suggests a lamprophyric affinity with the elevated K2O, Ba, Sr and total rare-earth elements and modest fractionation of the LREE (Appendix 2). The chondrite rare-earth element plot, with gently sloping negative curves (La/YbN = 24.4 to 30.2) bear a similarity to lamprophyres that occur elsewhere, as for example, the Cretaceous camptonites of northwestern Namibia (Roex and Lanyon 1998).

10. DEPOSIT TYPES

The rare-earth mineralized granitic pegmatites of the Wolverine field belong to the NYF geochemical family (Nb-Y-F) and were classified by Černý (2005) and Ercit (2005) as Abyssal class, AB-LREE-subclass.This deposit type is currently the sole target of the proposed exploration program. The granite-related, rare-earth element mineralization in the Wolverine pegmatite field occurs in three distinct geological settings and hence no singular exploration model is applicable:

post-tectonic, quartz-rich, calc-alkaline pegmatite vein system hosted in diorite and quartz diorite (M-12000 Road occurrence),

Page 32: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

32

S-type, peraluminous granite and pegmatite hosted in calc-silicate units of Wolverine gneiss (Ursa occurrence), and,

contact skarn mineralization layered with I-type, syenite, syenogranite, and trondhjemite of the 72.6±0.2 Ma Wolverine Range intrusive suite (Laura # 1, #2 and Pegmatite 541 occurrences and possibly the Central occurrence).

Future exploration should focus upon the particular rare-earth element-lithologic association and inferred genetic history as summarized below:

Ursa Rare-Earth Mineralization Type

At the Ursa occurrence, relatively early, ductily deformed, weakly peraluminous to metaluminous granitic pegmatites of plausible S-type origin contain local concentrations of allanite in border zones that contact calc-silicate and marble host-rocks. Skarn selvedges of contact metamorphic origin are characteristic of the pegmatites of this group and typically are diopside-rich with sparse garnet, epidote, and scheelite.

Exploration for this type of rare-earth element mineralization should focus upon delineation of peraluminous pegmatitic granite intrusions that have elevated calcium contents and characterized by diopside, titanite, epidote and allanite due to interaction with calc-silicate host-rocks.

Laura Rare-Earth Mineralization Type

The second type of rare-earth element mineralization is exemplified by the Laura and Pegmatite 541 occurrences that are inferred to be genetically related to the 72.6±0.2 Ma Wolverine Range intrusive suite. Here, masses of allanite-titanite-plagioclase-diopside skarn are interlayered with allanite-diopside sodic pegmatite, and medium-grained, quartz-bearing syenite, syenodiorite, monzogranite and trondhjemite along the contact zone with the Wolverine gneiss. Such metaluminous to weakly peraluminous rocks have similarities to volcanic arc granitic rocks in terms of trace element classification schemes that involve high field strength elements (HFSE) such as Ta, Nb, and Y (Pearce, Harris and Tindle 1984). The Central Occurrence is currently of undetermined genetic affiliation but may be related to the Laura occurrence situated 3.6 km to the SE. Further field examination is required to define whether a genetic relationship exists between the Laura and Central occurrences.

Skarn mineralization that contains allanite appears widespread on global basis as inferred from an internet search of relevant publications. In contrast, allanite is relatively sparse in carbonatite intrusions, silica-undersatured alkaline intrusive rocks (Plimer 1993) and quartz-bearing granitic rocks enriched in alkali metals (e.g., Rodeo de los Molles REE-Th deposit, Argentina: Lira and Ripley 1991).

The Mary-Kathleen U-REE deposit in Australia exemplifies an association of allanite with a diopside-rich, calcic skarn spatially associated with the endoskarns related to the 1.7Ga Burstall granite (Page 1982; Oliver 1995; Australian Geoscience: http:// www.ga.gov.au/image_cache/GA3785.pdf ). The formation of this deposit, however, is interpreted as a later event related to regional metamorphism, ductile shearing and hydrothermal mobilization (Maas et al. 1987).

During 1958 to 1982, 9.5 million tonnes of ore that averaged 0.13 wt.% U3O8 were mined and this development included 200, 000 tonnes of allanite-rich ore with an average grade of 2.6 wt.% total REE (Plimer 1993). The author, however, is unable to verify the information in relation to the tonnage and average grade of the Mary-Kathleen U-REE deposit and therefore these data are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Mount Bisson claim-group that is the subject of this technical report.

Page 33: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

33

Mineralization of a possibly similar style occurs at Hoidas Lake in the Rae Province in northern Saskatchewan, where rare-earth elements, present in allanite and apatite, are associated with a diopside-rich skarn contained within a shear zone called the Hoida-Nisikkatch fault (Gunning and Card 2005).

Rare-earth element mineralization of probable skarn affiliation and associated with calc-silicate, paragneiss and mafic metavolcanic rocks are also known in northern Quebec where veins enriched in allanite occur at the Lataille showing. Samples of Madore et al. (2002) and Labbe et al. (2003) returned an average of 0.25 wt % total REE and with a maximum content of 1.59 wt.%. Halleran (1991) interpreted the metasomatism and origin of the rare-earth element mineralization at the Laura occurrence as due to alkalic intrusive activity and related fenitization. However, data in present work (electron microprobe analysis and lithochemistry) have thus far indicated a complete absence of minerals and rock types that substantiate the presence of fenitization such as aegerine-augite, arfvedsonite group, and riebeckite group. Fenitization is commonly linked to undersaturated, alkaline intrusive rocks such as nepheline syenite, ijolite and urtite or to carbonatite masses (Bell 1989) and these two lithologic groups were not observed on the property. Evidence of metasomatism and rare-earth element enrichment due to interaction with pegmatite-forming fluids was, however, noted along the contact of Pegmatite 541 near the Laura occurrence where diorite of the Wolverine gneiss host-rocks contains a notable increase in diopside, titanite and allanite at the partial expense of hornblende.

Exploration should closely examine the contact zones between plutons of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite and the Wolverine metasedimentary gneisses, particularly where interleaved calc-silicate units are involved that could generate skarn mineralization through magmatic interaction.

M-12000 Road Rare-Earth Mineralization Type The M-12000 Road occurrence constitutes the third rare-earth element mineralization type documented in this work. This occurrence was originally situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. This occurrence now lies on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do The author cautions that the rare-earth element mineralization at this occurrence is not necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-group. The showing consists of vein systems of undeformed, quartz-rich, titanite-diopside calc-alkaline pegmatite (2-3 m width and exposed over 5 m minimum strike length) hosted within lineated, titanite-hornblende diorite and quartz diorite. The mafic rocks, in turn, are contained within migmatized and highly deformed clastic metasedimentary rocks. A distinctive green metasomatic aureole is symmetrically deposed along the vein margins and comprises titanite-diopside enrichment in hornblende quartz diorite that is evident along the flanks of the pegmatite veins. Elevated total REE contents up to 1463 ppm, with the highest yttrium (124 ppm) and total HREE values (123 ppm), were found in grab samples from the occurrence. Epidote, titanite and vesuvianite reveal enrichment in Y2O3 up to 3.5 wt.%. The close geochemical similarity of yttrium with some of the HREE’s such as holmium and gadolinium (Samson and Wood 2005) suggests that exploration potential exists in the immediate area of this occurrence for such elements

Page 34: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

34

Exploration is recommended that targets mafic and intermediate plutonic rocks of the M-12000 Road intrusive complex in the northern part of the claim-group at least to further delineate this new type of rare-earth element mineralization type which is entirely open in strike length.

11. MINERALIZATION

The Mount Bisson claim-group contains two mineral deposit types and both were examined by the author:

Cu-W-Ag in mafic intrusive rocks (Manson River East Occurrence), and,

Rare-earth element mineralization hosted in diverse lithologies at four localities. Grab samples were collected from various localities and those destined for analysis consisted of fresh pieces of bedrock collected over representative areas of a given outcrop. Between 0.5 and 21 kg of rock material was selected and the sample size was dependent upon grain size. For coarse-grained to pegmatite units, larger amounts were collected and up to 21 kg. All samples selected for analysis were homogeneous with respect to grain size at the collection site. The author is not aware of any sampling factors that could impact the accuracy and reliability of the chemical data. However, the author cautions that grab samples are by nature selective and therefore may not represent average grades. The mineralization at the Manson River East Occurrence and the M12000 Road occurrences were situated on claim of the Mount Bisson claim-group when the author conducted field work for Paget Minerals Corp in 2007 and 2008. As these mineral occurrences now exist on property adjacent to the Seymour claim-group, the detailed description of the mineralization has been transferred to “Adjacent Properties” in Section 17. The author cautions that the mineralization at these occurrences is not necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-group.

The rare-earth element mineralization in the Wolverine pegmatite field exposed on the claim-group occurs in two distinct local geological settings and hence no singular deposit model is applicable:

Laura #1, #2, Pegmatite 541 and Central occurrences: granitic to syenitic intrusive rocks and related pegmatite that are interlayered with allanite-diopside-rich skarns ostensibly controlled by the contact between the 72.6±0.2 Ma Wolverine Range intrusive suite and highly deformed diorite gneiss and calc-silicate rocks of the Wolverine gneiss unit, and

Ursa occurrence: peraluminous, deformed, S-type pegmatitic granite hosted in calc-silicate and

psammitic-metapelitic metasedimentary rocks of the Ingenika group.

The allanite subgroup [(Ca,Ce,Y)2 (Al,Fe3+)3Si3O12(OH)] of the epidote group is the main rare-earth element mineral of economic interest although subordinate concentrations of the rare-earth elements can occur in coexisting titanite, fluorapatite and epidote. Electron microprobe analyses of allanite from rare-earth element occurrences near Mount Bisson reveal an average La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 of 20.3 wt.% and low to modest contents of deleterious elements such as ThO2 and UO2. A summary of mean contents and ranges for ∑REE and Y from various occurrences examined by the author is presented below and compared to historical data.

Page 35: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

35

The Laura #1 and Pegmatite 541 represent the main REE occurrences on the Mount Bisson property. The mineralization is sporadically exposed in an ovoid area, which has an approximate diameter of 60 metres, and hosted in metadiorite of the Wolverine gneissic complex, quartz syenite and trondhjemite of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite and metasomatized quartzo-feldspathic rocks of unknown derivation (Halleran and Russell 1989; Halleran 1991 and this work). Several discordant, northwest- and northeast-striking, allanite-bearing pegmatite dykes, between 1 and 4 metres width and with a minimum strike length of 30 m, were mapped by Halleran (1991). It is possible that Pegmatite 541 represents one of these dykes. The REE mineralization at these occurrences is plausibly affiliated with relatively undeformed, I-type granitic magmatic rocks of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite. Thirty-one grab rock samples selected by Halleran (1991) revealed an overall mean value of 1.72 wt.% ∑REE within a range of 0.11 to 13.5 wt.% (Table 1). The author found lower mean values and ranges of the rare-earth elements, however, only 5 samples were collected from the Laura #1 and Pegmatite 541. The mineralized zones are difficult to trace due to sporadic exposures that are obscured by vegetation. Hence, evaluation of the width, strike length, depth and REE and Y content of the mineralization requires extensive trenching. The Ursa occurrence is poorly exposed and confined to a single 1.5 by 2 metre outcrop along the Munro Creek Road. Halleran and Russell (1989) stated that the pegmatite was 1 to 2m in width over a strike length of 10m thus it is conceivable that later road-building or soil slumping along the steep northern side of the road may have obscured the original outcrops. The mineralization occurs in an allanite-titanite-biotite-bearing, zoned potassic pegmatite that has undergone extensive ductile, mylonitic deformation and lies concordant to its amphibolite-calc-silicate metasedimentary host-rocks. The mineralization consists of black allanite and orange titanite that is mainly confined to a narrow, plagioclase-rich border zone (667 ppm total REE) attendant to a diopside-rich skarn selvedge in calc-silicate host-rocks. The biotite potassic pegmatite core zone contains anomalous but a lower total REE content (370 ppm). Only low amounts of ∑REE and Y were revealed in the author’s three grab samples. Mechanical stripping is needed to better expose the mineralization. The Central rare-earth element occurrence consists of an undeformed, coarse-grained, melanocratic pod with 40-50 modal percent of fresh, dark brown allanite and subordinate diopside, quartz, apatite,

11.1.1 Ursa Occurrence

The Ursa REE occurrence consists of white, highly deformed, mildly peraluminous granitic pegmatites that are hosted in an interlayered sequence of calc-silicate rocks, metapelite and amphibolite. The main exposure along the Munro Creek Road consists of an internally zoned pegmatite, marked by a calcic plagioclase-rich border zone, 1 to 10 cm wide, which plausibly grades into a main central mass of biotite potassic pegmatite (Photo 4). Continuous exposure between the zones was not observed, however, angular boulders of the border zone unit, displaced by road excavation, were evident within a few meters of the main outcrop. An intricate vein network with diopside-rich skarn assemblages are evident in the host-rocks near the Ursa pegmatite and are most conspicuous in amphibolite layers (Photo 5). The mineralogy of these

Page 37: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

37

zoned skarn veins mainly consists of diopside and plagioclase with minor garnet, epidote and rare, possible scheelite as suggested by short wave ultraviolet light examination. This skarn vein network post-dates thin, highly deformed, allanite-bearing granitic stringers that are likely related to the Ursa pegmatite.

Photo 4. Small exposure of the potassic pegmatite core zone at the Ursa REE occurrence. The rock is strongly deformed and exhibits a strong mineral stretching lineation in quartz and augen-shaped K-feldspar megacrysts. The lineation is parallel to the faint black line on the right part of outcrop.

Photo 5. Quartz-plagioclase<<diopside skarn vein system hosted in amphibolite and interlayered calc-silicate metasedimentary rocks at the Ursa occurrence. Strike of lithological layering is approximately parallel to long edge of photo with moderate dip towards the reader. The border zone lies in sharp intrusive contact with a 5 to 30 cm thick, contact metamorphic skarn envelope characterized by abundant medium- to coarse-grained diopside (Photo 6). The border zone itself is composed of approximately 98 modal percent of coarse calcic plagioclase. Low amounts of coarse diopside, fine- to medium-grained black allanite (Photos 6 and 7), orange-brown titanite and rare pargasite occur in the border zone. Both internal zones exhibit a strong mineral stretching lineation, especially by elongation of grey, recrystallized pencils of quartz (Photo 4). K-feldspar and plagioclase megacrysts have augen shapes typical of protomylonites. Post-tectonic, planar dykes of titanite-biotite-hornblende granite sharply transect the foliation of interlayered amphibolite and calc-silicate metasedimentary units near the Ursa pegmatite (Photo 9).

11.1.1.1 Mineral and Lithochemistry

The higher allanite and titanite content relative to the main potassic pegmatite zone is reflected in the lithochemical data (Table 3). The allanite-titanite-plagioclase border zone contains the highest ∑REE content found in this work at the Ursa occurrence (∑REE = 667 ppm).The potassic pegmatite core unit contains a lower but anomalous level of ∑REE= 370 ppm, however, a related origin of the two zones is evident in the nearly identical patterns in the chondrite plots that reveal strong fractionation (197<La/YbN<206) and a modest negative europium anomaly (0.66<Eu/Eu*<0.72). The post-tectonic biotite granite dykes are relatively depleted in rare-earth elements (86 to 95 ppm) and strongly contrast in a much flatter chondrite pattern (6.2<La/YbN<7.1) and a very deep negative europium anomaly (0.18<Eu/Eu*<0.22). The chemical data also infer that there was little transference of the rare-earth elements from the pegmatite into the skarn envelope (Figure 8).

Figure 8. Chondrite-normalized REE plot for calc-silicate metasedimentary rocks of the Wolverine gneisses in the Mount Bisson area. The calc-silicate metasedimentary units in general exhibit a tight cluster of modestly sloping curves (12.7<La/YbN<31.3) in the chondrite plot (Figure 8) with total rare-earth element contents that closely compare with the average upper continental crust of Taylor and McLennan (1985). Only the calcite marble from locality 07-FWB-01 departs from this cluster due to the much lower siliciclastic component in the rock (bulk rock = 5.96 wt. % Al2O3 for marble versus 12.3 to 16.5 wt.% Al2O3 for the calc-silicate rocks; see also Appendix 2) and corresponding lower amounts of rare-earth elements. The Al2O3 content in marbles is a useful monitor of siliciclastic input into calcareous sedimentary basins and has been proposed as a component of a ternary classification by Easton (1995).

11.1.2 Laura Occurrence

This occurrence is situated along the flanks of a 100 to 300 m by 2.7 km, NE-SW-oriented linear magnetic anomaly with intensities that vary between 57,800 and 57,920 nT (Luckman 2006). The area is the locus for several granitic plutons of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite (Ferri and Melville 1994). The main rock types within 500 m of the Laura occurrence consist of massive to foliated medium- to coarse-grained biotite and hornblende-biotite granite, titanite-diopside granitic pegmatite of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite (Photo 10) and strongly deformed and metamorphosed biotite-hornblende diorite. The latter rock type constitutes the dominant unit of the Wolverine gneissic complex in this area. Halleran (AR 19404, 1989) apparently described many of these rocks as amphibolite. All sample sites are presented in Figure 9.

Photo 10. View highly fractured magnetite-allanite-titanite-biotite granite at sample site 926524 in the smaller of two plutons of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite near Mount Bisson. The Laura occurrence is sporadically exposed and the allanite-rich zones generally lie subparallel to the foliation surface. As the outcrops do not expose sections normal to this foliation, establishment of several trenches across the zone may provide insight into the structural controls of the mineralization. The rock types consist of modestly magnetic, foliated and lineated, medium-to coarse-grained, white to rust-stained, quartz-bearing, syenite, syenogranite, monzonite, monzogranite, granodiorite and trondhjemite (Figure 10). Intrusive contact with the host diorite was observed only in one locality and suggests metasomatic interaction with syenite.

Varietal and accessory minerals comprise magnetite, fluorapatite, allanite, titanite, hornblende and diopside. The rock compositions are dominantly metaluminous in the Shand A/NK vs A/CNK molar plot and there is no mineralogical evidence for silica undersaturation in the granitic rocks that would result in appearance of diagnostic minerals such as nepheline and absence of quartz. The pegmatite layers contain coarse hornblende, up to 5 by 15cm, that exhibit replacement by veins and patches of titanite-plagioclase-diopside skarn-like assemblages. Allanite occurs as glossy black, euhedral, platy crystals up to 15 mm in sections approximately normal to the a-axis (Photo 20). Identification of diopside as the widespread, deep-green mineral rather than aegerine-augite and allanite as the chief rare-earth element phase was confirmed electron microprobe work (Appendix 5). Aegerine-augite was not found in any of the samples analyzed by the electron microprobe.

11.1.2.1 Lithochemistry

Fourteen bulk rock samples (Figure 9 and Appendix 4) were collected over a 0.5 by 0.8 kilometre area that corresponds to the central to southeastern parts of the circa 1988 grid area of Halleran (AR 19404, 1989). Amongst the allanite-bearing granitic and pegmatitic rocks, there is a bimodal distribution in K2O (4.91 to 6.67 wt.%) and Na2O (6.08 to 7.22 wt. %) contents (Figure 10) that is both evident at the grid and individual outcrop scales. The Laura #1 occurrence reveals that interlayered compositions rich in K2O (6.67 wt.%) and Na2O (7.22 wt.%) coexist at the outcrop scale, as exemplified by samples 926520 and 926521. The K2O-rich layer contains significantly higher total REE (1466 ppm) relative to that enriched in Na2O-rich layer (518 ppm). The samples revealed a wide range in ∑REE content (Appendix 4: 18 ppm to 7429 ppm). The highest value was documented in a diopside-rich skarn with local domains rich in glossy black allanite (Appendix 4: sample 926540). Syenitic rocks that are layered with diopside-rich skarn assemblages, such as the foliated, rusty weathered, titanite-biotite-diopside syenite (sample 926520; Photo 11) also contain anomalous ∑REE (867 to 1466 ppm). Yttrium contents from the sample collection are generally low and in the range 8.7 to 36.8 ppm. In the SiO2 vs K2O/Na2O diagram of Ray and Webster (1991), the allanite-rich skarn composition plots nearest to pluton compositions that are related to Cu and U-REE skarn mineralization, although more bulk composition data from the Laura allanite-bearing skarns are required for further assessment. The granitic and syenitic rocks from the Laura occurrence are characterized by average values of Ba (2898 ppm) and Sr (1513 ppm) that are significantly higher than respective values found in granitic rocks at greater distance and within the NW part of the 1988 grid area (Ba = 1847 ppm; Sr = 752 ppm). Maximum levels of Ba (7025 ppm) and Sr (3726 ppm) were found in titanite-biotite-diopside syenite (sample 926520 in Appendix 4). Magnetite-allanite-titanite-biotite granite from the smaller of the two Wolverine Range suite plutons (Figure 2), situated 0.45 km SE of the Laura occurrence (Appendix 4: sample 926524), has elevated levels of total REE (669 ppm), and Ba (4418 ppm) and Sr (765 ppm) levels that fall within the range of both elements at the Laura occurrence.

Figure 10. SiO2 versus K2O/Na2O for granitic and pegmatitic rocks from the Laura grid in comparison to the average compositions of plutons from British Columbia associated with various types of skarn mineralization (Ray and Webster 1991). The dashed line represents interlayered syenite-trondhjemite compositions (926520 and 926521) at the Laura REE occurrence. Average composition of the 1.7 Ga Burstall pluton associated with U-REE skarn mineralization at the Mary-Kathleen deposit was extracted from Australian Geoscience: http://www.ga.gov.au/image_cache/GA3785.pdf The author, however, is unable to verify the information in relation to the tonnage and average grade of the Mary-Kathleen U-REE deposit and therefore these data are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Mount Bisson claim-group that is the subject of this technical report. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns for the Laura occurrence are given in Figure 11 and reveal a wide range in total REE contents from 271 to 7426 ppm. There is a notable similarity in the modestly sloped shapes of the chondrite patterns (45<La/YbN<244) for most units that closely compare to magnetite-titanite-allanite-biotite granite from a nearby pluton of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite (sample 926524 in Figure 11). Granitic rocks of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite plausibly represent the parental magmatic source that spawned the genesis of rare-earth element-enriched, coarse-grained to pegmatitic monzonite and syenite units at the Laura occurrence. The similarity between REE chondrite patterns of various units at the Laura occurrence and those of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite at locality 926524 in addition to mutually elevated Ba and Sr support this contention (Figure 11). Therefore, this hypothesis may have exploration application and suggests that future work focus upon the relationship of this suite to potential rare-earth element mineralization.

Chondrite REE patterns for rocks from the NW part of the Laura grid are shown in Figure 12 and indicate relatively low contents of total REE levels (150 to 529 ppm). Most patterns compare closely with sample 926524 that is representative of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite situated southeast of the grid area (Figure 9) and plausible magmatic source of these granitic rocks.

11.1.2.2 Allanite Mineralization Local masses of a coarse titanite-allanite-quartz-plagioclase<<diopside assemblage contain areas up to 5 by 10 cm that are rich in platy, glossy black allanite (Photo 12). This mineral was verified by electron microprobe work in 166 analyses from four locations at the Laura #1 and Pegmatite 541 occurrences and nearby granitic rocks from the nearby Wolverine Range intrusive suite (Appendix 5). High contents of the light rare-earth elements (LREE) La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 were documented in allanite, as summarized in Table 4, with an overall average of 20.3 wt.% within a range of 18.6 to 24.3 wt.% based upon 166 analyses from the Laura #1 occurrence, Pegmatite 541 and within the small pluton of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite near Mount Bisson (Appendix 5). A similar mean LREE content of 21.29 wt.% within a wider range of data (14.98 to 26.98 wt. %) was reported by Halleran (1991, p.96 ) based upon 12 analyses. The Laura occurrence reveals modest variation in ThO2 in allanite, marked by exceedingly low contents in the magnetite-titanite-biotite syenite unit (0.00 to 0.10 wt.%) but elevated to a 0.94 to 1.33 wt. % range in the allanite-rich diopside skarn unit (926540) that overlaps the range of ThO2 contents in allanite from the inferred magmatic source in the Wolverine Range intrusive suite (0.67 to 1.8 wt.%). Table 4. Summary of averages and ranges for ∑ La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3, ThO2 and UO2 (wt.% oxide) in allanite from the Laura and Pegmatite 541 occurrences and the Wolverine Range intrusive suite.

Two analyses of allanite in titanite-magnetite-diopside syenite (926521) revealed higher La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 values of 33.8 and 40.1 wt.% beyond the normal limits for allanite that possibly represent an unidentified REE-rich silicate mineral. High grade allanite mineralization, which comprises up to 20 percent of the mode in some domains, is non-metamict as reflected in the very low to modest levels of ThO2. Thorium is typically concentrated in allanite and can achieve concentrations up to 4 wt.% (Ercit 2005). UO2 contents are exceedingly low for all occurrences examined and lies within a range of 0.00 to 0.09 wt.%).

11.1.3 Pegmatite 541

This sparsely exposed rare-earth element occurrence, named Pegmatite 541 in this work was encountered on a small hill covered with angular rubble about 150 m southeast of the Laura occurrence. The strike length and width of the mineralization, which exhibits spectacular coarse, euhedral, orange titanite and sparse fine-grained allanite (Photo 13), is unknown but may be better delineated by trench work and a ground spectrometer survey. Allanite is the only REE-bearing phase documented to date and has an average content of 19.8 wt.% La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 within a

Page 51: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

range of 19.2 to 22.6 wt.%. Very low ThO2 values are present and similar to the range for 926521 at the Laura occurrence.

Photo 13: Cluster of bright orange titanite in Pegmatite 541, a sodic granitic pegmatite at site 926541 near the Laura #1 occurrence. The host-rocks of Pegmatite 541 comprise titanite-biotite-diopside-hornblende diorite that exhibits a 5 cm thick, distinctive green metasomatic selvedge adjacent to the sodic granitic pegmatite. The metasomatized host-rock contains abundant green diopside, allanite, orange titanite, hornblende and sparse fluorapatite. Hornblende is also notably sparse in contrast to unaltered diorite at greater distances from the contact and was likely replaced by diopside. No aegerine-augite was detected in electron microprobe analysis of two samples. Elevated total REE contents of 2044 ppm were found in the sodic granitic pegmatite attended also by an anomalous value in the metasomatized diorite host rocks (1196 ppm). Both samples exhibit identical chondrite patterns (22.6<La/YbN<27.1) with small negative europium anomalies (0.87<Eu/Eu*<0.94) that contrast sharply with the pattern of unaltered diorite with a much lower total REE content (254 ppm) situated beyond the zone of metasomatism (Figure 13).

11.1.4 Will #1 and #2 Rare-Earth Element Occurrences

These occurrences are situated in areas of dense second-growth vegetation and the exact sites sampled by Halleran (1988) could be not located. However, five bulk rock samples were collected in vicinity of the two showings on claims 522747 and 525749 (Figure 14) and revealed no anomalous rare-earth element concentrations (Appendix 4). Metadiorite, similar to that of the M-12000 Road intrusive complex, represents the dominant lithology in vicinity of the Will #2 occurrence. 11.1.5 Central Rare-Earth Element Occurrence This showing consists of a undeformed, REE-rich, melanocratic, 15 cm wide layer or vein of unknown strike-length and orientation hosted in Wolverine gneiss near the margins of a fine-grained granite body. The occurrence is situated about 3.5 km NW of the Laura occurrence and 6.6 km SE of the M12000 Road occurrence (Figure 3b). It is cautioned that this locality was not examined by a qualified person in 2010 in regards to Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101 due to seasonal weather condidtions (snow cover) and therefore the issuer will request that a site examination be undertaken by the author in the 2011 field season. The mineralization, shown in the photo below, is situated within a 1.6 km wide ovoid magnetic high that is coincident with elevated radioactivity (total counts per second) as defined in the survey of Fugro Airborne Surveys Inc. Within this magnetic high are two linear, NE-striking features that may represent dykes that crosscut the Wolverine gneiss. Further geological mapping is required to establish if the linear magnetic features contain REE mineralization. The analytical results from ALS Chemex Labs on a grab sample (E922522) of the mineralization revealed the second highest ∑REE value (8.64 wt.%) and highest ∑HREE content (863 ppm)

The photo of an unpolished cut surface from the reference sample of material sent for analysis (E922522) reveals an abundance of coarse prismatic, dark brown allanite in a matrix of diopside (light green), quartz, orange apatite, magnetite and sparse titanite. Specks of very sparse, fine grained scheelite were confirmed by ultraviolet lamp and corroborated by an anomalous W content of 174 ppm. Field of view = 5 cm.

A thin section of reference sample E922522 reveals 40-50% allanite as euhedral to subhedral individual and masses of crystals up to 5 by 15 mm that is the highest amount thus far observed in the claim-group. Pleochroism of the allanite is yellow brown, red brown to olive green. All crystals are fresh, unzoned and unaltered and intergrown with a small % of epidote. The interstices between the randomly oriented generally prismatic allanite grains are filled with quartz, apatite, magnetite, diopside and minor euhedral to anhedral titanite. The apatite, which comprises ~5% of the rock, is mainly euhedral and the earliest formed mineral as it occurs as inclusions in all other phases including allanite. Magnetite (~ 3%) is relatively late and its grain contacts against diopside and allanite are commonly irregular and suggest corrosion. Furthermore, there are aphanitic masses of an unknown secondary mineral that comprises 20-40% of some diopside grains. This alteration mainly occurs where there is contact with the late magnetite.

Page 54: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

54

Most of the rare-earth elements (total 8.64 wt.%) are likely contained in the allanite as documented at other locations on claim-group (18.4 to 23.9 wt.% ∑La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3) in the 2009 probe work (see p.57) but the apatite and sphene could also have elevated REEs. This rock is rather unique as no plagioclase was observed. The elevated Th (783 ppm) and U (88 ppm) suggest that a ground spectrometer survey would be useful in delineating further such mineralization.

11.1.6 Summary of Anomalous Rare-Earth Element Concentrations

A summary of anomalous total rare-earth elements and yttrium values in the bulk rock samples and Y2O3 contents in minerals analyzed with the electron microprobe from the various rare-earth element occurrences above is now presented.

11.1.6.1 Bulk Rock Samples

Many bulk rock samples have anomalous trace level concentrations of the rare-earth elements (Table 6) and the highest values were found at the Central, Laura and M-12000 Road occurrences. These data are also depicted as enrichment factors relative to the average upper continental crust total rare-earth element content of 146 ppm (Taylor and McLennan 1985).

11.1.6.2 Summary of Light Rare-Earth Element and Yttrium-bearing Minerals Documented by Electron Microprobe Analysis

The rare-earth element- and Y2O3-bearing minerals were analyzed by a Cameca SX-100 electron microprobe and by X-Ray maps (La, Ce, Ca, Fe, P, Zr and Th) at The Open University in the United Kingdom. The minerals verified include epidote, allanite, titanite, fluorapatite and vesuvianite. The light rare-earth element content for these minerals were not available for 2007 field samples but analyses for La, Ce, Pr and Nd were undertaken for 2008 field specimens. Yttrium, which has geochemical similarities to the HREE (Samson and Wood 2005) and hence a guide to possible corresponding enrichment in these elements, was analyzed in various phases as given in Appendix 3 and 5 and summarized in Table 5. Table 5. Means and ranges of Y2O3 in allanite, epidote, titanite and vesuvianite in weight percent oxide from four sample localities in the Mount Bisson area. Data from the Laura occurrence are from Russell, Groat and Halleran (1994, p.276). N = number of analyses.

11.2 Other Mineral Occurrences

11.2.1 Cordierite-Orthoamphibole Lithologies Potentially Linked with Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Mineralization

A complex assemblage of mafic, ultramafic and intermediate rocks was encountered on claim 522747, situated between the Will #1 and #2 REE occurrences, that in part could represent high grade metamorphosed altered units potentially linked with volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization. These rocks are exposed in a 250 by 700 m area that has recently been cleared by logging operations and coincide with the south-eastern part of a 1 by 1.5 km ovoid magnetic anomaly (Figure 14) with a magnetic intensity that exceeds 58000 nT. A brief synopsis of these potentially important rocks will now be given. The previously unrecognized lithologies comprise metadiorite, metagabbro, iron-rich metaultramafic rocks and layered felsic to intermediate gneiss characterized by anthophyllite-gedrite associated with cordierite and corundum (Photos 14, 15, 16, and 17). Most rock types are distinctly magnetic with highest intensity found in magnetite-rich metaultramafic units that contain between 47 and 49.6 wt.% total iron as Fe2O3 (Appendix 4: 926510 and 926511).

Intermediate compositions at the right are characterized by abundant clotty linear aggregates of anthophyllite that grade into a very leucocratic unit with sparse anthophyllite. The leucocratic unit defines a tight fold with a core zone, as marked by coin, rich in biotite with lesser hornblende, plagioclase and corundum.

Photo 17. Deformed enclave, marked by coin, rich in anthophyllite-gedrite with sparse magnetite and plagioclase.

Page 58: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

58

The mineralogy has, in part, been verified by electron microprobe work on the metaultramafic (926510), anthophyllite-gedrite gneiss (926512 and 09-FWB-10-05) and associated corundum-bearing mafic units (09-FWB-10-6). The metaultramafic rocks mainly consist of medium- to coarse-grained, dark black-green amphibole of ferro-tschermakite composition and magnetite. Minor phases include fluorapatite, hercynite, and plagioclase. Thin fracture fillings of pyrite, chalcopyrite and rare bravoite (Ni-bearing pyrite) occur locally and responsible for rusty weathered areas. Metagabbro is generally strongly foliated, medium- to coarse-grained with local areas of well preserved primary texture in which original plagioclase megacrysts have been extensively recrystallized. The anthophyllite gneiss occurs in two exposures that are characterized by a clotty texture consisting of linear aggregates of dark brown, coarse anthophyllite-gedrite embedded in a finer-grained matrix of magnesium-rich cordierite, oligoclase, quartz, magnetite, ilmenite, garnet, rutile and fluorapatite (Photo 18). Tabular enclaves rich in anthophyllite may represent veins of very intense alteration and removal of alkalis and calcium that left a residium rich in Al, Ma and Fe. Subsequent high grade metamorphism and deformation possibly converted such zones in relatively competent units that now appear somewhat intact as odd looking tectonic inclusions. The main anthophyllite gneiss unit is layered with a leucocratic unit with relatively sparse anthophyllite and mafic units rich in biotite (70-80%) and subordinate hornblende, plagioclase, grey corundum, and sparse dark-green hercynite, ilmenite, fluorapatite, monazite, and xenotime.

Photo 18. False colour backscattered electron image showing mineralogy and textural relations in garnet-anthophyllite-cordierite felsic gneiss at locality 08-FWB-10. The protolith for the anthophyllite-bearing gneiss is currently unknown but potentially could represent altered felsic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks. COR rocks (Cordierite-ORthoamphibole) are considered an important mineralogical pathfinder lithology in regards to exploration of massive sulphide deposits situated in high grade gneiss terranes such as the Omineca belt (Bonnet and Corriveau 2007).

Page 59: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

Such distinctive mineralogical assemblages can arise when Fe-Mg chloritic alteration associated with massive sulphide deposits is subjected to high grade regional or contact metamorphism. Examples include the Geco camp (Manitouwadge, Ontario), the Coulan deposit and Horne Mine (Quebec), Gullbridge deposit (Newfoundland), Fox Mine and Lar deposit (Lynn Lake belt, Manitoba) and numerous deposits in Finland (Ruostesco, Saviankannas and Orijarvi) as summarized by Bonnet and Corriveau (2007) and Franklin (1997).

12. EXPLORATION

This report is submitted to the TSX-V exchange as part of an acquistion transaction. All geological, geochemical and geophysical work was undertaken by the vendor Paget Minerals Corporation. Under Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101, the property is classified as an “early stage exploration property”. The issuer intends to rectify the necessity for a site inspection by the author during the 2011 field season.

The reconnaissance field investigations were planned with logistical support by the vendor Paget Minerals Corporation and executed solely by the author, an independent geological consultant, who

Page 60: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

60

was requested by Paget to undertake an examination of the property that was accomplished during two time periods:

1. October 2 to 5, 2007 in the lower elevations of the claim-block as Mount Bisson was covered by snow rendering access to the Laura # 1 and #2 rare-earth element occurrences impossible. Only the Ursa occurrence and M-12000 Road REE, the latter now on adjacent property, were examined at this time, and, 2. July 18 to 23, 2008 at higher elevations that partly involved the Laura #1 and Pegmatite 941 occurrences and revistation of the Ursa and M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrences. The M12000 Road occurrence, discovered in 2007 by the author, originally was situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. This occurrence now lies on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do The author cautions that the rare-earth element mineralization at this occurrence is not necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-group. A third period of reconnaissance geological and geochemical field work was undertaken by T. Barresi from July 2 to 15, 2010 that also resampled the Laura #1 and Ursa occurrences and discovered new rare-earth element mineralization at the Central occurrence. This work was supervised by J. Bradford, QP of Paget Minerals Corp. and did not involve the author. All periods of field work involved identification of major lithologic units and contained mineralization where applicable. Evaluation of samples collected in the field was conducted by bulk rock analysis in certified commercial laboratories, and mineralogical composition data from electron microprobe analysis on samples from mineral occurrences. Petrographic identification of primary and metamorphic textures and constituent minerals was undertaken using a Nikon Type 140 binocular microscope with 4 to 40X lenses. Grab samples were selected from all lithologic units and from the rare-earth element mineralized zones. It is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent the average compositions of the various units.

12.1 Geophysical Surveys

A combined airborne magnetic-radiometric survey was conducted from October 2 to 8, 2006 over the property by Fugro Airborne Surveys Inc. that involved 595 line-kilometres on behalf of the issuer. The goal of the survey was to delineate subsurface structure and to identify areas with radiometric signatures that may correlate with zones of rare-earth element mineralization (Luckman 2006).

12.1.1 Magnetic Surveys

The total magnetic response map revealed an extensive, 0.5 to 1km by 4 km, northwest-trending belt of internally complex, intermediate to strongly magnetic rocks located in the central part of the claim-block on claims 522761, 547760, 522753 and 522740 that correlates with the Wolverine gneissic complex. At least ten narrow, linear, NE-SW magnetic anomalies, which are oriented 030 and 065 degrees and up to 2 km in length, occur on claims 522745, 522751, 522753, and 522755 and are

Page 61: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

61

interpreted as a swarm of late dykes that transect the deformation fabric in the Wolverine gneissic complex. These dykes consist of biotite granite, granodiorite, trondhjemite and quartz-bearing syenite, as exemplified in Photo 9, and are likely related to the Wolverine Range intrusive suite. In the northern part of the property on claims 522747, 568821, and 568837, several smaller but intense magnetic anomalies up to 0.5 by 1 km correlate, in part, with magnetite-rich, metaultramafic units that are tectonically layered with corundum-cordierite-anthophyllite felsic to intermediate rocks of unknown derivation (see Photos 22 to 24). The southeastern part of the survey area, on claims 522745, 522755 and 522756, in contrast, contains subdued magnetic rocks that likely correlate with marbles and feldspathic metasediments of the Ingenika group. However, four ovoid anomalies of intermediate to strongly magnetic rocks occur on these claims and possibly represent granitic plutonic centres that are linked to several of the aforementioned dykes.

12.1.2 Radiometric Surveys

The exploration work undertaken by Halleran (1988c) partly involved a UG130 Urtec scintillometer survey on a grid that covered the Ursa occurrence. The instrument was concluded to be ineffective due to the pervasive overburden in this area.

The radiometric component of the 2006 airborne survey undertaken by Fugro Airborne Surveys Ltd., involved detection of K, Th and U and results were depicted on 1:12500 scale coloured contour maps. The total counts maps (K+U+Th) revealed several zones of elevated radioactivity in the central part of the claim-block. The largest anomaly (0.4 to 0.8 by 3.8 km) correlates with the most significant magnetic anomaly described above and occurs on claims 522746, 533751, 522753, and 568815.

On claims 522746 and 547760, an ovoid 750 m diameter with high total counts is obvious. Smaller zones, up to by km, of high total counts occur elsewhere as on claims 522747, 522749, and 568838 correlate with the Will #1, Will #2 and the M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrences.

Several zones of the high total counts, as described above, have not received any follow-up work and should be prospected with the aid of a spectrometer, such as the RS-125 super gamma-ray model of Terraplus Inc. that may delineate zones of thorium enrichment. Rare-earth element mineralization commonly correlates with elevated thorium in the author’s experience.

12.2 Soil Sample Surveys

Halleran (1988c) undertook soil geochemistry work that focused upon cerium as a proxy for the light rare-earth elements and strontium on grids over the Laura, Will #1 and #2, and Ursa occurrences. A total of 371 samples were collected in this work and analyzed for Ce, Co, Cu, Nb, Sr, Ta, Y, Zn and Zr.

12.2.1 Laura Grid

Halleran (1988c) collected 176 soil samples from this grid and strontium was concluded to be an excellent pathfinder element for the rare-earth element mineralization as several anomalies that exceeded 400 ppm and up to 600 by 600 m in size were delineated. The peak Sr value of 1191 ppm exactly coincides with the Laura occurrence. Several cerium anomalies of >100 ppm were found to

Page 62: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

62

coincide closely with the Sr anomalies. A peak value of 174 ppm Ce occurs within the most significant Sr anomaly over the Laura occurrence. The soils are quite shallow in the area around the Laura occurrence and the author’s bedrock Sr levels (Appendix 4: range = 496 to 3726 ppm; mean = 1389 ppm) from this occurrence support the soil sample data of Halleran (1988c) from the Laura occurrence and a nearby granitic pluton (Figure 9).

12.2.2 Will #1 Grid

Sixty-five soil samples were collected by Halleran (1988c) on this grid and strontium was anomalous (>400 ppm) in a 75 by 200 metre area. The peak value of 970 ppm Sr coincides with the main rare-earth element showing. Cerium was also concluded to be anomalous at >75 ppm levels with a peak value of 161 ppm. 12.2.3 Will #2 Grid Sixty-five samples were collected by Halleran (1988c) on this grid that was found to be highly anomalous in cerium. A 200 by 300 m anomaly, which exceeds 150 ppm with a peak value of 411 ppm, was delineated on the grid near the main showing. This anomaly correlates with Sr levels that exceed 325 ppm with a peak value of 402 ppm.

12.2.4 Ursa Grid

Sixty-five samples were also collected over the Ursa Grid and low values of Ce and Sr were documented by Halleran (1988c) relative to the three grids already described. Nevertheless, Halleran (1988c) stated that the 50 ppm Ce contour defined the showing.

12.3 Stream Sediment Surveys

Two bulk stream sediment geochemical surveys were undertaken by the BC government in 1983 and 1988 in the general region that included streams draining the western boundary area of the Mount Bisson claim-group (Melville and Ferri 1988: Open File Map and in vicinity of the M-12000, Will #1, Will #2 and Ursa occurrences. Eight samples were collected on the claim-group by those surveys, however, the writer was unable to locate any rare-earth element data in the document that appends the government map. Halleran (1988c) collected 24 panned concentrates for several streams such as Munro Creek and concluded that these samples were unable to elicit a rare-earth response. In the 2010 field work, 11 stream sediment samples were collected by T. Barresi and sent for analysis at ALS Chemex Labs. The ∑REE content of the samples ranged from 281 to 478 ppm and modestly elevated above the average upper continental crust average of 149 ppm ∑REE.

12.4 Results

Only one period of previous mineral exploration was carried out (1987 to 1989) by Halleran (1988a, b and c) that was, in part, associated through an option agreement with Chevron Minerals Limited. There is no record of any trench work or of channel samples that were systematically undertaken across the rare-earth element-mineralized pegmatites or in the alteration halos adjacent to these pegmatites. Most analyzed material in the historical record probably represents grab samples.

Page 63: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

63

In the present investigation, a total of 100 bulk rock grab samples, collected by the author in 2007 and 2008, and T. Barresi in 2010 were sent to four certified commercial laboratories for analysis. The author cautions that grab samples are, by definition, selective and are unlikely to represent average grades at the various occurrences.

The current work undertaken at a reconnaissance level in parts of three field seasons has confirmed the presence of rare-earth element mineralization at two of the historical occurrences (Ursa and Laura showings) and discovered new rare-earth mineralization at a further two localities (M-12000 Road and Central Occurrences). Data from these investigations, however, has yet to confirm any of the elevated total REE values in the range of 1.3 to 13.5 wt.% that were documented in the historical work of Halleran (1988a, b, c) for the Laura and nearby Pegmatite 541 occurrences (Table 1 and Appendix 1). No work was undertaken on two other historical occurrences (Will #1 and #2) as these showings could not be located due to dense second growth vegetation. The M12000 Road occurrence, discovered in 2007 by the author, originally was situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. This occurrence now lies on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do The author cautions that the mineralization at the M12000 Road occurrence may not be necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-block. The Central Zone was discovered by T. Barresi during the 2010 field season and one grab sample revealed 8.64 wt. % total rare-earth elements (Paget Minerals Corp, News-Release, August 25, 2010). However, the author cautions that this site has not been examined by a qualified person and will be subject of an investigation by the author, as requested by the issuer, in the 2011 field season. Under Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101, the property is classified as an “early stage exploration property”. Seasonal weather conditions (snow cover) prevented the author from accessing the property and obtaining surface samples at the time of the request from the issuer. A summary of the key results obtained during the geological-lithogeochemical-mineralogical investigations undertaken to date are given below and delineated a number of specific granitic rock types that host the rare-earth mineral occurrences:

rare-earth element mineralization on the claim group is associated with two distinct granitic rock associations and hence no singular exploration model is applicable.

granitic to syenitic, I-type intrusive rocks and related pegmatite that are interlayered with

allanite-diopside-rich skarns ostensibly controlled by the contact between the 72.6 ± 0.2 Ma Wolverine Range intrusive suite and highly deformed diorite gneiss and calc-silicate rocks of the Wolverine gneiss unit (Laura #1 and Pegmatite 541 rare-earth element occurrences)

peraluminous, deformed, S-type pegmatitic granite hosted in calc-silicate and psammitic-

metapelitic metasedimentary rocks of the Ingenika group (Ursa rare-earth element occurrence), and,

Elevated Ba and Sr are associated with rare-earth element mineralization at the Laura

occurrence. These elements, therefore, may be utilized in further bedrock chemistry sampling that is focused upon the 72.6±0.2 Ma Wolverine Range intrusive suite,

Page 64: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

64

diopside alteration in metadiorite could be used as a guide to rare-earth element and yttrium

mineralization in the area proximal to the M-12000 Road occurrence. The electron microprobe work, which was undertaken at the Open University in 2008 and 2009, produced 1179 mineral compositions. This work verified the presence of allanite, the main rare-earth element mineral, at four sample localities on the claim-group (926521, 926524, 926540-A and 926542). Mineral identification work was also undertaken at Geo Labs on the Ontario Geological Survey. Relatively pure mineral concentrates were hand-picked by the author from several reference samples using a Wild Leitz binocular microscope with 6 to 31X magnification. Seven samples were placed in plastic vials and taken to the lab. The mineral identification work at this lab utilizes a combination of X-Ray diffraction and a Zeiss EVO-50 SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer). Results of the mineral identification data are given in Appendix 6. Allanite and diopside were confirmed in samples 926540 at the Laura #1 occurrence and amphibole of the anthophyllite-gedrite series at locality 08-FWB-10 (Figure 14). Highlights of the probe work include:

allanite with ∑LREE (∑ La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3) between 18.6 and 24.3 wt.% (mean = 20.3) was verified at the Ursa, Laura #1 and Pegmatite 541 occurrences and also in the Mount Bisson intrusive suite, the inferred progenitor of rare-earth element mineralization at the Laura #1 and Pegmatite 541 localities (Figure 9).

The Laura occurrence is genetically affiliated with relatively undeformed, I-type granitic rocks of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite that are exposed proximal to the rare-earth element mineralized zone near Mount Bisson. Localization of the mineralization (512 to 7429 ppm total REE) is evident in sheets of allanite-bearing syenite and titanite-plagioclase-diopside skarn that are concordant to the flat-lying planar deformation fabric in diorite and quartz diorite in the host Wolverine gneisses. The Ursa occurrence, with a range of 54 to 667 ppm total REE, reveals field evidence for allanite mineralization associated with weakly peraluminous, S-type, granitic magmatism. Such rocks were plausibly generated by partial melting of a metapelite protolith, a common rock type in the Ingenika group. The mineralization occurs in an allanite-titanite-biotite-bearing, zoned potassic pegmatite that has undergone extensive ductile deformation and lies concordant to its amphibolite-calc-silicate-marble host-rocks. The mineralization consists of black allanite and orange titanite that is mainly confined to a narrow, plagioclase-rich border zone (667 ppm total REE) attendant to a diopside-rich skarn selvedge in calc-silicate host-rocks. The biotite potassic pegmatite core zone contains anomalous but a lower total REE content (370 ppm). The M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrence, found during this work, consists of vein systems of undeformed, quartz-rich, titanite-diopside calc-alkaline pegmatite (2 to 3 m width over minimum 5 m strike) hosted within lineated, titanite-hornblende diorite and quartz diorite. The M12000 Road occurrence, discovered in 2007 by the author, originally was situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. This occurrence now lies on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do

The author cautions that the rare-earth mineralization at this occurrence may not necessarily be indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-block. The allanite subgroup [(Ca,Ce,Y)2 (Al,Fe3+)3Si3O12(OH)] of the epidote group is the main rare-earth element mineral of economic interest although subordinate concentrations of the rare-earth elements can occur in coexisting titanite, fluorapatite and epidote. Electron microprobe analyses of allanite from rare-earth element occurrences near Mount Bisson reveal an average La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 of 20.3 wt.% and low to modest contents of deleterious elements such as ThO2 and UO2. The Central Occurrence was discovered by T. Barresi during 2010 field work and one grab sample from a 15 cm wide, allanite-rich, melanocratic pod hosted in biotite-bearing quartzofeldspathic gneiss produced a ∑REE value of 8.64 wt.%, the second highest documented in the claim-block to date in a database that includes the historical analyses (see Appendix 1).

13. DRILLING

No recorded diamond drilling has occurred on the property.

14. SAMPLE METHOD AND APPROACH

Grab samples were collected from various localities and those destined for analysis consisted of fresh pieces of bedrock collected over representative areas of a given outcrop. Between 0.5 and 21 kg of rock material was selected and the sample size was dependent upon grain size. For coarse-grained to pegmatite units, larger amounts were collected and up to 21 kg. All samples selected for analysis were homogeneous with respect to grain size at the collection site. The author is not aware of any sampling factors that could impact the accuracy and reliability of the chemical data. However, the author cautions that grab samples are by nature selective and therefore may not represent average grades.

Each grab sample was placed in a plastic bag with a unique pre-numbered tag from a book of 50 that are generally provided free by commercial laboratories. UTM coordinates were written on the retained duplicate tag that remains in the book. The sample bag was sealed with a plastic zip tie at the field sample site. A smaller sample was kept in a separate bag labelled with the sample number for reference in work that entailed petrographic work with a binocular microscope. Location data for the various sample sites were provided using Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates for Zone 10 in North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83). Only a small part of the property was sampled in 2007 and 2008, however, focus was upon areas of exposed rare-earth element mineralization. The density of sampling was at the reconnaissance level in 2007 field work (Figure 3: 0.5 to 15 km spacing) but more detailed sampling was undertaken in 2008 in vicinity of the main Laura #1 showing (Figure 9: 16 samples over a 150 by 400 m area) and the area around the Will #1 and #2 showings (Figure 14: 20 samples over a 750 m by 2 km area).

15. SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY

This report is submitted to the TSX-V exchange as part of an acquistion transaction. All geological, geochemical and geophysical work was undertaken by the vendor Paget Minerals Corporation. Under

Section 6.2 (2) of NI 43-101, the property is classified as an “early stage exploration property”. The issuer intends to rectify the necessity for a site inspection by the author during the 2011 field season. Rock samples representative of all units at and proximal to the three rare-earth element mineralized localities were collected in order to define the major, minor and trace element characteristics, and to establish the economic potential for rare-earth elements and base and precious metals.

Weathered surfaces were, in some cases, removed from samples subsequently sent for bulk analysis in 2007 with water-cooled 10” and oil-cooled 24” diameter diamond saws. This work also produced slabs from the reference hand specimens required for thin section study and surfaces for hydrofluoric acid etching and sodium cobaltinitrite staining, with the latter as a valuable aid in rock classification, mineral identification and textural information.

Samples collected from 2007, 2008 and 2010 field work were prepared for analysis by four certified laboratories that are considered by the author to be industry leaders. A total of sixty-two bulk rock and seven sulphide-mineralized samples, collected from various localities depicted in Figures 3, 10 and 15, were submitted to Activation Laboratories Limited of Ancaster, Ontario, Acme Analytical Laboratories Limited and ALS Chemex Laboratory Group both in Vancouver, B.C. and the Geoscience Laboratories of the Ontario Geological Survey in Sudbury, Ontario (see Appendices 2 and 4).

Rock samples deemed representative of all lithologic units at and proximal to the four rare-earth element mineralized localities were collected on order to define the trace element characteristics and to aid in definition of economic potential for the REE and precious metals. The samples were collected in plastic sample bags and sealed with plastic zip ties. The location data for the various sample sites were obtained as Universal Transverse coordinates for Zone 10 in North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) derived from a Garmin 76 GPS unit. Between 0.5 and 21 kgs of chips were taken over a rock unit and dependent upon grain size, i.e., smaller samples of fine-grained samples, such as biotite lamprophyre, were required vis-à-vis coarse-grained units such as granitic pegmatites. The author is unaware of any sampling factors that could impact the reliability and accuracy of the chemical data. All samples selected were homogeneous with respect to grain size at the collection site. The author cautions that grab samples are by nature selective and therefore may or may not represent average values. To the author’s knowledge, laboratory sample pulps, rejects and assay certificates are kept in secure locations at the various analytical laboratories for future possible re-analysis, security and legal requirements. The four chemical laboratories utilized for analysis of the rock samples are considered by the author as industry leaders and accordingly I have confidence in the high standards in regards to handling, preparation, analysis and security measures employed by these labs. Laboratory performance was evaluated by using duplicate chip samples of homogeneous, fine and medium-grained rock types that were carefully split in the field and inserted as blind duplicate samples submitted to two of the laboratories. A split of homogeneous, medium-grained, titanite-diopside quartz diorite (926530 and 926531 in Appendix 4) was submitted to ALS Chemex labs to test reproducibility of analytical results. This lab conducted analysis of the majority of samples from the 2008 field work. A comparison of the rare-earth element content is given in Table 9 in Section 16.1and most elements agree within 10 %. Amongst the rare-earth elements, of chief concern in this work, the agreement for the ∑REE, ∑LREE and ∑HREE values.The LREE’s show excellent agreement that are within 5%

except for Eu at 16%. The HREE’s reveal less analytical agreement (0 to 24.4% range) with the greatest disparity amongst Dy, Ho and Tm. Thus, the author has confidence in the analytical accuracy in regards to the rare-earth elements that is the main focus of this report. , 15.1 Sample Preparation

15.1.1 Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd.

Thirty seven samples sent to Acme Labs were crushed, split and pulverized to 200 mesh according to their method code R150. Rock samples are dried and then prepared by particle size reduction to produce a homogeneous sub-sample which is representative of the original sample. For most analytical methods, this sub-sample will undergo some form of dissolution and decomposition.

15.1.2 ALS Chemex Laboratory Group

Seven samples submitted to ALS Chemex were prepared using their Prep-31 procedure (Method codes LOG-22, CRU-32, SPL-21 and PUL-31). Samples were logged into the tracking system and a bar code applied to each and then weighed, dried at 110 to 120 degrees Celsius and finely crushed so that greater than 70% of the sample passes a 2mm screen (Tyler 9 mesh, US standard No.10). A split up to 250 grams was then taken and pulverized so that greater than 85% the material passes a 75 micron screen (Tyler 200 mesh, US standard No. 200).

15.1.3 Activation Laboratories

Nineteen samples submitted to this lab were dried at 60 degrees Celsium and subsequently crushed and screened to a nominal minus 10 mesh (1.7 mm), then mechanically split (riffle) to 250 grams to obtain a representative sample that is pulverized so that at least 95% passes the minus 150 mesh (106 microns). The resulting pulp then goes through a homogenization procedure using a stainless steel V industrial blender. The blending is achieved by the constantly dividing and inter-meshing particle movement provided by the two connected cylinders. Inside the blender is a high speed agitator bar that thoroughly mixes the sample. High silica sand is employed between crushed samples to reduce contamination. The quality of crushing and pulverization is routinely checked as part of the quality assurance program of this lab.

15.1.4 Geoscience Laboratories - Ontario Geological Survey

Six samples were submitted to this laboratory for major, minor and trace element analysis. Sample preparation was undertaken by the SAM-SPA method code called Geo-Prep. The samples were crushed in a Bico Chipmunk jaw crusher with steel plates and a sample split was obtained using a riffle. The 250 gm split fraction, in which at least 80% of the material passes a 200 mesh screen, was subsequently pulverized in a 99.8% pure planetary ball mill.

15.2 Analytical Methods

15.2.1 Acme Analytical Laboratories Limited This lab analyzed 37 samples for major, minor and trace elements under method code 4A&4B that employs ICP-MS. This method measures the element concentrations by counting the atoms for each

Page 68: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

68

element present in the solution. Generally, ICP-MS can determine concentrations that are 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower compared to ICP-ES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Emisson Spectroscopy). Gold was analyzed by method code 3A that ignites the samples followed by acid digestion and analysis by ICP-MS.

15.2.2 ALS Chemex Laboratory Group Seven samples from the 2007 field program were submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratory Group in Vancouver, B.C. This lab also crushed and pulverized samples analyzed in the ME-MS81 package that contains all the rare-earth elements (La to Lu), Ag, Au, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sn, Sr, Ta, Th, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn, and Zr. The ME-MS61 package, which focuses upon accurate analysis of the rare-earth elements, was utilized for 7 samples. This package employs a four acid (hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, perchloric and nitric acids) digestion method. This is a strong acid solvent combination that is capable of decomposing nearly all common rock forming minerals with the notable exception of resistate phases like barite, chromite, monazite, titanite or xenotime. The analysis employs ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry) that is capable of determining the concentrations of 70 or more elements simultaneously by measuring the mass of ions generated by argon gas plasma heated to 8,000˚C and passing through a magnetic quadrupole detector. This method is capable of achieving extremely low detection limits (ppb to ppt) with very wide linear ranges (up to 7 orders of magnitude). The samples were also assayed for gold with the Au-AA23 procedure, procedure that involves fire assay and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Fire assay samples are mixed with fluxing agents including lead oxide and fused at high temperature. As the reactants cool, molten lead exsolves and descends to the bottom of the vessel, collecting precious metals as it travels and leaving a borosilicate slag at the top of the vessel. To isolate various precious metals from the leftover lead “button,” samples are subjected to temperatures of 960˚-1000˚C where the lead is volatilized and a bead of precious metals remains. The remaining bead is subjected to strong acid digestion and then analyzed using ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry). AES is similar to ICP-MS in that argon plasma is used to ionize and excite the samples. In the case of ICP-AES the characteristic frequencies of light emitted by excited ions are measured and compared against known calibration standards. This procedure uses a minimum 1 gram split of the 30 gram pulp.

15.2.3 Activation Laboratories Nineteen samples were submitted to this lab for major, minor and trace element analysis according to the analytical method codes below. These methods all involve a fusion process that uses lithium metaborate and lithium tetraborate mixed with the sample in graphite crucibles and fused in induction furnaces at 1150 degrees C. The fused crucible is dropped into a mixture of 5% nitric acid. The resultant molten mixture is dissolved and will result in total metals and is ideal for lithogeochemistry including major oxides and trace elements including REE and other high field strength elements. 4-LITHO. This analytical package is a combination of method codes 4B and 4B2. 4B. This method analyzes major elements SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO. MnO, CaO, TiO2, Na2O, K2O, P2O5 and LOI and selected trace elements Ba, Sr, Y, Zr, Sc, Be and V. The samples are analyzed in a batch system that includes a method reagent blank, a CRM (certified reference materials), and 17%

Page 69: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

69

replicates. The samples are prepared by mixing a fluxing combination of lithium metaborate and lithium tetraborate with subsequent fusion in an induction furnace. The molten material is immediately poured into a solution of 5% nitric acid that contains an internal standard and mixed continuously for about 30 minutes until the material is completely dissolved. Analysis of the solutions is undertaken on a combination Jarrell-Ash ENVIRO II ICP or a Spectro Cirros ICP unit. Calibration is achieved by utilizing seven prepared USGS (United States Geological Survey) and CANMET certified reference materials. For quality control, one of these standards is used for every 10 samples analyzed. Totals should lie between 98.5 and 101 %. Samples with low totals are automatically refused and reanalyzed. 4B2. This method analyzes a wide range of trace elements including the rare-earth elements. The sample solution is spiked with internal standards to cover the entire mass range and then further diluted to include this range. A final dilution stage occurs prior to analysis by a Perkin Elmer SCIEX ELAN 6000 ICP-MS unit that employs a proprietary sample introduction methodology. 4F-CO2. Total carbon is determined by combustion and infrared analysis using an ELTRA C/S-800 analyzer. A separate aliquot of sample is leached with 25% hot HCl with the residue dried and analyzed for carbon. The difference is in the inorganic carbon which is converted into CO2. 4F-F. A 0.5 gram sample is fused with sodium hydroxide in an oven 580 degrees C for 1 hour. In order to release fluoride ions from the sample matrix, the fused material is dissolved in sulphuric acid with an ammonium citrate buffer. The fluoride-ion electrode is immersed in the solution to directly measure the fluoride ion activity.

15.2.4 Geoscience Laboratories - Ontario Geological Survey Six samples were submitted to the OGS Lab were and solutions were prepared using the closed vessel, multi-acid digestion (hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, perchloric and nitric acids) that results in total dissolution of silicate rock samples. This method (code IMC-100) is preferred for the rare-earth elements and various reference materials (CRMs). As the closed vessel digestion is considered to be efficient in bringing all elements into solution, the data are considered more accurate, especially for elements that reside in resistate minerals such as rare-earth element-rich minerals (monazite and xenotime) and also garnet, chromite and zircon. The IMC-100 analytical method involves ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry) that is the currently preferred method for analysis of minor and trace elements. Sample calibration is carried out using a combination of synthetic, multi-acid solutions and certified. Ce, Cs, Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Hf, Ho, La, Lu, Nd, Yb and Zr were analyzed by this method and data are presented in Appendix 4. Major elements were analyzed by method code XRF-MO1 via X-Ray Fluorescence. The samples are first run for loss on ignition (LOI) at 100 degrees C in a nitrogen atmosphere and then at 1000 degrees C until a constant sample weight is obtained. Subsequently the sample is fused with a borate flux that produces a glass bead for analysis.

15.3 Sample Security Samples were sent to the Acme Laboratories and ALS Chemex Laboratory Group of Vancouver directly from the project area in sealed plastic bags with security tags inside. Other samples were sent subsequent to field activity (Geoscience Laboratories of the Ontario Geological Survey and Activation

Page 70: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

70

Laboratories). In all cases, shipment of the sealed plastic sample bags were undertaken in 21 litre plastic pails with snap-down lids to insure sample security. Representative hand specimens were taken of all samples sent to analytical laboratories for petrographic work and electron microprobe work on specific samples. Most of these hand specimens, which are stored at the author’s residence, were etched and stained with hydrofluoric acid and sodium cobalinitrite to reveal mineralogy and textural data. Samples were brought back to Mackenzie and stored in the author’s hotel room at the end of each day of field work. All samples intended for analysis were sealed in plastic bags at the sample site by the author or field assistants. The samples destined for analytical work were placed in 20 litre plastic pails and sealed with snap-on lids. Transport companies shipped the sample lots to Sudbury and ALS Chemex Lab Group in 2007 and to Acme Analytical Laboratories via Greyhound bus lines from Mackenzie in 2008. The samples shipped to Sudbury in 20 litre plastic pails Sudbury were subsequently subjected to diamond saw preparation work. In November of 2007 the prepared samples were shipped via Gardwine North Transport of Sudbury to Activation Labs in Ancaster, Ontario.

16. DATA VERIFICATION

16.1 Historical Geochemistry The historical data of Chevron Minerals and A.A.D. Halleran have been incorporated in this report. These data have been referenced and considered by the author to represent the best standards and practices of the industry at that time. A disparity however exists in some of the historical data, as detailed below. The rare-earth element data in the bulk rock samples of Halleran (1991) and Leighton (1997) are listed in Appendix 1 with mean values and range of data summarized in Table 1. All samples of Halleran (1991) and Leighton (1997) consisted of grab samples to the author’s knowledge. Leighton (1997, p.4) reported results from four grab samples collected from the Laura No. 1 occurrence that were only analyzed for rare-earth elements and yttrium. The samples BIR-1 to BIR-4, respectively correspond to the earlier sample sites of Halleran (1991: UG-7840A, UG-7836, UG-7834 and UG-7835). Only one set of comparative samples could be located in the literature (i.e., UG-7834 versus BIR-4; see Appendix 1) and a notable disparity is evident in these data. Leighton (1997) resampled four earlier sites of Halleran (1991) at the Laura occurrence and although there is general agreement amongst the LREE (La-Eu), a significant disparity exists for the heavy rare-earth elements and Y contents that the author cannot explain. Well known commercial labs were utilized by Chevron Minerals (Bondar-Clegg and Acme Labs of Vancouver) and Acme Analytical Labs by Leighton (1997). The Leighton samples contain considerably higher total heavy rare-earth elements (Gd to Lu), i.e., 83 ppm versus 1.02 wt.% and yttrium at 71 ppm versus 1.53 wt.%. Chondrite-normalized rare-earth element profiles of the Leighton data are similar to those of Halleran (1991), however, the much higher heavy rare-earth element (HREE) content produces highly discordant profiles compared to those of Halleran’s data (Figure 15). The reason for the differing yttrium and total rare-earth element contents may be due to diverse mineralogy present at the sample site. Leighton’s sample BIR-4, for example, may have contained significant xenotime (YPO4) and/or fergusonite group minerals [(Y,Ca,Ce,U,Th)(Nb,Ta,Ti)2O4] as these exhibit HREE enrichment in chondrite-normalized plots (e.g., Congdon and Nash 1991, p.1265

Page 71: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

71

and Montero, Floor and Corretgé 1998, p.690-692) similar in shape to the bulk rock chondrite rare-earth element patterns of Leighton’s data. Also it is unusual in published literature to see positive Ho and Tb anomalies, and to a lesser extent Tm, as shown in Figure16. Halleran’s data contains numerous positive Sm anomalies, a feature that is also apparently uncommon in crustal rocks (Jones, Wall and Williams 1996). All of these observations suggest shortcomings in the analytical or sampling procedures.

Figure 16. Chondrite-normalized REE plot for Laura No. 1 and No. 2 occurrences on Mount Bisson that compares the historical data of Halleran (1991) with that of Leighton (1997). The author also cautions the reader in regards to rare-earth element data that was collected more than 20 years ago. Improved analytical techniques for the rare-earth elements along with lower detection limits and better accuracy, precision and greatly reduced costs of analyses are evident today vis-à-vis during the time of the investigations of Halleran (1989) and Leighton (1997). During the 1980’s several rare-earth elements with the lowest crustal abundances, such as Tm, Er, and Lu were not routinely analyzed and this is evident in some gaps in the data of Halleran (1991) as indicated in Appendix 1. Thus, higher total REE values will be evident for such samples if analysis were performed by current analytical technology. A comparison of the historical REE and Y data from the Ursa and Laura occurrences are given in Tables 6 and 7. For the Ursa occurrence Halleran (1991) reported a range of 300 ppm to 2.14 wt.% ∑REE. Three samples from the present work revealed lower ∑REE (54 to 667 ppm) contents that overlap the lower part of the range for the historical data, although the main Ursa pegmatitic granite mass is very poorly exposed and is not certain if the same outcrop of Halleran (1991) was sampled by the author.

Page 72: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

72

A large 21 kg bulk sample selected over a one metre square area of the largest exposure of granitic pegmatite, revealed the lowest total rare-earth element content at the occurrence (07-FWB-05-03: 54 ppm ; see Appendix 2).

Comparative data for the Laura occurrence indicate an overlap of total REE and yttrium values in this work with the lower part of the range of values reported by Halleran (1991) as compiled in Appendix 1. The mean value for total REE of 2000 ppm is significantly lower but is based upon relatively few samples.

16.2 Verification of Geochemical Data by the Author The author conducted external test of the data quality by employing blind duplicate samples of fine-medium grained, homogeneous rock types that were homogenized and randomly split into two lots in the field. This procedure compared results within one laboratory (Acme Labs) and performance of one

lab versus a second lab (ALS Chemex Laboratory Group versus Activation Labs). The results of this due diligence are discussed below. The writer did not utilize any certified reference materials of the type utilized by chemical laboratories such as ALS Chemex Labs (SY-4 syenite standard: see table below). These internationally recognized standards are often in short supply and costly. Grab samples also represent the sole means of sampling by the author as the work was reconnaissance in nature designed to evaluate chemical variation in all major rock units and in the three poorly exposed mineralized zones encountered. Location data for sampling in the author’s work utilized a Garmin GPS 12 unit coupled with digital photography at every outcrop examined. Between 0.5 and 21kgs of chips were taken over a rock unit and dependent upon grain size, i.e., smaller samples of fine-grained samples were required vis-à-vis coarse-grained units. Table 8 provides a comparison for various trace element data produced by Activation Laboratories Ltd. and ALS Chemex Laboratory Group on biotite lamprophyre (sample number 148654), respectively in Appendix 2). For the light rare-earth elements and yttrium, agreement between the two laboratories was excellent with greatest difference involving Nd (13.3 %). The heavy rare-earth elements, however, revealed a greater disparity and between 9.1 and 27.7% as contents of these elements are quite low in the sample and lie close to detection limits.

A second series of samples, that involved a split of homogeneous, medium-grained, titanite-diopside quartz diorite (926530 and 926531 in Appendix 4) were submitted to test reproducibility of Acme Laboratories Labs who conducted analysis of the majority of samples from the 2008 field work. A comparison of the rare-earth element content is given in Table 9 and many elements agree within 10 %. Amongst the rare-earth elements, of chief concern in this work, agreement for the LREE is generally excellent and within 5.1 % except for Eu at 16%.

16.3.1.2 ALS Chemex Laboratory Group

ALS Chemex, which is part of its Laboratory Group's Mineral Division, has developed and implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) at each of its locations. This is designed to ensure the production of consistently reliable data. The system covers all laboratory activities and takes into consideration the requirements of ISO standards. The QMS operates under global and regional Quality Control (QC) teams responsible for the execution and monitoring of ALS Chemex's various Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control programs in each department, on a regular basis. Both internal and external audits are undertaken and these programs include, but are not limited to, proficiency testing of a variety of parameters to ensure that all key methods have standard operating procedures (SOPs) are in place and followed properly. This ensures that quality control standards are capable of producing consistent results. The process of external audits by recognized organizations and the maintenance of ISO registrations and accreditations are important. ISO registration and accreditation provides independent verification for the lab clients that the QMS is operational at the location in question. Most ALS Chemex laboratories are registered or are pending registration to ISO 9001:2000, and a number of analytical facilities have received ISO 17025 accreditations for specific laboratory procedures. 16.3.1.3 Activation Laboratories Ltd. A total of 21 international rock standards were utilized in the analysis and these are listed in the Quality Control pages for Actlabs in Appendix 2. Actlabs' QA-QC system monitors all steps and phases of its operations. The QA/QC system outlines comprehensive details concerning the facilities, personnel qualifications and analytical processes used. Additionally, there are routine audits from four regulatory agencies that focus on continual improvement. Actlabs has a defined policy that ensures that all personnel that work in the laboratories are competent to perform the work required. New employees are trained to perform specific tasks and their ability to perform these tasks is formally assessed. The personnel are routinely evaluated and up-to-date training and performance records are maintained. Actlabs' accredited in-house methods are fully validated before being used on client samples. Analytical equipment is regularly maintained for maintenance and calibration. Records of calibration and performance parameters are maintained for both testing and measuring equipment. Actlabs routinely monitors and documents the reliability of sampling from the sample preparation process. This ensures that sub-samples taken (e.g. from a crushed rock split) are reliable and representative of the original sample submitted.

16.3.1.4 Geoscience Laboratories - Ontario Geological Survey

This laboratory employs a comprehensive quality assurance (QA) program to ensure the reliability and validity of all analytical data provided to clients. The goal is to provide results with precision and accuracy better than ±10% when the element concentration is more than 10 times the limit of quantification for the method being utilized. A quality management system has been certified to ISO 9001 by QMI-SAI Global in 2000. The Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA) has since accredited the Geo Labs to ISO/IEC 17025 for specific test methods in 2005. Both of these certifications employ a documented system of policies and procedures. The QA program pertains to approximately 20% of all completed work. One sample for every ten is duplicated, in either the sample preparation or analytical preparation stages. One reference material (RM) and one blank are included in every twenty samples. A variety of reference materials, which involves a combination of international reference and in-house standards, are available for matrix matching. Geo Labs regularly participates in many national and international proficiency testing programs including CALA, PTP-MAL, NWRI and IAG.

17. ADJACENT PROPERTIES

The M-12000 Road rare-earth element and the Manson River East Cu-Ag occurrences are situated proximal to the Mount Bisson claim-group (Figures 2 and 3b). These occurrences were present on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corp. during the 2007 and 2008 field season and hence examined in some detail by the author. Thus descriptions of these occurrences are given in this section.

The M12000 Road occurrence, discovered in 2007 by the author, originally was situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. These two mineral occurrences now lie on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do

Although the authour has undertaken detailed work on these showings, as documented in this section, the mineralization at the M12000 Road and that of the Manson River East Cu-Ag occurrences are not necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-block that is the subject of the Paget-Seymour transaction.

17.1 Manson River East Cu-W-Ag Occurrence This occurrence was discovered by Ferri and Melville (1988; 1994) and described as amphibolite gneiss hosted in high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Ingenika group. Sulphide mineralization was also encountered by the author in the same area at locality 07-FWB-10, however, it is presently uncertain if this represents the original occurrence of Ferri and Melville (1994, p. 92) who reported

0.13 wt.% copper, 3 ppm Ag and no detectable Au. Results of grab samples from a potassium-rich ultramafic enclave (3.24 wt.% K2O), with sporadic chalcopyrite and an adjacent lens of pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-rich mineralization in the hornblende quartz monzonite, which has a minimum surface extent of 5 by 30 cm, are given in Table 10.

Mafic to intermediate intrusive rocks of the M-12000 Road intrusive complex contain sporadic sulphide-rich domains (chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite), with sparse scheelite, up to 5 by 30 cm that revealed a range of Cu (0.21 to 0.75 wt.%), W (11 to 917 ppm) and Ag (4 to 9 ppm). Further such mineralization of this type may exist in the area and this intrusive complex is at least 3 by 5 km in extent, based upon reconnaissance examination of road accessible outcrops in the northern part of the claim-group.

Detailed examination by the author did not reveal the presence of compositionally banded rocks that could be identified as amphibolite gneiss. Rather, the mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and scheelite exposed as ragged masses associated within the ultramafic enclave and its hornblende quartz monzonite host. It is possible that the sulphides represent magmatic segregations and hence may be a previously unrecognized mineralization type in the area. Tungsten is anomalously high in the potassium-rich ultramafic enclave (917 ppm) supported by an ultraviolet lamp that revealed specks of possible scheelite. Several other tungsten-bearing mineralized occurrences are evident in the region (Figure 2) that includes the M-12000 Road rare-earth element occurrence described below.

17.2 M12000 Road Occurrence A 150 m wide zone of diorite to quartz diorite intrusive rocks is hosted in highly deformed, locally migmatized, garnet-biotite-sillimanite clastic metasedimentary rocks of the Wolverine gneisses. The occurrence is situated about 1.4 km north of the previously described M-12000 Road intrusive complex. Later dykes of fine- to medium-grained biotite granite, related to the Chamberland Creek pluton, are situated immediately south of this occurrence. Minimum dimensions of the mineralized zone are currently 2 to 3 m in width over a strike length of 5m as there is only sporadic exposure of this roadside outcrop due to a widespread covering of soil and gravel. Furthermore, the two exposed vein systems are oriented approximately normal to the road cuts and hence further delineation should be undertaken in the forest covered area to the west. The main rock types of the mineralized zone comprise lineated, diopside-hornblende quartz diorite and lighter weathering, more leucocratic, titanite-diopside quartz diorite. The latter rock type grades into quartz-rich patches and veins that contain identical mineralogy to its host. Aggregates rich in yellow-green hornblende occur in some of the quartz-rich patches in association with orange titanite,

plagioclase and sparse allanite (Photo 19). A strong mineral lineation is apparent in both types of quartz diorite but is absent in the quartz-rich pegmatite veins. The rare-earth element mineralization is concentrated in calcium-rich masses within a quartz-rich, calc-alkaline pegmatite system that post-dates the deformation of its diorite to quartz diorite host rocks. A 2 to 3 m wide light green replacement zone, characterized by an increase of diopside over hornblende, is symmetrically disposed along the 0.5 thick pegmatite veins. Several of these quartz-rich pegmatite vein systems and attendant diopside-rich halos (20 modal percent) were observed within the diorite host-rocks. The mineral assemblage of the rare-earth element-bearing domains in the pegmatite system consists of deep brown, non-metamict allanite, vesuvianite, scheelite, two varieties of epidote (pink and pistachio green), diopside, fluorapatite and sparse zircon. Elevated Y2O3 contents were also documented in several minerals with the following maximum values: epidote (3.52 wt.%), titanite (2.71 wt.%) and vesuvianite (0.59 wt.%). The quartz-rich pegmatite patches also contain local clusters with complex mineralogy that are dominated by calcium-rich phases (Photo 20). Overall, 13 different phases have been identified in thin-section and from electron microprobe work: diopside, 2 types of epidote (pistachio green and vitreous pink), allanite, titanite, calcic plagioclase, magnesio-hornblende, fluorapatite, vesuvianite, scheelite, zircon, rutile and late calcite and iron-rich alteration. Sample 926529 from the allanite-bearing assemblage of the quartz-rich calc-alkalic pegmatite revealed 1463 ppm total REE, 123 ppm total HREE, 600 ppm W, 24 ppm Sn , 174 ppm Y, and low Th (30 ppm) and U (5.1ppm). The total HREE and Y levels are notably higher than any other bulk rock compositions documented elsewhere from the claim-group to date. The chondrite REE patterns for the mineralized pegmatite units (Figure 17) are relatively flat (13.6<La/YbN<18.6) and similar in shape to the diorite host rocks. There is a slight increase in total REE content in the diopside-enriched metasomatic zone (237 to 249 ppm) versus the unaltered hornblende diorite (209 ppm) several metres from the pegmatite veins. Anomalous levels of Nd (324 ppm), Sm (57 ppm), Eu (13 ppm), Gd (50 ppm), Dy (30 ppm) and Tb (6.3 ppm) are evident in a range between 10 to 15 times the average upper continental crust averages for these elements (Taylor and McLennan 1985).

Samples 926530 and 926531 represent duplicate samples split in the field from a homogeneous, medium-grained unit (titanite-diopside quartz diorite) that were submitted to Acme Analytical Laboratories for external quality control assessment (see also Table 10).

11.2.2.1 Allanite

Allanite occurs as deep brown, pleochroic, anhedral to subhedral grains up to 3 by 5 mm that commonly are found in clusters (Photos 21, 22 and 23). Textural evidence indicates that the allanite crystallized as a relatively early magmatic phase as this mineral occurs as inclusions in all major rock-forming minerals (diopside, quartz, plagioclase) and also in fluorapatite. A complex crystallization history is implied by homogeneous core zones successively enveloped by delicate oscillatory zones followed by the development of a rim with a patchy replacement texture. Parts of some grains in sample 148666-2, which exhibit scalloped grain boundaries, suggest that the above evolutionary sequence has been overprinted by possible late magmatic fluids. The partial analyses of the allanite (Appendix 3) suggest that this mineral may contain up to 20 wt.% total rare-earth elements by inspection of the totals and allowing for 2 to 3 wt.% H2O. Complex internal chemical zonation is suggested in various backscattered electron images that exhibit combinations of patchy and oscillatory zonation with a tendency for iron enrichment in the rim areas relative to the core of the allanite grains. The X-ray maps for lanthanum and cerium (Photos 23 and 24) indicate that the core zones are enriched in these elements relative to the rims of these grains.

11.2.2.2 Other Minerals

Epidote, as subhedral to euhedral grains, occurs as two variants: a dominant pistachio green variety and a sparse, vitreous, faint pink phase that coexists with the former (Photo 20). Epidote exhibits impressive oscillatory zonation in backscattered electron images and it overprints two stages of alteration associated with vesuvianite (Photos 25 and 26). Titanite is widespread in all units of the M-12000 Road occurrence where it is evident as euhedral to subhedral, deep orange-brown grains up to 1 cm across. On cut surfaces titanite has a lighter colouration (Photo 19). Scheelite occurs sporadically as faint brown anhedral grains, up to 1 by 2 mm, in the calcium-rich mineral aggregates and is readily observed with a short wave ultraviolet lamp. The mineral tends to occur in quartz-rich patches (Photo 20). Enrichment of Y2O3 in coexisting titanite and epidote was documented in sample 148666-2 with respective maximum contents of 2.71 wt.% and 3.52 wt.%. The mean content of 1.73 wt. % Y2O3 in titanite (Table 5) is 4.3 times higher than the respective mean of 0.40 wt. % in this mineral from the Laura occurrences (Russell, Groat and Halleran 1994, p. 579). The enrichment of Y2O3 in the complex mineralogy at locality 07-FWB-08 therefore suggests that HREE may be enriched elsewhere within this calc-alkalic pegmatite system. Samson and Wood (1995) pointed out that yttrium has closer geochemical similarities in to the HREE (in particular holmium) vis-à-vis the LREE and, as a corollary, minerals with high Y2O3 contents may constitute a useful indicator for potentially anomalous HREE concentrations in bulk rock samples. Several chemical and petrographic features support the proposed genetic relationship:

presence of scheelite in samples 148666, 148970 and 148671 allanite present in all rock types

modestly anomalous total rare-earth elements in diorite of the M-12000 Road intrusive

complex and similarity in shapes of chondrite plots with modestly negative slopes (7.2<La/YbN<51.8) and mostly slightly positive europium anomalies (0.98<Eu/Eu*<1.6).

It is plausible, therefore, that a genetic linkage exists between the M-12000 rare-earth element occurrence and the nearby M-12000 Road intrusive complex, given the common presence of scheelite and allanite at localities 07-FWB-08 and -10.

18. MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

There is no record of any mineral processing or metallurgical testing carried out on the Mount Bisson property.

19. MINERAL RESOURCE AND MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATES

The Mount Bisson property is in the early stages of exploration and consequently there are no estimates of mineral resources or mineral reserves on the property

20. OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INTERPRETATION

The main focus of the current investigation is the rare-earth elements, yttrium and scandium. Several of the rare-earth elements such as Dy, Nd, Eu and Tb could become increasingly scarce that may manifest in supply shortages. The links and text below provide the reader with some background information in regards to pricing and uses of the rare-earth elements.

http://www.resourceinvestor.com/MediaLib/Downloads/71119RareEarthPresentation-LuncheonTalk%20Attachment.ppt

These metals have witnessed significant price increases (in US dollars) in recent years as reported by http://www.metal-pages.com/ Listed are the current prices as of May 2009: dysprosium ($115/kg), neodymium ($32/kg), europium ($470/kg) and terbium ($720/kg) Roskill Information Services http://www.roskill.com/reports/rare in fact stated in 2007 that “with high prospects for growth in rare earth’s end-use sectors, the forecast demand growth of 8 to 10 per year, there is a pressing need for new non-Chinese capacity in the next 3 to 4 years”. Anomalous levels of scandium between 38 to 99 ppm, compared to its upper continental crust average of 11 ppm (Taylor and McLennan 1985), were documented at the Will No. 2 occurrence by Halleran (1991) but these are historical data that predate NI-43-101 standards and therefore cannot be relied upon. Scandium is a rare and valuable commodity, with the metal product currently selling for $5.42 to 8.60 per gram (USD) and Sc2O3 priced at $1.35 to 1.88 per gram (USD), both at 99.99 percent purity (see following link): http://www.stanfordmaterials.com/sc.html

21. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

This project involved a geological-geochemical-mineralogical investigation of all known rock types and historical rare-earth element mineralization that comprise the Wolverine pegmatite field situated within the Omineca crystalline complex. The work was undertaken at a reconnaissance scale as no modern government geological mapping or geochemical data exist for most of the area. Most objectives of the work were met in the author’s opinion as the majority of the rare-earth element occurrences were located, examined, sampled and REE values verified by four commercial analytical laboratories amongst the 100 grab samples selected. The author cautions that grab samples are by

nature selective and may not necessarily indicate average values. The historical Will #1 and #2 occurrences were not directly sampled and evaluated as these sites could not be located due to dense second growth vegetation. However, several samples were collected in the immediate area that contains these historical showings. The higher rare-earth element values documented in the historical work (Appendix 1: 1.3 to 13.5 wt.%) were not verified at the Laura occurrence and this may reflect the reconnaissance scale of the present work. More detailed sampling at a grid scale is likely needed in order to verify these elevated historical total REE values. The mineralogical work of the present investigation, in part involved, 1179 electron microprobe analyses and this work verified the presence of allanite as the main rare-earth element mineral along with various essential and varietal rock-forming minerals that coexist with the allanite (Appendices 3 and 5). Allanite was verified at five sample localities on the claim-group (926521, 926524, 926540-A and 926542). High contents of the light rare-earth elements (LREE) La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 were documented in allanite with an overall average of 20.3 wt.% within a range of 18.6 to 24.3 wt.% based upon 166 analyses from the Laura #1 occurrence, Pegmatite 541 and within the small pluton of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite near Mount Bisson. These data verify the historical analyses of Halleran (1991, p. 96) who reported a mean LREE content of 21.29 wt.% within a wider range (14.98 to 26.98 wt. %) based upon 12 analyses. The 2007 to 2010 work also led to discovery of two rare-earth element occurrences (M12000 Road and Central Occurrences). The M12000 Road occurrence was originally situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction. This occurrence now lies on claim 842836 (claim name CLONE 4) that is 456.87 hectares in area and belongs to A.R. Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do The author cautions that the rare-earth mineralization at this occurrence may not necessarily be indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-block. The author also cautions that the Central Occurrence, defined by grab samples with up to 8.64 wt.% total rare earth elements (Paget Minerals Corp., News-Release, August 25, 2010), has yet to be examined by a QP and the issuer intends to request an evaluation by the author in 2011. Three rare-earth element mineralized localities on the claim block (Laura # 1, Pegmatite 541, Ursa) have been classified into two distinct lithological associations, and hence no singular exploration model is applicable. Rather, exploration should focus upon the particular rare-earth element-granitic rock association and inferred genetic history as given below:

granitic to syenitic I-type intrusive rocks and related pegmatite that are interlayered with allanite-diopside-rich skarns ostensibly controlled by the contact between the 72.6 ± 0.2 Ma Wolverine Range intrusive suite and highly deformed diorite gneiss and calc-silicate rocks of the Wolverine gneiss unit (Laura #1, #2 and Pegmatite 541 and possibly the Central rare-earth element occurrences), and

peraluminous, deformed, S-type pegmatitic granite hosted in calc-silicate and psammitic-

metapelitic metasedimentary rocks of the Ingenika group (Ursa rare-earth element occurrence).

Page 90: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

The rare-earth element mineralization at the Laura occurrence, is re-interpreted as skarn-related and controlled by the contact zone along the margins of the largest pluton of the Wolverine Range intrusive suite at Mount Bisson and its metadiorite host-rocks. Such a geological controlling feature could have led to entrapment of silica-saturated, pegmatite-forming melts of quartz syenite, syenogranite, monzonite, monzogranite and trondhjemite composition with elevated rare-earth elements hosted in allanite, titanite and fluorapatite and associated with anomalously high barium and strontium. This granitic-syenitic pegmatite system possibly extends, from aeromagnetic interpretation, southwest into the adjacent calc-silicate metasedimentary-dominant rocks of the Ingenika group that hosts the nearby Ursa occurrence. Furthermore, the linear anomaly appears to emanate from an ovoid, 0.4 by 0.75 km, conspicuous magnetic anomaly on claim 522745. This ovoid anomaly, with a range of magnetic intensities between 57,600 and 57,900 nT, could possibly represent a plutonic centre of the inferred dike system. Several other similarly oriented linear magnetic anomalies may represent related dykes in the calc-silicate host rocks proximal to the Ursa occurrence as on claims 522755 and 522756. The M12000 Road occurrence was originally situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson. The M12000 Road occurrence was originally situated on claim 568837 of Paget Minerals Corporation within a contiguous 22 claim block at Mount Bisson but was dropped by the vendor prior to the Seymour Ventures transaction.

Schindel as determined by a title search at: https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/searchTenures.do The author cautions that the rare-earth mineralization at this occurrence may not necessarily be indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-block. The corundum-cordierite-anthophylite intermediate gneisses, discovered by the author on claim 522747, could potentially be associated with volcanogenic, massive sulphide mineralization, however, more work is needed in that area in order to establish genetic linkages. Only a small part of the property was sampled in 2007, 2008, and 2010 and was mainly at a reconnaissance level. The sampling did not homogeneously cover the entire claim-block but rather focused upon areas that contained the historical rare-earth element showings. The density of sampling was at the reconnaissance level for the 2007 (Figure 3a: 0.5 to 15 km spacing) and 2010 field work (Figure 3b: 0.3 to 3.5 km spacing). More detailed sampling was undertaken in 2008 in vicinity of the main Laura #1 showing (Figure 10: 16 samples over a 150 by 400 m area) and the area around the Will #1 and #2 showings (Figure 14: 20 samples over a 750 m by 2 km area). Sampling with closer spacing was also undertaken in the 2010 work at the Laura, Ursa, Central occurrences (total of 15 samples with a 50 m to 0.75 km spacing). The sampling density is considered adequate by the author as the work was undertaken at a reconnaissance scale. However, further sampling is required around the Central Occurrence found in 2010 by T. Barresi as this showing has not been examined and verifed by a qualified person. Therefore, the issuer intends to request that the author investigate this showing in the 2011 field season. The author is unaware of any sampling factors that could impact the reliability and accuracy of the chemical data. All samples selected were homogeneous with respect to grain size at the collection site. The author cautions that grab samples are by nature selective and therefore may or may not represent average values. To the author’s knowledge, laboratory sample pulps, rejects and assay certificates are kept in secure locations at the various analytical laboratories for future possible re-analysis, security and legal requirements.

Chemical analytical data for the 100 grab samples were provided by four commerical laboratories that are considered as industry leaders and accordingly I have confidence in the high standards in regards to handling, preparation, analysis and security measures employed by these labs. Examination of the analytical data on a duplicate splits of medium-grained, homogeneous quartz diorite selected in the field, revealed good agreement for the various rare-earth element of chief concern in this work (Table 9). Agreement for the LREE is generally excellent and within 5.1 % except for Eu at 16%. The HREE reveal greater analytical variation within a range of 5.2 % to 24.4% with greatest disparity with Dy, Ho and Tm. ∑REE (1.7%), ∑LREE (1.4%) and HREE (10.8%) values from ALS Chemex laboratory all showed excellent agreement for this laboratory. This lab produced the greatest amount of data for the project. Thus, the author is confident of the reliability of the analytical data for the rare-earth elements, the main focus of this work.

22. RECOMMENDATIONS

A comprehensive exploration program is proposed in order to further assess the rare-earth element mineralization on the Mount Bisson claim-block. The recommended $291, 000 exploration program falls under early stage property status according to Section 6.2 (2) of NI-43-101. Seasonal weather conditions (snow cover) prevented the author from accessing the property and obtaining surface samples at the time of the request from the issuer. The issuer will request that a site inspection be undertaken by the author as soon as practicable during the 2011 field season and file a revised technical report in due course. This recommended program would involve a 2 month time-frame that consists of line cutting, trenching, geological mapping, ground magnetic and spectrometer contract geophysical surveys, and bulk rock and soil geochemical surveys over selected areas. Particular focus should be placed in the areas that cover the Laura No.1 and 2, Pegmatite 541 and Central occurrences and associated Wolverine Range intrusions and secondly within the area that contains the,Will #1 and #2 occurrences. The rare-earth element mineralization at the Laura occurrence is exposed on a small hill that contains outcrops that are largely parallel to a modestly, southwest-dipping foliation surface. Hence, it is difficult to assess true thickness of this foliation-concordant mineralization. Outcrop is sporadic that renders evaluation of the potential thickness of the mineralization difficult. Trenching is highly recommended in this area in order to further evaluate the potential thickness and geological controls of the mineralization. This work should be undertaken in conjunction with detailed geological mapping program over at a 500 by 500 m grid centred on the Laura occurrence. As the main, medium-grained, foliated, quartz-bearing syenite and syenitic pegmatite units at the occurrence are modestly magnetic, a ground magnetic survey may further help define extent of the mineralization especially if there is a contrast with diorite of the Wolverine gneisses. Furthermore, some reconnaissance sampling of granitic rocks of the Wolverine intrusive suite should also be undertaken as the high Ba and Sr levels, which partially characterize the bedrock geochemistry at the Laura occurrence, could serve as useful pathfinder elements in the search for potentially new zones of mineralization on the property and elsewhere in the Omineca belt on a regional basis.

Future sampling elsewhere on the claim-group should also focus on various NE-SW-oriented linear magnetic anomalies previously mentioned on claims 522751 and 522745 but also evident on claims 522746 and 547760. These magnetic anomalies could represent additional rare-earth element-enriched pegmatite systems. Soil sampling is recommended for reconnaissance investigation in areas of high intensity radiometric signatures as exemplified on claims 522761, 547760, 522753 and 522740, guided by a spectrometer that may delineate areas of elevated thorium. The best pathfinder elements in the soil survey work are considered to be barium, cerium, niobium, strontium and thorium. Detailed geological mapping and sampling is recommended proximal to the Central occurrence and on claims 522747 and 533749 in vicinity of the Will #1 and #2 rare earth occurrences.. Chemical features of the M-12000 Road occurrence, as distinguished by elevated W (600 ppm) and low Ba (75 ppm) and dominance of Sr over Ba, suggest that this REE mineralization is of different character and origin vis-à-vis that from the Laura occurrence near Mount Bisson.The author cautions that mineralization at the M12000 Road occurrence is not necessarily indicative of that found on the adjacent Mount Bisson claim-block.

24. CERTIFICATE OF THE QUALIFIED PERSON

I, Frederick William Breaks of 35 Kristi Court, Sudbury, Ontario do hereby certify that:

1. I am a graduate of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Honours Geology (1968). 2. I hold a Masters of Science Degree in Geology from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario (1971). 3. I hold a Ph.D. degree in Geology from Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario (1989). 4. I have been practising my profession between 1971 and 2008 as a geoscientist with the Ontario Geological Survey and currently as an independent consulting geologist. 5. I have read the definition of “qualified person” as set out in NI 43-101 and NI43-101 Form F1 and certify that by reason of my education, affiliation with a professional association (as defined by NI43-101) and past relevant work experience, I fulfill the requirements to be a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101. This technical report has been written in compliance with that instrument and that form. 6. I am a member in good standing of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (#760). 7. I am responsible for all sections of the prepared technical report dated November 28, 2010 and titled “Geological Report on the Mount Bisson Rare-Earth Element Claim-Group” as under Section 8 of NI 43-101. As of the date of this certificate, I am unaware of any material fact or material change with regard to the property that would make this report misleading. 8. I have relied upon various sources of information provided by Paget Minerals Corporation, information in the public domain and from field observations and data collected during property visits in October 2007 and July 2008. Furthermore, I have more than 35 years of field-related experience, report writing and editing that has involved the geology and mineral deposits of the Superior and Grenville Provinces of Ontario. Many of my past projects have dealt with a wide range in rock types, structures, rare-element mineral deposits within a high grade metamorphic context very similar to the Wolverine metamorphic complex as described in this report. 9. I am independent of the Issuer Seymour Ventures Corporation and also of Paget Minerals and Pembrook Mining Corps and have no material interest in these firms or in any of their mineral properties. I have had no involvement in the Mount Bisson property prior to the initial field examination in 2007 and the most recent inspection of the property was from July 18 to 23, 2008. A site inspection by the author in regards to examination of the 2010 field work undertaken by Paget Minerals Corp, some data of which have been included in this report, was rendered impossible due to seasonal weather conditions [NI 43-101: Section 6.2 (2)] concurrent with the November 25, 2010 request by ‘Seymour’ for report revision. 10. I consent to the public filing of this Technical Report titled Geological Report on the Mount Bisson Rare-Earth Element Claim-Group and dated November 28, 2010, by Seymour Ventures Corporation, with the TSX Venture Exchange under its applicable policies and forms in connection, as stated in their November 17, 2010 News-release to be entered into by the Issuer and I acknowledge that the Technical Report will become part of the Issuer’s public record.

Electron Microprobe 2007 Composition Data

Page 123: Technical Report: Mount Bisson Property (Rare Earth Industries)

General operating conditions Mineral analyses from the Department of Earth Sciences at the Open University were collected using a

Cameca SX-100 microprobe operating in wavelength-dispersive mode and equipped with four wavelength

dispersive spectrometers. An operating voltage of 20kV and probe current of 20nA (measured on a Faraday

cage) were used. Count times varied from 20 to 80 seconds per element depending on the count rate per

second per nanoamp. This ensured that those elements with a high relative count rate were measured to a

similar precision to other elements with low relative count rates. For most minerals a beam diameter of 10

microns was used, but for beam sensitive minerals such as potassium feldspar a 20 micron beam was used

instead. Data were corrected using a 'PAP' correction procedure (Pouchou & Pichoir 1985).

Calibration standards and X-ray lines measured synthetic LiF (F K) jadeite (Na K) forsterite (Mg K) feldspar (Al, Si and K K) synthetic KCl (Cl K) bustamite (Ca and Mn K) synthetic ScPO4 (Sc K) rutile (Ti K) hematite (Fe K) willemite (Zn K) synthetic GaP (Ga K) synthetic RbBr (Rb L) synthetic SrTIO3 (Sr L) synthetic YPO4 (Y L) cassiterite (Sn L) stibnite (Sb L) synthetic zirconia (Zr L) Nb metal (Nb L) pollucite (Cs L) barite (Ba L) Ta metal (Ta M) synthetic WO3 (W M) crocoite (Pb M) synthetic Bi2Se3 (Bi M) synthetic ThO2 (Th M) synthetic UO2 (U M)

X-Ray Maps X-Ray maps were generated for several samples to verify the presence of cerium and lanthanum in various

minerals at the M-12000 Road and Ursa rare-earth element occurrences and locality 07-FWB-17. Other

elements measured were P, Ti, Zr, Fe, Mg, and Th. These maps were produced by collecting counts for

combinations of three elements over a 5-hour interval across the polished thin section surface in 768

intervals with a 10 micron step between points. The vertical dimension is 576 points at 10 micron intervals.

Colour enhancement of the various minerals was done with Adobe Photoshop 7.0® with addition of mineral

names in the report photos undertaken via graphic manipulation with CorelDRAW12®.
