1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION The Sudbury Camp Joint Venture (SCJV) was formed between Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (Wallbridge)
and Lonmin Plc (Lonmin) on January 14, 2002, to explore a suite of Wallbridge properties near Sudbury for
platinum group metals (PGEs).
This technical report was prepared by Wallbridge technical staff to summarize the results of exploration on the
SCJV properties to December 31, 2013 and to provide recommendations for further work. This report has been
prepared in compliance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and Form 43-101F1 and was
prepared for use in support of the disclosure made in its Annual Information Form. Attila Péntek, Ph.D., P.Geo.,
Senior Geologist for Wallbridge Mining Company Limited, is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical
content of this report. The author has been actively taking part in the planning, supervision and execution of
exploration programs on the SCJV properties and has visited the properties most recently in March 2014. A list of
specific reference material is provided at the end of this report.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION SCJV consists of nine Wallbridge properties including the Cascaden, Creighton South, Drury, Foy, Skynner Lake,
Trill, Trill West, Windy Lake and Worthington. These include 112 unpatented mining claims, three patents, one
lease and an Exploratory License of Occupation that cover a total of 202 square kilometres in the Sudbury area.
THE SUDBURY CAMP JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT The SCJV properties are subject to the Sudbury Camp Joint Venture Agreement between Wallbridge Mining
Company Limited (Wallbridge) and Lonmin Plc (Lonmin) dated January 14, 2002. Under the terms of the SCJV
Agreement, Lonmin must fund a minimum of $1 million in expenditures each year to maintain the option to earn
up to a 50 % interest in any property, based on its proportionate spend, at the point at which an Indicated
Resource is established on that property. Lonmin has the option to earn an additional 15 % interest by funding
work through completion of a feasibility study and securing the Wallbridge portion of financing through to
commercial production.
CALLINAN ROYALTIES CORPORATION AGREEMENT The Drury and Worthington properties are subject to a Master Agreement, First Option Agreement, and Second
Option Agreement with Callinan Royalties Corporation (Callinan), each dated December 12, 2012. Under these
agreements, Callinan may purchase up to a 2% NSR royalty on the Drury and Worthington properties at any time
during the option term by paying the following:
For the first 1 % NSR, $2M with an inflation adjustment, and
For the second 1 % NSR, a value equal to the after-tax NPV using a negotiated discount rate.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION Ni-Cu-PGE deposits in Sudbury occur within and adjacent to the Sudbury Structure that formed as a result of a
major Early Proterozoic meteorite impact 1,850 million years ago (Ames and Farrow, 2007; Figure 2). The
Sudbury Structure straddles the unconformity between Archean gneisses and plutons of the Superior Province and
overlying Paleoproterozoic Huronian supra-crustal rocks of the Southern Province. It is geographically divided
into the North, South, and East Ranges and comprises four geologic domains:
1. The Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) occurs as a 60 km x 27 km elliptical bowl-shaped body that formed
from a meteorite impact melt sheet. It consists of a basal xenolithic norite breccia (contact sublayer)
Page 5 of 72
overlain by norite, quartz-gabbro and granophyre and historically has been referred to as the "Nickel-
Bearing Irruptive", the "Sudbury Nickel Irruptive" and the "Nickel Irruptive".
2. Concentric and radial dykes of diorite, granodiorite, and quartz diorite.
3. The footwall to the SIC contains a zone, up to 80 km wide, of Archean and Proterozoic rocks that are
fractured, brecciated (Sudbury breccia), and locally partially melted (e.g. Late Granite Breccia) or
recrystallized due to the meteorite impact and subsequent emplacement of the SIC.
4. The SIC is overlain by the Whitewater Group, comprising “fall-back” super-crustal breccia of the
Onaping Formation and the overlying basin-fill sedimentary rocks of the Onwatin and Chelmsford
Formations.
MINERALIZATION Cascaden
The highest precious metal concentrations were found on the North Block and include samples returning 661 ppb
TPM and 79 ppb TPM. The latter is of particular interest in that it also had anomalous levels of copper, silver,
bismuth, tin, and tellurium and occurred within a large area of thermally altered Sudbury breccia that is mapped as
a pronounced magnetic low.
Historical grab samples on the Peninsula block assayed up to 1.72 % Cu and 0.81 % Ni in disseminations and veins
of pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization. Sampling by Wallbridge returned values up to 0.77 % Cu, up
to 0.05 % Ni, and very weakly anomalous precious metals (up to 25ppb TPM). In the central portion of the
Peninsula Block, up to 5 % disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization occurs with coarse epidote (±
amphibole) alteration in fracture fillings, massive patches, veinlets and stockworks. This mineralization is in an
area of thermally altered and bleached Sudbury breccia and thus may represent a dispersion halo of Sudbury type
mineralization.
Disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization occur across the Cascaden property and is likely
Archean in age and of little economic significant.
Creighton South
In 2005, drill hole WG-004 intersected 0.395g/t TPM (0.18 g/t Pt, 0.19 g/t Pt and 0.02 g/t Au) over a 0.3 metre
wide zone of chlorite, biotite, and pyrite alteration with trace chalcopyrite. Fluid inclusion analysis of the alteration
assemblage reported high temperature (>400°C) and highly saline (>60wt. % equiv. NaCl) conditions, similar to
fluid inclusion results from footwall ore zones throughout Sudbury.
Grab samples from several generations of quartz veins on the property carry up to 1.48 % Cu and 0.431 ppm Au.
The different generations of these veins have not been well defined and their relationship to the SIC is uncertain.
Drury
Several mineralization styles have been identified and sampled on the property. These include:
Nipissing Gabbro-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE
Semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite as well as veinlets of quartz-chalcopyrite occur beside
two historical pits close to the southern property boundary of the West Block. The mineralization trends NW-SE
parallel to the Nipissing Gabbro intrusion over a strike length of approximately 200 m.
In 2012 narrow mm-scale chalcopyrite veinlets associated with pervasive quartz-chlorite alteration/veining was
located in Nipissing Gabbro approximately 300 m away from the showing described above. Sample N986030 taken
at this location returned favorable PGE tenors with 1.5 g/t TPM associated with 0.71 % Cu.
Page 6 of 72
Leucogabbro-hosted (Drury Intrusion?) Ni-Cu-PGE
A 1 metre diameter patch containing blebby chalcopyrite was found hosted in coarse-grained leucogabbro of what
is believed to be Drury Intrusion, part of the East Bull Lake suite. The sample N984477 taken at this location
contained 1.01 g/t TPM and 1.82 % Cu.
Quartz-vein associated Au-Cu
Chalcopyrite mineralization was found associated with massive quartz veins cutting a metavolcanic unit in one
location on the Central Block. The mineralization contains anomalous Au and Ag concentrations.
Metavolcanic/metasediment-hosted Cu
In 1968 Rio Tinto and 1973 Ryanor conducted drilling and trenching to test a zone of copper mineralization hosted
in metavolcanic/metasedimentary in the Central Block. This mineralization style is probably pre-Sudbury in origin.
The mineralization contains Cu ± anomalous Ni and no anomalous PGE’s.
Foy
In south-central Foy, precious metal values up to 1.0g/t TPM and copper values of 0.79% and 0.12% with
anomalous Ag and Te were found in two samples of intermediate gneiss. The samples contained 10-15% pyrite ±
chalcopyrite and were collected on the contact with Sudbury breccia.
In the south-western portion of the property, samples of partially melted felsic gneiss with pyrite and extensive
epidote alteration returned 696ppm Cu and 23ppb TPM. Both of these occurrences may reflect primary dispersion
haloes of Sudbury-type footwall mineralization.
Skynner Lake
No SIC-related mineralization was identified on the property.
Occurrences of semi-massive and massive sulfide have been found in several areas in the property. These zones
occur in intermediate to mafic gneisses, follow the fabric of these rocks and are believed to be pre-Sudbury
(Archean?) in origin. The mineralization is dominated by pyrrhotite and pyrite with minor amounts of chalcopyrite
and is of little economic interest. Most recently in 2013, hole WSK-026 intersected an approximately 40 m wide
zone of such mineralization, Table 8 shows the assays results from the samples with anomalous Cu, Ni and Ag
values.
Trill
Trill Showing Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization
In June of 2005, a high grade Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide lens was discovered on the Trill property hosted within the
previously unrecognized Trill Offset dyke. The massive sulfide lens is approximately 65 m long, 5 m wide, dips
steeply to the north and is known to extend to about 35 m depth. Mineralization consists of pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite, pentlandite, pyrite and magnetite within an inclusion quartz diorite which is flanked by a non-
inclusion phase of quartz diorite. These relationships are typical of offset hosted Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in the
Sudbury camp. Minor violarite occurs as an oxidation product of pentlandite and merenskyite and michenerite
were identified as the main PGE-bearing phases using electron microprobe analysis. There is a crude zonation in
the mineralization where the core contains massive or inclusion bearing nickel-rich sulphides whereas the flanks
contain copper-rich vein and disseminated style mineralization.
Trill East Ni-Cu-PGE Showing
In September 2013 a new Ni-Cu-PGE showing was discovered during mechanical stripping of a new occurrence of
Inclusion QD in the Eastern part of the Trill property. The pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-millerite mineralization
Page 7 of 72
occurs mainly as irregular veins, and blebs within a chaotic breccia unit at the contact of the Trill Offset with
Sudbury breccia and granite. This assimilation/mixing breccia is referred to as metabreccia or footwall breccia
based on analogues in other Sudbury offset dyke settings. Pyrite-dominated hydrothermal veins occur cutting
granite and Sudbury breccia and contain the highest PGE tenors.
Trill West
Two kilometre strike length of the Hess Offset Dyke occurs on the Trill West property. Trenching exposed blebby
to vein-style sulfide mineralization in Inclusion-bearing QD with grab sample results up to 0.65 g/t TPM (0.24 g/t
Pt, 0.34 g/t Pd, 0.07 g/t Au), 0.17 % Cu and 0.13 % Ni.
Windy Lake
Drilling at Windy Lake has identified contact-style pyrrhotite-pentlandite-chalcopyrite mineralization hosted within sublayer norite and minor footwall Cu-PGE sulfide hosted in the footwall rocks. See mineralized drill hole intersects in.
Worthington
The Worthington property hosts a four hundred metre strike length of the Worthington Offset Dyke. Trenching and
drilling on the property located weak, blebby Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization hosted within the dyke. The best intercept
was 0.49 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 1.5 m.
Nipissing Gabbro on the property hosts several showings of Ni-Cu mineralization. Grab sample values from these
showings contained up to 1.07 % Cu and 0.69 %. The Nipissing gabbro on the property has not been explored in a
systematic and detailed manner.
DEPOSIT TYPES Sudbury is one of the most significant mining districts in the world. Historical production over the past 125 years
plus current reserves in Sudbury have been estimated at approximately 1.6 billion tonnes of ore containing over 60
million ounces of platinum group metals plus gold, over 40 billion pounds of nickel and over 35 billion pounds of
copper (Eckstrand and Hulbert, 2007; Ames and Farrow, 2007, Lightfoot and Farrow, 2002).
Significantly, despite the long history of mining significant discoveries continue to be made in Sudbury, including
over 19 million ounces of PGEs discovered in since 1990.
There are several main types of mineral deposits in the Sudbury area:
1. Contact deposits, including massive sulfide nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium and gold
mineralisation along the lower contact of the SIC, both within the contact sublayer and within the
immediately adjacent Footwall Breccia;
2. Footwall deposits, including sulfide veins and stringers containing copper, nickel, platinum, palladium,
and gold in the brecciated footwall rocks beneath the SIC;
3. Offset dyke deposits, including massive sulfide nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium and gold
mineralisation associated with brecciated and inclusion bearing phases (IQD) of the quartz diorite
offset dykes (QD);
4. Structurally and/or hydrothermally remobilized sulfide nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium and
gold mineralisation; and
5. Hybrid type deposits representing combinations of the above.
The Windy Lake and Drury properties are primarily being explored for Contact and Footwall deposits. The
Cascaden, Creighton South, Foy, and Skynner Lake properties are primarily being explored for Footwall deposits.
Page 8 of 72
The Trill West and Worthington properties are primarily being explored for Offset dyke deposits. Trill is being
explored for both Footwall and Offset dyke deposits.
DRILLING So far the SCJV has completed 138 drill holes totalling 71,684 metres on the nine properties.
INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS In terms of metal endowment, infrastructure, community support and regulatory stability, Sudbury is the most
attractive place in the world to explore for and develop large-scale copper, nickel and PGE mining projects. Despite
over 125 years of mining in the Sudbury area, very large and high grade deposits continue to be discovered.
All of the Sudbury Camp Joint Venture properties contain favourable geology for Sudbury-type deposits. A number
of geological/structural targets have been identified on each of the properties which warrant systematic deep
drilling. Highlights of the activities on SCJV properties are:
Identification of chargeability anomalies and drill targets within the strongly recrystallized Sudbury breccia
structure at Skynner Lake on the East Range of the Sudbury basin between Vale’s Victor-Capre
development project and KGHM International’s Podolsky mine,
High grade platinum group metals, nickel and copper sulfide along a 140 m mineralized trend within the
Trill Offset dyke that was discovered by Wallbridge in 2005 with drill hole intersections including 6.41 g/t
Pt + Pd + Au, 0.79 % Cu and 1.2 % Ni over 10.3 metres in WTR-012 and 8.11 g/t Pt + Pd + Au, 1.01 % Cu
and 0.81 % Ni over 8.76 metres in WTR-028. Discovery of the Trill East showing in 2013 with grab and
brick samples up to 8.93 g/t Pt + Pd + Au, 1.9 % Cu and 2.45 % Ni.
The discovery of two km of Hess Offset dyke on the Trill West Property in 2010 including disseminated
nickel, copper and PGE sulfide mineralization associated with inclusion bearing phases of the dyke. Surface
sampling has returned maximum values of 0.24 g/t Pt, 0.34 g/t Pd, 0.07 g/t Au, 0.3 % Ni and 0.17 % Cu,
Identification of a large unexplored section of the basal contact of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) at
Windy Lake immediately adjacent to numerous deposits, active mines and past producing mines in the
Onaping-Levack area,
Identification of chargeability anomaly drill targets within the Sudbury breccia structure at Foy with
several occurrences of weak mineralization including up to 1.0 g/t TPM and
The intersection of Sudbury breccia structures at Creighton South which extend from the nearby giant
deposits at Vale’s Frood-Stobie and Creighton mine and KGHM International’s Victoria discovery.
Several showings of Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization occur in East Bull Lake- and Nipissing-suite mafic rocks of
the Drury property. Grab samples returned up to 1.82 % Cu and 1.52 g/t Pt + Pd + Au. The South Range
Shear Zone exits the SIC in this area and due to the large-scale displacements along the contact there is a
possibility for the occurrence of SIC outliers.
There is a 400 m strike length of the Worthington Offset Dyke with blebby sulfide mineralization located on
the Worthington property.

content of this report. The author has been actively taking part in the planning, supervision and execution of
exploration programs on the SCJV properties and has visited the properties most recently in March 2014. A list of
specific reference material is provided at the end of this report.
Metric units are used throughout this report unless otherwise specified. Assay and analytical results are quoted in
grams per tonne (g/t), parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb) or weight percent (%). 1 g/t is equivalent to
1 ppm and 1000 ppb; 10,000 g/t is equivalent to 1%. Total precious metals (TPM) are the sum of platinum (Pt),
palladium (Pd) and gold (Au) values returned for a sample. The abbreviation for copper is Cu and nickel is Ni.
Conversion to grams per metric tonne (g/t) is done by multiplying troy ounces per short ton (Oz/t) by 34.2857142.
All dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian funds.
3. RELIANCE ON OTHER EXPERTS
Third party contractors performed and interpreted geophysical surveys for the SCJV on various properties as
indicated through the report. Similarly, third party ISO certified laboratories performed analytical work, as
described in Sections 11 and 12. The author has made every reasonable effort to ensure data quality but cannot
absolutely guarantee the data integrity. Based on their review of third party data, the author has no reason to
believe that significant errors in the data exist.

5. ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND
PHYSIOGRAPHY
The nine properties are located within a 20 km radius of the City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario (Figure 1) and are
serviced by a variety of primary and secondary paved and gravel roads, logging roads, and ATV, skidoo and drill
trials. Exploration is possible year round.
Sudbury, Ontario is Canada’s premiere mining community and has been producing nickel, copper and platinum
group metal ore for over 125 years. Highlights of the region include multiple active mines, two mills, two smelters,
quality transportation, water and power infrastructure, a well-trained mining workforce, an internationally
recognized mining service and supply sector, a community that understands and appreciates mining as part of its
heritage, and a stable political regime. Sudbury is a major northern centre of education, health services and
industry, and is the location of the main office for the Ontario Geological Survey.
Land uses in the City of Greater Sudbury and outlying area include private and public recreational activities
(hunting, fishing, canoeing, cottages, and camping), mining, mineral exploration, forestry and commercial fishing.
The Sudbury Basin is drained by watersheds of the Wanapitei, Vermillion and Spanish Rivers, which define
Traditional Lands of the Wahnapitae, Sagamok and Whitefish First Nations, respectively. Wanapitei Lake is one of
the water sources for the City of Greater Sudbury. Ontario Hydro has a dam for hydro-electric power generation at
the south end of Outlet Bay in Scadding Twp., which also controls the water levels on the lake.
Elevations in the area range from about 260 to 500 m above sea level. The topography includes rolling hills, linear
lakes, steep north-south trending bluffs (<50 metres relief), and expansive low, marshy, areas. Vegetation consists
of white spruce, black spruce, white pine, red pine, jack pine, poplar, various maple species and oak. Alder, cedar,
white ash, Labrador Tea, grasses and cattails grow in the lower wet areas.

7. GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION
Ni-Cu-PGE deposits in Sudbury occur within and adjacent to the Sudbury Structure that formed as a result of a
major Early Proterozoic meteorite impact 1,850 million years ago (Ames and Farrow, 2007; Figure 2). The
Sudbury Structure straddles the unconformity between Archean gneisses and plutons of the Superior Province and
overlying Paleoproterozoic Huronian supra-crustal rocks of the Southern Province. It is geographically divided
into the North, South, and East Ranges and comprises four geologic domains:
5. The Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) occurs as a 60 km x 27 km elliptical bowl-shaped body that formed
from a meteorite impact melt sheet. It consists of a basal xenolithic norite breccia (contact sublayer)
overlain by norite, quartz-gabbro and granophyre and historically has been referred to as the "Nickel-
Bearing Irruptive", the "Sudbury Nickel Irruptive" and the "Nickel Irruptive".
6. Concentric and radial dykes of diorite, granodiorite, and quartz diorite.
7. The footwall to the SIC contains a zone, up to 80 km wide, of Archean and Proterozoic rocks that are
fractured, brecciated (Sudbury breccia), and locally partially melted (e.g. Late Granite Breccia) or
recrystallized due to the meteorite impact and subsequent emplacement of the SIC.
8. The SIC is overlain by the Whitewater Group, comprising “fall-back” super-crustal breccia of the
Onaping Formation and the overlying basin-fill sedimentary rocks of the Onwatin and Chelmsford
Formations.
Mineral deposit types associated with the SIC are described in more detail in Section 8.
Geology compilation maps for each of the SCJV properties are shown in Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure
7, Figure 8, and Figure 9.

MINERALIZATION
CASCADEN The highest precious metal concentrations were found on the North Block and include samples returning 661 ppb
TPM and 79 ppb TPM. The latter is of particular interest in that it also had anomalous levels of copper, silver,
bismuth, tin, and tellurium and occurred within a large area of thermally altered Sudbury breccia that is mapped as
a pronounced magnetic low.
Historical grab samples on the Peninsula block assayed up to 1.72 % Cu and 0.81 % Ni in disseminations and veins
of pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization. Sampling by Wallbridge returned values up to 0.77 % Cu, up
to 0.05 % Ni, and very weakly anomalous precious metals (up to 25ppb TPM). In the central portion of the
Peninsula Block, up to 5 % disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization occurs with coarse epidote (±
amphibole) alteration in fracture fillings, massive patches, veinlets and stockworks. This mineralization is in an
area of thermally altered and bleached Sudbury breccia and thus may represent a dispersion halo of Sudbury type
mineralization.
Disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization occur across the Cascaden property and is likely
Archean in age and of little economic significant.
CREIGHTON SOUTH In 2005, drill hole WG-004 intersected 0.395g/t TPM (0.18 g/t Pt, 0.19 g/t Pt and 0.02 g/t Au) over a 0.3 metre
wide zone of chlorite, biotite, and pyrite alteration with trace chalcopyrite. Fluid inclusion analysis of the alteration
assemblage reported high temperature (>400°C) and highly saline (>60wt. % equiv. NaCl) conditions, similar to
fluid inclusion results from footwall ore zones throughout Sudbury.
Grab samples from several generations of quartz veins on the property carry up to 1.48 % Cu and 0.431 ppm Au.
The different generations of these veins have not been well defined and their relationship to the SIC is uncertain.
DRURY Several mineralization styles have been identified and sampled on the property. These include:
1) Nipissing Gabbro-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE
Semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite as well as veinlets of quartz-chalcopyrite occur beside
two historical pits close to the southern property boundary of the West Block. The mineralization trends NW-SE
parallel to the Nipissing Gabbro intrusion over a strike length of approximately 200 m. Mineralized samples taken
from this location were compiled in Table 3.
Table 3. Mineralized grab samples from the Nipissing Gabbro-hosted Ni-Cu-(PGE) showing near the southern property boundary on the West Block
38
In 2012 narrow mm-scale chalcopyrite veinlets associated with pervasive quartz-chlorite alteration/veining was
located in Nipissing Gabbro approximately 300 m away from the showing described above. Sample N986030 taken
at this location returned favorable PGE tenors with 1.5 g/t TPM (Table 4) associated with 0.71 % Cu.
Table 4. Mineralized grab samples taken from alteration in Nipissing Gabbro on the West Block
2) Leucogabbro-hosted (Drury Intrusion?) Ni-Cu-PGE
A 1 metre diameter patch containing blebby chalcopyrite was found hosted in coarse-grained leucogabbro of what
is believed to be Drury Intrusion, part of the East Bull Lake suite. The sample N984477 taken at this location
contained 1.01 g/t TPM and 1.82 % Cu (Table 5).
Table 5. Mineralized grab sample taken from leucogabbro on the Central Block
3) 3) Quartz-vein associated Au-Cu
Chalcopyrite mineralization was found associated with massive quartz veins cutting a metavolcanic unit in
one location on the Central Block. The mineralization contains anomalous Au and Ag concentrations (Table 6).
Table 6. Mineralized grab samples from Cu-Au-Ag bearing quartz-veins in metavolcanic unit on the Central Block
4) Metavolcanic/metasediment-hosted Cu
In 1968 Rio Tinto and 1973 Ryanor conducted drilling and trenching to test a zone of copper
mineralization hosted in metavolcanic/metasedimentary in the Central Block.
Table 7 shows drill hole intersects as reported by Ryanor. Wallbridge re-sampled this mineralization in 2002 and
2008. These assays are found in Table 8. This mineralization style is probably pre-Sudbury in origin. The
mineralization contains Cu ± anomalous Ni and no anomalous PGE’s.
Table 7. Diamond drill hole intersects from Ryanor’s 1973 drill campaign

R-4 0.27% Cu over 5 feet

R-6 0.47% Cu over 49 feet

39
Table 8. Mineralized grab samples from the metavolcanic/metasedimentary-hosted Cu mineralization
FOY In south-central Foy, precious metal values up to 1.0g/t TPM and copper values of 0.79% and 0.12% with
anomalous Ag and Te were found in two samples of intermediate gneiss. The samples contained 10-15% pyrite ±
chalcopyrite and were collected on the contact with Sudbury breccia.
In the south-western portion of the property, samples of partially melted felsic gneiss with pyrite and extensive
epidote alteration returned 696ppm Cu and 23ppb TPM. Both of these occurrences may reflect primary dispersion
haloes of Sudbury-type footwall mineralization.
SKYNNER LAKE No SIC-related mineralization was identified on the property.
Occurrences of semi-massive and massive sulfide have been found in several areas in the property. These zones
occur in intermediate to mafic gneisses, follow the fabric of these rocks and are believed to be pre-Sudbury
(Archean?) in origin. The mineralization is dominated by pyrrhotite and pyrite with minor amounts of chalcopyrite
and is of little economic interest. Most recently in 2013, hole WSK-026 intersected an approximately 40 m wide
zone of such mineralization, Table 9 shows the assays results from the samples with anomalous Cu, Ni and Ag
values.

TRILL
1) Trill Showing Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization
In June of 2005, a high grade Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide lens was discovered on the Trill property hosted within the
previously unrecognized Trill Offset dyke. The massive sulfide lens is approximately 65 m long, 5 m wide, dips
steeply to the north and is known to extend to about 35 m depth. Mineralization consists of pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite, pentlandite, pyrite and magnetite within an inclusion quartz diorite which is flanked by a non-
inclusion phase of quartz diorite. These relationships are typical of offset hosted Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in the
Sudbury camp. Minor violarite occurs as an oxidation product of pentlandite and merenskyite and michenerite
were identified as the main PGE-bearing phases using electron microprobe analysis. There is a crude zonation in
the mineralization where the core contains massive or inclusion bearing nickel-rich sulphides whereas the flanks
contain copper-rich vein and disseminated style mineralization.

2) Trill East Ni-Cu-PGE Showing
In September 2013 a new Ni-Cu-PGE showing was discovered during mechanical stripping of a new occurrence of
Inclusion QD in the Eastern part of the Trill property. The pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-millerite mineralization
occurs mainly as irregular veins, and blebs within a chaotic breccia unit at the contact of the Trill Offset with
Sudbury breccia and granite. This assimilation/mixing breccia is referred to as metabreccia or footwall breccia
based on analogues in other Sudbury offset dyke settings. Pyrite-dominated hydrothermal veins occur cutting
granite and Sudbury breccia and contain the highest PGE tenors.

8. DEPOSIT TYPES
Sudbury is one of the most significant mining districts in the world. Historical production over the past 125 years
plus current reserves in Sudbury have been estimated at approximately 1.6 billion tonnes of ore containing over 60
million ounces of platinum group metals plus gold, over 40 billion pounds of nickel and over 35 billion pounds of
copper (Eckstrand and Hulbert, 2007; Ames and Farrow, 2007, Lightfoot and Farrow, 2002).
Significantly, despite the long history of mining significant discoveries continue to be made in Sudbury, including
over 19 million ounces of PGEs discovered in since 1990 (Table 14).

There are several main types of mineral deposits in the Sudbury area:
6. Contact deposits, including massive sulfide nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium and gold
mineralisation along the lower contact of the SIC, both within the contact sublayer and within the
immediately adjacent Footwall Breccia;
7. Footwall deposits, including sulfide veins and stringers containing copper, nickel, platinum, palladium,
and gold in the brecciated footwall rocks beneath the SIC;
8. Offset dyke deposits, including massive sulfide nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium and gold
mineralisation associated with brecciated and inclusion bearing phases (IQD) of the quartz diorite
offset dykes (QD);
9. Structurally and/or hydrothermally remobilized sulfide nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium and
gold mineralisation; and
10. Hybrid type deposits representing combinations of the above.
The Windy Lake and Drury properties are primarily being explored for Contact and Footwall deposits. The
Cascaden, Creighton South, Foy, and Skynner Lake properties are primarily being explored for Footwall deposits.
The Trill West and Worthington properties are primarily being explored for Offset dyke deposits. Trill is being
explored for both Footwall and Offset dyke deposits.
45
CONTACT DEPOSITS The best Contact deposit analogue for Windy Lake would be Glencore’s Onaping depth deposit located in the
Levack area along strike of Windy Lake 4 kms to the east (Figure 3). The Onaping depth deposit includes Measured
and Indicated resources totalling 14.5 million tonnes grading 1.67 % nickel, 1.25 % copper, 0.06 % cobalt, 0.45 g/t
platinum, and 0.52 g/t palladium and Inferred resources totalling 1.2 million tonnes grading 3.6 % nickel, 1.2 %
copper, 0.1 % cobalt, 0.5 g/t platinum and 0.5 g/t palladium (Xstrata Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves as at
June 30, 2010). Wallbridge’s conceptual exploration target for Contact deposits includes 10 to 20 million tonnes
containing 1-1.2 g/t platinum plus palladium plus gold, 1.5-4 % nickel, and 1-1.5 % copper. This represents a body
that is several hundred metres in strike length, 10-20 metres in thickness and 100’s of metres of plunge extent.
This target is conceptual in nature, is based on examples of Offset dyke deposits elsewhere in Sudbury and is not
necessarily indicative of mineralisation on the SCJV properties. There has been insufficient work on the SCJV
properties to determine whether deposits of this size and grade exist on the Property
Target mineralization includes shallowly dipping massive and semi-massive accumulations of sulphide, including
pyrrhotite > chalcopyrite > pentlandite concentrated within embayment depressions along the base of the Sudbury
Igneous Complex.
The massive and semi-massive accumulations of sulphide are strongly conductive and borehole EM is used
routinely on all drill holes of significant depth. The rule of thumb is that current borehole EM technology (BHUTEM
4) can detect an off-hole conductor about the same distance as the median dimension of that conductor, with
several practical caveats. Maximum effectiveness requires strong coupling between the loop configuration and the
conductor. As well, quality low-noise data depends on precise knowledge of transmitter-receiver geometry, which
requires gyro surveying of the borehole and sub-metre GPS surveying of the borehole collar and loop
configuration. Due to the fragmental nature of the ore deposits and host rocks, a deposit might not be electrically
continuous and actually made up of several conductors; in this case the distance it can be detected from will be
reduced relative to the overall size of the sulphide mass. In practice, for the target type in question and providing
there is quality data, borehole EM is thought to dependably test a radius of 75-100 metres around the drill hole.
FOOTWALL DEPOSITS Examples of recent Footwall deposit discoveries in the region include the McCreedy East Footwall deposits at
Vale’s Coleman Mine (the 148, 153 and 170 orebodies; Table 14, Figure 10), the Footwall ore bodies at Glencore’s
Nickel Rim South Mine (Table 14, Figure 10), and the footwall deposits at Vale’s Victor and Capre development
project (Table 14, Figure 10). The conceptual exploration target for Footwall deposit targets includes 2 to 10
million tonnes containing 1-5 g/t platinum, 1-5 g/t palladium, 1-10 % copper, 0.5-2 g/t gold, and 0.1-3 % nickel.
This represents a body that is 50-100 metres in strike length, 10-20 metres in thickness and 100’s of metres of
plunge extent. This target is conceptual in nature, is based on examples of Footwall deposits elsewhere in Sudbury
and is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the SCJV Properties. There has been insufficient work on the
property to determine whether deposits of this size and grade exist on the SCJV Properties.
Target mineralization includes networks of meter to ten meter sized massive sulfide veins, stockworks of smaller
centimeter to meter sized sulfide veinlets and low sulfide alteration zones with weak sulfide disseminations,
including chalcopyrite > pentlandite +/- pyrrhotite, millerite, cubanite, bornite, and pyrite. Footwall deposits are
hosted by Sudbury breccia structures.
Sulfide veins within Footwall deposits are variably conductive and chargeable. Airborne, ground and borehole EM
as well as ground and borehole DCIP surveys can be effective in directly detecting the sulfide veins. However, due
to the potentially small physical size of individual conductive veins and the low sulfide nature of some of the PGE
46
rich Footwall deposits, the detectable distance of geophysical techniques may be quite limited. Exploration
requires careful geological mapping to understand structural controls, drilling and extensive sampling.
OFFSET DYKE DEPOSITS Examples of recent Offset dyke deposit discoveries in the region include the Kelly Lake Deposit within the Copper
Cliff Offset dyke (Table 14, Figure 11) and the Totten and Victoria deposits within the Worthington Offset dyke
(Table 14, Figure 12). The conceptual exploration target for Offset deposit target includes 2 to 10 million tonnes
containing 1-3 g/t platinum, 1-3 g/t palladium, 1-3 % copper, 0.5-2 g/t gold, and 1-3 % nickel. This represents a
body that is 50-100 metres in strike length, 10-20 metres in thickness and 100’s of metres of plunge extent. This
target is conceptual in nature, is based on examples of Offset dyke deposits elsewhere in Sudbury and is not
necessarily indicative of mineralisation on the SCJV Properties. There has been insufficient work on the SCJV
Properties to determine whether deposits of this size and grade exist on the Property.
Target mineralization includes massive and semi-massive accumulations of sulphide, including pyrrhotite >
chalcopyrite > pentlandite. Sulphide accumulations are associated with inclusion bearing phases of quartz diorite
and are known to concentrate in structural traps such as vertical or horizontal pinches or terminations in the dyke,
bends in the dyke, splays/convergences of dyke branches, along the margins or within “pressure shadows” of large
blocks caught up in the dyke, and at intersections of the offset dykes with coarse mafic intrusions in the wall rock.
Increased PGEs are typically associated with more fractionated chalcopyrite rich zones within Offset dyke deposits,
which can extend from the dyke outwards into the surrounding country rock, where it often associated with
adjacent zones of Sudbury breccia, meta-breccia or anatexite.
These structural traps are largely controlled by the geology of the wall rock to the Offset dykes (geological units,
contacts and structures). Understanding these wall rocks is crucial to developing and prioritizing drill targets
below the depth of penetration of surface geophysics.
The massive and semi-massive accumulations of sulphide are strongly conductive and borehole EM is used
routinely on all drill holes of significant depth. The rule of thumb is that current borehole EM technology (BHUTEM
4) can detect an off-hole conductor about the same distance as the median dimension of that conductor, with
several practical caveats. Maximum effectiveness requires strong coupling between the loop configuration and the
conductor. As well, quality low-noise data depends on precise knowledge of transmitter-receiver geometry, which
requires gyro surveying of the borehole and sub-metre GPS surveying of the borehole collar and loop
configuration. Due to the fragmental nature of the ore deposits and host rocks, a deposit might not be electrically
continuous and actually made up of several conductors; in this case the distance it can be detected from will be
reduced relative to the overall size of the sulphide mass. In practice, for the target type in question and providing
there is quality data, borehole EM is thought to dependably test a radius of 75-100 metres around the drill hole.

11. SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES, AND SECURITY
All Wallbridge staff members are trained on the importance of sample security and integrity. For samples collected
by Wallbridge since July 2005, the following procedures were followed.
Grab samples and representative splits were described, bagged, and assigned a sample number in the field,
brought to the Wallbridge office in Lively, Ontario, and then transported to a sample preparation laboratory in
Sudbury, Ontario. Representative sample splits were stored, either permanently or temporarily, for future
reference at the Wallbridge head office in Lively, Ontario.
Field samples were taken of outcrops with visible sulfides or strong epidote, amphibole, chlorite, or hematite
alteration or signs of SIC-related partial melting. Representative samples of Sudbury breccia matrix were taken for
TPM (fire assay, ICP-AES), ICP-MS and Cl and F analyses, and thin sections were made to determine the degree of
thermal metamorphism and alteration of the breccia. Any rock that was suspected to be quartz diorite, or was
suspected to be the cause of any geophysical anomaly was sampled and sent for whole rock and REE analysis in
addition to Wallbridge’s standard ICP-MS and TPM (fire assay, ICP-AES) analytical methods. Samples and
representatives were numbered and bagged in the field, sample locations were recorded using a handheld GPS or
plotted from field maps, and a metal tag with the sample number was generally left at the site. Sample sites also
were flagged, with the sample number written on the flag.
During the drilling programs, core samples were transported from the field to the Wallbridge head office by
company personnel. Cores were logged and sample intervals marked by Wallbridge geologists, or by personnel
under their supervision. Drill core sampling was controlled by lithology, alteration or visible mineralization, with a
maximum sample length of 1.5m. All Sudbury breccia and quartz diorite was sampled. Diabase was sampled to
provide background values and to build a database of geochemical data that could be used to differentiate this rock
type from quartz diorite.
All drill core samples were split using a water cooled diamond saw that is cleaned regularly to avoid sample to
sample contamination. Half of the core was submitted to the lab for analysis and the other half was retained on
outdoor, roofed core racks at the Wallbridge head office at 129 Fielding Road, Lively, Ontario as a representative
sample or for possible re-sampling. Every effort was taken to ensure that the sample sent to the lab was
representative of the entire section of core; however, due to nugget effects and the heterogeneity that is common
with PGE mineralization, it is not guaranteed that an assay could be repeated.
All samples were sealed (stapled) in individual, labelled plastic bags with a sample tag. If a thin section was
requested, a portion of the sample was cut from the grab sample at the same time. Standards (LDI-3 STD) and field
blanks are submitted at least every twentieth sample, or as the last samples to be submitted in a batch. The sample
book used to track the samples has four partitions with the sample number on each tag. One tag goes with the
geological reference, one with the lab sample, one with the thin section and the remaining part of the tag book is
stored at the Wallbridge Office in Lively, Ontario.
Since July, 2005, samples have been sent to ALS Minerals, an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified
service provider, for geochemical analyses. Before December, 2005, samples shipped to ALS Minerals were
delivered to the preparation facility in Toronto by an independent trucking company.
At ALS Minerals, samples were checked against requisition documents prior to being dried, weighed, crushed to
≥70% passing 2mm and split to 250 gram fractions using a Jones riffle and pulverized split to ≥85% passing 75
micron and then transported by ALS Minerals to their analytical facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2011,
Wallbridge began adopting the use of 1kg splits to improve compositional representation for some sampling.
62
Samples were analyzed for gold, platinum, and palladium by standard lead collection fire assay fusion followed by
a combination of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-
AES). Samples were also analyzed for 48 base metals and trace elements using a four acid (HNO3-HCIO4-HF and
HCI) near total digestion and a combination of ICP-MS and ICP-AES. ICP-MS over limits were re-analyzed using HF-
HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach and ICP-AES. In the event of higher grade mineralization, the preference
was to analyze sample groups by submitting the samples directly for analytical methods described for over limits.
These analytical methods, also referred to as High Grade/Ores Methods, are comprised of HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid
digestion, HCl leach and ICP-AES. In addition to High Grade/Ores Methods, sulphur was analyzed using Total
Sulphur by LECO to accommodate the anticipated higher sulphur levels.
Selected samples were subjected to whole rock and rare earth element (REE) analysis. These samples were
subjected to Lithium Borate fusion with ICP-AES for oxides, and Lithium Metaborate fusion with ICP-MS for trace
and rare earth element evaluation.
Selected samples of Sudbury breccia matrix were analyzed for chlorine and fluorine using KOH fusion specific ion
electrode (ELE81A) and Neutron Activation (NAA-06) procedures.
ALS Minerals has a rigorous internal security and client confidentiality policy; details are available through their
website: www.alsglobal.com.
ALS Minerals provided assay results to the Wallbridge Assay Manager who sends them to the project geologist via
email.
Prior to July 2005, Wallbridge core and grab samples were analyzed by SGS Mineral Services, an ISO 9000 certified,
geochemical exploration and research analysis facility which maintains a sample preparation lab in Sudbury.
Samples sent to them were routinely dried, crushed, riffle split, and pulverized to produce 250 gram 85% -75
micron assay grade pulps. These pulps were subsequently transported to SGS analytical facilities in Rouyn-
Noranda, PQ, for platinum group element analyses by fire assay, and to Toronto for ICP multi-element geochemical
analysis.
SGS analyzed the submitted samples for platinum group metals using a nominal 30 gram trace level fire assay lead
collection procedure with ICP finish. Over-limit samples were subjected to an ore grade fire assay gravimetric
analysis method. Base metal assaying was done in their Toronto laboratory using a combination of multi-acid
digestion (ICP-40B) and ICP-MS methods to produce a 32 element suite of base metal and background results.
Over-limit samples from the ICM40B method for Cu, Ni, and Co were treated to dedicated analysis using a sodium
peroxide fusion ICP - resource definition procedure. Silver and sulfur values were determined by aqua-regia
digest, AA finish, and LECO titration methods.
12. DATA VERIFICATION
A reference material standard (LDI-3 STD) was submitted at least every twentieth sample, or as the second to last
sample to be submitted in a batch. Blanks from un-mineralized quartzite were also submitted in sequence
following the standard and potentially high grade samples to check for contamination during the sample
preparation. LDI-3 is a non-certified standard supplied by North American Palladium Ltd. It comprises high grade
gabbro collected in 2001 at the Lac des Iles PGE deposit, located 85km north of Thunder Bay Ontario. Provisional
compositional data for it is provided by the Ontario Geoscience Laboratories.
63
ALS Minerals has accreditation to ISO 9001:2000 standards and completes a rigorous internal quality-assurance,
quality control assessment prior to releasing the finalized analytical results with a certificate. Details are available
on their website: www.alsglobal.com
An initial visual inspection of the Wallbridge submitted standard and blank data included or related to this report
has been made. If there had been a discrepancy between the measured and reported values of the standard and
blank samples then the lab would have been contacted. The results of the Wallbridge quality control analyses done
by ALS Minerals for drill core samples are stored in the drill core database and those from the field samples are
stored in the report database. ALS Minerals also supplies their internal QC data which consists of standards, blanks
and duplicates; Wallbridge stores these in certificate form.
13. MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
No metallurgical test work has been carried out.
14. MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
No estimates of mineral resources have been prepared for mineralization on any of the properties.
15. MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATION
No estimates of mineral reserves have been prepared for mineralization on any of the properties.
23. ADJACENT PROPERTIES
Information regarding adjacent properties is gathered from the author’s experience working in the area and
sources that are believed to be reliable. The author is unable to verify information regarding adjacent properties.
Information on adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the SCJV properties.
The SCJV properties are located in the Sudbury Mining Camp, an area that has been mined and explored for the
past 125 years. Adjacent properties include those being mined and/or aggressively explored by Vale, Glencore
Xstrata, and KGHM International. While the location of the SCJV properties adjacent to these various operations is
highly favourable, results on adjacent properties will not necessarily reflect results on the SCJV properties.
CASCADEN The Cascaden property is in the immediate footwall to the Windy Lake Embayment, discovered by Wallbridge. The
property is also within 5 km of the Onaping-Levack Embayment, which is one of the most endowed Ni-Cu-PGE
mining areas in Sudbury and has supported several important mines of Vale, Glencore Xstrata and KGHM
International over the past 100 years.
CREIGHTON SOUTH The Creighton South property is located on the South Range immediately south of Vale’s Creighton and Gertrude
mines. The Creighton mine has been in almost continuous production for over 100 years. Vale’s mined-out Crean
Hill deposit is less than 5km to the north-west and hosts a new footwall-style PGE discovery made by the
Lonmin/Vale Inco joint venture. Within 4km of the north-western Creighton claim boundary is First Nickel’s
64
Lockerby Mine (formerly owned by Glencore Xstrata), and their West Graham open pit resource. There are
numerous other occurrences between Lockerby and Creighton Mine.
DRURY The Dury property is in the footwall of an embayment that hosts the Sultana deposit and is being actively explored
by Glencore Xstrata in the recent years. The property is also within 10 km Northwest of Vale’s new Totten Mine
and KGHM International’s recent discovery on their Victoria property.
FOY The Foy property lies adjacent to Glencore Xstrata’s Premier Ridge deposit, which hosts contact- and footwall-style
Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in a near surface resource. Recent drilling less than 500 m to the south of the Foy
property has discovered contact- and footwall-style mineralization at depth, which bodes well for a discovery on
the Foy property.
On Wallbridge’s Rudy’s Lake property to the Southwest of Foy across the Sandcherry Creek fault there are
occurrences of QD pods and dykelets in Sudbury breccia, which is trending NE, towards the Foy property. It is
unclear what the offset on the Sandcherry fault zone is, however the potential exists for the QD-bearing Sudbury
breccia to be present on the Foy property as well.
SKYNNER LAKE The Skynner Lake property is south and contiguous with KGHM International’s Podolsky Mine property and the
historic Whistle Mine. Skynner Lake is also north and contiguous with Wallbridge’s Frost Lake Joint Venture that
includes the Amy Lake Cu-PGE occurrence. Immediately west of Skynner Lake is an area that is being aggressively
explored by both Vale and Glencore Xstrata.
TRILL On the western end of the basin, the Trill property is adjacent to the Trill embayment within which two Ni-Cu-PGE
deposits have been defined by Vale. It is 10-12 km to the northwest of Vale’s new Totten Mine and KGHM
International’s recent discovery on their Victoria property.
TRILL WEST The Trill West property lies adjacent to the Ministic Embayment and Offset Dyke, and the Windy Lake Embayment,
discovered by Wallbridge.
WINDY LAKE On the Windy Lake property Wallbridge discovered an embayment structure that is within 10 km southwest of the
Onaping-Levack Embayment, which is one of the most endowed Ni-Cu-PGE mining areas in Sudbury and has
supported several important mines of Vale, Glencore Xstrata and KGHM International over the past 100 years.
WORTHINGTON The Worthington property exposes 400 m strike lengths of the Worthington Offset Dyke which is one of the most
significant offset dykes in Sudbury. Among numerous other deposits, this dyke hosts Vale’s new Totten Mine and
KGHM International’s recent discovery on their Victoria property.

25. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
In terms of metal endowment, infrastructure, community support and regulatory stability, Sudbury is the most
attractive place in the world to explore for and develop large-scale copper, nickel and PGE mining projects. Despite
over 125 years of mining in the Sudbury area, very large and high grade deposits continue to be discovered.
All of the Sudbury Camp Joint Venture properties contain favourable geology for Sudbury-type deposits. A number
of geological/structural targets have been identified on each of the properties which warrant systematic deep
drilling. Highlights of the activities on SCJV properties are:
Identification of chargeability anomalies and drill targets within the strongly recrystallized Sudbury breccia
structure at Skynner Lake on the East Range of the Sudbury basin between Vale’s Victor-Capre
development project and KGHM International’s Podolsky mine,
High grade platinum group metals, nickel and copper sulfide along a 140 m mineralized trend within the
Trill Offset dyke that was discovered by Wallbridge in 2005 with drill hole intersections including 6.41 g/t
Pt + Pd + Au, 0.79 % Cu and 1.2 % Ni over 10.3 metres in WTR-012 and 8.11 g/t Pt + Pd + Au, 1.01 % Cu
and 0.81 % Ni over 8.76 metres in WTR-028. Discovery of the Trill East showing in 2013 with grab and
brick samples up to 8.93 g/t Pt + Pd + Au, 1.9 % Cu and 2.45 % Ni.
The discovery of two km of Hess Offset dyke on the Trill West Property in 2010 including disseminated
nickel, copper and PGE sulfide mineralization associated with inclusion bearing phases of the dyke. Surface
sampling has returned maximum values of 0.24 g/t Pt, 0.34 g/t Pd, 0.07 g/t Au, 0.3 % Ni and 0.17 % Cu,
Identification of a large unexplored section of the basal contact of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) at
Windy Lake immediately adjacent to numerous deposits, active mines and past producing mines in the
Onaping-Levack area,
Identification of chargeability anomaly drill targets within the Sudbury breccia structure at Foy with
several occurrences of weak mineralization including up to 1.0 g/t TPM and
The intersection of Sudbury breccia structures at Creighton South which extend from the nearby giant
deposits at Vale’s Frood-Stobie and Creighton mine and KGHM International’s Victoria discovery.
Several showings of Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization occur in East Bull Lake- and Nipissing-suite mafic rocks of
the Drury property. Grab samples returned up to 1.82 % Cu and 1.52 g/t Pt + Pd + Au. The South Range
Shear Zone exits the SIC in this area and due to the large-scale displacements along the contact there is a
possibility for the occurrence of SIC outliers.
There is a 400 m strike length of the Worthington Offset Dyke with blebby sulfide mineralization located on
the Worthington property.
CASCADEN The Cascaden Property is located on the North Range of the Sudbury Basin in the immediate footwall to the SIC at
Windy Lake. It is being explored for Sudbury Offset Dyke hosted and Sudbury Footwall type deposits.
Mapping on Wallbridge’s Cascaden North property has outlined a new Sudbury Offset Dyke (Cascaden Offset Dyke)
five kilometres to the northwest. The projected trend of the dyke crosses the Cascaden property and intercepts the
SIC contact in the Windy Lake area.
The northern claim block of the property is within two kilometres of the prolific mineralized Levack Embayment.
Mapping and sampling in the block has outlined areas with anomalous PGE concentrations and geophysical
surveys have produced some suspicious geophysical trends, however nothing was definitive. One of the most
66
interesting trends that has not been adequately explored is a curvilinear magnetic low believed to be part of the
North Range Breccia Belt. The belt is a 29 kilometre long curvilinear Sudbury breccia structure that is up to 200
metres wide and forms a continuous topographic and magnetic lineament. The lineament extends from the
Trillabelle Embayment in the southwest, crossing the northern block of the Cascaden Property and trends towards
the Levack Embayment in the northeast.
The North Range Breccia Belt may represent a similar structural setting as the South Range Breccia Belt, which
host the world class Frood-Stobie deposit. Both have significant strike lengths and width suggesting their
significance as major zones of weakness and permeability active during the formation of the SIC.
There remain a number of unexplained Titan chargeability and resistivity low responses in central Cascaden. The
anomalous Cu, Ag and Pb values, well-developed epidote +/- actinolite and hematite alteration encountered in drill
holes and in surface mapping, and the coincident geophysical evidence such as magnetic low extending from a
mineralized embayment suggest this area is favourable for footwall mineralization.
CREIGHTON SOUTH The Creighton South property occurs just south of Vale’s Creighton Mine, one of the richest and longest lived mines
in Canada’s history, having been in near continuous production for over 100 years. Numerous Sudbury breccia
structures have been mapped both radiating from the SIC near the Creighton mine, and some striking parallel to
the SIC as part of the South Range breccia belt. These structures and surrounding rocks are prospective for
platinum, palladium, nickel, copper and gold mineralization. Further work is warranted to understand these
structures and explore them to depth.
Sudbury breccia has long been a focal point of the Creighton South property. KGHM’s recent deep mineralization at
their Victoria property is associated with SDBX and thus similar to the Frood-Stobie complex. Creighton South is
interpreted to host the central portion of the SDBX belt that connects these two zones, and could host similar
mineralization at depth.
DRURY Several Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization styles were recognized associated with gabbroic rocks of Nipissing- and East Bull
Lake affinity. Both mafic suites are known to host potentially economic Ni-Cu-PGE zones in the wider Sudbury area.
Trenching of some of the showings is warranted to better understand the distribution of the PGE-bearing
assemblages. Airborne EM is recommended to test for conductors associated with these rock types.
The property is located where the South Range Shear Zone exits the SIC and there are significant displacements
along some of the faults. This resulted the emplacement of the Perimaki outlier into the SIC footwall, detached from
the rest of the SIC. Structural modeling by Wallbridge suggests that it is possible other outliers exist at depth on the
Drury property in the form of buried SIC slabs at depth.
FOY The Foy Property is located in the footwall to the North Range of the SIC, 350m from Glencore Xstrata’s Premier
Ridge deposit. Work to date has identified a number of prospective geological targets on the property and
additional work is warranted.
One of the exploration targets for the SCJV was the Foy structure, a large NW-SE fault zone that intersects the SIC at
the Premier Ridge deposit, which is depleted in Cu and PGE suggesting that these metals may have migrated into
the footwall, potentially along the large scale Foy structure.
The Southern part of Foy is underlain by massive zones of strongly recrystallized Sudbury breccia with SIC-related
partial melting and hydrothermal alteration and anomalous Cu and PGE concentrations. These are all indicators
67
that this area is a favourable environment to host footwall-style mineralization. This area has had limited drilling
and significant further work is warranted.
SKYNNER LAKE The East Range Sudbury breccia structure extends for 5 kilometres strike length across the Skynner Lake property.
This structure hosts significant mineralization south of the property at the Amy Lake PGE zone on Wallbridge’s
adjacent Frost Lake property and at Vale’s deposits.
Much of the drilling carried out by the SCJV on the property was aimed at testing geophysical anomalies associated
with the Sudbury breccia structure.
Most recently, the 2013 exploration program outlined a Sudbury breccia zone south of Skynner Lake in the North
Block of the Property. Deepening of WSK-008 revealed that this area is underlain by massive Sudbury breccia that
has been recrystallized to depths of at least 800-900 metres by heat generated from the SIC. Surface mapping and
the shallow drill holes WSK-001 and -005 indicate that this breccia zone extends about 500-600 m North of WSK-
008. Although no footwall-style mineralization was encountered so far in the area, SIC-related partial melting and
hydrothermal alteration is abundant in this recrystallized Sudbury breccia which is in the footwall to sulfide-
bearing Sublayer just west of the property boundary. This breccia zone represents a favorable geologic
environment for Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization. Drilling of two deep (1,000-1,200 m) holes is warranted to explore this
Sudbury breccia target.
The Sudbury breccia structure remains untested in the Northern part of the property and over most of its strike
length below 500 m depth.
TRILL The Trill Property is a large property on the western rim of the Sudbury basin and has a number of different
targets on it. The property is adjacent to the Trill embayment within which a couple of Ni-Cu-PGE deposits have
been defined by Vale. Wallbridge has mapped a number of Sudbury breccia structures in the footwall to this
embayment which are prospective for footwall style Cu-Ni-PGE’s.
In 2005, Wallbridge discovered high grade Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization within the previously unrecognized Trill
Offset dyke. This occurrence is located over four kilometres away from the main body of the SIC and subsequent
mapping defined the dyke over a two kilometre strike length before losing it beneath deep overburden to the east.
Drilling in 2010 confirmed that Trill Offset extends to depth below the showing; most of the Trill Offset remains
virtually unexplored.
The discovery of the Trill East Cu-Ni-PGE showing in 2013 associated with the Trill offset 3.5 km away from the
previously known showing is encouraging as it highlights the potential of the Trill offset to host sulfide
mineralization along a substantial strike length.
Significant drilling is warranted along the Trill offset to test for sulfide mineralization. Drilling at shallow depth is
required to understand the geometry of the QD system as the Trill offset corridor tends to be quite wide (150 to
250 m in some areas) and complicated by primary irregularities (bends, splays etc.) and later displacements. This
shallow drilling should be followed by deeper cuts through the dyke to test for mineralization below EM coverage.
Review of 3D Mag data resulted in the identification of a Mag-high anomaly in the Northern part of the property.
This unexplained discrete, strongly magnetic feature appears to plunge toward the Trill embayment and shows up
also as a strong IP chargeability anomaly. As this target is identified by two independent geophysical systems drill
testing is certainly warranted.

TRILL WEST Wallbridge discovered two kilometres of the Hess Offset Dyke on the Trill West Property after a 35 metre long and
up to 18 metre wide segment of the Hess Offset dyke was exposed. It contains a 1-2 metre wide mineralized, exotic
mafic inclusion-bearing phase of the quartz diorite dyke. The mineralization occurs at the hinge of a sharp bend in
the dyke. The Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization was concentrated in stringers which was not detected by the geophysics,
but indicates that there is offset mineralization in the dyke in this area.
Drill holes through the Hess offset dyke to the east and south of the Trill West property indicate that the dyke is a
complex network of numerous dykes. South of the property a drill hole intersected a 50 metre wide corridor of QD
consisting of narrow spherulitic QD (SQD) centered on a 40m wide inclusion bearing dyke. North of the property
drilling identified a 95 metre wide corridor consisting of a 12 metre and 4 metre wide QD dykes and two 20 cm
SQD dykes. This indicates additional parallel dykes likely also occur on the Trill West property but have not been
delineated. These parallel dykes may bend, pinch, swell, merge and splay, creating structural traps for sulfide
mineralization.
Offset dyke mineralization often occurs where the dyke cuts large mafic bodies. Surface mapping on Trill West has
delineated a large Nipissing Gabbro sill within 100 metres of the Hess Offset trend. The plunge direction of the sill
is not known at this point. It is important that this be determined because if it plunges towards the Hess Offset,
where the two intersect would be an important exploration target.
To fully test the potential of the property additional mapping and drilling is required.
WINDY LAKE The Windy Lake property is located on the North Range of the SIC. The property contains approximately 13km2 of
the SIC contact, an important ore hosting environment in Sudbury. An estimated 70% of the 13km2 has not been
explored for contact deposits. Included in that is a trend of EM anomalies on the western portion of the property
near Tower Bay. Nearly all the property is unexplored for footwall deposits below the SIC.
Mapping on Wallbridge’s Cascaden North property has outlined a new Sudbury Offset Dyke (Cascaden Offset Dyke)
seven kilometres to the northwest. The projected trend of the dyke indicates it will likely intercept the SIC contact
in the Tower Bay area. Where the dyke intersects the SIC could possess significant economic potential as radial
Offset dykes can be
2011 -2012 Wallbridge drilling and circa 1950’s INCO drill holes collared in the SIC, east of WWL-024, support the
possibility of an Embayment structure in Tower Bay. Wallbridge drilling in Tower Bay indicates that the SIC
contact is dipping at approximately -20o. INCO drilling located to the south, on the southwest shore of Tower Bay,
indicates the contact is dipping at -45°. Somewhere in between the contacts dip changes. Three possible scenarios
causing the change include a gradual sloping of the contact, a sharp change due to faulting or a sharp change in dip
with a flexure at the base. In addition, WWL-028 intersected approximately 24 meters of mineralized Sublayer
before intersecting a fault which is further evidence for a possible embayment structure in Tower Bay.
Drilling east of the Peninsula has outlined sub-economic grades and volumes of contact mineralization hosted in an
embayment structure which has been closed off in all directions but down dip to the southwest between WWL-011
and WWL-021. A RIM survey conducted between those holes suggests that there may be a zone of decreased
resistivity in that gap.
WORTHINGTON Four hundred metres strike length of the Worthington Offset Dyke occurs on the Worthington property. The quartz
diorite dyke appears to have many of the characteristics typical of mineralized offset dyke environments, such as:
69
bottle-necking, clast abundance, presence of Sudbury breccia in the adjacent country rocks, and significant width.
All of these characteristics serve as favourable indicators for sulphide accumulation.
Twelve trenches and six drill holes have tested the known strike length to the 400 m level and BHUTEM
geophysical surveying has tested to approximately the 500 m level. Thus far, no significant grade Cu, Ni or PGE
mineralization has been intersected within the offset dyke. In general, the channel sampling indicated that assay
values decrease westward along the dyke and that the inclusion-bearing quartz diorite rock type is more
anomalous in Cu, Ni and PGE elements than the massive quartz diorite phase and wall rocks.
There is potential that another segment of the Worthington offset dyke may be found on the Worthington Property.
One area that should be reviewed is the gabbro outcrops on the north side of the Murray Fault system. Due to the
complexity of the fault system and the similarity in the appearance between the quartz diorite and the Sudbury
gabbro previous mapping may have missed the continuation of the dyke.
The concept that Nipissing gabbro represents a viable exploration target is not a new idea in the Sudbury Basin.
The non-SIC related mineralization in the Nipissing gabbro remains prospective and warrants consideration on the
property. The Nipissing gabbro on the property has not been explored in a systematic and detailed manner.

26. RECOMMENDATIONS
Currently, the 2014 SCJV scope of work and budget approved at the Joint Venture Exploration Committee meeting
held October 17th, 2013, is underway. The approved 2014 budget totals USD $1,600,000 funded by Lonmin, a large
portion of which ($1,228,606) is budgeted for Trill property (Table 24).
The approved scope of work and budget includes further trenching, detailed mapping, structural analysis, line
cutting, surface EM, drilling and BHEM in Trill property and further drilling in Skynner property as well as minor
maintenance and survey for Cascaden, Creighton South, Foy, Windy Lake and Trill West properties.
