Attention: Mr. Edward Solonyka Supervisor

Dear Sir:

OPAP File Number OP93-A83

Enclosed are two copies of my report on the exploration program which I undertook with your assistance. The project was carried out with only slight change to the original proposal, and I trust you will find it satisfactory.

The results of the testing program were generally less favourable than had been hoped, but much new information was gained. Some obvious directions for further testing have been indicated.

I am presently negotiating with a mining company in respect to an option agreement for the further testing necessary.

I am most appreciative of your assistance in this program.

Yours very truly,

G. R. Guillet

NAME

The Bonter White Marble Quarries

LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WHO APPLIED FOR ASSISTANCE FOR THIS PROJECT

G. Robert Guillet was -the only person who applied for, and received, assistance for this project. He was solely responsible for the work undertaken, and supervised work that was subcontracted for diamond drilling, backhoe testpitting, and laboratory analyses.

INTRODUCTION

This report describes the results of a mineral exploration program conducted on lands owned by the writer, with financial assistance provided by the Ontario Prospectors Assistance Program. The target of interest was a zone of high purity white calcitic marble located near Marmora in Southeastern Ontario. The work involved the drilling of four diamond drillholes, the logging, splitting and sampling of the cores, laboratory testing of the samples for the percentage of acid insoluble contents and the determination of brightness (whiteness), a comparative study to determine the suitability of marble chips for the decorative stone market, the digging of 15 backhoe test pits, and other related geological and prospecting activities.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The Bonter marble property contains several abandoned quarries in a zone of white calcitic marble. Quarrying was active during the years 1939-1965, and the crushed marble products were sold for animal feeds, poultry grit, paper bleaching, and other industrial uses.

The Bonter property comprises 189 acres, being part of lots 16 and 17 in concessions X and XI on the east boundary of Marmora Township in the County of Hastings, Southern Ontario Mining Division (Figure l ). I t is located 7 miles northeast of Marmora, from which it is accessible by Highway 7 and County Road 11 via the hamlets of Deloro and Malone. A private road trending east from Malone crosses the Moira River and gives access to the work site. The main portion of the marble unit is located in lot 16, concessions X and XI, and this part of the property is licenced under the provincial Aggregate Resources Act.

Page 5: THE BONTER WHITE MARBLE QUARRIES - Welcome to Geology Ontario

CHANGES TO PROPOSED PROJECT

The proposed project contemplated the drilling of a single 300-foot hole inclined at a shallow angle (30 degrees) beneath the water-filled quarry. However, the failure of the drilling equipment to drill flatter than 45 degrees, necessitated the drilling of four shorter holes (70 feet) across the south end of the old quarry (Figure 2), in order not to reach excessive and uneconomic depths.

The south end of the old main quarry was the obvious location for a resumption of quarrying, and it had been proposed that overburden stripping by bulldozer would prepare the site for quarrying. Earlier drilling had indicated a remarkable uniformity and whiteness in the marble of this area. However, the new drilling indicated some zones of coloured alteration, mostly associated with fracturing, that would make quarrying of a uniformly white chip product difficult. So the stripping program was not initiated, pending further consideration of how best to proceed. Instead, a program of backhoe testpitting was carried out in the intended quarrying area, and fifteen pits were dug to bedrock to give information on the character and thickness of the overburden and the marble quality beneath it (Figure 2).

GEOLOGY

The marble deposit is enclosed by granite, and occupies a shallow depression that naturally isolates it from the community of Malone. Within an overall length of 2,600 feet and a width of 350 feet, a high-grade zone 650 feet long and 250 feet wide contains about 2 million tons to a depth of 150 feet. And this is the zone of principal interest, centred on the old quarry.

Both the marble and the granite are cut by occasional narrow dikes of dark green diabase, which on surface are usually rusty because of a significant pyrite content. However, previous work has indicated that these dikes do not contain any mineralization of economic interest.

Nevertheless, sporadic gold mineralization occurs throughout the area, and the old Sovereign or Crescent mine in lot 17, concession XI, is said to have recovered at least 10,000 ounces of gold from the marble-granite contact. In more recent years, Noranda Explorations has been particularly interested in the gold content of the granite itself.

The marble is fine to medium-crystalline, white in colour, and massive in texture. There is almost no trace of original bedding, and only in a few places is there a weak foliation that suggests a near-vertical dip. Fine black flakes of graphite contribute a grey cast to the marble in the few places where they are concentrated. And occasional specks of fine pyrite are widely disseminated. But in most places the marble is of high purity, containing on analysis only minor contents of silica and magnesia.

The close association of high-purity marble and granite seems to be a not uncommon feature of the Grenville rocks of Eastern Ontario. Impurities seem to have been removed during the recrystallization of the marble.

Page 6: THE BONTER WHITE MARBLE QUARRIES - Welcome to Geology Ontario

WORK DONE

The principal objective of the project was to confirm the apparent high- purity of the marble unit in the immediate vicinity of the old quarry. If this were confirmed by further diamond drilling, it was intended to proceed to small-scale production of marble chips for the decorative crushed stone market in the spring of 1994. The site is licenced for quarrying under the Aggregate Resources Act of Ontario (Class B licence).

It was intended to drill a single 300-foot hole at a shallow angle (30 degrees) from east to west beneath the water-filled south end of the main quarry. However, the drilling equipment supplied by the George Downing Estate Drilling Company was not able to drill flatter than 45 degrees, and to avoid excessive depth penetration it was decided to drill four shorter holes in the area immediately south of the quarry. Since this was the area proposed for initial resumption of quarrying, it seemed like a good alternative.

Four holes of 70 feet each were drilled in the locations shown on Figure 2. The cores were split lengthwise, logged, and the split halves bagged in units for laboratory testing by IMD Laboratories Ltd. of Barrie. Core logs are included herewith, along with the results of analytical testing for percentage acid insoluble contents, dry brightness (whiteness), and chip suitability based on colour. Percentages of acid insoluble and brightness are also recorded on cross-sections through the planes of the drillholes shown on Figure 3. Chip suitability was estimated by the writer, based on a comparison with commercial chips from the Steep Rock Resources plant at Perth. Drillcores are stored at the writer's home in Woodview.

In the same way, chip samples taken from the various quarry openings on the property were compared to commercially acceptable chips from the Steep Rock Resources plant at Perth. Figure 4 shows the locations of the five old quarries that were examined in detail during the prospecting phase of the project. A total of 88 chip samples were taken, and their suitability was rated as either acceptable or unacceptable based on visual comparison as follows:

Fifteen backhoe pits were dug in the area proposed for stripping at the south end of the main quarry. Sam Danford Construction Ltd. of Madoc supplied the Case 580K backhoe, and its operator Jamie Danford. A description of these pits are attached to this report.

Page 7: THE BONTER WHITE MARBLE QUARRIES - Welcome to Geology Ontario

A geological map and report for the property was prepared under a MEAP grant in 1984. Further geological examination was carried out during the present project as part of an on-going refinement of the earlier work, but no new map was prepared. Much new information had been gained from the drilling of four diamond drillholes when the property was under option in 1992, and a detailed review of this work will also be incorporated in an ultimate refinement of the earlier map.

RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In general, the results of the drilling indicate less uniformity than had been expected. While the quality of the marble was consistently high, a significant amount of pink, purple, green and brown alteration associated with fractures, and in some cases porous and vuggy zones, reduced the overall quality. However, this was not so obvious in the chip samples taken during the prospecting phase of the study. If present in any significant amount, such discolourations would be unnacceptable for the white chip market. Moreover, these alteration zones are also marked by somewhat higher contents of acid insoluble material, which detracts from the otherwise high chemical purity of the stone. As indicated on the drillcore logs, not all of the marble sections are considered suitable for the white chip market.

The backhoe test digging program indicated much greater variability in overburden thickness and greater overall volume than was anticipated in the flat area south of the main quarry where initial resumption of quarrying was proposed. Obviously this area had been deliberately filled and flattened with crushed stone and mill wastes so that it could be used for product stockpiles and shipping facilities. Some of the mill wastes exposed in the backhoe pits suggest that the mill was used at times as a custom grinder for coloured rocks brought to the site from outside sources.

The new drilling information has indicated that simple large scale quarrying will not be possible for the production of high-quality marble chips. Selective quarrying will be necessary, and it remains to be determined how practical that will be. Further information will have to be obtained on the frequency and extent of the alteration zones, and this will require more short-hole drilling at perhaps 50-foot spacing, as well as the long low-angle hole beneath the water-filled quarry.

Some of this work is expected to be undertaken by a new company presently negotiating with the writer for an option.

This report is respectfully submitted.

DESCRIPTIONS OF BACKHOE TESTPITS

These pits were dug on August 31, 1993, in the area proposed for initial quarrying. They provided information on the thickness and character of the overburden, as well as an indication of the quality of the marble beneath it. The pits were dug under contract using a Case 580K rubber-mounted backhoe. In some cases a layer of crushed stone was found to overlie the natural soil profile, confirming my belief that the area had been purposely levelled for outdoor stockpiling by the earlier operators. Some of the pits revealed granular deposits of crushed coloured marble - pink, yellow and white- indicating that terazzo chips may have been produced for a time. Deeper pits were immediately back-filled for safety, while the shallower ones were left open for subsequent examination. Pit locations are shown on Figure 2.

Test pit l

This pit was 6 feet long and 2.5 feet deep to bedrock. The top foot was crushed marble. The bedrock marble was white and of good quality.

Test pit 2

This pit was 9 feet long and ranged in depth from 2 feet at the west end to 2.5 feet at the east end. The overburden consisted of broken rock in sandy loam soil. The bedrock marble was white and of good quality.

Test pit 3

This pit was 4 feet long and 9 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden consisted entirely of almost stone-free loam. The pit was too deep to safely examine the bedrock.

Tet pit 4

This pit was 7 feet long and 2 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden consisted of stony loam. The marble was mostly white.

Test pit 5

This pit was 4 feet long and 6 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden was a brown loamy material with few stones. The bedrock was broken and slightly greyish in colour.

it 6

This pit was 8 feet long and 10 feet deep, but did not reach bedrock. The overburden consisted of a red-brown laminated clay at the base, becoming loamy towards the top. Caving caused by inflow of water prevented deeper excavation.

Test pit 7

This pit was 6 feet long and 8 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden consisted of red-brown loam and laminated clay. A strong inflow of water at the base prevented any examination of the bedrock.

Page 12: THE BONTER WHITE MARBLE QUARRIES - Welcome to Geology Ontario

Test pit 8

This pit was 8 feet long and 8 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden consisted of red-brown laminated clay below loam. An inflow of water prevented an examination of the bedrock.

Test pit 9

This pit was 8 feet long and 10 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden was an almost stone-free brown loam. Although there was no water at the base, the pit was too deep to permit examination of the bedrock.

Test pit 10

This pit was 5 feet long and k feet deep to bedrock. The overburden consisted of stony loam. The bedrock marble appears to be of good white quality.

Test pit 11

This pit is 6 feet long and A feet deep to bedrock. The overburden consisted of 1.5 feet of crushed stone over 2.5 feet of loam. The bedrock is white.

Test pit 12

This pit is 4 feet long and 2 feet deep to bedrock. Overburden is mostly medium to coarse crushed marble. The bedrock marble is somewhat broken and variable in quality.

Test pit 13

This pit is 4 feet long and 3 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden is a moderately stony loam. The bedrock appears to be altered and of poor quality. This pit is close to the footings of the old Bonter mill.

Test pit U

This pit is 8 feet long and 8 feet deep to bedrock. An interesting overburden profile consists of the following from top to bottom:

l foot of topsoil.3 feet of yellow granular marble, plant waste.3 feet of white granular marble waste.l foot of broken rock over bedrock.

Test pit 15

This pit is 10 feet long and 2 feet deep to bedrock. The overburden consists of l foot of pink granular marble sand over l foot of loam. The marble bedrock was somewhat broken and discoloured.
