1.0 Introduction

This report summarizes the exploration activities completed on Licence 020356M during 2012-

2013. The licences were staked in July of 2012 by Kenneth J. Lewis of Baie Verte,

Newfoundland and Labrador.

2.0 Property Description and Location

The property consists of a total of 9 claims in one Licence covering 225 hectares and lies entirely

within the town limits of Baie Verte, Newfoundland & Labrador (Figure 1). The licence details

are described in Table 1.

3.0 Accessibility and Infrastructure

The Baie Verte Peninsula lies on the northeast coast of Newfoundland and is linked to the Trans-

Canada Highway via Route 410. Baie Verte, the region’s largest town, lies approximately 65 km

north of the Trans-Canada Highway. The area has a long mining and forestry history with Baie

Verte the major service center. The town provides major infrastructure with a regional hospital,

restaurants, hotels, banking services and heavy equipment providers.

The licence lies at the junction of the Baie Verte Highway (Route 410) and Wild Cove Road

(Route 12), with the southern boundary of the licence intersecting Baie Verte Brook.

The area is covered by a mixture of dense scrub (black spruce and balsam fir), old cutovers and

bog. The terrain is very rugged with an average elevation of about 200 m. Overburden varies

from less than 0.5m up to greater than 5m in some of the linear valleys. Outcrop exposure is

typically less than 5 percent inland, but is greatly improved along coastal areas.

4.0 History of Mineral Exploration

4.1 Overview

The Baie Verte Peninsula has an extensive mining and mineral exploration history dating back to

the mid-1800s when copper mineralization was discovered near Baie Verte (Terra Nova Mine),

Tilt Cove and Betts Cove. These mines operated intermittently until about the First World War.

The Terra Nova Mine which lies adjacent to the property operated intermittently between 1862

until 1907 and produced less than 200,000 tons of copper ore at an average grade of 2.4%

copper. In the late 1950s there was renewed interest in copper and mining was resumed at Tilt

Cove from 1957 to 1967. The Advocate Asbestos Mine located, several kms north of Baie

Verte, operated between 1964 and 1990 and produced an average of 700 tons of ore per day.

The Rambler deposits south of Ming’s Bight were developed and produced from 1961 until 1982

and again from 1995 to 1996. Rambler Metals and Mining Canada Ltd. is currently mining the

4

deeper levels of the Ming deposit and is considering developing the low grade footwall deposit

beneath the Ming ore body.

In the mid-1980s, following the discovery of the Hope Brook gold deposit on the south coast of

Newfoundland, exploration companies began to focus on the islands gold potential. The

geological setting of the Baie Verte Peninsula drew comparison to the Californian Mother Lode

Belt. Exploration focused along the Baie Verte Line, including the Baie Verte and Ming’s Bight

areas. This intensive period of exploration produced approximately 120 new gold discoveries

including: the Deer Cove deposit, discovered by Noranda in 1986; the Dorset showing,

discovered by Noranda in 1987; the Romeo and Juliet prospect and the Lightning Zone,

discovered by South Coast Resources Inc. and Varna Gold Inc. in 1987 and 1988 respectively;

and the Stog’er Tight deposit discovered by Noranda in 1988. Subsequent exploration adjacent to

the Lightning Zone outlined the Thunder Zone; collectively referred to as the Pine Cove deposit.

In the 2008, Anaconda Gold Corporation commissioned the Pine Cove open pit mine with an

indicated resource of 2.63 million tonnes grading 2.93 g/t gold and an inferred resource of

254,150 tonnes grading 2.11 g/t gold. There have been two unsuccessful attempts at mining the

Stog’er Tight deposit (Evans, 2013).

During 1997-1998, British Canadain Mines conducted a Magnetic and Transient Pulse EM

survey over the Terra Nova Property, which extended immediately NE from the abandoned Terra

Nova Mine. The survey identified a magnetic high that paralleled a northeast trending structural

fabric, and the pulse EM outlined a 900m long 8-channel conductor in the western part of the

property. Subsequent interpretation suggested that these conductors were the result of

formational features (Bradley, 2000).

4.2 Academic and Government Surveys (after Evans, 2013)

The geology and mineral deposits of the Baie Verte Peninsula have been the focus of an

extensive list of government and academic studies.

Reports of gold mineralization from the Ming’s Bight area was first documented in the reports of

the Geological Survey of Newfoundland (Murray and Howley, 1881).

Snelgrove (1935) described the Goldenville Mine in his study of Newfoundland gold deposits.

In 1939, K. Watson studied the geology and mineral deposits of the Baie Verte and Ming’s Bight

area (Watson, 1947).

Rose (1945) mapped the Baie Verte greenstones between the Rambler and Ming’s Bight area as

part of a M.Sc. study.

Baird (1945) assessed the mineral potential of the Ming’s Bight –Pacquet Harbour area.

5

In 1957, the Geological Survey of Canada included the area in 1:250,000 scale geological

mapping that eventually covered the Baie Verte Peninsula (Neale, 1958).

In the late 1970s the Department of Mines and Energy carried out a geological, geochemical and

geophysical evaluation of the Barry and Cunningham Fee Simple Mining Grant (Howse and

Collins, 1978) after the property reverted to the Crown.

Frew (1971) examined the petrography and geochemistry of the Goldenville area as part of a

B.Sc. thesis at Memorial University.

Norman (1973) studied the geology and petrochemistry of the ophiolitic rocks exposed near

Ming’s Bight as part of a M.Sc. thesis study.

Kidd (1974) studied the evolution of the Baie Verte Lineament as part of a Ph.D. thesis at

Cambridge University. This work formed the basis for a paper by Kidd et. al., (1978), which

described the geology of the ophiolitic rocks of the Ming’s Bight area.

Fitzpatrick (1981) examined the geology and mineral potential of the upper ophiolitic rocks near

Ming’s Bight as part of a B.Sc. thesis at Memorial University.

In 1983, J. Hibbard produced a memoir on the geology and mineral deposits of the Baie Verte

Peninsula which has served as the bench mark for subsequent geologic work on the peninsula.

Patey (1990) documented the Paleozoic mesothermal lode-gold mineralization, Deer Lode

deposit as part of a B.Sc. thesis at Memorial University.

Ramezani (1992) documented the geology, geochemistry and U-Pb geochronology of the Stog’er

Tight Gold Prospect as part of a M.Sc. thesis at Memorial University.

Several Baie Verte Peninsula gold occurrences were included in a regional study of

Newfoundland gold deposits by the Geological Survey of Canada. Kirkwood and Dubé (1992)

documented the structural control of sill-hosted gold mineralization at the Stog’er Tight Gold

Deposit. Dubé et. al., (1993) described the Deer Cove deposit as an example of “thrust”- related

breccia-vein type gold mineralization.

Evans (1996) documented the gold mineralization of the Baie Verte Peninsula as part of a

regional study of Newfoundland gold deposits carried by the Newfoundland Department of

Mines and Energy.

6

The Geological Survey of Canada, as part of its Targeted Initiatives Program (TGI3), carried out

detailed geological mapping and structural and geochronological studies on the Baie Verte

Peninsula (Skulski et. al. 2010) including detailed studies on the Ming’s Bight Peninsula

(Castonguay et. al., 2009; Escayola et. al., 2009).

5.0 Geological Setting (after Evans, 2012)

5.1 Regional Geological Setting

The island of Newfoundland forms part of the extensive Paleozoic Appalachian-Caledonian

Orogenic Belt. Williams (1964) was the first to recognize the tripartite nature of the

Newfoundland portion of this orogenic belt. The island can be subdivided into three broad

geological zones, which represent a two-sided orogenic system. These zones, which include the

Western platform, the Central Mobile Belt and the Avalon platform, are related to the Iapetan

Wilson Cycle; the formation and destruction of a late Precambrian - early Paleozoic ocean

known as Iapetus (Harland and Gayer, 1972). The orogenic belt is now subdivided into Humber,

Dunnage, Gander and Avalon tectonostratigraphic zonal subdivisions (Williams, 1979; Williams

et al., 1988; Figure 2).

The Humber Zone represents the passive continental margin of Paleozoic North America and it

comprises self-facies carbonate and siliciclastic rocks deposited upon crystalline Precambrian

basement. The Dunnage Zone is often referred to as the vestiges of Iapetus as it contains

sequences of ophiolitic and volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks of island arc and

back-arc origins. The Gander Zone comprises sedimentary rocks deposited at or near the eastern

Iapetan margin, proximal to the Gandwana continent. The Avalon Zone is comprised of

7

Figure 2 Tectonostratigraphic map of Newfoundland (Hayes, 1987).

Neoproterozoic volcanic, sedimentary and plutonic rocks which are overlain by early Paleozoic

platformal sedimentary rocks.

The Dunnage Zone is bounded on the west by the Baie Verte - Brompton Line and to the east by

the Grub Line (Gander River Complex). Williams et. al. (1988) further subdivided the Dunnage

Zone, based on contrasting geological elements, into Notre Dame and Exploits subzones. The

two subzones formed independently, possibly on opposite sides of Iapetus, and were not linked

until the late Llanvirn-early Llandeilo along the extensive Red Indian Line fault system. The

Baie Verte Peninsula occupies portions of both the Humber Zone and the Notre Dame Subzone.

Rocks of these zones form two contrasting and distinct structural and lithic belts which are

8

separated by a major arcuate, structural zone known as the Baie Verte Line (Hibbard, 1983).

Rocks to the west of the Baie Verte Line belong to the Fleur de Lys Belt. This belt is part of the

Humber Zone and comprises a sequence of polydeformed Neoproterozoic to Lower Ordovician

schists and gneisses, formed in a continental-rise prism which developed along the eastern

margin of Laurentia. The belt can be subdivided into three main lithic sequences: i) high grade

metamorphic basement rocks of the East Pond Metamorphic Suite; ii) a metaclastic cover

sequence referred to as the Fleur de Lys Supergroup; and iii) post-kinematic granitic intrusive

rocks of the Devonian Wild Cove Pond Igneous Suite.

The rocks lying to the east of the Baie Verte Line belong to the Baie Verte Belt of the Notre

Dame Subzone. This belt is comprised of four main lithic elements: i) Cambro-Ordovician

ophiolitic sequences of the Advocate, Point Rousse and Betts Cove complexes and the Pacquet

Harbour Group; ii) Ordovician volcanic cover sequences of the Flat Water Pond and Snooks

Arm groups and parts of the Advocate and Point Rousse complexes and the Pacquet Harbour

Group; iii) Silurian terrestrial volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Micmac Lake and Cape St.

John groups and the Kings Point Complex, which unconformably overlie the Ordovician

sequences; and iv) Siluro-Devonian intrusive rocks (e.g. the Burlington Granodiorite, Kings

Point Complex, Dunamagon Granite and the Cape Brule Porphyry). The Cambro-Ordovician

sequences represent vestiges of Iapetus and are interpreted to have formed in supra-subduction

zone ophiolitic and primitive island-arc environments (Jenner and Fryer, 1980, Swinden, 1991,

Piercey et al., 1997, and Bédard et al., 1997).

Regionally the geology of the Baie Verte Peninsula can be correlated southwards to the Glover

Island area of Grand Lake, where rocks of both the Humber and Dunnage zones are juxtaposed

(Cawood and van Gool, 1993). The boundary between the zones is defined by the Keystone

shear zone which is part of the Baie Verte-Brompton Line. On Glover Island the Dunnage Zone

sequences are host to thirteen significant epigenetic, structurally-controlled gold prospects

(Barbour and French, 1993).

5.2 Regional Deformation

Hibbard (1983) defined the Baie Verte Line as a tectonic zone, which separates the Fleur de Lys

and Baie Verte belts, considered to be the early Paleozoic continent-ocean interface. Regionally

all pre-Carboniferous lithologies and structures on the Baie Verte Peninsula, including the Baie

Verte Line, are folded around a major structure referred to as the Baie Verte Flexure (Hibbard,

1983). Structural and lithological trends vary from north-northeast, south of Baie Verte, to east-

west, east of Baie Verte. This flexure is interpreted to be a primordial feature which reflected the

shape of the ancient Laurentian continental margin.

9

The Baie Verte Line exhibits a protracted history of deformation. Initial movement along the line

was the result of westward directed thrusting of the Baie Verte ophiolitic rocks over the Fleur de

Lys Belt in the Ordovician. Three phases of deformation are present within the Fleur de Lys Belt

and Ordovician thrusting was responsible for much of this deformation and metamorphism.

Regionally these rocks have been metamorphosed in the upper green-schist to middle

amphibolite facies. Based on radiometric cooling ages for metamorphic minerals deformation

within most of the Fleur de Lys Belt is interpreted to be related to westward obduction of the

Taconic allochthons (Hibbard, 1983). Evidence within the Fleur de Lys Belt for this obduction

includes the emplacement of ultramafic rocks along shear zones and pre-kinematic ophiolitic

melanges that are thought to mark the early onset of imbrication of the ophiolitic complexes. The

ophiolitic Birchy Complex of the Fleur de Lys Supergroup is interpreted to have formed the

lower portions of an imbricate stack which overrode the Fleur de Lys rocks during the Early

Ordovician (Hibbard et. al., 1995). Subsequent Siluro-Devonian deformation centred on the

Baie Verte Line and served to accentuate the structural zone. South of Baie Verte a system of

late faults, which collectively form the Baie Verte Road Fault system (Hibbard, 1983), follow the

trace of the Baie Verte Line. These younger faults typically exhibit reverse, west-over-east

polarities. This reversal in structural polarity produced much of the deformation observed within

the Baie Verte Belt. Regionally the belt has been metamorphosed up to the lower greenschist

facies and the rocks typically display a single penetrative fabric.

Strike-slip movements related to Carboniferous deformation may have further modified the

various faults, in particular the Baie Verte Road Fault System (Hibbard, 1983; Goodwin and

Williams, 1990).

5.3 Property Geology

The property itself is underlain by rocks of both the Humber (extreme western part of the

property) and Dunnage (central and eastern part of the property) tectonostratigraphic zones. The

very western part of the property is underlain by late Cambrian to early Ordivician-aged

siliciclastic schist units of the Fleur de Lys Supergroup, while the remainder of the property is

underlain by Cambrian to Ordivician-aged rocks of the Advocate Complex which is interpreted

as consisting of strongly deformed mafic and ultramafic plutonic rocks, volcanic to

volcanoclastic rocks, and dark grey-black slates.

6.0 Deposit Types

The historic Terra Nova mine is the closest known deposit to the property (located immediately

southeast of the property) and this deposit is hosted by a chlorite schist containing disseminated

and stringer pyrite and pyrrhotite. Murray (1881) described the deposit as…”a stratified mass of

iron and copper pyrites, with intercalations of hard clay slates…”. The ore is generally massive

10

and both coliform and banded consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and minor

aresenopyrite.

7.0 Exploration Program

7.1 Diamond Drilling

In May of 2012, Ken Lewis carried out a small diamond-drill program consisting of two NQ-size

diamond drill holes (Figure 3) totalling 207.5m. Drilling was completed by Zenith Drilling Ltd.

of Baie Verte, NL.

Table 1 Diamond-drill hole data.

8.0 Results and Recommendations

A total of 11 samples were sent for assay at Eastern Analytical Limited in Springdale, NL.

While the drilling failed to intersect significant mineralization, all 11 samples showed weakly

anomalous copper and zinc. Gold values were also low with 5 samples assaying above 5ppb,

with the highest value at 86ppb.

Further work may need to include a ground magnetic survey and/or an Induced Polarization (IP)

survey. A downhole pulse EM survey would also have been beneficial at the time of drilling as

it may have detected potential off-hole conductors, and thus, should be incorporated into any

future drilling program.
