Gradient Array IP/Resistivity Survey Grouse Grid, Fawcett Township, Shining Tree Area, Ontario

Goldeye Explorations Ltd.

A gradient array IP/resistivity survey was done on the Grouse grid, Fawcett Township, Shining Tree area, Ontario. The grid is centered 8 km east of Shining Tree and 30 km west southwest of Gowganda. The work was done for Goldeye Explorations Ltd. by JVX Ltd. under JVX job number 10‐93. The field work was done from November 21 to December 5, 2010. Total production was 18,125 m.

Figure 1. Regional location map

The Grouse grid is within claims 1246451 and 1246454 registered to Goldeye Explorations Ltd. The grid is made up of 16 north northeast lines at 100 m (10300E to 11800E). The maximum station range is 8775N to 10700N. The grid is shown in figure 2. The survey was done with fixed current electrodes separated by 2975m grid north and grid south of the survey area. Chargeability and apparent resistivity were measured every 25 m with 25 m long potential dipoles. The results are presented on plan maps of Mx chargeability and apparent resistivity at 1:5,000. The purpose of using the deep‐penetrating gradient array was to determine if deep (300m‐500m) sulphide bodies could be detected on the property. The geology on the grid is correlate able to the geology associated with Ursa Major’s Shining Tree Cu/Ni deposit located 1.5 km to the NW . Production summaries, GPS control points, instrumentation, data processing and archives are described in appendix 1. Weekly field production reports are in appendix 2. Map images are in appendix 3. Instrument specification sheets are attached. Paper copies of 2 plan maps are folded and bound with this report. 1. Presentation The results of the surveys are presented in 2 plan maps at 1:5,000.

2. Background The following comments have been taken from the 2004 Qualifying Report on the Fawcett Property, Fawcett Township, Larder Lake M. D., Ontario by G. A Harron for Goldeye Explorations Ltd.

Three types of mineral deposits are relevant to this property, based on historical exploration results. Lode gold occurrences are known in the extreme northwestern part of the property, magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) mineralization occurs on the adjacent Ft. Knox property and Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization occurs in the southeastern part of the Goldeye property and on the Ft. Knox claims. At the district scale, exploration for quartz-carbonate lode gold deposits focuses on broad shear zones located along terrane boundaries or adjacent to felsic intrusions. At a more local scale mapping of alteration mineral assemblages can delineate favourable portions of shear zones. The low sulphides content of the quartz veins and the associated wall rock alteration is detectable by IP/resistivity methods. Carbonatization causes destruction of magnetic minerals in mafic rocks, creating a negative magnetic feature coincident with alteration surrounding the lode deposit. The Ni-Cu-(PGE) mineralization on the Ft. Knox property occurs within a complex tecto-magmatic breccia zone developed within a gabbroic-anorthositic intrusion. The mineralized zone is a pipe-shaped body having dimensions of approximately 30 m wide, about 100 m in strike length and a known depth of about 500 m. The core of the zone commonly consists of disseminated pyrite with low Ni and Cu values. The margins of the zone contain the highest

grade mineralization, which typically occurs as net-textured or nearly massive sulphides 2 to 5 m thick. The deposit model indicates that IP/resistivity in conjunction with magnetics are suitable geophysical methods for the discovery of additional mineralization. The base metal occurrences in the southeastern part of the property and on the adjacent Ft. Knox property may not be base metal volcanogenic massive sulphide type mineralization. There is a greater potential to discover “Five Element (Ni-Co-As-Ag-Bi) Vein” mineralization similar to the silver deposits in the Cobalt, Ontario area.

Earlier ground geophysical surveys by JVX for Goldeye Explorations on the Grouse grid include JVX 98‐53 : Profile IP/resistivity (5 km) on 4 lines (10900E, 11500E, 11900E, 12300E) JVX 5‐33 : Profile IP/resistivity (4.3 km), HLEM (1.575 km) and magnetics/VLF (2.95 km) JVX 6‐05 : Bore hole IP/resistivity (GL‐06‐01) JVX 8‐79 : Fixed loop TDEM (16.8 km), TerraTEM (8.3 km) and magnetics/VLF (21.05 km)

2006 Goldeye drill hole GL‐06‐01 was set to test an IP zone from 5‐33. GL‐06‐01 is at 499635 e, 5267231 n (NAD83, Z17N), azimuth 225°, dip ‐50°, length 191 m. The n=2 Mx chargeability from 5‐33 is shown in figure 4. VLF offset profiles from 8‐79 are shown in figure 5.

Reading from the JVX 6‐05 report on dhip surveys on GL‐06‐01 ‐

Target T1 on Grouse grid was drilled from northeast. The collar was about 50 m northeast of the probable trace of the target center (30 m southeast of line 10800E). If the target is vertical and if it continues southeast of line 10800E, it should be intersected at a down hole depth of 78 m. If the target dips 45º to the northeast (i.e. towards the drill hole), it should be intersected at a down hole length of 39.6 m. The target will not be intersected for dips to the southwest at a dip less than 63.6º. Below the 8.5 m of overburden, most of this hole passes through mafic and felsic volcanics (80 %). There are two intersections of intrusives (total 13 %) and one of metasediments (7 %). Geophysical features of note include 77.4 to 78.75 : 1 – 2 % pyrite in volcanics 141.5 to 151.35 : 1 – 2 % pyrite in volcanics 162.8 to 170.6 : 1 to 4 % pyrite in volcanics 170.6 to 182.6 : graphitic metasediments If the target is the combination of 1 to 4 % pyrite + graphitic sediments over 20 m centered around 172 m down hole, the target dips at 65° to the southwest. In this case, the target was drilled down dip.

3. Survey Dennis Palos, senior geophysicist from JVX, was in charge of the survey. Field assistants included geophysicist Thomas Au and helper Brian Willard. Data processing at the JVX office was handled by Lily Manoukian. The survey grid was registered with a series of GPS control points. UTM coordinates from a hand held GPS receiver were collected at 87 GPS control points (appendix 1). The average distance between GPS control points is 263 m. The survey grid on which the geophysical results are registered is drawn by interpolation from these GPS control points. A gradient array was used with fixed current electrodes grid north and grid south of the survey area. Two sets of current electrodes were used – one for lines 10300E to 11000E and another for lines 11100E to 11800E. Chargeability and apparent resistivity were measured with a 25 m potential dipole, sampled every 25 m. An Elrec Pro time domain IP/resistivity receiver and a Walcer 10kVA time domain transmitter were used. A 2 second current pulse was used. The Elrec Pro records the primary voltage and the chargeability decay at 19 slices. The apparent resistivity is calculated from the primary voltage and the transmitted current. The Mx chargeability, centered at 870 msec, is calculated as the weighted average of 3 slices (M13, M14 and M15). A 6 Rx dipole string was used. Measurements were made at 845 Rx dipoles, 141 of which were repeats. Chargeability and apparent resistivity values at repeats were averaged. The average, minimum and maximum values of chargeability and apparent resistivity of the 712 unique Rx dipoles are listed in table 1.

Quantity average minimum maximum Mx 3.6 -1.4 12.5 Resistivity 21,800 826 94,470

Table 1. IP/resistivity statistics

Primary voltages were very low or negative at 11 Rx dipoles at the north ends of lines 10300E and 10400E and the south end of 11100E. Chargeability and resistivity readings at these points are considered invalid and are not shown on final maps. 4. Discussion The strong IP zone, first seen in 5‐33 and drill tested by GL‐06‐01, is clear in the gradient array results. This 300 m long IP zone runs from 10600E to 10900E near 10350N. Peak Mx chargeabilities are 20 mV/V (pole‐dipole 5‐33) and 10 mV/V (gradient 10‐93). There is no evidence in the resistivity results that this IP zone is also a conductor. 5‐33 Mx chargeability and apparent resistivity pseudosections for line 10800E are shown in figure 6. The gradient array chargeability map shows a second, parallel IP zone 100 to 200 m to the south. At 10400E, 10200N, peak Mx values are 6 mV/V (pole‐dipole 5‐33) and 8 mV/V (gradient 10‐93). There is no evidence in the resistivity results that this IP zone is also a conductor. Surficial resistivities from 5‐33 here are around 5,000 ohm.m. This weak IP zone is probably buried under thin overburden. 5‐33 Mx chargeability and apparent resistivity pseudosections for line 10400E are shown in figure 7.

5. Conclusions

A gradient array spectral IP/resistivity survey was done on the Grouse grid, Shining Tree area, Ontario. The field work was done from November 24 to December 4, 2010. Total production was 18,125 m. The Grouse grid is within claims 1246451 and 1246454 registered to Goldeye Explorations Ltd. The results have been presented in maps of chargeability and apparent resistivity at 1:5,000.

The gradient array survey data should be inverted to determine if there are deep chargeable conductive sources not apparent in the field data. The survey should be conducted over Grouse Lake to determine if there are any anomalies under it. Grouse Lake appears to cover the strike extension of the main chargeability anomaly.

Table 3. Elrec Pro chargeability windows

For each receiver dipole, the Elrec Pro records line/stations of the current and potential

electrodes, the primary voltage (mV), self potential (mV), 19 chargeability values (mV/V) and the

transmitted current (mA). The apparent resistivity is calculated from the primary voltage and

transmitted current using K factors based on array geometry.

Mx chargeability, the IP slice most often presented in surveys done with the Scintrex IPR12

receiver, is centered at 870 msec (690 to 1050 msec). M14 at 840 msec (780 to 900 msec) from the

Elrec Pro is the closest IP slice to Mx. Mx may be calculated as the weighted average of M13, M14 and

M15 as (M13*90+M14*120+M15*150)/360.

The Walcer Geophysics Ltd. Walcer TX KW10 transmitter outputs up to 10 kVA (voltage to

3200V, current to 20 Amps). Line voltage and current are shown on an LED display. The transmitter was

powered by a 24 hp Honda motor generator.

Data Processing and Presentation

Grid

GPS control points are loaded into a Geosoft database (gps.gdb) as UTM coordinate –

line/station pairs. The IP/resistivity results are registered with UTM coordinates interpolated or

extrapolated from gps.gdb.

Base Map

Claim fabric has been downloaded as *.shp files from the MNDMF claimap3 website (Copyright

Queen’s Printer for Ontario). A topographic base map and claim fabric are available as a *.png image

from the same source. Lakes, rivers and roads have been downloaded as 1:50,000 *.shp files from

NRCAN geogratis.ca (Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada). There are minor differences

in these topographic elements from federal and provincial sources.

IP/Resistivity

At the end of every survey day, the IP/resistivity data are dumped from the Elrec Pro to a PC.

Output is an ASCII text file with the job and line numbers as the file name. These data are transferred to

Page 17: Report on a Gradient Array IP/Resistivity Survey

Appendix 1: Production, GPS control points, Instrumentation and Data Processing

Goldeye Explorations Ltd. JVX 10-93 (Grouse grid) 5

a MS Excel workbook.The data are reformatted into a new worksheet called ‘GeosoftReadyFormat’. Mx

chargeability and apparent resistivity are added to this worksheet. Duplicate values are averaged.

Mx has been calculated as Mx = (M13*90 + M14*120 + M15*150)/(90+120+150).

Office data processing is based largely on Geosoft Oasis Montaj v6.3 (www.geosoft.com). The

GeosftReadyFormat worksheets are loaded into a Geosoft database and merged with the position data

in gps.gdb.

Plan maps of Mx chargeability and apparent resistivity are prepared with Oasis Montaj.

Random gridding is used in all cases. Plan maps show the interpolated grid, station numbers, posted

values and line + colour contours. Colour contour intervals are decided by an equal area distribution of

all of the chargeability or apparent resistivity readings on any grid.

Apparent Resistivity

From Telford et al, 1990, the potential at any point in a uniform half space due to a current pole

at any point in that half space is given by

V = Iρ (1/4π) [1/r + 1/r’]

Where

V is the potential in volts (or millivolts)

I is the transmitted current in amps (or milliamps)

ρ is the apparent resistivity in ohm.m

r is the distance from the point to the current pole

r’ is the distance from the point to an image current pole

The imaginary ‘image’ current pole is in free space directly above the current pole and at a height equal

to the depth to the current pole.

With two current and two potential electrodes in a half space, the potential difference between

the two potential electrodes is given by

ΔV = Iρ (1/4π) [ (1/r1c1 + 1/r1c1’) – (1/r1c2 + 1/r1c2’)

- (1/r2c1 + 1/r2c1’) + (1/r2c2 + 1/r2c2’) ]

Where ricj is the distance from the ’i’ potential electrode to the ‘j’ current electrode and ricj’ is the

distance from the ‘i’ potential electrode to the image of the ‘j’ current electrode. The apparent

resistivity is then

ρa = K4πΔV/I

where the geometry factor

K = [ (1/r1c1 + 1/r1c1’) – (1/r1c2 + 1/r1c2’) - (1/r2c1 + 1/r2c1’) + (1/r2c2 + 1/r2c2’) ]-1

For the gradient array where all current and potential electrodes are on surface and that surface is

assumed to be flat, the geometry factor

K = 0.5 [ (1/r1c1 – 1/r1c2) – (1/r2c1 – 1/r2c2) ]-1

We read the north part of L10900E and one overlap dipole over the south part. At the northern extremities of L10300E and L10400E, the Vp values were low and the Mx values were “random” because of unfavourable geometry of the current electrode.

IRIS INSTRUMENTS

ELREC Pro

10 CHANNELS

IP RECEIVER FOR

MINERAL EXPLORATION

• 10 simultaneous dipoles

• 20 programmable chargeability windows

• High accuracy and sensitivity

ELREC Pro: this new receiver is a new compact and low consumption unit designed for high productivity Resistivity and Induced Polarization measurements. It features some high capabilities allowing to work in any field conditions.

Reception dipoles: the ten dipoles of the ELREC Pro offer an high productivity in the field for dipole-dipole, gradient or extended poly-pole arrays.

Programmable windows: beside classical arithmetic and logarithmic modes, ELREC Pro also offers a Cole-Cole mode and a twenty fully programmable windows for a higher flexibility in the definition of the IP decay curve.

IP display: chargeability values and IP decay curves can be displayed in real time thanks to the large graphic LCD screen. Before data acquisition, the ELREC Pro can be used as a one channel graphic display, for monitoring the noise level and checking the primary voltage waveform, through a continuous display process.

Internal memory: the memory can store up to 21 000 readings, each reading including the full set of parameters characterizing the measurements. The data are stored in flash memories not requiring any lithium battery for safeguard.

Switching capability: thanks to extension Switch Pro box(es) connected to the ELREC Pro unit, the 10 reception electrodes can be automatically switched to increase the productivity in-the-field.

ELREC Pro

FIELD LAY-OUT OF AN ELREC PRO UNIT

The ELREC Pro unit has to be used with an external transmitter, such as a VIP transmitter. The automatic synchronization (and re-synchronization at each new pulse) with the transmission signal, through a waveform recognition process, gives an high reliability of the measurement. Before starting the measurement, a grounding resistance measuring process is automatically run ; this allows to check that all the electrodes are properly connected to the receiver. Extension Switch Pro box(es), with specific cables, can be connected to the ELREC Pro unit for an automatic switching of the reception electrodes according to preset sequence of measurements ; these sequences have to be created and uploaded to the unit from the ELECTRE II software.

The use of such boxes allows to save time in case of the user needs to measure more than 10 levels of investigation or in case of large 2D or 3D acquisition. DATA MANAGING

PROSYS software allows to download data from the unit. From this software, one has the opportunity to visualize graphically the apparent resistivity and the chargeability sections together with the IP decay curve of each data point. Then, one can process the data (filter, insert topography, merge data files…) before exporting them to ″txt″ file or to interpretation software: RES2DINV or RESIX software for pseudo-section inversion to true resistivity (and IP) 2D section. RES3DINV software, for inversion to true resistivity (and IP) 3D data.
