Summary

A sampling program of the ore pile located near the Hermina No. 3 Shaft on Trelawney Mining

and Exploration’s Massey Property was undertaken during the months of June 30 and July 1,

2011. A total of 62 rock samples were taken from the ore pile and assayed for gold, copper,

silver and uranium. Samples were submitted to Cattarello Assayers Inc. in Timmins, Ontario.

Only partial assay results were received from the laboratory at the time that this report was

written. Results of 50 out 62 gold assays were received and the rest of the assays for gold for

the remaining 12 samples and 62 silver, copper and uranium assays are pending.

Introduction

Trelawney recently spent June and July refurbishing and upgrading the access roads within their

Massey Property for the purpose of undertaken exploration activities. The road took four

weeks to re-establish to access the ore pile for sampling. Five culverts were placed along the

access road. Contractor excavator and rock truck equipment were utilized for the

refurbishment of the road. These expenses are not being applied for assessment work credit as

they are considered as infrastructure-upgrading costs. The excavator, however, was

systematically utilized for sampling rock samples from the ore pile. The purpose of the program

was to characterize the type of mineralization on the property, envisaged to be of an IOCG-type

deposit. A total of 62 samples were collected for gold, copper, silver and uranium assays.

Location and Access

The Massey Property occupies parts of Salter and May Townships, approximately 85 km west of

Sudbury, Ontario in the Sudbury Mining Division. The property is located about 7 km

northwest of the town of Massey. The NTS reference for the area is 41J/1.

Access to the property is provided by provincial highway number 17 and seconday gravel roads.

About 4 km west of Massey, Seldom Seen Road branches off of highway 17 in a northerly

direction linking up with a seasonal road at its terminus. This provides access from the western

side of the property. Some secondary logging roads and old trails provide access to various

parts of the property by foot or all-terrane vehicle.

Regional Geology

The Massey Property lies within the Southern Structural Province of the Canadian Shield. This

province is characterized by the occurrence of the Paleoproterozoic Huronian Supergroup, an

assemblage of mainly sedimentary and subordinate volcanic rocks that rest unconformably on

older Archean rocks of the Superior Province.

The Huronian Supergroup forms an arcuate belt extending for a distance of about 450 km from

the east shore of Lake Superior to Sudbury and northeast to the Noranda area of Quebec. The

Huronian rocks consist of 4 unconformity bounded mainly sedimentary groups: the Elliot Lake

group, the Hough Lake group, the Quirke Lake group and the Cobalt Group. The Elliot Lake

Group is the only one that contains volcanic rocks. All of the Huronian rocks were folded and

faulted during at least one major orogenic event - the Penokian orogeny. Several igneous


5

intrusions are spatially associated with rocks of the Huronian Supergroup. Layered gabbro -

Anorthosite intrusions known as the East Bull Lake Suite are localized along the base of the

sedimentary pile. Examples are the East Bull Lake Intrusion and the May Township anorthosite.

Nipissing gabbro bodies form dikes and sills that are widespread throughout the Huronian

Supergroup. Several granitic to syenitic bodies intrude the Huronian sediments. Rocks in the

Southern Province have been folded and faulted during the Penokian orogeny. However a

major structure associated with these rocks is the Murray fault. This fault is thought to have

been active for about 1 billion years and it has in part controlled the location and distribution of

the sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Dip slip movements of 10 to 15 kilometres have been

estimated for the Murray fault. This fault crosses the southern portion of the Massey Property.

Property Geology

The oldest rocks exposed on the property are the Archean granite and mafic metavolcanics

underlying the northern part of the property. These rocks have been intruded by a gabbro -

anorthosite body. Along the southern edge of the property, units composed of quartzite or

argillite of quartzite and/or argillite are present. These rocks have been assigned to the Pecors

and Matinenda formations, respectively. Deformation is most evident in the argillites where a

prominent foliation increases in intensity towards the south likely due to the effects of the

Murray fault. Nipissing gabbro intrudes all other rock types on the property.

Economic Geology

This Massey Property covers three former producing Cu mines, the Massey mine, the Hermina

number 1 mine and the Hermina number 3 mine. The deposits on the property exhibit many

characteristics in common with an important class of giant ore deposits referred to as iron

oxide – copper – gold (IOCG) deposits. One of the most well-known of these deposits is the

huge Olympic Dam deposit in Austrailia. This deposit contains 2.3 billion tonnes grading 1.3 %

Cu, 0.5 g/t Au and 0.4 kg/t U3O8.

The Massey mine consists of three workings over a strike length of about 1.6 km and the claims

cover two of these. It was discovered around 1900 and it produced during the periods 1901-

1906, 1915-1917 and 1968-1970. An estimated 18,535 tonnes of ore grading 2.82 % Cu were

mined from the deposit. A 1956 report on the area indicated that only 600 metres of an

estimated 2400 metres of known strike length were ever drill tested.


6

The Hermina mine consists of two shafts about 1700 metres apart. The main shaft (#3) is 500

feet deep with development on four levels. It was reportedly sunk on a quartz “vein” up to 9

metres wide mineralized with chalcopyrite. The “vein” contains many wallrock clasts and is

associated with hematite, chlorite and silica alteration of the enclosing granite. A total of

11,900 tonnes of ore were mined at a grade of 4.21 % Cu. The number 1 shaft is 312 feet deep

with development on three levels. Past sampling of the dumps at the #3 and # 1 shaft areas

returned values of up to 1.88 g/t Au and 9.56 g/t Au respectively. Although the Hermina does

not entirely fit the classic IOCG model it appears to be located on a splay of the Murray fault

with its confluence near the Massey mine and it may be related to geological events in this

area.

Work Performed

Trelawney Mining and Exploration personnel undertook a sampling program of the Hermina no.

3 rock pile located on claim 3009372 on June 30 and July 1, 2011. The purpose of the sampling

program was to determine the metal content of the rock pile.

The work was completed by Neil Gauthier (supervisor) of Trelawney with the assistance of two

employees. One contracted excavator was used for the sampling. Samples were taken at two

depths, at 2 feet and 6 feet below the surface of the ore pile.

A total of 20 hours over 2 days was required for the sampling program. The samples were

tagged and bagged and sent via pickup by Trelawney personnel to Cattarello Assayers Inc.

Results of 50 out 62 gold assays were received and the balance of the assays for gold for the

remaining 12 samples and 62 silver, copper and uranium assays are pending.

Results

The assay certificates for gold for 50 of the 62 rock samples submitted have been received.

Samples numbers are in sequence from 07701 to 07750. Samples were assayed for gold using

Fire Assay techniques at Cattarello Assayers Inc. in Timmins, Ontario.

Assays returned gold values ranging from below detection limits of 5 ppb (0.005 g/t Au) to a

high of 86 ppb (0.086 g/t Au.). The average grade of the rocks sampled was 21 ppb or 0.021 g/t

Au.

Recommendations for Further Exploration

It appears that the preliminary results for the rock pile at the Hermina #3 Mine indicate that

this pile is most likely waste rock from Hermina. Final assay results for the remaining gold

assays as well as copper, silver and uranium will provide a more definite picture on the pile’s

metal content.

Work Performed By

The field sampling program was supervised by Neil Gauthier of Trelawney Mining and

Exploration. This report was written and completed on July 27, 2011 by Gary Nassif of

Trelawney.
