8.1 1969 Terry Toop discovered and mined, possibly the richest, and 17geologically most unusual shallow placer gold deposit of the Cariboo.

8.2 J.Sefel & Associates optioned the Toop placer properties in 1978 18with exploration drilling and stripping the south bank of Mary Creek.

8.3 Dynamar Energy Ltd. obtained the rights in 1980 to conduct 18exploration and development of the Toop Properties.

8.4 1983, M. Poschner acquired the placer ground adjacent to 19PML 7252 on Alice Creek and discovered a buried high gradeplacer gold pay zone near the northeast corner of PML 7252.

8.5 1985, Mary Creek Resources Ltd. began an exploration 19program of VLF and Magnetic Surveys with geological mappingand prospecting over 60 line kilometers of grid lines. Theypurchased the adjacent claims in 1985 and then amalgamatedto form Pundata Gold Corporation.

3.0 SUMMARY

The Rogers Gold Corp., Man Property (formerly, partially the Toop Property) consists of21 mineral tenures recorded on Map Sheets 093G and 093G010 Cariboo MiningDivision. Details are as follows: 14 contiguous mineral claims, totaling 835.67 hectares(2,064.94 acres), overlain contiguously by 3 placer leases and 4 placer claims, totaling343.89 hectares (849.75 acres).

Two placer leases and two placer claims are owned 100% by Rogers Gold Corp. whilethe remaining placer claims, leases and mineral claims are 100% held under option byRogers Gold Corp. from the owners of record; Ethel and Gary Toop of Lac La Hacheand Quesnel, B.C. See Section 6.0 for property details.

The Rogers Gold Man Property is located approximately 27kilometers (16.8 Miles) eastof Quesnel and 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) north of Cottonwood, in north central BritishColumbia's Cariboo Mining District. Quesnel is approximately 660kilometers (410 miles)north east of the City of Vancouver and 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of PrinceGeorge. Access to the property is via highway 26 (an all weather paved road) whichruns easterly from Quesnel to Cottonwood and then 7 kilometers (4.4 miles) north by allweather gravel road to the Alice-Mary Creek junction on logging roads 600 to 3500. TheRogers Gold Man Property is located near the junction of Alice, Norton and MaryCreeks.

Past placer mining operations, on Alice and Mary Creeks have recovered significantamounts of placer gold from preglacial and interglacial gravels deposited in a deeplyincised northwesterly striking paleo channel. Examination of the gold recovered frompast operations on Mary and Alice Creek shows that approximately 65 percent of thegold is comprised of hackly, spongy gold, or pounded wire gold associated with quartz;the remainder is somewhat darker in color and exhibits a well worn surface nature.

It is apparent that the older basal gravels are preglacial remnants and the clayeygravels represent later inter-glacial gravels intermixed with some earlier gravels. Mostimportantly, it indicates that the gold is of two distinct geologic ages and has twodifferent sources. The well worn gold in the basal gravel is probably Tertiary in age andis well travelled. However, the hackly gold in the inter-glacial section has travelled littleand apparently originates in quartz veins or veinlets in tuffs related to the ColdspringVolcanic Centre located slightly to the south of this property.

Page 6: Rogers Gold Man Placer / Mineral Project NI 43-101

NI 43-101 Page 6 of 65 Rogers Gold Man Project

The property is located in the Quesnel Trough, a fault bounded Upper Triassic-Jurassicisland arc plutonic belt. Local geology consists primarily of Upper Triassic blackargillites, siltstones and rare fine sandstone layers. These rocks locally containsignificant disseminated quartz veining and sulphide mineralization; mainly pyrite, andlocally float samples of lead, silver, copper, gold and platinum. The Rogers Gold mineralclaim area has excellent potential to host a significant volcanic related lode gold deposit.

Since Toop's discovery, most exploration has concentrated on locating the extension ofToop's paleo channel with little exploration effort expended on the areas of lode goldpotential. In 1988, Foxview Management drilled several diamond drill holes in the area,one of which returned low grade gold values in a 58 meter (77 foot) section of highlyaltered tuff.

Identification of the Coldspring Volcanic Center now suggests that the rough nuggetsfound in Toop's placer operation could well have originated from erosion of a nearbyauriferous volcanic source.

Rogers Gold Corp. has planned detailed exploration programs to evaluate the placerand bedrock precious metal potential of the Man Property using modern geological,geochemical, geophysical, drilling and bulk testing procedures. This is the first largescale multi-discipline exploration program to evaluate the total property usingNI 43-101 technical standards of testing evaluation and documentation. The author isworking with Rogers Gold Corp. staff to plan, implement and oversee this project.

4.0 INTRODUCTION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE

4.1 Purpose of Report

The purpose of this report is to summarize the history of each of the previous

exploration and mining activities on the Rogers Gold Man Property, particularly during

the periods from 1972 to 1993. Historically, this property has been drill tested and bulk

sampled and the results documented by engineering reports that have led to previous

placer gold production decisions for mines on the property. The gold mining appears to

have been successful in past production reports; therefore, we must assume that the

evaluation methods were good. The emphasis of this report is to present the technical

evidence from these reports in a new report written to NI 43-101 Technical Review

compliant standards.

4.2 Extent of Field Involvement of the Qualified Person

Terry Garrow worked almost exclusively as both a consultant and Senior Project

Geologist for alluvial underground and open pit exploration and production projects for

the period 1986 to 1997.

The author of this report (Terry Garrow) was the Senior Field Project Geologist for Gold

Ridge Resources on the Wingdam Property, only a few miles from the Rogers Gold

Man Property, during 1989-90 when the deep channel was de-watered and the 670.6

meter (2,200 feet) bedrock decline was driven from surface on the southeast side of

Lightning Creek to the bottom of the deep channel at a depth of 50meters (164 feet) to

access the rich placer gold tertiary channel.

The author made a trip to the Man Property March 29, 2010 to discuss the history of the

property and future exploration and mining plans with the management and technical

staff of Rogers Gold Corp and Gary Toop.

7.0 ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE, ANDPHYSIOLOGY

Accessibility

The claims are accessible by vehicle from Quesnel. Access is obtained by followingHighway 97 six kilometers north of Quesnel and then turning east on theWells/Barkerville Highway (#26). Approximately 25 kilometers east of the junction ofHighways 97 and 26, at Cottonwood House Historic Park, the 600 logging haul roadjoins the highway from the north. This road is followed in a north-northeasterly directionfor approximately 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) until it crosses John Boyd Creek andproceeds sharply north. From this point the 3500 logging haul road heads east andcrosses the Moran and Yank claims after approximately 1.75 kilometers (1.09 miles).Numerous placer mining roads cross the claims. All parts of the claims are easilyaccessible by vehicle.

Climate

The climate at the Rogers Gold Property is considered moderate for north central BritishColumbia. Average daily temperatures range from 12.1 Celsius in July to -10.7 Celsiusin January. Precipitation is moderately high averaging 104.4 cm/yr. (41.13 inches/yr.), ofwhich 50% falls as snow between October and April.

Local Resources and Infrastructure

Daily airplane, bus and rail service to the City of Quesnel provides this area of 25,000residents with supplies for the multiple lumber mills, the active mining industry andtourism in the area. All required supplies and services are available in Quesnel orPrince George, which is 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) by road).

Physiography

Elevations of the property range from 912 to 973 meters (3000 to 3200 feet) and theterrain is gently sloped to rolling. Much of the property is drift covered, but there isabundant outcrop in Mary and Norton Creeks, and in pits and trenches resulting fromthe placer mining activity in the area. Glacial ice moved in a northerly direction in thevicinity of the property. The area covered by the claims is largely logged off; someunlogged areas on the southern part of the claims have mature stands of fir, pine andcedar. Overburden consists of a thick cover of glacial gravels and till. Sporadic rockoutcrops occur along the side slopes of both creeks.

8.0 HISTORY OF EXPLORATION AND MINING

8.1 In 1969 Terry Toop discovered and mined possibly the richest and geologicallymost unusual shallow placer gold deposit in the Cariboo, on the west flank ofMary Creek (PML 7141). The Toop Placer Mine has been operated since 1969and has been conducted primarily as a family, father and son operation. Duringthese 21 years (from 1969 TO 1990) 7 larger companies have optioned differentareas of the Toop placer and mineral tenures and have initiated explorationactivities which mainly were contained within the shallow glacial melt waterchannel on the property. Numerous articles on the Toop Placer Gold Mine havebeen published in magazines and journals, but very few technical and geologicalreports on the property itself have been published.

From 1969 to1977 the Toop family opened up the discovery deposit on MaryCreek using small conventional mining equipment with good results mainly fromthe pre-glacial Paleo channel. Mr. Toop has high graded areas of the valley floorof PML 7141 along the Mary Creek. It soon became obvious that an extensivedrilling and stripping program was required to develop the gold bearing gravels ofthe richer, deeper bedrock paleo channel on this property and this would requirea larger company with a detailed geological property evaluation and anengineered mining plan to remove the overburden efficiently, to recover theplacer and bedrock minerals at a profit.

The bulk of the Toop production to date has come from the basal paleo channelon bedrock with thicknesses of 1.52 to 7.59 meters (5 to 25 feet) across achannel 53.20 to 76.00 (175 to 250) feet wide and extending for at least 488meters (1,600 feet) along the length of Mary and Norton Creeks within P.M.L.7141. Approximately, 186.62 kilograms (6,000 ounces) of gold are reported tohave been produced from approximately 30,582 cubic meters (40,000 cubicyards) of material processed through the wash plant. This production has largelybeen mined from a zone averaging 3.05 meters (ten feet) thick at the base of thepay sequence and includes up to 1.22 meters (4 feet) of the fractured and brokenbedrock. A strong nugget effect is present on the property with high gradesections crossing the paleo channel spaced at an average of 30.48 meters (100feet) apart. Nuggets have commonly ranged from 10 grams to 100 grams (.32 to3.2 troy ounces) in size.

Page 18: Rogers Gold Man Placer / Mineral Project NI 43-101

NI 43-101 Page 18 of 65 Rogers Gold Man Project

HISTORY OF EXPLORATION AND MINING (CONTINUED)

The gold from Mary Creek has a majority of hackly, spongy irregularly surfacedcoarse nuggets with the balance being elongated, well rounded and polished.The opinion is that the bulk of the Mary Creek gold is locally derived and appearsto be directly associated with local bedrock quartz veining.

The Toop properties provide an excellent example of the mining potential ofdeeply buried preglacial fluvial placers. The cost of removing large volumes ofoverburden is offset by the potential richness of the deep paleo channel gravel.In deposits of this type, detailed sedimentological and stratigraphic data will helpidentify the extent and volume of the gold-bearing strata, as well as the thicknessof over-lying non-auriferous sediments.

8.2 J. Sefel & Associates optioned the Toop Placer properties in 1978 and begandrilling. A Becker Hammer Drill was used to drill 33 holes with limited results.Enough positive data was obtained during the initial season to commencestripping 488 meters (1,600 feet) on the south flank of Mary Creek. Test pitswere conducted at various locations within the melt water valley contributing tothe geological interpretation and merits of the Toop holdings. However, disputesarose between the parties ending the working agreement. No Technical Reportis available.

8.3 Dynamar Energy Ltd. obtained the rights in 1980 to conduct exploration anddevelopment of the Toop Placer properties. Bulk testing was conducted atdifferent locations but limited equipment and funding resulted in termination ofthe agreement.

From 1981 to 1989 there were various legal disputes involving theaforementioned optionor's that prevented further development of the properties.Terry continued to high grade mine the fractured zones of the paleo channel on avery small scale with impressive results. During this period numerous major andjunior public companies attempted to negotiate an option on the Toop holdingsbut to no avail. However, significant geological work was conducted in this areaas well as on the Toop holdings by various companies and individuals via fieldstudies, sampling, geophysical examinations, drilling and property evaluationwhich included reports from Murray A. Roed, Ph D, Jennifer Pell, Ph D, PundataResources Ltd, (formerly Mary Creek Resources); and a study of Gold-BearingPlacers by Victor M. Levson and Timothy R. Giles, B.C. Ministry of Mines.

8.4 1983, M. Poschner acquired the placer ground adjacent to Toop’s PML 7252 onAlice Creek and discovered a buried high grade placer gold pay zone near thenortheast corner of PML 7252. A test adit was driven into the hillside at the pointof discovery and impressive quantities of extremely coarse gold were recovered.From 1983 to1988, production on the B. Patrick claims (formerly M. Poschneroperation), has limited information available. The Patrick Placer operation was atrommel-screen deck-sluicing production plant, processing gold bearing gravelsfrom the Alice Creek paleochannel. The recorded production was 5,885.9 bankcubic meters (7,694 bank cubic yards) processed and $29.20 Cdn per bankyard was the result@ $350 Cdn gold /ounce. The best gold values occurassociated with the bedrock interface over thicknesses of 0.91 to 4.57 meters (3to15 feet); however, the total pay can range from 1.52 to 7.62 meters (5 to 25feet). Gold is predominantly characterized by coarse nuggets with varying,though usually subordinate, amounts of fine gold. The nugget effect ispronounced, with values ranging widely from $1.00 to over $92.00 Cdn @ $350Cdn gold /ounce within short distances. Significant pockets of high grade areindicated to occur on the average at about 30.48 meters (100-foot) intervals.

8.5 1985, Mary Creek Resources Ltd. began a detailed bedrock exploration programof VLF and Magnetic Surveys with geological mapping and prospecting over 60line kilometers (37.3 miles)of grid lines. They purchased the adjacent claims in1985 and then amalgamated to form Pundata Gold Corporation. Then furtherexploration using Induced Polarization Surveys followed by rotary drilling andminor diamond drilling in 1985-1986 along with access road construction andadditional gridding. In early 1986, a Pulse EM Survey was completed. In 1986Pundata completed a diamond drill program on the MC-1 and MC-2 claims.

8.6 1986 Mask Creek Resources Corp. drilled a cable tool drill hole south ofColdspring Lake on MC-1 claim which contributed to the geologicalunderstanding of the area, locating the felsic volcanic center at Coldspring, whichcould be related to the local source of the Toop placer Gold. In1988 four reversecirculation rotary drill holes were drilled along the paleo- channel on MC-2 claim.In 1988 core from Pundata Gold Corporation drilling program, including diamonddrill holes D4, D13, D14, D15, D16, D17 and D18 was re-examined. In D16 from53 to 53.6 meters (173.8 to 175.9 feet) the sample is reported to have assayed1.02 grams per tonne gold. Core from D4 was petrographically analyzed in 1988and a particle of native gold was found in a sample of felsic lithic tuff at 23.8 m.

HISTORY OF EXPLORATION AND MINING (CONTINUED)

8.7 Early in 1988, PML 7252 on Alice Creek was optioned to Cumorah ExplorationLtd. of Calgary Alberta, and a mapping and drilling program was completed byLeary, G. M. 1988). Property mapping and a total of 35 large diameter 0.91 to10.94 meters (3’ to 4’) auger holes were drilled to depths of 30.48 meters (100feet) were successful in delineating the top and eastern margins of the southernextension of the Alice Creek pay channel through the western portion of PML7252. This pay channel is indicated to be 5.79 to 7.62 meters (19 to 25 feet) thickby 36.58 to 115.82 meters (120 to 380 feet) wide to 356.62 meters (1,170 feet) inlength. This channel appears to be unexplored to the north, south and west.During 1988 Cumorah Resources bulk tested selected areas of a 3,825(cubicmeter 5,000 cubic yard) tailings pile from the Toop Mine on PML 7252, whichshowed recoverable placer gold values averaging $6.13 CDN/ cubic yard @$350 Cdn gold /ounce.

8.8 In 1988 Terry Toop sold P.M.L. 7252 to Blue Grass Mining Ltd. and also optionedP.M.L. 7141 for mine development purposes. Valuable information was obtainedfrom five 1.22 meter (4foot) diameter caisson drill holes completed on P.M.L.7141. The testing of the Toop tailings dump was also completed. An estimated11,475 cubic meters (15,000 cubic yards) yielded an average of $6.13 per cubicyard @$350 Cdn gold /ounce. Blue Grass ran into contractor problems whicheventually caused cessation of all operations by 1990.

G. Leary (1988) mapping and drilling program on P.M.L. 7252 with some carryover to P.M.L. 7141 as summarized by are as follows. The property covers aportion of the southern extension of a NNE-SSW oriented tertiary basal paychannel consisting of a gold-bearing ferruginous and manganiferous gravel-siltsequence along Alice Creek. This pay channel sequence of ferruginous breccia-gravel and manganiferous grey gravel extending NW-SE to E-W along MaryCreek. The two channel sequences lie on bedrock of highly fractured andbroken argillite, are overlain by up to 32 meters (105 feet) of glacial and interglacial sediments, that reflect a high energy system of paleo-channels that flowedrespectively southerly and westerly to their confluence immediately southwest ofPML 7252.

HISTORY OF EXPLORATION AND MINING (CONTINUED)

8.9 In 1990 Farrow Mineral Development Corporation optioned the properties fromthe Toop's in order to explore a near surface high channel. Terry believed that ahigh remnant channel paralleled Mary Creek on the northern bench opposite theconfluence of Norton Creek. Although the near surface deposit could not belocated, Farrow did complete extensive exploration on PML 7141.

1. Farrow drilled and confirmed the northern trend of the Paleo channelwithin the western section of P.M.L. 7141.

2. Farrow processed approximately 7,650 cubic meters (10,000 cubic yards) oftrenching and bulk testing placer gravels.

3. Farrow confirmed the previous grades on the Toop tailings dump conductedby Blue Grass during 1989.

4. Farrow Corp. dug and processed 4 test pits along the area that Terry and Garyhad worked near the discovery pit to look for high grade paleo-channel remnants.The bed rock in this area was weathered and highly fractured black argillites andphyllites. A north south regional fault is suspected in this area and some bedrockslickenside was noticed.

Good gold recovery was obtained at test Pits 1 - 4. The pay zone, in these areas,which varied from 0.61 to 2.44 meters (2 ft to 8 feet), was possibly a remnant ofthe high run or the preglacial and interglacial melt water deposition. The samplematerial from the pit was dark grey and black gravel with angular rocks thatlooked like mud flow debris with weathered black argillitic bedrock. The raw goldgrade from Pit 1 was $25 per cu yd @$350 Cdn gold /ounce. Most nuggets arerough, pitted with quartz. There was also rounded and flattened nuggetsrecovered as well.

Farrow Corp. was able to confirm the historic gold grades from the placeroperations by T. Toop who had used a trommel-screen deck-sluicing goldrecovery plant, to process gold bearing channel gravels from the Mary Creekpaleo-channel. Production information available from these operations indicatesthat from 1969 to 1987 an average of $99.00 Cdn per bank cubic yard wasrecovered from approximately 25,500 bank cubic meters (33,333 bank cubicyards) processed by the T. Toop operation. The T. Toop operation has mined thebest gravels very selectively.

HISTORY OF EXPLORATION AND MINING (CONTINUED)

The best gold values occur associated with the bedrock interface overthicknesses of 0.91 to 4.57 meters(3 to15 feet); however, the pay gravelsaverage about 4.57 meters (15 feet) thickness in the Mary Creek channel.

The Toop gold is predominantly characterized by coarse nuggets with varying,though usually subordinate, amounts of fine gold. The nugget effect is verypronounced, with values ranging widely from $1.00 to over $92.00 Cdn per bankyard @ $350 Cdn gold / ounce within short distances. Significant pockets of highgrade are indicated to occur intermittently and unexplainably, on the average atabout 30.48 meter (100-foot) intervals along the paleo-channel.

5. 4 Seismic lines were completed to outline various features of the Mary & Nortonpaleo-channel.

Seismic Line 1

The first line we ran roughly parallel to the road, pit and creek. The velocitydistribution is similar to the other lines. The bedrock in the hillside is apparentlyquite deep and the rim rock does not mirror the ground surface topography.

Seismic Line 2

Here is a section looking upstream of the most downstream line. Of criticalimportance is the nature of the 2130 meter per second layer. This velocity wouldordinarily be associated with a dense, course glacial till. This velocity may alsorepresent very weak bedrock or weathered bedrock.

The overlying 365 meter per second and 1035 meter per second zones arebelieved to represent weathered glacial till.

Seismic Line 3

Here is the section for the most upstream line. Similar velocities are present inthe layering to the previous section.

There is a definite refractor with a velocity of 3250 meter per second, which isbelieved to be bedrock and the depths to this refractor have been calculated.

Seismic Line 4

This is the section for the seismic line on the other side of the pit. Theoverburden layering is similar to the other lines except for the 750 meters persecond surface layer which is stiff silt, gravel, cobbles and appears to be till.

There is an apparent deep depression in the 3250 meter per second interpretedbedrock surface near geophone no. 10. You may want to drill or do additionalseismic before you commit funding to removing that much overburden.

9.0 GEOLOGICAL SETTING

9.1 Regional Bedrock Geology

The Rogers Gold Man Property, which lies within the Quesnel Trough, is a linear belt ofearly Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks lying along the western margin of theOmineca Crystalline Belt. The Quesnel Trough is a division of the Intermontane Belt,one of the five major tectonic subdivisions of the Canadian Cordillera. It is fault boundedon the east and juxtaposed against older Paleozoic and Precambrian metasedimentarystrata and on the west by Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Cache CreekGroup.

The Quesnel Trough is comprised of rocks which are believed to represent an island arcassemblage formed at a consuming plate margin above an easterly dipping subductionzone which existed from late Jurassic to early Triassic time (Saleken and Simpson,1984). The lithologies have been traced southwards to beyond the international borderand northwards to beyond Prince George. The successions near the Rogers Gold ManProperty and northwards have been assigned to the Takla Group, which is correlativewith the Nicola Group, to the south. The base of the succession comprises a blackargillite unit of Upper Triassic age which is exposed on the eastern margin of the Trough(Saleken and Simpson, 1984). The basal black argillite is overlain by a series of augiteporphyry flows, breccias and minor argillites and siltstones. This sequence is, in turn,overlain by volcaniclastic rocks and argillites of Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic age,and accumulations of intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks in local centers.

During the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Columbian Orogeny, the oceanic rocks ofthe Quesnel Trough were obducted onto the continent and somewhat deformed andmetamorphosed. If the late Cretaceous, granitic bodies locally intruded rocks of theQuesnel Trough, Tertiary extension resulted in block faulting, which is the dominantstructural style throughout most of the belt.

NI 43-101 Page 26 of 65 Rogers Gold Man Project

Regional Bedrock Geology (Continued)

Rocks of the Barkerville Terrane host most of the main lode gold occurrences in thearea and are believed to be the main source of placer gold (Struik, 1988). Rocks of theSnowshoe Group are the most significant, especially the Downey and Harveys Ridgesuccessions, and to a lesser extent the Eaglenest and Ramos successions. Thesuccessions consist mainly of micaceous quartzites and interbedded phyllites. Otherless common rock types include schist, slate, siltstone, limestone, marble, amphiboliteand meta-tuff.

The distribution of placer deposits in the Quesnel Terrane is largely controlled by thegeography of regional river systems of Tertiary age and locally by the occurrence ofauriferous quartz veins in Triassic phyllites and argillites. The black argillites areoverlain by a series of augite porphyry flows, breccias and minor siltstones. Thissequence is, in turn, overlain by volcanoclastics rocks and argillites of Upper Triassic toLower Jurassic age, and accumulations of intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks in localcenters. Lode Gold was reported in the Quesnel Trough as early as 1902, when placerminers drifted on mineralized quartz veins in the argillites such as at Wingdam onLightning creek south east of Rogers Gold Property. Exploration in the trough hasrevealed a number of promising deposits, some of which are outlined as follows:

1) Cariboo Bell

The Cariboo Bell copper-gold deposit is located 63 kilometers (39.15 miles) southeastof the Rogers Gold Property in the Cottonwood area. The deposit was found in 1964after ground examination of magnetic anomaly revealed copper oxide mineralization, adiscovery which preceded a flurry of exploration activity. The latest published geologicreserves are 106 million tonnes (117 million tons ) grading 0.317 Cu and 0.41 grams pertonne (0.012 ounces per ton) gold, including a high grade zone of 27.2 million tonnes(30 million tons) grading 0.38% Cu and 0.62grams per tonne (0.018 ounces per ton)gold (Saleken and Simpson 1984.) Mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, magnetiteand alteration minerals mainly confined to high level, intrusive breccia zones within analkaline intrusion hosted in Upper Triassic volcanic rocks. The intrusion is a zonedcomplex, 6 kilometers (3.73 miles) in length, consisting of syenodiorite, monzoniteporphyry, intrusion breccia and pyrozenite-gabbro. The intrusion is surrounded byconcentric alteration zones, grading from a K-feldspar / biotite / diopside core to agarnet / epidote intermediate zone, to a pyritic epidote perimeter zone (Hodgsen et al,1976).

Regional Bedrock Geology (Continued)

2) The Dome OR Deposit

Dome's Quesnel River (QR) property, located near Likely, approximately 50 kilometres(37 miles) southeast of the Cottonwood area, contains a potential large tonnage - lowgrade deposit. Mineable reserves, as of March 1985, were estimated at 862,000 tonnes(950,355 tons) grading 6.8 grams gold per tonne (0.029 troy ounces gold per ton).

Mineralization occurs disseminated within a propylitic alteration halo in brecciated UpperTriassic basaltic volcanic rocks near a zoned alkaline diorite to syenite porphyry stock(Fox et al, 1985). Local lenses of massive sulphides are also present. Sulphidespresent are mainly pyrite, with lesser amounts of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, and tracesof arsenopyrite and galena. The mineralized horizons occur immediately below asedimentary contact and above a strongly carbonated zone (C Saleken and Simpson,1984). Three ore zones have been identified; all lie between 200 and 600 meters (656to 1970 feet) away from the alkaline stock. Airborne magnetic anomalies and detailedgrid geochemistry led to a drill program which revealed the mineralization. The mostuseful geochemical pathfinder elements were Au, Fe, Co, Sb, Mor Mg, As and V (Fox etal, 1985) (Wallis 1989).

Pundata Properties

Recent exploration by Pundata Resources (formerly Mary Creek Resources) on theirproperty which is immediately south of the Moran and Windy claims, has led to thediscovery of a new gold occurrence. Assay results of up to 48.33 grams per tonne (1.41troy ounces / ton) across a three meter (9.86 foot) width have been reported (NorthernMiner, Feb. 17, 1986). Previous to this a sequence of steeply dipping light brownbanded kaolinized tuffs, similar to the stony clays in the Toop pit, was discovered duringroad construction 600 meters (1,968 feet) south of Toop's pit. Two outcrops weresubsequently uncovered which revealed a projected stratigraphic thickness of at least150 meters (492 feet) of bands of soft kaolinized tuff. One of the outcrops is laced withwhite to light gray quartz and vuggy quartz veins that assayed 600 ppb gold. The tuffassayed 1950 ppb gold. The theory was that volcanic rocks at the locality indicated thepresence of a volcanic center that had previously escaped detection. This center isinformally referred to as the Coldspring Volcanic Center. The unmetamorphosed natureof the rocks, their folded and fractured condition and the alteration suggest that thecenter may be Cretaceous or early Tertiary in age (Roed 1987).

NI 43-101 Page 28 of 65 Rogers Gold Man Project

Regional Bedrock Geology (Continued)

The primary hard-rock exploration targets in the Quesnel Trough are of three maintypes:

semi-comfortable, stratabound gold mineralizationhosted in permeable Upper Triassic volcaniclastic rocks and blackargillites which form the base of the Quesnel Trough sequence, forexample the Fraser gold deposit and the Jamboree showing;

gold vein deposits in Upper Triassic blackargillites for example the Spanish Mountain sequence.

porphyry gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits associated with and peripheral to alkalicstocks intruding Triassic-Jurassic volcanics and sedimentary rocks as in the QR or theCariboo-Bell sequences.

Historically, Fred Marshall Wells discovered gold in quartz on the shores of the Jack ofClubs Lake at the foot of Cow Mountain in 1926. The town of Wells was built during thedevelopment of the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine which began operations in 1930. Thiswas to become the best known lode gold deposit in the Cariboo Mining Districtproducing over 3.6 million tonnes (4 million tons)grading 13.71 grams of gold per tonne(0.4 troy ounces of gold per ton).

Opposite the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine in the town of Wells, was The Island MountainMine which was developed for production by the Newmont Mining Corporation of NewYork in 1933. Operations continued until August 1954 producing 736,484 tonnes of14.74 gram gold per tonne (812,000 tons of 0.43 ounces gold per ton). Today both ofthese operations are controlled by Mosquito Mines Ltd. a Vancouver Stock Exchangecompany with aspirations to open again once gold prices achieve a higher plateau.

9.2 Property Bedrock Geology

The geology of the claim area is best described by Pell, Jennifer (1988) in a geologicalreport on the Yank, Windy and Moran claims.

The Mary and Norton Creek area is predominantly underlain by Upper Triassic blackargillites, siltstones and rare, fine-grained sandstone layers (Map Unit Utr) which formthe base of the Takla Group. These strata are east-west to southeast-northwest strikingand generally dip moderately shallow to the north. East-west striking, moderatelysteeply north-dipping faults were noted in a number of locations. The sedimentary rockslocally contain disseminated sulphide mineralization; with pyrite being the main sulphidemineral present. Pyrite is also commonly disseminated along fractures and associatedwith quartz stringer veins, both within the quartz veins and concentrated adjacent to theveins. Locally, altered mafic dykes, probably of original gabbroic composition, cut theargillites. The strata in the Mary and Norton Creek area have only been slightlymetamorphosed, attaining sub to lower greenschist facies.

In the northeast part of the claim area, on Windy 4 and Yank 2, Paleozoicmetasedimentary rocks crop out. Dominant lithologies in the area are pyritiferousmicaceous quartzites and grits, with minor phyllite. These strata are part of the OminecaBelt, and are in thrust contact with the Quesnel Trough lithologies to the west.

In the southern part of the claim area, on Windy 1 and Moran 1, cream, buff to rustyweathering clay beds which strike east-west and dip 40-60° to the north are exposed. X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the dominant clay mineral present is illite; minoralbite feldspar and quartz are also present. The clay beds are considered to besedimentary in origin, as Ulite is predominantly found in sedimentary rocks such asshales and mudstones, and are correlated with the Oligocene Australian CreekFormation, which also crops out in small basins along John Boyd and Lightning Creeks(Rouse and Mathews, 1979).

NI 43-101 Page 30 of 65 Rogers Gold ManProject

Property Bedrock Geology (Continued)

Murray Roed, (1984) reports that "1984 access road construction approximately 600meters (1,968 feet) south of the Toop Placer pit uncovered a sequence of steeplydipping, light brown, banded, kaolinized tuffs lithologically similar to some of the clastsin the grey stoney gravels in the Toop Placer pit. Two outcrops were uncovered whichrevealed a stratigraphic thickness of at least 150 meters (492 feet). One of the outcropsis laced with white to light grey quartz and vuggy quartz veins that assayed 600 ppbgold. The tuff assayed 1950 ppb gold."

Given the abundance of nuggets in the Mary Creek sequence, the postulated origin ofthe deposit as mudflows from a nearby source, and the drilling of eight exploratory holesin the area of the “source”, indications of economic gold deposits in the felsic tuffs,presumed to be the logical source, is inconclusive. The best indications were derivedfrom a diamond drill hole (D-4, Roed, 1988) located 600 meters (1,968 feet) south ofthe southern edge of the Toop pit. Particulate gold was recovered from over 58 meters(190.3 feet) of HQ core in highly altered varicolored tuff, but weighted assays resultedin less than 1.03 grams per tonne gold (0.03 ounce per ton) average.

9.3 Regional Surficial Sedimentary Geology

The property is located in the western region of the Barkerville placer gold area.Production records show that over $45,000,000 in gold was produced from placeroperations in the Barkerville-Cariboo district between 1859 and 1924 (Boyle, R.W.,1979). These records rank the Cariboo as the second most productive placer goldregion in Canada.

Placer gold deposits in the Barkerville area are characterized by gold bearing basalTertiary gravel channels on bedrock and to a lesser extent by overlying reconcentratedinterglacial channels in Pleistocene glacial gravels and tills. These deposits areassociated with bedrock geology which is predominantly Cariboo Group meta-sediments. A typical deposit is The Cariboo Gold Quartz deposit is a major lode goldsource in the area, and has produced over four million tons grading 13.71 grams of goldper tonne (0.4 ounces of gold per ton). This deposit is situated close to the eastern edgeof the fault bounded Quesnel trough, an Upper Triassic-Jurassic island arc volcanic-plutonic belt.

9.4 Property Surficial Sedimentary Geology

The Rogers Gold Man placer property's location on the western margin of theBarkerville-Cariboo district is unique to the district in that it is on the edge of the InteriorPlateau. The terrain at this location is less mountainous than Barkerville property, andas a result, the glacial sequence of gravel and till is much thicker.

The Man Property is a good example of multiple stacked placer gold deposits consistingof lower pre-glacial gravels and upper interglacial reconcentrated gravels along Maryand Alice Creeks. The placer deposit occurs in a northwesterly trending paleo-channel.

The bedrock or pre-glacial gravels are compact, bright orange colored and poorly sortedwith heavy limonitic-manganese incrustations and inclusions. Generally, these basalgravels are from 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) thick along Mary Creek to over 3.0 meters (9.84feet) thick in places along Alice Creek. The gold nuggets recovered from these gravelsare very worn and smooth.

The lower gravels on both P.M.L. 7252 and P.M.L. 7141 are very similar in appearance.Generally, it is composed of a compact, bright orange colored, poorly sorted gravelsequence with abundant graphitic-organic material and heavy limonitic-manganeseincrustations and inclusions. These gravels consist of rounded and angular clasts ofandesitic volcanics and metasediments local to the area. The coarse fraction (less than5 percent) appears to range from 30 to 46 centimeters (12 to I8 inches) in diameter.Well rounded quartz pebbles and cobbles are abundant throughout. Where examinedon P.M.L. 7141, the bedrock consists of highly fractured, rusty, and pyritic argillite. The1988 drill log (Leary, Geo. M. 1938) indicates that the bedrock on P.M.L. 7252 is thissame argillite member although in places it appears more graphitic than pyritic.According to Mr. T. Toop, extremely rich gold values have penetrated the upper bedrocksequence, requiring that at least 0.91 meters (three feet) of bedrock be taken whenmining.

A gold bearing, grey colored, stony clay rich gravel overlies the basal gravels in placesalong both Mary and Alice Creeks. Over 80 percent of the clasts in this sequence ofgravels consist of soft, sub-angular kaolinized tuff and related volcanic rocks. Theremaining clasts are composed of angular to sub-angular flat argillite and quartz,consistent with the bedrock geology.

Higher in the sequence and separated by several meters of till, an inconsistent gold-bearing gravel occurs. In outward appearance these gravels are very similar to thebasal gravels with the exception of abundant organic-graphitic material.

However, a high percentage of the clasts consist of andesitic to basaltic volcanics andkaolinized tuffs. At least two separate glacial till layers overly this sequence.

PETROLOGY OF THE STONY CLAYS

Petrologic analysis has been conducted by The University of British Columbia onnumerous samples of stony clay of the Mary Creek unit. The results of this aresummarized here.

The matrix of the stony clay units comprises 70% of the material and appears granularin hand samples but is extremely soft and breaks down almost entirely to clay uponwashing. Grains that remain are composed of bright silvery mica, light colored clay,blebs of graphite, quartz shards, light green altered feldspar, and a white soft mineraland other unidentified fragments. The fragments or clasts that make up the remaining30% of the unit are almost entirely composed of white, light green and gray aphaniticaltered tuffs in sharply angular pieces up to 10 cm in size. Beads and coatings ofpyrolusite and veins of a similar dark mineral that could be hornblende are common andthe pebbles have a red to yellow rind in many cases. A few subrounded argillite pebblesand cobbles occur and angular to subrounded pebbles of quartz are common.

Carbonaceous material is common in the deposit and varies from black soft graphiticflakes in the light gray clays, to lignite, charcoal and delicate fragments of whole twigs inthe stony clays; in one instance a part of a large fossil cedar tree trunk was found thatreportedly marked the site of an unusual concentration of nuggets close to bedrock.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Out of the lower stony clay, a perfectly preserved small delicate twig with numerousbranches and other pieces of a willow branch were dug. This material could only bepreserved in such a state in a mud flow type of deposit in which particles were "floated"along in a semi-liquid state.

The brightly colored stony clays suggest that they were subject to periods of oxidationand paleosol formation prior to the deposition of the interbeds of light gray clay. Thisindicates some form of rhythmic sedimentation.

The open work nature of the cemented gravel that caps the sequence is believed due toextensive leaching due to gossanization hence it is a diagenetic feature rather than asedimentation characteristic. This gravel is fluvial in origin, likely representing a one-time flood event.

OTHER MINERALS

Magnetite is not a common accessory in the sluice box. Numerous pans failed toprovide any black sand of any type except for pyrite cubes. The lack of heavies and thecomparative abundance of nuggets is anomalous relative to other placer deposits in thearea that are of alluvial origin. This supports a non-alluvial origin for much of the gold atthe Toop mine.

Malachite and cuprite are locally common in the residual layers at the base of thesequence, close to or at the bedrock contact. Also, euhedral pyrite is abundant in agabbro intruded portion of the argillite bedrock and in residual clay at the base of thesequence. Minor chalcopyrite also occurs in gabbroic rocks. Pyrite was common in thesluice box.

Clay films occur along widely spaced but distinct near vertical to oblique fractures thathave affected the sequence. In places the fractures are open and are up to 2 cm wide.They appear similar to the fractures in the Fraser Bend (Rouse and Mathews, 1979)clays observed elsewhere in the Cottonwood area.

AGE and ORIGIN

The sequence described here is believed to be of Pliocene or preglacial age, or at leastlate Tertiary as determined from a study of pollen, (palynomorphs) (Rouse et al, 1989).

The stony clays are here interpreted to be debris flows which were probably derivedfrom a nearby paleo highland underlain primarily by a deeply weathered orhydrothermally altered varicolored tuffs of Jurassic age. The strongest evidence fordebris flow origin is the occurrence of delicate twigs in one of the stony clays. Otherfeatures which support this view is the layered nature of the sequence, convolutestructures, contacts which are sharp in places and mixed in others, gentle slope to thenorth, texture of the deposit, and clast composition. Over 80% of the clasts arecomposed of soft felsic volcanics and pyroclastics which could not have withstood muchabrasion.

This material must have flowed into irregularities and bedrock depressions of theancestral Mary and Norton Creek valleys. It is possible that the flows either eroded pre-existing alluvial deposits in other gold-bearing channels at that time, for which there isno evidence, or/ that the flows were derived from in-situ accumulations of weatheredand hydrothermally altered bedrock that contained nugget gold. Presumably this goldbearing bedrock occurs nearby.

Alternatively, the gold may be of hydrothermal origin, deposited by fluids emanatingfrom a nearby dormant or near-dormant intrusive pipe. The presence of gabbro dikes inthe excavation and a stock along Alice Creek two kilometres to the west is supportingevidence for a possible hydrothermal source. However, it seems inconceivable that theflat elongated and smooth nuggets so common at the location and in Alice Creek areprimary gold deposits. On the other hand the near crystalline appearances of somenuggets suggest that they have not been not transported at all, or moved a very shortdistance at best. Perhaps there is a dual origin for the gold in this unusual deposit.

The abundance of a variety of felsic tuffaceous rocks, all substantially altered andangular to subangular, as the main clast component of the stony clays point to a nearbysource. Similar rocks have been found within one kilometer (.62 miles) to the south bydiamond drilling (Roed, 1988, 1992). Although some of the tuffs in the bedrock matchthe lithologic types in the stony clays, the pale red to mauve tuffs that are distinctive inthe stony clays still have no counterpart in the known bedrock of the area. Likewise, themauve diamicton clast lithology has not been observed in the area.

Property Surficial Sedimentary Geology (Continued)

The light gray clay layers are believed to represent one or more altered volcanic ashdeposits which periodically washed off of an adjacent slope and redeposited, whichcould explain the cobble sized angular clasts in these units. A sample of the claysubmitted to the University of Toronto, J. Westgate, failed to positively identify shards inthis altered material. The author did identify shards in one panned sample of the lightgray clay but this is inconclusive. (Rouses et. al.1989) identified shards in unitssampled.

The presence of angular pebble to cobble sized tuff clasts in the light gray clays is stillproblematic. One possibility is that there was an explosive vent nearby but nosupporting evidence has been observed'.

The presence of lignite, charcoal and wood fragments including delicate branches in thestony clays is strong support for a debris flow origin. The flows may have disrupted apre-existing lignite layer in, for example, remnants of the Fraser Bend Formation and orthe Australian Creek Formation, both of which occur within 5 kilometers (3.11 miles) tothe south and west and are known to contain coal. The debris flows could have pickedup existing vegetation growing or lying on the ground at the time, or both, which wouldexplain the charred wood samples. It would be logical to assume that there would becharcoal present representing forest fires at that time. One C14 date on the wood gavean age greater than 50,000 B.P.

Much of the argillite and gabbro bedrock is altered to a black sooty clay and clayeygabbro respectively, however resistant harder knobs occur. The weathered and softnature of the felsic tuffs and obvious oxidation of recovered diamond drill core samples(Roed, 1988) in the area suggests that considerable in situ erosion during a subtropicalclimate which is known to have affected the area during middle to late Tertiary time asdetermined by Rouse and Mathews (1979). This type of alteration could also be duepartly to a strong hydrothermal event which may have affected the locality.

SOURCE HIGHLAND FOR THE MARY CREEK DEBRIS FLOWS

Formulation of the paleogeography interpretation, leading up to the deposition of theMary Creek sequence in the Cottonwood area of British Columbia, had to consider along and complicated geologic history. The area was: 1) subject to allochthonousterrane emplacement (Quensellia Terrane) during the early Jurassic along the Eurekafault (Struick, 1986); 2) affected by Cretaceous intrusions (Rees .et, al, 1985) and theColumbian Orogeny; 3) subject to development of and deposition in broad-shallowcontinental basins in Oligocene time followed by folding during the Laramide Orogeny;4) affected by graben and horst tectonics in Miocene time along with clastic depositionin deep lakes in linear grabens (Rouse and Mathews, 1979); 5) subject to severalperiods of differential uplift during Pliocene to early Pleistocene time; 6) subjected to atleast two periods of Cordilleran ice movements, separated by an Interstadial period withextensive erosion (Clague et al. 1990); 7) and finally, modified by glaciofluvial erosionduring deglaciation of the last ice sheet and erosion during the Holocene.

The paleotopography is characterized by horst and graben structures formed near theend of the Oligocene. The largest graben is the Coldspring Graben that trendsnorthwest. It is bordered on the east by highlands of the Cariboo Mountains and on thewest is flanked by the Cottonwood Tertiary basin (Tipper, 1961). This is a major featureand likely continues to the south and joins with the Victoria Creek Tertiary basin.Sediments in this graben consist of over 200 meters (656 feet) of mudstone and alluvialsand and gravel of Miocene age (Roed, 1988) represented by the Fraser BendFormation (Rouse and Mathews, 1979).

Two horsts appear to have existed in the late Tertiary, flanking the Coldspring grabenon the east. One is an upland referred to as the Toopville Horst. It is largely underlain bybedded felsic tuffs of Jurassic age (Roed, 1993) in a core of an overturned syncline(Roed, 1988). From diamond drilling (Roed, 1988) and rare surface outcrops it is knownthat a portion of the tuffs are hydrothermally altered to a depth of at least 100 meters(328 feet). The northern part of the Toopville Horst is underlain in part by gabbro,referred to as the Toop Intrusive. The gabbro intrudes argillite of Triassic age (Tipper,1961) in the Toop pit.

The second horst is called the Alice Creek Horst composed of Jurassic to Triassicmetasediments, volcanics and pyroclastics. The horst is bounded on the east by avertical hinge type fault along Alice Creek, and on the west by the Coldspring Graben.

An indentation is shown along Norton Creek in the Toopville Horst. It appears that theMary Creek debris flows originated at the head of this indentation in an area underlainpredominantly by soft felsic tuffs. All of this terrain has been since eroded to a depth ofup to 100 meters (328 feet) below the present surface (Roed, 1988). It is inferred thatglacial ice caused the gouging out of this soft rock, and it is highly fortuitous that aremnant of the Mary Creek sequence escaped this erosion.

A significant pre-glacial placer gold deposit, discovered by Terry Toop and his son,Gary, is present overlying a portion of the Windy, Moran and Yank mineral claims, nearthe junction of Mary and Norton creeks. The majority of the placer workings have beenconfined to pits overlying the Moran 2 and 4 mineral claims. The placer deposit occursin a northwest trending "channel". Gold-bearing stony clay, silty ash and cementedgravel layers, 4.5 to 8 meters (14.8 to 26.2 feet) in total thickness, overlie weatheredbedrock, and are overlain by at least two separate glacial till layers. Gold nuggetsweighing up to 56 grams (1.80 troy ounce)have been recovered from this deposit.

The gold-bearing paleochannel gravel at Mary and Alice Creeks is stratigraphicallyoverlain by a thick succession of Pleistocene sediments. At Mary Creek the gravel atthe Toop Mine is overlain by two diamicton glacial till units, intertill sand and gravel andearly postglacial gravel also contain some gold, probably reconcentrated fromunderlying units. Glacial melt waters have incised a channel and removed at least 20meters 65.61 feet) of the overburden within the valley. In contrast, gold-bearing gravelat Alice Creek is overlain by about 30 meters (98.42 feet) of overburden. Diamicton tillunits are separated by intertill sand and gravel probably deposited by a glaclofluvialstream. Laterally extensive silt and clays are interpreted as glaciolacustrine sedimentsdeposited during a temporary retreat of ice from the region during the late Pleistocene(Leveson & Giles 1992).

The gravel pay zone on both Mary and Alice Creeks are very similar in appearance.Generally, it is composed of a compact, bright orange colored, poorly sorted gravelsequence with abundant graphitic-organic material and heavy limonitic-manganeseincrustations and inclusions. These are classified as "paleo" valley placer depositsconsisting of rounded and angular clasts of andesitic volcanics and metasediments localto the area. The coarse fraction (less than 5 percent) appears to range from 30.48 to45.72 centimeters (12 to 18 inches) in diameter. Well rounded quartz pebbles andcobbles are abundant throughout. Where examined on P.M.L. 7141, the bedrockconsists of highly fractured, rusty, and pyritic argillite.

The 1988 drill logs (Leary, Geo. M. 1988) indicate that the bedrock on Toop's formerlease (P.M.L. 7252) is this same argillite member although in places it appears moregraphitic than pyritic. On site inspection during excavation and processing indicates richgold values have penetrated the upper bedrock sequence, requiring that at least 1.22meters (4 feet) of bedrock be excavated when mining.

The gold from Mary Creek has a majority of hackly, spongy irregularly surfaced coarsenuggets with the balance being elongated, well rounded and polished. The Alice Creekgold recovery percentage of nuggets is the opposite with the majority being very smoothand well rounded. The opinion is that the bulk of the Mary Creek gold is locally derivedand appears to be directly associated with quartz. Generally, 65 percent of the Toopgold recovered from the Paleo channel exhibited this rough, spongy nature with quartzcrystal adhering to the odd nugget.

Two separate gold bearing gravel horizons within the overlying glacial sequence ofgravel and till are distinctive at the Toop Mine on Mary Creek and on the Alice Creeklocation. On Mary Creek a gold bearing grey gravel sequence appears approximately3.05 to 4.57 meters (10 to 15 feet) above the paleo pre-glacial channel. This zonediffers from the till section in that it contains abundant clay and poorly sorted angularclasts. According to T. Toop, wherever it is encountered it contains mineable goldvalues. On the Alice Creek section there is the aforementioned grey gravel and verydistinctive bright orange gravel similar to the paleo deposit.

The bulk of the Toop production to date has come from the basal paleo channel onbedrock with thicknesses of1.52 to 7.62 meters (5 to 25 feet) thick pay channel 53.34 to76.20 meters (175 to 250 feet) wide and extending for at least 487.68 meters (1,600feet) along the length of Mary and Norton Creeks within P.M.L. 7141. Approximately,186.62 kilograms (6000 troy ounces) of gold are reported to have been produced, fromapproximately 30,600 cubic meters (40,000 cubic yards) of gold bearing materialprocessed through the wash plant. This production has largely been mined from a zoneaveraging 3.05 meters (10 feet) thick at the base of the pay sequence and includes upto 1.22 meters (4 feet) of the fractured and broken bedrock..

The Toop properties provide an excellent example of the mining potential of deeplyburied preglacial fluvial placers. The cost of removing large volumes of overburden isoffset by the potential richness of the deep paleo gravel. In deposits of this type,detailed sedimentological and stratigraphic data will help identify the extent and volumeof the gold-bearing strata, as well as the thickness of over-lying non-auriferoussediments. (Levson & Giles 92', Wallis 89)

This deposit occurs beneath two tills (Levson et al, 1990) and overlies weathered blackshale, siltstone, argillite of Triassic age (Tipper, 1961) and gabbro dikes at an elevationof approximately 940 m (3100 feet). The contact with the bedrock is very irregular.Bedrock topography may have a local relief of plus or minus 10 meters (32.8 feet) withina distance of 100 meters (328.08 feet).

The basal unit varies from a discontinuous and lens like layer of angular gravelcomposed mainly of local bedrock fragments, to blue clay with residual gabbrofragments and abundant pyrite cubes which are commonly less that 0.1 meter (0.33 feetthick.). The gold bearing gravel commonly infills fractures in the bedrock, in theCottonwood area. These are overlain by a soft light to medium orange brown lowerstony clay 1 to 1.5 meters (3.38 to 4.92 feet) thick with clasts composed of local bedrockand numerous sharply angular tuff and lithic pebbles up to 10 cm (3.9 inches) indiameter. The basal gravel and residual blue clay are not everywhere present;therefore, the basal unit of stony brown clay envelopes bedrock irregularities andoverlies bedrock directly in places.

The lower stony clay is overlain by a white to light gray clay up to 0.5 meter (1.64 feet)thick. A sample of this clay was examined in detail. It is very light gray in color,composed of loosely packed clay of illite composition. Up to 10% of the materialconsists of floating angular particles of a variety of soft rock types including dark greyargillite and tuff rock fragments, soft black graphite specks in hand sample, quartzshards up to 60 microns size, plates of muscovite very thin flakes, soft orange tuff,silvery white mica, and white to light gray quartz chunks. Angular clasts of altered palered fine grained tuff and a mauve variety up to 10 cm (3.94 inches) in size, occursporadically in this unit and are distinctive but do not outcrop in this area. Contacts aregradational indicating some mixing due to compaction or post depositional hydroclasticmovement. Convolute bedding was observed at the contact.

The lower light gray clay is overlain by stony clay 1 to 2 meters (3.28 to 6.56 feet) thicksimilar to the lower stony clay. Then another light gray clay layer up to .5 meters ( 1.64feet) thick occurs which in turn is overlain by another stony clay 1 to 2 meters (3.28 to6.56 feet) thick. A third lens of light gray clay was observed at the south end of the mainpit.

The upper stony clay is overlain by up to 1 meter (3.28 feet) of partly cemented pebblegravel that is strongly stained with black manganese and is a deep rusty red to brown incolor. This gravel appears to have been leached and gossanized. Cement is siliceous,limonite rich and manganese stained. Pebbles in this unit are subrounded tosubangular, indistinctly bedded and are composed of a broad range of lithologies, and isa fluvial deposit.

The cemented gravel is overlain in much of the pit area by a glacial sequence. Thissequence consists of a brown dense clayey till (lower till), a thin layer of manganesestained gravel, possibly of interglacial age (Clague et al. 1990), and a grey brown till(upper till). The diamicton sequence slopes very gently at a gradient of one percent tothe north. Angular gravel occurs in the same stratigraphic position approximately 10meters (32.81 feet) lower at an operating placer mine adjacent to Alice Creek 1.5kilometers (0.93 miles) to the north. The deposit here is a poorly sorted dense pebble tocobble gravel with a variety of angular clasts, and it is less than 2 meters (6.56 feet)thick, although reported up to 5 meters (16.40 feet) thick by Levson et al (1990).

At the Toop Mine site the sequence thickens from 3 to 5 meters (9.80 to 16.40 feet)towards the southwest. At the south end of the Toop pit the cemented gravel unit isoverlain by a light gray to mauve diamicton which is 4 meters (13.12 feet) thick andprobably another debris flow or talus deposit with cobble to boulder sized clasts. Thisunit is also distinctive in that it consists almost entirely of light colored altered felsic tuffclasts and clay matrix and lacks bedding. It appears to be a wedge shaped deposit withclast orientation predominantly in an easterly to northeasterly direction. This suggeststhat its source is immediately to the west. The mauve unit is overlain by till and otherglacial deposits over 20 meters (65.62 feet) thick. It is speculated that the entirediamicton sequence at the Mary Creek locality pinches out to the west beneath the till,and to the south and east the sequence has been apparently truncated by glacial and /or Holocene erosion. In places the light gray layers are strikingly distinct but in otherparts of the exposure, the clays are barely discernable and appear to be somewhatmixed with underlying or overlying units. A similar sequence of materials has neverbeen described in British Columbia.

10.1 Surficial Sedimentary Placer Deposits

Surficial Sedimentary placer deposits on the Rogers Gold Property have been located inthe top 1.22 meters (4 feet) of fractured black argillites bedrock that has collected placergold, the basal gold bearing preglacial Tertiary gravels and the overlying upperreconcentrated interglacial gravels along Mary and Alice Creeks and finally the goldbearing upper and lower stony clay mud flows, all of which follow a large northwestbedrock paleo channel. There has also been some testing on a high run placer channelwith much brighter gold located running westerly across the top of the Toop Pit area.The multiple gold bearing channels on this property point to a very complex history thatwill require a thorough exploration program to understand so that a very efficient miningplan can be prepared.

10.2 Potential Bedrock Deposit Types

The primary hard-rock exploration targets that should be pursued on the Rogers GoldProperty are of three main types: 1) semi-conformable, Stratabound gold mineralizationhosted in permeable Upper Triassic volcaniclastic rocks and black argillites which formthe base of the Quesnel Trough sequence, for e.g. Frasergold deposit and Jamboreeshowing; 2) gold vein deposits in Upper Triassic black argillites for e.g. SpanishMountain; and 3) porphyry gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits associated with, andperipheral to, alkalic stocks intruding Triassic-Jurassic volcanics and sedimentary rocks,for e.g. QR and Cariboo-Bell deposits.

A thorough geological, geophysical, geochemical and diamond drilling program will bedesigned to search for multi-element potential targets in the bedrock.

11.0 MINERALIZATION

11.1 Surficial Sedimentary Mineralization

In the Cariboo mining district, many of the gold bearing paleochannels, as well ascurrent rivers and creeks are incised along predominant regional fault directions andshow clear evidence of tertiary and manganese cemented gravels overlain by glacialtills and interglacial sediments. Bedrock in the valleys show local glacial grooves andpolish, indicating that the gravels of many gold placers have been reworked by glaciersmany times and the glacial ice was channeled in various directions by transversevalleys, but regionally it flowed westward to join northward flows towards PrinceGeorge. Gold nuggets from the Cariboo area show a great diversity in size, shape andcharacter. Generally it is concluded, that the size, shape and character are the result ofthe conditions and distances travelled from their source. A fraction of the gold nuggetsfrom Alice and Mary Creeks are well worn, flat and elongated, but there is also nuggetgold from a distinctly more local source, that is typically hackly, spongy, irregularlysurfaced and occasionally with quartz inclusions.

Given the abundance of nuggets in the Mary Creek sequence, the postulated origins ofthe deposit as mudflows from a nearby volcanic source, and the drilling of eightexploratory holes in the area of the “source”, indications of economic gold deposits inthe felsic tuffs, presumed to be the logical source, are inconclusive. The best indicationswere derived from a diamond drill hole (D.M., Roed, 1988) located 600 meters (1,968.48 feet) south of the southern edge of the Toop pit. Particulate gold was recovered fromover 58 meters (190.29 feet) of HQ core in highly altered varicolored tuff, but weightedassays resulted in less than 1.02 grams gold per tonne (0.03 troy ounce gold per ton)average. Some two meter sections in other nearby holes were also about this high.

The Rogers Gold Man Property contains a significant volume of mineable placer goldgravels in a stacked preglacial an interglacial deposit that has been tested in the pastwith standard geological methods and has been high graded and brought to productionby open pit and underground methods numerous times from 1969 to 1990.

The gravel pay zone on both Mary and Alice Creeks are very similar in appearance.Generally, it is composed of a compact, bright orange colored, poorly sorted gravelsequence with abundant graphitic-organic material and heavy limonitic-manganeseincrustations and inclusions. These are classified as "paleo" valley placer depositsconsisting of rounded and angular clasts of andesitic volcanics and metasediments localto the area. The coarse fraction (less than 5 percent) appears to range from 4.72 to7.09 centimeters (12 to 18 inches) in diameter, well rounded quartz pebbles andcobbles are abundant throughout.

11.2 Bedrock Mineralization

The Mary and Norton Creek area is predominantly underlain by Upper Triassic blackargillites, siltstones and rare, fine-grained sandstone layers (Map Unit Utr) which formthe base of the Takla Group. These strata are east-west to southeast-northwest strikingand generally dip moderately shallow to the north. East-west striking, moderatelysteeply north-dipping faults were noted in a number of locations. The sedimentary rockslocally contain disseminated sulphide mineralization; with pyrite being the main sulphidemineral present. Pyrite is also commonly disseminated along fractures and associatedwith quartz stringer veins, both within the quartz veins and concentrated adjacent to theveins. Locally, altered mafic dykes, probably of original gabbroic composition, cut theargillites. The strata in the Mary and Norton Creek area have only been slightlymetamorphosed, attaining sub to lower greenschist facies.

Two outcrops, approximately 600 meters (1,968.48 feet) south of the Toop Placer pituncovered a sequence of steeply dipping, light brown, banded, kaolinized tuffslithologically similar to some of the clasts in the grey stony gravels in the Toop Placerpit, these outcrops revealed a stratigraphic thickness of at least 150 meters (492.12feet). One of the outcrops is laced with white to light grey quartz and vuggy quartz veinsthat assayed 600 ppb gold. The tuff samples assayed very high at 1950 ppb gold.

The Rogers Gold property bedrock exhibits many quartz veins with associated pyrite inmetasediments, metavolcanics, with polymetallic samples found on site of lead, zinc,copper, silver, gold and platinum, and major geological structures on site with tertiaryfelsic volcanic centers locally. All of the geological signs are here for locating valuablebedrock ore potential on or close to the Rogers Gold Property. No comprehensiveexploration program has ever been done on this property and the geophysical,geochemical and minor diamond drilling was never followed up.

This NI 43-101 Technical Report is a thorough historical review of the exploration andproduction programs completed during the period from 1969 to 1990 on the placer andbedrock mineral deposits of the Toop and surrounding properties. Section 8.0, Historyof Exploration and Mining; Section 9.0, Geological Setting; Section 10.0, Deposit Typeand Section 11.0 Mineralization cover all previous mining activity on this site. Noexploration or production has occurred on this site since 1990.

Exploration and production, during the period from 1969 to 1990, was carried out on theToop and surrounding properties, but because it was done by a number of smallercompanies exploring and mining small areas, the detailed technical data which includesgeological, geophysical, geochemical and drilling has not been put into a large overalldatabase and therefore, much of it has not survived. Rogers Gold Corp. is planning tocomplete a large overall technical program to evaluate this property and to develop theproper database to start a solid mining venture.

This NI 43-101 Technical Report is a thorough historical review of the exploration andproduction programs completed during the period from 1969 to 1990 on the placer andbedrock mineral deposits of the Toop and surrounding properties. Section 8.0, Historyof Exploration and Mining; Section 9.0, Geological Setting; Section 10.0, Deposit Typeand Section 11.0 Mineralization cover all previous mining activity on this site. No drillinghas occurred on this site since 1990. The proposed drilling program planned for 2010and 2011 by Rogers Gold Corporation is briefly outlined in Section 12.0 Exploration andwill be planned in detail once geophysical surveys are completed. All proposed drillingwill be sampled and the assaying (Gravity Recovery) methods will be documented to NI43-101 standards.

Summary of Historic Drilling

1978 J. Sefel & Associates completed 33 drill holes along 487.68 meters (1600 feet) ofMary Creek on PML 7141. No driller’s logs or summary geology reports are available.

1988 Mary Creek Resources Corp. which became Pundata Gold Corp. drilled 18diamond drill holes on the bedrock claims MC-1 and MC-2. No Drill Logs are available.

1988 Mask Creek Resources Corp. drilled a cable tool hole south of Coldspring Lake onbedrock claim MC-1 to locate the Coldspring Volcanic Center. 1988 this company drilled4 reverse circulation holes along the Toop paleo channel on PML 7141. No Drill Logsare available.

1988 Cumorah Exploration Ltd. drilled 35 large diameter 0.91 to 1.22 meters (3 to 4feet) Caisson Drill Holes (auger) to a depth of 30.48 meters (100 feet) to outline thepaleochannel along Alice Creek on PML 7252. Pictorial Logs of these drill holes areincluded in the Appendix of this report.

1990 Farrow Mineral Development Corp. drilled four caisson holes to locate thenorthern limits of the paleochannel on PML 7141. No drill logs are available other thanthe depth to bedrock.

Little or no standard geology practices for sampling of the drill holes or processing of thesamples are recorded for the above drill programs; however, the placer drilling andevaluation led to successful bulk sampling or production; therefore, the testing by theresponsible geologists must have been done to acceptable standards for that timeperiod.

15.0 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS AND SECURITY

This NI 43-101 Technical Report is focused on a thorough historical review of theexploration and production programs completed during the period from 1969 to 1990,on Rogers Gold Corporation Man Property, placer and bedrock mineral deposits. Therehas been no exploration or production activity on this property since 1990, and thereforeno current sample preparation, analysis or security issues to report.

Very little detail exists in the historical reports about the sampling methods, sampleanalysis, sample security, or type of equipment used in gold recovery, or gold losses.

All bedrock sampling will be done using acceptable methods and equipment to insureverifiable assays with all necessary checks and standards. All assays will be done atcredible assaying laboratory, using standard industry acceptable security.

16.0 DATA VERIFICATION

This author has attempted to read all of the historical engineering and geology reportsfrom periods 1969 to 1990, when the Rogers Gold Corporation Man Property wasactively explored and tested. Each of the historic reports documenting explorationprograms are Summary Reports with general observations, conclusions andrecommendations but no specific geological, geochemical, geophysical, drilling detailsor raw data.

Each of the previous geologists and engineers responsible for testing programs on thisproperty appear to have operated in good faith with the best methods available. Most ofthe detailed field data appears to have been lost or is not available.

Rogers Gold Corporation has planned a thorough placer and hardrock propertyevaluation, to be done to modern NI 43-101 technical and reporting standards in 2010and 2011; all of the technical field data will be verifiable and reported in standard miningformats of surveying, assaying and geology using Databases, Plans, Cross Sectionsand Long Sections for both placer and hardrock to document all exploration and testingactivity.

17.0 ADJACENT PROPERTIES

The Rogers Gold Man Property, which lies within the Quesnel Trough, is a linear belt ofearly Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks lying along the western margin of theOmineca Crystalline Belt.

During the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Columbian Orogeny, the oceanic rocks ofthe Quesnel Trough were pushed onto the continent and somewhat deformed andmetamorphosed. If the late Cretaceous, granitic bodies locally intruded rocks of theQuesnel Trough, Tertiary extension resulted in block faulting, which is the dominantstructural style throughout most of the belt.

The sedimentary rocks locally contain disseminated sulphide mineralization; with pyritebeing the main sulphide mineral present. Pyrite is also commonly disseminated alongfractures and associated with quartz stringer veins, both within the quartz veins andconcentrated adjacent to the veins.

The distribution of placer deposits in the Quesnel Terrane is largely controlled by thegeography of regional river systems of Tertiary age and locally by the occurrence ofauriferous quartz veins in Triassic phyllites and argillites. Lode Gold was reported in theQuesnel Trough as early as 1902, when placer miners drifted on mineralized quartzveins in the argillites such as at Wingdam on Lightning creek south east of Rogers GoldProperty. Exploration in the trough has revealed a number of promising deposits, someof which are outlined as follows: Cariboo Bell, The Dome OR Deposit and the PundataProperties just south of Toopville.

Exploration in 1988 by Pundata Resources (formerly Mary Creek Resources) on theirproperty which is immediately south of Toopville, has led to the discovery of a new goldoccurrence. Assay results of up to 48.33 grams gold per tonne (1.41 troy ounces perton) across a three meter (9.84 feet) width have been reported. Previous to this asequence of steeply dipping light brown banded kaolinized tuffs, similar to the stonyclays in the Toop pit, was discovered 600 meters (1,968.48 feet) south of Toop's pit,which revealed a projected stratigraphic thickness of at least 150 meters (492.12 feet)of banded, soft, kaolinized tuff. One of the outcrops is laced with white to light grayquartz and vuggy quartz veins that assayed 600 ppb gold. The tuff assayed 1950 ppbgold.

The theory was that volcanic rocks at the locality indicated the presence of a volcaniccenter that had previously escaped detection. This center is informally referred to asthe Coldspring Volcanic Center.

The Rogers Gold Man Property, which lies in a linear belt of early Mesozoic volcanicand sedimentary rocks lying along the western margin of the Omineca Crystalline Belt,has been historically more studied for the gold copper porphyry hardrock association.The fact that this unique rich Toop placer property became a focus locally forexploration, then little exploration was done on the bedrock precious metal potential.Float samples of lead, zinc, silver, copper, platinum and gold have been found on theRogers Gold Man Property. The exploration potential is very high on the Man Propertyand surrounding properties to establish minable targets. There have been nocoordinated multi-discipline exploration programs on the Man Property or adjacentproperties known to the author since 1990.

18.0 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

This NI 43-101 Technical Report is focused on a thorough historical review of theexploration and production programs completed during the period from 1969 to 1990,on Rogers Gold Corporation Man Property, placer and bedrock mineral deposits. Therehas been no exploration or production activity on this property since 1990, and thereforethere are no current mineral processing and metallurgical testing issues to report.

19.0 MINERAL RESOURCE AND MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATES

The Rogers Gold Man Property is a unique, high grade, stacked, pre-glacial tointerglacial deposit. It is the only known deposit of this type in the Caribou District. In1988 drilling (although not conclusive) combined with limited production statistics,indicates that an inferred resource for the Mary and Alice Creek paleo channel would beapproximately 382,500 cubic meters (500,000 cubic yards) at a grade of 14.09 gramsgold /cu. meter (0.38 troy ounces gold / cubic yard). Total inferred gold resource is5,385,578 grams (190,000 troy ounces).

1988 drill results indicate that approximately 20 percent of the gold in the higher gradesections is smaller than 100 mesh. Virtually none of this gold is being recovered in T.Toop's operation on P.M.L. 7141 or on B. Patrick's operation adjoining P.M.L. 7252. Aproperly designed and properly sized gold recovery system could significantly increaserecoveries in both of these operations (from $3 to $9/yd3 @ $350 Cdn. gold value).

To date, the Toop nugget mine has been essentially a high grade low volume operationcontained mainly within the melt water valley of Norton and Mary Creeks. The richestpay zones have been derived from the paleo channel excavating up to 1.22 meters (4feet) of weathered, decomposed bedrock. The inter-glacial pay zone averaged 0.91 to2.13 meters (3 to 7 feet) thick at various elevations 10.67 to 13.72 meters (35 to 45 feet)depth along the outer rim of the valley walls with values ranging from $8.00 to $35.00per cubic yard @ $350 Cdn./ troy ounce, reported. Generally, the configuration of thebest pay zones varied with the profile and direction of the bedrock as well as the rimrock. The paleo channel trends northerly with possibly several forks. It is readilyapparent that significant redeposition occurred during the formation of the paleochannel, as a result of glacial scouring and melt water action has resulted in a mixtureof a bright orange, partly cemented gravel deposited on bedrock as well as clay (mudflow) stratums which were pinched and swollen sporadically throughout the exposedchannel. A relatively secure grade average of14.09 gm / cu. meter (0.38 ounces percubic yard) can be expected as previous production and exploration of the paleochannel has confirmed. The extremely weathered nature of the bedrock hostsnumerous pockets of subsidence, as well as fractures within and perpendicular to thechannel direction, creating high grade nugget traps. These hot spots have beenconsistent during the previous mining activities conducted by Toop, and can beexpected in future developments. Grades of up to 8 ounces per cubic yard have beenreported. A purity of 885 for Alice and Mary Creeks used to calculate troy ounces. Acompaction value for bank cubic yards to loose cubic yards of 20% is used forcalculations.

20.0 OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INFORMATION

The Rogers Gold Man Property has never had a complete placer and hardrockevaluation done and reported to current NI 43-101 standards. Each of the numerousprevious mining companies has focused on the small Mary and Alice Creek high gradepaleo channel placer areas that could be easily located and only minor exploration wascompleted on the bedrock, which to the author seems to have the most long termpotential.

There is no additional data or information that the author can supply here that wouldadd any additional clarification.

NI 43-101 Page 57 of 65 Rogers Gold Man Project

21.0 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

The Rogers Gold Corp. Man Property consists of 3 Placer Leases and 4 Placer Claimstotaling 343.89 hectares (849.75 acres) on top of 14 Mineral Claims totaling 835.67hectares (2064.94 acres).

Rogers Gold Corp. have an excellent opportunity for the development of the ManProject on the historic Toop Mining Properties, utilizing modern standard geological andengineering procedures to thoroughly test and evaluate both the surficial placer goldand the bedrock lode gold production potential.

The majority of the placer gold recovered is probably derived from a relatively nearbybedrock source. Therefore, there is a rare opportunity to explore and develop thehardrock prospects using the profits realized from a continuous placer productionoperation.

Since Toop's discovery of the unique placer deposit on Mary Creek; most exploration inthe area has been directed at locating additional reserves in extensions of the paleochannel. To-date, these efforts have been unsuccessful. Since that time, variousgeologists from both industry and the Geological Survey have reported on the geologyof the area in an effort to understand the deposit. These studies have provided valuableinformation and direction for locating the possible source of the both the smoothcrystalline nuggets and the coarse, rough nuggets which exhibit little travel from theirsource. Exploration since then has been mostly directed towards locating the extensionof Toop's paleo channel with little exploration effort expended on locating a bedrocksource for the coarse, rough gold.

Until the early 1980's, the abundance and color varieties of the volcanic clasts in theToop deposit posed a problem in geological interpretation because similar in-situ rocktypes had not been identified in the area. Early in the 1984 season, Roed exposed asequence of steeply dipping banded tuffs 600 meters (1,968.48 feet) south of the Tooppit. Two more outcrops of similar tuffs were uncovered in subsequent work whichsuggests a projected stratigraphic thickness of at least 150 meters (492.12 feet) of softkaolinized tuff. These rocks are lithologically similar to some of the volcanic clasts in thepit. One of these outcrops exhibits numerous white to light grey quartz and vuggy quartzveins that reportedly assayed 600 ppb gold with the tuff assaying 1950 ppb gold. Thesevolcanic rocks indicate the presence of a nearby volcanic center that was not previouslyrecognized; this center has been informally identified as the Coldspring Volcanic Center.

Page 58: Rogers Gold Man Placer / Mineral Project NI 43-101

NI 43-101 Page 58 of 65 Rogers Gold Man Project

INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS (CONTINUED)

The identification of the Coldspring Volcanic Center has provided possible answersabout the origin of the placer gold in the Toop pit. The smooth well worn nuggets wereprobably transported by mud flows that were derived from this volcanic center and therough, less traveled gold sourced from nearby auriferous volcanic rocks. Unfortunately,these volcanic rocks are now mostly masked by a series of glacial tills, fluvial depositsand glaciofluvial deposits that exceed 30 meters (98.42 feet) in thickness.

Based on the presence of abundant disseminated pyrite and pyritiferous quartz veins onthe bedrock mineral claims, the lack of previous systematic exploration on the property,and exploration activity in surrounding areas, a detailed geological mapping, andgeochemical, geophysical and drilling exploration program is recommended. The claimsshould be explored for syngenetic and/or vein type mineralization similar to thatencountered on the Spanish Lake and Frasergold properties.

22.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

The author, in collaboration with the staff of Rogers Gold Corporation, proposes thefollowing exploration and testing program for the Man Property during 2010 and 2011.

Phase I Develop Standard Mine Plans and Sections with all historical property data.Establish a control property grid.Establish standard sampling procedures and sample processing procedures.Bedrock -prospecting, mapping and sampling to locate diamond drill holes.Placer -prospecting, seismic surveys to locate reverse circulation drill holes.

Phase II Bedrock -geophysical surveys (Mag, VLF-EM, I. P.) geochemical surveys.

Placer -reverse circulation drill holes, sampling with test pits.

-additional detailed seismic

Phase III Bedrock -diamond drilling best geophysical and geochemical targets.

Placer -reverse circulation drill holes, bulk sampling and production.

Rock samples should be analyzed for a number of elements, in particular As, Sb, Cu,Mo, Mg, Fe, Co, silver and gold, in order to detect any anomalous concentrations.

Geophysical surveys, initially MAG and VLF-EM, will be performed over the area. TheMAG survey will hopefully aid in delineation of stratigraphy and faults. The VLF-EMsurvey will attempt to locate any massive sulphide conducting layers. An IP survey isrecommended to aide in identification of disseminated sulphide mineralization andgraphitic horizons.

Trenching and prospecting is recommended to expose additional areas of bedrockwhere cover is known to be thin, and as a preliminary follow-up investigation of anygeophysical anomalies.

Once the general pattern of the Paleo channel has been established for length andwidth one line of tight pattern drill holes across the channel will provide sufficientinformation for a production decision.

Because the bulk of the postulated Paleo channel is covered by a thick mantle of glacialgravels, tills, sand and sediments, all placer drill holes should be continued at least 15feet into bedrock to assist mapping of the bedrock geology.

25.0 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TECHNICAL REPORTS ONDEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROPERTIES

Currently, the Rogers Gold Man Property is not considered as a development propertyat the production stage and a complete placer and exploration program is planned byRogers Gold Corp. for the 2010 and 2011 season to fully evaluate the precious metalpotential of this property.
