INTRODUCTION

The property contains an amethyst mine nearby to Big Pearl Lake within the prolific amethyst belt of the north half of McTavish Township in Northern Ontario. It contains a good-grade deposit of amethyst in a vein up to 6 feet wide (2 m) which is ready to mine.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The property is located within McTavish Township, claim map G-175, latitude 48 0 40' 45", longitude 88 0 40' 37". It is approximately 30 miles (50 km) east of the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The property is located 0.6 miles (l km) north of Highway 11-17 via No. 5 Road North at Pearl, Ontario. Access to the property is provided by an all-weather gravel road, the Diamond Willow Mine/Blue Points Mine road, which connects five amethyst mines with Highway 11-17, for 0.6 miles (1.0 km). Then, one proceeds on a narrow bush road, controlled by the property for 800 feet (250 m) to the mine-site.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The property consists of four unpatented mining claims within Lot 5, Concession IV, inMcTavish Township, Thunder Bay Mining Division, and contains approximately 16 hectares(200 acres). The original amethyst occurrence was staked in 1985, and requires S400 assessmentwork per unit per year to remain in good standing. No other taxes are applicable. The legaldescriptions and assessment work due are listed below:TB.830425 40 acres assessment S200 due February 8, 2005TB. 1165209 40 acres assessment S400 due October 15, 2003TB.1238077 40 acres assessment S400 due August 21, 2002TB. 1238078 80 acres assessment S800 due August 6, 2001

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

The area was first prospected for silver in the late 1800's. A lead-zinc-silver prospect, the Detroit-Algoma Mine, was discovered in 1871 about 400 m on strike to the northeast of the property. Mineralization there consists of galena and sphalerite in amethystine quartz veins. A shaft was sunk and mill installed in 1910 where development ceased in 1914. That deposit is presently being mined for amethyst on surface by Mr. Clark Noyes. A staking rush for uranium occurred in the area in 1977 upon release of a Federal-Provincial reconnaissance geochemistry survey. Most of the north half of McTavish Township was staked by Saarberg Interplan Corp. and subsequently came open in 1983. Since that time interest in the area has been mainly for amethyst. Four active and two idle amethyst mines are located in this area accessed by the same road system.

The main vein on the property is located to the southwest of the outflow of Big Pearl Lake and was first uncovered in the late 1800's during the Silver Rush. The vein was also explored for lead-zinc in the 1920's. The property has remained idle since then and was staked in 1985 which was acquired by the author in 1986.

GENERAL GEOLOGY

Tanton (1931) published Map 214A and described the veins and prospects in the area which experienced a minor exploration resurgence at that time. The township was most recently mapped by Mcilwaine (1971) at a scale of l inch to 1/4 mile. It was released as an uncoloured preliminary map. Mcilwaine mapped Archean-aged basement rocks of migmatitic metasediments and four phases of granitoids. These basement rocks are unconformably overlain by Sibley Group sedimentary rocks consisting of near flat-lying conglomerates, sandstones and limestones. These were deposited in a shallow sea in Proterozoic times. All of the rocks were then intruded by dikes and sheets of diabase.

The north half of McTavish Township contains numerous normal faults derived from basinal downwarping of the Sibley sedimentary rocks. Thus, the faults often define granite/sedimentary rock contacts and strike at 060 to 090. The faults are variably occupied by amethystine quartz veins containing minor amounts of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The exposed unconformity between the granites and the Sibley sediments in this area is the reason it is an amethyst district.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The dominant rock type within the property is coarse-grained to medium-grained granite containing l to 207o black biotite, 2 to 407o clear quartz phenocrysts and 9407o red and white feldspars. There is a set of tight, widely spaced joints, relatively vertical, at 0300 and 1400 respectively. The granite also contains a minor amout of migmatized biotitic metasediments and are Archean in age. A minor amount of red Sibley sandstone is found along the low ground north of the hydro line and consists of flat-lying remnants on the granite.

Tanton (1930) conducted a visit of the property, staked then as claim 6084 when interest was for lead-zinc-silver. The new mineralization, shown on Tanton's Map 214A, is described on p. 166:

"Veins occur on mining claim 6084, which lies at the southwest end of Pike Lake [now Big Pearl Lake] between 1A and Vi mile northwest of Pearl Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway. The claim was staked in 1927 by Mr. W.G. Davis of Fort William. The veins have been exposed by pits and trenches as follows. In the southwest corner of the claim a composite vein up to 6 feet wide, and striking north 40 degrees east, has been exposed by trenching for a distance of 450 feet. In a direction north 30 degrees east and 900 feet from the southwest corner of the claim, a trench 12 feet long exposes a vein 2 feet wide dipping 60 degrees north and striking north 87 degrees east. Two hundred feet north 70 degrees east from the last mentioned trench, a shallow test pit exposes a composite vein 4 feet wide

striking north 70 degrees east and dipping vertically; 450 feet easterly along this vein a trench exposes a length of 8 feet. Thirty feet south of the last mentioned trench a stripping partly exposes a vein 2 feet wide. It is possible that the various veins lie in two fracture systems.

The veins occur in shattered fault zones in granite containing inclusions of chlorite schist. Chlorite schist on the northwest side of the first of the above mentioned composite veins is impregnated with hematite for a width of at least 2 feet. At this locality the composite vein consists of a single vein of quartz 2 Vi feet wide bordered by a network of branching and interlacing veinlets.

The vein material of the various exposures consists chiefly of white and rust coloured quartz and amethyst with later veinlets of barite. The veins are locally well mineralized with galena and pyrite, the richest showin being in the 12-foot trench (the second, above mentioned) where half of the 2-foot vein consists of vein material of which between 5 and 10 percent, by volume, is galena. Mr. Jos. H. Johnson reports that low gold values were found by assay in samples taken from the vein in the southwest corner of the property. Mr. James Lawrence states that in the spring of 1927 he located the continuation of the first described vein near the eastern shore of Pike Lake [now Big Pearl Lake] 50 feet east of the outlet and exposed the vein by stripping 10 feet in length. The vein occurs in granite and is said to be 5 feet or more in width. Mr. Lawrence states that the vein carries galena and pyrite.

MINERALIZATION

The mineralization was mapped into a local grid by 100 metre tape and Silva compass for base line control.

A fault is located within the granite which contains an amethystine quartz vein and veinlet zone, parallel to the hydro field and trends north-east to Big Pearl Lake. Three trenches exist on roughly on strike to eachother within the same vein system and also contain high-grade amethyst. The amethyst is found in vugs as small to large sized crystals in colours ranging from white to red to purple to black. Some of the vein material contains coarse grained crystals of galena up to 15 07o by volume. Abundant fine-grained massive pyrite is found adjacent to the vein for part of its strike length. In addition, coarse-grained disseminated galena is found in small quantities in the quartz in the East Trench. The gold and silver content in these sulphides are not yet evaluated. One grab of semi-massive pyrite was sampled in the early 1990's by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines which returned anomalous silver.

Amethystine float was found beside a large granite outcrop at the outflow of Big Pearl Lake along the Hydro field. This is the continuation of the main amethyst vein towards the north-east corner of claim TB.830425 and was described in Tanton (1930) as a 5 foot wide quartz vein.

STRIPPING and TRENCHING

Approximately 1000 feet (300 m) of ground along the strike length of the vein was stripped off in the spring of 2001 with a tracked excavator and exposed about 300 feet (100 m) of the vein. The access road from the Diamond Willow Mine Road was also cleared out. The stripped areas were mapped and evaluated for amethyst. Some very large specimens were pulled out by the backhoe at the Main Pit which demonstrates the quality of the amethyst present.

Parts of the vein were drilled with a rock drill and l to 2 feet of the surface rock was removed by blasting. This exposed fresh vein which was not rusty in order to better evaluate the amethyst.

ORE RESERVES

Good quality ore reserves occur between the Main Pit eastward to the East Pit. Part of this area is not in reserves where the overburden is more than 10' (3 m) thick. Therefore, these reserves are contained in a block totalling 700' long (213 m) by an average of 3.0' wide (1.0 m). Surface mining here to a depth of 10' (3.0 m) would excavate 1,235 tons of rock (using 17 cu. ft. per ton) of which one third is estimated to be amethystine vein ore. The amethyst in the region is known to continue for hundred's of feet in depth.

At SO.50 per pound for 412 tons of ore (at one-third of the extraction) would equate to over S400,000 in situ value. After subtracting mining costs and the time value of money, the net present value of the ore would be approximately 570,000. Mining costs are approximately SO. 13 per pound or S260 per ton and the reserves are calculated to be mined out at 20 tons per year for 20 years for the net present value of the ore. All values are in Canadian dollars. Further reserves would undoubtedly be uncovered with more stripping after this mining was completed.

MARKETING

Market studies have been conducted for Thunder Bay area amethyst and are readily available. This site would be perfect to develop as a Theme Park because of its natural beauty, adjacent lake and proximity to the Trans-Canada Highway. There is no waterfront development on Big Pearl Lake and is a pristine site. A Website complete with a virtual tour and mail order catalogue is also recommended to accelerate visits and sales. The location and configuration of the Main Pit makes it ideal to drive an adit (tunnel) into the amethyst vein as a tourist attraction.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The vein system that hosts the amethyst is strong and continues past the mined areas. The west boundary pit contains low grade amethyst along it's south contact. The Main Pit contains high- grade amethyst and can be mined immediately, eastward towards the East Pit. Good quality amethyst is seen in the veins in these areas and is expected to continue in between as well. A sump is located halfway between the two where overburden is 10 feet (3 m) deep. This can be

used for cleaning off the outcrops with a high-pressure Wajax pump. The best way to mine the deposit is to file for a Quarry Permit with the Ontario government which charges a royalty of CND S2.50 per ton mined and is renewed annually for a fee of CND S100.

INTRODUCTION

2l ? a''

The property contains an amethyst mine nearby to Big Pearl Lake within the prolific amethyst belt of the north half of McTavish Township in Northern Ontario. It contains a good-grade deposit of amethyst in a vein up to 6 feet wide (2 m) which is ready to mine.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The property is located within McTavish Township, claim map G-175, latitude 48 0 40' 45", longitude 880 40' 37". It is approximately 30 miles (50 km) east of the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The property is located 0.6 miles (l km) north of Highway 11-17 via No. 5 Road North at Pearl, Ontario. Access to the property is provided by an all-weather gravel road, the Diamond Willow Mine/Blue Points Mine road, which connects five amethyst mines with Highway 11-17, for 0.6 miles (1.0 km). Then, one proceeds on a narrow bush road, controlled by the property for 800 feet (250 m) to the mine-site.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The property consists of four unpatented mining claims within Lot 5, Concession IV, inMcTavish Township, Thunder Bay Mining Division, and contains approximately 16 hectares(200 acres). The original amethyst occurrence was staked in 1985, and requires S400 assessmentwork per unit per year to remain in good standing. No other taxes are applicable.

STRIPPING

Approximately 1000 feet (300 m) of ground along the strike length of the vein was stripped off in the spring of 2001 with a Komatsu 200 tracked excavator and exposed about 300 feet (100 m) of outcrop (see Photo l and 2). The access road from the Diamond Willow Mine Road was also cleared out. The Komatsu 200 excavator was rented from T.D. Owen Contractors and was operated by John Syncox. The stripping took place on July, 7th , 2001 for 10 hours and float rental was for 4 hours. Excavator rental was S907hour and the float cost was S380 for a total bill of S l,280 (includes GST).

The stripped areas were mapped and evaluated for amethyst. Some very large specimens were pulled out by the backhoe at the Main Pit which demonstrates the quality of the amethyst present. The amethyst was washed and remains unsold. Its purpose is for display on the potential quality of the deposit.

MINERALIZATION IN STRIPPED AREA

The mineralization was mapped into a local grid by 100 metre tape and Silva compass for base line control.

A fault zone in granite contains an amethystine quartz vein and veinlet zone up to 6 feet (2 metres) wide from the West Trench to the Main Pit, roughly parallel to the hydro field at 040 degrees. This vein system contains 5 to 15 07o fine disseminated pyrite. The vein at the East Trench is 2 feet (0.8 m) wide, contains 5 07o coarse disseminated galena and trends at 088 degrees, different from the west vein. They are roughly on strike to one another and the system trends north-east to Big Pearl Lake.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Stripping uncovered the vein so that mapping could be completed. The vein system that hosts the amethyst is strong and continues past the mined areas. This work was done for exploration purposes. The next step will be to wash the exposed outcrop in order to better evaluate the amethyst for ore reserve calculations.
