INTRODUCTION

In February of 2005, Scott Hogg A Associates Ltd. carried out a helicopter-borne magnetic survey of the New Liskeard Property in Northern Ontario on behalf of Metalex Ventures Inc. The flight operations were carried out between February 11 and 13, 2005. The data acquisition, compilation and investigative recommendations are the subject of this report.

1 SURVEY AREA

The New Liskeard property is located some 20 kms NW of the Town of New Liskeard, On. (nee. Temiscaming Shores) as illustrated in Figure 1. The fully contiguous property lies within the Townships of Bryce, Beauchamp, Cane and Henwood, all within the Larder Lake Mining Division. For the purposes of the airborne the property is known as Block 7. The survey consisted of 721 line kilometers of actual survey. A flight-line spacing of 50 meters was used. The claims within the survey area are as follows

2 GEOLOGY

Regional and General Geology of the Bryce Township Area

The regional geology of the area is dominated by the contact between the Southern Province of the Canadian Shield composed of Huronian supergroup sedimentary rocks and the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield with archean metavolcanics and the large Round Lake Batholith. The Bryce Township claims themselves are covered by a large kame terrace associated with a recessional moraine. The few bedrock exposures on or near the claims suggest the claims are underlain by Gowganda Formation sedimentary rocks of the Huronian supergroup and intermediate to felsic archean metavolcanic rocks. These are both intruded by a prominent early proterozoic Nipissing diabase sill on the southern edge of the claims and associated north trending dikes. The primary structural feature in the area is the Northwest trending Cross Lake fault (associated with the Timiskaming Rift Valley) that bisects the claim block. This fault is visible on topographic maps and air photographs. Historically kimberlite pipes have been spatially associated with this fault in Bucke, Firstbrook and Hudson townships. Kimberlite pipes have also been associated with a large Nipissing diabase sill in Lundy and Klock Townships that seems to control kimberlite emplacement probably from a central feeder to the north. The kimberlite magma probably migrated to mid-crustal depths along common conduits with the Nipissing diabase and subsequent deflection of kimberlite magma by multiple massive diabase sills combining with north trending crustal faults controlled the final diatreme emplacement on surface. The Nipissing diabase sill on the southern edge of the claims in Bryce Twp. represents the northern edge of the same diabase basin structure that is present in Lundy Township and is essentially a mirror image of that environment.

3 GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY

3,1 EQUIPMENT

The geophysical and ancillary equipment was provided by Flux Geophysics Ltd.

(a) Geophysical Data Acquisition System

A DL-DAS data acquisition system was used for data collection. The system was interfaced with a Glonass GPS, KMAG4 four channel magnetometer counter, a KANA8 eight channel A-D converter and two PC-1O4 uServer computers. One of the computers was used for navigation, the other to handle collection, integration and recording of the data to internal hard drives and /or Compact Flash memory cards.

Digital data string includes Fiducial, Magnetometer clock, GPS pluse, QPS time, Magnetometer. Analog inputs to the A-D converter included the radar altimeter. All data timing and synchronization was to within 0.05 seconds.

(b) Airborne Magnetometer

The magnetometer was a Scintrex CS-2 cesium sensor operated in strap down mode. The measurement range of the magnetometer was 15,000 nT to 100,000 nT with a peak to peak noise envelope of 0.002 nT in the 0.01 to 1 Hz bandwidth.

(c) Base Station

A portable computer was operated as a base station collecting data from a Scintrex CS-2 sensor and a Novatel12 channel GPS receiver. The base station was operated in an area of low magnetic gradient, as free from cultural noise as possible. The sensitivity of the ground magnetometer was 0.001 nT at a sampling interval of 1.0 sec. GPS and magnetic data was recorded continuously throughout the survey flights in digital form. Both the ground and airborne magnetic readings were automatically time stamped with GPS time to within 0.05 seconds.

(d) Altimeter

A Terra 3000 radar altimeter was mounted inside the magnetometer bird. The precision of the altimeter was +/-0.3 meter.

(e) Electronic Navigation

Survey navigation was provided by a DL-NAV navigation system. The system consists of the DL-NAV software running on one of the DL-DAS computers which received positioning information and raw range data from a Novatel Glonass dual frequency 12 channel GPS. The antenna was mounted on the magnetometer bird. Cross track steering information was provided to the pilot via a plasma l dot matrix display.

The raw data was used with the base station GPS data for post flight differential corrections that provide a typical accuracy in the 3 to 5 m. range. The GPS receiver also provided a GPS pulse, time and position to the DAS program.

(f) Flight Video System

The ground track of the aircraft was monitored by a color video camera mounted in the aircraft. The ground track was recorded on standard 8mm video tape. The video had the acquisition system fiducial, flight number, job number, GPS time and latitude and longitude position continuously recorded on the image.

3.2 PERSONNEL

The Geophysical equipment was installed and operated by Syed Shaw of Flux Geophysics. The helicopter pilot was Joel Breton of Abitibi Helicopters Ltd.

3.3 AIRCRAPT

The helicopter was a Bell 206B, owned and operated by Abitibi Helicopters Ltd.

4 GEOPHYSICAL COMPILATION

The data was reviewed for completeness and quality on site by the survey operator. The radar altimeter was calibrated prior to the commencement of thesurvey by flying at several fixed altitudes. The raw radar data was plotted againstthe corrected G PS altitude to determine the conversion factor from raw volts to meters. The GF'S data was differentially corrected and the base station magnetic record was merged with the airborne profile database prior to transmitting the data to the offiQe of Scott Hogg b Associates in Toronto.

The magnetic profile data was corrected for diurnal variation by subtraction of the base station profile and reference to the magnetic differences at the tie lines. The corrected profile data was gridded using the SI-GRID technique developed by Scott Hogg A Associates. The system is designed to provide a map with optimum clarity and detail in areas of geological and geophysical complexity.

Contour maps i)f the magnetic total field were produced and presented together with flight lines and claim boundaries.

5 GEOPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The magnetic anomalies mapped by the survey are believed to be associated with intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks, surrounded by sedimentary rock. The possibility exist^ that some of the smaller, circular, more isolated anomalies may be associated with kimberlite pipes.

Magnetic modelling of the anomalies is suggested. If a steeply dipping source of reasonable width and depth extent and moderate to low susceptibility is confirmed ground investigation is recommended to identify a potential kimberlite source.
