5. REGIONAL AND LOCAL GEOLOGY

The Baie Verte Peninsula is located at the northern tip of the Appalachian Orogen and is composed of two tectostratigraphic zones: the Humber Zone to the north west; and the Dunnage Zone to the south east. These two zones are divided by a boundary termed The Baie Verte Line. The area of focus is situated west of this line, in what is further termed as the Fleur de Lys Super Group. (Hibbard,1983)

The Fleur de Lys Super Group is further broken down to the Rattling Brook Group as described by Hibbard (Hibbard,1983). Specifically, the license is underlain by the following units (also see figure 3):

OЄr/ unseperated semipelitic, pelitic, and psammitic schist; minor greenschist, marble and OЄrs graphic schist; mainly garnet-porphyroblastic quartz-muscovite schist.

OЄra mainly medium to dark green amphibolite and greenschist.

OЄrm mainly marble and calcareous pelite; minor marble breccia.

OЄrg gray to black graphic schist; locally feldspar porphyroblastic.

These units may be interpreted as a continental slope at the edge of a carbonate shelf of the continental margin of North America and has an age range from the Ordovician to Mississippian periods with age dating giving a range of 362 ma to 451 ma in the area (Hibbard,1983).

Local Geology:

The Fleur De Lys area has been subject to polyphase deformation, with the Partridge point granite being the only unit non-metamorphosed in the local area (Kennedy,1971). With the obduction of Ophiolites on Fleur De Lys Terrane in Taconic Orogeny and related to the metamorphic activity (Hibbard,1983). A slide, termed Bishie Cove Slide, is located midway between Bishie Cove and Cook in Cove and strikes south to Lead Mine fault, where it is offset west then continues to the harbour, this is located east of the mafic-ultramafic assemblages and is possibly related to their emplacement (Hibbard, 1983, Kennedy,1971)

A significant amount of garnet from 3 to 5 mm in size and comprising 10 to 20% of the rock (Figure 4.) is observed in the barren outcrop east of First pond , between the Hodder and Travers Town prospects. This same rock outcrop has been cut by numerous 10 to 30 cm wide veins or lenses of white opaque quartz, containing only minor amounts of biotite near the contact with the host rock (Figure 5.).

6. EXPLORATION PROGRAM

During the 2010 exploration program, two days were spent prospecting the property in the area near First Pond, which encompasses both the Hodder and Traverstown prospects.

The location of the actual Hodder Copper Prospect, with pits and trenches, is seen on the path to First Pond, approximately 100 m to the south and not directly east of the pond (where the garnet and quartz veins have been observed). In this area it was observed that a number of shafts / pits / trenches have been backfilled with non local, rounded, beach rock. Adjacent to these shafts is an outcrop of black biotite rich marble in fresh surfaces, but weathering a rusty brown due to chalcopyrite or pyrite. Additional time was spent transversing the thickly wooded area directly south of the garnet bearing outcrop and east of the Hodder prospect, limited outcrop was observed in the tangly wooded area.

At the time of writing this report the samples have not been sent for assay.

7. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

With the significant number of noted mineral deposits in the area and the known mineralization and geology on the property, it can be concluded that additional exploration is warranted on the property.

The following is recommended for the property:

1. Conduct a geochemical soil survey in the area around First Pond, with a tight grid spacing over an east west distance of approximately 1 km

2. A continuation of general prospecting activities north of the Lead Mine Fault (Traverstown prospect)

3. Trenching in the direct vicinity of the Hodder Copper and the Traverstown Lead Prospects
