1.0 SUMMARY

This report describes results of a geochemical rock chip sampling conducted on the south-central portion of the VALEMOUNT MICA mineral claims in April, 2019. The VALEMOUNT MICA (Canoe Mica North) property is located approximately 12 km south-southwest of Valemount, British Columbia. The property is situated on the north side of the Canoe River about 5 kilometres southwest of Cedarside, and consist of 2 mineral claims (total area 39.14 hectares) within the Cariboo Mining Division.

Mica-bearing schist occurs in the central and south (lower elevation) portions of the mineral claims. High mica content schist is associated with folded (rninor crenulation and chevron folds) Hadrynian Lower Kaza Group muscovite-phlogopite-biotite-quartz-feldspar pelitic schist with minor kyanite-staurolite-garnet. Other lithologies of the lower Kaza Group include psammite, amphibolite, marble, calc-silicate, metamorphosed conglomerate, coarse grained grit and diamictite.

The VALEMOUNT MICA property has a history of previous work. In 1960, Georgian Mineral Industries Ltd developed a small quarry along the lower road. The mica schist located in the quarry consists predominantly of muscovite and quartz with lesser garnet, biotite and feldspar. Georgian's quarry is about 61 metres in diameter and 3.0 to 4.5 metres deep. The schist was processed at a plant at nearby Cedarside, and the final processing was done by Magcobar Mining Company Limited at a plant in Rosalind, Alberta. In 1961, Magcobar attempted to prove up larger reserves with a program of bulldozer trenching and 18 short holes. Results indicated approximately 200,000 tonnes of reserves grading 85 to 90 per eent mica to depth of 3.65 metres (Northern Miner March 15,1962). Some holes were drilled to a depth of 12 metres without reaching the lower limit of the mica-rich layer. The mica occurs in a mica-quartz-garnet schist. A program of short-hole drilling in 1961 had shown that a thickness of at least 25 feet (7 62 meters) of mica schist occurs. A processing plant was built in Cedarside in 1960 and 100 tonnes of mica nroduct was nroduced for market bv Georgia Mineral Industries Ltd (Tvlinister of Mines Annual Report 1960) During 1961 a further 125 tonnes of mica were produced (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1961) In 1962 remodelling of the plant was completed and testing begun Several shipments of mica were made to dry-wall faint cement consumers (Minister of Mines^nual Report 1962).

A magnetometer survey was done in the summer of 1978, and several small pits were dug. The Property was optioned by Koppers International Canada Limited (drilled a 91.5 metre hole on the Canoe 1 claim in 1978). In 1979, a further 16 holes were drilled totalling 641.3 metres. Forty five samples were submitted for froth flotation for mica recovery. Results ranged from 51.6 to 68.5 per cent muscovite (Assessment Report 7687). Koppers authorized a 14 hole drilling program totalling 670 metres to attempt to outline enough tonnage of schist to support a mining operation. The core size was NQ (4.7 cm in diameter), in order to give a large sample and to maximize recovery in the schist which in some sections is very soft and friable. The first 13 holes were drilled as planned, and showed that the dip is shallower than expected from the surface mapping and that Band A had been removed by erosion in the NE part of the drilling area. A total of 641.3 metres were drilled in 1979. The schist is difficult to core in some sections that are very soft. It was found that there was no systematic relationship between loss of core and grade of mica in the samples. Band B, which lies approximately 30 metres below Band A, was

^ intersected in Holes 79-1,2 and 11, but was not traced to the SE to determine its area of subdrift O outcrop because the available diamond drill footage was used for the primary objective of

outliriing that part of Band A which is near the surface and amenable to mining by means of an open pit (Richardson, 1979). Mica aecurs in mica-quartz-garnet schist interlayered with beds of quartzite. One bed of schist, Band A, sub-outcrops under shallow overburden, and dips gently into a low hill. The proportion of quartzite within the schist bed varies from place. The schist bed has been truncated to the NE by a drainage channel which was immediately post glacial as indicated bv the verv fresh disarticulated schist and quartzite fragments which, with rounded boulders fill the channel. Considerable fracturing and faulting occur in Holes 79,9,10,11,12 and 13, and within zone of weakness (relatively easy to excavate this fractured and fissile zone).

Outland Resources Corp. outlined 2,290,000 tonnes of reserves after acquiring the property in 1980. The grade was 60.5 per cent muscovite. Another 1,000,000 tonnes of reserves was fairly assured (Canadian Mining Journal, May 1982). Property work in 1986 and 1987 included a pre-feasibility study.

A total of 2 rock chip samples were analyzed in 2019 (QEMSCAN, whole rock analysis, & sulphur assay). The upper and lower road high-mica pelitic schist zone contains muscovite-phlogopite-biotite-quartz-feldspar mineral assemblages, that include accessory chlorite, Ti-bearing minerals (ilmenite), Fe oxides (hematite-magnetite), pyrite, apatite, and trace amphibole, andalusite-kyanite-sillimanite, zircon). Foliation is relatively flat-lying, striking 240 degrees and dipping 10 degrees northwest.

O The objective of the fieldwork was to identify mineralogy and geochemistry of high mica content quartz-muscovite-phlogopite-biotite schist. A total of 5 rock samples were taken (Fig 4-6). A total of 2 rock chip samples were analyzed. One rock sample was taken from the upper road area where previous drilling in 1979 took place at 900 meters elevation, and the other sample was a composite of 4 rock samples from exposures along a distance of 300 meters along the lower road at 850 meters elevation (Fig 4-6). The upper and lower road zones are hosted in muscovite-phlogopite-biotite-quartz-feldspar pelitic schist.(including accessory chlorite, Ti-bearing minerals, Fe oxides, pyrite, apatite, and trace amphibole, andalusite-kyanite-sillimanite, zircon. The lower road (sample # 19VM-1 to 4) muscovite schist has 4.7% higher A1203 content, 12.1% higher muscovite content, and 1.9% higher phlogopite-biotite content, & 7.8% less Si02thanthe upper road (sample # 19VM-5) zone suggesting the mica content of lower road zone is higher than the upper road zone where the previous drilling took place.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

This report describes geochemical sampling and geological mapping performed during April 30, 2019 on the VALEMOUNT MICA claim (MTO ID number 1068181). The writer has prepared this report to comply with standards for the purpose of assessment reports. The intent of geochemical whole rock analysis and QEMSCAN was to discern mineralogical variations of the upper road (900 meters elevation) and lower road (850 meters elevation) exposures of mica schist.

.3.0 LOCATION, ACCESS, PHYSIOGRAPHY, INFRASTRUCTURE, CLAIM DATA

Work carried out on property is centered at 52 45' 59" north latitude and 119 17' 36" west longitude on NTS map sheet 83D 14/W. Access to the property is obtained from Valemount, via well-maintained logging access roads. The property elevations range from 820-960 meters above sea level. In general, topography has gentle to moderate slopes. Outcrop is rare but is exposed along portions of roadcuts, and deeper incised creek gullies.

The VALEMOUNT MICA property is located along the metamorphic (schist, quartzite) belt west of the Rocky Mountain Trench in northeast-central British Columbia. The area has been extensively glaciated resulting in low lying areas having deep overburden. The mineral property covers low lying hills. Portions of the property have been logged. Tree species consist of white spruce, fir and lodgepole pine with relatively little brush. The climate is typical of the northern interior of British Columbia with long cold winters and warm summers. The snow begins to accumulate in November and melts in April during a typical fall to spring cycle. Mining infrastructure can be supported by local communities and Kamloops located 250 kilometers south of the VALEMOUNT MICA mineral claims. The Main Line of the Canadian National Railway is 2 km east of the mica showings on the mineral claims. The Avola Valemount Transmission Line crosses the valley approximately 300 meters east of the rnineral claims, and the Canoe River is at the south boundary of the Property

4.0 PROPERTY HISTORY

In I960, Georgian Mineral Industries Ltd developed a small quarry along the lower road. The mica schist located in the quarry consists predominantly of muscovite and quartz with lesser garnet, biotite and feldspar, in layers striking 240 degrees and dipping 10 degrees to the northwest. A sample from the main quarry was sent to the Department of Mines, Ottawa where garnet, ruffle and ilmenite were identified by x-ray diffraction. The main quarry is about 61 metres in diameter and 3.0 to 4.5 metres deep.

The mica on the present claim has been investigated several times in the past. Many years ago, a large amount of sluicing was done near the stream to investigate the area around a large mica schist outcrop. In 1961, Georgian Mineral Industries Ltd. produced small amounts of mica schist from a pit near the logging road. The schist was processed at a plant at nearby Cedarside, and the final processing was done by Magcobar Mining Company Limited at a plant in Rosalind, Alberta. In 1961, Magcobar attempted to prove up larger reserves with a program of bulldozer trenching and 18 short holes. In 1961, a drill program, consisting of 18 short holes covering an area of 152 square metres, indicated approximately 200,000 tonnes of reserves grading 85 to 90 per cent mica to depth of 3.65 metres (Northern Miner March 15, 1962). Some holes were drilled to a depth of 12 metres without reaching the lower limit of the mica-rich layer. The mica occurs in a mica-quartz-gamet schist. A program of short-hole drilling in 1961 had shown that a thickness of at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) of mica schist occurs. A processing plant was built in Cedarside in 1960 and 100 tonnes of mica product was produced for market by Georgia Mineral Industries Ltd. (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1960). During 1961, a further 125 tonnes of mica were produced (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1961). In 1962 remodelling of the plant was completed and testing begun. Several shipments of mica were made to dry-wall joint cement consumers (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1962).

A magnetometer survey was done in the summer of 1978, and several small pits were dug. The Property was optioned by Koppers International Canada Limited in July, 1978. Mits Development Company Ltd. drilled a 91.5 metre hole on the Canoe 1 claim in 1978. In 1979, a further 16 holes were drilled totalling 641.3 metres. Forty five samples were submitted for froth flotation for mica recovery. Results ranged from 51.6 to 68.5 per cent muscovite (Assessment Report 7687). Koppers authorized a 14 hole drilling program totalling 670 metres to attempt to outline enough tonnage of schist to support a mining operation. The core size was NQ (4.7 cm in diameter), in order to give a large sample and to maximize recovery in the schist which in some

^ sections is very soft and friable. The first 13 holes were drilled as planned, and showed that the CJ dip is shallower than expected from the surface mapping and that Band A had been removed by

erosien in the NE part of the drilling area. The total metres drilled in 1979 was 641.3. The schist is difficult to core in some sections that are very soft. It was found that there was no systematic relationship between loss of core and grade of mica in the samples. Band B, which lies approximately 30 metres below Band A, was intersected in Holes 79-1,2 and 11, but was not traced to the SE to determine its area of subdrift outcrop because the available diamond drill footage was used for the primary objective of outlining that part of Band A which is near the surface and amenable to mining by means of an open pit. Mica occurs in mica-quartz-garnet schist interlayered with beds of quartzite. One bed of schist, Band A, sub-outcrops under shallow overburden, and dips gently into a low hill. The proportion of quartzite within the schist bed varies from place. The schist bed has been truncated to the NE by a drainage channel which was immediately post glacial as indicated by the very fresh, disarticulated schist and quartzite fragments which, with rounded boulders, fill the channel. Considerable fracturing and faulting occur in Holes 79-9,10,11,12 and 13, and the position of the channel was probably governed by this zone of weakness.

Outland Resources Corp. outlined 2,290,000 tonnes of reserves after acquiring the property in 1980. The grade was 60.5 per cent muscovite. Another 1,000,000 tonnes of reserves was fairly assured (Canadian Mining Journal, May 1982). Property work in 1986 and 1987 included apre-feasibility study. Conclusions of the study were that present markets were inadequate to justify production at that time.

O 5.0 GENERAL GEOLOGY

The Property is adjaeent on the west to the Rocky Mountain Trench, and is underlain by the Proterozoic Kaza Group of Windermere ago (Campbell, 1967). The rocks mapped on the Property consist of a thick series of interbedded quartzite and mica-quartz-garnet schist beds which strike northeasterly and dip shallowly to the northwest. Individual quartzite and schist members vary in thickness from a fraction of a metre to several metres. Outcrops are sparse, and occur mainly along the stream which crosses the drilling area at 900 meters elevation, the Property. GSC Map 15-1967 indicates that the Property is adjacent to a staurolite-kyanite grade metamorphic zone, and trace amounts of these minerals have been identified (Appendix A: QEMSCAN).

6.0 PROPERTY GEOLOGY

Mica-bearing schist occurs in the central and south (lower elevation) portions of the mineral claims.

7.0 GEOCHEMICAL, GEOLOGICAL FIELDWORK 2019

7.1 METHODS & PROCEDURES

A total of 5 rock samples taken in the south-central portion of the VALEMOUNT MICA claims, one of the two samples is a composite taken from 4 separate locations. Location survey was performed using Garmin 60Cx GPS receiver with 3 meter accuracy (elevations are approximately 30 meter accuracy). Using rock hammer, 3.4-4.6 kilograms of acorn sized rock chips were placed in a plastic poly ore sample bag along with a numbered sample tag. The rock sample was taken across an outcrop of75-85 cm sample length intervals (3 out of 5 rock chip samples were angular float). Sample bags were labelled with black felt markers, and flagged. Samples were securely shipped to ALS Metallurgical Ltd, Kamloops for QEMSCAN mineralogy, head assay (S sulphur, S-IR08 S Total 0.01%-50% Total sulfur by Leco furnace, O.lg sample), and whole rock analysis, sample preparation ALS Prep-31, and ICP-AES finish ME-XRF06 (analysis details, methods & procedures are described in Appendix A: QEMSCAN, Head Assay, Whole Rock Analysis, Mineralogy, antl Appendix E: ALS Methods and Procedures).

7.2 QEMSCAN Mineralogy

The objective of the QEMSCAN was to identify mineralogy and geochemistry of high mica content schist. The schist is characterized by abundanee of fine to medirarn-grained bronze-coloured phlogopite-muscovite. A total of 5 rock samples were taken (Fig 4-6). QEMSCAN and whole rock analysis of 2 samples were performed. One rock sample from the upper road area where previous drilling in 1979 took place at 900 meters elevation, the other sample was a composite of 4 rock samples from the lower road at 850 meters elevation (Fig 4-6).

Results suggest the upper and lower road zones are hosted in muscovite-phlogopite-biotite-quartz-feldspar pelitic schist.(including accessory chlorite, Ti-bearing minerals, Fe oxides, pyrite, apatite, and trace amphibole, andalusite-kyam^e-sillimanite, zircon). The lower road (sample # 19VM-1 to 4) muscovite schist has 4.7% higher A1203 content, 12.1% higher muscovite content, 1.9% higher phlogopite-biotite content, & 7.8% less Si02 than the upper road (sample # 19VM-5) suggesting the overall mica content of lower road zone is several percent higher than the upper road zone where the previous drilling took place.

8.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Valemount Mica mineral claims compares favourably to other mica deposits, in Quebec (Suzerite Twp rnining property) contains similar grades of mica. The Valemount Mica has historic estimates of200,000 tonnes of high-mica schist that is available for open pit mining, and estimated potential for over 2,000,000 tonnes high-mica schist. Valemodnt Mica occurs in an area of moderate topography, and the upper band of muscovite-phlogopite-biotite bearing schist is extensive (estimated to contain and flat-lying. A study of mining costs should be made and milling tests (froth flotation, recovery, dissociation, end product suitability for drywall compound), should be conducted to determine the type of products that can be produced and the cost of producing them. A market study should be made to determine the size of the market for mica products.

Detailed geological mapping, trenching and bulk sampling are recommended. Follow-up exploration should include the area immediately southwest of the area of 1979 drill holes. Development work should include bulk sample processing (mica separated from other minerals by flotation), and tested in drywall compounds and for additional industrial mineral applications, e.g. The plastic industry used ground mica as an extender and filler and also as a reinforcing agent. The rubber industry uses ground mica as an inert filler and as a mold lubricant in the manufacture of molded rubber products, including tires. Sheet mica is used principally in the electronic and electrical industries

O Dear Mr. Kikauka;

Re: Mineraloqical Study on Two Samples from the Canoe Property - KM6053

We are pleased to report that we have now completed mineralogical analyses on

2 samples from the Canoe North Mica property located near Valemont, British

Columbia. The samples, identified as 19VM-1 and 19VM-5 and weighing 4.6 and

3.4 kilograms, respectively, were received as bulk rock in a single shipment on

October 24, 2019.

The objective of the assessment was to investigate the mineralogical

characteristics of the samples using QEMSCAN. In addition to the mineralogical

analysis, samples were also submitted for whole rock and sulphur analyses.

Detailed assay results are located in Appendix I - Sample Origin.

PREP-31 Standard Sample Preparation: Dry, Crush, Split and Pulverize

Sample preparation is the most critical step in the entire laboratory operation. The purpose of preparation is to produce a homogeneous analytical sub-sample that is fully representative of the material submitted to the laboratory. The sample is logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and finely crushed to better than 70 % passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.l 0) screen. A split of up to 2 50 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75 micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen. This method is appropriate for rock chip or drill samples.

083D074 083D14W 11 (NAD 83] 5848011 345177 P02 : Kyanite-sillimanile schists Kootenay. Ancestral North America

C a p s u l e G e o l o g y The Canoe North Mica property is situated on the north side of the Canoe River about 5 kilometres southwest ol Cedarside.

The showing is underlain by folded Hadrynian Lower Kaza Group Kyanite-staurolile-garnel-biotite and/or muscovite-quartz-feldspar pelitic schist. Other lithotogies of the lower Kaza Group include psammite, amphibolite. marble, calc-silicate. conglomerate, coarse grained grit and diamictite. The foliation of layers within the showing strike 240 degrees and dip 10 degrees northwest. A more delated description of the regional structure and metamorphism is given in the Canoe South Mica (083D 017) and Albreda (083D018) occurrences.

In the quarry, schist consists predominantly of muscovite and quartz with lesser garnet, biotile and feldspar, in layers striking 240 degrees and dipping 10 degrees to Ihe northwest. A sample from the mam quarry was sent to the Department of Mines. Ottawa where garnet, mtlte and ilmenite were identified by x-ray diffraction. The main quarry is about 61 metres in diameter and 3.0 to 4.5 metres deep,

In 1961. a drill program, consisting of 18 short holes covering an area of 152 square metres, indicated approximately 200.000 tonnes of reserves grading 85 to 90 per cent mica to depth of 3.65 metres (Northern Miner March 15, 1962). Some holes were drilled to a depth of 12 metres without reaching Ihe lower limit of the mica-rtch layer. A processing plant was built in Cedarside in 1960 and 100 tonnes of mica product was produced (or market by Georgia Mineral industries Ltd. (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1960). During 1961. a further 125 tonnes of mica were produced (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1961). In 1962 remodelling ot Ihe plant was completed and testing begun. Several shipments of mica were made to dry-wall joint cement consumers (Minister o l Mines Annual Report 1962).

Mils Development Company Ltd. drilled a 91.5 metre hole on the Canoe 1 claim in 1978. In 1979. a further 16 holes were drilled totalling 641.3 metres. Forty live samples were submitted for froth flotation for mica recovery. Results ranged from 51.6 to 68.5 percent muscovite (Assessment Report 7687),

Outland Resources Corp. outlined 2.290.000 tonnes of reserves after acquiring the property in 1980, The grade was 60.S per cent muscovite. Another 1,000,000 tonnes of reserves was fairly assured (Canadian Mining Journal. May 1982).

Property work in 1986 and 1987 included a pre-feasibility study. Conclusions of.the study were that present markets were inadequate to justify production at thai lime.
