SUMMARY
TerraLogic Exploration Inc. was contacted by David Sherwood to assess his claim for its potential tohost economic gold placer deposits. The scope of work included an evaluation of alluvial deposits andtheir distribution, as well as an assessment of the general topography during a first site visit on August2nd, 2012. Following the discovery of a set of rusty quartz veins, TerraLogic was asked to sample thebedrock and evaluate its potential for gold and base metals.
The claim is situated in the Fort Steele Mining District of south British Columbia; N.T.S. 82F019, Mapsheet, Moyie Lake. The placer claim lies astride the Moyie River, upstream from the junction of NorthMoyie Creek covering an area of 84.16 hectares. The property is located 30 km southwest ofCranbrook and 13km west of Highway #3 on the Lumberton road.
The area of economic interest is located within the auriferous gravels deposited during the Tertiary ageand underlain by sedimentary rocks of the middle division of the Aldridge Formation. The bedrocksediment package is dominated by quartzite and argillite. A series of “en echelon” orangy brown quartzveins are present in the western central part of the claim. These veins were sampled as the potentialsource of the gold placer.
The overburden varies between 2-20m thick towards the eastern side of the claim and thickens upslopefrom the river. It comprises three distinct sediment layers. The seismic survey done by Tiarra in 1983shows potential gold bearing channels on both sides of the river.
It is believed that the Moyie River was one of the largest historic gold placer producer in the EastKootenays. A lot of gold placer development work has been done downstream of the DavidSherwood's claim.
In light of the geomorphological and geological conditions where gold bearing channels werediscovered on the Moyie river; it is favorable to concentrate exploration efforts in areas where:
• tertiary channels are parallel to the north and west banks of the Moyie River valley
• the bedrock gradient varies from 1.51 to 3.88 per cent
• the bedrock/tertiary channel interfaces consist of friable, oxidized (limonitic, hematitic) andfractured argillite
The field investigation along with the review of historical gold placer work on the Moyie River showthat the claim has great potential to host economic placer depostis. The bedrock is fractured andoxydized enough to allow gold to be deposited and the slope gradient in specific areas is less than 4%,making it a favourable environment for gold depositon and placer operations.
The rock samples collected on the western side of the property show gold values that are encouragingand suggest a favorable gold rich bedrock.
After a review of the best geomorphological and geological conditions to accumulate auriferousgravels, four trenches have been outlined as a first step of physical exploration work to test the goldpotential in the surficial material.

INTRODUCTION
TerraLogic Exploration Inc. was contacted by David Sherwood to assess his claim for its potential tohost economic gold placer deposits. The scope of work included an evaluation of alluvial deposits andtheir distribution, as well as an assessment of the general topography during a first site visit on August2nd, 2012. Following the discovery of a set of rusty quartz veins, TerraLogic was asked to sample thebedrock and evaluate its potential for gold and base metals.
This report reviews briefly the regional and local geology and describes the work conducted during the2012 site visits. As a result of the field investigation, potential zones to trench and channel sample aswell as restricted boundaries or areas with low economic potential have been outlined (see Figure 4).
Location, access and physiography
The claim is situated in the Fort Steele Mining District of south British Columbia; N.T.S. Mapsheet82F019, Moyie Lake (Figure 1). The placer claim lies astride the Moyie River, upstream from thejunction of North Moyie Creek and is comprised of four cells covering an area of 84.16 hectares. Thecentral part of the property is situated in UTM NAD (83) Zone 11N, with coordinates 567078E and5468376N and with dimensions of 1km long and 1 km wide (Figure 2). The claim number is 935876and is 100% owned by David Sherwood. It was acquired in December 2011 and has a current expirydate of December 2012.
The property is located 30km southwest of Cranbrook and 13km west of Highway #3 on theLumberton road. An excellent all-weather road allows easy access to the north of the property via ahigh voltage power line and an ATV trail gives access from the road to the river.
The study area is situated in the Moyie Range of the Purcell Mountains at an approximate elevation of1,300m A.S.L. The valley floor varies in elevation from 150 to 300m, with an alluvial plain of 5 to 50mwidth surrounding the creek. Note that some areas of the river banks on the property are steep andexpose bedrock. Most of the property is well vegetated apart from swampy areas at the eastern end ofthe property. The claim is sparsely treed with second growth timber consisting mainly of large whitepoplar and minor small to medium sized pine and spruce.

GEOLOGY
Regional Bedrock Geology
The Moyie area is central to the Purcell Anticlinorium, a broad generally north-plunging structure insoutheastern B.C. The claim area is underlain by Aldridge Formation rocks of the Precambrian PurcellSupergroup. The Aldridge Formation is a classic deep water turbidite sequence consisting of finegrained argillitic units strongly cleaved and metamorphosed to lower greenschist facies with theassociated development of pyrite cubes and quartz veinletes (Figure 3a and 3b). The AldridgeFormation is cut by numerous Moyie diorite intrusive sills and stocks consisting of 50% hornblende, 40- 45% plagioclase and 5 - 10% quartz of probable Jurassic age. The claim lies in the hanging wall ofthe Moyie Fault, a major regional right-lateral reverse fault. The area of economic interest is located within the auriferous gravels deposited during the Tertiary age.Gold mineralization associated with sulphide occurrences are common to the north and west of theMoyie River within both the Creston and Aldridge Formations. These occurrences are commonlyassociated with fault intersections in close proximity to igneous intrusives. These hardrock deposits arethe principal sources of the gold found in the Moyie River placer deposits. A large diorite intrusionlocated within the Moyie River acted as a natural dam and impeded the downward erosion of theoriginal Moyie channel. This instrusive plug is also responsible for the injection of numerous sillsparallel to the bedding of the gently dipping sediments above the creek. These sills, varying inthickness from a few meters up to ten meters, resisted erosion and created a network of natural rifflesfavourable for placer gold depostion, (Henrick M.P., 1990).
Property Bedrock and Surficial Geology
David Sherwood's property is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the middle member of the AldridgeFormation. This sedimentary package is dominated by medium to thickly bedded fine to mediumgrained quartzite to the west and transitions towards a very fine grained argillite to the east (Figure 3a).The majority of the bedrock exposed is located along the river cut and show evidence of hydrodynamicfeatures (i.e. Pot holes, ripple marks, etc).
A series of “en echelon” orange-brown quartz veins are present in the western central part of the claim.The veins avergage 0.3m in width, typically oriented at 278°/90° and host up to 20% pyrite, 5%chalcopyrite and 5% arsenopyrite. The rocks surrounding the veins are affected by sericite, chlorite,hematite, biotite and argillitic alteration. The veins are repeated every 1-5m and extend over at least700m.
The most prominent bedrock exposures are situated along the Moyie River and form 2-5m steep-sidedwalls represented by the orange colored area on the Trench map (Figure 4). The western side of theproperty has a flat bedrock exposure that slopes easterly between 3-20%.
The overburden varies between 2-20m towards the eastern side of the claim and thickens upslope fromthe river. It comprises of a thin surface layer of loose dry fluvial sands and gravels; a more compactfluvial sands and gravels layer and a fairly consolidated sand and gravels till layer (Mark D.G., 1983).The seismic survey completed by Tiarra in 1983 indicates swelling of the compact fluvial sands

towards the bank which indicates that the river was once a lot larger or has had varied channellocations over time. Note that the overburden cover does not comprise all three layers at all locations.This could be indicative of a lateral travel of the river and represents a higher possibility forpaleochannels to be present.

Economic Surficial Geology Summary and Historical Work
It is believed that the Moyie River was one of the largest historic gold placer producers in the EastKootenays. The area has seen placer exploration and mining work since 1890. A list of pertinentexploration reports is included in Appendix V for reference. Note that some of these reports aredescribing hard rock exploration work for areas that are outside the present zone of investigation; thesereports are useful to provide a regional geological context of the area.
One of the reports describes the results of a 575 meter seismic refraction survey completed on theproperty by Tiara Resources Limited. Relevant information regarding potential channel locations andoverburden thickness have been extracted and taken into consideration for the proposed trenchlocations.
Historical reports of the Moyie area attribute the presence of gold rich channels to gentle bedrockgradients ranging from one to four percent, creating a geomorphological environment that is favourablefor trapping gold. It is believed that the Moyie River eroded a narrow canyon drainage similar inconfiguration to the present valley during the late Cenozoic Era (Henrick M.P., 1990). It is a commonpractice to refer to the gold bearing placer channel as a "Tertiary Channel", as this age of alluvialdeposition is so commonly associated with gold bearing placer deposits throughout the westernCordillera.
During the Pleiocene period, glaciation cut a very broad "U" shaped valley, generally following theearly drainage. The bedrock walls bordering the original channel protected portions of the gold-bearingalluvial material from glacial scouring. Glacial till filled the valley and has only been partially removedto present levels by subsequent post glacial, high energy stream flows. The historical preglacial goldbearing channel (paleo channel) varies from 1-2m thick and lies in a bedrock trough somewhatparalleling the present drainage pattern.
A lot of gold placer mining work has been completed downstream of the David Sherwood's claim.Among them, Cominco historically reported 243,125 cubic meters of material valued at $0.66 per cubicmeter at a gold price of $31.50 per ounce, giving an overall grade of 0.021 fine ounces per cubic meterover 1.5 claim lengths. Reported reserves based on incomplete drill lines gave 1,556,634 cubic metersvalued at $0.556 per cubic yard at $31.50 gold giving an overall grade of 0.018 fine ounces per cubicyard over 2.5 claim lengths. During 1941 and 1942, G. Taylor, under agreement with Cominco, wasallowed to mine by shaft and drifting method on the Helen placer claim (Queenstake's former claim).It is reported that he produced 28.6 crude ounces in 1941 and 18.6 crude ounces in 1942. The MoyieMining Company began mining operations in 1980 and mined through to the end of 1984. During1982, 112,390 cubic meters of gravel was excavated and 14,527 cubic meters of gravel washed. Thewashed material consisted of 2.15m depth of gravel and bedrock mined over a area of 7,154 squaremeters. The gravels consistently averaged a width of 13m with a stripping ratio of 5.3 to 1. The totalgold reportedly collected from this operation was 1,141 ounces averaging 925 fine with 85% beingnuggets greater than number four mesh. The overall grade for the material washed was 0.072 fineounces per cubic yard. A total strike length of 378m was excavated during the four years of mining.The channel throughout this section averaged 53m in width with a constant 2% longitudinal gradient.Bedrock throughout this section consisted of shallow dipping middle Aldridge sediments, mainlyargillites (Henrick M.P., 1990).

Moyie Placer – Phase I Exploration Report Page 9
In light of the geological and geomorphological conditions where gold bearing channels werediscovered on the Moyie river; it is favorable to concentrate exploration efforts in areas where:
• Tertiary channel are parallel to the north and west banks of the Moyie River valley.
• Bedrock gradient varies from 1.51 to 3.88 per cent. A steep gradient to the channel andnarrowness are negative factors for particulate gold entrapment.
• Bedrock/tertiary channel interfaces consist of friable, oxidized (limonitic, hematitic) andfractured argillite. Hydrodynamic features such as pot holes, ripple marks, etc are actingsimilarly to fractures and are favorable environments for gold to deposit. Ultimatly, argillites incontact with upper Purcell Moyie diorites are the best environments to find gold. Massive,competent diorite, quartzite or silicified argillite bedrock surfaces have a tendency to cause theTertiary channel to narrow.
TerraLogic Exploration was contracted by David Sherwood in July 2012 to investigate the gold placerpotential on his claim The scope of work consisted of a one day site visit with the claim owner todetermine potential trench areas and inform the claim owner about the local geology. A series ofstations were evaluated to determine the topography, the bedrock geology and the sedimentcomposition (see description below). After a review of the historical work in the area and taking intoconsideration the best factors involved the production of auriferous gravel deposition, a trench mapwas produced to show the highest prospective areas to conduct further exploration work. (Figure 4).
Geological Stations
Station ABWPG001 (UTM: 566861E, 5468122N)
The bedrock in the river bed consists of a light grey quartzite, highly fractured and smooth. There aretwo sets of fractures; one oriented at 90° and one oriented at 180°. Abundant large quartz veins arepresent in the river bedrock or in boulders. The veins have a rusty orange brown color with a coarsematrix and host 5-10% chalcopyrite by volume. Sericitic and argilitic alteration are present locally.Rock sample ABWPR-001 was collected at this locality.
The north side of the river, on the western side of the claim, is composed of large angular to semi-rounded boulders, with gravel and sand. This area consists of a depositional bank and could be a goodarea to perform a hand test pit.
Station ABWPG002 (UTM:566820E, 5468047N)
The semi-angular boulders, gravel, sand and rusty brown color silt are indicative of an old river bed,which sits on a argillite bedrock. Note that the softness of argillite is favorable for gold to deposit dueto the mount of fractures and hydrodynamic features (i.e. pot hole, ripple marks) present at the interfaceof the bedrock and sediments. This area is highlighted as Trench 4 on the Moyie Gold Placer map(Figure 3a). Due to the steepness of the terrain above, hand work is recommended and is thereforeconsidered as a low priority to investigate.
Station ABWPG003 (UTM: 566793E, 5467950N)
A large quartzite outcrop is located in the Moyie river bed with fracture sets oriented at 45° and 120°.The quartzite is fine grained with sericitic alteration. The bedrock slopes at 18° downstream, which istoo steep for coarse gold to settle. Some angular quartzite boulders are present and host 5-10cm orangebrown quartz veins with 5% chalcopyrite and 2% pyrite.
Station ABWPG004 (UTM: 566784E, 5467881N)
Quartzite bedrock is located in the river bed and on surrounding river banks with fracture sets runningat 45° and 135°, creating a favorable texture to intercept and deposit gold.
Station ABWPG005 (UTM: 566852E, 5468169N)
There are multiple small creeks located 20m north of the Moyie River. Historical geophysical worksuggests this is a location of a potential gold rich channel with bedrock at a depth of approximately3.5m. This area would be a potential good test pit location. Note that heavy equipment could be usedhere as the location is adjacent to the current access trail.
TerraLogic Exploration Inc. October 26, 2012
Moyie Placer – Phase I Exploration Report Page 12
Station ABWPG006 (UTM: 567372E, 5468592N)
A flat area and the sediments below suggest this is could be an old river channel location. This area hasno exposed bedrock and is mainly cleared of trees besides a few alders. Historical geophysical worksuggests this is a location of a potential gold rich channel with a bedrock depth of approximately 5m.This area is the highest priority trench location (Trench 1).
Note that a potential road could be built from this location up to the power line or branching with theexisting access trail to avoid disturbance near the hunting guides cabin and allow closer access to theother side of the river (Trench 3).
Station ABWPG007 (UTM: 567505E, 5468657N)
Similar to station ABWPG006, this area is flat and the sediments below suggest it could be the locationof an old river channel. This area has no exposed bedrock and is mainly cleared of trees besides a fewalders. It could be a good trench location, although it is located at the edge of the claim boundary.
A one meter deep test pit showed the sediments to be comprised of rounded cobbles with abundant darkbrown color clay and silt.
Station ABWPG008 (UTM: 567400E, 5468575N)
Located on the south side of the Moyie River, this is another flat area where the sediments belowsuggest its a potential location of an old river channel. There is no outcrop at this station and the groundsediments are composed of light brown sub angular to angular boulders, cobbles, gravel, sand and silt.Although not highlighted as a potential gold rich channel in historical geophysical work, the surveyshows “V” shape features that can be linked on all the geophysical lines, which could be indicative of asouthern channel. This area would be a good trench location (Trench 3) after assessing the results fromTrench 1 and 2, which are easier to access. This location would require appropriate authorizations andpreparation to be accessed.
Station ABWPG009 (UTM: 567312E, 5468453N)
Similar to station ABWPG008, this area is flat and the sediments below suggest it could be the locationof an old river channel. There is no outcrop at this station and the ground sediments are composed oflight brown sub angular to angular boulders, cobbles, gravel, sand and silt. This area could also be apotential good trench location.
Station ABWPG010 (UTM: 567225E, 5468424N)
This area is flat and covered with fluvial sediments. Historical geophysical work indicates that achannel could potentially link to this location, making it a good trench location (Trench 2),with existingaccess. There is no outcrop or exposed ground available. Note that the terrain becomes too steep forheavy machinery further west. Any work westerly of that location needs to be done manually unless aroad is built from the power line down.

Trench work and geochemical results:
Following the site visit, the owner of the property contacted TerraLogic Exploration to investigate rustyquartz veins located on the western edge of the claim. The quartz veins were sampled along with theiralteration envelopes to determine their metal concentrations, including gold, to determine if it could bea potential upstream gold source that could be eroded and redeposited within river channels. Table 1below shows the location of the rock samples with their corresponding descriptions. The geochemicalresults can be found in Table 2 and Figure 4.

As highlighted in Table 2 below, the results of the sampling indicate that the bedrock has someinteresting gold values as a first round of sampling. The quartz vein sampled by ABWPR-027 returneda gold value of 0.771 ppm. In most cases, gold concentration is directly related to the presence ofquartz veining but the alteration vein envelopes in some localities also contained anomalous goldvalues. In the case of silver, the highest results were found in samples ABPR-005, ABPR-007 andABPR-008 and are associated with the vein envelope on the northern side of the sampling area.Elevated copper values were also associated with the veining and vein envelopes. The veins sampledaveraged approximately 35cm wide with a 35cm alteration envelope on either side of the vein.
Though the gold results are not economic, the structure of the veins, the alteration of the bedrock andthe mineral composition are good indicators that the geological context is favorable for goldmineralization.

Table 2 – Sample concentration for gold and base metals
The field inverstigations along with the review of historical gold placer work on the Moyie Riverindicate that David Sherwood's claim has strong potential to host significant gold placer mineralizationand warrants future exploration work. The bedrock is fractured and oxydized and the slope gradient inspecific areas is less than 4%, both favorable environments for gold deposition.
The bedrock samples collected on the western side of the property returned gold values that areencouraging and suggest a favorable geological environment for gold mineralization. In most cases,the gold concentration is directly related to the presence of quartz veins but the vein alterationenvelopes also contain anomalous gold values. In the case of silver, the highest concentrations wereassociated with the vein envelope on the northern side of the sampling area. Elevated copper valueswere also associated with the veining and vein envelopes.
After a review of the best geomorphological conditions to accumulate placer gold, four trenches tosample the surfical sediement have been outlined as the next phase of physical exploration work. Asnoted on the Compilation Map (Figure 4), some areas are unfavorable for channel development andshould be avoided.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In light of the field investigations, four trenches are proposed to evaluate the gold placer potential ofthe property. The trenches have been numbered according to their priority. The factors taken intoconsideration to prioritize the trenches included :
• the presence of potential old river channels on the historic seismic survey,
• the depositional environment (bedrock, slope, fracturation, oxydation, etc.),
• the surface area available to allow a maximum volume of pay dirt in case of discovery
• the access to the location.
As shown on Figure 4, work on the south side of the Moyie river (Trench 3) is suggested because thisarea consists of a large flat surface that could be economic to develop if gold concentrations were highenough. Since access exists on the north side of the river, it is suggested to investigate Trenchs 1 and 2first. Trench 4 could also be a potential target though this area is well vegetated and would be moredifficult to access with heavy machinery.
To evaluate the economic placer potential of the surficial sediments on the property, it is recommendedto grid the proposed trenches in m intervals. The maximum allowable trench dimensions are 15 mlong, 5 m wide and 3 m deep (BC regulations). Once the trench has been dug out using an excavatordown to bedorck or 3 m if bedrock is not encountered by then, hand sampling can proceed using atrowel or shovel, systematically taking samples 1 m long, 1 m wide and 10 cm deep into the trenchwall. Each sample would then consist of 0.1 cubic metres of material. All samples should be processedwith common sluicing equipment or by gold pan. In between the collection of each sample, it isimportatnt to clean the sampling equipment to avoid any contamination across samples. These samplesshould be labelled according to their location and described in terms of overall color, sedimentcomposition, presence of gold flakes, etc.
All physical exploration work should be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations setforth by the BC goverment and permitting.

Appendix II – Sampling Techniques
3.1 Handling and Sampling Protocol
All rock samples were collected by TerraLogic Exploration Services Inc. employees directly at therespective sample sites. The rock sample were then transported from the field to the TerraLogicfacilities at 2779-13th Street South, Cranbrook, B.C.
The rock samples were sampled on 0.35 meter intervals and were 5cm wide.
The analytical samples were put into a poly bag with the sample number written on the side of the bagand on a strip of flagging was inserted in the bag. Standards were inserted every 10th sample interval.Standards were from West Coast Minerals Ltd.
For shipping, all samples were placed in a large rice bag along with the completed shipping form andanalytic request form. Once the list of samples matched the database records, the rice bags were sealedwith a tamper-proof cable tie. Sample shipments were taken to Greyhound bus station by TerraLogicemployees and send to ACME Laboratories in Vancouver, BC.
3.2 Analytical Techniques
Acme Labs Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C. performed the geochemical analysis for the 2012 Moyie GoldPlacer project. The entire sample was crushed to 80% passing 10 mesh and then approximately 1000gof sample was pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh. Analysis included a 0.5g aqua-regia / ICP-MSmulti-element scan (36 elements) and a 30g fire assay fusion / AAS Au analysis.
QAQC
Quality assurance and quality control of the analytical data was done internally by TerraLogicExploration. Both external QAQC data (submitted by TerraLogic) and internal QAQC data (submittedby ACME) we analyzed. Blanks showed no evidence of cross contamination and all standards returnedAu values within acceptable limits. One repeat of ABWPR027 returned a highly variable result (138%difference) which could be consistent with the presence of nuggety gold.
