CATHARINE-PACAUD TOWNSHIPS PROPERTYof

WARREN EXPLORATIONS LIMITEDBOSTON CREEK AREA

DISTRICT OF TEMISKAMING ONTARIO

(1) The property consists of two groups of patented and unpatented

claims totalling 1,272 acres.

(2) From September, 1974 until January, 1975 linecutting, geophysical

work, prospecting, trenching and diamond drilling were carried out.

(3) A VLF electromagnetic survey revealed four areas of minor

conductivity which should be confirmed with another type of

instrument.

INTRODUCTION;

In the early 1920's the Boston Creek Area was actively prospected

for gold and a limited production was obtained from two properties*

In 1926 copper was discovered along a zone extending south

easterly for 2-1/2 miles from the village of Boston Creek. Between

1927 and 1930 a limited production was obtained by underground development

of three properties.

Similar rocks extend in a semicircular belt along the periphery

of the granite through Catharine Township and contain a number of known

gold and copper showings.

During 1974 Jonpol Explorations Limited purchased two contiguous

patented lots for $6,000.00 cash and a 3 7, royalty based on net smelter

returns to a maximum of one million dollars, thereafter the royalty will

be reduced to 2% of net smelter returns t Jonpol Explorations Limited

vended the property to Warren Explorations Limited for a stock consideration.

In October 1974 the adjoining area was prospected as well as the

original Warren patented claims. The examination of the copper showing

reported on in 1929 by Victor James of Wright, Boydell James and Associates

led to the acquisition by optioning and staking all available adjoining

favourable ground.

A limited geophysical program was undertaken as well as" prospecting,

drilling and trenching. The arrival of winter brought an end to the operation

on January l, 1975. Work was confined to 952 contiguous acres around the

Old Mindoka Mines property.

For the above, please refer to the incorporated reported by L. J. Cunningham,

June 25, 1974.

1974 EXPLORATION PROGRAM;

During the period between September, 1974 and January, 1975

an exploration program following the recommendations made by L. J.

Cunningham was conducted.

Picket lines were cut at 200-foot intervale over the known vein

areas and .V.L.F. surveys completed over the two grids. (Ref: enclosed

surveys by L. J. Cunningham.)

Several trenches were blasted into, on the Gawley option, and

the area around these was prospected. The mineralization in the trenches

did not respond to the V.L.F. instrument. The late season did not allow

us to map in detail these trenches but we expect to do this next spring.

An excellent description of the trenched area is given by Victor James,

Mining Engineer, in his Report on the Property of The Mindoka Mines

Limited, which is enclosed herewith.

Two short diamond drill holes were put down under what appeared

to be the best mineralization in the trenches. It was necessary to stop

drilling with inconclusive results due to the light drill equipment and

the cold weather. The two short holes revealed only scattered blebs of

chalcopyrite. (Ref: enclosed drill records logged by John A. Pollock, P.Eng.)

Page 8: PROGRESS RPT ON THE CATHARINE-PACAUD TWP PROP · in the winter with the Winki Drill. The geophysical work did reveal some conductors on both grids, which although they do not appear

*- 7 -

A study was made of the results of the Questor Mark M.K.V.

input survey which was flown over Catharine Township in 1970. Four

conductors were indicated by this survey to the south of the Warren

property and eight mining claims were acquired to cover the interesting

areas. No conductors showed up on the Warren property itself.

The results of this survey are available at the Mining

Recording Office, Kirkland Lake, Ontario.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

The fall program in 1974 of linecutting, geophysical work and

very limited trenching and drilling did not reveal any economic deposits

of copper ore. The work was confined to known occurrences and did not

cover a large part of the property.

The trenching did reveal scattered copper mineralization over

a length of four hundred feet north of the Gawley shaft.

The diamond drilling showed only scattered chalcopyrite under

the best mineralization but the possible plunge of the pipe could easily

have been missed. Two short holes are not a very good test of mineralization

which stretches for fbur hundred feet, but it was impractical to continue

in the winter with the Winki Drill.

The geophysical work did reveal some conductors on both grids,

which although they do not appear strong should probably be tested with

more sophisticated instruments.

The group of 8 mining claims to the south which were staked to cover

weak airborne anomalies was not worked on at all due to the lack of time and

men on the project.

It is recommended that:

Phase I; (1) Detailed magnetometer and electromagnetic surveys

be conducted over the present grids to verify

anomalies outlined by the V.L.F. survey.

Cost ... $ 6,000.00

(2) Detailed mapping be done on the grid areas

to tie in mineralization with geology.

Cost ... $ 1,500.00

(3) Anomalies on the southern group of claims

be verified by V.L.F. and further checked

with a more sophisticated instrument if

necessary. Cost ... $ 4,000.00

Phase II: Diamond drilling if warranted be completed to:

(1) finish testing the known mineralization

(2) test anomalous zones.

Cost 2,000' @ $12.00/ft. Cost ^24,000,00

Supervision 4.000.00

LOCATION 6 ACCESSIBILITY

The property consists of 2 contiguous patented lots, one in Pacaud

Township, the other in Catherine Township.

They are unnumbered but are described as follows?

Pacaud Township S^ Lot l Con. IV 160 acres

Catherine Township S^ Lot 12 Con. IV 152 acres

The property lies approximately 14 miles southeast of the Town of

Kirkland Lake. The claims are B miles east of Highway 112. Highway 564, an all-

weather gravel road, extends easterly from Highway 112 through the village of

Boston Creek and then turns southerly to cross the centre of the property along

the Pacaud-Catherine Townships line.

GEOLOGY OF THE PROPERTY

The eastern margin of the Round Lake pluton underlies parts of Lot 12

along the western edge of the property. The Keewatin rocks occur as a steep

anticlinal belt around the granite. Grant (O.D.M. G.R. 18) has subdivided these

rocks into three stratigraphic formations, from west to east and from oldest to

youngest as follows:

A. Interbedded tuff and tuffaceous sedimentary rocks; with minor iron formation

This division lies next to the Round Lake pluton and is traversed by numerous

small dikes and sills. The total thickness is unknown, but is about 1,300 feet here.

B. Dioritic, dacitic, and andesitic lavas. Pillowed lavas are common in this division, which has a thickness of about 10,000 feet.

C. Porphyritic and aphanitic, intermediate to acid volcanic rocks, largely

pyroclastic, and agglomerate. The thickness of this division is also about

10,000 feet.

ECONOMIC GEOLOGY

Two miles to the northwest of the Warren ground copper shoots have

been mined as replacement bodies in iron formation at the contact with acid tuff,

The mineralized zones are pipe-like and of high grade (5 to 10#

copper per ton) with maximum dimensions of 50 feet in length by 5 feet in width.

Page 12: PROGRESS RPT ON THE CATHARINE-PACAUD TWP PROP · in the winter with the Winki Drill. The geophysical work did reveal some conductors on both grids, which although they do not appear

Warren, Boston Creek - 2 ~Feb. 1975

tThey appear to be localized at cross faults which cut the iron formation.

The ore consists of chalcopyrite with varying amounts of bornite,

chalcocite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Mineralization grades rapidly from massive

chalcopyrite to barren pyrite and pyrrhotite.

Within 200 feet of the Pacaud-Catherine Township line in the north

west quarter of Lot 12, Con. IV Catherine Township, the caved collar of a small

shaft can be seen with a small rock dump. Caved and flooded trenches indicate the

presence of two veins which are described by Victor A. James, Mining Engineer, in a report dated 12th July, 1929 as follows:

"The westerly vein system occurs practically on the Pacaud-Catherine

Township line, very close to the granite contact. The contact itself lies in low

ground, but has been established by diamond drilling. Granitic dykes (or small

sills) also occur along the bedding planes of the tuffs near the veins.

The veins consist of stringers of fairly massive chalcopyrite,

together with about two feet of banded pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization in

silicified tuffs. The veins follow the bedding of the tuffs and dip about 82

degrees east. Two of the main stringers are 45 feet apart. A vertical 2-compart-

ment shaft 100 feet deep was sunk on the easterly one, and 55 feet of crosscutting was done at the 100-ft. level."

FIELD PROCEDURE

A grid totalling 2 miles (8 lines 9 1,300 feet each) was centered over

the shaft which is located on line 0 + 00 approximately 250' west of the township

line in Pacaud Township. Readings were taken every 100 feet along the lines which

run approximately east-west. 110 readings were taken using the transmitter

station at Cutler, Maine.

An appendix is attached describing the VLF-JEM procedure.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

The roads separate the areas of outcrop from the overburden-covered

areas. East of the main north-south road and north of the east-west road which

crosses L 10 4- 00 S, the ground is high with much outcrop. In this area is

located the shaft and a number of pits; however, no conductors were encountered.

The balance of the property is covered by clay overburden cut by deep,

steep sided ravines. All of the conductors were located in a north-south

direction lying 100 to 300 feet west of and roughly parallel to the main road.

Overburden in this area is estimated at a minimum of 25 feet. The conductors

appear conformable with the general geology. It has been the writer's

experience that topographical conditions as exist here commonly produce a conductc

at or near the interface between the clay overburden and the rock outcrop. This

is not the case here - the conductors lie a minimum of 300 feet west of the

overburden-outcrop interface.

Because the conductive zone parallels the known mineralization it is

recommended that it be tested by more sophisticated geophysical techniques.

This is a rugged, simple to operate, ONE MAN EM unit. It can be used without line cutting and is thus ideally suited for ground location of airborne conductors and the checking out of mineral showings. This instrument utilizes higher than normal EM frequencies and is capable of detecting disseminated sulphide deposits and small sulphide bodies,, It accurately isolates banded conductors and operates through areas of high hydro noise. The method is capable of deep penetration but due to the high frequency used its penetration is limited in areas of clay and conductive overburden

The dip angle measurement detects a conductor from a considerable distance and is used primarily for locating conductors. The field strength measurement is used to define the shape and attitude of the conductor. *

A VLP-EM SURVEYON A LIMITED (HODIN LOT II CON. XVCATHERINE TOWNSHIP

DISTRICT O? lEMISKAMINQONTARIO

LOCATION t ACCESSIBILITY

The area lies in the KB 1/4 of the 8 1/2 of Lot H Con. IV, Catherine Township.

The property lies approximately 14 miles southeast of the fown of Kirkland Lake and 8 miles east of Highway 112* Highway 564, an all-weathor gravel) road, extends easterly fron Highway 112 through the village of Boston Creek and then turns southerly to parallel ths Buoaud-Catherino Townships line* Near the centre of the S 1/2 of Lot 12 Con* XV a tractor road extends northeasterly to the NE 1/4 S I/2 Lot 11 Con. XV, a distance of approximately one Rile.

GENERAL GKOLOQY

Keewatin volcanic rooks underlie most of tho aroaj immediately to the west is the Round Lake granitic pluton, with its Margin convex to tho oast* In general conformity with this margin are i (a) banded tuff, (b) basic to inter mediate lavas and intrusions, (o) Intermediate to acid fragmental rooks, and (d) coarse-grained volcanic rooks.

The Keewatin rooks were intruded first by ultrabasic to intermediate dikes snd sills, and then by numerous, small acid to intermediate, and lampro- pyriokdikes - probably r associated with the emplacement of the Round lake pluton.

*"t " : ,;; , '

QEOLQQY OF THS GRID AREA

The band of basic to intermediate lavas with intrusive* is approximately two miles wide* The flows strike northerly. The grid is oontfced on a shaft which is located on a felsic tuff horitton intercalated within the volcanic flows.

PltOCBDURE

A grid totalling 14,000 feet was out over the shaft area. From a base line (approximately north-south), 14 lines, 1000 foot in length, were out at 200 foot centres. Using Cutler, Maine as a transmitter station, a survey was conducted over the grid. Approximately 140 readings were taken*

An appendix is attached describing the VLF-SH procedure.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

Wb. 1975

The terrain is one of considerable outerop separated by Mall areas of overburden. Two streams traverse the ground*

Two conductors are considered to be worthy of further investigation by nore sophisticated geophysical teohniques* They fret(1) The conductor which crosses 1*12861143 at approximately l -f 50 west of base line and(2) the conductor which crosses X* 14 S and L 16 3 approximately 100 feet oast of base line.

The remaining four conductors are strongly suspected of being due to conductive overburden.

REPORT

on property of

MINDOKA MINES LIMITED

Boston Creek Area,

Ontario.

SUMMARY;

Property of 640 acres, five miles by road south-east

of Boston Creek Station, three-quarters of a mile east of

Mindoka station on the T. S N. 0. Railway, to which road

is being completed by Ontario Government. Power line one-

half mile to west. Motor road crosses the property.

Two known vein systems, about three-quarters of a

mile apart, both striking west of north. The west vein

system is probably a southerly continuation of the Amity

break. The limited work done so far, including a shaft

100 feet deep, 55 feet of crosscutting, and 1100 feet of

diamond drilling discloses narrow widths of high grade

chalcopyrite and some disseminated low grade ore.

The east vein is newly discovered and appears to hold

such larger possibilities. It is in fact one of the best

surface copper showings in the whole district. The break

is strong and structurally well-defined. It has already

been traced for 1500 feet and it has every appearance of

continuing much further. The property covers the strike

for over one mile.

To the Shareholders, Warren Explorations Ltd.

Your directors are pleased to submit herewith the initial report on the company's progress since incorporation.

Based on the successful completion of a financing program designed to provide $150,000 in working capital through the placement of 500,000 shares at 30(fc, a preliminary v/ork program was carried out on a 24-claim holding in Catherine and Pacaud Twps., southeast of Kirkland Lake in Northern Ontario.

These claims covered a high-grade surface showing of copper mineralization with supplementary silver values. Your company's program involved geophysical work, limited drilling, and supporting surface work. Two shallow holes were completed, following which work was suspended for the winter months. Drilling will be resumed later to check out some geophysical features.

More recently, and in reflection of the high interest generated by drill-hole confirmation of a new uranium potential in the Sandfly Lake district northwest of Lac LaRonge in Saskatchewan, your company has acquired a 60-claim property to the south of the Thor Explorations discovery group, on which Noranda Mines and Brascan De velopment are financing and conducting an extensive ex ploration program .

The Warren ground lies on strike of the discovery zone, and within the favourable meta-sedimentary belt, The discovery group attracted attention when an extensive assembly of boulders in which encouraging uranium values were obtained were located over an area some 5,000 ft. in length and 300 ft. in width. The Noranda-Brascan team, in their initial diamond drilling, reported an intersection of 3.52 Ibs. U308 over a core length of 13.3 ft.

A field program for the VJarren ground is now being considered, and shareholders will be advised of developments,

INTRODUCTION'In the early 1920's the Boston Creek Area was actively prospected for

gold and a limited production was obtained from two properties.

In 1926 copper vras discovered' along a zone extending southeasterly for

2-J, miles from the Village of Boston Creek. Between 192? and 1930 a limited

production was obtained by underground development of three properties.

Similar rocks extend in a semicircular belt along the periphery of the

granite through Catherine Township and contain a number of known gold and copper

showings.

During 1974 Jonpol Explorations Limited purchased the property for

^6,000.00 cash and a yfa royalty based on net smelter returns to a maximum of one

million dollars, thereafter the royalty will be reduced to 2# of net smelter

returns. Jonpol Explorations Limited are vending the property to Warren

Explorations for a stock consideration.

The property covers the favourable copper bearing horizon and is

considered a base metal prospect.

Tlie property consists of 2 contiguous patented lots, one in Pacaud

Township, the other in Catherine Township.

They are unnumbered but are described as follows: -ri Pacaud Township Sg Lot l Con. IV 160 acres

Catherine Township S| Lot 12 Con. IV 152 acres

The property lies approximately 14 miles southeast of the Town of

Kirkland Lake. The claims are 8 miles east of Highway 112, Highway 564, an all-

weather gravel road., extends easterly from Highway 112 through the village of

Boston Creek and then turns southerly to cross the centre of the property along

the Pacaud-Catherine Townships line.

A high tension power line of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission,

and the Ontario Northland Railway are located about 3/4 of a mile southwest of the

property. The railroad is accessible by an all-weather gravel road, the distance

from the property being three miles.

GEHKPJVL GEOLOGY

Keev.-atin volcanic rocks underlie most of the areaj immediately to the

west is the Hound Lake granitic pluton, with its margin convex to the east. In

eneral conformity vtith this margin are: (a) banded tuff, (b) basic to inter

mediate lavas and intrusions, (c) intermediate to acid fragmental rocks, and (d)

coarse-grained volcanic rocks.

The Keewatin rocks were intruded first by ultrabasic to intermediate

dikes and sills, and then by numerous, small acid to intermediate, and lampro

phyric dikes - probably associated with the emplacement of the Round Lake pluton.

JEOLOGY OF THE PROPERTY

The eastern margin of the Round Lake pluton underlies parts of Lot 12

along the western edge of the property. The Keewatin rocks occur as a steep

anticlinal belt around the granite. Grant (O.D.M, G.R. 18) has subdivided these

rocks into three stratigraphic formations, from west to east and from oldest to

youngest as follows:

A. Interbedded tuff and tuffaceous sedimentary rocksj with minor iron formation.

This division lies next to the Round Lake pluton and is traversed by numerous

small dikes and sills. The total thickness is unknown, but is about 1,300 feet

here,

B. Dioritic, dacitic, and andesitic lavas. Pillowed lavas are common in this

division, which has a thickness of about 10,000 feet.

Page 42: PROGRESS RPT ON THE CATHARINE-PACAUD TWP PROP · in the winter with the Winki Drill. The geophysical work did reveal some conductors on both grids, which although they do not appear

I'/urren Kxplcration, Boeton Creek

C. Porphyritic and aphanitic, intermediate to acid volcanic rocks, largely

pyroclastic, and agglomerate. The thickness of this division is also about

10,000 feet.

Thus the following sequence of rocks exists across the property from

;est to east:

1) a north south strip of granite ~ 1/2 mile wide being the edge of the pluton

2) a belt of interbedded tuff and tuffaceous sediments, 1/4 mile wide, striking

jortherly with steep easterly dips

3) a band, 2 miles wide, of basic lavas with similar strike and dips 0

A basic sill some 500 feet in v;idth parallels the granite contact

jithin the basic volcanics and forms the east boundary of the property. It is a

dark grey, medium grained quartz gabbro.

Minor amounts of Keweenawan diabase and Algoman syenite, quartz

porphyry arid lamprophyre occur as small irregular intrusions or dikes*

A number of faults extend radially to the east from the granite

Dluton into the Warren ground. :

SCONCMIC CPJOLOGY OF THE AREA

- 3 ~ July, 1972,

Two miles to the northwest of the Warren ground copper shoots have beei

nined as replacement bodies in iron formation at the contact with acid tuff.

The mineralized zones are pipe-like and of high grade (5 to 10^ copper

per ton) with maximum dimensions of 50 feet in length by 5 feet in width. They

appear to be localized at cross faults which cut the iron formation.

The ore consists of chalcopyrite v/ith varying amounts of bornite,

chalcocite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Mineralization grades rapidly from massive

halcopyrite to barren pyrite and pyrrhotite.

Three adjoining properties, the Amity, the Patterson and the Trethewey-

Ossian, were explored by underground development. Some stoping was done and limit'

tonnages of direct anelting copper ores were shipped to Noranda during the 1920's.

Since that time, these three properties have been leased and a small

amount of high grade (5# ~ 10#) copper has been salvaged. Limited drilling has

been done on some of these properties.

ECONOMIC GEOLOGY OF THE PROPERTY l , ,

Within 200 feet of the Pacaud-Catherine Township line in the northwest

quarter of Lot 12, Con. IV Catherin Township, the caved collar of a small shaft

can be seen v/ith a small rock dump. Caved and flooded trenches indicate the

presence of two veins which are described by Victor A. James, Mining Engineer, in

Page 43: PROGRESS RPT ON THE CATHARINE-PACAUD TWP PROP · in the winter with the Winki Drill. The geophysical work did reveal some conductors on both grids, which although they do not appear

arren Explorations, Boston Creek~ 4 -

July, 1974

, report dated 12th July, 1929 as follows:

"The westerly vein system occurs practically on the Pacaud-Catherine

ownship line, very close to the granite contact. The contact itself lies in low

round, but has been established by diamond drilling. Granitic dykes (or small

sills) also occur along the bedding planes of the tuffs near the veins.

The veins consist of stringers of fairly massive chalcopyrite, together

;ith about two feet of banded pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization in silicified

uffs e The veins follow the bedding of the tuffs and dip about S2 degrees east.

Two of the nain stringers are 45 feet apart. A vertical 2~corapartment shaft 100

feet deep was sunk on the easterly one, and 55 feet of crosscutting was done at

he 100-ft. level. These workings are now under water and the information below,

obtained from the superintendent in charge, is given as a matter of record.

Two drift rounds on the vein from the west crosscut showed 4# copper

over a width of 4 feet and 5# copper over 4 feet.

Four diamond drill holes were also put down. Three of these disclosed onditions ranging from mineralization to ore. The best hole showed 21 inches of

ore, representing 10y plus inches true width, of massive chalcopyrite assaying

2I?3 copper. A ?0-degree hole cut 6 feet of vein matter assaying 2.6# copper.

In general,,it may be said that this depth exploration slightly

bettered the condition appearing on surface, but the dimensions established to

date are rather too small to constitute an economic deposit,"

Frank W. Hughes, B.Se., Mining Engineer, in a report on the copper

properti.es of the Boston Creek Area dated l?th November, 1955, described the

lindoka property as follows:

"Mindoka Mines; Shaft 115 ft.- one level established. 3 D.D. holes

from surface. D.D, Hole #1 intersected 18" true vddth massive chalcopyrite at

vertical depth of 250 ft. D.D. holes #243, along strike for an overall lengthi

of 400 ft. intersected 2" to 3" stringers of chalcopyrite over 6 to 7 ft. at

vertical depth of 250 ft. Previous operators shipped to Noranda in 1929: 225 tons

of S?3 copper."

INCLUSIONS St RECOMMENDATIONS

The property has been idle since 1929. Consequently caving, flooding

and the overgrowth of brush and trees has obliterated almost all evidence of the

two known veins. However there is no doubt that Mr. James and Mr* Hughes are

describing the occurrences on the Warren ground.

Work to date on the Boston Creek copper belt has produced small, rich

pipe-like bodies of copper mineralization. However, this does not preclude the

possibilities of finding zones of rich mineralization of a size to permit economic

xtracvtion. The geology is favourable and the physical features, such as good

road access, close proximity to rail shipping facilities and smelter, operations

(Koranda, Quebec) are distinct advantages in the successful mining of small or

large ore bodies.

In 1970 an airborne Questor Mark MKV input survey was flown over the

area by Moncrieff Uranium Mines Limited. Mo conductors were reported on the Warrer

ground but a re-exanination of the flight tapes is recommended. The Warren ground

was not held by Moncrieff, consequently little attention may have been given to

this portion of the survey.

It is further recommended that:

(i) Lines be cut at 200 foot centres across the Catherine half of the property

(ii) Lines be cut at 400 ft. centres across the Pacaud half of the property

(iii) A magnetometer Si a VLF survey be completed over the property
