1.0 INTRODUCTION
During the periods of June 1 to June 20 (2005), August 6 to August 15 (2005), and September 10 (2006), North American Palladium Ltd. personnel conducted a prospecting program on the Tyko property. The purpose of the prospecting program was to evaluate the property for base metal and PGM potential and to do ground follow-up on an airborne magnetic/electro-magnetic survey.
In January 2006, a 29.1 km grid was cut on the west part of the Tyko property. An IP survey was then completed throughout the grid. This was followed by a 711 m diamond drilling program to evaluate the Main Tyko Showing and an IP anomaly coincident with the RJ Showing.
2.0 LOCATION AND ACCESS
The Tyko property is located approximately 25km southeast of the city of Manitouwadge (Fig. 1). It is located within NTS 42C/13NW and 42C/14NE, in UTM zone 16 (Nad 83), and is centred at approximately 606,300mE and 5,421,500mN.
There is no direct road access to the property. In summer the central portion is only accessible by helicopter or by floatplane to Pickle Lake. A camp was set up at the west end of Peanut Lake and an outpost camp on Pickle Lake (operated by White River Air) was also used. In the winter months, the property can be accessed by travelling southeast on the Twist road from Manitouwadge. At 31.0 km, tum east on the Garnham Lake road to a winter trail that heads south at the 5.0 km mark on the Garnham Lake road. One may also continue to the 36 km point on the Twist road and tum left onto a 3.1 km snow machine trail that leads directly to Pickle Lake.
Parts of the eastern portion of the property can be accessed by heading north on the North Regan road off of Hwy 17 (25 km west of White River). Another road is found at the left at approximately the 42km point and heads west toward the property. This road crosses the Shabotik River at the 5.8km point, continue on and tum left at the 15.0 km point. This road continues to the southwest and approaches the eastern most claims at the 26.5 km point.
3.0 CLAIM HOLDINGS AND PROPERTY DISPOSITION
The property consists of 25 claims in good standing, totalling 140 claim units located in Olga Lake Area (0-604), within the Thunder Bay Mining District. A claim sketch outlining the property is given in figure 2.
A summary of the claim holdings is provided below (Table 1). The claims are registered in the name of Lac des lIes Mines Ltd. (710 Norah Cr., Thunder Bay, Ont, P7C 4T8). Lac des lIes Mines Ltd. is a wholly owed subsidiary of North American Palladium Ltd.
1989- Noranda Exploration Co. Ltd: conducted a large-scale, Aerodat helicopter-borne magnetometer and EM survey that included much of the Manitouwadge, eastern Schreiber-Hemlo, and Dayohessarah greenstone belts.
1999- Prospecting of the Tyko area by Brian Mealey and Ian Spence resulted in the discovery of the Main Tyko Cu-Ni-PGE Showing in October 1999. The discovery samples contained 4528 ppm Cu, 6896 ppm Ni, 1085 ppb Pd, and 840 ppb Pt (Spence, 1999).
1999- Samples taken by an OGS Resident Geologist contained 3.82% Ni, 0.86% Cu, 624 ppb Pd and 444 ppb Pt (Schneiders, 2000).
1999 to 2000- Freewest Resources Canada Inc. optioned the property in late 1999. A helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed by AEROQUEST Ltd. A grid was cut and separate IP surveys were completed by GEOSIG Inc. and JVX Inc. Geological mapping, prospecting and hand trenching was completed in the summer of 2000 (Spence, 2000; MacTavish, 2000).

5.0 PROSPECTING
A prospecting program was carried out from June 1 to June 20, and August 6 to August 15, 2005, and September 10, 2006 to investigate magnetic and electro-magnetic anomalies. Samples were taken of mostly mafic and ultramafic rocks. A list of samples (Map la and b) and the associated assays are presented in Appendix III. The prospecting in 2005 resulted in the discovery of Ni-Cu-bearing frost heave boulders towards the northwest of the property, which was later termed the RJ Showing. A daily log of the prospecting completed is presented in Appendix IV. Assay certificates for the prospecting samples are presented in Appendix V.
6.0 GEOLOGY
The Tyko property sits within an area that has seen very little government mapping or historic exploration. It is located within the English River Subprovince, which is part of the larger Superior Province. Regional-scale mapping by Milne (1968) indicated that the rocks in the area were predominantly granitic. The composition of the granitic rocks varies from granodiorite to quartz monzonite to tonalite.
Prospecting and mapping by Spence (2000) indicated that the granites contain numerous mafic to ultramafic xenoliths or fragments, some of which are mineralized. These xenoliths are most visible at the Tyko Main Showing and can be subdivided into groups. The most important are medium to coarse grained, dark green ultramafics and mafics that vary in composition from hornblendite to biotite hornblendite to hornblende gabbro. These are not always mineralized, but are host to the vast majority of Ni-Cu mineralization seen on the property. Sulphide mineralization within these rocks varies from fine-grained disseminated to coarse grained blebby. Macroscopically, the sulphides consist mostly of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite with lesser pyrite. The second group of xenoliths are referred to simply as amphibolites and are typically fine-grained, black to grey, weakly to moderately foliated, with small bladed amphiboles and a variable felsic mineral content. These rocks are usually barren except for minor amounts of pyrite. The mafic-ultramafic body intersected at the RJ Showing is quite large and may be considered an intrusive body as opposed to a large "raft" in the granites.
Diabase dykes are found throughout the property and are readily identified on airborne magnetic surveys. Some appear in the mapping completed by Milne (1968). Interpretation of the magnetic maps combined with reconnaissance mapping indicates that the dykes are relatively subvertical with strike orientations that vary from northsouth, east-north-east and east-west.
Reconnaissance mapping was completed through much of the property at 1 :5000 scale (Map 2). Outcrop exposure is variable, but it was found that most of the granitic rocks on the property contain variable amounts of mafic xenoliths. However, the granites immediately north of the RJ Showing contain very few, if any, mafic or ultramafic xenoliths. Detailed mapping of the Main Tyko Showing was completed at 1 :200 scale to highlight the distribution of the mineralization and document small structural features (Map 3). Of interest at the Main Tyko Showing are the xenoliths of mafic rocks within
6
the granitic hosts and the numerous later granitic dykes that crosscut all of the older rocks.
7.0 LINE CUTTING
In January of 2006, Nord Ouest Exploration Inc. was contracted by North American Palladium Ltd. to cut a grid on the west section of the Tyko property. Using a chain and compass, a total of 29.1 km of line was cut with a baseline orientation of N49°E to tie-in with the existing grid over the Main Tyko Showing. Most of the grid was cut at 100m-line spacing, but in the area over the RJ Showing the line spacing was reduced to 50m. The grid was cut in order to carry out an Induced Polarization (lP) survey.
8.0 GEOPHYSICS
From January 28 to February 12 of 2006, an Induced Polarization (lP) survey was completed by GEOSIG INC., a consulting firm in geophysics. The survey was done over a total of 26 line kilometres with the purpose of detecting disseminated sulphide mineralization within the area of interest. The results of the survey are presented in a report by Tshimbalanga (2006) in Appendix VI.
9.0 DIAMOND DRILLING
A diamond-drilling program was undertaken between March 6 and March 31, 2006 to further investigate Ni-Cu mineralization at the Main Tyko Showing and at the newly discovered RJ Showing in the northern part of the property. Both of these targets have coincident geophysical (lP conductivity) signatures.
Two holes were drilled on the Main Tyko Showing and three holes were drilled on the RJ Showing. Each drill hole intercepted variable amounts of Ni-Cu mineralization and were successful in further defining geological contacts of the mafic intrusives. Selected highlights of the drill program are shown below in Table 2. A plan of the drilling is shown in Map 4 and cross-sections of each of the 5 holes are found in the back pocket (TK-06-00 1 to TK-06-005). Diamond drill logs for each of the holes are presented in Appendix VII. Assay certificates for drill hole sampling of the respective holes are presented in Appendix VIII.

The prospecting and mapping program in 2005 was successful in identifying a previously unknown mineralized zone (RJ Showing) towards the northwest part of the property. The RJ Showing consisted only of frost heave boulders with no outcrop. The subsequent IP geophysical survey completed in 2006 proved to be very useful in delineating a fairly large ultramafic to mafic body within the enclosing granitic rocks.
The three drillholes on the RJ Showing confirmed the presence of a mineralized mafic-ultramafic body, which has proven to be host to the most significant base metal mineralization on the property. The two drill holes on the Main Tyko Showing successfully intercepted sulphide mineralization.
It is recommended that more prospecting be completed to find similar maficultramafic bodies. Also more drilling should be completed on the RJ Showing to delineate the full strike length and depth of the mineralized body.

4. INDUCED POLARIZATION (IP) SURVEY
4.1 Purpose of the IP survey An IP survey is usually done in order to detect conductive and/or polarizable materials such as sulfides or graphite. Therefore, the survey consists in measuring the chargeability (M) and the apparent resistivity (R) along the grid lines surveyed.
Theoretically, the resistivity map should pinpoint conductive sulfides or graphite bodies. In reality, resistivity maps usually reflect variations in the conductivity and thickness of the overburden. The chargeability (M) measurements do allow the detection of sulfides or graphite bodies, either massive or disseminated, as the overburden seldom if ever shows any chargeability.
In areas of variable overburden conductivity, chargeability "anomalies", even over massive sulfide bodies, are subdued where the surface conductivities are high. Readings may be lower over sulfide bodies covered by clays (as low as 3 msec) than over non-mineralized but highly resistive volcanic outcrops (10 to 20 msec). To interpret an IP survey with such variations, both sets of measurements, chargeability and resistivity, must therefore be studied together. This is why we prepared normalized chargeability (NC) maps as they better reflect the actual distribution of sulfides and other polarizable materials. Resistivity and raw chargeability maps are also presented.
4.2 Procedure and instruments The IP survey was performed in the time domain mode with a standard waveform: 2 seconds ON, 2 seconds OFF. We used a pole-dipole configuration, with a=25m electrode spacing, and readings were taken at every separation (n=l, 2, 3, 3, 5 and 6).
Steel pin electrodes were used for the receiver and the transmitter. On the receiver electrode spreads, stainless steel pin electrodes were used in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The following equipment was used:
Receiver: Elrec-6 built by IRISIBROM, sin 108
Transmitter: T3P 217 1,8 kW built by Instrumentation ODD Inc.
CiEOSICi Inc.

The receiver read out chargeability (M) within 0.1 msec on ten windows, which were added up with the following formula:
NORMALIZED IP CURVE (Newmont standard IP decay curve):
N = (16OM I K l + 16OM2K2 + 16OM3K3 + 16OM3K3 + 160MsKS + 160M6~ + 160M7K7 + 160Mg Kg + 16OM9~ + 16OMI0KI0) /1600.
4.3 Presentation of results The results of the survey are represented at a 1:2 500 scale. On map no. 7908, we plotted the three profiles at the following scales:
Chargeabili ty (M) Surface resistivity (R)
20 msec/cm Logarithmic scale:
1 to 1 000 000 a-m, 2 decades per cm 1000 a-meters centered on the line
Normalized chargeability (NC) 10 mhosec/cm
The localization of IP anomalies is mostly based on the shape of the NC profiles, which were calculated from M and R with the following formula:
NC R
where: NC R M Vp I a n 9,58
= =
9,58 * MI-..JR 2 * 1t * a * n (n+1) * Vp/l
= normalized chargeability, mhosec = apparent surface resistivity, a-meters = chargeability read on the receiver display, msec. = voltage between receiver electrodes, mvolts = current transmitted, milli-amperes = electrode spacing, meters = number of separations = normalization factor
We gave the name of mhosec to the normalized chargeability as It IS obtained by mUltiplying the conductivity (I/R) measured in mhos by the chargeability (milliseconds), or mhosec. By combining those two parameters, we created the new name, mhosec.
The results are shown as profiles of the first separation on map no. 7908. The resistivity, chargeability and the normalized chargeability, also at the first separation, have been contoured and they respectively appear on maps no. 7909, 7910 and 7911. The six separations are presented as color contoured pseUdo-sections at the 1:2 500 scale. The interpretation of the IP survey is based on the pseudo-sections, which was then transferred on the profiles.

4.4 Usefulness of the Normalized Chargeability An IP survey consists in measuring the apparent resistivity and chargeability between four electrodes in order to predict the distribution of sulfides and other polarizable materials such as graphite. From those two parameters, we calculate the Normalized Chargeability (NC) using the formulas mentioned above. In areas of variable overburden conductivity, the application of the NC filter compensates for the high background chargeability observed in areas of high resistivity (outcrops or outcrops covered by very thin overburden) or the extremely low background chargeability observed in areas of swamps and conductive overburden.
The purpose of the exercise is to refine the NC so that a given mass of sulfides is represented by an anomaly of at least approximately the same amplitude, whatever the nature and depth of the surface overburden.
4.5 Probability of IP anomalies In an attempt to clarify our reports, we add one parameter to the description of each anomaly. In geophysics, we may express the probability that a bedrock source anomaly exists. Here is an explanation of that parameter we will use to better describe the anomalies of our surveys:
- A 0.9 probability indicates that the anomaly is actually present in the bedrock and that it will be intersected in more than nine out of ten attempted drill holes. A miss on such an anomaly means that there is either a mistake in chaining, or that the drill hole crossed the anomaly through a dyke, a faulted offset, or a local "barren" hole. Anyone with experience in a mine will testify that such occurrences can occasionally happen.
- A 0.5 probability means that the signature of the anomaly is somewhat doubtful, the signal-to-noise ratio is less than 3, either because the overburden is deep or because of the interference of an adjacent stronger anomaly. The probability that the anomaly corresponds to a target is therefore lowered to a point where only one in two of such drill holes will hit a target. For example, if a target is small but of cylindrical shape, a drill hole collared too far away may completely miss the anomaly if the cylinder has a lateral rake. Any target having a 0.5 probability should be drilled if the local geology is favorable or if targets are few or far between. Out of the thousands of drill holes that we have recommended up to now, only six have resulted in mining operations. For three out of these six mines, the first drill hole was spotted on a doubtful anomaly where the probability was about 0.5 or, in other words, there was only one chance out of two to explain the anomaly by a bedrock source. And yet, most DDH are drilled on anomalies that have a probability of 0.9.
CiEOSICi Inc.
6.
- A 0.2 probability means that, on the average, only one drill hole in five will intersect a sulfide concentration important enough to explain the anomaly. It is often much better to drill such weak IP anomalies if the geology is favorable than to select diamond drill targets at random, or even to select magnetic anomalies or VLF targets. When comparing targets for example, we believe that the probability is much less than 0.1, that an "average" magnetic anomaly will correspond to sulfides or graphite and, if we consider VLF anomalies in clay areas, the probability is lower than 0.05, or hardly better than luck. However, VLF anomalies where the overburden is resistive may be just as reliable as MaxMin or Pulse surveys in outcrop areas, or where the overburden is non conducti ve.
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE IP SURVEY
5.1 Itesistivity The apparent resistivity on this area varies from 105 a-m to 57 000 a-m. As mentioned earlier, the resistivity maps usually reflect variations in the conductivity and thickness of the overburden. However, the variation of the resistivity on an IP survey is also often associated with the different types of rocks where the overburden is shallow.
The color-contoured map of resistivity shows mostly high resistivity areas (> 7 OOOa-meters) crossed by thin lower resistivity areas characterized by resistivity lower than 5000 a-meters. These high resistivity areas are bordered by lower ones (> 2000 a-meters) to the northwest, to the southwest and the southeast. In the present case, high resistivity areas generally correspond to higher lands and low resistivity areas to lower ones.
5.2 Chargeability The background value on the color contour map of chargeability (7910) is around 4 millisecondes in high resistivity areas and lower than 2 milliseconds in lower resistivity areas. The most predominant feature on the chargeability color contour map is the presence of a 150 meters wide major high chargeability area that runs through L6+50El4+25N to L8+OOE/O+75N. This northwest-southeast oriented IP body has a weaker extension toward the southeast up to LlO+00El1 +OOS. All the significant IP anomalies are contained in this high chargeability area.

5.3 Normalized chargeability The background NC value varies from 0.3 to 0.4 mhosec. Generally, with such low reference levels, even small amounts of sulfides give a clear anomaly. The individual anomalies are described in the table below.
5.4 Description of IP anomalies and discussion of results A total of 8 anomalies have been identified and described in this survey. Most of them have a northwest-southeast trend and their intensity ranges from weak to high IP values. For the interpretation, Geosig Inc. used only the actual IP survey for the correlation from line to line of the IP anomalies but, alternate interpretations are also possible. Interpretation should eventually be modified and improved with available geological information.
In the priority given in the description table, only the geophysical characteristics are considered. Determination of drilling targets priorities requires that all available geological and other information must be considered.
A major part of anomalies in this survey present a complex pattern due to an intermixing or overlapping of nearby anomalies. An alternate model could better reflect the reality than the one proposed.
IP anomalies in this area, are generally associated to highly resistive formations. Therefore, stripping and trenching are recommended on resistive areas where the bedrock is outcropping or near the surface. Drilling is recommended over IP anomalies corresponding to lower resistivity areas. The annexed table summarizes the main characteristics of the anomalies of this survey.

7. CONCLUSION
This geophysical campaign gave interesting information about this Property.
The IP survey led to the detection and description of several anomalies. All of them (except one) are contained in the same high chargeability zone. Although not all IP anomalies will lead to economic discoveries, the results obtained in this area make this method one of the best with regard to the quality of targets versus prospecting costs. Stripping and trenching are recommended as they could explain most of the anomalies. Drilling is recommended on strong IP anomalies that could not be explained by stripping and on all IP anomalies also corresponding to good geological targets.

A fairly massive and speckled looking unit of greenish hornblende containing biotite booklets that cause the speckled appearance. As a whole, the unit is 60-70% hbl and 30-40% bioitite. The biotite is very common along fractures and joints. Very soft rock and well jointed at approximately 45 degrees to core axis. Trace to minor disseminated sulfides in the form of pyrite and chalcopyrite and possibly pyrrhotite. Very weak local magnetism.
7.30 - 8.05m: tonalite This is likely the matrix to a large breccia. This felsic section is white to pink in colour and contains little mafics. Only 15% of this rock type is fine biotite. No sulphides.

This unit is made up of an older and younger series of felsics. The older is a grey coloured fine-grained tonalite with a well defined foliation at 45 degrees to ca. This tonalite is approx 45% fine biotite, 25% qtz and 30% white feldspars with local orange k-spar. This tonalite has been later intruded by a more felsic-rich orange coloured granite. This granitic material contains much more k-spar and is variable in grain-size. The contacts of the intruding granitic material from 9.02 to 9.67m are fine-grained and coarsen inward to pegmatitic. Large smokey-grey qtz is marbled throughout the pegmatitic material.
11.0 - 11 .32m is a section with 0.25% chalcopyrite associated with thin mafic stringers within a granitic section.
10.51 - 1 0.64m: amphibolite/mica schist -intensely schistose and very soft -upper 2.5cm is 99% biotite and 1 % pyrite with the lower -1 Ocm only 45% biotite and no sulphides.
This unit is predominantly a hornblendite like that mentioned above, with sections of tonalite and downhole is a mineralized slightly finer-grained hornblendite.

The upper 2m of this section is moderate to strongly magnetic and richer in sulphide than the unit above. This section contains very soft hornblende and serpentine with very little biotite. Sulfides in this area are very finely disseminated with local blebs that reach 0.5cm in diameter. Pyrite appears most abundant, followed by visible chalcopyrite and very fine pyrrhotite. It is evident that the chalcopyrite present is closely related to the intrusion of felsic material and presence of quartz.
From 13.0 - 17.4m is a section of the hornblendite with variable alteration and less mineralization. Here the rock has variable magnetization as well biotite content. Where the biotite is more abundant, the rock is softer, greener, less magnetic and in closer proximity to felsic intrusives. The less altered portions resemble an altered norite with rounded hbl grains.
Well mineralized green hornblendite that when wet is black in colour. The mineralization is disseminated from 10-15% from 17.4 to 20.78m. The disseminations vary from 0.5mm to 1.5cm in diameter and consist of chalcopyrite, pyrite and less pyrrhotite. Below from 20.78 to 22.35 the mineralization is more sporadic and basically confined to a 22.15 to 22.20m. Within this mineralized section are injections of tonalite and aplite that break the continuity of the mineralization. Due to the amount of felsic injections, it appears as though the ultramafics are

This breccia is a fine-grained amphibolite and local medium-grained diorite that has been intruded and brecciated by tonalite to form the matrix of this injection breccia. The contacts are very sharp and distinct and often cut core at 45 degrees. The tonalite varies like above from a well foliated mafic-rich rock to a younger felsic-rich coarser-grained assemblage of pinkish k-spar and grey qtz. The matix is approximately 50% of the unit but increases slightly downhole to approximately 65%. The amphibolite clasts are very fine to fine-grained and green in colour with a strong schistose foliation of 50 degrees to core axis. The tightly foliated amphiboles can be seen wrapping around small intrusions. The diorite clasts are massive and locally resemble a fine to medium-grained gabbro with minor qtz. Where the amphibolite has been heavily intruded and strongly foliated, a gneissic texture is resembled.

and occasional hornblendite clasts. The clast sizes range from 5cm to 2m. The contacts are still very sharp and distinct. The amphibolite clasts are fine-grained and the grains are shiny and glissen. No gneissic looking banding here. No sulphides in either mafic or felsic material.
Moderate to strongly foliated unit of shiny and cooked up amphibolite. Throughout are sections of gneissic banding. The amphiboles are approximately 0.5mm in diameter with an orientation of 40-45 degrees to core axis. Most of the unit is non-magnetic with local areas of strong magnetism associated with fine pyrite +1- pyrrhotite mineralization. Finely disseminated sulphides occur between 81.18 and 86.0m with the most abundant found from 81.70 to 83.4m up to 0.25% locally. Apple green epidote alteration is sporadically dispersed throughout, more so associated in close proximity to felsic intrusions. Small tonalitic intrusions cross-cut the core, varying in size from 5cm to 1 m along with small veinlets and stringers that wisp through the amphibolite. Strong epidote along fracture planes.

Similar to the breccia unit above with extremely altered and cooked ultramafics broken up by the injection of the tonalite. The tonalitic material is generally coarser-grained than above and contains more pink/orange k-spar. Pegmatitic sections and veinlets are found breaking the hornblendites and amphibolites. Contacts are sharp and the breccia is approximately 50:50 matrix to xenolith. Fracturing common with minor epidote. The xenoliths vary in size from cm to m scale and lithology from fine-grained shiny amphibolite to medium-grained hornblendite. The clasts are found both massive and strongly foliated with no sulfides. Non-magnetic throughout.

diffuse grain boundaries, making it hard to see individual grains. The rock is moderately soft and non-magnetic except for areas of mineralization. Strong alteration to chlorite, mica and minor serpentine. Mica is common in areas of fracturing and felsic intrusions. Sulfides are found sporadically throughout but increasing downhole towards to base of the unit. Pyrite mineralization is dominant and found as fine disseminations and well as net-textured. Chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite are found as blebs and fine disseminations, with the chalcopyrite being more abundant. Also, small chalcopyrite stringers are present in and around felsic vein lets. The chalcopyrite is very often along margins/contacts of hornblendite with felsic veins and stringers. The mineralization is more sporadic in the upper 8m but increases in the lower 3.5m to an average of 2-3%. Here the mineralization is mainly blebby with some fine disseminations. The last 25cm of this unit from 30.59 to 30.84m is net-textured pyrite + cpy + po at approximately 95%, 4% and 1 % respectively.

Unit is a mixture of different felsic intrusives along with inclusions locally of hornblendite and amphibolite. The first 1 m of this unit contains mineralized xenoliths of the hornblendite above with 40% pyrite + cpy +/- po. These clasts are 20cm long and sit in a felsic-rich granite with only 5% hbl and a soft orange/white felsic groundmass. Starting at approx 35m the granite changes to a coarser-grained assemblage of plag and k-spar (50:50) along with needle-like hbl and semi-transparent to transparent quartz. The feldspars are up to 1 .5cm in diameter with interstitial quartz and smaller black hbl. At around 41 m the granite changes to a classic pink/red medium-grained massive granite, containing clasts of fine-grained green amphibolite and veinlets of recrystalled quartz.
Lower contact is at a healed fault and based upon large increase in amphibolite xenoliths.

Fine-grained green foliated amphiboles and abundant biotite make this unit considerably different from above. The biotite content is as much as 70% locally, with an average of approximately 45%. This intense alteration is likely due to its close proximity to the intruding granite. A slight foliation is evident at 65-70 degrees to core axis that is not present in the hornblendite above.

Similar to the mineralized hornblendite above, but this unit is distinguished by a lack of sulphide, lighter green colour, extensive k-spar alteration, coarser grain size and lack of abundant biotite. Numerous pinkish feldspar sweats found throughout, typically medium to coarse grained, make up about 5-10% of the unit. The hornblende has a mottled appearance, likely due to the pervasive chlorite alteration, many of the grains have a recrystallized appearance. The rock is non-magnetic and is more altered in areas where the core is broken.

Assemblage of altered hornblende, biotite and amphibole with an average sulphide content of 2%. It is subtle and hard to see, but it appears that anastomizing wisps of biotite along with the mineralization appear to be wrapping around large amphibole. The mineralization is both disseminated and blebby with the latter being the less abundant. Pyrrhotite is the abundant sulphide with a 3:1 ratio with chalcopyrite. In the blebs, it is evident that the chalcopyrite is rimming the perimeter of the pyrrhotite. Sharp lower contact with granite below.

This unit is basically a pinkish white, unfoliated granite containing mylonite rafts of various sizes. The granite is felsic-rich with only approximately 15-20% hbl. The rafts of mylonite are strongly foliated and vary from mafic-rich layers to felsic-rich layers with local porpyritic sections. Contacts within the mylonite are moderate to diffuse. Minor pyrite with fractures in the mylonite. The unit is approximately 65% mylonite and 35% granite with the last 10m of the unit being 90% granite.
