All the assessment work was performed on claim # 1160896 (formerly claim # 1149700). Overburden was stripped away until stone was visible in three areas. Newly stripped area totals 1.5 hectares. The stripped areas all fall within the 5 year boundary line of the quarry plan. (Please see sketch #1) The first area is located on the west side of the quarry access road and is approximately .49 hectares in size. The overburden was pushed into a berm ringing the stripped area. The second area is located on the east side of the quarry road and is approximately .07 hectares in size. The overburden was piled around the stripping. The third area is located to the west and north of the original ledge and is approximately .94 hectares in size. Part of the overburden was pushed into a berm on the west and north side and part was piled into two piles towards the middle of the stripping. On the surface, the stone uncovered from the recent stripping in all locations appears to have the same color and crystal structure as the granite we have been quarrying on the active ledge, as well as the granite uncovered during last years stripping. A total of twelve - ten hour days was spent removing the overburden from the three sites. The project started on August 3, 1998 and was completed on August 14, 1998. The only piece of equipment used for this work was a 60,000 Ib 325 Catapillar backhoe with a l yard bucket. Cost for stripping was SSS.OO/hour @ 120 hours, equaling S10,200.00 US. Cost to ship backhoe in and out was S3,000.00 US for a total of S13,200.00 US. There was no further cleaning of the stripped ledge, this will be completed as necessary. Test holes were drilled at seven different locations to determine color (Please see sketch #2). The equipment used was a Boart Longyear air drill system. Seven l .6 inch diameter holes were vertically drilled to a depth of 20 feet. Core samples were too small in diameter to get a real good indication of what is happening with the granite to twenty feet. What was learned from the samples is that the granite still appears to be similar in color and texture throughout the seven locations. However, when blocks are extracted we see variation in color and texture. Quarry operators see lots of waves or movement, light and dark shades and irregular crystals going from small to large. The average absorption is at Q.16%, the average compressive strength is 20,400 psi and the average flexural strength is 1,200 psi. It is thought that as the quarry progresses to the south, we will move into more uniform granite. More core samples are planned for the upcoming year to help determine this. Cost to drill the core samples was S6,100.00 CAD. The work started on October 2, 1998 and was complete on October 5, 1998.

At this time I am submitting a report for only the most recent developmental work performed at the Royal Auburn quarry for your review. I am doing this so I can ensure that claims coming due at the end of this month are covered in time. At a later date I will be submitting a Declaration of Assessment Work Performed report for developmental work that was done on this claim in 1996 and 1997.

The 45 days outlined in the Notice dated April 7, 1999 have passed.
Assessment work credit has been approved as outlined on the attached Distribution of Assessment Work Credit sheet.
The assessment credit is being reduced by 37128.00. The TOTAL VALUE of assessment credit that will be allowed, based on the information provided in this submission, is 819,300. The approved amount represents stripping cost of 310,200.00, mobe and demobilization costs of 33000.00 and the drilling cost of 36100.00. Note that the costs were approved at Industry Standards meaning that the costs would be similar to another company doing similar work in the Kenora Mining Division.
