1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Geographic and Physiographic Position
The two aforementioned study areas are located on the Quintette Coal Limitedproperty as indicated on the attached index map. Generally the Quintette Trendarea is situated in alpine terrain just above tree level at an averageelevation of 1,650 metres. The Transfer area is situated in forested terrainranging in elevation from 900 metres to 1,550 metres above sea level. Accessto Quintette Trend is possible by 4-wheel drive vehicle via 14 kilometres of"well site" access road connecting the old Babcock campiste to the HeritageHighway (Boundary section). The Transfer area may be approached via the roadwhich accesses Quintette's Transfer Point Building on the overland conveyor oralternately via the well site access as indicated on the index map.
1.2 Property History
The Quintette property was initially acquired in 1969. Regional mapping of
0 both the Quintette Trend and Transfer areas was undertaken in 1970 to 1974.Limited diamond drilling and bulldozer trenching was undertaken on theQuintette Trend,in 1974 and 1976. No drilling or trenching has been undertakenin the Transfer area prior to the 1985 Programme.

1.1 Description
The Quintette Trend South exploration area lies approximately 11 kmsouth of Quintette's plant site. It is bound on south by Gordon Creek and onNorth by Babcock Creek. The area is accessed by an exploration road which wasbuilt in 1974 from the old Babcock campsite. The elevation ranges fromapproximately 1500 m to 1700 m and is subalpine to alpine.
Previous work in this area was conducted in 1973 and 1974, andincluded mapping, drilling and trenching. The results indicated-very simplestructure with a well developed coal section. The 1985 exploration programincluded two diamond drill holes, 10 rotary drill holes and geological mapping.It was conducted with the purpose of confirming the structure and to obtain coalquality data.
1.2 Startigraphy and Coal Development
Regionally, all formation from Minnes and Shaftsbury Formation outcropin this area. Within the exploration area, the minable seams of interest arefound in the Middle Member of the Gates Formation. Minable seams recognizedare 0, E, F, G, and J seams. THe Middle Gates Member from top of 0 to bottom ofK reaches a thickness of 115 to 135 m. Table 1.2.1 show interseam thicknes.s andlithologv between each of the minable seams. Table 1.2.2 sumamrizes seamthicknessses obtained form 1985 drilling program.
Seam 0, overlain by sandstone and conglomerate of the Upper Gates, canbe easily correlated with.those of other deposits in Quintette property. It is2.0 to 2.6 m in thickness and is a clean seam especially toward the north.
Seam E thickness ranged from 2.4 to 3.1 m. There are three distinctcoal portions separated by partings. Toward the North, the seam begins todevelop more partings resulting in increased in-seam ash.
Seam F is characterized by high-ash bony coal at the top of the seam.The seam thickness ranges from 2.4 to 3.5 m. Excluding the bony portion, F seamis very clean except where it develops parting at the north end.
Seam G varies in thickness from 2.5 to 3.4 m, its upper partingdevelopes significantly in the south resulting in high head ash.
Seam J is a clean seam with thickness ranging from 4.4. to 6.3 m.Seam K (Kl and K2) was considered to be unminable because of its thinness andits distance from the J seam (see Table 1.2.11.
The average cumulative minable seam,thickness in Quintette Trend Southfrom both 1985 to 1974 data is.15.9 m.

TheGates formation exposed in the exploration area forms the south limb of theWaterfall Creek Syncline, and all strata, dips uniformly to the Northeast at 65"to 70' (see cross sections in Appendix 1). The drill and mapping data indicatethat there are no major faults in thfs area.

2.1 Description
The Transfer Area lies between what was previously known as theHermann North and the Hermann South pits. This area is located approximately 1km southwest of the overland conveyor transfer point. An exploration programwas conducted in the M-11 anticline region within the Transfer Area during theSumner of 1985. The area lies above the treeline with elevation ranging from1400 to 1680 m (see geological map),
The area had been explored with regional scale geolgical mapping in1975, but at that point it had only been determined as belonging to the GatesFormation, and there was no data to confirm minable coal seams. The 1985program was conducted with the purpose of confirming the presence of minablecoal. The work was limited to 2 exploratory diamond drill holes and detailedmapping in the confined area.
2.2 Stratigraphy and Coal Devel oplaent
The Gates Formation reaches up to 300 m in thickness within theexploration area. The formation is divided in descending order, into Upper,Middle and Lower Members. The main coal bearing memeber is the Middle Memberwith thickness of 102 m. It correlates very well with the northern portion ofthe Shikano pit on the opposite bank of the Murray River.
There are eight potentially minable seams, B, D, E, F, G, J, Kl andK2. Seam B belongs to the Upper Member and the others belong to the MiddleMember. Thickness of each seam is shown on Table 2.1.
Seam B and D have no partings but are thin reaching to only 0.8 and1.0 m.
Seam E has developed partings and relatively thin coal splits andtherefore maybe unminable.
Seam F which lies 22 m below E seam has two parting but is relativelythick developing to 4.2 m.
Seam G attains a thickness of 3.2 m. This seam is made up of threecoal splits and two rock partings.
Seam J is 13 m below G and 3.0 m in thickness. It is a very cleanseam.
The J and Kl interseam is only 0.7 m while Kl seam is 0.85 m inthickness.
Seam k2 is 0,.9 m below Kl and 0.7 m in thickness. Seams J,‘Kl and K2may be mined together, but interseam partings will probably be separated. Thecumulative minable coal seam thickness (6, D, F, G, J, Kl, K2) in this area is14.77 m. Without seam B and 0, the thickness is 12.9 m.

2.3 structure
The structure in the Transfer area is dominated by M-11 anticline.The anticlfne axis runs from NW to SE. Both limbs dip from 35 to 60'. Threefault zones have been interpreted, however, +,hese faults have not yet been welldefined.'
