Property Location Map Local Geology The Drook Formation (Conception Group) underlies the western side of the property and comprises green siliceous siltstone and sandstone and silicified tuff. The Brigus Fault (Map 2) separates the latter unit from the Harbour Main Group in the centre of the property, comprising pink to grey felsic tuff and agglomerate, rhyolite and welded tuff and locally amygdaloidal basalt flows, interbedded with basalt breccia and sedimentary rocks. The Brigus Fault is associated with hydrothermal alteration and gold mineralization elsewhere in the Avalon Zone (O’Brien and O’Driscoll, 1996). The Conception Group is brecciated along the fault. Drook Fm - Siliciclastics Brigus Lookout Au Showing Vocanic rocks showing extensive hematization Mineralized Quartz Vein Mineralization Murray (1880) investigated the reported presence of gold in quartz veins occurring throughout the Brigus area. Grab samples taken in the early 1990’s returned up to 0.71% Cu (McNamara, 1991). Prospecting in the mid to late 1990’s (Snow, 2001) resulted in anomalous gold values obtained on several parts of the property, both in quartz veins and hydrothermally altered rhyolite and basalt flows and breccias. Gold values up to 464 ppb were returned for grab samples of quartz veins in basalt taken near Brigus Lookout (Brigus Lookout Au Showing, Map 2). These quartz veins are up to 40 cms across, contain disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite, chlorite and in some localities, abundant epidote. Blocks of wall rock are locally incorporated in the veins. One vein trending N-S runs anomalous gold consistently (150 to 454 ppb) and can be traced for more than 0.5 km. Basalts locally contain chalcocite and malachite, with no development of quartz veins, and in places are in contact with rusty, silicified rhyolite and breccia. Altered mafic volcanic and mafic intrusive rock near Brigus Lookout assayed 284 ppb Au. Cu values > 2200 ppm associated with elevated gold (53 ppb) occur in altered rhyolite with malachite staining. The present owner has resampled the main quartz vein in several places. The best grab taken from the northern exposure of the vein (Map 2) returned 3.614 g/t Au and 2.31% Cu. The best grab taken from a southern exposure of the vein on the property returned 0.76% Cu and 45 g/t Ag. Some of the quartz in this vein is chalcedonic and in places shows a fine banding defined by alternating light and dark grey layers. Mineralization Model Produced By: Detailed mapping needs to be carried out on the property in order to be able to define possible deposit types and to assess the spatial relations of the Brigus Fault to any mineralization.

The Proterozoic Harbour Main Group is a sequence of volcanic and associated sedimentary rocks and the late Neoproterozoic Conception Group comprises turbidites.
