Branden (Dawes Pond) PropertyCU VMS

Location and Access

The Branden Property (formerly called the Dawes Pond Property) is located 2 km southwest ofDawes Pond (fig 1) which lies approximately 20 km northwest of Badger. The property isaccessed by well maintained logging roads which extend southwest from the TCH.

The Branden Property comprises of six map staked mineral licenses, This report covers licence17388m which consists of three claims.

Previous Exploration Work

This area was covered as part of Billiton’s 1998 flyover geotem survey (fig2). The apparentconductivity map shows that the southeastern portion of the property is a relative conductivityhigh, although there is no conductor picks shown. There hasn’t been any drilling carried out onthe property. The Matty Mitchell room prepared some highlights from the property seen on fig 5.

Property Geology

The Branden Property is located in the central nl Dunnage Zone. Near the southwestern marginof the Dawes Pond Granite, which forms a large circular pluton measuring approximately 9km x7km centered on Dawes Pond (fig.6). In the area of the property, a relatively narrow (1km wide)attenuated belt of Early Ordovician Roberts Arm Group metavolcanic rocks are sandwichedbetween Early Silurian to Devonian intrusive rocks of the Dawes Pond Granite to the east andthe Skull Hill Quartz Syenite to the west.

According to the 1:50,000 scale geology map of Swindon and Sacks (1996), the metavolcanicrocks on the property consists dominantly of the Burnt Island Basalt (unit ORBI-pillow basalt,mafic tuff, and chlorite schist) to the east, and the Gullbridge felsic Volcanic Rocks (unitORGf-rhyolitic ash flow tuff, lesser rhyolite flows, tuff, ferringous chert, and minor maficschist) to the west. A narrow sliver of the Gull Hill Sedimentary Rocks (unit ORGHvolcaniclastic chert. ferringous chert, sandy and fine conglomerate sedimentary rocks) is shownbetween the Dawes Pond Granite and Burnt Island Basalt in the northern portion of the property.

Work Report

I spent five days prospecting and sampling this license in the north and south area of thisproperty. There are many woods roads and skidder trails cutting through the claims. The rocksalong the road are metavolcanic assigned to the Ordovician Roberts arm volcanics. There areminor intrusive bodies of diorite, feldspar/porphyry and micro granite cutting across the road, inan east1west direction. Further to the east of the claims is the Dawes Pond granite which intrudesthe volcanics, around this place is where I saw fes and a little mo in the granite, but took nosamples as I have prospected this area for many years. The contact is not apparent and anexcavator is needed to sample and map the contact zones. I walked in the skidder trails lookingfor outcrop or mineralized float, there is a lot of till ridges which does a good job in coveringbedrock. In the north area I took three samples, a little ways north of the stockwork zones whichexhibit chalco, magnetite and cordierite. The samples were altered basalts horsfelsed. The rockswere angular float, nos 175, 176, 177, I assayed for icp34 analysis. There was a good values ofcu and zn with no 176 having .63% zn and 1396 ppm of cu. This is an area where some trenchingis needed, there has being none done to date. I will keep searching the area in question in aneffort to find more outcrop. I assume that there is a contact zone somewhere in this vicinity, thesource of the float rock. I took two more samples in the south portion of the claims, nos 202 and204, the samples were mafic with chlorite and epidote present and some qtz veining. I assayedfor au and icp34, the values were good for cu, pb and zn with an ore grade of 1.55% and 1.16%cu, also no 204 had 40 ppb au. The Dawes Pond area has very good potential for a VMS depositand I am continuing to search for a JV partner.

Exploration Potential

The disseminated and stringer pyrite-chalcopyite mineralization on the Branden Propertyindicates the presence of a VMS feeder system of unknown extent. The two principal deposits inthe area are the Gullbridge (produced approximately 3MT grading 1.1% Cu) and Lake Bond (1.2MT grading 0.3 1% CU, and 2.10% Zn) deposits. The Gullbridge deposited consists of VMSstockwork style mineralization hosted in cordierite-bearing, thermally metamorphosed maficmetavolcanic rocks, similar to those found on the Branden Property.

Geological maps indicate that the near-surface potential is limited to the 1km wide belt ofRoberts Arm Group metavolcanics (fig6). The depth potential is unclear since the nature of thevolcanic- intrusive contacts is unknown. The presence of increased conductivity in the southernportion of the property indicates that this area may be most prospective.

Dawes Pond - Cu-CoThe Dawes Pond Property consists of 6 claims (Licence I 2039M) locatedin central Newfoundland, approx. 6 km north of the abandoned CN railline and 2 1cm south of Dawes Pond (NTS 12H/0I).Access is via loggingroads in the area.

Regional Geology:The property lies within the Notre Dame Sub zone (Dunnage Zone) of theNewfoundland Appalachians. Geology of the region is dominated byvolcanic rocks of the Ordovician Roberts Arm Group and SiluroDevonian felsic intrusive rocks (Map 2).

Local GeologyThe Roberts Arm Group (and the correlative Buchans Group to the south)are a sequence of marine meta-volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentaryrocks. The Roberts Arm Group is intruded to the east by the Dawes Pond

Granite and the Siluro-Devonian Skull Hill Granite intrudes the group to the west.The Roberts Arm Groupdisplay the effects of low to medium grade metamorphism.

Exploration History and MineralizationLittle exploration work has been carried out in this area. In the late 1 990s, GT Exploration explored the areaimmediately to the north, for VMS and gold. Historical work on the property located rusty felsic volcanicrocks with gold values up to I g/t Au and grab samples have returned up to 2 % Cu and 200 ppm Co.Mineralization consists of disseminated and stringer pyrite and chalcopyrite in metavolcanic rocks occurringover a minimum distance of 500 m and may represent parts of a VMS feeder system. In some areas, thesulphide veins form a stockwork. The host rocks appear to be homfelsed basalts displaying large cordieritecrystals. The style ofmineralization suggests that the area has the potential to host a VMS deposit.Similar rocks to those exposed on the property are host to the Gullbridge Mine, hosted by cordierite-bearingmetavolcanic rocks (produced approx. 3 MT at 1.1 % Cu and the Lake Bond deposit(1.2 MT grading 0.31 %Cu, 2.1 %Zn).
