  • Summary During the 2006 field season Pete Gold Corporation completed a VTEM airborne geophysical survey and acquired an airborne photo mosaic map of a portion of the Highland Project, within Abotossaway Township, Sault Ste Marie Mining Division , District of Algoma . The survey and photo mosaic included the Porter Premier claim numbers 4201644 and 4201645 , Mall Lake claim numbers 4212197 and 3009910, Farquhar Vein claim 4201628 and claim number 4201629. The geophysical survey identified several magnetic and VTEM anomalies that should be examined and prioritized for drilling. The acquired photo mosaic map is excellent for assisting in structural and geological mapping and presentation of exploration data. This report includes the results of the VTEM geophysical survey and an image of the photo mosaic submitted for the purposes of assessment work.

    Property Description and Location The Highland Project is located within the District of Algoma, Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division and the Wawa Ministry of Natural Resources District. The most southerly and westerly corner of the property is situated approximately 25 kilometres north-northeast of Wawa , Ontario (Figure 1). The property spans approximately 43 kilometres from east to west across Riggs, Jacobson, Finan and Abotossaway Townships. Dog Lake occurs along its eastern boundary and the Magpie River transects the western most portion of the property. The property includes unpatented, lease-patented, crown patented and mineral licence agreements that are discussed in the tables below.

  • Accessibility and Infrastructure The Highland Project is easily accessed by Highway #519, east of Highway #17, located 30 kilometres north of Wawa and approximately 120 kilometres south and east of Hemlo. Two kilometres before the village of Dubreuville along Highway 519, exit south on Dubreuville Road, a Grade An all weather gravel road that extends 11 kilometres southeast from Highway 519 to the Highland Project. Historic access roads and logging roads made during the past couple of decades provide easy access by 4-wheel drive trucks and all terrain vehicles across the entire Highland Project.

    Two rail lines also provide access to the entire Highland Project, the western portion of the property is adjacent to the Algoma Central Rail from Sault Ste. Maria with a rail junction at Goudreau and the northern boundary of the eastern portion of the property is within 2km of the main Canadian PacifiC Railway with a rail junction at Lochalsh.

    If required, the property has several large lakes suitable for floatplane landings and both float plane and helicopter bases are located within the town of Wawa. A deepwater harbour is also available within the community of Michipicoten River, 6 kilometres southwest of Wawa along Lake Superior or 225 kilometres south in Sault Ste. Marie.

    Power transmission lines transect almost the entire property with the western most claims being the furthest distance from a power line (approximately 8 kilometres). Several sub-stations are currently located along the transmission lines.

    Wawa is a full service community that can easily provide essential services 12 months a year and has an exploration and mining history of more than 100 years. Mining and exploration in the area is currently active and a qualified work force and eqUipment can be readily provided. Among many of the businesses and support services, Wawa also has a hospital and airport. Other exploration and mining equipment and support can be acquired from Sault Ste. Marie 225 km, Timmins 335 km or Sudbury 530 km. Currently producing gold mills are present at River Gold Mines, Eagle River Mine and at the Hemlo camp. Richmont Mines Inc. recently began test mining and milling operations at its Island Gold Deposit within Jacobson Township.

    Physiography The Highland Project extends over an area more than 30 kilometres long and up to 4 kilometres wide. Topography within this area is typical of the Precambrian Shield north of Lake Superior varying from somewhat rugged to gently undulating to flat plains. The area can be generally characterized as having ridges up to 30 metres high that are preferentially oriented parallel to the bedrock stratigraphy in a relatively east-west direction or oriented parallel to faults that are oriented north-south or northwest. The ridges are typically separated by lakes, swamps or flat post-glacial gravel, sand and silt deposits. Bedrock outcroppings are moderate to good away from the low -lying areas, and if covered, usually the bedrock cover is only a few metres of glacial till. When present, the flat lying gravel, sand and silt plains can completely obscure bedrock exposure and may result in more than 30 meters of cover on top of the bedrock.

  • Elevation of the property varies from approximately 330 to 470 metres above sea level. The area is generally well drained with the drainage systems emptying southward into Lake Superior. Water levels of lakes and swamps are strongly influenced by beaver dams.

    Vegetation in the area is characterized by the overlap of the northern extent of the northeast hardwood forest and the southern limit of the boreal forest. Numerous lakes, streams and swamps occur throughout the property. Low ground, swamps and logged areas are commonly overgrown with tag alders and cedar. What remains of the forest consists of birch, poplar, spruce and jack pine.

    Drainage of the Highland Project is split between the Michipicoten River in the east and the Magpie River in the west. The Magpie River joins the Michipicoten River just before it drains into Lake Superior. The close proximity of the Highland Project to Lake Superior moderates the weather during each of the seasons resulting in weather conditions that vary inland from Lake Superior. The moderating effect often results in dense variable fogs in the area and relatively more precipitation than inland. Summer high temperatures typically range between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius with winter low temperatures ranging from approximately -25 to -35 degrees Celsius. Annual precipitation is in the range of 700 mm of rain and 300 cm of snow a year. With the appropriate equipment, exploration can be readily completed year-round and fieldwork can be easily performed from May through to October.

    Geology The Highland Project is situated within the Michipicoten greenstone belt, the largest greenstone belt of the Wawa Subprovince, within the Superior Province. The Michipicoten greenstone belt is further divided into three episodes of volcanism and sedimentation referred to as the HaWk, Wawa and Catfish assemblages that have been dated at 2.89 Ga, 2.75 Ga and 2.70 Ga, respectively. The gold deposits of the Highland Project occur at the contact between the Wawa and Catfish assemblages. General descriptions of the greenstone belt and the different volcanic assemblages are discussed by Williams et. al. (1991). The most current geological maps and reports for the area were completed by Sage (1993a and 1993b) at a scale of 1: 15,840 for Abotossaway, Aguoine, Finan and Jacobson Townships and the most recent geological map and report for Riggs Township was completed by Srivastava and Bennett in 1978 at a scale of 1:15,840.

    The Wawa assemblage is characterized by massive and pillowed magnesium and iron-rich tholeiitic metavolcanics caped by a relatively thinner sequence of intermediate to felsic metavolcanics. The top of the Wawa assemblage is defined by a 100 to 150 meter thick section of Algoma-type iron formation intercalated with both distal clastic sediments and chemical precipitates. The iron formation includes magnetite and chert facies rock and well developed carbonate, sulphide and graphite facies depOSits. The iron carbonate facies of the iron formation within the Wawa assemblage was the focal point for iron exploration and mining in the area.

    The Catfish assemblage is the largest volcanic assemblage of the Michipicoten greenstone belt. It consists primarily of massive and pillowed magnesium- and iron-rich tholeiitic flows overlain by intermediate to felsic metavolcanics that are intercalated with metasediments; indicating contemporaneous volcanism and sedimentation within the upper portion of the assemblage. The Catfish assemblage overlies the Wawa assemblage and the contact is obscured due to strong penetrative regional deformation. Within the Highland Project, the deformation at the

    5 Petrologic Inc.

  • contact is referred to as the Goudreau-Lochalsh Deformation Zone and it hosts the majority of the gold occurrences within the area.

    The metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks have been intruded by mafic to felsic intrusive rocks. Metagabbro and metadiorite rocks intrude the metavolcanics and metasedimentary rocks as sills, dykes and oblong shaped units and are considered to likely be subvolcanic equivalents of the metavolcanics. Multiple intrusions of varied textured intermediate to felsic dykes, sills and stocks that include granites, granodiorites, porphyries, tonalite and trondhjemites are also present within and outside of the deformation zone. The Archean supracrustal and intrusive rocks are then intruded by much younger diabase dykes up to 50 meters wide of the Matachewan diabase dike swarm. These diabase dykes preferentially occur within northwest trending structures.

    The metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks in the area have undergone regional lower to middle greenschist facies metamorphism. Alteration commonly associated with deformation is characterized by quartz, sericite, chlorite, epidote, tourmaline, carbonate (ankerite), actinolitic amphibole and biotite. Alteration within shear zones is the most intense and can commonly destroy the original textures and mineralogy of the rock.

    The overall trend of the Michipicoten greenstone belt is approximately east-west. Williams et. al. (1991) summarized the structure of the greenstone belt as; "Structural data, though incomplete, is supportive of an initial period of recumbent folding and thrusting along or parallel with lithological boundaries. This was followed by upright folding and high-angle reverse faulting, followed by folding, resulting, in part, from granitoid emplacement." The regional strike of the rock units is approximately parallel to the axial surfaces of the prominent folds and associated thrusts (Heather and Arias 1992). Within the Highland Project, the strike is approximately east-west within Jacobson and Riggs Townships and north of east-west in Abotossaway Township.

    Structural geology within the Highland Project is dominated by the Goudreau-Lochalsh Deformation Zone. The Deformation Zone is more than 30 kilometres long and up to 4.5 kilometres wide cutting across Riggs, Jacobson, Finan, Aguoine and Abotossaway Townships and slightly curved southward at its western end within Abotossaway Township. The Highland Project covers approximately 30 to 35% of the deformation zone as outlined by Sage (1993a and 1993b) and Heather and Arias (1992). Deformation is characterized as ductile, brittle-ductile and brittle shears oriented parallel, sub-parallel and discordant to the metavolcanic and metasedimentary units resulting in a very complicated distribution of rock units within the shear zones. The complexities of the shear zones are compounded by the diffraction of the structure when transecting rocks of different lithologies and competencies, commonly in association with younger more competent intrusives that have preferentially intruded along the strike of the dominant shear direction. Diffraction of the structures along and within the more competent units result in the development of dilatational zones within which gold-bearing shears are typically situated.

    The dominant structures are ductile and brittle-ductile shears with dextral (oblique slip) displacements trending 70 to 80 degrees and 110 to 115 degrees with smaller shears oriented 45 to 55 degrees and 140 to 150 degrees. These shear orientations vary 5 to 15 degrees within Abotossaway Township where the Deformation Zone curves southward. Of the variety of shear orientations, usually only two are gold-bearing and typically the majority of the gold is preferentially occurring within one shear. In addition, there are northwest trending gold-bearing

    6 Petrologic Inc.

  • brittle shears that cut across the stratigraphy and are associated with a breccia texture infilled with quartz.

    Deformation tends not to penetrate the coarser-grained, more massive intrusive rocks as much. These intrusives can be generally characterized as coarse-grained metabasaltic flows, gabbroic and diorite sills and dykes as well as a variety of intermediate to felsic dykes, sills and stocks that been classified as porphyries, tonalities, trondhjemites, granodiorites and granites. When these intrusives are present within the deformation zone they behave as relatively competent blocks resulting in the formation of dilatant zones within the units and along its contacts. When theses zones are present, they become important traps for gold-bearing fluids and the majority of the gold occurrences tend to have such an association. The Highland Project includes several of these intrusives and all of them are associated with known gold occurrences.

    Airborne Digital Air Photomosiac and Geophysics - 2006 At the beginning of the 2006 field season, Pele Gold contracted Eagle Mapping Services Ltd. of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia to produce a digital electronic photo image and Geotech Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario to perform a helicopter-borne time domain electromagnetic survey (VTEM) and magnetometer geophysical survey within a limited grid centred over the Gutcher Lake Stock within Abotossaway Township. Both surveys covered approximately the same area and measured apprOXimately 4 x 3.5 kilometres including claim numbers 4201644,4201645, 4212197,3009910,4201628 and 4201629 (Figure 2 and 3). The helicopter flight lines totalled approximately 298 line kilometres. The digital air photo was completed with a two metre accuracy and provided photographic and contour information of the survey at a scale of 1 :2,000 (Figure 4). The magnetic survey was flown with a resolution of 0.02nT, sampling 10 times per second and the time domain electromagnetic system (VTEM) located conductive anomalies and mapped earth resistivities (Figure 5 and 6). The helicopter-borne geophysical survey was reported to have an accuracy of up to 3 meters.

    The VTEM geophysical survey successfully identified eight electromagnetic anomalies of varying intensity and produced a map based on the magnetic properties of the bedrock that was useful in characterizing rock type variations (Figure 7). VTEM Anomalies A, B, C and D appeared to be associated with sulphide facies iron formations within the Middleton Lake area and Anomalies E, F and G were closely aSSOCiated with Gutcher Lake Stock contact and possible gold-bearing shear zones. Anomaly H is located along the edge of the survey within the Mildred Lake Fault zone and was not examined. Each of the Anomalies E, F and G were drilled in 2006 and a zone of significant sulphide mineralization was intersected in each of the drill holes located approximately where the VTEM survey had indicated. Assay results of Anomalies E and F indicated that significant precious or base metal mineralization was not intersected. Anomaly G assay results indicated that significant copper, gold, silver and cobalt mineralization was intersected and the zone is now referred to as the Wolverine Zone.

    1.1 General Considerations

    These services are the result of the Agreement made between Geotech Limited and Pele Mountain Resources Inc., to perform a helicopter-borne geophysical survey over one block located near Wawa, Ontario, Canada.

    298 line-km of geophysical data were acquired during the survey.

    AI Shefsky acted on behalf ofPele Mountain Resources Inc. during data acquisition and processing phases of this project.

    The survey block is as shown in Appendix A.

    The crew was based in Wawa, Ontario for the acquisition phase of the survey, as shown in Section 2 of this report.

    The helicopter was based at Wawa airport for the duration of the survey. Survey flying was completed on April 29th, 2006. Preliminary data processing was carried out daily during the acquisition phase of the project. Final data presentation and data archiving was completed in the Aurora office of Geotech Limited by July, 2006.

    1.2. Survey and System Specifications

    The survey block was flown at nominal traverse line spacing of 50 metres, in north directions to meet geological target specifications. Tie lines were flown perpendicular to traverse lines.

    Where possible, the helicopter maintained a mean terrain clearance of 80 metres, which translated into an average height of 40 meters above ground for the bird-mounted VTEM system and 40 meters for the magnetic sensor.

    The survey was flown using an Astar BA+ helicopter, registration C-FXND, operated by Abitibi Helicopters Limited. Details of the survey specifications may be found in Section 2 of this report.

  • 2.3. Flight Specifications

    The nominal EM sensor terrain clearance was 40 m (EM bird height above ground, i.e. helicopter is maintained 80 m above ground). Nominal survey speed was 80 kmlhour. The data recording rates of the data acquisition was 0.1 second for electromagnetics and magnetometer, 0.2 second for altimeter and GPS. This translates to a geophysical reading about every 2 metres along flight track. Navigation was assisted by a GPS receiver and data acquisition system, which reports GPS co-ordinates as latitude/longitude and directs the pilot over a pre-programmed survey grid.

    The operator was responsible for monitoring of the system integrity. He also maintained a detailed flight log during the survey, tracking the times of the flight as well as any unusual geophysical or topographic feature.

    On return of the aircrew to the base camp the survey data was transferred from a compact flash card (PCMCIA) to the data processing computer.

  • 4. DATA PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION

    4.1. Flight Path

    The flight path, recorded by the acquisition program as WGS 84 latitude/longitude, was converted into the UTM coordinate system in Oasis Montaj.

    The flight path was drawn using linear interpolation between x,y positions from the navigation system. Positions are updated every second and expressed as UTM eastings (x) and UTM northings (y).

    4.2. Electromagnetic Data

    A three stage digital filtering process was used to reject major sferic events and to reduce system noise. Local sf eric activity can produce sharp, large amplitude events that cannot be removed by conventional filtering procedures. Smoothing or stacking will reduce their amplitude but leave a broader residual response that can be confused with geological phenomena. To avoid this possibility, a computer algorithm searches out and rejects the major sferic events. The filter used was a 16 point non-linear filter.

    The signal to noise ratio was further improved by the application of a low pass linear digital filter. This filter has zero phase shift which prevents any lag or peak displacement from occurring, and it suppresses only variations with a wavelength less than about 1 second or 20 metres. This filter is a symmetrical I sec linear filter.

    The results are presented as stacked profiles of EM voltages for the gate times, in logarithmic scale.

    The EM profile map image is presented in Appendix C.

    Generalized modeling results of the VTEM system, written by Geophysicist Roger Barlow, are shown in Appendix D.

    The VTEM output voltage of the receiver coil is shown in Appendix

    Report on Airborne Geophysical Survey for Pele Mountain Resources Inc. 14

  • 4.3. Magnetic Data

    The processing ofthe magnetic data involved the correction for diurnal variations by using the digitally recorded ground base station magnetic values. The base station magnetometer data was edited and merged into the Geosoft GDB database on a daily basis. The aeromagnetic data was corrected for diurnal variations by subtracting the observed magnetic base station deviations.

    Tie line levelling was carried out by adjusting intersection points along the traverse lines. A micro-levelling procedure was then applied. This technique is designed to remove persistent low-amplitude components of flight-line noise remaining after tie line levelling.

    The corrected magnetic data was interpolated between survey lines using a random point gridding method to yield x-y grid values for a standard grid cell size of approximately 0.2 em at the mapping scale. The Minimum Curvature algorithm was used to interpolate values onto a rectangular regular spaced grid.

    The magnetic field map image is presented in Appendix C.
