1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report describes the specifications and parameters of an airborne geophysical survey carried out for BIG RED DIAMOND COMPANY, 376 Patricia Blvd., Timmins, ON P4N 6Y6, attention Mr. Brian Polk, telephone 705-264-0079, fax 705-267-5363, email big^edfgntl.sympatico.ca. The survey was performed by Terraquest Ltd., 1366 Boulder Creek Crs., Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5J 4P5, telephone 905-403- 0026, fax 905-403-0065 and email [email protected].

The purpose of the survey of this type is to collect geophysical data that can be used to prospect directly for anomalous magnetic and1 conductive areas in the earth's crust which may be caused by or related to economic minerals. Secondly, the geophysical patterns may be used indirectly for exploration by mapping the geology in detail, including the faults, shear zones, folding, alteration zones and other structures.

To obtain this data, the area was systematically traversed by an aircraft, carrying geophysical equipment along parallel flight lines spaced at even intervals and oriented so as to intersect the geology and structure in a way as to provide optimum contour patterns of the geophysical data.

2.0 SURVEY AREA

This survey area is in northern Ontario, approximately 115 kilometres north of Smooth Rock Falls in the south west corner of Valentine Township. The block is square measuring 3.2 kilometres on each side. The centre of the survey is 50 degrees 14 minutes north and 81 degrees 37 minutes west. The survey coordinates in the NAD83 datum Zone 17 as supplied by the client are as follows:

3.0 EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

3.1 AIRCRAFT

The survey was carried using a single engine Cessna 206U aircraft registration C-GGLS. which carries three high sensitivity magnetometers. Tt is equipped with long range tanks, outboard tanks (total 8 hours range), tundra tires, cargo door and full avionics.

The aircraft has been extensively modified to support a tail stinger and two wing tip extensions. The transverse separation between the wing tip sensors is 13.5 metres and the longitudinal separation to the tail sensor is 7.2 metres. Considerable effort has been made to remove all ferruginous materials near the sensors and to ensure that the aircraft electrical system does not create any interference or noise. The figure of merit using Geological Survey of Canada standards is approximately 9 nT uncoinpensated and approximately 0.8 to l .2 nT compensated depending on the latitude and geological environment.

Tlie aircraft is owned and operated by Terraqucst Ltd. under full Canadian Ministry of Transport approval and certification for specially flying including airborne geophysical surveys. The aircraft is maintained at base operations by a regulatory AMO facility, Leggal Aviation Inc.

4.0 SURVEY SPECIFICATIONS

4.1 LINES AND DATA

Survey lines 210kmTie lines 13 kmTotal 223 kmSurvey Line Interval 50 metresTie Line Interval l kilometresSurvey Line Direction 090 degreesTie Line Direction 000 degreesTerrain Clearance 60 metres (mean terrain clearance)Average Ground Speed 60 metres/secondMagnetic Sample Interval 6 metresVLF-EM Interval 30 metres

4.2 TOLERANCES

Line Spacing: Reflights will take place if the final differentially corrected flight path deviates from theintended flight path by +/-2S metres over a distance greater than l kilometre.

Terrain Clearance: The aircraft terrain clearance was smoothly maintained at 60 metres MTC in a drapemode. Reflights will take place if the final differentially corrected altitude deviates from the flightaltitude by +/-35% over a distance of one kilometre or more.

Diurnal Magnetic Variation: The airborne survey will be confined to periods in which the diurnal activity is2 nT or less over a chord of 30 seconds in length.

GPS Data: GPS data shall include at least four satellites for accurate navigation and flight path recover)'.There shall be no significant gaps in any of the digital data including GPS and magnetic data.

4.3 NAVIGATION AND RECOVERY

The satellite navigation system was used to ferry to the survey sites and to survey along each line. The survey coordinates of each area outline was supplied by the client and was used to establish the survey boundaries and the flight lines. The NAD83 ellipsoid was used with x-y-z delta shifts of O, O and O respectively. The UTM zone is 17.

The flight path guidance accuracy is variable depending upon the number and condition (health) of the satellites employed. The selective availability normally imposed by the military was at a minimum during this period and consequently the accuracy was for the most part better than 10 metres. Real-time correction using the Racal (receiver and broadcast services) improves the accuracy to about 3 metres or less

A video camera recorded the ground image along the flight path. A video display screen in the cockpit enabled the operator to monitor the flight path during the survey.

4.4 OPERATIONAL LOGISTICS

The base of operations was in Kapuskasing, Ontario. The base station (combined high sensitivity magnetic and OPS) was set up at the airport on December 10, 2003, well away from cultural interference.

The survey was flown successfully in 2 flights GLS515 and 516 (including reflights and compensation) from December 13 th to 14th. Prior to survey, operations were curtailed significantly by high wind, snow and poor visibility.

5.0 DATA PROCESSING

The data were transmitted via an FTP site to Terraquest Ltd. where it was reviewed thoroughly for quality control and tolerances on all channels. This included any corrections to the flight path, making flight path plots, importing the base station data, creating a database on a flight by flight basis, and posting the data. All data were checked for continuity and integrity. Any errors or omission or data beyond tolerances were flagged for reflight and the crew was notified by return FTP transmission, ready for their flight in the morning.

The final processing involved tie line leveling in the standard manner by tying the survey lines to the tie lines using GEOSOFT software. The total field was gridded and microlevelled in the Fourier domain (generally less than l nT corrections) to reduce any linear noise along the flight path without degrading the geologic signal. The vertical magnetic gradient was calculated from the final processed total magnetic field gridded data. The final levelled datasets were gridded and were contoured.

The measured horizontal gradient was obtained as follows, a) The raw transverse gradient is the value from the left sensor minus the value from the right sensor divided by their separation, b) The raw longitudinal gradient is the difference between the tail sensor and the average of the left and right sensors, and divided by the longitudinal separation, c) The raw gradients are then DC shifted to account for line heading effects and differences in the sensors, d) The gradients are then rotated from aircraft centric components to true geographic components; these are the final North and East gradients, which are listed in the database.

The data were not plotted in map form, but transmitted to Matthew Johnston in digital form. As Consulting Geophysicist for Big Red Diamond Company, Matthew prepared plotted maps and the interpretation to be included with this report.

6.0 SUMMARY

An airborne tri-sensor high sensitivity magnetic and VLF-EM survey was performed at 60 metre mean terrain clearance, 50 metre line intervals, 1000 metre tie line interval, and data sample points at 6 metres along the flight lines. A high sensitivity magnetic and a OPS base station located in Kapsukasing, Ontario recorded the diurnal magnetic activity and reference GPS data during the survey for adherence to surveytolerances.

The data were subjected to final processing to produce digital files: a) total magnetic field, b) calculated vertical magnetic gradient, and c) measured longitudinal and transverse magnetic gradients, but no maps were plotted. All data have been archived on a CD-ROM.
