1.0 SUMMARY
J-J Minerals of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada was contracted by Plato Gold Corp. ("Plato") of Toronto, Ontario,
Canada to review the Good Hope Niobium Property (the "Property"), conduct geological mapping and
sampling, and to write an Assessment Report (the “Report”). This Report summarizes the current and
historic geological data on the Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon, Ontario. The purpose of the 2017
prospecting was designed to confirm the historic sampling and identify new carbonatite and ijolite outcrops
with anomalous Niobium and Phosphorus. Hole PL-01 was relogged to confirm the presence of pyrochlore
and to better understand the geology of the Property.
The Good Hope Property is located approximately 45 km northwest of Marathon and 28 km north of
Highway 17. The Property is located in NTS sheet: 42E02SE and in the mining district of Thunder Bay
South. The Discovery Site Pit #1 is located at UTM Z16, 519637 m, N 5432636 m, NAD 83. The Property
is readily accessible from Trans-Canada Highway 17 and Deadhorse Creek Road.
The Good Hope Niobium Property consists of a total of 19 claims, 263 claim units and 4208 hectares in
Killala Lake Area and Cairngorm Lake Area Townships, northwest of Marathon, Ontario. Plato Gold Corp.
has an option agreement with Rudolf Wahl and other claim holders for the Property.
Within the Superior Province, numerous alkaline and carbonatitic rocks are distributed along the Trans-
Superior Tectonic Zone. Four alkaline rock carbonatite complexes have been identified along this Zone:
Coldwell, Chipman, Killala Lake and Prairie Lake. Both the Coldwell Complex and the Killala Lake
complex do not contain carbonatites, whereas Chipman Lake and Prairie Lake complexes do contain
carbonatites. The Good Hope Property claims surrounds the Prairie Lake Complex. The center of the Prairie
Lake Complex is not included in the Good Hope Property.
The Good Hope Property consists of paragneiss and metasedimentary rocks bedrock and alkali granite,
ijolite and carbonatite. The alkali granite shows variable degrees of fenitization and brecciation. Alkali
granite breccia has carbonatite veins/ matrix between the clasts. Three types of carbonatite are found on the
property: calciocarbonatite, ferrocarbonatite and silicocarbonatite.
The Property hosts Niobium mineralization in pyrochlore (a Nb-oxide mineral). The Niobium
mineralization differs from that in Prairie Lake Complex in that it is low in Th and U contents. Two
paragentic varieties of carbonatites were identified on the basis of mineral abundances and textures:
pyrochlore-rich and pyrochlore-poor. The pyrochlore-poor phase represents a later stage of crystallization.

The pyrochlore-rich carbonatite contains early crystallized cumulates of apatite and Na-Ca pyrochlore with
interstitial carbonate minerals.
The discovery of Niobium mineralization at Good Hope was made by Rudy Wahl in 2010 when he
identified 1.63 % Nb2O5 in a small outcrop on Site #28. In recognition of this Niobium discovery, Rudy
Wahl received the Bernie Schnieders Discovery of the Year Award for 2014 from the Northwestern Ontario
Prospectors’ Association (NWOPA).
Canadian International Minerals completed prospecting, rock sampling, radiometric surveys, soil sampling,
trenching and channel sampling in May to July 2011 on the Good Hope Property. The focus of the
exploration was the search for rare-earth elements (“REE’s”). Canadian International dug 12 trenches (TR-
11-PL-001 to TR-11-PL-012) on radiometric highs on the Property. A total of 238 channel samples were
collected from the trenches and sent for assay. Ten trenches were located along Deadhorse Creek Road on
claim 4256252 and two trenches were located on claim 4256251, at Site #28
In September to December 2014, Dr. Wahl followed up on his discovery with prospecting, hand stripping,
geological mapping and rock sampling in 5 pits that he dug within Site #28 on claim 4256251. A total of
17 samples were assayed for Nb2O5 % and P2O5 with up to 1.432 % Nb2O5 and 7.54 % P2O5 in the Discovery
Pit #1.
During June and July 2015, MDN Inc. completed a detailed prospecting geological survey on the Good
Hope Property with the objective of finding larger zones of mineralized, non-radioactive carbonatite
focussing on Site #28 and Site #21. Seven sites were trenched (Trenches 1 to 7) and from these trenches 64
channel samples were cut. The first trench, TR-01-PL-15, revealed a non-radioactive carbonatite at the
contact with a syenite. The carbonatite is at least 5 meters wide by 15 meters long, and observations indicate
that it extends underneath the swamp for an unknown distance. The best result from 26 channel samples in
trench TR-01-PL-15 is 1.205% Nb2O5 over 1.10 meters.
A Heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey (400 x 800 m) was flown on Aug. 3, 2016 by Prospectair on
behalf of Rudy Wahl on claim 4256251. A gamma-ray total counts anomaly occurs on the center of the
claim. Two drill holes were completed in September 2016 for a total of 280.7 m on an airborne radiometric
anomaly near Site #28, claim 4256251. The assay highlights for drill hole PL-01 include 0.45 % Nb2O5
over 1.0 m and 6.25 % P2O5 over 1.0 m. The assay highlights for drill hole PL-02 include 0.34 % Nb2O5
over 1.0 m and 5.81 % P2O5 over 1.0 m. The Niobium mineralization in drill core is associated with
carbonatite.

The First Nation community in close proximity to the Good Hope Property is an Ojibway Pic River First
Nation located on the northern shore of Lake Superior at the mouth of the Pic River, east of Marathon. On
the morning of June 7, 2017, Anthony Cohen, President and CEO of Plato, and Rudy Wahl, property owner,
met with members of the Pic River First Nations: Ms. Juanita Starr, Economic Development Manager and
her colleague Brittney to discuss the Good Hope Project. Mr. Cohen gave both Juanita and Brittney his
business card. The Pic River FN members said that they have eager workers who would be available for
employment opportunities when the time comes. Mr. Wahl and Mr. Cohen thanked them and told them that
they would keep them updated on the project as it progresses to the next exploration stages.
Plato Gold completed prospecting, mapping and sampling June 5 to 29, 2017 on the Good Hope Property.
A total of 55 carbonatite, ijolite and alkali granite samples were collected and submitted for assay on six
claims. The exploration team also described each outcrop/boulder that they reviewed which did not contain
carbonates (e.g., paragneiss, metasediment and alkali granite). A total of 201 outcrop stations were
described on seven claims.
The mapping program consisted of due diligence sampling of previously recognized high grade samples
and discovery of additional ijolite and carbonatite occurrences in four distinct areas on the Property. Plato’s
due diligence sampling at the Discovery Pit #1 found 1.055 %Nb2O5 and 9.25 % P2O5. Plato’s due diligence
grab sample from 2015 Trench TR-01-PL-15 found 1.053 % Nb2O5 and 6.73 % P2O5. The four areas of
mineralization identified during this mapping program are: Site #28 (claim 4256251), Site #21A (claim
4246269), Sites #22 and 25 (claim 4256252) and Site #37 (claim 4256259). Although these mineralized
sites were previously known, Plato’s exploration team increased the area of the mineralized sites and found
new mineralized outcrops within these sites. Site visits to the Property took place on June 5, 6 and 22, 2017.
Plato’s exploration team also found new outcrops of niobium mineralization. At Site #28, an outcrop of
syenite (or fenitized alkali granite) with ferro-carbonatite veins contains 393 ppm Nb in the ferro-
carbonatite and 186 ppm Nb in the syenite with carbonatite veins. The location of these anomalous Nb
samples can be used as an exploration pathfinder to find carbonatite intrusive bodies at Site #28. The
mapping program also discovered a 70 m long ijolite dyke within the alkali granite breccia and carbonatite
matrix at Site #28. This ijolite dyke connects trenches TR-04A-PL15 and TR-04B-PL15 ijolite with a new
outcrop of ijolite 70 m to the west.
The mapping program covered a 1.5 by 2.5 km area within Site #21A (claims 4246269, 4246255 and
4256253), the majority of which were not previously prospected or sampled. The highlights of the mapping
include: discovery of a 700 m long northeast trending alkali granite breccia with carbonatite matrix pointing

towards Prairie Lake. It is not known if the carbonatite continues under the lake. Also, discovery of a 1.8
km long northwest trending ijolite characterized by a magnetic high anomaly. Plato’s due diligence
sampling at Site #21A pit found 764 ppm Nb and 1.70 % P2O5 in calcio-carbonatite with 1% pyrochlore
and 257 ppm Nb and 0.41 % P2O5 in ferro-carbonatite with 1% pyrochlore. Plato’s new outcrops of
anomalous niobium values at Site #21A range from 112 to 349 ppm Nb.
The mapping program sampled ijolite and silico-carbonatite at Site #22 and 25 (Claim 4256252). The
mapping program discovered a 70 m northwest trending ijolite which corresponds to a magnetic high
anomaly. The ijolite is on a topographic high and the carbonatite is possibly in the adjacent topographic
low ground. Plato’s due diligence sampling of 2011 trench TR-PL-11-001 at Site #22 also confirms the
presence of anomalous niobium and phosphorus: Plato’s due diligence sampling of silicio-carbonatite found
287 ppm Nb and 1.64 % P2O5 and 130 ppm Nb and 5.69 % P2O5 in a ferro-carbonatite. Fenitized alkali
granite with carbonate + galena veinlets contained 224 ppm Nb.
Site #37 (Claim 4256259) contains similar alkali granite with carbonatite as Site #28. Plato’s due diligence
sampling of a silicio-carbonatite at Site #37 contains 657 ppm Nb and 2.36 % P2O5.
Julie Selway and Thomas Chudy relogged drill core for PL-01 at MNDM core library in Thunder Bay on
June 23 and 24, 2017. The drill core was not resampled and assayed, as the historic assays are sufficient to
indicate the presence of niobium mineralization on the Good Hope Property at this early stage of
exploration. Intervals with elevated levels of niobium mineralization were visually checked for pyrochlore
mineralization. Detailed due diligence relogging and photographing of drill hole PL-01 by Plato’s
exploration team showed an excellent correlation between the rock types found in the surface trench TR-
01-PL15 and drill core. The drill core shows several generations of carbonatite and patches rich in
pyrochlore mineralization. Multiple generations of apatite associated with the carbonatite and the niobium
mineralization were identified using ultraviolet light.
In conclusion, the prospecting and sampling of the Good Hope Niobium Property successfully confirmed
the historic sampling and identified new carbonatite and ijolite outcrops with anomalous Niobium and
Phosphorus. Re-logging of the previous drill hole PL-01 visually confirmed the presence of pyrochlore
associated with apatite in carbonatite veins.
Carbonatite is easily weathered and thus difficult to find in outcrop. The carbonatite is likely in the swamps
on the Property. It is preserved as the matrix within the alkali granite breccia and in contact with ijolite on
the Good Hope Property. The Qualified Person recommends a drill program to search for pyrochlore
mineralization hosted by carbonatite.

The QP recommends a 1200 m drill program consisting of 3 holes at 300 m each and 3 holes at 100 m each.
The drill holes should target under the swamps at Site #28 and 21A. The purpose of the 300 m long holes
is to drill deep enough to locate a large carbonatite body. Three holes will need to be drilled at each site in
order to model the orientation of the carbonatite body in 3D. Once the carbonatite body has been identified
the location of the drill holes can be adjusted to intersect it again.

2.2 Terminology
Carbonatite: An intrusive igneous rock containing more than 50% modal primary carbonate (e.g., calcite,
dolomite, ankerite) (https://www.mindat.org/min-48019.html).
Fusion - This digestion process will melt the entire sample to produce “total digestion”. This method is
especially used for digestion of silicates and other resistive minerals.
ICP-MS: Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometer: An instrument capable of determining the
concentrations of 70+ elements simultaneously by measuring the mass of ions generated by an argon gas
plasma heated to 10,000°K and passing through a magnetic quadrupole to the detector. Capable of ultra
low detection limits (ppb to ppt) with very wide linear ranges (up to 7 orders of magnitude) (Acme
Analytical Laboratories Ltd: www.acmelab.com).

4.4 Requirements to Retain the Property and Exploration Plan and Permit
In Ontario, to retain a mining claim, companies must submit an assessment file to MNDM’s Geoscience
Assessment Office showing that they have spent $400/per claim unit on exploration on each claim. One
claim unit is equal to 16 hectares. The initial mining claim is issued for a term of 2 years and then renewed
every year afterwards.
Plato has an Exploration Permit PR-17-11038 on the Good Hope Property dated March 21, 2017. The
Exploration Permit is effective for 3 years. The Exploration Permit covers all of the optioned Good Hope
claims except for 4246260, 4256256, 4256257 and 4261198. The four claims not covered by the
Exploration Permit are located on the east side of the Property where access is difficult. An Exploration
Permit application can be submitted at a later date for these claims if Plato decides to do drilling on them.
The Exploration Permit includes:
• Line cutting, where the width of the line is more than 1.5 metres.
• Mechanized drilling, where the weight of the drill is greater than 150 kg.
• Mechanized surface stripping (overburden removal), where the total combined surface area stripped is greater than 100 square metres and up to advanced exploration thresholds, within a 200-metre radius.
• Pitting and trenching (rock), where the total volume of rock is greater than 3 cubic metres and up to advanced exploration thresholds, within a 200-metre radius.

The closest major airport to the Property is in Thunder Bay about 300 km west of Marathon (Figure 4-1).
Marathon has a small airport just west of town, but it is only used by helicopters, forest fire fighters and
private planes. The Canadian Pacific Railway is located along the Trans-Canada Highway #17 and passes
the northern part of the town of Marathon. Thunder Bay is a regional hub with highways and railways east
to Toronto, west to Winnipeg and south to the United States. Thunder Bay is also a major shipping port on
Lake Superior.
5.2 Climate and Vegetation
The daily average temperature ranges from -15 ºC in January to 16 ºC in July
(http://www.farmzone.com/statistics/CL6048231/no027). The highest average accumulation of rain for the
month is 111 mm in October and 109 mm in June. The highest accumulation of snow for a month is 92 mm
in January.
Drilling can be conducted year round except for spring thaw in mid-March and April when it is too muddy
in the bush. Geological mapping and outcrop sampling can be conducted May to November when there is
no snow on the ground.

The vegetation consists of aspen, birch and spruce on most of the Property and thick alders and underbrush
in the low lying areas (MNDM assessment report: 2.50419). The property is forested with spruce and cedar
(MNDM assessment report: 2.56230).
Neys Provincial Park is located 30 km west of Marathon and hosts the Coldwell alkaline Complex
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neys_Provincial_Park). Neys is within the Central Boreal Forest Region of
Ontario. As such it is home to a predominantly coniferous forest, however some boreal deciduous species
can be found near waterways and former beaver dams (e.g., white birch, black spruce). Some of the most
common plant species include the Bunchberry, Labrador Tea, blueberry, bearberry, larch, mountain maple,
a wide variety of fungi. These plants are an attraction to such forest species as the Woodland Caribou,
Moose, and the Black Bear. Black bears were seen on the Deadhorse Creek Road on an almost daily basis
during the mapping program (Figure 5-2).
Figure 5-2 Black bear on the left side of Deadhorse Creek Road.
5.3 Physiography
The region consists mainly of low terrain, including swamps separated by hills that rise 100-200 m above
the swamps (MNDM assessment file: 2.50419).

5.4 Infrastructure and Local Resources
The population of the town of Marathon is 3,273 people in 2016
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon,_Ontario). The motto of the town of Marathon is “Built on Paper,
Laced with Gold”. The town was named after Marathon Pulp Inc, which operated a pulp mill 1946-2009.
The Hemlo gold camp was discovered in the early 1980’s east of Marathon. There are three gold mines in
the Hemlo camp: Golden Giant and David Bell mines owned by Barrick Gold Corporation and Williams
mine is jointly owned by Teck Cominco and Barrick Gold Corporation. Marathon has skilled labour for
mining operations. Marathon also has hotels, restaurants, hardware stores and a hospital.
Aguasabon Generating Station is a hydroelectric power station on the Aguasabon River near Terrace Bay
(http://www.opg.com/generating-power/hydro/northwest-ontario/Pages/aguasabon-station.aspx). Terrace
Bay is located 70 km from the Property (Figure 4-1). Pine Portage Generating Station is a hydroelectric
power station on the Nipigon River located 39 km north of the town of Nipigon
(http://www.opg.com/generating-power/hydro/northwest-ontario/Pages/pine-portage-station.aspx). Pine
Portage is the largest hydro power plant along the Nipigon River. The other two hydroelectric power
stations north of Nipigon are Cameron Falls and Alexander. Nipigon is located 186 km west of Marathon.
Sources of water on the Property include Prairie Lake, Ruffle Lake, Prairie River and numerous swamps.
The Property’s surface rights are owned by the crown and they are sufficient for future mining operations.
Plato’s Good Hope project is in the exploration stage and does not yet have 43-101 compliant
resource/reserve or a prefeasibility study; therefore, discussion on potential tailings storage areas, potential
waste disposal areas, heap pad leach pad areas and potential processing tailings storage area for mining
operations is not relevant.
6.0 HISTORY
6.1 2010, Rudy Wahl
The discovery of Niobium mineralization at Good Hope was made by Rudy Wahl in 2010 when he
identified 1.63 % Nb2O5 in a small outcrop on Site #28 (Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2) (MNDM assessment
report 2.56230).

6.1 2011, Canadian International Minerals Inc.
Canadian International Minerals completed prospecting, rock sampling, radiometric surveys, soil sampling,
trenching and channel sampling in May to July 2011 (MNDM assessment file: 2.50419). Canadian
International optioned the property from Rudy Wahl. The focus of the exploration was the search for rare-
earth elements (“REE’s”).
Rock sample WJH-11-014 from claim 4256259 was analyzed using x-ray diffraction and the following
minerals were identified: garnet, microcline, dolomite, albite, quartz and a possible perovskite.
Canadian International walked along grid lines carrying a hand held gamma ray spectrometer May to July
2011 on claims 4256251, 425652, 4256259 and 4256258 and additional areas to the west. A total of 56 rock
samples were collected from outcrops, of which 48 were submitted for assay. Four soil samples were also
collected and sent for assay.
Canadian International dug 12 trenches (TR-11-PL-001 to TR-11-PL-012) on radiometric highs on the
Property between June and July 2011. A total of 238 channel samples were collected from the trenches and
sent for assay. Ten trenches were located along Deadhorse Creek Road on claim 4256252 (Figure 6-3).
Two trenches were located on claim 4256251, at Site #28 (Figure 6-4).

The conclusions of the radiometric work were that REE’s can be associated with areas of anomalous
radioactivity, both high and low radiometric anomalies can be indicative of REE enrichment and Th in
particular is a useful vector to determine areas that may be anomalous in REE.
6.2 2014, Rudy Wahl
In recognition of this Niobium discovery, Rudy Wahl received the Bernie Schnieders Discovery of the Year
Award for 2014 from the Northwestern Ontario Prospectors’ Association (NWOPA).
In September to December 2014, Dr. Wahl followed up on his discovery with prospecting, hand stripping,
geological mapping and rock sampling in 5 pits that he dug within Site #28 on claim 4256251 (Figure 6-5)
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon

6.3 2014, Roger Mitchell
Mineralogical studies completed in October 2014 by Professor Roger H. Mitchell on samples from Pit #1
at Site #28 (MNDM assessment report: 2.56230).
Dr. Mitchell key pints are:
Identification of two main types of pyrochlore:
1. Pcl-1- a F-free, Sr-poor type with relatively high Fe and Nb
2. Pcl-2 – a F-Na-Sr-bearing type with relatively low Fe and Nb
There is also a Nb-rich pyrochlore with about 80 wt% Nb2O5.
All pyrochlores are ThO2 free with very low UO3. This is important as Th and U contents go into the slag
and hence radionuclide problems are low for these pyrochlores.
Many of the pyrochlores occur as aggregates in clast-like masses of prismatic apatite. The pyrochlores are
large (up to 1 mm), so separation from apatite and carbonates should be easy.
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp
Sept. 5, 2017 J-J MINERALS Page | 28
Carbonatite contains pyrochlores, calcite, ferroan dolomite, calcio-siderite, barite, ancylite, synchysite-Ce,
iron oxides/hydroxides, quartz K-feldspar, pyrite and fluorite. It is important that there is only one niobium-
bearing phase unlike at other localities where the pyrochlore is replaced by ferrocolumbite.
Mineralogical Studies in December 2014 by Professor Roger Mitchell on samples from Pit #3 at Site #28
(MNDM assessment report: 2.56230) found that the pyrochlores in Pit #3 are exactly like those in Pit #1
with low Th and U and high Nb.
Mineralogical Studies on TR-01-PL-15 found a cluster of pyrochlores within prismatic apatite cumulates
(Figure 6-6).

6.4 2015, MDN Inc.
In February 2015, Rudy Wahl optioned the Good Hope Niobium Property to MDN Inc of Montreal.
During June and July 2015, MDN Inc. completed a detailed prospecting geological survey on the Good
Hope Property with the objective of finding larger zones of mineralized, non-radioactive carbonatite
focussing on Site #28 and Site #21 (MNDM assessment report 2.56640). The exploration work consisted
of prospecting, rock sampling, spectrometer radiometric surveys, trenching and channel sampling. A total
of 102 grab samples and 64 channel samples were collected and assayed. The best grab sample assays are
from resampling of the Discovery Pit #1 at Site #28 and from trench TR-01-PL-15 (Table 6-2).
Table 6-2 MDN Inc.’s anomalous grab samples with > 0.1 % Nb2O5 (MNDM assessment report 2.56640) All of the samples are from claim 4256251, except for sample 1393709 which is from claim 4246269.
Seven sites were trenched (Trenches 1 to 7) and from these trenches 64 channel samples were cut (Figure
6-7). The site selected for TR-02-PL-15 was covered by too much overburden and was backfilled. The site
selected for TR-07-PL-15 was not of significant interest and was backfilled.

The first trench, TR-01-PL-15, revealed a non-radioactive carbonatite at the contact with a syenite. The
carbonatite is at least 5 meters wide by 15 meters long, and observations indicate that it extends underneath
the swamp for an unknown distance. The best result from 26 channel samples in trench TR-01-PL-15 is
1.205% Nb2O5 over 1.10 meters.

Trench TR-04-PL-15 revealed a contact between ijolite breccia and syenite breccia, both matrix being
carbonatite, with a chunk of massive carbonatite (Figure 6-9). Again, the carbonatite most likely extends
underneath the swamp. The best channel sampling result for TR-04 is 0.437% Nb2O5 over 0.60 meters. In
the same trench, three non-adjacent channel samples had 0.180 % Nb2O5 over 1.0 m, 0.437 % Nb2O5 over
0.6 m and 0.254 % Nb2O5 over 1.0 m in syenite breccia with carbonatite matrix.

Figure 6-9 MDN Inc.’s channel samples for trench TR-04A-PL-15, claim 4256251 (MNDM assessment report 2.56640).
A mineralogical study was conducted at the University of Quebec in Montreal with a scanning electron
microprobe on samples from trench TR-01-PL-15 found the pyrochlore is U-poor in ferro-carbonatite. The
pyrochlore contains fluoro-carbonates (likely synchsite) and other related minerals. The pyrochlore crystals
occur associated with apatite. Calcite is major component in the ferro-carbonatite facies.
MDN Inc.’s summary was that the 2015 exploration program was successful in discovering a new type of
niobium mineralization which is potentially a non-radioactive carbonatite intrusion. As the discovery
coincides with a low magnetic/low topography sector, all the multi square-kilometers low topography, low
magnetics area covered by the Good Hope Property, is considered highly prospective.

Two drill holes were completed in September 2016 for a total of 280.7 m on an airborne radiometric
anomaly near Site #28, claim 4256251 (Figure 6-11, Figure 6-12 and Figure 6-13) (MNDM assessment
report: 2.57440). The assay highlights for drill hole PL-01 include 0.45 % Nb2O5 over 1.0 m and 6.25 %
P2O5 over 1.0 m. The assay highlights for drill hole PL-02 include 0.34 % Nb2O5 over 1.0 m and 5.81 %
P2O5 over 1.0 m. The Niobium mineralization in drill core is associated with carbonatite.

7.0 GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION
7.1 Regional Geology
The Good Hope Property is located within the Wawa Subprovince of the Superior Province. The Wawa
Subprovince is composed of two linear greenstone belts which are separated by granitoid plutonic rocks
(Williams et al., 1991). The greenstone belts are composed of metamorphosed komatiite, basalt, dacite and
rhyolite and associated metasedimentary rocks.
Midcontinent Rift represents an aborted or failed rift resulting from an upwelling mantle plume during
Mesoproterozoic time at ~1.1 Ga (Burke & Dewey, 1973) (Figure 7-1). The rift is characterized by a large
volume of igneous material which includes the tholeiitic volcanic rocks and related rhyolite and granophyre
of the Keweenawan Supergroup, mafic-ultramafic sills and intrusions of the Duluth Complex and alkaline
and carbonatite intrusions of Ontario (Wu et al, 2016).

Figure 7-1 Distribution of alkaline rocks and carbonatite complexes within the Canadian part of the Midcontinent Rift (from Wu et al., 2016).
Within the Superior Province, numerous alkaline and carbonatitic rocks are distributed along the Trans-
Superior Tectonic Zone (Wu et al., 2016). Four alkaline rock carbonatite complexes have been identified
along this Zone: Coldwell, Chipman, Killala Lake and Prairie Lake (Figure 7-1). The Coldwell Complex is
one of the largest alkaline complexes in the world with an area of ~490 km2 and is composed of subalkaline
and alkaline gabbro, ferroaugite syenite, diverse contaminated syenites, ferroaugite syenite and A-type
quartz syenites (Mitchell et al., 1993). The Killala complex consists of troctolite, gabbro, monzonite,
syenite, nepheline monzonite-syenite and mafic-syenite dykes (Wu et al., 2016). Both the Coldwell
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp
Sept. 5, 2017 J-J MINERALS Page | 37
Complex and the Killala Lake complex do not contain carbonatites, whereas Chipman Lake and Prairie
Lake complexes do contain carbonatites.
7.2 Local Geology – Prairie Lake Complex
The Good Hope Property claims surrounds the Prairie Lake Complex (Figure 9-1). The center of the Prairie
Lake Complex is not included in the Good Hope Property. The Prairie Lake Complex is circular with an
approximate surface area of 8.8 km2 and is topographically located on a circular hill surrounded by low
lying marshy ground (Cleaver, 2017). The Prairie Lake Complex corresponds to an aeromagnetic high
anomaly (Sage, 1987).
The Prairie Lake Complex consists of an ijolite core enclosed by an outer rim of mixed carbonatite,
siliciocarbonatite and calcite ijolite (Sage, 1987). The rock units of the Prairie Lake Complex in
approximate order of intrusion are (Wu et al., 2016):
1. Biotite pyroxenite and calcite carbonatite (I) – Carbonatite (I) consists of very friable coarse rock consisting of large interlocking calcite crystals with rare apatite.
2. Ijolite series rocks – ijolite (pyroxene + nepheline), calcite mela-ijolite (silicocarbonatite or hollaite), mela-ijolite (pyroxene > nepheline with biotite and andradite-schorlomitic garnet) and wollastinite ijolite.
3. Potassic syenitic rocks – Na-poor potassium feldspar, nepheline and pyroxene
4. Heterogeneous carbonatite (II) – wide modal variations of calcite, apatite, mica, olivine and magnetite with accessory Na-Ca-pyrochlore, U-Ta-bearing pyrochlore, Pb-pyrochlore, niobian zirconolite, perovskite-latrappite-loparite solid solution, baddeleyite and pyrite.
5. Dolomitic carbonatite – found only in a small area at the northern margin. Lacks apatite and mica.
Prairie Lake Complex has been explored by Nuinsco Resources Limited in search of uranium, niobium,
tantalum and REE’s with apatite and wollastonite as by-products (Nuinsco website:
http://www.nuinsco.ca/projects/prairie-lake/).
7.3 Property Geology and Mineralization
The Good Hope Property consists of paragneiss and metasedimentary bedrock and alkali granite, ijolite and
carbonatite. The alkali granite shows variable degrees of fenitization and brecciation. Alkali granite breccia
has carbonatite veins/ matrix between the clasts. Three types of carbonatite are found on the property:
calciocarbonatite, ferrocarbonatite and silicocarbonatite.
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp
Sept. 5, 2017 J-J MINERALS Page | 38
The airborne EM apparent resistivity at 33840 Hz map suggests that the Prairie Lake Carbonatite Complex
proper is surrounded by a 1.0 to 1.5 km wide outer ring which includes most of the Good Hope Property
(Figure 7-2). The peripheral region of the main complex has the potential to host late stage carbonatite
dykes and veins similar to the carbonatite veins in the alkali granite breccia at Site #28.
The airborne magnetics high correlate with ijolite and magnetic low correlates with swamps and lakes
which are possible weathered carbonatites. The total counts radiometric high at Site #28 correlates with
elevated potassium in the alkali granite (Figure 6-10).
Figure 7-2 Good Hope apparent resistivity map at 33840 Hz (from OGS GDS 1104).
The Property hosts Niobium mineralization in pyrochlore (a Nb-oxide mineral). The Niobium
mineralization differs from that in Prairie Lake Complex in that it is low in Th and U contents (section 6.3).
Two paragentic varieties of carbonatites were identified on the basis of mineral abundances and textures:
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp
Sept. 5, 2017 J-J MINERALS Page | 39
pyrochlore-rich and pyrochlore-poor (Cleaver, 2017). The pyrochlore-poor phase represents a later stage of
crystallization (Cleaver, 2017). The pyrochlore-rich carbonatite contains early crystallized cumulates of
apatite and Na-Ca pyrochlore with interstitial carbonate minerals (Cleaver, 2017).
8.0 DEPOSIT TYPES
Carbonatites are defined in the IUGS system of classification as igneous rocks composed of more the 50
modal % of primary carbonate and less than 20% SiO2 (LeMaitre, 2002). Since carbonatites can be derived
from a variety of genetically distinct parental magmas, Mitchell (2005) devised a mineralogical-genetic
classification in which carbonatites are defined as any igneous rocks containing greater than arbitrary,
although practical, 30 vol.% primary igneous carbonate, regardless of silica content.
Many plutonic and hypabyssal carbonatites represent rocks formed in magma chambers underlying
volcanic complexes (Mitchell, 2015). For example, the Napak volcano, Uganda volcanic system consists
of two parts: a central complex of carbonatite and modally-diverse rocks of the ijolite suite and fenites; and
the remnants of a nephelinite volcanic cone. The central calcite carbonatite is concentrically and vertically
banded and forms a 400 m diameter plug from which dykes extend into the ijolite complex. The carbonatite-
ijolite complex is considered to represent a plutonic/hypabyssal rocks which crystallized from a nephelinitic
parental magma in the conduit of the volcano. Caldron subsidence can be expected to have occurred in the
formation of carbonatite-silicate rock complexes which now lack associated remnant volcanic cones.
Mitchell (2015) summarized the general characteristics of carbonatite complexes: the majority of
carbonatite – silicate rock complexes are circular to elliptical intrusions in planar cross section. Cone sheets
and ring dykes are common, Typically the sequence of intrusion is silicate rocks, calcite carbonatites,
dolomite carbonatites and ferrocarbonatites followed by carbohydrothermal veins. Several generations of
magmatism can occur leading to very complex cross cutting relationships. Megaxenoliths of silicate rocks
can be found within carbonatite units and vice versa. The complexes are commonly surrounded by a zone
of sodium metasomatism termed fenitization. Niobium mineralization can be associated with any of the
rocks occurring in the complexes, apart from the later stage ferrocarbonatites which have a better potential
for rare earth element deposits than niobium.

9.0 2017 EXPLORATION
9.1 Aboriginal Consultation
The First Nation community in close proximity to the Good Hope Property is an Ojibway Pic River First
Nation located on the northern shore of Lake Superior at the mouth of the Pic River, east of Marathon
(Figure 4-1).
On the morning of June 7, 2017, Anthony Cohen, President and CEO of Plato, and Rudy Wahl, property
owner, met with members of the Pic River First Nations: Ms. Juanita Starr, Economic Development
Manager and her colleague Brittney to discuss the Good Hope Project. Mr. Cohen gave both Juanita and
Brittney his business card. The Pic River FN members said that they have eager workers who would be
available for employment opportunities when the time comes. Mr. Wahl and Mr. Cohen thanked them and
told them that they would keep them updated on the project as it progresses to the next exploration stages.
9.2 Prospecting, Mapping and Sampling
9.2.1 Personnel
The prospecting, mapping and sampling took place June 5 to 29, 2017 and was conducted by Carlos
Chamale, senior geologist for J-J Minerals, and Joseph Suk, junior geologist for Plato. Julie Selway,
Principal Geologist for J-J Minerals visited the Property with Mr. Chamale and Mr. Suk on June 5, 2017 to
review Property access and the geology at Site #28. Julie Selway, Carlos Chamale, Joseph Suk, Rudy Wahl
(Property owner), and Anthony Cohen (President and CEO of Plato) visited the Property on June 6, 2017
to review the geology at Site #28 and Site #21A focusing on outcrops previously identified by Mr. Wahl.
Julie Selway, Thomas Chudy, Ph.D. expert on carbonatites from University of British Columbia, Carlos
Chamale, Joseph Suk and Rudy Wahl visited the Property on June 22, 2017 to review the geology of Site
#28 and Site #21A including a visit outcrops previously identified by Mr. Wahl and outcrops identified by
Mr. Chamale during this mapping program.
9.2.2 Methodology
The prospecting focused on the west side of the Property as this side has easy access using the Deadhorse
Creek Road. Traverse maps of for the prospecting is given in Appendix 5. A review of the property data
was used to select exploration targets with the most chance of finding ijolite and carbonatite. The geology
map of the Prairie Lake Carbonatite Complex indicates that the complex mostly consists of ijolite and
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon

carbonatite. Exploration targeting searched for ijolite which were magnetic highs and topographic highs in
hopes of finding the carbonatite in the swamps and lakes with magnetic lows next to the ijolite. The
sampling consisted of due diligence samples of previously identified high grade outcrops and exploration
targets identified during this program.
A review of Forestry Inventory satellite orthophotos indicates that the colour and texture of the vegetation
in the images reflects the lithology. For example, the trees on Site #28 have a bluish hue similar to those at
Site #21A. The satellite images were used to distinguish between lithology units, but the ground truthing
was required to identify what each lithology unit was.
The mapping team walked along the flight path lines of the airborne mag and EM geophysics survey and
airborne radiometrics survey to make a direct comparison between the lithology with the geophysics
signature. This helped the team to correlate the total counts radiometric anomaly at Site #28 with the
abundance of alkali granite. The mapping team also walked along the boundary of a magnetic high and low
anomalies in search of ijolite with patches of carbonatite that have not yet been weathered. Since the rocks
were covered with thick moss, a scintillometer was used to locate radioactive rocks covered by moss or
overburden. Elevated scintillometer readings often corresponded with the presence of fine-grained
pyrochlore (Nb-mineral). HCl acid was used to confirm the presence of carbonate minerals in the field.
The field data was imported into the Arc several times a week and exploration targets were adjusted as the
correlation between the geophysics signature and the lithology was figured out and more lithological data
was collected. Rough lithology boundaries were plotted in the Arc.
The exploration team recorded the sample number, UTM coordinates, rock type and sample description for
each of the samples submitted for assay. Samples submitted for assay included carbonatite, ijolite, alkali
granite with carbonatite veining and any rocks with carbonate mineralization. A representative fresh sample
was chipped off the outcrop to put into the sample bag. Digital photos were taken of the outcrop from which
the sample came from and close up of the actual sample. The photo files were named with the sample
number. A sample tag was put in the bag with the sample and the bag was sealed with flagging tape. At the
end of the mapping program, the samples to be assayed were cut so that a slice was kept for future reference
and mineralogical studies. A total of 55 samples were collected and submitted for assay (Table 9-1). A
description of these samples is given in Appendix 2 and plotted in Figure 9-7 and Figure 9-9.

The exploration team also described each outcrop/boulder that they reviewed which did not contain
carbonates (e.g., paragneiss, metasediment and alkali granite). For these outcrops, the team recorded a
mapping station number, UTM coordinates, rock type and sample description. A total of 201 outcrop
stations were described (Table 9-2) and they are given in Appendix 3 and plotted in Figure 9-8 and Figure
9-10.

9.2.3 Results
The mapping program consisted of due diligence sampling of previously recognized high grade samples
and discovery of additional ijolite and carbonatite occurrences in four distinct areas on the Property (Figure
9-1). Discovery of new ijolite and carbonatite occurrences is significant because niobium mineralization in
the Prairie Lake complex occurs in both ijolite and carbonatite, although carbonatites are the dominate host
of the niobium mineralization. The Good Hope Property claims surround the Prairie Lake complex. The
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp

observation that ijolite and carbonatite occurs in several areas throughout the Property increases the
exploration potential for niobium mineralization throughout the Property. Plato’s exploration team
successfully predicted the location of the ijolite occurrences on the basis of the high magnetic anomalies
and topographic highs. Plato’s exploration team used the ijolite locations as a pathfinder to find additional
carbonatite occurrences. The carbonatite is easily weathered and possibly occurs in the swamps and lakes
near ijolite occurrences.
Plato’s due diligence sampling confirmed outcrops with anomalous Niobium (Nb) and Phosphorus (P)
values and the summer mapping program identified new areas of anomalous Nb and P. Plato’s due diligence
sampling at the Discovery Pit #1 found 1.055 %Nb2O5 and 9.25 % P2O5. Plato will use the location of the
anomalous Nb samples, magnetic lows and topographic lows (e.g. swamps and lakes) to aid in drill targeting
for carbonatite for the fall drill program.
The four areas of mineralization identified during this mapping program are: Site #28 (claim 4256251), Site
#21A (claim 4246269), sites #22 and 25 (claim 4256252) and Site #37 (claim 4256259) (Figure 9-1 and
Appendix 4). Although these mineralized sites were previously known, Plato’s exploration team increased
the area of the mineralized sites and found new mineralized outcrops within these sites.

Figure 9-1 Good Hope Niobium Property geology map and 2017 sample locations.
An examination of the geology and mineralogy of the outcrops on the Good Hope Niobium Property helped
Plato’s exploration team better understand the mineralized system. It was noted that high-grade Nb
mineralization (>1.0 wt.% Nb2O5) occurs predominantly within carbonatite veins that contain apatite and
highly concentrated pyrochlore (i.e., main Nb-carrier). Mineralogical studies by Dr. Roger Mitchell and
Amy Cleaver concluded that there are two types of carbonatite at Good Hope: pyrochlore-rich and
pyrochlore-poor (Rudy Wahl website:
http://users.renegadeisp.com/~rwahl/Prairie%20Lake%20Rare%20Earth%20Property.htm). Ms. Cleaver’s
thesis concluded that the pyrochlore-rich carbonatite contains early crystallized cumulates of apatite and
Na-Ca pyrochlore with interstitial carbonate minerals (Figure 6-6) (Cleaver, 2017). The distribution of the
apatite cumulates within the carbonatite veins is heterogeneous and prone to cause a nugget effect during
sampling. The mineralized carbonatite veins are accompanied by a suite of smaller carbonatite veins that
have variable compositions ranging from Fe-Mg-rich to Si-rich varieties with variable Nb concentrations.
Plato’s exploration team is using this information together with geophysical and geological data to
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp
Sept. 5, 2017 J-J MINERALS Page | 45
ultimately find the source of the mineralized carbonatite veins. The results from the sampling program at
four sites are encouraging as they indicate the presence of a mineralized carbonatite system.
9.2.4 Site #28 (Claim 4256251, northwestern part of property)
The prospecting and geological mapping examined the lithology of outcrops (Figure 9-2). The grab samples
colour coded by Nb (ppm) and the described outcrops are plotted in Figure 9-7 and Figure 9-8. This claim
consists of alkali granite breccia with a carbonatite matrix and minor ijolite. The alkali granite shows
variable degrees of brecciation and fenitization (alteration to Na-amphibole and biotite) in drill core PL-01.
Figure 9-2 Good Hope Property, Site #28, historic and 2017 sampling map with satellite image background, claim 4256251.
The high ground on Site #28 corresponds to an airborne radiometric total counts high anomaly related to
the potassium content of the alkali granite breccia. To the north of the high ground is a swamp which
corresponds to a magnetic low and possibly the location of the carbonatite.

Plato’s due diligence sampling the Discovery Pit #1 and Trench TR-01-PL-15 confirms the presence of
high grade niobium and phosphorus mineralization.
Discovery Pit #1
Plato’s due diligence sampling at the Discovery Pit #1 found 1.055 % Nb2O5 and 9.25 % P2O5 (sample
1077352, Figure 9-3). Plato’s pit sample contains Fe-rich calcio-carbonatite with common calcite, ankerite,
apatite and 2% pyrochlore. This pit was originally sampled by Rudy Wahl in 2014 and was subsequently
sampled by MNDM Resident Geologists in 2014 and MDN Inc. in 2015 (Puumala et al., 2015, OFR 6303
and MNDM Assessment Report 2.56640). All of the assay results are similar for Nb (Table 9-3).

9.2.5 Site #21A (Claims 4246269, 4246255 and 4256253, southwestern part of
Property)
The mapping program covered a 1.5 by 2.5 km area within these claims, the majority of which were not
previously prospected or sampled. The grab samples colour coded by Nb (ppm) and the described outcrops
are plotted in Figure 9-9 and Figure 9-10. The highlights of the mapping include (Figure 9-6):
• Discovery of a 700 m long northeast trending alkali granite breccia with carbonatite matrix pointing towards Prairie Lake. It is not known if the carbonatite continues under the lake.
• Discovery of a 1.8 km long northwest trending ijolite characterized by a magnetic high anomaly. This ijolite trend has an exploration potential to host niobium mineralization as ijolite hosts niobium mineralization in Prairie Lake complex.
Plato’s due diligence sampling of the Site #21A pit confirmed the presence of anomalous niobium and
phosphorus mineralization:
• Plato’s due diligence sampling at Site #21A pit found 764 ppm Nb and 1.70 % P2O5 in calcio-carbonatite with 1% pyrochlore and 257 ppm Nb and 0.41 % P2O5 in ferro-carbonatite with 1% pyrochlore (Table 9-6).
• Plato’s samples were taken from the same pit as MDN Inc.’s 2015 sample with 340 ppm Nb and Rudy Wahl’s sample with 0.906 % Nb2O5 and 9.89 % P2O5 (MNDM assessment report 2.56640).
Plato’s due diligence sampling of dark red fenitized alkali granite (sample 1077390) with interstitial
carbonate contains anomalous 554 ppm Nb (Table 9-6). In 2015, MDN Inc.’s collected 5 samples from the
same outcrop with assays of 258, 351, 424, 458 and 740 ppm Nb (MNDM assessment report 2.56640). This
outcrop is similar to the fenitized alkali granite with carbonatite veins at Site #28 and could be used as an
exploration pathfinder to carbonatite intrusive bodies at Site #21A.
Plato’s sampling of ijolite with patches of carbonatite shows that anomalous niobium contents can occur in
both rock types. Plato’s assay of dark grey to black mela-ijolite (sample 1077386) contains 114 ppm Nb
and the patches of calcio-carbonatite within it (sample 1077389) contains 145 ppm Nb. This occurrence is
a topographic high of dominantly ijolite with a swamp next to it. Similar to Site #28, the main carbonatite
occurrence could be located in the swamp. This is a future exploration target for carbonatite.
Plato’s new outcrops of anomalous niobium values range from 112 to 349 ppm Nb (Table 9-6). The location
of these anomalous samples can be used as an exploration pathfinder to find carbonatite intrusive bodies at
Site #21A.

9.2.6 Site #22 and 25 (Claim 4256252, south of Deadhorse Creek Road)
The mapping program sampled ijolite and silico-carbonatite in this claim. The grab samples colour coded
by Nb (ppm) and the described outcrops are plotted in Figure 9-7 and Figure 9-8. The mapping program
discovered a 70 m northwest trending ijolite which corresponds to a magnetic high anomaly. The ijolite is
on a topographic high and the carbonatite is possibly in the adjacent topographic low ground.
Plato’s due diligence sampling of 2011 trench TR-PL-11-001 at Site #22 also confirms the presence of
anomalous niobium and phosphorus:
• Plato’s due diligence sampling of silicio-carbonatite found 287 ppm Nb and 1.64 % P2O5 and 130 ppm Nb and 5.69 % P2O5 in a ferro-carbonatite. Fenitized alkali granite with carbonate + galena veinlets contained 224 ppm Nb (Table 9-7).
• Canadian International assayed 19 grab samples in 2011 from the same trench with a range of 3 to
496 ppm Nb and an average of 172 ppm Nb (MNDM assessment report 2.50419).
9.2.7 Site #37 (Claim 4256259, west of Site #28)
This claim contains similar alkali granite with carbonatite as Site #28. The grab samples colour coded by
Nb (ppm) and the described outcrops are plotted in Figure 9-7 and Figure 9-8. Plato’s due diligence
sampling of the Site #37 confirms the presence of anomalous niobium and phosphorus: Plato’s due
diligence sampling of a silicio-carbonatite at Site #37 contains 657 ppm Nb and 2.36 % P2O5 (Table 9-7).
MDN Inc.’s 2015 sample from the same outcrop contains 597 ppm Nb, and Rudy Wahl’s sample contains
0.157 % Nb2O5 (1097 ppm Nb) Nb2O5 and 1.50 % P2O5 (MNDM assessment report 2.56640).

9.3 Relogging of Drill Hole PL-01
Julie Selway and Thomas Chudy relogged drill core for PL-01 at MNDM core library in Thunder Bay on
June 23 and 24, 2017 (Appendix 6). Historic drill hole PL-01 was centered on a radiometric anomaly on
Site #28, claim 4256251 is described in section 6.5. The drill core was not resampled and assayed, as the
historic assays are sufficient to indicate the presence of niobium mineralization on the Good Hope Property
at this early stage of exploration. Intervals with elevated levels of niobium mineralization were visually
checked for pyrochlore mineralization.
Detailed due diligence relogging and photographing of drill hole PL-01 by Plato’s exploration team showed
an excellent correlation between the rock types found in the surface trench TR-01-PL15 and drill core
(Figure 9-2). The relogging helped the team better understand the niobium mineralization. The drill core
shows several generations of carbonatite and patches rich in pyrochlore mineralization. Drill hole PL-01
contains up to 0.450 % Nb2O5 and 1.85 % P2O5 over 1 m in carbonatite. Multiple generations of apatite
associated with the carbonatite and the niobium mineralization were identified using ultraviolet light.
The dominant lithology in this drill hole was alkali granite with variable amounts of fenitization and
carbonatite veins. The alkali granite is fine to medium-grained and characterized by the abundance of
orange to red K-feldspar and quartz (Figure 9-11).
The breccia zone consists of clasts of alkali granite which has been fenitized (rimmed by black mixture of
blue-green amphiboles and biotite) with a carbonatite matrix interstitial to the clasts (Figure 9-11).
Three types of carbonatite was noted in the drill core (Figure 9-12):
1. Fine-grained, pinkish-grey Fe-rich carbonatite
2. Fine-grained, grey calcite carbonatite with lots of fizz reaction with HCl
3. Silicocarbonatite with fine-grained “salt and pepper” texture, melanocratic, 30-40% mafics and 60-70% carbonates
The distribution of the pyrochlore in the carbonatites is heterogeneous and in some intervals is abundant
(Figure 9-13). The apatite has several different habits: platy/scaly and fine-grained hairs which are white
under the ultraviolet light.

10.0 DRILLING
Plato has not completed any drilling on the Property, but Plato did relog the historic drill hole PL-01 from
Site #28, claim 4256251 (section 9.3).
11.0 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY
11.1 Sample Security
Samples for assay were collected by Carlos Chamale, senior geologist for J-J Minerals and Fladgate
Exploration Consulting Corporation’s (“Fladgate”). Sample bags were tied with flagging tape and placed
in rice bags. The rice bags were stored in Fladgate’s warehouse in Thunder Bay and then representative
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp
Sept. 5, 2017 J-J MINERALS Page | 62
slices were cut from each sample for future mineralogical studies by Fladgate. Fladgate delivered the
samples to Actlabs preparation lab in Thunder Bay.
11.2 Sample Preparation
External standards, blanks and field duplicates were not inserted into the sample stream because the purpose
of the sampling program was regional prospecting over multiple claims to identify the location of the
mineralization. These grab samples will not be used in a future resource estimate. Actlabs will insert internal
standards, blanks, pulp duplicates and preparation duplicates and these will be used to monitor the accuracy
and precision of the assays.
Actlabs’ Quality System is accredited to international quality standards through the International
Organization for Standardization /International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) 17025 (ISO/IEC
17025 includes ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 specifications) with CAN-P-1578 (Forensics), CAN-P-1579
(Mineral Analysis) and CAN-P-1585 (Environmental) for specific registered tests by the Standards Council
of Canada (“SCC”). The accreditation program includes ongoing audits which verify the QA system and
all applicable registered test methods. ISO 17025 is the main standard used by testing and calibration
laboratories. Actlabs’ analytical lab in Ancaster has ISO 17025 certification.
11.3 Sample Analyses
The samples were prepared using analytical code RX1 which is a dry crush of the entire sample to 90% -
10 mesh followed by a riffle split and pulverization of a 250 g sample to 95% -200 mesh.
The samples were then assayed using analytical code 4Litho which uses lithium tetraborate fusion digestion
followed by analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma (“ICP”) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass
Spectrometry (“ICPMS”). Elements analyzed include major oxides, trace elements and rare earth elements.
Fusion digests the entire sample and is the best method to analyze major oxides, refractory minerals and
REE minerals.
High grade Nb samples are also analyzed by analytical code Nb-XRF Assay which Nb2O5 is analyzed in
a fusion glass disc by X-ray Fluorescence (“XRF”).
A total of 55 grab samples were collected and submitted for assay from six claims (Table 9-1, Appendices
2 and 7). No QC samples were inserted in the sample stream as the purpose of the assays was regional
prospecting for Niobium mineralization. Reliance on Actlabs’ internal blanks, standards and duplicates to
monitor QA/QC is sufficient for this purpose.
Assessment Report Good Hope Niobium Property, Marathon
Plato Gold Corp
Sept. 5, 2017 J-J MINERALS Page | 63
Actlabs inserted internal standards, blanks, pulp duplicates and preparation duplicates within each sample
batch as part of their own internal monitoring of quality control. The Nb high-grade standards analyzed by
FUS-XRF were SX18-04 with a certified value of 1.32 % Nb2O5, SX18-05 with a certified value of 0.973
% Nb2O5 and SARM 3 with a certified value of 0.143 % Nb2O5. The Nb low grade standards analyzed by
FUS-MS were SARDM 3 with a certified value of 978 ppm Nb, JR-1 with a certified value of 15.2 ppm
Nb and W-2a with a certified value of 7.9. One method internal blank was inserted in the sample stream.
All of the internal standards and blank passed. Three pulp duplicates and one preparation duplicate were
analyzed and they all passed.
In the QP’s opinion the sample preparation, security and analytical procedure is adequate and to industry
standard for the purpose of due diligence of previous assayed samples and regional prospecting.
12.0 DATA VERIFICATION
12.1 Quality Control
All of Actlabs internal standards, blanks and duplicates passed. In the QP’s opinion, the assay data is
adequate for the purpose of the due diligence sampling and regional prospecting.
13.0 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
The Good Hope Property is located approximately 45 km northwest of Marathon and 28 km north of
Highway 17. The Good Hope Property consists of paragneiss and metasedimentary bedrock and alkali
granite, ijolite and carbonatite. The alkali granite shows variable degrees of fenitization and brecciation.
Alkali granite breccia has carbonatite veins/ matrix between the clasts. Three types of carbonatite are found
on the property: calciocarbonatite, ferrocarbonatite and silicocarbonatite.
The Property hosts Niobium mineralization in pyrochlore. The Niobium mineralization differs from that in
Prairie Lake Complex in that it is low in Th and U contents. Two paragentic varieties of carbonatites were
identified on the basis of mineral abundances and textures: pyrochlore-rich and pyrochlore-poor. The
pyrochlore-poor phase represents a later stage of crystallization. The pyrochlore-rich carbonatite contains
early crystallized cumulates of apatite and Na-Ca pyrochlore with interstitial carbonate minerals.

Plato Gold’s June 2017 exploration program consisted of Aboriginal Consultation, prospecting, mapping
and sampling and relogging historic hole PL-01. The goal was to complete due diligence sampling on know
Niobium occurrences and to find new Niobium mineralization in carbonatite and ijolite.
The First Nation community in close proximity to the Good Hope Property is an Ojibway Pic River First
Nation located on the northern shore of Lake Superior at the mouth of the Pic River, east of Marathon. On
the morning of June 7, 2017, Anthony Cohen, President and CEO of Plato, and Rudy Wahl, property owner,
met with members of the Pic River First Nations: Ms. Juanita Starr, Economic Development Manager and
her colleague Brittney to discuss the Good Hope Project.
Plato Gold completed prospecting, mapping and sampling June 5 to 29, 2017 on the Good Hope Property.
A total of 55 carbonatite, ijolite and alkali granite samples were collected and submitted for assay on six
claims. The exploration team also described each outcrop/boulder that they reviewed which did not contain
carbonates (e.g., paragneiss, metasediment and alkali granite). A total of 201 outcrop stations were
described.
The mapping program consisted of due diligence sampling of previously recognized high grade samples
and discovery of additional ijolite and carbonatite occurrences in four distinct areas on the Property. Plato’s
due diligence sampling at the Discovery Pit #1 found 1.055 %Nb2O5 and 9.25 % P2O5. Plato’s due diligence
grab sample from 2015 Trench TR-01-PL-15 found 1.053 % Nb2O5 and 6.73 % P2O5. The four areas of
mineralization identified during this mapping program are: Site #28 (claim 4256251), Site #21A (claim
4246269), sites #22 and 25 (claim 4256252) and Site #37 (claim 4256259). Although these mineralized
sites were previously known, Plato’s exploration team increased the area of the mineralized sites and found
new mineralized outcrops within these sites. Site visits to the Property took place on June 5, 6 and 22, 2017.
Plato’s exploration team also found new outcrops of niobium mineralization. At Site #28, an outcrop of
syenite (or fenitized alkali granite) with ferro-carbonatite veins contains 393 ppm Nb in the ferro-
carbonatite and 186 ppm Nb in the syenite with carbonatite veins. The location of these anomalous Nb
samples can be used as an exploration pathfinder to find carbonatite intrusive bodies at Site #28. The
mapping program also discovered a 70 m long ijolite dyke within the alkali granite breccia and carbonatite
matrix at Site #28. This ijolite dyke connects trenches TR-04A-PL15 and TR-04B-PL15 ijolite with a new
outcrop of ijolite 70 m to the west.
The mapping program covered a 1.5 by 2.5 km area within Site #21A (claims 4246269, 4246255 and
4256253), the majority of which were not previously prospected or sampled. The highlights of the mapping
include: discovery of a 700 m long northeast trending alkali granite breccia with carbonatite matrix pointing

towards Prairie Lake. It is not known if the carbonatite continues under the lake. Also, discovery of a 1.8
km long northwest trending ijolite characterized by a magnetic high anomaly. Plato’s due diligence
sampling at Site #21A pit found 764 ppm Nb and 1.70 % P2O5 in calcio-carbonatite with 1% pyrochlore
and 257 ppm Nb and 0.41 % P2O5 in ferro-carbonatite with 1% pyrochlore. Plato’s new outcrops of
anomalous niobium values at Site #21A range from 112 to 349 ppm Nb.
The mapping program sampled ijolite and silico-carbonatite at Site #22 and 25 (Claim 4256252). The
mapping program discovered a 70 m northwest trending ijolite which corresponds to a magnetic high
anomaly. The ijolite is on a topographic high and the carbonatite is possibly in the adjacent topographic
low ground. Plato’s due diligence sampling of 2011 trench TR-PL-11-001 at Site #22 also confirms the
presence of anomalous niobium and phosphorus: Plato’s due diligence sampling of silicio-carbonatite found
287 ppm Nb and 1.64 % P2O5 and 130 ppm Nb and 5.69 % P2O5 in a ferro-carbonatite. Fenitized alkali
granite with carbonate + galena veinlets contained 224 ppm Nb.
Site #37 (Claim 4256259) contains similar alkali granite with carbonatite as Site #28. Plato’s due diligence
sampling of a silicio-carbonatite at Site #37 contains 657 ppm Nb and 2.36 % P2O5.
A Heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey (400 x 800 m) was flown on Aug. 3, 2016 by Prospectair on
behalf of Rudy Wahl on claim 4256251. A gamma-ray total counts anomaly occurs on the center of the
claim. Two drill holes were completed in September 2016 for a total of 280.7 m on an airborne radiometric
anomaly near Site #28, claim 4256251. The assay highlights for drill hole PL-01 include 0.45 % Nb2O5
over 1.0 m and 6.25 % P2O5 over 1.0 m. The assay highlights for drill hole PL-02 include 0.34 % Nb2O5
over 1.0 m and 5.81 % P2O5 over 1.0 m. The Niobium mineralization in drill core is associated with
carbonatite.
Julie Selway and Thomas Chudy relogged drill core for PL-01 from claim 4256251 at MNDM core library
in Thunder Bay on June 23 and 24, 2017. The drill core was not resampled and assayed, as the historic
assays are sufficient to indicate the presence of niobium mineralization on the Good Hope Property at this
early stage of exploration. Intervals with elevated levels of niobium mineralization were visually checked
for pyrochlore mineralization. Detailed due diligence relogging and photographing of drill hole PL-01 by
Plato’s exploration team showed an excellent correlation between the rock types found in the surface trench
TR-01-PL15 and drill core. The drill core shows several generations of carbonatite and patches rich in
pyrochlore mineralization. Multiple generations of apatite associated with the carbonatite and the niobium
mineralization were identified using ultraviolet light.

In conclusion, the prospecting and sampling of the Good Hope Niobium Property successfully confirmed
the historic sampling and identified new carbonatite and ijolite outcrops with anomalous Niobium and
Phosphorus. Re-logging of the previous drill hole PL-01 visually confirmed the presence of pyrochlore
associated with apatite in carbonatite veins. The areas of anomalous Niobium and Phosphorous can be used
as exploration pathfinders to find additional mineralization.
14.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Carbonatite is easily weathered and thus difficult to find in outcrop. The carbonatite is likely in the swamps
on the Property. It is preserved as the matrix within the alkali granite breccia and in contact with ijolite on
the Good Hope Property. The Qualified Person recommends a drill program to search for pyrochlore
mineralization hosted by carbonatite.
The QP recommends a 1200 m drill program consisting of 3 holes at 300 m each and 3 holes at 100 m each.
The drill holes should target under the swamps at Sites #28 and 21A. The purpose of the 300 m long holes
is to drill deep enough to locate a large carbonatite body. Three holes will need to be drilled at each site in
order to model the orientation of the carbonatite body in 3D. Once the carbonatite body has been identified
the location of the drill holes can be adjusted to intersect it again. A budget for the drill program is given in
Table 14-1.
