SUMMARY

A ground geophysical program consisting of magnetometer and horizontal

loop EM surveys was successfully completed by MPH Consulting Limited dur

ing the period July l to 24, 1986 at the request of Coventry Ventures

Inc. of Vancouver, B.C. over portions of the latter's 34 claim property

in the Atikokan area of northwestern Ontario.

Located within the west-central portion of the Quetico metavolcanic/met

greenstone belt, this property is inferred from prior exploration, moder

ate outcrop and geophysical information to be predominantly underlain by

northeast-trending metasediments intruded by lenticular ultramafics rang

ing in composition from pyroxenite to peridotite. This geological sett

ing is favourable for polymetallic Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd sulphide deposits as evi

denced by the better explored deposit at Lac Des Iles to the east and,

most particularly, by the two known occurrences on the present property.

Previous exploration, principally carried out in 1929 and 1957, consisted

of shallow trenching, limited ground geophysical surveys and several

drill campaigns, directed mainly at Cu-Ni sulphide targets. The previous

drill holes tested several geologic targets, intersecting serpentinized

ultramafics containing sulphidic zones. Anomalous platinum values up to

a 0.07 oz/t Pt and 0.07 oz/t Pd over 5 ft plus low Cu and Ni values are

reported in drilling conducted by Nashua Exploration and Mining Ltd. in

the western part of the property.

The geophysical program consisted of detailed magnetometer and horizontal

loop EM surveys undertaken on two grids (west and east) totalling 19 km

to detect conductive ^ magnetic features that might constitute favourable

targets for platinum and/or polymetallic sulphide mineralization, and,

more generally, to provide an augmented understanding of the geology,

structure and economic potential of the property.

- li -

The magnetometer survey outlined with good confidence a complexly zoned

and disrupted lenticular ultramafic on the West Grid, whose location and

character conforms closely to that inferred from previous information.

On the East Grid, the magnetic survey revealed a series of disconnected

moderate anomalies thought to reflect narrow ultramafic intrusions; this

portrayal differs from the continuous character previously projected.

The MaxMin HLEM survey detected and partly delineated two possible bed

rock conductors located within or close to the ultramafics on the West

Grid. These could reflect poorly conductive sulphide zones of limited

strike length and hence are considered plausible targets for further ex

ploration. No credible conductor was detected on the East Grid that can

be correlated with the probable ultramafic rocks.

The property also retains a potential Pt-Pd mineralization associated

with non-conductive disseminated sulphides.

In view of the discerned potential of the property, further exploration

is recommended consisting of:

l . Geochemical sampling and geologic prospecting to define the possible

mineralization and its environment, and to correlate in detail pre

vious drilling and trenches with the present survey grid and results .

2. Reconnaissance TP/reslstivity surveys on selected grid lines to

search for sulphidized horizons or zones within the ultramafic host, as well as to confirm the probable extent of the ultramafics.

3. Contingent on the preceding results and based on an integrated eva

luation of all data, an initial diamond drill program, tentatively

estimated to consist of 10 short holes totalling 1,500 meters, to

evaluate those targets identified as having favourable geophysical

and/or geochemical characteristics.

l .0 INTRODUCTION

This report presents and discusses the results of a ground geophysical

program carried out by MPH Consulting Limited of Toronto at the request

of Coventry Ventures Inc. of Vancouver, B.C., over portions of the

latter's property near Atikokan in northwestern Ontario.

The geophysical programs, consisting of magnetometer and HLEM surveys,

was undertaken to detect and define conductive zones that could reflect

economic gold or polymetallic sulphide mineralization, to define associa

ted magnetic features and more generally to better understand the geology

and structure of the property.

The report includes a description of the various exploration techniques,

an appraisal of the individual results as well as an integrated evalua

tion, followed by recommendations for further exploration of the precious

metal potential of the property.

2 .0 LOCATION, ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE

The Bedivere Lake property is situated within the Atikokan-Shebandowan

sector of the Thunder Bay Mining District of northwestern Ontario (Figure

1).

The claim group is located approximately 120 km west-northwest of Thunder

Bay, Ontario. It is centered approximately at longitude 90" 54' 30",

latitude 48" 46' 30" onN.T.S. sheet 52-B-15.

Access to the property is facilitated by a logging road (Great Lakes

Paper Ltd.) which passes within 500 m of the western property boundary.

This road departs north from Highway 11 at a point approximately 30 km

west of Kashabowie. A series of lakes provides boat access to the east

ern portion of the claim group from the above logging road.

The terrain is greatly undulating. Overburden appears to be relatively

shallow in both upland and swamp covered areas with the ultramafics form

ing intermittently exposed ridges. Forest cover consists of red pine,

spruce, balsam fir, birch and poplar, with local areas of dense under

brush. A large part of the western end of the property has been recently

logged, leaving behind a heavy cover of deadfall, brush piles and dense

new underbrush.

The property is well located with respect to infrastructure in that a CNR

railway line and an electric power transmission lines pass six km south

of the property.

4 .0 GEOLOGY

4.1 Regional Geology

The Bedivere Lake claims are located within the Precambrian metavol-

canic-metasedimentary belt in northwestern Ontario. As seen in Map

2022 (Western Lac des Mille Lacs Area) at a scale of l inch to l

mile (Irvine, 1963), a portion of which is reproduced as Figure 3,

the general geology of the Bedivere Lake area can be simply describ

ed as a narrow east-west trending band of metavolcanic rocks border

ed by a granitic batholith on the north and in fault contact with a

complex turbidite-metasedimentary sequence to the south. The fault

is characterized by a band of chlorite schist. It is thought that

the metavolcanic rocks underlie the metasediments.

The metavolcanics and metasediments have been locally cut by numer

ous ultramafic intrusions in the form of irregular dykes and small

stocks. These have been subdivided petrologically into peridotite,

hornblendite and feldspathic hornblendite.

The above rocks display a variable foliation oriented east-west to

northeast with a vertical to north dipping attitude.

Small stocks and dykes of quartz monzonite and dykes of diabase have

been observed cutting all of the above rocks.

4.2 Property Geology

The following brief descriptions of the geology underlying the Bedi

vere Lake property are adapted from upon a summary presented in the

report by Sears (1986) based on data obtained from O.G.S. assessment

files, a report on the geological mapping of the Western Lac Des

Mille Lacs Area (Irvine, 1963), and a brief geological, reconnaissan

ce in early September 1985.

- 7 -

The property is underlain by a sequence of metasedimentary rocks in

truded by separate bodies of ultramafic composition. The metasedi

mentary rocks are classed as paragneiss and are composed of quartz 4-

plagioclase + biotite + garnet + staurolite. They are strongly

foliated with foliation planes striking 070 0 and dipping 80 0 -85 0 to

wards the north, although local variations caused by the proximity

to intrusive rocks and structural features are common. Quartz

lenses, stringers and gash fillings as well as dykes of aplite occur

locally.

The larger western ultramafic intrusive consists of hornblendite and

feldspathic hornblendite with a central core of pyroxenite and horn

blende peridotite. The smaller, elongated eastern intrusion is made

up of hornblendite and feldspathic hornblendite. The ultramafic

rocks vary from fine to coarse grained and locally display intense

alteration (sericite-carbonate-biotite-chlorite-talc-sperpentine-

magnetite) and sulphide minerals, the latter consisting mainly of

pyrrhotite (both magnetic and non-magnetic varietites) and lesser

chalcopyrite. Pentlandite and platinum group minerals are also

associated with the sulphide-rich zones although neither were obser

ved in hand specimen.

The western ultramafic intrusive is crudely lenticular in its sur

face exposure, at least 1,300 m in length and displaying a maximum

width of 300 m.

As seen in Geophysical Map 1113G, Bedivere Lake, the regional aero

magnetic data are characterized by a bland background, which pro

bably reflects the dominantly metasedimentary lithologies. Isolat

ed, moderate anomalies punctuate the background.

- 8 -

The eliptical magnetic high near the centre of the map reflects the

western ultramafic intrusion. Indications from magnetic data sug

gest a south to southwest plunging attitude.

The eastern ultramafic intrusive has a relatively narrow, irregular

dyke-like shape. As presently defined, it extends at least 480 m in

length and with a width up to 30 m. It appears to be near vertical

in cross-section.

The eastern ultramafic has no discernible aeromagnetic response at

the elevation and flight line spacing of the BSC survey, athough

some magnetic character is suggested in a more detailed ground sur

vey reproduced In Irvine's (1963) report.

Character sampling of several old trenches carried out by Sears con

firmed the presence of anomalous Pd and Pt accompanied by low values

in Cu and Ni in sulphide material in both the western and eastern

intrusive. Detailed correlation of past exploration with the pre

sent grid remains uncertain.

4 .3 Mineral Deposits and Exploration Models

The greenstone belts of northwestern Ontario harbour a rich endow

ment of precious and base metal deposits. These include classical

volcanogenic polymetallic massive sulphide deposits hosted by dif-i

ferentiated volcanic (Uchi Lake, Mattabi) or by gneissic sediments

of tuffaceous? origin (Geco); syngenetic/stzructural gold-sulphide

deposits associated with tuffs in a mixed volcanic/sedimentary en

vironment (Heralo) or with chemical sediments (Geraldton); Cu-Ni+Pt-

Pd deposits associated with gabbroic intrusions (Thiery) or with

serpentizied ultramafics (Lac des Iles).

- 9 -

In particular, the Quetico belt is considered to be favourable for

most of the above deposit types and is noteable for the presence of

Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd mineralization. The Lac des Iles Pd-Pt deposit is

located in the southern Wabigoon subprovince, immediately north of

the western continuation of the Quetico belt. Two interesting Pt-Pd

sulphide occurrences are found on the present property, and other

Cu-Ni prospects associated with mafic or ultramafic rocks are re

ported .

In addition, previous exploration has identified gold occurrences in

mixed volcanic/metasedimentary terrains, notably In the Shebandowan

area.

Economic interest in the Lac des Iles area began in the late 1950's.

Extensive exploration of the Lac des Iles gabbroic complex was un

dertaken by a variety of mining companies during the period from

1958 to the present. The work by Texas Gulf Canada Ltd. and Boston

Bay Mines Ltd. in 1976 revealed a deposit of 20.4 MT averaging 0.72

gm Pt and 5 .03 gm Pd per tonne in the Roby zone. Since the recent

sharp escalation in prices for the platinum group metals the deposit

is receiving renewed exploration by Madeleine Mines .

As summarized by Sutcliffe (1986), the deposit lies In the Lac des

Iles Complex, the largest of over 20 mafic to ultramafic plutons in

an east-northeast trending linear zone which extends over 200 km

from Atikokan, Ontario to Lake Nipigon. This zone approximately

parallels the boundary between the Quetico and Wabigoon Subprovin- ces, two major subdivisions of the Superior Province. Most of these

plutons are small plugs and dykes. Larger Intrusions such as the

Lac des Iles Complex have an upright conical shape.

The intrusions are late tectonic, emplaced Into granitoid host rocks

and many have well-preserved primary igneous mineralogy. The litho-

logies range in composition from ultramafic peridotite and-pyroxen

ite cumulates to magnesian gabbronorite and iron-rich gabbro.

- 10 -

Marginal zones rich in hornblendite occur around the perimeter of

some intrusions and are interpreted to be due to contamination of

mafic magma by a granitic component.

In the Lac des Iles Complex, the Roby Zone mineralization occurs

along the contact of a primitive gabbronorite phase and an evolved

iron- and volatile-rich gabbro phase. The PGM are associated with

disseminated and net-textured copper-nickel sulphides. Vysotskite,

(Pd, Ni) S, is the most abundant platinum group mineral. The PGM

are also associated with sulphide-bearing pegmatitic gabbro and

gabbro breccias developed at this contact.

Anomalous PGM concentrations have also been reported from several

other ultramafics and from the Tib Lake intrusion northwest of Lac

des Iles. In addition, significant PGM concentrations occur in the

small intrusions in the vicinity of Atikokan which suggests that the

entire zone of intrusions has important potential as a PGM metallo

genic province .

Mineralization in the Lac des Iles area is quite different from the

stratiform mineralization of large, well-layered Igneous intrusions

such as the Bushveld and Stillwater complexes. In this area, the

intrusions are small and although some layering is present, a well-

developed igneous cumulate stratigraphy Is absent. On both a re

gional and local scale, however, the intrusions exhibit features

similar to the zoned Alaskan ultramafic complexes. Key geological

features associated with potential PGM mineralization in this area

include:

1. an association with disseminated and net-textured sulphides;

2. identification of mixing zones of primitive and evolved magmas;

and

3. development of pegmatitic gabbroic rocks and breccias.

- 11 -

Thus from a geophysical perspective, detailed magnetic surveys are

anticipated to be beneficial in delineating host ultramafic charac

teristics as well as possibly identifying sulphide zones, while EM

surveys should detect zones of more concentrated, conductive sul

phides. IP surveys may prove useful in searching for zones of dis

seminated sulphides.

5.0 PREVIOUS WORK

The property and its immediate environs have been subjected to intermit

tent exploration over the past 60 years. The following recital is based

on a compilation of previous work assembled by Seymour Sears from assess

ment research.

Two occurrences of copper, nickel and platinum group elements were dis

covered through prospecting by James W. Lawrence in 1928. The Spence

Development Company Limited was formed in 1929 and a number of shallow

trenches were excavated. Five drill holes were reportedly completed on

the most easterly occurrence and four holes on the west occurrence.

Exact drill hole locations, logs and assay data are not available.

In 1957, the next date of reported exploration activity in this area,

Nashua Exploration and Mining Limited completed twelve drill holes on the

east occurrence in a program intended to locate an economic deposit of

copper an nickel. Nine of these holes intersected a favourable ultra

mafic intrusive body, outlining a strike length in excess of 500 m.

Sulphides were encountered in each of the nine holes mentioned above, but

the only available assays are from hole 3, the first hole to intersect

the ultramafic intrusive (pg., 1957). An average of 0.02 oz/ton Pt, 0.02

oz/ton Pd, Q.23% Ni and Q.53% Cu over 239 ft (between 234 and 473 ft) is

reported in O.G.S. Assessment Files. Individual five ft assays up to

0.07 oz/ton Pt, 0.07 oz/ton Pd, Q.31% Ni and 0.80% Cu are recorded. It

should be noted that hole 3 was oriented obliquely to the northwest trend

of the ultramafic body of the above intersections probably represent an

exaggerated true thicknesses. At the time of Page's report another hole

had been drilled from the same setup and similar rocks and mineralization

were encountered. Only rough drill logs and hole locations were-record

ed, although T .N. Irvine presents graphic drill sections in a government

geological report (Irvine, 1963).

- 14 -

Also in 1957, five drill holes were completed on the western occurrence

by Montco Copper Corp. Ltd. Three of these holes intersected sulphide-

bearing ultramafic rocks. No assays were reported, and hole locations

are shown relative only to the then existing claim posts. No log of the

fifth hole in this series is available. Graphic logs of four of these

holes and their assumed locations are shown in Geological Report No. 12

(Irvine, 1963). In this report, DDH no. 3 is shown as having been drill

ed at -30", in conflict with the drill log information (-90 0 ).

The next reported work on the property was in 1966-1967 when Midland

Nickel Corporation Ltd. completed a sixteen drill hole program, with

thirteen of these holes in the area of the eastern occurrence. Only two

of these encountered the ultramafic intrusive, the remaining being

collared too far to the south and east. The target for these holes is

somewhat obsure. The remaining three holes, which tested the north-cen

tral part of the western intrusive, intersected significant thicknesses

of sulphide-bearing ultramafic rock. No assays were reported.

The most recent exploration activity recorded in the claim area was that

of Asarco Exploration Company of Canada, Limited in 1974. Work included

a geological survey, a ground magnetometer survey, and a VLF-EM survey of

the western intrusive and reconnaissance EM profiles across the eastern

intrusive. Results did not indicate the presence of a "major conductive

zone", so no further work was recommended at that time.

- 15 -

6.0 SURVEY PROCEDURES

6.1 Magnetometer Survey

Magnetometer surveys represent a long-established geophysical tech

nique providing useful information pertinent to the detection and

delineation of magnetic lithologic units and mineralization.

A variety of instrumentation has been developed over the years to

match the varied objectives and environments in which magnetic sur

veys are undertaken; these include airborne, ground and drill-hole

applications.

For mineral exploration, ground surveys are typically carried out

with proton precession magnetometers measuring variations in the

total intensity of the earth's magnetic field. Such variations can

be interpreted to determine the probable configuration of the causa

tive magnetic source and its magnetic susceptibility.

Magnetic surveys in Precambrian metavolcanic terrains for precious

and base metal deposits generally provide information as to magnetic

sources that may be associated with conductive EM targets and help

characterize distinctive lithological units and structural disrup

tions .

The use of digitially recording field and base station magnetometers

serves to ensure high quality, drift-free compiled data, which is

usually displayed in contoured form.

r- 16 -

6 .2 Horizontal Loop EM Survey

The horizontal loop electromagnetic method constitutes a much-prac

ticed technique for detection of conductive mineralization and lith-

ologles .

The basis of the technique consists of measurement of the changes in

EM coupling between two horizontal coils maintained at a fixed se

paration and specified frequency. These departures in the in-phase

and quadrature components are typically recorded as a percent vari

ation from a nulled setting.

Current instrumentation, exemplified by the Apex MaxMin series of

HLEM instruments, enables accurate measurement of such variations at

5 or more frequencies.

The HLEM technique is generally susceptible to throrough quantita

tive analysis in terras of conductor geometry and conductivity. This

analysis enables identification of the characteristics of tabular

bedrock conductors arising from sulphide or graphite sources. Such

sources can generally be distinguished from conductive overburden.

However, weakly conductive bedrock sources (such as faults and shear

zones) can yield responses substantially similar to narrow troughs

of conductive overburden. IP/resistivity surveys provide a means of

resolving such ambiguities.

Data is normally presented as stacked profiles for the in-phase and

quadrature values with a separate plot for each frequency.

- 17 -

7.0 DATA ACQUISITION

Prior to commencing the geophysical surveys, detailed cut-line grids were

established over two portions of the property. For the West Grid, initi

ally an baseline oriented N65"E was established with crosslines turned

off from 7+OOW to 6+OOE at 50 meter intervals. The cross lines, which

extend 200 to 300 m northwest and southeast of the baseline, respectively

were chained and picketed at 25 meter intervals for a total of 16 km of

grid.

For the East Grid, the baseline was oriented N40 0 E and crosslines turned

off at 50 m intervals. The grid extends from line 3+50W to 3+OOE and

from 2+OON to 2+OOS, for a total of 6.5 km.

The survey grids and topographic information together with the claim

locations were then compiled to constitute base maps at a scale of

1:1,000. For convenience, the data are presented separately for each

grid.

The geophysical program consisted of magnetometer and HLEM surveys carri

ed out over each entire grid.

The magnetic survey was executed with an EDA PPM 350 total field magneto

meter which digitally records total field values to ^ l nT. Stations

were recorded at 10 meter intervals to ensure appropriate detail for

shallow, narrow sources. An EDA PPM 400 base station magnetometer locat

ed at the crew base (Crestview Motel) was utilized in conjunction with

the field magnetometer to record and enable correction for the diurnal

variations. A total of 19 km of magnetic survey was completed.

The HLEM survey was carried out with an Apex Parametrics MaxMin II in

strument measuring the in-phase and quadrature components of the second

ary electromagnetic field at 1777 and 3555 Hz at a station interval of 25

- 18 -

meters and a coil separation of 100 m. A total of 19 km of MaxMin survey

was completed.

Complete instrument specifications are presented In Appendix A.

Data acquisition was carried out over the period July l to July 24,

1986 by a MPH geophysical crew under the direction of Doug Croft, B.Se.,

geophysicist assisted by John Foster, B.Se., geologist, and Willis

Keeshig, Technician

Logistics were co-ordinated In the field by Derek Hall, senior geophysi

cal technician. The geophysical program was designed and implemented by

the author, under the overall direction of Dave Jones, P.Geoph. and

Vice-Presldent, MPH.

- 19 -

8.0 DATA PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION

The raw magnetometer data have been corrected for diurnal variations by

subtracting the value recorded simultaneously at the base station from

the traverse value. The corrected values were then plotted in the field

in the form of strip charts and subjected to preliminary assessement in

the field as well as to identify any possible problems.

After checking and editing, the corrected total field magnetic values

have been plotted in final plan form on the base maps at a scale of

1:1,000 and appropriately contoured as seen in Maps W-l and E-l for the

West and East Grids, respectively. Superimposed on the contoured magne

tic features are the interpreted magnetic sources and structural aspects.

The sources, which are dominantly narrow and linear, are distinguished as

to low, moderate or high susceptibility. Where feasible, areas with dif

fering magnetic characteristics are distinguished as different domains.

The in-phase and quadrature HLEM readings were converted into digital

files in the field and plotted in profile form in preliminary fashion

using a portable micro-computer.

The edited in-phase and quadrature HLEM readings have been computer plot

ted in annotated profile form at a profile scale of l cm z 10% and a

horizontal scale of 1:1,000, comprising Maps W-2 and W-3, and Maps E-2

and E-3 for the West and East Grids, respectively, as shown in the table

below. (Note that the profiles have a resolution of Q.5% while the an

notated readings have been rounded off to the nearest percent.) Conduc

tive features are identified on each of these plans and characterized as

to the quality of the discerned anomaly, with the more important zones

given an alhabetic designatioh. Where feasible selected anomalies are

quantitatively analyzed in terms of a thin conductive sheet.

9.0 INTERPRETATION

9 .1 Magnetic Results

On the West Grid the magnetic survey disclosed a complex pattern

of strong to very strong magnetic anomalies extending across the

central part and enclosed north and south by a much more subdued

magnetic terrain.

On the basis of the character, pattern and amplitude of magnetic

anomalies two magnetic domains have been distinguished.

The central domain has a much higher average magnetization and is

characterized by strong to very strong local linear and elongated

anomalies. This domain clearly demarcates the ultramafic complex

and its component lithologies.

Individual anomalies over the ultramafic typically attain 3,000 to

4,000 nT relief (and in one case in excess of 10,000 nT) implying

susceptibilities of 5,000-10,000 micro-cgs units equating to a rock

locally containing 2-57, magnetite.

Individual linear anomalies can be traced across the survey grid for

several hundred metres and generally display a grid north-south

trend .

There are also podiform magnetic anomalies of 50 to 100 m areal ex

tent. Their different character could indicate a different original

petrologic composition or simply a different metamorphic or altera

tion history.

As is well, known the process of serpentinization tends to increase

the amount of magnetite in the ultramafic rock. The above anomalies

and susceptibilities are entirely consist with such serpentinized

ultramafics.

- 22 -

No overall pattern can be discerned in the magnetic anomalies within

the interpreted serpentinite that might reflect a petrologic change

from pyroxenitic to peridotitic composition.

The present survey has reasonably defined the extent of the inter

preted serpentine, although to the (grid) west the magnetic body has

not been fully delineated.

A series of crossfaults have been interpreted disrupting the serpen

tinite with modest offset. These faults have orientations varying

from (grid) north-south to northwest.

In addition, changes in character across the serpentinite from south

to north suggest the presence of several strike faults within the

serpentine. Additional strike faults may exist although these can

not be recognized on the basis of magnetic data.

The location of these faults, both cross and strike faults, may be

of significance vis-a-vis loci favourable to the emplacement of sul

phide mineralization.

Alternatively, the process of sulphidization may have locally de

pressed the magnetic susceptibility so that local magnetic lows

could be regarded as favourable for sulphide mineralization. In

this respect it is noted that block contained between lines 1+OOW

and 2+50W has a significantly lower average magnetization than the

surrounding portions of the ultramafic.

Domain II, which constitute the remainder of the survey grid north

and south of the interpreted serpentinite, is characterized by sub

dued magnetic relief although anomalies of several 100 nT can be

found locally.

r- 23 -

This subdued character and pattern of modest local anomalies is en

tirely consistent with gneissic sediments possibly accompanied by

minor volcanics.

Finally it is worth contrasting the portrayal on the ground with

that registered in the aeromagnetic surveys commented on earlier.

At the scale of the ground surveys the overall character of the body

has been divided up into a series of very local anomalies whereas

the aeroraagnetics reflected the Integrated magnetic response of the

body as a whole.

Consequently whereas the aeromagnetics may give some indication of a

possible south dip of the overall body, no such information can be

directly obtained from the present ground magnetic survey. Slightly

lower background values to the north as compared to the south of the

body suggests that a south or near-vertical dip would not be incon

sistent .

On the East Grid the magnetic pattern is rather dissimilar from

that observed on the West Grid.

The contoured magnetic results principally display a series of

moderate to moderately strong local anomalies of discontinuous and

erratic character. There is no sense of a substantial coherent body

of magnetic ultramafic rocks.

The most Intense and persistent anomalies are to be observed span

ning lines 0+50E to 2+OOE. The anomalies are narrow with magnetic

relief on the order of 500-1,000 nT consistent with susceptibilities

equivalent to Q.25-1.0% magnetite content.

- 24 -

The pattern of magnetic anomalies disclosed suggests a discontinuous

ultramafic feature of narrow width and probably lacking in the

petrological complexity of that of the ultramafic on the Western

Grid. The disruptions in the more intense magnetic features may re

flect crossfaulting as is tentatively interpreted in Map E-l.

Additionally there are a series of even more modest discontinuous

anomalies observed both north and south of the above-descibed anoma

lies. These are considered to reflect gneissic host rocks, although

there is in fact no clear distinction to be made between those

sources that are probably caused by serpentinized ultramafics and

those related simply to variations within the gneissic metasedi

ments .

9.2 MaxMin Results

On the West Grid, as seen in Maps W-2 and W-3, the MaxMin survey

disclosed a series of weak, predominantly quadrature anomalies which

are considered to have some geologic validity. Inphase variations,

superimposed on a slightly elevated background, are considered to

reflect slight coil misalignment due to local topographic changes,

since the inphase behaviour is essentially unchanged as a function

of frequency, contrary to that normally expected for valid geologic

conductors.

Although the predominantly quadrature features are indeed weak in

amplitude, of limited extent and of uncertain character, they are

viewed as of potential interest in the context of exploring for

small, weakly conductive sulphide accumulations that might be anti

cipated for PGM deposits in this environment. Normally such weak

features would be largely ignored or treated as possible to probable

overburden responses.

- 25 -

The two principally anomalous zones, designated A. and B, are found

in the east-central portion of the West Grid.

Anomaly A is recognizable on both the 1777 and 3555 Hz quadrature

data as extending from line 2+50E near 0+65N to 3+50E near 0+15S.

The anomaly is best defined on lines 2+50E and 3+50W where it consi

dered a possible bedrock feature.

Because of the very modest amplitude and very low inphase-to-quadra-

ture ratio; one cannot readily derive from calculated thin sheet

models accurate estimate for conductivity-thickness and depth;

however a conductivity-thickness of less than one mho and the depth

of less than 30 m are clearly suggested.

Anomaly A trends (grid) northwest-southeast somewhat oblique to the

indicated local magnetic trends. The eastern extent of the anomaly

coincides approximately with a crossfault interpreted from the

magnetics.

Anomaly B is partially indicated by weak responses at or beyond the

ends of lines 1+50E and 2+OOE near 1+75N.

In part because of its imperfect definition and in part because of

poor character, the anomaly is considered as a probable overburden

response, although a weak bedrock response cannot be entirely rated

out.

Anomaly B lies along the interpreted northern boundary of the

ultramafic and hence could reflect a bedrock feature along the

contact or, more likely, a thicker accumulation of overburden at the

edge of the ultramafic.

- 26 -

Three additional very modest quadrature responses are observed on

line 1+OOW near 1+OON, on lines 4+50E and 5+OON near 1+OON, and on

line 6+OOE near 0+75N.

Of these the response on line 4+50E just beyond the northern limit

of survey coverage is the most likely to reflect a bedrock source.

Since the anomaly characteristics are only*inperfectly glimpsed, no

firm determination of anomaly character can be made.

The very weak response on line 1+OOW coincides with a trace of an

crossfault inferred from the magnetic data.

Thus on the West Grid the MaxMin survey was unsuccessful in detect

ing any substantial definite conductor that might reflect a large

accumulation of conductive sulphides. However the weaker responses

could reflect shorter more poorly conductive sulphide horizons or

accumulations.

On the East Grid the MaxMin survey detected a series of weak

responses in the southwestern portion of the grid.

As seen in Maps E-2 and E-3, these responses are evident as weak,

predominantly quadrature anomalies on lines 2+OOW through 3+50W in

the vicinity of 1+50S. The responses spanning lines 2+OOW through

3+OOW may in fact reflect a single continuous weak conductor trend

ing (grid) northwest. The character of this response is such as to

suggest overburden as the probable cause.

Additional weak one line responses were detected on lines 1+OOE and

3+50W but these are not viewed as of immediate exploration signifi

cance .

- 27 -

Comparison with the magnetic data indicates that the more continuous

MaxMin feature in the southwest corner is considerably distant from

any inferred ultramafic body. Thus if it is indeed a weak but valid

bedrock conductor it is unlikely to be of significance in the con

text of exploration for PGM deposits.

Finally, there is a pattern to be discerned in the inphase varia

tions which trace out an approximate (grid) west-northwest trend

across the central part of the survey grid. No equivalent or corre

lating quadrature responses accompany the inphase variations. The

MaxMin trend corresponds to the principal magnetic trend on this

grid. Hence the EM response, which is not that expected for a typi

cal conductive feature, may be reflecting a resistive but permeable

body such as a strongly magnetic serpentinite.

9.3 Discussion

The magnetic survey successfully attained the objectives of signi

ficantly augumenting geologic understanding of the extent and chara

cter of the ultramafics and their host environment. Correlation of

individual anomalies and/or structures with the results of detailed

geological mapping and geochemical prospecting may enable recogni

tion of specific anomalies as of direct exploration interest.

The MaxMin HLEM survey results did not disclose any strong definite

bedrock conductor that could be related to a conductive sulphide

zone within or at the margins of the interpreted ultramafics.

However, sulphide zones of interests in terms of platinum mineral

ization may have a restricted strike length and may display very

weak to nil conductivity. Hence the weak possibly bedrock features

detected by the surveys are of interest and merit scrutiny as part

of a ground prospecting and mapping program.

- 28 -

For the above reason IP surveys will form a valuable and recommended

complement to the preceeding geophysical surveys as a means of de

tecting and delineating zones of disseminated sulphides that might

carry appreciable PGM values .

The preceeding geophysical results and discussion merit renewed

scrutiny once a detailed geologic map of the area has been prepared

and the planned geochemical sampling program has been carried out.

- 29 -

10.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The magnetometer and MaxMin HLEM surveys carried out on the Bedivere Lake

platinum project have provided substantial information pertinent to the

evaluation of the property in that:

On the West Grid:

* The detailed magnetometer survey has outlined the serpentinized

ultramafic generally conformable with its previously projected

extent. Internally the magnetic ultramafic was found to consist of

a number of strong linear anomalies with an average trend of N60 0 E

(grid east-west) accompanied by several larger, podiform magnetic

units. Crosscutting and strike faults were identified which may

indicate loci favourable for sulphide mineralization.

* The MaxMin HLEM survey yielded two weak but possible bedrock con

ductors within or close to the boundary of the serpentinized ultra

mafic constituting targets meriting attention in further explora

tion programs.

On the East Grid:

* The detailed magnetometer survey disclosed a series of discontinu

ous narrow magnetic features Interpreted as reflecting thin ultra-

mafics Intrusives, rather different in form and character from the

ultramafic on the West Grid and also different from that projected

on the basis of previous information. Crossfaultlng is suspected

for the dislocations in the magnetic features.

r- 30 -

* The MaxMin survey failed to disclose any credible conductor that

could be reasonably associated with the magnetic portions of the

ultramafic, although several very weak anomalies were detected in

other sectors of the grid.

On the basis of the preceding results and conclusions, it is recommended

that further evaluation of the Pt-Pd potential of the Bedivere Lake pro

perty be undertaken to consist of:

l . Geologic mapping and geochemical sampling over and around the in

ferred ultramafic bodies in an attempt to identify the presence of

mineralization and/or anomalous PGM values. This work should include

a diligent effort to relocate as many old drill hole collars and

trenches as possible so as to tie the present results and grids more

closely into the previous work.

2. An IP/resistivity survey should be run on lines selected to cover en

couraging MaxMin responses and/or geologically or geochemically in

dicated zones or areas within the ultramafic.

3. The present geophysical results together with the results of the pre

ceding additional phases should be integrated to yield priority tar

gets for subsequent testing by diamond drilling. Although difficult

to estimate at this time, such an initial diamond drilling program

might be reasonably be anticipated to consist of five to ten short

holes totalling 1,000-1,500 m.

The PPM-350 is the latest addition to EDA's OMNIMAG*™ series of magnetometers and gradiometers. It is engineered to provide users with the latest state-of-the-art advances in microprocessor technology, including many features that are unique in the field.

Major benefits and features Include:* Significant increase in productivity* Lowered survey costs* Automatic diurnal correction* Programmable grid coordinates* Highly reproduceable data* Ergonomic design* Simplified fieldwork* Computer-compatible

Description Functions Features and BenefitsThe EDA OMNIMAG PPM-350 is a high-technology, proton precession total field magnetometer that measures and records the earth's magnetic field at the simple touch of a key. It identifies and records the location, time of each measurement, computes the statistical error, and records the decay and strength of the signal

1 being measured.The PPM-350 is a microprocessor-

. based system and employs a ' memory magnetometer conceptpioneered by EDA.

. Packaged in a compact, lightweight, rugged housing, the PPM-350 in corporates ergonomic-design features that provide maximum

" comfort and ease-of-operation in the field. It is used in a chest- mounted mode with a shoulder-

- harness. It has a large Liquid Crystal Display for easy reading, even in direct sunlight, and its oversized

. touch-sensitive keyboard permits cold-weather operation without having to remove gloves.

In a typical field survey operation, the PPM-350 can perform all of the following functions:* A visual readout and storage of

the following information in an absolutely secure memory that prevents data loss or tampering:- total magnetic field

magnitude- time of measurement- grid coordinates for every

reading- statistical error of total field

reading- signal strength and decay

measurement* Users have a choice of three

input, or data storage, modes:- manual record- spot record- automatic update record

* Users also have a choice of three output modes:- to a DCU-200 magnetic

cassette recorder- to a DCU-040 or DCU-400

thermal printer- to any RS-232C-compatible

microcomputer* Each reading is automatically

assigned a record number which can also be used to identify loca tions of measurements taken off the grid. This also serves to recall data, as well, simply by key ing in the record number.

- Sub-grid coordinates and posi tion up-date are given, permit ting more detailed study within the main grid, without altering main grid data.

- Many readings can be taken at one point to verify a reading, without updating the position.

Productivity Up, costs DownUsers of the OMNIMAC PPM-350 can enjoy in creases in survey produc tivity by as much as 50 07o because of the solid-state

: ;. features that are designed ' into it. This increase in pro ductivity, with resultant lower survey costs, is made possible because it enables the operator to take measurements faster and with greater accuracy

thanTonventional techniques permit. This, in turn, allows the survey operator to spend more time in the field surveying significantly more area than would be otherwise possible.Automatic Diurnal correctionDiurnal variations are corrected automatically and in just a few minutes, instead of the two or three hours required in manual operation. The raw total field data collected and stored in the PPM-350 is corrected by the PPM-400 Base Station Magnetometer through a single cable link. Using the linear interpolation method, corrected data is produced faster and moreaccurately, because the possibility of human error is reduced.Programmable Grid coordinatesMeasurements are also made faster and more accurately because the location of each reading is taken automatically on an incremental basis, and recorded along with the time of that measurement. An additional benefit of this feature is that it can provide the basis for computer plotting to obtain survey profiles.Highly Reproduceable DataThe PPM-350 provides users with the highest confidence level in the

idustry. Its highly reproduceable•v-ata is a result of four leading- edge design features that Iminate the need for taking . uiltiple readings:• An exclusive Signal Processing• Technique*

Constant Energy Polarization that maintains equal energy to

r- the sensor even when the main battery supply decreases

•- Sensitivity to ±0.02 gamma that ensures repeatability of readings Automatic Fine-Tuning that takes

, the previous reading as the base for the next

""rgonomic Design...perator comfort and efficiency were prime considerations in '"he design of the new PPM-350. It

lightweight and is encased in a 'rugged housing that permits ^Deration in a wide variety of field ; :nditions. The oversize keyboard tnables the operator to take measurements without removing roves. Large LCD's make reading .. .nuch easier, even in bright sunlight.

eldwork Simplified•j.nce each reading is automatically stored in a non-volatile memory, He need to make handwritten ( Dtebook entries on total field magnitude, time of reading, line f*id station numbers, etc. is

iminated. This reduces the need tor notebook usage by the pperator, thereby improving pro- 1 jctivity. Also, it allows field t,drveys to be made under all weather conditions.

Dmputer Compatiblewl EDA OMNIMAG systems can in terface with any computer using 1-232C standard. This enables L aeration of profiles, contour maps, etc.

Other Features* Data Recall. Daily readings can

be recalled either by record number or in sequence.

* Non-Volatile Memory. A lithium battery with a life-expectancy of 4 years provides total protection of data stored in memory and of the real-time clock in case the primary battery runs down or is removed.

* Environmental Dependability. PPM-350 operates in temperature extremes of -35 0 C to 55 0 C. At-25 0 C, a heater automatically activates to ensure LCD perfor mance. Environmental sealing allows operation in very high humidity and in driving rain.

* Higher Gradient Tolerance. More accurate readings are obtained because the PPM-350's optimized sensor geometry and reduced size result in higher tolerances to local gradients.

* Power Supply Versatility. Users can choose from a variety of power packages:- rechargeable sealed lead acid

battery belt or cartridge - disposable alkaline "C" cell

battery belt or cartridge. Error Analysis. This unique feature is a great time saver because the calculation of the statistical error of each reading lets the operator make an on- the-spot decision whether that reading should be stored or not. Memory upgrade. The stan dard memory of 1383 readings is optionally expandable up to 2555 readings.Decimal Spacing, intermediate readings can be stored every 12.5 units, while using the usual 25-unit station interval. Internal Real-Time Clock. More accurate and reliable measure ments can be made and stored because time is taken to the nearest second. Also, the operator need not wear a wrist- watch, which is a common and often overlooked source of magnetic interference.

PPM-200 Total Field MagnetometerAs the basic unit in the series, the PPM-200 measures the earth's magnetic field to sensitivities of 0.1nT and displays the resulting data on the high visibility LCD. This unit has automatic power-off capability to prevent the unneces sary consumption of power. The standard sensor attached to the main electronics console leaves the operator with complete freedom from cables and the incessant problems they create. This unit can be upgraded at a later date to higher capability levels by adding additional electronics, memory and software subroutines.

PPM-300 Total Field MagnetometerThis model is the most advanced field magnetometer in the world. In addition to providing the total field magnitude and time, it also records on its internal solid state memory, the grid co-ordinates (line and station) and reading error. The non-volatile memory can store up to 700 data blocks, therefore eliminating any need to record data manually. Accumulated data is regularly transferred into either of two Data Collection Units, the DCU-100 Thermal Printer or the DCU-200 Magnetic Cassette Re corder. The use of the latter unit permits the complete computer handling of data which includes background and diurnal correc tions, automatic plotting and rou tine geophysical interpretation.

PPM-400 Base Station MagnetometerThis integral sensor and console package is the first magnetometer specifically designed for base station applications, which include airborne and ground survey cor rections. It's unique configuration allows it to be set up above the ground and away from hazards and local magnetic interferences. Unlike other base station magnetometers which have a limited number of switch selected sample periods and limited versatility, the PPM-400 is completely programmable through its keypad. This includes operator selection of either relative (differ ential) or absolute measurements. As in the PPM-300, all data is stored internally in a high capacity non-volatile memory which is trans ferred periodically into either the DCU-100or DCU-200. Also unique to this instrument is a "snooze" alarm to conserve power. In simple terms, the microprocessor acts as an alarm clock and turns power- draining circuits off following each reading and automatically powers up just prior to taking a subsequent reading.
