Description of Elijah Property

The Elijah Property consists of four (4) unpatented mining claims (38 units – approximately 1,520 acres) in Asquith and Churchill Townships, Larder Lake Mining District, Ontario, Canada. The property lies approximately 3km northeast of the hamlet of Shining Tree along Regional Highway 560, which is a paved road. Access to the property is well maintained throughout all seasons, with former lumber gravel roads intersecting the property.

The Elijah Property is located in the south central portion of Asquith Township, with claim 4251805 located in contiguous Asquith Township in the north central portion, Larder Lake Mining District, Province of Ontario, Canada. The Elijah Property can be accessed via motor vehicle by travelling 136km North Northwest from The City of Sudbury on Highway 144, then travelling 56 km North Northeast on Highway 560 in north central Ontario, Canada. The approximate centre of the Elijah Property has UTM co-ordinate 479000 m E and 5271000 m N.

There has been no historical work on the Property. The property is a “grass roots” exploration prospect, no infrastructure or facilities are found on the property, apart from the gravel logging road providing access to the property.

The Elijah Property is located within a mineral rich portion of Shining Tree Greenstone Belt that forms the southern portion of the Abitibi Sub-Province of the Superior Province. The Larder lake dominant structural feature is the Larder Lake Cadillac Fault, which extends through the Shining Tree area, the Kirkland Lake area and into the neighboring eastern Province of Quebec, Canada. Due to the strong special relationship between gold deposits and regional faults, numerous world class gold deposits are found along the Kirkland Lake – Cadillac Fault system.

Calc-Alkaline Tholeiitic volcanic rocks and minor Komatiitic rocks are interpreted to underly the immediate property area. The most significant geological feature is the gold bearing “Gosselin Rift Zone”. The Gosselin Rift Zone is a southwest trending feature along claim number 4251803 and runs westward, northwestward into claim 4251801, which are in the Elijah Property. It includes an extensive quartz vein system, altered mafic-ultramafic rocks and altered felsic intrusive and extrusive rocks. Extensive faulting fracturing and shearing are evident in this zone over widths of approximately 200 meters. Gold mineralization in the Gosselin Rift Zone tends to be erratic and is associated with Pyrite mineralization varying in concentrations from trace to levels of 4-5% in the altered volcanic rocks and quartz vein systems.

Glossary of Terms:

Calc-alkalic: Said of a series of igneous rocks in which the weight percentage of silica is between 56 and 61 when the weight percentages of CaO and of K2O + Na2O are equal.

Tholeiite: A silica-oversaturated (quartz-normative) basalt, characterized by the presence of low-calcium pyroxenes (orthopyroxene and/or pigeonite) in addition to clinopyroxene and calcic plagioclase. Olivine may be present in the mode, but neither olivine nor nepheline appear in the norm.

Komatiite: Magnesium-rich ultramafic volcanic rock of high temperature origin. The term was originally applied by Viljoen and Viljoen (1969) to basaltic and ultramafic lavas near the Komati river, Barberton Mountain Land, Transvaal, South Africa. Nickel-copper sulfide mineral deposits may be associated with komatiites.

Mafic: Pertaining to or composed dominantly of the ferromagnesian rock-forming silicates; said of some igneous rocks and their constituent minerals.

Ultramafic: Said of an igneous rock composed chiefly of mafic minerals, e.g., monomineralic rocks composed of hypersthene, augite, or olivine.

Felsic: A mnemonic adj. derived from (fe) for feldspar, (l) for lenad or feldspathoid, and (s) for silica, and applied to light-colored rocks containing an abundance of one or all of these constituents. Also applied to the minerals themselves, the chief felsic minerals being quartz, feldspar, feldspathoid, and muscovite.
