Gentlemen:

The following is a report (describing results obtained in

diamond drilling on your property located in Monmouth and Cardiff Town

ships, Haliburton County, Ontario,

SUMMARY ANp^RECpMKE.NDATIONS

Drilling to date has indicated two zones within the "B" zone

which show good continuity. Estimates from these zones indicate a

possible 1070 tons per vertical foot averaging .077^ UjOg. These zones

have been drilled for a length of 1100 feet across claim E.O. 7655,

About half the length of the zone has been drilled to date as the

scintillator survey shows potential ground as far east as Line 2700 N,

In future drilling the writer recommends a row of holes to cross the

fault zone and of sufficient depth to cross the zone lying to the nprth

of the limestone band, described elsewhere in the report.

_____The results obtained from drilling appear to warrant underground

exploration on the two zones.

RECENT PREVIOUS WORK COMPLETED ON THE PROPERTY DURING THE PERIOD OF

1954-1955.

A ground scintillator survey, geological mapping and surface

sampling program was conducted over the property from November 24 to

December 18, 1954, by Geo-Technical Development Company Limited. The

results of these surveys were incorporated in a report by E. P,

Sheppard, the Company's geologist and field manager in a report dated

January 4, 1955.

PROPERTY, LCCATICN AND ACCESS

The property consists of 30 unpatcnted claims located in

Monmouth and Cardiff Townships, in the County of Haliburton, Ontario.

Those are comprised of Claims E.O. 7651, 7652, 7655-7660 inclusive,

7778, and 7783-7788 inclusive, situated in Lots 33, 34 and 35 of

Concessions VIII, IX, X and XI in Monmouth Township; and Claims. E.O.

7644-7650 inclusive, 7653, 7654, 7770-7777 inclusive and 7780-7782

inclusive situated in Lots A, l, 2, 3 and 4 of Concessions XII, XIII and

XV and XVI in Cardiff Township.

The claims are located at a distance of about 4# miles southeast

of the village of Wilberforce on the Canadian National Railway, and is

readily accessible by Highway 35 aftd connecting highways to Wilberforce

from the west and by Highway 28 frbm the east*

The north part of the property is bounded by Cardiff Uranium

Mines on the north and Strategic Metals and Kemp properties to the cast,

TOPOGRAPHY

The topography is fairly flat and undulating. In the north part

of the property ridges on each si(je of a creek, which flows west across

the claims, rise to elevations of about 150 feet above the surrounding

country. The area is sparsely wooded with maple, beech, birch, poplar,

spruce and pine. Overburden is shallow and outcrops numerous except in

swamps and drainage areas*

The area is drained by creeks flowing southwest to Burnt River

and thence to Sturgeon Lake on the Trent Valley watershed,

GENERAL GEOLOGY

Previous geological investigations of the area have been reviewed

and revised by J. Satterly in the 02nd Annual Report of the Ontario

Department of Mines, Vol. Ill, Part II, 1943. In 1952 A. H. Lang

summarized the occurrence of uranium and thorium deposits in this area in

"Canadian Deposits of Uranium and Thorium", Geological Survey of Canada,

Economic Geology Series No, 16. A more recent report "Geological

Circular No, 2, Ontario Department of Mines" by J. Satterly and D. F.

Hewitt was issued in March 1955,

According to the geological map of the Haliburton area the

property is located on a band of paragneiss and limestone which swing

roughly south through the area. An extensive area of granite, granite

gneiss and pegmatite lies to the east and the Cardiff batholith lies to

the north. These intrusions have caused strong granitization and

pronounced pegmatite injection.-

The rock types found on the property are pegmatite, pegmatite

complex, pegmatite granite, granite, amphibolite, granite gneiss, horn

blende gneiss, biotite gneiss, hybrid gneiss and limestones,.

The pegmatite is granite pegmatite, pink in colour with feldspar

crystals from l inch to 4 inches in diameter. Quartz crystals are usually

less than l inch in diameter. Both the white and smoky varieties occur

here. Biotite occurs in minor amounts. The pegmatite forms dykes and

lit-par-lit injections in the gneisses*

The term "pegmatite complex" is used in mapping mixtures of

pegmatite and gneisses when the pegmatite constant is over 50 percent of

the mass*

The granite gneiss in the area grades fro'm roughly banded, coarse

grained to well banded fine grained varieties, pink to slightly grey in

colour*

Geo-Technical Development Company Limited

3 -

In the grey varieties, biotite amounts to about 20 percent.

Other gneisses are typical paragneisses and grade from hornblende

gneiss, hornblende-biotite gneiss to biotite gneiss. The paragneisses.

usually give low radioactivity readings to the scintillometer* This and

the fact that paragneisses have been located at the south side.of the

area mapped suggests that the general contact between paragneisses and

the granitic complex runs approximately N.60 0 E. through the central part

of the property.

The amphibolites are dark green, coarse grained, massive, the

main constituent being hornblende.

The limestone found on the property is usually a white fecrystal-

lised, coarse grained variety containing impurities of lime

silicates, hornblende, mica and other mafic minerals. Secondary deposited

carbonate occurs along fault zones in the area and is usually disseminated

with mica, probably of the phlogopite variety.

The gneisses and a set of pegmatite dykes parallel to them have a

general strike of approximately N.65 0 E, and dips varying from 45* S, to

60 0 S. Other pegmatite dykes strike in a general north and northwest

direction.

ECONOMIC GEOLOGY

A study of results of the diamond drilling indicate that the

KDnes of mineraliaation which show the most continuity are situated

(a) along an open seam or fault which cuts across the pegmatite and

gneisses at a small angle to their strike. This fault has a dip of 55 0 ~

65 C S.j

(b) along the footwall side of a limestone band which is located 450 feet

north of the fault in the section through Hole No. 7, 300 feet north of

the fault in the section through Hole No, 5 and 230 feet north of the

fault in the section through Hole No. 13. The fault and limestone band

should intersect near surface somewhere in the area between Line 1350 N,

and Line 1800 N, where an east-west swamp and creek cross the base line.

High scintillator readings Were obtained between Lines 1950, N.

and 2700 N. The low scintillator readings between Lines 1200 N. and

1950 N. may be attributed to depth of overburden in the area of the swamp

and creek.

The uranium occurs mainly iji uranothorite crystals which are

contained in the quartz crystals of the pegmatite. The minerali7,cd

pegmatites usually contain a fair amount of medium hornblende, chlorite

and occasionally hematite. Magnetite, fluorite and molybdenite are rare.

DIAMOND niULLING

A total of 15,072 feet of diamond drilling was done from March 1 }

1955 to October 17, 1955. Thirty-one holes were drilled which were

distributed as follows:

The "B" Zone has been drilled along a length of 1100 feet across

Claim 7C55 at 100 feet intervals. The north part of "B" Zone was drilled

at 200 feet intervals along a length of 800 feet. The best results were

obtained along a fault near the south side of the zone and along the foot

wall side of a band of limestone a short distance north of the fault*

The values obtained in the fault zone occur in lenses in the

Estimates from the above zones using 11 cubic feet as a tonnage

factor give an indicated total of 1070 tons per vertical foot averaging

.077 percent tLOg. This is not pr*oven ore as the spacing of holes is too

far apart to make such an estimate possible. Due to loss of core near the

fault in some of the holes, no values were obtained in some places and

this has not been taken into account in making the estimate. For example,

in Ho]e No. 6 probe readings from the hole averaged 3650 counts per minute

across 16 feet, these being considerably higher than the readings obtained

in Holes 5 and 7 on either side but no assays wore obtainable from this

section. For this reason the writer believes that considerably better

results might be obtained in actual underground,Work,

Gentlemen,

Herewith is a Summary Report of the work done to date o" the Powerex Bancroft Area property. The property consists of 24 leased mining claims numbered as follows.

E031776 to 31785 incl., E032191, 32192, E032195, 32196, E032199 to 32202 incl' E032205, 32206, - rr E033837 to 33340 incl.i/

HISTORY

1955, Empire Oils and Minerals Ltd drilled outlining some 1000 tons

The

Circasome 20 odd holes on the propertyper vertical foot grading about 1.5 Ibs LLOR per ton. logs of this drilling were lost and were unavailable to a subsequent owner of the property - Canuc Mines Ltd - who drilled 8 additional holes circa 1968 - 1970. Canuc Mines Ltd sold the property to Landair Explorations Ltd who explored the northern part of the property for fluorite and indicated by widely spaced drill holes some 2,000,000 tons of low grade fluorspar. Landair caused Powerex Resources Ltd to be formed to explore the uranium possibilities outlined by the Empire drilling. The claim group now includes the claims adjoining the Empire drilling on the west which in 1955 were owned by another company and were never drilled. In the summer of 1975 Landair drilled two holes which were repeats of Empire drill holes 5 and 23,/i'he results are listed below.

At this point Landair formed Powerex to explore the uranium potential.

Powerex Exploya ti on Program

The results of Land^iir's two drill holes were a great incentive to try and locate the old Empire drill logs and many avenues were tried. Finally, all but two of the missing logs were located in Ottawa in the files of the Atomic Energy Control Board. It was necessary to go to Ottawa to peruse the file and to obtain copies of the pertinent data. Having obtained the logs, drill sections were drawn.

Powerex started its field work by setting up a new grid system, plotting the old drill holes, and using the grid to control new drilling. The new grid is limited in s ize a s it will have to be re-cut in the spring.

The still missing drill logs are Empire holes 8 and 9. The first hole drilled by Powerex repeated Empire hole 8 and the second will rep^eat Empire hole 9. Subsequent holes will be in new ground, extending the known uranium bearing dikes to the west.

The following are attached to this renort and are an integral part of it.1.- Empire Drill Hole plan - 1^=100'.2.- Drill sections of Empire and Canuc holes - I"s50'.3.- Powerex Grid Plan - l "si 00'i4.- Empire Drill Logs previously unavailable to Ontario

Gentlemen,

On roy last trip t0 the property I re-sampled 3 of the Canuc 1968 drill holes and these results are listed on X.Kay certificate r* 2755,

i'he following significant assays resulted.

None of the footage marks were legible. You will note from the Certificate that the cores aro quite rich in thorium.

In roy opinion these resul ts when coupled with the Canuc drill lot's indicate that although the North Dike shows marked weakening to the east it is definitely not terminated and further drilling to the east is justifiable,
