Introduction The Charles Brook Property consists of 48 mapped staked claims contained in 6 mineral licences, located on the Botwood Peninsula in Central Newfoundland. The property is part of a joint ownership agreement with 3 prospectors, David Walsh, Russell White and Robert Roche. Details of the licences are outlined in Table 1. This report outlines work done in 2011 on licences 18399M and 18400M. This work was conducting during a weeklong trip in early May, 2011 and consisted of prospecting, rock and stream sediment geochemical sampling. The area was staked for its potential to host intrusive related gold occurrences. Table 1. Mineral Licence Details.

LocationandAccess The property is located approximately 20 km north of the town of Botwood, NL on the north coast of central Newfoundland. It is located in the centre of a narrow peninsula on the west side of the Bay of Exploits that is approximately 4 km wide. The area consists of boreal forest with several larger ponds and streams. It is characterized by a series of north-south trending ridges with moderate relief. These are interpreted as more competent sandstone beds of the Charles Brook Member of the New Bay Formation. The property location is shown in Figure 1 and the claims location is shown in Figure 2.

Geology The property lies within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Techno-stratigraphic Zone of Newfoundland (Williams, Colman-Sadd, & Swinden, 1988) and is underlain by formations of the Exploits Group (O'Brien, 2006) which have been intruded by the Thwart Island Gabbro (O'Brien, 2006).

Figure 1. Property Location.

The Ordovician Charles Brook Member of the New Bay Formation lies on the east side of claims 18399M and 18400M (Figure 3) and is described as dominantly light grey, graded, medium bedded sandstone turbidite interstratified with greyish-green laminated argillite; minor, light grey, massive pebbly wacke containing common rip-up clasts of slump-folded argillite and displaying rare polymictic conglomerate lags; light-green andesite-rich lapilli stone; tuffaceous wacke with abundant sandstone dykes (O'Brien, 2006). The early Ordovician Saunders Cove Formation underlies the Charles Brook Member to the west (Figure 3) and is described as thin-bedded red chert intercalated with rare basalt flows; red chert interbedded with red and green, well banded, siliceous argillite; minor interval of dark-grey shale and light-grey carbonaceous argillite; red and green siltstone turbidite and buff, thin-bedded, parallel laminated sandstone; light-grey, graded, pebbly and sandy wacke having rare polymictic conglomerate lags (O'Brien, 2006). These units have been intruded by the middle Ordovician Thwart Island Gabbro which is

described as layered or massive, medium- to coarse-grained, hornblende-pyroxene gabbro laccoliths; quartz diorite sills and diabase dykes; hornblende-bearing pegmatite (O'Brien, 2006).

PreviousWorkandMineralization Previous geological work on the property is well summarized by O’Brien (2006) and complied in GSNL Map 2006-04 (O'Brien, 2006). References for this previous work can be found in that publication. Previous industry work in the area has been limited. “Exmar Resources Limited and Gary Lewis conducted some exploration in the immediate area of the Saunders Cove copper showing (002E/06/Cu 002). Their work consisted mainly of reconnaissance prospecting, soil sampling and sampling old muck piles in a limited area around the showing. Anomalous copper in-soil values were noted around the showing but were of limited extent and sporadic. Au in-soil values of up to 116 ppb Au were also noted in the immediate area” (Lohman, 1988). Lewis (1998) reported that there were quartz veins noted along the shoreline but none were sampled and that a sample of quartz float returned an assay of 191 ppb Au. Cornerstone Resources conducted prospecting and rock and stream sediment sampling over the area in 2004. Several float samples with anomalous gold values were discovered in the Charles Arm area. Two samples assayed 2093 and 5570 ppb Au and reported to be within qtz veining with arsenopyrite and pyrite. Several stream sediment anomalies were also discovered in the Charles Brook area with one sample assaying 427 ppb (Hussey, 2005). This showing is registered in the MODS database as 02E/06/Au 012.

WorkandResults2011 Work in 2011 occurred during May 4–9th, 2011 and consisted of prospecting, stream sediment and rock geochemical sampling. Weather conditions were poor during the work period with cold temperatures, wind, rain and snow. Abnormally high water conditions made sampling of larger streams impossible so reported anomalies could not be confirmed and work was restricted to smaller streams. In total 8 rock samples and 11 stream sediment samples were collected. All samples were sent to Eastern Analytical Laboratories in Springdale, NL for fire assay Au analysis as well as an ICP 30 element package. Results are included in appendix i. All rock samples were grab samples of potential mineralized vein + host rock material. Samples were manually split with half going to the lab and the other half kept for a reference. Stream sediment samples were classified in the field to -60 mesh with a small classifier. In some cases a large amount of material (+ 2 kg) had to be classified in order to obtain a sufficient sample size. Sample locations are outlined in Table 2 and plotted in Figure 4. Results were disappointing but one stream sediment sample, CA007ST, returned a value of 70 ppb Au confirming anomalous gold within the claim area.

ConclusionsandRecommendations Prospecting in 2011 failed to delineate the source of the anomalous float discovered by Cornerstone Resources in 2004. This was mainly due to the poor weather conditions, high surface water levels and insufficient coverage of the claim area. Stream sediment sampling did discover an anomalous sample, confirming the presence of gold within the geology. Further detailed prospecting is recommended within the claim area, especially to the west, which is up-ice from the anomalies. Focus should be paid to the gabbroic intrusions in the area. The source for the 5 g/t float sample discovered by Cornerstone Resources should also be a focus of any future exploration program. Respectfully submitted, David Walsh Geologist
