1 SUMMARY
Metal Mountain Resources Inc. (Metal Mountain) is an associate company of Eagle Peak
Resources Inc. (Eagle Peak) as both companies have the same management. In 2007 Eagle
Peak optioned the mineral tenures that cover the past-producing Dome Mountain Gold-Silver
Mine. Over the next two years Eagle Peak optioned and purchased four additional tenure
blocks in the Dome Mountain area. The tenure blocks were acquired for the purpose of
conducting further exploration work and re-opening the mine. On October 16, 2009 Metal
Mountain purchased all five tenure blocks from Eagle Peak.
The Project is situated approximately 38 kilometres due east of Highway 16 and the Town of
Smithers in northwest B.C. and is close to existing CN rail, power and highway infrastructure.
The deep-water ports of Prince Rupert, Kitimat and Stewart are located approximately 400 km
to the west.
After acquiring the property, Eagle Peak completed surface diamond drilling and underground
mapping and sampling programs to verify results by previous operators. The company drilled a
total of 42 HQ diamond drill-holes (5705 metres) to in-fill the existing drill pattern and collected
193 chip samples from the underground workings. This work culminated in the calculation of
the NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate presented in this report.
Exploration drilling of coincident soil geochemistry and 3D induced polarization anomalies by
Eagle Peak in 2009 intersected a quartz vein that assayed 19.07 grams per tonne gold over the
0.6 metre interval from 49.4 to 50.0. This intersection is located approximately 400 metres
northeast of the 1290 portal and may represent the discovery of a new vein.
The project area is underlain by Early to Middle Jurassic calc-alkalic island arc rocks of the
Telkwa, Nilkitkwa, and Smithers Formations of the Hazelton Group. Structurally the area is a
northwest trending horst of folded and faulted Jurassic and Cretaceous volcanic and
sedimentary rocks bounded to the west and east by grabens containing Late Cretaceous and
younger rocks. This structure is hypothesized as the main control for the gold-silver
mineralization.
Several orogenic (mesothermal) quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins with economic potential have
been identified within the area of the Dome Mountain Project. During the period from 1991 to
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 2
1993, Timmins Nickel Inc. mined 43,900 tonnes at an average grade of 12.0 grams per tonne
gold from the Boulder Main Vein. Underground mining was conducted by shrinkage stope
methods accessed from trackless drift developments on the 1290 and 1370 levels.
A NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Boulder Vein System has been
calculated using 285 surface diamond drill holes and 37 underground diamond drill holes. As
there has been no economic evaluation completed at this time to establish a cut-off grade, a
reasonable 5 g/t cutoff for an underground operation has been highlighted. This resource
occurs principally above the 1290 level and has been adjusted to remove the volumes
previously mined.

The best opportunities for increasing the mineral resources on the Dome Mountain Project are
down-plunge to the east on the Boulder Main and Boulder Footwall veins followed by the
Argillite Vein below the 1290 level.
Two phases of additional work are recommended on the Dome Mountain Project. Phase 1
would consist of a Preliminary Assessment to determine if the indicated resource is economic,
additional in-fill drilling to upgrade the inferred resource, exploration drilling down-plunge to the
east on the Boulder Vein System, and extension of the existing 3D induced polarization and soil
geochemistry surveys. Cost of the phase program is estimated at $1.464 M. Phase 2 would be
for following up Phase 1 positive exploration results by diamond drilling. Costs for Phase 2 are
estimated at $1.156 M.

2 INTRODUCTION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE
Metal Mountain Resources Inc. (MMR) is an associate company of Eagle Peak Resources Inc.
(EPR). Between June 2007 and March 2009 EPR acquired, through four option agreements
and one purchase, the five tenure blocks that make up the Dome Mountain Project. On October
16, 2009 MMR purchased all five tenure blocks from EPR and on January 29, 2010 proceeded
to exercise its option on the block containing the historic underground workings on the Boulder
Vein System as described in a NI 43-101 Technical Report by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle
Associates Inc. (Scott Wilson RPA) dated April 28, 2008 (Rennie, 2008).
Gold mineralization was first located on the property in the late 1800s and considerable surface
and underground work was done in 1923-24. Resumption of exploration in the 1980s led to the
discovery of the Boulder Vein System in 1985. Underground mining was initiated in August
1991 by Timmins Nickel Inc. (TNI) and its joint venture partner, Habsburg Resources Inc. (HRI)
and ceased in May 1993 due to legal and financial problems. During the period of operation
43,900 tonnes at an average grade of 12.0 grams per tonne gold were reportedly mined. The
ore was transported and milled on a toll basis at the Equity Silver mill near Houston, British
Columbia and at the Westmin mill near Stewart, British Columbia. In 2008 EPR conducted soil
geochemistry and 3D induced polarization surveys over a 120 hectare block centered on the
mine workings. In 2009 EPR completed the work recommended by Scott Wilson RPA, including
diamond drilling, to verify and report the historic resource as a current resource consistent with
NI 43-101. EPR also undertook a small diamond drilling program in 2009 to search for
additional resources.
MMR acquired the properties with the intention of re-opening the past-producing Dome
Mountain Mine and exploring for additional resources. Since acquiring the properties, MMR has
completed a NI 43-101 resource estimate and is continuing with the metallurgical,
environmental and engineering studies initiated by EPR. .
This report reviews the current status of the technical aspects of the Dome Mountain Project,
discloses the results of the 2010 resource estimate by Giroux Consultants Ltd. and makes
recommendations for further work. The report was prepared in compliance with the
requirements of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Deposits and is

5 ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES,INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY
AccessibilityThe claims are road accessible from Smithers by 64 km of mostly gravel all-weather roads.
From a point on Highway 16, 4 km south of Smithers, the route follows the Babine Lake
(Eckman) Road to km 39, then turns southeast on the Chapman Forest Service Road for 16 km
to km 69, and then winds generally uphill in a southwesterly direction for 4 km on the Dome
Mountain Mine access road to the 1290 Portal (see Figure 1).
ClimateThe area has a moderate climate with an average annual precipitation of approximately 510 mm
and annual snowfall of approximately two metres. The area is usually free of snow from June to
mid-October with temperatures ranging from a low of -40°C in December and January to a high
of 28°C in July and August.
Local ResourcesThe Town of Smithers, with a regional population of approximately 15,000, is a major centre for
resource industries operating in northwest B.C. It is located approximately 400 kilometres from
deep water ocean ports in Prince Rupert, Kitimat and Stewart, has an airport with daily service
to Vancouver, and has access to the to the CN rail-line. Several exploration companies and
diamond drill contractors have offices in Smithers. Smithers has readily available skilled mine
and construction labour as well as connections to electric power and natural gas.
InfrastructureSite infrastructure consists of two levels of drift development at the 1370 and 1290 metre
elevations. There is no surface infrastructure on site.
PhysiographyDome Mountain is a glacially rounded summit that reaches an elevation of 1 753 metres above
sea level and marks the most southerly occurrence of alpine terrain in the Babine Range.
Slopes on the mountain range from gentle to steep but cliffs are rare. Overburden cover
consists of alluvial clays, sands, and gravels overlying gravely boulder till. In the vicinity of the
Boulder Vein at approximately 1 300 metre elevation the overburden ranges from one to two
metres thick.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 12
Vegetation cover consists of thick stands of mature balsam fir, lodge pole pine and spruce. At
elevations above 1 500 metres alpine meadows are common. Outcrop exposure on the
wooded slopes is poor and averages less than 1%.
The area is drained by several, small creeks, such as Fedral Creek and Boulder Creek, that flow
year round.

6 HISTORY
The Dome Mountain area has a long history of successful exploration that resulted in the
discovery of numerous gold bearing quartz-sulphide veins. The Boulder Vein has a complicated
history of development and production with various operators, option agreements and name
changes occurring over a short period of time between discovery by Noranda in 1985 and
cessation of operations in 1993. A synopsis of the exploration, development and production
history is listed in Table 2.
In 1989, D.R. Melling calculated a "reserve estimate" for the Boulder and Argillite veins of
318,312 tons at a grade of 0.345 oz/ton gold and 2.22 oz/ton silver. The Melling (1989)
estimate was subsequently reviewed by Derry Michener Booth & Wahl who reclassified the
Argillite Vein "reserves" of 70,316 tons grading 0.412 oz/ton gold and 3.45 oz/ton silver as
"possible reserves". These calculations and classifications pre-date NI 43-101 and should not
be relied upon for economic assessment.
Timmins Nickel Inc. commenced underground mining in August 1991 and stopped in 1993.
During this period 43,900 tonnes at an average grade of 12.0 grams per tonne gold were
reportedly mined from shrinkage stopes accessed from trackless drift developments on the
1290 and 1370 levels. The ore was shipped off-site to either the Equity Silver mill near
Houston, BC or to the Westmin Premier mill near Stewart, BC for toll milling.
In 1993 Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA, a predecessor company to Scott Wilson RPA)
prepared a historical resource estimate by a longitudinal, polygonal method. The "in situ proven
and probable reserves" reported for the Dome Mountain property were 181,780 tonnes grading
14.8 g/t gold, with "possible reserves " of 39,650 tonnes at an average grade of 12.6 g/t gold.
This is a historical estimate as defined by NI 43-101 and as such should not be relied upon for
investment decisions. These historical resources were contained within the following five zones
of the Boulder Vein System: the Boulder Main Vein, Boulder Vein HW, Boulder Vein FW,
Argillite Vein, and Argillite Vein HW. All high gold values were cut to 51.4 g/t gold.
EPR optioned the Block A tenures in 2007 and conducted orientation "Ultra-Trace" soil
geochemistry and 3D induced polarization (3DIP) surveys over the Boulder Vein System and its
projected eastern extension in 2008.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 14
In 2009 EPR drilled 4817.2 metres in 42 HQ holes to fill in gaps in the Boulder Main Vein drill
pattern and to confirm the results of the historic drilling. Also in 2009 four exploration holes
totaling 888.2 metres were drilled to test coincident 3DIP and zinc soil geochemical anomalies.

7 GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The following sections on the regional, local and property geological setting of the Dome
Mountain Project have been adapted from the Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. NI
43-101 report dated April 28, 2008.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Dome Mountain Project is situated in the Babine Range of west central British Columbia.
The Babine Range is a northwest trending horst of folded and faulted Jurassic and Cretaceous
volcanic and sedimentary rocks bounded to the west and east by grabens of Late Cretaceous
and younger rocks (Figure 3). The regional stratigraphy has been described by Tipper and
Richards (1976) and refined by MacIntyre et al. (1987).
Babine Range is underlain by Early to Middle Jurassic calc-alkalic island arc rocks of the
Telkwa, Nilkitkwa, and Smithers Formations. The Nilkitkwa Formation disconformably overlies
the Telkwa Formation which in turn disconformably overlies the Smithers Formation.
The structural setting is analogous to the Basin and Range province of the US Southwest and
structural development is probably related to Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary extensional
tectonics. This tectonic event is characterized by northeast-trending shearing, which offsets the
horst and graben boundaries on major north-trending transcurrent faults. The structure of the
area is characterized by asymmetric to overturned, southeast-plunging folds that are truncated
by northeast-trending shear zones and northwest-striking high-angle reverse and normal faults.
LOCAL GEOLOGY
Lithology
The Dome Mountain area is predominantly underlain by the Lower to Middle Jurrasic Hazelton
Group island arc assemblage. The Telkwa Formation, at the base of the Hazelton Group, is the
thickest and most extensive formation. The Nilkitkwa Formation conformably to disconformably
overlies the Telkwa Formation and is an important host for mineral occurrences (Figure 4).
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 17
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 18
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 19
The Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation has been subdivided into four mappable units which are
from oldest to youngest: (1) polymictic conglomerate (lJT1); (2) porphyritic andesite (lJT2); (3)
fragmental volcanic rock (lJT3); and (4) phyllitic maroon tuff (lJT4). Units 2 and 3 are
considered to be proximal vent facies rocks.
The Nilkitkwa Formation is composed of transgressive marine sediments that overlie rhyolite,
basalt and red epiclastic rocks. The formation has been subdivided into four mappable units. In
ascending stratigraphic order these units are (1) interbedded red epiclastics and amygdaloidal
flows (lJN1); (2) rhyolitic volcanic rocks (lJN2); (3) tuffaceous conglomerate, cherty tuff and
siltstone (lJN3); and (4) thin-bedded argillite, chert and limestone (lJN4).
The Smithers Formation (mJS) comprises fossiliferous sandstone and siltstone with intercalated
felsic tuff that was deposited during a marine transgression. It overlies the Nilkitkwa and Telkwa
Formations in a disconformable fashion. It is typically comprised of medium to thick-bedded,
dark grey limy siltstone and mudstone and weathers orange to brown. At Dome Mountain, the
thick-bedded siltstone grades laterally to a relatively thin unit of well-bedded dark grey
argillaceous limestone, limy siltstone, and wacke, with a few thin beds of pebble conglomerate
and chert.
Isolated fault bounded blocks of the Bowser Lake Group (Middle-Upper Jurassic Ashman
Formation) occur locally. These rocks conformably overlie the Smithers Formation. Late
Cretaceous to Tertiary lapilli tuffs and porphyritic andesite flows (uKEv) also outcrop locally in
fault bounded blocks
Outcropping intrusive rocks are rare on Dome Mountain. A few outcrops of dioritic intrusive
rocks with foliations parallel to the host rocks have been mapped and are considered to be
coeval with the Lower Jurassic volcanism. The 1987 airborne magnetic survey revealed several
positive magnetic features which suggest the presence of buried intrusives.
Structure
The predominant structural feature on the property is a southeast-trending, southeast plunging
and southwest-verging anticline. The lack of an axial planar fabric within this structure indicates
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 20
an origin due to vertical tectonic events. Doming over an inferred buried intrusive of Late
Cretaceous or Early Tertiary age is probable as suggested by a positive magnetic feature which
coincides with Dome Mountain. Alternatively, the vertical movements associated with the last
tectonic event could be considered as the probable cause of the anticlinal structure.
On a local scale, the sulphide bearing quartz veins are situated along east-trending shear zones
which are interpreted as structures reactivated during Late Cretaceous volcanism. The veins
trend both northwest and east-west, and are disrupted by northwest-trending post-ore faults.
The most prominent joint orientation is northeast, roughly perpendicular to major fold axes.
These steep, northwest-dipping C-joints also parallel prominent airphoto lineaments and several
major high-angle faults which offset stratigraphy.
PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The Dome Mountain Project consists of two principal zones of high grade gold-silver
mineralization known as the Boulder and Argillite Veins (Figure 5). This subdivision was
established by earlier mine workers for the purposes of "reserve" estimation and is a function of
vein orientation and host rock lithology. Both veins occur within folded fragmental volcanic
rocks of the Telkwa Formation and within amygdaloidal basalts and altered volcanic rocks of the
Nilkitkwa Formation. The Boulder Vein has hanging wall and footwall veins and the Argillite
Vein has a hanging wall vein. These additional veins are generally splays and shoots off the
main vein structures.
In addition to the Boulder Vein System, the project is host to the Cabin, Elk, Forks, 9800, Free
Gold, Ptarmigan, Eagle, Gem, Raven, Hawk, Chance, Hoopes, Jane, Elk and Pioneer veins.
The Cabin Vein is interpreted as the westward extension of the Boulder Vein. The other veins
mentioned are separate from the Boulder Vein system. A modest amount of drilling has been
carried out on these veins, but to date, no mineral resources have been defined.
The quartz veins are mineralized with a sulphide assemblage consisting of pyrite, sphalerite,
galena, and chalcopyrite. Wall rocks are typically altered and moderately deformed for several
metres on either side of the veins.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 21
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 22
Vein Geometry and StructureIn Detail, the veins are not simple planar structures. They display variations in thickness, strike
and dip. They are gently curved or flexed and are concave towards the south. The veins occur
within a deformation zone averaging less than 10 m in thickness. The host rocks are
penetratively deformed (sheared) with foliation development most pronounced adjacent to the
veins. The veins and associated foliation cross-cut the bedding in the host rocks. The veins
display a diverse range of deformation structures. They may be massive, boudinaged,
brecciated, banded or tightly folded. Locally minor offsets occur along narrow shears which are
parallel to and at high angles to the veins.
The Boulder Main Vein has an average orientation of 100°/50°S and a strike length of
approximately 440 m. Dips tend to be steeper, 50° to 85°S, in the central and eastern portion of
the vein and flatter, 30° to 40°S, towards the western extremity. The vein varies in true width
from 0.7 m to 4.5 m but averages 1.45 m. Thickness and grade contours demonstrate that the
deposit pitches about 45° east within the plane of the vein. Small off-shoots or splays,
branching from the main vein structure, occur in the hanging wall and footwall of the main vein.
The mineralized zone is particularly thick in the areas of intersection. The thickness and grade
of the mineralized vein is most consistent when the hanging wall is amygdaloidal basalt.
The Argillite Vein has an average orientation of about 120°/41°S and a strike length of
approximately 240 m. It is a major splay or bifurcation of the Boulder Vein. The mineralization
varies in true width from 0.7 m to 4.75 m but averages 1.24 m. Correlations of the Argillite Vein
between sections are more difficult than for the Boulder Vein but may still be done with
reasonable confidence. The best Argillite Vein mineralization reportedly occurs where the shear
zone hosting the vein intersects less competent volcanic sediments. Small splays and offshoots
from the main structure are more common in the Argillite Vein.
AlterationEnveloping the Dome Mountain veins are alteration zones which extend several metres into the
wall rocks. These "bleached" zones are characterized by abundant carbonate, and sericite. In
close proximity to the vein contacts, the sericite is a distinctive lime green color. Locally,
euhedral pyrite is present in the altered zones. The alteration zones rarely contain significant
gold/silver mineralization except where they contain quartz-carbonate-sulphide stringers.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 23
The Boulder Vein is characterized by a more pronounced alteration envelope than the Argillite
Vein - probably a function of host rock lithology. The correlation of alteration in section is an
important consideration for geological interpretation.
Alteration varies both in thickness and intensity and in general, gold mineralization and intensity
of alteration as positively correlated. Intensely altered rocks are schistose with an almost white
color and disseminated pyrite. Weakly altered rocks are marked by chlorite alteration of mafic
minerals.
MineralizationThe veins are characterized by quartz with lesser carbonate and sulphide mineralization.
Massive quartz-carbonate veins lacking sulphides are typically barren with respect to gold and
silver.
Quartz occurs as both a white massive variety and as a clear variety which is associated with
higher gold grades. Carbonate minerals (ankerite and calcite) occur as cream to beige crystals.
Small scale folds in the veins attest to continued movement after their formation.
Sulphide minerals in the Boulder Vein constitute approximately 10% of the vein mineralogy. In
decreasing order of abundance the sulphide minerals are: pyrite (6%), sphalerite (2.5%),
chalcopyrite (1%), and galena-tetrahedrite-arsenopyrite (<1%). Pyrite occurs are fine euhedral
cubic crystals disseminated throughout the wall rock alteration and quartz veins. Coarse
masses of pyrite also occur as well as some individual pyrite crystals up to one centimetre wide.
Often the pyrite crystals show evidence of crushing with the interstices filled with other
sulphides. Aggregates of fine-grained reddish brown sphalerite occur as irregular masses
associated with pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Chalcopyrite is commonly
intergrown with pyrite. Fine-grained tetrahedrite, galena and arsenopyrite occur as
disseminations, as thin fracture coatings, or as fine irregular masses with the other sulphides.
Even though gold grades as high as several grams per metric tonne are present, visible gold is
rare. Microscopic examination indicates that the gold usually occurs as minute grains along the
pyrite crystal margins and in microfractures within the pyrite crystals. Metallurgical test work
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 24
indicates an average grain size of 25 microns. Gold may be present as electrum since gold
analyses indicate 18% to 23% silver.
Silver values up to 514 grams per tonne have been reported from core assays although no
silver minerals have been identified. It appears that the silver values reflect the abundance of
galena and tetrahedrite as indicated by an analysis of tetrahedrite that contained 2% to 4%
silver.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 25
8 DEPOSIT TYPES
The mineral deposits at Dome Mountain are structure-controlled orogenic (mesothermal) quartz-
carbonate-sulphide veins with associated gold and silver mineralization. Controlling structures
are east-west and northwest-southeast trending brittle fault zones that dip moderately to steeply
south and southwest. The host rocks are Lower to Middle Jurassic subaerial volcanic flows,
pyroclastic, and related volcanoclastic rocks.
According to Goldfarb et al (2005) orogenic gold deposits are generally located along deep-
crustal fault zones or in related second and third order shears and faults, particularly at jogs or
changes in strike along crustal fault zones. There is generally a spatial association with
granitoid bodies which are related to the orogenic event. Mineralization styles vary from
stockworks and breccias in shallow brittle regimes, through laminated crack-seal veins and
sigmoidal vein arrays in brittle-ductile crustal regions, to replacement and disseminated-type
mineralized bodies in deeper ductile environments. Most orogenic gold deposits contain 2 to 5
percent sulphide minerals (mainly pyrite and arsenopyrite) and have gold/ratios of 5 to 10 and
gold fineness >900. Host rock lithology is critical for concentration of gold in some provinces
where iron or carbon rich rocks along a flow path are important sinks for the release of gold from
hydrothermal solutions. Competency of the host lithology may influence the width of the
mineralized vein. Alteration intensity, width and assemblage may also vary with the host rock
lithology but carbonates, sulphides, muscovite, chlortie, K-feldspar, biotite, tourmaline and albite
are generally present.
The best known deposit of this type in the Canadian Cordillera is the Bralorne-Pioneer Mine
near Gold Bridge, BC.

9 MINERALIZATION
The most significant gold mineralization on the Dome Mountain Project is contained within five
zones (Figure 5) of the past-producing Boulder Vein System (listed in order of importance):
! Boulder Main Vein: This zone has a strike ranging from 090° to 100° and dips
ranging from 45° to 70° south. The vein has been defined over a strike length of 440
metres from section 652,900 UTME to 653,340 UTME and a down-dip extent of more
than 180 metres starting at the surface. The mineralized zone within the vein has a
shallow easterly plunge with an average horizontal width of 2.3 metres, ranging from
1.6 to 10.5 metres. The majority of the 43,900 tonnes of past production came from
this zone.
! Argillite Vein: The Argillite Vein is a splay off the Boulder Main Vein. It strikes at 120°
and dips to the southwest at angles ranging from 35° to 50° and it appears to flatten
along strike to the southeast. The zone is somewhat discontinuous over the defined
strike length of 240 metres and a maximum down-dip extent of 90 metres. The vein
has an average vertical thickness of 3.2 metres, ranging from 2.1 to 3.8 metres.
! Boulder Footwall Vein: This zone is sub-parallel to the Boulder Main Vein and is
located at the east end of the Boulder Vein System. It has been defined by drilling
over a strike length of 140 metres from 653,300 UTME to 653,440 UTME and over a
down-dip extent of approximately 200 metres. The zone has an average horizontal
width of 1.9 metres, ranging from 1.6 to 3.8 metres. The zone is open down-plunge
to the east and down-dip. Minor past-production came from this zone.
! Boulder West Hangingwall Vein: This vein is also sub-parallel to the Boulder Main
Vein. It is a somewhat discontinuous vein with an overall strike length of 100 metres
located between 652,960 UTME and 653,060 UTME and a defined down-dip extent of
approximately 100 metres. It has an average horizontal width of about 2.4 metres,
ranging from 1.8 to 3.8 metres.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 27
! Boulder East Hangingwall Vein: This is a thin and somewhat discontinuous vein that
occurs over a strike length of about 50 metres at the east end of and sub-parallel to
the Boulder Main Vein.
In additional to the past producing Boulder Vein System , gold mineralization at the Dome
Mountain Project is present at twelve separate locations: Free Gold, Forks, 9800, Ptarmigan,
Elk, Eagle, Gem, Raven, Hawk, Chance, Hoopes, Jane Cabin, and Pioneer. The Free Gold and
Forks zones are classified as past-producers by the BC Government Minfile database while theothers are listed as either as prospects or showings. The Cabin Vein is considered to be the
westward extension of the Boulder Vein.
The veins occur in a roughly northwest-southeast 12 kilometre trend from southeast of Dome
Mountain to Mt. McKendrick. This trend may reflect the presence of a deep seated structure. A
modest amount of diamond drilling has been conducted on the various veins but to date no
minerals resources have been defined.
For detailed information on the mineralogy and structure of the veins and wallrock alteration,
refer to the Property Geology section of this report.

10 EXPLORATION
Exploration by previous operators on the property has been described in the history section of
this report.
In 2008 Eagle Peak Resources Inc. conducted soil geochemistry 3D induced polarization and
magnetic surveys over the Boulder Vein System and its projected extension to the east. These
surveys were designed as an orientation of the geochemical and geophysical signatures related
to the known veins and structures as an aid to further exploration. Drill hole DM09-046 was
drilled to target a coincident 3D induced polarization and zinc soil anomaly in the area of the
Chance Vein Minfile showing (Figure 5). The hole intersected 19.07 grams per tonne gold, 14.0grams per tonne silver and 6.70 % zinc over 0.6 metres from 49.4 to 50.0 metres down-hole
depth. The true thickness of the intersection is unknown.

PRE-2009 DRILLING
The pre-2009 diamond drilling concentrated on the Boulder Vein System after the discovery of
the Boulder Vein in 1985. The information available from this work by various operators
consists of lithologic and structural drill logs, collar surveys, and assays. The collars were
surveyed relative to a mine grid but downhole surveys consisted of dip readings only. Assay
certificates show that gold and silver grades were determined by fire assay. This work pre
dates the implementation of NI 43-101 therefore no qualified persons are identified for the
programs.

In 2009 McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. of Smithers BC converted the mine grid
coordinates to NAD83 UTM. The collar locations are plotted in Figure 6.
2009 DRILLING
During the period from July 28 to September 24, 2009, Eagle Peak Resources Inc. conducted a
drill program of 46 HQ holes totaling 5,705 metres. Most of the drilling was conducted on the
Boulder Vein system to in-fill the existing drill pattern and to confirm the results from the pre-
2009 drilling. The drill core is stored at the Metal Mountain warehouse in Smithers.
Driftwood Diamond Drilling Ltd. of Smithers, BC provided contract drill services with the
geological and field duties conducted by various hired independent consultants and contractors
working on behalf of Eagle Peak. The qualified person for the 2009 program was Daryl Hanson,
P.Eng.
The holes were logged under the supervision of the qualified person and stored in a digital
format. Metal Mountain Resources Inc. has a written procedure for logging, sampling, and
photographing core. The complete drill-hole logs with lithology, structure, alteration and assays
as well as the certificates of analysis are stored at the field office of Metal Mountain Resources
Inc. in Smithers, BC.
Down-hole surveys were conducted by the drill crew using a Reflex EZ-Shot hole survey tool.
The collar location of each hole was surveyed relative to the NAD83 UTM grid by McElhanney
Consulting Services Ltd of Smithers, B.C. using a Leica 803 Total Station instrument. The collar
locations are plotted on Figure 6.
North-south cross-sections were generated at 20 metre intervals along the Boulder Vein System
in order to test the along strike and down-dip continuity of the veins. Section 653,100 UTME is
presented in Figure 7 to demonstrate the down-dip continuity and extent of the Boulder Main
Vein.

12 SAMPLING METHOD AND APPROACH
PRE-2009 DRILLING
The details of the core sampling method and approach by previous operators are not in the
historic records.
2009 DRILLING
The intervals to be sampled were determined by the geologist at the time of logging and the
lengths of the intervals were adjusted to coincide with major lithological contacts. Samples were
taken from the quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins (QV) and the surrounding wall rock alteration
(Va and Vas). Minimum sample length was 0.2 metres. Half core samples were taken using a
diamond saw. A total of 932 sawn samples were taken for analysis.
A total of 70 specific gravity determinations were made from core samples covering all the major
rock types . The results are reported in the Mineral Resource Estimate section of this report.
Core recovery was consistently between 95 and 100% and there were no other drilling factors
that could materially affect the accuracy and reliability of the results.
There are no known sampling or geologic factors that could have contributed to sample bias.
A complete listing of intersection composites is provided in Appendix IV.
2009 UNDERGROUND SAMPLING
The vein exposures in the stopes accessed from the 1290 level were washed, mapped and chip
sampled. Samples were taken from the quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins (QV) and the
surrounding wall rock alteration (Va and Vas) at right angles to the vein. The minimum sample
width was 0.2 metres. A total of 193 chip samples were collected for analysis
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010

13 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY
PRE-2009 DRILLING
The details of the drill core sample preparation, analysis and security by previous operators are
not complete in the historic records. Assay certificates indicate that samples were analyzed at a
variety of laboratories including Bondar-Clegg & Company Ltd., Chemex Labs Ltd., Acme
Analytical Laboratories Ltd., Rossbacher Laboratory Ltd., Min-En Laboratories Ltd., and
Kamloops Research & Laboratories Ltd. There is no record of Quality Assurance/Quality
Control (QA/QC) protocols.
A report dated March 12, 1990 by A. L'Orsa for Teeshin Resources Ltd. describes the results
obtained for 28 diamond drill holes. The holes, numbered D89-1 to D89-14 and D90-1 to D90-
14, were drilled on the Boulder Main and Argillite veins. All were NQ-size and the samples were
analyzed at Min-En Laboratories in North Vancouver, BC (L'Orsa, 1990). There is no mention
of assay QA/QC protocols.
2009 DRILLING
Samples were sent to Assayers Canada (Assayers) in Telkwa for preparation and then the
pulps were sent directly to Assayers Canada in Vancouver for gold and silver fire assays and for
ICP analysis. The certificates of analysis are stored at the Smithers field office and the
analytical procedure is documented in Appendix V. The preparation laboratory in Telkwa and
the analytical laboratory in Vancouver are certified by ISO 9001:2008.
Standards were included in each sample stream at a rate of 1 in 20 (5%) as a control on
laboratory accuracy, precision and bias. The ore reference standards used were CDN-GS-8A
and CDN-GS-11A prepared by CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, BC. GS-8A has a
recommended value of 8.25 ± 0.60 g/t gold while GS-11A has a recommended value of 11.21 ±
0.87 g/t gold (Appendix VI).
Blank samples of limestone aggregate were inserted into the sample stream randomly at a rate
of 5% as a check on laboratory contamination.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 34
Twenty six (26) reject duplicate samples and sixty one (61) pulp duplicate samples were sent to
Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver for gold and silver analysis by fire assay. The
rejects were prepared at the Acme Preparation Laboratory in Smithers. The analytical
procedure is attached as Appendix VII. Both the Smithers preparation laboratory and the
analytical laboratory in Vancouver are certified by ISO 9001:2008.
Eighteen (18) quarter core field duplicate samples were submitted to Assayers for gold and
silver analysis by fire assay as a check on the sampling technique and variability of the
mineralization.
To check for possible bias due to the "nugget effect", eleven (11) coarse reject samples were
submitted to Assayers Canada for a metallic gold fire assay analysis. The analytical procedure
is presented in Appendix VIII.
A “chain of custody” was maintained from the drill to the preparation laboratory to ensure
sample security.
2009 UNDERGROUND SAMPLING
The sample preparation, analysis and QA/QC protocols for the underground samples was the
same as for the 2009 drill core samples.

14 DATA VERIFICATION
Original drill logs and assay certificates were used to verify and correct the historic digital
database which had been converted to MS Excel from PCExplore software. Original assay
certificates were not found for 991 (38%) samples.
In order to validate the pre-2009 sampling for the purpose of using the data in resource
estimation, cumulative frequency plots were made to compare the gold assay results from the
2009 drilling with the results from the 1985-93 drilling. The comparison was made within the
same volume between UTM coordinates 652940 E to 653150 E, 6068840 N to 6069000 N, and
1230 to 1370 metre elevation. This volume approach was chosen over hole twinning as it was
felt to be more appropriate for this type of deposit. The results of the comparison are presented
in the section on Mineral Resource Estimate.
STANDARDS

In general the results are quite good but the trend of the line is rising over time, indicating a
slight positive bias of up to 4% starting in about mid-September..
QA/QC failures for the standards submitted are listed in Table 4 along with the action taken. The
criteria to flag a standard as a failure is based on a Z-score > ABS(3) AND %Diff > ABS(10).

PULP DUPLICATES
Of the sixty one pulps, twenty one were below the Acme detection limit of 0.17 g/t gold and
another 3 samples were below the practical detection limit of 0.85 g/t. The remaining thirty
seven sample pairs were used in the comparison. The average grade for Acme for these 37
assays is 9.74g/t, while Assayers Canada averaged 10.18g/t. Acme’s average was 4% lower.
The scatter plot for the thirty seven pairs (Figure 10) shows a tight scatter with Acme results
higher at the low end and lower on the high end. There were 27 cases where Acme assays
were lower, and only10 cases where they were higher, indicating a bias for lower Acme assays.

FIELD DUPLICATES
Quarter core samples are not true duplicate samples. The scatter plot (Figure 12), however,
shows a reasonable correlation between the sample pairs. The half core data has a mean of
11.7 g/t gold and a standard deviation of 23 while the quarter core data has a mean of 12.6 and
a standard deviation of 20.0. Eight of the quarter core samples have gold values higher than
the half core samples while nine are lower and one has essentially the same value.

METALLIC GOLD DUPLICATES
This is a very small sample and not representative of the total grade distribution as seven of the
samples had a calculated grade of less than 5 g/t. All eleven samples tested contained coarse
gold and seven samples had greater than 10% coarse gold as a percentage of the total gold
(Figure 13). More samples representing the complete range of the grade distribution are
required for the results to have a meaningful statistical significance.
Figure 13 - Metallic Gold Results
Even though there is a significant portion of coarse gold in the samples tested, a comparison of
metallic assays and fire assays shows excellent correlation (Figure 14). Again this may be due
to the small sample size and more work is required to prove this correlation.

15 ADJACENT PROPERTIES
Guardsmen Resources Inc. is the registered owner of several mineral tenures adjacent to the
Dome Mountain Project. These tenures contain the following Minefile occurrences:! 093L 024 Ascot prospect
Galena-sphalerite-barite showings were discovered near the head of Canyon Creek in
1951 but not explored at that time. The earliest significant work, in 1967-1969, was by
Texas Gulf Sulphur Company which acquired the property as a result of a
reconnaissance silt survey. Geological mapping, soil geochemistry and EM surveys were
done, followed by one drill hole. During the 1970s and 1980s the main showings were
re-staked and/or optioned numerous times.
Minor programs were conducted by prospectors and companies, including Geostar
Mining Corporation (1984), Noranda Exploration Company (1985) and Canadian United
Minerals Ltd. (1986). A comprehensive program was conducted in 1987 by Geostar
Mining Corporation. It included backhoe trenching which revealed several new mineral
occurrences. The most recent work was performed by Alliance Mining Inc. in 1996.

! 093L 041 Ophir showing
The Ophir showing is host to a light grey medium-grained felsic tuff with quartz eyes that
contains 3 per cent pyrite as disseminations and in fracture filling along with minor
chalcopyrite. Quartz-carbonate and chlorite veinlets crosscut the felsic tuff.
Minor prospecting and geochemistry was conducted by Freemont Gold Corp. in 1985.
! 093L 332 Peggy (dome South) showing
The showing, a prospecting discovery in 2007, consists of silver-copper mineralization in
a zone of altered limestone cut by numerous quartz-sulphide stringers. Hand trenching
in the area of the showing exposed a barite-rich, siliceous sequence of volcanic
sediments with some areas displaying disseminated chalcopyrite. Chip samples
collected in 2007 graded up to 83.9 parts per million silver and 9,620 parts per million
copper over one metre

In 2009 Golden Odyssey Mining Inc. drilled nine holes on the Dome South project including six
on the Peggy showing, two on a 3D chargeability anomaly and one on a magnetic high
anomaly. Assays from the Peggy showing returned low concentrations of silver and base
metals.

16 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
The most recent metallurgical testing was initiated by Eagle Peak Resources Inc. in 2009. The
work is being conducted by PRA Metallurgical Division (PRA) of Inspectorate America Corp. in
Richmond, BC under the direction of Matt Bolu, P.Eng. The purpose of the testing was to
investigate the recovery of gold and silver by flotation, cyanide leaching and heap leaching at
the pre-feasibility level.
Approximately 1000 kg of sample was taken in equal amounts from the broken muck in six
underground drawpoints. The sample was collected under the direction of Daryl Hanson of IGS
and shipped to PRA for preparation, analysis and testing. The material from each drawpoint
was assayed separately and then combined in equal amounts to form a master composite
sample. The head grade of the master composite was 13.3 g/t gold and 61.7 g/t silver. The full
scope of the PRA work is presented in Appendix XI and a summary of the test results to-date is
presented below. These are preliminary results as the PRA report and the process flow sheet
have not been finalized at the present time.
MineralogyThis section on mineralogy is taken directly from the report titled "Petrographic Evaluation of a
Zinc, Copper, Lead, Silver and Gold-bearing Composite From Dome Mountain, British
Columbia" by Inspectorate America Corp. Petrographic Services dated November 23, 2009
(Appendix X).
"Pyrite was the dominant sulfide present in the 0905808-H Master Composite, comprising
5.15% of the sample by bulk modal analysis. Other sulfides present in the composite include
sphalerite (1.51%), chalcopyrite (1.21%), galena (0.19%) and chalcocite (0.02%). Trace
amounts (<0.01%) of bornite were observed. Sulfides were commonly multiply associated with
one another, with pyrite-sphalerite, pyrite-galena and pyrite-chalcopyrite associations the most
common, and sphalerite-chalcopyrite and sphalerite-galena associations also common.
However, gangue was typically non-opaque (91.3%), with silicates (mostly quartz, 44.5% with
accessory micas, 19.2% muscovite, clays, 5.6%, and feldspars, 2.8%) dominant. Carbonates
were also present, at 19.2%, while minor iron oxides were also detected (0.6%). Sulfates were
not detected above the detection limit of 0.5% by Xray diffraction; wet chemistry by PRA gave
0.03% SO4 2- concentration. Graphite was not observed, though graphitic carbon assay by Leco
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 45
by PRA indicated 0.05% graphite was present. Hosting minerals tended largely to be non-
opaque as well. Silver minerals were not observed, therefore it is likely that silver resides in
another mineral, possibly galena. It is also possible that silver minerals are submicroscopic.
The liberation and locking profile of the bulk sulfides indicate that about 84% of the sulfide
grains were liberated, and 16% were locked. Considering the mean sizes of liberated and
locked sulfides (42µm and 188µm, respectively), the weight percent sulfide liberation is 6% by
volume-weighted average.
Gold metal grains are primarily observed to be associated with pyrite (57% statistically and 98%
by volume weighted mean), though some of the gold-hosting pyrite is itself encapsulated by
other gangue minerals, primarily non-opaque gangue. The hosting minerals (encapsulating
grains which contained the gold and its tertiary, quaternary and quinternary associations) were
statistically non-opaque gangue (41%), and secondarily pyrite (34%). Other hosting minerals
included iron oxides, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. In all, 64% (statistically) of the gold
associations involved sulfides (99% by volume weighted mean). Small monomineralic gold was
also present at low levels. All of the gold observed was slightly pale, suggesting that some
electrum component may be present. The gold averages 51µm in diameter, and ranges from 1-
1060µm. One ~1mm gold nugget was observed, and was associated with non-opaque gangue.
As no other nuggets were observed, this occurrence was ignored for the purposes of calculating
volume-weighted mean associations, though it should be noted that a certain nugget effect may
cause data reproducibility problems, as nuggets may skew some test results towards free gold.
With the current 10-mesh crush, much of the gold, aside from random large nuggets, is
statistically leaching resistant. Moreover, some of the gold-hosting sulfides are themselves
encapsulated by large gangue grains. Grinding to free these grains should be prioritized. The
size distribution of the locked sulfides suggests that at least a 150µm crush would begin to free
the hosting sulfides. The gold itself would then require about a 50µm crush and leach. Preg-
robbing phases such as graphite and pyrrhotite are rare; the chief source of carbon in the
composite is the mineral ankerite. Overall, the sulfide association data shows that high gold
recoveries may be achieved by targeting pyrite. Leaching should also be employed to
sequester monomineralic gold and any remaining gold nuggets that remain."
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 46
Flotation (H.M. Bolu, personal communication)Four flotation tests were conducted at a nominal primary grind size 80% passing (P80) of 105
mm using conventional reagents such as potassium amyl xanthate (PAX), a sulphide mineral
collector; Methyl IsoButyl Carbinol (MIBC) a frothing agent; dithiophosphate promoter (Aerofloat
208), a collector for native gold and silver; and copper sulphate solution (CuSO4), an activator
of sulphide minerals with precious metal content. Optimization tests for reagent types and
consumption rates have not been carried out and may be done at a later project phase.
The results from these tests indicated that over 96% of the gold and over 98% of the silver could
be recovered into rougher concentrates at approximately 16% mass pull. The rougher
concentrate grades varied from 80-93 g/t Au and 426-470 g/t Ag. Cleaner flotation of the
rougher concentrates after regrinding to a nominal P80 size of 30 mm increased precious metal
grades to 224 g/t Au and 939 g/t Ag. The resulting recoveries were 92% for gold and 83% for
silver. These recoveries are expected to increase slightly in a closed circuit locked cycle test.
Cyanide Leaching (H.M. Bolu, personal communication)Whole ore cyanide leach tests were conducted using conventional process conditions as widely
practiced in the industry. Results and test conditions from the most relevant bottle roll leach
tests are summarized in Table 5.

The above test results indicate that the samples as tested were highly amenable to cyanidation,
producing high precious metal recoveries in leach solutions. These two-kg tests were
conducted at different grind sizes of 190 mm, 106 mm and 53mm, all at 80% passing particle
size (P80). Other test parameters such as leach slurry solids density, sodium cyanide
concentration and leach time were kept constant at 40% solids, 1.0 g/L and 72-h, respectively.
Gold recoveries in leach solutions varied from 86.5% for the coarse grind size of P80=190 mm
to 96.0% for the finest grind size of P80=53 mm. The intermediate grind size of P80=106 mm
resulted in 92.4% gold recovery. Silver recoveries on the other hand were lower and varied from
28.3% for the test with the 190 mm P80 grind size to 33.6% for the 53 mm P80 grind. As
expected, leach recoveries increased with increasing fineness of grind due to increased particle
liberation and exposure of precious metal surfaces to leaching. In subsequent tests, the
intermediate grind size of 106 mm P80 was used as the basis when investigating other process
conditions or variables.
Sodium cyanide consumption rates for the above tests were modest and varied from 1.55 kg/t of
feed solids for the 190 mm P80 grind size to 1.73 kg/t of feed solids for the 53 mm P80 grind
size. This is also consistent with metallurgical expectations that finer grind size results in
increased cyanide consumption rates due to increased exposed mineral surfaces for leaching.
The test with the intermediate 106 mm P80 grind size resulted in 1.63 kg sodium cyanide
consumption per tonne of feed solids. On the other hand, lime consumption rates for all three
tests were constant at a modest 0.4 kg/t of feed solids.
Extending leach residence times to 96-h along with increased cyanide concentration level of 2.0
g/L in leach solutions improved leach recoveries approximately 1% for gold and 9% for silver
while increasing sodium cyanide consumption rate to 3.0 kg/t of feed solids. Increasing leach
slurry density to 50% solids at 1.0 g/L cyanide concentration level and 96-h leach residence
time also resulted in increased leach recoveries of approximately 1% for gold and 4% for silver.
Sodium cyanide consumption rate for this test was 1.44kg/t of solids while lime consumption
was 0.5 kg/t.
A pre-manganese leach ahead of cyanidation, to free silver from silver-manganese minerals, did
not result in improved silver recoveries. Complete results of the tests are attached as Appendix
XII.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 48
Cyanide leaching of flotation concentrates also showed promising results with unit recoveries
that ranged from 97% to nearly 99% for gold and 24%-23% for silver. However, overall
recoveries after flotation and including losses from flotation were 92-91% for gold and 22-19%
for silver. Sodium cyanide consumption rates varied from 1.36 kg/t to 2.02 kg/t of flotation feed
solids. Lime consumption rates were at less than 0.03 kg/t of flotation feed solids.
A 10-day diagnostics heap leach test on minus 1.5 inch crushed sample showed gold and silver
recoveries of 15% and 11% respectively. Due to high grade residue assays including the fine
size fractions, the heap leach tests were not pursued beyond this point.
Gravity (H. M. Bolu, personal communication)A single gravity separation test at a primary P80 grind size of 105 mm showed that 16% of the
gold and 3% of the silver in the feed can be recovered into a concentrate of 0.18% of the feed
weight. The concentrate grades were 1,180 g/t Au and 1,219 g/t Ag. Additional gravity testing
to develop a mass vs. grade/recovery relationship is in progress.

17 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
There has been no attempt to confirm the historical geological resources that have been
reported from the property by earlier workers. Previous resource calculations predate the
implementation of National Instrument 43-101.
In March 2010 Gary Giroux, P.Eng. completed a technical review of all drill hole data and
produced a resource estimate for the Boulder Vein System. The estimate conforms to modern
requirements of the CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves – Definitions and
Guidelines (CIM, 2000). Gary Giroux is a consulting geological engineer with extensive
experience calculating mineral resources and qualifies as an Independent Qualified Person as
defined in National Instrument 43-101.
Details of the methodology are described in the following sub-sections written by Gary Giroux.
Data AnalysisThe provided data consisted of 330 drill holes with a total of 6,355 assays for gold and silver. A
total of 2,809 samples reported missing or -1 values for gold and were set to 0.005 g/t a value ½
the detection limit as were 6 samples reporting 0.000 g/t for Au. For silver 2,963 samples at -1
and 81 at 0.000 g/t were set to 0.05 g/t Ag a value ½ the detection limit. For the purpose of this
resource estimate only a portion of this total data was applicable. The resource was confined to
the limits described below.
The various identified veins were modelled by Moose Mountain Technical Services of Elkford,
BC using MineSight software (see Appendix IX) and are shown in Figure 15 below.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010

Figure 15: Three Dimensional Vein Solids
Assays were tagged with various flags designating mineralized Zone, lithology present and
colour of rock. Simple statistics for gold and silver were produced for each set of codes to
determine which coding method best outlined the mineralized zone.

Clearly the 802 assays from all mineralized zone codes contain high average grades for gold
and silver. It is also apparent that significant grade exists in the un-coded or waste zones with
gold values up to 50.39 g/t and silver up to 249.90 g/t. Sorting the data by lithology, shown
below in Table 7, indicates the best grade occurs in material coded either quartz vein or fault
(Code = 95 or 85). However lithologies Altered Volcanic with quartz stringers (Code 81) and
Intercalated Argillites and Tuffs (Code 110) all contain average values of gold greater than 1 g/t
again indicating the presence of interesting mineralization outside and perhaps on the shoulders
of the quartz veins.

The colour codes while more ambiguous indicate the highest average grades in Colour White
(Code 80), which presumably describes the quartz veins. Again, however, significant
mineralization is indicated outside the veins, with average gold grades greater than 1 g/t in
rocks coloured bleached (Code 5), grey (Code 45) and un-coded (Code -1). The results are
summarized in Table 8.

Drilling on the Dome property has been completed between the years 1985 to 1993 where a
proper QA/QC program was not in place and again in 2009 when QA/QC procedures were used
as documented in earlier sections. To validate the earlier data a comparison was made for gold
grades from quartz veins (Code 95) within the same volume of rock assayed in different periods.
The comparison was made within the same volume contained between the coordinates 652940
E to 653150 E, 6068840 N to 6069000 N and 1230 to 1370 elevation. A lognormal cumulative
frequency plot is used to compare the two different gold grade distributions (see Figure 16).
The comparison is reasonable with older holes showing slightly higher grades above 7 g/t. This
is likely due to the fact that some of the higher grade material has been mined out and was not
available to be sampled in the 2009 drill holes.

CompositesThe drill holes were “passed through” the domain solids with the entry and exit point marked for
each hole. Uniform down hole composites, 1 m in length, were formed to honour the domain
boundaries. Capped values for Au and Ag were used to form the composites. Small intervals,
less than 0.5 m at the domain boundaries, were combined with the adjoining sample to produce
a composite file of uniform support (1.0 ± 0.5 m). Table 11 gives the composite statistics sorted
by zone.

VariographyPairwise relative semivariograms for gold and silver were produced for each of the veins with
sufficient data to model. Anisotropic nested structures were fit to the Bolder Vein (Code 100),
Argillite vein (Code 200) and the West Hanging Wall vein (Code 400). The HW and FW veins
(Codes 500 and 900 respectively) did not have sufficient geologic information to build 3
dimensional solids and as a result were not modeled. The Boulder FW vein (Code 150) was
similar enough to the Boulder Vein to apply the Boulder variography and the West Hanging Wall
model was used for the East Hanging Wall. For all veins modeled the principal directions were
along strike, down dip and across dip. The across dip direction had too little information to
model but the first pair was used to establish the nugget effect and nominal ranges of 5 and 10
m were assumed for the two structures. The semivariogram parameters for each vein are
summarized in Table 12 and the models are shown in Appendix II.

Note: A nested semivariogram has a nugget effect (C0), combined with, in this case, two nestedstructures with structural component C1 over the range a1 for the short range structure andstructure C2 over the range a2 for the long range structure. The sill of the semivariogram is madeup of the combination of C0 + C1 + C2.
Block ModelA block model with blocks 5 x 5 x 5 m in dimension was superimposed over the vein solids with
the percent below surface topography and percent within each vein solid recorded for each
block. GEMCOM software was used to determine these percentages using a procedure called
“needling”. The block model parameters are shown below.

Bulk DensityA total of 70 specific gravity determinations from pieces of drill core were made during the 2009
drill campaign. The methodology was the weight in air / weight in water procedure where SG =
(Weight in air) / (Weight in air – Weight in water).
The results are presented in Appendix III. In summary, specific gravities from a total of 20
samples in quartz veins ranged between 2.63 and 3.49 with an average of 2.86. A total of 50
samples in wall rock material had specific gravities ranging from 2.67 to 3.02 with an average of
2.82. Previous to this a composite of 10 core samples used for metallurgical purposes in 1986
were sampled and showed a specific gravity of 2.78. Historical estimates have used 2.75. For
this resource the composite 2.78 value was used for both vein and wall rock. In future drill
programs more measurements should be taken to better differentiate between vein material and
waste rock.
Grade InterpolationGrades for gold and silver were interpolated into blocks using ordinary kriging. In all cases the
kriging exercise was completed in a series of four passes with the search ellipse dimension tied
to the semivariogram range and expanded from ¼ the range in pass 1, to ½ the range in pass 2,
to the full range in pass 3 and finally to twice the range in pass 4. In each pass a minimum of 4
composites were necessary to estimate the block. If more than 12 composites were found in
any search the closest 12 were used. A maximum of 3 composites were allowed from any one
drill hole and as a result all blocks are estimated by a minimum of two drill holes.
The Boulder Vein (BLDR) had the most information. The strike and dip varied along strike from
west to east and as a result the kriging for this vein was completed in three stages. For the
western part of the vein (West of 652946 E) a strike of azimuth 81o and dip of -42o S was used
for the orientation of the search ellipse. Within the central part between East Coordinates of
652946 and 653200 the strike changed to azimuth 94o and dip -52o S. Finally for the eastern
part of the vein with East Coordinate > 653200 E the strike was along azimuth 91o and the dip
steepened to -81o S. A soft boundary for data was used in these three vein segments but the
orientation of the search ellipse tried to follow the strike and dip of the vein. Only composites
from within the Boulder vein were used to estimate grade.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 59
For the Boulder Foot Wall vein (BFW) the general model for the Boulder vein was used but the
search ellipse was oriented along strike of azimuth 91o and dip of -81o S. Only composites
within the Boulder Foot Wall vein were used for this estimate.
The Argillite vein was also split into two segments for estimation. The western part west of
653190 E was estimated using a search ellipse oriented along strike at azimuth 115o and dip of
-47o S. For the eastern segment with east coordinate > 653190 E the strike was adjusted to
azimuth 97o and dip of -28o S. Only composites from within the Argillite vein were used for
these estimates.
The West Hanging Wall vein and East Hanging wall vein were estimated using composites from
within the WHW and EHW solids respectively.
ClassificationBased on the study herein reported, delineated mineralization of the Dome Deposit is classified
as a resource according to the following definitions from National Instrument 43-101 and from
CIM (2005):
“In this Instrument, the terms "mineral resource", "inferred mineral resource", "indicatedmineral resource" and "measured mineral resource" have the meanings ascribed to thoseterms by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, as the CIMDefinition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by CIMCouncil, as those definitions may be amended.”
The terms Measured, Indicated and Inferred are defined by CIM (2005) as follows:
“A Mineral Resource is a concentration or occurrence of diamonds, natural solidinorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base andprecious metals, coal and industrial minerals in or on the Earth’s crust in such formand quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects foreconomic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics andcontinuity of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specificgeological evidence and knowledge.”“The term Mineral Resource covers mineralization and natural material of intrinsic
economic interest which has been identified and estimated through exploration andsampling and within which Mineral Reserves may subsequently be defined by theconsideration and application of technical, economic, legal, environmental, socio-economic and governmental factors. The phrase ‘reasonable prospects foreconomic extraction’ implies a judgement by the Qualified Person in respect of thetechnical and economic factors likely to influence the prospect of economicextraction. A Mineral Resource is an inventory of mineralization that underrealistically assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions might become
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 60
economically extractable. These assumptions must be presented explicitly in bothpublic and technical reports.”
Inferred Mineral Resource“An ‘Inferred Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidenceand limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and gradecontinuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gatheredthrough appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, workingsand drill holes.”
“Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, itcannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will beupgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continuedexploration. Confidence in the estimate is insufficient to allow the meaningfulapplication of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation ofeconomic viability worthy of public disclosure. Inferred Mineral Resources must beexcluded from estimates forming the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.”
Indicated Mineral Resource“An ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can beestimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application oftechnical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of theeconomic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliableexploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques fromlocations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spacedclosely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.”
“Mineralization may be classified as an Indicated Mineral Resource by theQualified Person when the nature, quality, quantity and distribution of data are suchas to allow confident interpretation of the geological framework and to reasonablyassume the continuity of mineralization. The Qualified Person must recognize theimportance of the Indicated Mineral Resource category to the advancement of thefeasibility of the project. An Indicated Mineral Resource estimate is of sufficientquality to support a Preliminary Feasibility Study which can serve as the basis formajor development decisions.”
Measured Mineral Resource“A ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are so wellestablished that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow theappropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support productionplanning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate isbased on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gatheredthrough appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits,workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geologicaland grade continuity.”
“Mineralization or other natural material of economic interest may be classifiedas a Measured Mineral Resource by the Qualified Person when the nature, quality,quantity and distribution of data are such that the tonnage and grade of themineralization can be estimated to within close limits and that variation from theestimate would not significantly affect potential economic viability. This category
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010

requires a high level of confidence in, and understanding of, the geology and controlsof the mineral deposit.”
Geologic continuity has been established through diamond drilling over a number of drill
campaigns and underground mapping and mining. Grade continuity can be quantified by
semivariogram analysis for each variable.
In the better informed Boulder vein and Argillite vein, blocks estimated in Pass 1 and 2 for gold
were classified as Indicated. These blocks were estimated with composites from within ½ the
semivariogram range. The remaining blocks were classified as Inferred. For the Boulder FW
vein, WHW vein and EHW vein all blocks were classified as Inferred as the drill density is still to
sparse to allow for indicated.
Estimated blocks were trimmed to the overburden surface and volumes attributed to
underground development were subtracted from the block volumes (see Figure 17).
The resource contained within the mineralized veins assuming one could mine to the vein
boundaries and no external dilution is presented in Tables 13 and 14. The results are shown for
a variety of gold cut-off grades as there has been no economic evaluation completed at this time
to establish an economic cut-off. A “base case” 5.0 g/t cutoff has been highlighted as a possible
cut-off that would be reasonable for an underground gold deposit in north-western British
Columbia. However, it is quite likely that the entire vein will be mined as it will be very difficult to
mine to a grade cut-off in this style of narrow vein deposit.
DilutionTo establish the influence of a mining dilution on the resource and to determine the grade of this
dilution, two scenarios were produced for the Main Boulder Vein (Code 100).
The first extended the Main Boulder Vein solid 0.5 m into the foot wall of the vein. New
composites were created to cover this vein extension and the expanded vein solid was kriged in
a similar manner as described above.
The second exercise extended the Main Boulder Vein solid 0.5 m into the hanging wall of the
vein. Again new composites were created to cover this vein extension and the expanded vein
solid was kriged in a similar manner as described above.
Dome Mountain Technical Report April 2010
Giroux Consultants Ltd. Page 62
The results are shown in graphical form (Figure 18) to show the kind of dilution that might be
expected with one half metre added to either the foot wall or hanging wall of the vein. As would
be expected the tonnage increases at the expense of grade. These runs will provide grades for
dilution in the mine planning stage.

19 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
Resource EstimateThe following conclusions are made regarding the resource estimate:
! The 2009 drilling program successfully confirmed the results of pre-2009 drilling to a
degree that all holes could be used in the resource estimate.
! The 2009 in-fill drilling on sections 20 metres apart seems adequate to define indicated
resources for mine planning purposes.
! The indicated resource for the Boulder and Argillite Veins is not very sensitive to the cut-
off grade (see Table 15).
! There is insufficient drilling to classify the Boulder Footwall, East Hangingwall, and West
Hangingwall resources as indicated.
! The QA/QC procedures used in the 2009 drilling program were adequate to verify the
analytical data from Assayers Canada.
! More metallic assays are required to confirm the reliability of the fire assay technique.
! Additional specific gravity determinations are required for all rock types.

Extension of Known StructuresThe most immediate targets for increasing the mineral resources of the Dome Mountain Project
are:
! The Boulder Main Vein and the Boulder Footwall Vein down-plunge to the east.
Interesting drill hole intercepts between sections 653140m E and 653460 m E are: hole
90-08 with 36.1 g/t gold over 0.7 m and 20.9 g/t gold over 1.6 m, hole DM09-09 with 12.5
g/t gold over 2.0 m, hole 92-11 with 16.3 g/t gold over 2.2 m, hole 92-08 with 23.3 g/t
gold over 1.0 m, hole 90-15 with 19.6 g/t gold over 1.8 m and 14.0 g/t gold over 1.9 m,
hole 90-18 with 31.7 g/t gold over 0.5 m, hole 92-07 with 41.7 g/t gold over 0.7 m, and
hole DM09-43 with 8.6 g/t gold over 1.5 metres. All intersection widths are apparent
thicknesses.

Most of the inferred mineral resource comes from these veins between 653140m E and
653400m E.
! The Argillite Vein below the 1290 level.
Exploration
The intersection in hole DM09-046 can be interpreted either as the Chance Vein or a new vein
discovery.
Based on the results of exploration to date and on the deposit model, there is significant
potential to develop mineral resources on the Forks, Elk, Free Gold and 9800 veins and to
discover new veins.

20 RECOMMENDATIONS
In-Depth Geological Services and Giroux Consulting Ltd. make the following recommendations
for the continued exploration and development of the Dome Mountain Project:
! A Preliminary Assessment (PA) should be commissioned to determine the potential
economic viability of re-opening the Dome Mountain underground mine on a direct
shipping (toll milling) basis.
! Additional in-fill diamond drilling is proposed to upgrade the inferred mineral resource.
! Exploration should be conducted in order to increase the Mineral Resource.
! The exploration work should be phased to allow for evaluation of results and planning of
subsequent work.
Phase 1Phase 1 of the proposed program will consist of the PA and continued in-fill drilling to upgrade
the inferred mineral resource of the Boulder Vein System. The PA should look at the economics
of mining the Boulder and Argillite veins by underground mining methods. Separately the PA
should look at the potential to mine the Argillite Vein by open-pit mining. The in-fill drilling
program should consist of 5300 metres on sections spaced 20 metres apart. As part of the in-fill
drilling, specific gravity and metallic assay samples should be taken at the rate of 1 in 20 assay
samples. Phase 1 will also include 3000 metres of exploration drilling down-plunge to the east
on the Boulder Vein System and around hole DM09-046 as well as soil geochemistry and 3D
induced polarization surveys. A budget for the proposed program is summarized in Table 16.

Statistical Procedures:
The final limits were calculated after first determining if all data was compatible within a spread normally expected for similar analytical methods done by reputable laboratories. Data from any one laboratory was removed from further calculations when the mean of all analyses from that laboratory failed a t test of the global means of the other laboratories. The mean and standard deviation were calculated using all remaining data. Any analysis that fell outside of the mean ±2 standard deviations was removed from the ensuing data base. The mean and standard deviations were again calculated using the remaining data. This method is different from that used by Government agencies in that the actual “between-laboratory” standard deviation is used in the calculations. This produces upper and lower limits that reflect actual individual analyses rather than a grouped set of analyses. The limits can therefore be used to monitor accuracy from individual analyses, unlike the Confidence Limits published on other standards.

Re: Dome Mountain Vein Modeling
Moose Mountain Technical Services (MMTS) was tasked with the responsibility to create threedimensional solid models of mineralized zones in the vicinity of previously developed mining levels atthe Dome Mountain property. The veins of interest have historically been referred to as the Boulder andArgillite veins. Preliminary review of the available drill hole data indicate additional distinct and relativelycontinuous mineralization zones in limited areas of the hanging-wall of the primary targets.Furthermore, local knowledge indicates the westernmost panel developed by previous owners waslocated in the foot-wall of the Boulder horizon. Thus, in addition to the Boulder (BLDR) and Argillite(ARG) veins, 3d solid models were also created for theWest Hanging-wall (WHW), East Hanging-wall(EHW), and Boulder Foot-wall (BFW) zones.
Figure 17.1: Three dimensional vein solids modeled for Dome Mountain
DomeModel description (Mar-5).doc ! Page 2
The lower elevation limit of modeled solids is defined by the lower-most mineralized assays intersectedby current drilling.To create the 3d solids, historical drilling (including 2009) and mining data, as provided by Eagle PeakResources (EPR), are compiled in MineSight! (MS) using standard drill hole, survey, and translatedAutocad! files. Preliminary mineralization zones, indicated by assay data, were assigned by EPR andthen checked and rationalized by MMTS in the MS 3d workspace. The Domemodel zone horizons arenormally defined by the occurrence of quartz veins but also include non-quartz intersections wheresignificant mineralization is indicated and the intersection generally conforms to vein geometry.The following figure portrays the concepts utilized in the development of the Dome Mountain veinmodels.
Figure 17.2 Concept diagram of Dome Mountain vein modelQuartz intersections (1.) provide the key indicator for the mineralized zone. Assays indicatingmineralization (2.) further define the extent of the vein (3.). Intersections are assigned to respectiveveins based on lithological features and conformity to the overall strike and dip of the zone. (Note:Quartz and mineralized areas 1a. and 2a. are shown for illustrative purposes. Only the overall veinshape (3.) has been modeled for volumetric purposes.)Mineralized intersections that do not conform to the predominant geometry of the zone are excludedfrom the modeled 3d solids (6.). Of the 802 assigned assays in the area of interest, 213 intersectionsare not included in the present model and therefore represent an area of future model developmentand potential additional resources. The area upsection of the Argillite zone contains the greatestdensity of unassigned, mineralized assays.In addition to drill hole intersections, ‘as mined’ survey data (EPR provided) of the vein on the 1290 andestimates on the1370 level, are utilized to define the extent of the Boulder and Argillite zones in areasof previous development. Similarly, stope surveys above the 1290 level are utilized to conform themodeled solids to known previous development work. The previous mining on the 1290 & 1370 levelssignificantly adds to the credibility and continuity of the geological interpretation of Bolulder veinPreliminary zone bottom surfaces for each zone are created by triangulating drill hole and survey datapoints assigned to a given zone. To prevent the overestimate of zone volume, minimal thicknessintersections (0.01m) are assigned to drill holes intersecting the predicted mineralization surface butthat show no (or little) indication of mineralization at the zone horizon.

created by triangulating drill hole, survey, and minimal thickness data points. The solid model is thencomprised of the union of bottom and top surfaces for each zone..Traditional modeling techniques have included drawing vein shapes on two dimensional sections andprojecting the shape midway to the bordering sections. This method however, fails to honour theprecise location of the vein intercepts, and, when drill holes are not perfectly parallel to the section, canintroduce apparent thickness error. Overestimates of volume due to apparent thickness are thereforecontrolled in the Domemodel by using surfaces defined only by actual 3d drill and survey data points.Furthermore, rationalization and validation of the DomeMountain zone solids has been completed byensuring that overlaps and subsurface intersections (ie/ near zone merges and at the bedrock /overburden horizon) have been eliminated. Finally, zone solid volumes were estimated in Minesightand corroborated by GCL Consulting.

2 Petrographic Services Introduction
The following analysis was performed on a copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver-bearing master composite: A bulk head composite was examined to determine mineral bulk modal percentages and mineral associations in support of gold processing efforts. Bulk locking and liberation with degree of locking analysis was performed on the sulfide minerals. The methods used in the modal analysis include reflected light microscopy (E400 Petrographic Microscope) for ore minerals and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Sulfide mineral abundances and associations were collected via statistical modal analysis, and quantified by normalization to assay, while non-sulfide gangue data was normalized to semi-quantitative XRD. Liberation and locking data for sulfides was calculated as statistical grain percentages. A gold associations study was also undertaken. The purpose was to determine the appropriate method or methods of processing the gold. The methods used in the study include reflected light microscopy (E400 and Nikon Optiphot Petrographic Microscope). Associations for sulfides were likewise calculated as statistical grain percentages. Photomicrographs were taken in support of the analyses. The following details the samples submitted for this study.
Sample Identification
Sulfur Samples (Bulk Modal Analysis, Mineral Associations, Locking and Liberation, with Degrees of Locking) 1. 0905808-H Master Composite
Summary of Results Optical Results Pyrite was the dominant sulfide present in the 0905808-H Master Composite, comprising 5.15% of the sample by bulk modal analysis. Other sulfides present in the composite include sphalerite (1.51%), chalcopyrite (1.21%), galena (0.19%) and chalcocite (0.02%). Trace amounts (<0.01%) of bornite were observed. Sulfides were commonly multiply associated with one another, with pyrite-sphalerite, pyrite-galena and pyrite-chalcopyrite associations the most common, and sphalerite-chalcopyrite and sphalerite-galena associations also common. However, gangue was typically non-opaque (91.3%), with silicates (mostly quartz, 44.5% with accessory micas, 19.2% muscovite, clays, 5.6%, and feldspars, 2.8%) dominant. Carbonates were also present, at 19.2%, while minor iron oxides were also detected (0.6%). Sulfates were not detected above the detection limit of 0.5% by X-ray diffraction; wet chemistry by PRA gave 0.03% SO4
2- concentration. Graphite was not observed, though graphitic carbon assay by Leco by PRA indicated 0.05% graphite was present. Hosting minerals tended largely to be non-opaque as well. Silver minerals were not observed, therefore it is likely that silver resides in another mineral, possibly galena. It is also possible that silver minerals are submicroscopic. The liberation and locking profile of the bulk sulfides indicate that about 84% of the sulfide grains were liberated, and 16% were locked. Considering the mean sizes of liberated and locked sulfides (42µm and 188µm, respectively), the weight percent sulfide liberation is 6% by volume-weighted average. Gold metal grains are primarily observed to be associated with pyrite (57% statistically and 98% by volume weighted mean), though some of the gold-hosting pyrite is itself encapsulated by other gangue minerals, primarily non-opaque gangue. The hosting minerals (encapsulating grains which contained the gold and its tertiary, quaternary and quinternary associations) were statistically non-opaque gangue (41%), and secondarily pyrite (34%). Other hosting minerals included iron oxides, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. In all, 64% (statistically) of the gold associations involved sulfides (99% by volume weighted mean). Small monomineralic gold was also present at low levels. All of the gold observed was slightly pale, suggesting that some electrum component may be present. The gold averages 51µm in diameter, and ranges from 1-1060µm. One ~1mm gold nugget was observed, and was associated with non-opaque gangue. As no other nuggets were observed, this occurrence was ignored for the purposes of calculating volume-weighted mean associations, though it should be noted that a certain nugget effect may cause data reproducibility problems, as nuggets may skew some test results towards free gold.
3 Petrographic Services Processing Notes With the current 10-mesh crush, much of the gold, aside from random large nuggets, is statistically leaching-resistant. Moreover, some of the gold-hosting sulfides are themselves encapsulated by large gangue grains. Grinding to free these grains should be prioritized. The size distribution of the locked sulfides suggests that at least a 150µm crush would begin to free the hosting sulfides. The gold itself would then require about a 50µm crush and leach. Preg-robbing phases such as graphite and pyrrhotite are rare; the chief source of carbon in the composite is the mineral ankerite. Overall, the sulfide association data shows that high gold recoveries may be achieved by targeting pyrite. Leaching should also be employed to sequester monomineralic gold and any remaining gold nuggets that remain.

!Inspectorate America Corporation - PRA Metallurgical Division
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on behalf of Eagle Peak Resources Inc.
(EPR) by Bolu Consulting Engineering, on August 5th, 2009. Objectives are to
optimize the potential of gold and silver recovery for the Dome Mountain project in
central BC, by cyanide-leaching mainly. Inspectorate America’s PRA Metallurgical
Division (PRA) is pleased to respond with this Proposal, building on its recent
testing experience on two of the client’s major projects, and numerous programs
for similar undertakings.
Inspectorate America Corporation (see www.inspectorate.com) is a global provider
of inspection, analyses and testing services for a wide range of commodity sectors
and consumer goods. The PRA Metallurgical Division has served the mining
industry for over 15 years and, along with its iPL Analytical Division, is located in a
modern 30,000 sq. ft. research facility situated in Richmond BC, Canada. Both
PRA and iPL are wholly owned subsidiaries of Inspectorate America Corporation.
The scope of work as outlined in the RFP is quite specific, and the following task
descriptions will reflect 11 items of interest that were listed, assuming that 900 kg
of representative sample will consist of six level composites of differing grades. A
separate environmental test program will require generation of sufficient amounts
of representative process tailings. Coordination of details and close supervision of
all work through the client’s consultant is to be expected.
Cost estimates for each task are broken down in labor and assay components and
tabulated in Appendix A. Corporate information including recent project histories
are provided in Appendix B.

2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
2.1 SAMPLE PREPARATION
Arrival of samples will trigger project initiation and in-depth confirmation against
client provided lists. Next, a set of detailed instructions are issued for sorting into
sub-lots (A, B, C, D, E, F) of ~150kg each, to be air-dried if needed and separately
jaw-crushed at a 1½” setting. Riffle splitting will produce representative halves
one of which is archived. The other split is crushed to ½”, halved again with only
one split (¼ of original sub-lot) further reduced to 10-mesh, prior to splitting into
2kg test charges and head assay aliquots.
Included in this group of tasks are careful labeling and standard storage of unused
samples for future retrieval, the eventual preparation of a coarse-crushed Main
Blends and shipping of one each of representative splits for Rod Mill Index work
(Hazen, Colorado) and optical Mineralogy (CTI, New Orleans).
2.2 HEAD ASSAYS
Aliquots of each of the six 10-mesh level composites will be assayed by standard
Inductively Coupled Plasma with Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) following multi-acid
digestion, augmented by quantitative determinations of Au and Ag by fire assay,
As by hydride generation and Hg by cold vapor attachments. Based on the
findings, blending of the Main Composite will follow client-input and a confirmatory
head assay will be required.
A mineralogical determination of mineral associations, impurities as well as pay
metal occurrences can be conducted by optical means at Inspectorate’s CTI
Laboratory in New Orleans, or any alternate provider if preferred by the client. As
soon as the head assays are verified by the client, testing on the Main Composite
can proceed as follows.
Eagle Peak – Dome Mountain - 4 -
!Inspectorate America Corporation - PRA Metallurgical Division
2.3 HEAP LEACH EXPLORATION
The RFP specified a 3-day coarse bottle-roll test on a 1½”-crushed Main Blend
with a residue screen size assay to evaluate the top-size for a single column leach
simulation test of 9-weeks duration. It is recommended that whole-ore leaching be
first conducted on a 5kg charge with 0.5g/L NaCN, pH 10.5 at ~40% solids and a
low RPM tumbling rate to avoid attrition. Kinetic solution samples will be taken at
the 2, 8, 24, 48 and 72-hour marks. The bottle roll test is ended with filtration and
displacement washing of the leach residues, which are then screened into 5 size
fractions for complete pulverization and assaying for Au and Ag only.
Whilst levels of values in coarser particle sizes of samples tend to be variable,
rational evaluation criteria for the 3-day bottle roll leach tests will need to be
defined. Particle size targets and major conditions for short column testing are
then derived. Should bottle roll results be discouraging enough, the budget for
column leaching better be used for remedial heap-leach improvement ideas as will
be discussed with the client. For now it is assumed that column leaching at ½” top
size is possible and a separate estimate (Table 2) is provided on that basis.
The appropriate amount of Main Blend material at the selected size is prepared for
loading into a suitable PVC column without agglomeration. A calculated dosage of
lime would have been added to the feed charge, and tap water is circulated over
the first few days to ensure that the target application and percolation rates, and a
safe pH level for cyanide leaching are attainable. A carbon adsorption column is
inserted on-line, and cyanide leaching is started with daily monitoring and barren
solution adjustments prior to recycling to the top of the column. Regardless of the
indicated levels of extractions, the column test will be closed out in the 9th week of
operation, with a tap water displacement rinse of two bed volumes. Inventories
are then taken for mass balance calculation and evaluation of standard heap leach
potentials.
Eagle Peak – Dome Mountain - 5 -
!Inspectorate America Corporation - PRA Metallurgical Division
2.4 FLOTATION TESTS
Main Blend 10-mesh test-charges will be ground at 65% solids in a laboratory SS
rod mill, at different durations to achieve three different grind sizes for bulk sulfide
flotation testing using reagents and conditions that are to be discussed. Tests will
include a rougher and scavenger stage, followed by a regrind and cleaning in 2
mechanical stages. Selected products (maximum of three) are to be tested for
baseline cyanide leaching. Au and Ag will be followed, with S and ICP checks
where needed only.
2.5 GRAVITY TESTS
Centrifugal gravity concentration tests will indicate the recoverable free gold levels
at various primary grinds mainly, whereas reliable grade and yield estimates could
come from larger scale plant simulations only. Given the feeble amounts of bowl
concentrates recovered, an indication of the cleaning potential by hand panning is
normally preferred. The RFP specifies cleaning by MMS using the C800 Mozley
Mineral Separator, which is more sophisticated than the Super-panner available at
PRA. Other options such as mini-tabling or hydro-separation at no additional cost
can be discussed if the project is awarded to PRA.
In total four gravity tests are planned to cover 3 grind sizes and one alternative
mass pull strategy for grade-recovery sensitivity evaluation. Cleaner concentrates
will be assayed to extinction; only Au and Ag will be followed.
2.6 AGITATED CYANIDE LEACH
Standard 72-hour leach tests will be conducted at 3 grind sizes, 2 NaCN control
levels, and whole-ore at 2 pulp densities; room for extra tests to assess the kinetic
effects of oxygen-sparging, flotation product leaching or infill confirmation should
be provided. Solution samples are taken at 2, 4, 8, 24 and 48-hour marks; Au and
Ag will be followed, whilst reagent consumptions and dO2 levels are tracked.
Eagle Peak – Dome Mountain - 6 -
!Inspectorate America Corporation - PRA Metallurgical Division
2.7 ALTERNATIVE LEACH TESTS
Where indicated, measures to enhance the leach performance by pre-aeration,
lead nitrate or carbon addition, and common alternatives may need to be tested.
The RFP specifies that room for 4 CIL tests should be budgeted for using nominal
carbon-in-leach test conditions, as derived from standard whole-ore leach results.
2.8 THICKENING AND FILTRATION
Ground head and leach residue pulps need to be tested for flocculation, settling
and vacuum filtration characteristics for plant design purposes. The screening of
common Flocculants will be tested in small graduated cylinders on leach residues.
Two settling tests are then conducted in raked 2-L cylinders and the underflow is
subjected to a standard leaf filtration test.
2.9 GRINDABILITY TESTS
A 15kg split of feed crushed to ½” will be sent out for determination of the Bond
rod-mill work index (RMI) at the Hazen Research Institute in Denver, Colorado. A
10kg split of the same feed is crushed to 6-mesh and will be tested in-house for
the Bond ball-mill work index (BMI) at a standard 150-mesh closing screen size. A
series of test grinds on 2kg charges for 3 selected durations in the dedicated
laboratory mill will allow reliable achievement of target sizes for the test program.
2.10 DETOXIFICATION TEST
Three SO2/air ratios for cyanide destruction will be tested in batch mode on fresh
undiluted leach pulp from a 25kg bulk leach test to confirm optimized conditions.
The product solutions are assayed for free cyanide only at intermediate intervals,
and the final barren product will be analyzed by ICP and CN-speciation. Details of
testing will be defined in consultation with the client.
Eagle Peak – Dome Mountain - 7 -
!Inspectorate America Corporation - PRA Metallurgical Division
2.11 BULK PRODUCTION LEACH TESTS
Tentatively, 100kg of leach residue and 60L of supernatant solution are needed for
environmental testing elsewhere. Bulk leach tests in !25kg feed batches will be
used to confirm bench leach performances and to generate the leached pulp for
the detoxification test as well. Final products of each bulk test will be assayed as
requested, including Acid-Base Accounting (ABA) on two selected products to
evaluate prospective fresh plant tailings.
2.12 SUMMARY OVERVIEW
The work that is outlined in items 2.1 to 2.11 above will be coordinated by PRA in
conjunction with the client and their representative (Bolu Consulting) and could be
modified to suit any as yet unforeseen budgetary or technical constraint. Results
of testing will be presented as drafts after cursory internal reviews for QA/QC
purposes, including comments and observations pertaining to follow-up testing. A
set of detailed draft procedures will be issued for pre-approval of each test and an
ongoing dialogue about the interpretation of results is welcomed.
Budget estimates for the likely body of work have been organized under different
headings in Table 1 of Appendix A. With several uncertainties yet to be resolved
for a 9-week column leach campaign, a separate quotation is provided in Table 2.
Essentially all items listed in the RFP have been considered in this proposal, whilst
the limited body of data available at PRA and on the internet has been reviewed.
Rather elevated total sulfur and zinc levels of 7.7% and 4.1%, respectively, were
noted in the composite tested. This would suggest that the flotation option might
be a viable solution that could produce sulfide-depleted barren tailings suitable for
disposal, whilst shrinking the required cyanide leach circuit to a fraction of the size
needed for whole-ore leaching.

3.0 COSTS AND INVOICING
Except where noted above, the test work will be performed at PRA at standard
rates, and all cost estimates are based on recently updated Inspectorate and sub-
contractor fees. The detailed breakdown into tasks and associated costs for major
metallurgical categories is shown in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix A.
Charges for labor and equipment maintenance versus fees and analyses are given
as a separate cost items. Applied labor rates for sample preparation are $50/h,
rising to $85/h for testing by technicians, and $150/h for project management that
includes supervision and reporting. The program is priced without overtime
charges and assumes work will be performed during regular scheduled hours of
8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. Technical instruction and supervision,
data tabulation and entry, as well as client liaison is charged at 15% of the total
laboratory estimate.
A report including an executive summary, introduction, procedures, results,
conclusions and recommendations, along with all detailed test results will be
provided for work performed through PRA. An electronic copy and three bound
hard copies of the final report will be issued within 3 weeks of the conclusion of the
test program. Interim progress reporting which will include detailed spreadsheets
of the results as generated. Interim and final reporting is charged at 10% of the
total laboratory charges, as outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix A.
Shipping charges and storage charges are not yet included. There are no storage
fees during the test program (except when cold storage is requested). Following
completion of the project, applicable storage charges for less than 1 tonne are
based on a sliding scale by weight. Nominal bulk storage charges (>1 tonne) are
applied at $500/tonne/month. Alternatively, any residual material can be disposed
of (at cost) or returned to the client.

!Inspectorate America Corporation - PRA Metallurgical Division
An advance payment of $15,000 is required to initiate the project. Outstanding
balances will be invoiced net 30 days along with actual services provided during
the billing period, as detailed on each invoice.
The cost estimates are in Canadian dollars and remain valid for 6 months from the
date of this proposal. Totals quoted as outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix A
are $43,000 + $12,230 = CA$55,230, not including any applicable taxes. The
number of tests, and methods proposed can be modified to suite the client’s
technical and budgetary requirements following the award of the project, based on
detailed task cost schedules as provided.
Eagle Peak – Dome Mountain - 10 -
!Inspectorate America Corporation - PRA Metallurgical Division
4.0 SCHEDULE
Sample preparation can begin as soon as the sample has been received with
prepayment. It is anticipated that the sample preparation, head analyses, size by
size analysis and mineralogy could be completed in two weeks.
The remaining schedule will depend on the total of number of tests to be
performed and on the sequencing requested. Bench scale work including gravity
separation, agitated leaching and rougher flotation can be completed with data
compilation within five weeks. Column leaching would only start towards the end
of that period and extend for another 10-weeks for completion.
The main test schedule as outlined in Table 1 would require seven weeks to
complete and, if column leaching is by then initiated, an overall delivery time of at
most 16 weeks is estimated. The PRA schedule can be modified (or fast-tracked
at additional cost) to suit the client’s requirements. Should PRA be awarded the
test program, details of testing, scheduling and task executions shall be refined
and discussed in-depth with the client.
