2 ITEM 1. SUMMARY

Search Minerals Inc. (Search) is a Junior Natural Resource Company, with its main office at 1320-885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3E8. The company’s website is www.searchminerals.ca, and President Jim Clucas can be contacted at [email protected]. It is a publicly traded company on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SMY.V. Search and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alterra Resources Inc (Alterra), have land holdings exclusively in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The focus of Search Minerals is the acquisition and exploration of properties that are prospective for rare earth elements, gold, base metals, and uranium. This Technical Report references the B & A property, Port Hope Simpson, Labrador, Canada.

Current exploration on the B & A property is focussed on the potential for Rare Earth Elements (REE) within the Grenville Province of southeast Labrador. The B & A property consists of 11 licences, covering an area totalling 18,925 ha. The northwest tip of the almost continuous group (main group) of 10 licenses is approximately 10 km west of the town of Port Hope Simpson (PHS), while the south-eastern most tip of the area is approximately 24km southeast of PHS. The northwest tip lies along Bobby’s Brook while the southeast end borders St. Lewis Inlet. The eleventh license (016732M), which is separated from the main group of licenses, is approximately 50 kms northwest of Port Hope Simpson.

The main group of licenses is accessible by vehicle via a gravel, all season highway (#510) and a seasonal gravel logging road. License 016372M can only be accessed by helicopter.

The Port Hope Simpson area has been under-explored for REE.

A detailed geophysical survey carried out by Aeroquest Ltd. on behalf of Search Minerals Inc. has been studied and interpreted. The interpretation of this data correlates high concentrations of U and Th with REE. High concentrations of incompatible elements, including U, Th, and REE are commonly found in peralkaline rocks.

The exploration target is REE granitic pegmatite-hosted mineralization, with a radiometric signature, in peralkaline rocks.

ITEM 5. ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE and PHYSIOGRAPHY

The topography of the area is fairly rugged and hilly with elevations ranging from sea level to 330 m. In the low areas and valleys, bog or marsh can commonly be found. Throughout the area there are many ponds and lakes that empty into streams and rivers that flow eastward to St. Lewis Inlet. The vegetation varies from boreal forest, consisting of spruce, pine and some poplar and birch, to areas covered by alders and caribou moss. Some parts of the property have been affected by forest fires and are currently covered by partially burned trees with regenerated tree growth. Bedrock exposure ranges from 0% in bogs up to 25% in burn-over zones and barren hilltops.

The main property is accessible by highway 510, a maintained, all season, gravel highway, and a seasonal gravel logging road. The outlying license (016732M) occurs 8 km southwest of the highway and is accessible only by helicopter.

PHS is subject to a maritime climate. During the 6 month field season, temperatures range from the average low of -10 C in May, to the average high of 180 C in July and August. Over the same time period, average monthly precipitation ranges from 64 mm (May) to 92 mm (June). Average

9 monthly snowfall in May and June are 8 cm and 3 cm, respectively; snow is not expected in the remaining months of the field season.

The community of PHS, the nearby airstrip, and shipping docks can facilitate the supply of most of the goods and equipment needed for an exploration program.

ITEM 6. HISTORY

Some previous work has been reported on the area covered by the B & A property. Most of this focuses on License 015131M and the search for sapphire.

Work was completed between September 14 and October 19 1997, by Cartaway Resources Corp. on previous license(s) presently covered by 015131M and 015132M (assessment file LAB/1240). An exploration program was implemented on this property in search for blue corundum, also known as sapphire. This information and compiled datum were not beneficial or applicable to Alterra in its search for REE mineralization in the area.

A previous license(s), presently covered by license 015131M, had work completed between May 29 and August 3 1996, by Greenshield Resources Inc. (assessment file LAB/1205). This file describes a program of geological mapping, prospecting, lithogeochemical sampling, and diamond drilling. Most of the focus was not on any of the Alterra Resources property but towards the north-northwest. The program was looking at the potential for economic magmatic copper-nickel mineralized areas within the Alexis River Anorthosite. It was completed with no significant economic mineralization being discovered. The information in this assessment file presently gives no direct information that can benefit Alterra.

Assessment file LAB/1203 shows work completed between, 1994 and 1996, by Rockhopper Corporation and Cartaway Resources on previous license(s) presently covered by license 015131M. This report focuses on sapphire and therefore it is of no relevance to Alterra’s exploration.

Assessment file 13A/08/0043 describes work conducted during September 7 to October 22, 1997, by Cartaway Resources. The majority of the land runs along the northeast border of Alterra Resource license 015131M. The work on the property involved exploration for sapphire, and included prospecting, geological mapping, creation of road access, grid establishment, and collection of channel and till samples. These programs produced no relevant data for Alterra’s REE exploration program.

10 It is considered that these assessment files have little to no bearing on Alterra’s exploration program.

ITEM 7. GEOLOGICAL SETTING and MINERALIZATION

The B & A property is underlain by three lithotectonic domains of the Grenville Structural Province: from north to south, Lake Melville, Mealy Mountains and (Gower, 2005; Gower et al., 1987, 1988). Each of these domains is distinguished by differing lithologies, structures and metamorphic effects; the domains are separated by major fault zones (Gower et al., 1987, 1988). The mineralization identified in this report occurs in post tectonic granitic pegmatite dykes.

The Lake Melville domain, in the Port Hope Simpson area, is characterized by units of the Alexis River anorthosite, biotite-bearing granite, granodiorite and quartz diorite to diorite gneiss (Gower et al., 1987, 1988). The Fox Harbour fault zone separates the Lake Melville, to the north, from the Mealy Mountain domain, to the south (Gower, 2005).

Most of the property is underlain by the Mealy Mountains domain, which occurs on the north shore of St. Lewis Inlet and northwestward. This domain contains mostly biotite granitic gneiss, K-feldspar megacrystic granite gneiss, quartz diorite to dioritic gneisses and pelitic to semipelitic sedimentary gneisses (Gower et al., 1987, 1988). The Mealy Mountains domain is separated from the Pinware domain by the Long Harbour fault zone; this fault mainly occurs within St. Lewis Inlet (Gower, 2005).

The Pinware domain, in the St. Lewis Inlet area, consists of metamorphosed felsic to intermediate intrusions and older intercalated quartzo-feldspathic supracrustal rocks. Intrusions consist mainly of granite, K-feldspar megacrystic granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite and quartz diorite (Gower et al., 1987, 1988). Supracrustal rocks are thought to be metamorphosed felsic volcanic rocks and arenitic sediments (Gower, 2007).

Granitic pegmatites cut most units in the region. Some of the biotite and/or magnetite-bearing granitic dykes also contain unidentified U, Th and REE minerals. These mineralized dykes, which vary from less than 10 cm to several metres across, are the main focus of the exploration program.

11 ITEM 8. DEPOSIT TYPES

Exploration is aimed towards investigation of REE mineralization in biotite- and magnetite- bearing granitic pegmatite and aplite. REE deposit models indicate that pegmatite- and aplite- hosted mineralization is associated with granitic intrusions and felsic volcanic rocks.

ITEM 9. EXPLORATION

Sampling: Initial grab sampling was conducted by B & A Minerals Ltd. (2009). Additional grab samples were collected during a follow up phase of the exploration program by Alterra prospectors (2009). This phase of the program was not overseen by a professional geologist; therefore these samples may not be representative. All grab samples were sent for geochemical analysis by Eastern Analytical Laboratories in Springdale, NL. These samples were collected to evaluate REE mineralization in granitic pegmatites and to provide REE background values in host rocks.

17 Geophysics:

A low level (50 m above the ground) airborne geophysical survey was conducted on the B & A property by Aeroquest Surveys in November, 2009. The survey was performed with a fixed wing plane to collect detailed magnetic and radiometric data. The flight direction was at 25o/205o, with 250 m line spacings.

Multi-phase felsic intrusive complexes are apparent in magnetic data as concentric circular features. REE deposit models indicate that REE are likely located at the margin of intrusive complexes and along the linear features that may represent dykes or faults. Pegmatite dykes are the focus of interest, because they will host higher concentrations of REE.

Mineralized REE pegmatites commonly contain elevated concentrations of incompatible elements such as: Th, U, Ta, Zr, and Nb. Correlation between the U and Th radiometric data and the location of known REE pegmatites on the B & A property indicate that U, Th, and radioactivity are good pathfinders for REE.

Figures 6-9 are sketch maps illustrating the results of the airborne survey. The IGRF magnetic map (Figure 6) illustrates some structures, stratigraphic units and the presence of felsic intrusions with a magnetic signature. Figures 7 and 8 outline the occurrences of radiometric anomalies throughout the property. The potassium data can be used to discriminate between potassium- enriched rocks (e.g., granites) and potassium-poor rocks (e.g., anorthosite).

22 ITEM 10. SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES, and SECURITY

Sample preparation of grab samples was carried out by Eastern Analytical Laboratories then sent to Acme Analytical for analysis: Eastern Analytical explained their sample preparation procedures as follows: “Samples are organized and labelled when they enter the lab. They are then placed in drying ovens until they are completely dry. After drying is complete samples are taken and crushed in a Rhino Jaw Crusher to approximately 75% - 10 mesh material. The complete sample is riffle split until we are left with approximately 250 – 300 grams of material. The remainder of the sample is bagged and stored as coarse reject. The 250 – 300 gram split is then pulverized using a ring mill to approximately 98% -150 mesh material. The ring pulverizers and jaw crushers are cleaned with silica sand when changing clients. The sample prep technician also inspects the rings and bowls after each sample and silica sand is used to clean equipment as needed.”

The following is a direct quote from Acme Analytical outlining their analysis procedures: “Group 4B Total Trace Elements by ICP-MS. This package comprises two separate analyses. Rare earth and refractory elements are determined by ICP mass spectrometry following a Lithium metaborate / tetraborate fusion and nitric acid digestion of a 0.2g sample (same decomposition as Group 4A). Group 4B requires 5g for analysis.” The Group 4B Detection Limits are listed in Appendix B.

ITEM 11. DATA VERIFICATION

The grab samples were not collected under the supervision of a professional geologist, therefore the quality of the samples and analyses cannot be fully verified. Proper sampling and data verification methods will be implemented in the upcoming exploration program. The data in this report are being used to locate possible REE mineralized pegmatites on the property. In the follow-up exploration program, samples will be taken under the supervision of a professional geologist to properly evaluate the REE mineralization. Quality control will be implemented to ensure that the highest analytical and sampling standards are met.

ITEM 12. ADJACENT PROPERTIES

There are no relevant adjacent properties.

23 ITEM 13. OTHER RELEVANT DATA and INFORMATION

The B & A property was previously explored and sampled by prospectors without the supervision of a professional geologist. Data collected from these samples should only be considered preliminary in nature. The ongoing exploration program will use the preliminary sample data as a guide for a future sampling program.

ITEM 14. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION

The grab sample results collected by the B & A prospectors give strong reason to suggest that further exploration should be conducted for REE mineralization.

ITEM 15. RECOMMENDATIONS & BUDGET

Based on the initial and follow up sampling conducted by prospectors working for B & A Minerals Inc, and Alterra Resources Inc. and the airborne geophysical survey, a program of exploration is recommended as follows: 1. Resample and re-evaluate the anomalous areas to verify results and understand controls over mineralization. 2. Conduct reconnaissance prospecting and mapping based on the above and over anomalous areas as defined by the airborne radiometric/magnetic survey. 3. Based on results of the above conduct more focused exploration potentially including detailed mapping and sampling, trenching and diamond drilling.
