1.0 SUMMARY
The Palmarolle property lies 25 km southwest of the City of La Sarre in Palmarolle Township, Quebec. The property includes 18 contiguous mineral claims comprising 720 hectares. Access to the property is by paved road from the south and north.
Exploration and previous work on the property dates back to 1957. Since then, the Palmarolle property has received sporadic exploration in the form of prospecting, geochemi- cal and geophysical surveys, as well as trenching and limited diamond drilling.
The property is underlain by the Archean volcanic sequence of the Abitibi greenstone belt, which is the largest and the most economically significant greenstone belt in North America.
The exploration program conducted in 1988 by Hi-Tec Resource Management Ltd. has defined geochemical and geo- physical anomalies on the Palmarolle property. The VLF-EM survey delineated five strong to weak conductors, nearly all of them exiting off the grid towards the western boundary of the property, while their values were still increasing. The conductors strike east-west with a minimum 400 m in length. Three magnetic anomalies were also deli- neated. One magnetic anomaly is coincident with the VLF-EM anomaly.
These results indicate the subject claims have the potential to host precious metal and base metal mineralization.
In order to fully evaluate the mineral potential of the claims, an exploration program consisting of diamond 2 drilling, geochemical and geophysical surveys is recom- mended. 3
2.0 INTRODUCTION
At the request of Inner Resources Ltd., Hi-Tec Resource Management Ltd. conducted a mineral exploration program on the subject property in Palmarolle Township, Quebec. The program was carried out from January 22 to February 11, 1988 and consisted of linecutting, establishing a survey grid, 2 station VLF-EM, a total field and vertical gradient magnetometer survey as well as rock sampling.
The purpose of the program was to explore for precious metal and base metal mineralization. This report is based on the results of the 1988 exploration program and on the available literature pertaining to the area.
2.1 Location and Access
The claims are located 25 km southwest of LaSarre, Quebec or 60 km north of the city of Noranda, Quebec. The claims are covered by NTS map sheet 32D/11. The property is centered at approximately 48°36'N latitude and 79°15'W longitude.
Access to the property from the town of Palmarolle is south along Highway 393 for 7 km to the intersection of the road to St. Laurent, then 4 km west to reach the western boundary of the property.
An alternate access route is from the southern side of the property. The east-west access roads form the north and south boundaries of the property.
2.2 Physiography and Vegetation
The relief of the claim area is generally low to moderate, comprising a low hill on the central part of the property. ` ,PROPERTY LOCATION

2.4 History and Previous Work
Exploration and previous work on the property dates back from 1957 when Northern Exploration Ltd. reported the potential for a replacement deposit in lots 17-23, Range II, which lie immediately to the east of the Palmarolle property.
During 1957, Kerr Addison Gold Mines Ltd. conducted an exploration program on lots 8 to 12 and 9 to 14 in Range I and II. This program consisted of geological mapping, a magnetometer survey and trenching. The trenches are located in the southern half of lot 11 and 12, range II. They are about 150 m west of the grid of the 1988 exploration program. Rock samples collected from these trenches returned values of 0.12 oz Au/ton/8', 0.19oz Au/ton/5', 0.64 oz Au/ton/2.5' and 0.33 oz Au/ton/5' (Kerr Addison, 1957).
In 1980 Soquem Inc. conducted geophysical surveys (Magnetometer and HLEM) on their properties located in Roquemaure, Palmarolle and Duparquet Townships. On the Palmarolle property, two magnetic anomalies were delineated. These anomalies strike north-northwest and lie on the southern portion of lot 11 and 12, range II.
In the winter of 1980-81, Geola Ltd. conducted an IP survey on lots 9 to 15 in range I and II. This survey delineated four anomalous zones, while only one was drill tested in March 1981. The drill hole (912-81-1), situated on lot 11, intercepted two mineralized zones with values of 6.7 g Au/t (0.19 oz/t) and 1.52% Cu over 0.31 m at a depth of 53.6 m and 1.22 g Au/t (0.035 oz/t) over 1.06 m at a depth of 70.2 m. The total depth of the drill hole was 136.25 m. S

In 1983 an exploration program consisting of stream sedi- ment, basal till, underground water, rock and soil sampling, electromagnetic, magnetometer and gravimeter sur- veys were conducted by Geomines Ltd. This exploration pro- gram was carried out on five claim blocks located in Palmarolle, Duparquet, Hebecourt and Roquemaure Townships. The Palmarolle property, which is situated within the Soquem block, is located between lot 9 and 17, range I and II. Results obtained from the geochemical survey recorded several stream, water, soil and till anomalies between lot 11 and 15, range II. In this area, geochemical soil anoma- lies were found for arsenic (ten of which were associated with gold), magnesium, copper, zinc, lead and nickel (Boivin, 1986).
In summary, several different types of surveys of limited extent have been completed on the Palmarolle property. Encouraging results from this previous work suggests that the Palmarolle property warrants further examination.
3.0 GEOLOGY
3.1 Regional Geology
The subject property lies in the central portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt, just north of the Destor-Porcupine fault. The Abitibi greenstone belt is the largest and the most economically significant greenstone belt in North America. The rocks of Abitibi belt consist of a major volcanic sequence striking N60° to N90°.
These rocks comprise varying proportions of basalt, acidic to intermediate lavas, tuffs and breccias. Sills, dykes and irregularly shaped intrusions of gabbro and diorite are present within the lavas. Numerous iron formations occur with the acidic tuffaceous phases of volcanic sequences. C

Typically they consist of thin chert layers interbedded with magnetite and hematite rich bands. Some beds contain iron rich silicas, sulphides and iron carbonates.
The volcanic rocks on the property area exhibit only low grade metamorphism. Primary structures show that the metamorphism took place with little deformation. The vol- canics show contact metamorphism up to the amphibolite facies in the vicinity of the granitic batholiths.
Two mines are situated southeast of the Palmarolle prop- erty. The Lyndhurst mine, 21 km southeast of the claim produced 141,500 tons grading 1.93% copper, 11,736 kg (55,814 oz) of gold and 1,478 kg (4,752 oz) of silver. This production came from scattered pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena mineralization, which was present along almost the entire length of the main shear. The ore appears to occur in northeasterly trending crumpled folds in a silicified rhyolite agglomerate and is related to numerous irregular porphyry intrusions.
The Hunter mine, 7 km southeast from the Palmarolle prop- erty, produced 500,000 tons grading 1.6% copper with a small quantity of silver. Disseminated chalcopyrite mineralization was in sheared rhyolite, forming three lenses with a convex top.
3.2 Property Geology and Mineralization
Field observations of the Palmarolle property, indicate that most of the property is covered by moderate to thick overburden. Two gravel pits approximately 20 meters deep were found on the property, indicating depth of overburden. Small isolated rock outcrops and a series of rock ridges were found on the property as well. 8
The Palmarolle property is reported to be underlain by two wide bands of fine to moderate grained rhyolite separated by a thin andesite band. Orientation of these bands is east-southeast. An iron formation follows the andesite- rhyolite contact (Gauthier, 1980). Two separate iron for- mation bands were observed around L15W 050N, where they are striking 340° and dipping 70° west. Different types of gabbro and quartz-feldspar dykes and sills cross the prop- erty. The property geology is shown on Figure 5 (Geoscientific Compilation Map, 1977).
Mineralization is not associated with a specific rock unit. Sulphide mineralization (pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite) is disseminated and can be found in every rock unit on the property. Due to severe winter conditions and poor outcrop exposure, only a limited geochemical survey was carried out on the grid. The writer collected 16 rock chip samples which were analyzed by Min-En Laboratories in Timmins, Ontario for 31 elements ICP and gold (Atomic Absorption). Sample locations are shown on Figure 5. Geochemical preparation and analytical procedures can be found in Appendix II. Field and analytical data are presented in Appendix III.
Discussion of Geochemical Results
Anomalous gold values exceeding 50 ppb were recorded in four out of sixteen rock samples. Rock samples JA-1 and JA-5 yielded gold values of 200 ppb and 180 ppb respectively.
Silver values range from 0.8 ppm to 3 ppm. A total of 12 samples contained greater than 1.0 ppm of silver.
Copper values vary from 8 ppm to 365 ppm and are coincident with high silver values. 9
The highest zinc value recorded was 155 ppm and the lowest was 19 ppm.
Lead values were slightly above background ranging from 11 ppm to 38 ppm.
Cadmium values vary from 0.3 ppm to 2.0 ppm.
4.0 GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS
Detailed ground VLF-EM and Proton Magnetometer surveys were performed over the established grid to provide detailed information for the identification and location of targets for drilling.
A total of 49.6 kilometers of survey lines were cut, chained and flagged over the property. These consisted of a total of 16 survey lines, each of approximately 3.1 kilometers. The line separation was 100 meters with readings taken at 25 meter station intervals.
The survey was conducted using an EDA Omni Plus VLF-EM Magnetometer (serial #218035) as the field unit. Diurnal variations and magnetic drift were measured using an EDA Omni-IV magnetometer. Both systems are micro-processor based. The data were stored, corrected, filtered, contoured and profiled using a Toshiba T1100 computer. Instrument specification can be found in Appendix IV.
VLF-EM
The VLF portion of the survey was conducted using three VLF transmitting stations: Cutler, Maine (24.0 kHz); Annapolis, Maryland (21.4 kHz); and Jim Creek, Washington (24.8 kHz). Because they most closely aligned to the grid 10 orientation, Cutler and Jim Creek were used for profiling. The VLF field strength, vertical in-phase component, and quadrature component were measured and recorded concur- rently for all three stations.
Both the VLF in-phase and quadrature components have been profiled and plotted using a Geosoft Stakplot program. The profile shows a fairly flat profile to the east which becomes progressively more complex to the west, illustrat- ing a number of small complex conductors throughout the western portion of the grid.
In order to differentiate between the effects of the dif- ferent conductors, a low-pass Fraser Filter has been applied to the data and the plot contoured out. As expected, this filter divides the output into several short narrow conductors generally striking east/west. This is consistent with the regional geology, which is volcanic in origin with abundant magnetite, hematite, and iron-rich chert bedding. There are also six larger conductors present.
Conductor A runs from line 12+00W, station 14+50N, striking east/west 400 meters to line 8+00W where it trends off the edge of the grid. This is a strong conductor lying on conductive ground. Conductor B is much weaker. It strikes east/west between lines 10+00W and 5+00W at station 6+OON and is 600 meters in length. Conductor C strikes northwest 700 meters between line 10+00W, station 1+50 and line 14+00W, station 6+OON where it is cut off by the edge of the grid. This is a strong, narrow, well-defined conductor of unknown length which is increasing in magnitude as it approaches the edge of the grid. Conductor D strikes east- northeast 450 meters between lines 15+00W, station 2+OON to line 11+00W, station O+OON. The best defined portion of the conductor lies between lines 11+00W and 13+00W. 11
Conductor E is more of a zone of conductivity than a single conductor. There appears to be at least two and possibly three or four separate conductors present within a very small area. The entire zone, which strikes east-west over 700 meters between lines 15+00W and 8+00W, is strong and narrow with its highest values lying on lines 11+00W and 12+00W. Values for this conductor, also increase as it approaches the edge of the grid.
Magnetometer
The total magnetic field and vertical gradient of the mag- netic field were measured at each grid station and stored. The magnetic values ranged from 57,700 gammas to 60,000 gammas with a mean value of 58,450 gammas. The majority of the property was covered with thick overburden which caused a flattening of the magnetic values. However, where the ground cover thinned, the values increased and the contours became tighter.
Whereas the VLF conductors generally trended east-west, the magnetic anomalies tend to strike southeast. There are three magnetic high anomalies present on the grid, two of which strike in this direction.
The axis of the first magnetic anomaly (axis A) strikes east-northeast from line 12+00W, station 14+50N to line 8+00W where it drops off. This anomaly lies alongside the VLF anomaly - conductor A. This is the only magnetic anomaly that has an associated VLF conductor lying adjacent to it.
The largest magnetic high strikes southeast from line 12+00W, station 13+75N, 1200 meters to line 5+00W, 4+OON. The average magnetic value for this axis is 58,700 gammas which is well above the background mean of 58,400 gammas. 12
The surrounding area to both sides of this axis is also significantly higher than average.
The third anomaly (axis C) lies to the south. It also strikes southeast and has an average value of 58,650 gammas. The axis extends 650 meters from line 8+00W, station 3+75S to line 4+00W, station 8+50S. Like axis B, this axis is surrounded by a large area of magnetically high readings.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Palmarolle property is located 25 km southwest of the City of La Sarre, in Palmarolle Township, Quebec. It con- sists of 18 contiguous mineral claims totalling approxi- mately 720 hectares. The claims are owned 100% by Inner Resources Ltd.
Previous work on the property originated in 1957. Since that time, the property has been partially explored inter- mittently by various companies. Results from this work has been encouraging. The work recently completed by Hi-Tec Resource Management Ltd. has been more comprehensive in its coverage.
The geology underlying the area consists of the Archean volcanic rocks of the Abitibi greenstone belt. The vol- canic rocks are represented by two wide bands of rhyolite separated by a thin andesite band. An iron formation is believed to be associated with this contact. Different types of gabbro and quartz-feldspar dykes and sills cross the property.
Disseminated pyrite mineralization is hosted by a volcanic rock complex. Limited rock sampling resulted in encourag- ing precious metal and base metal values. Gold values 13
include a high of 200 ppb gold (0.006 oz/t) from rock chip sample 88Q001JA while silver ranges from 0.8 ppm to 3.00 ppm. Minor copper values were also recorded.
The VLF-EM survey delineated numerous short, narrow and strong conductors, generally striking east-west. Five of them were located upon the grid, nearly all of which disappeared off the edge boundaries of the grid towards the western boundary of the proeprty, while their values were still increasing. Three large magnetic anomalies were also found, one of which was associated with the VLF conductor (Figure 10).
Based on encouraging results from both of the geophysical survey and geochemical sampling on the Palmarolle property, the writer concludes that the subject claims have the potential to host precious and base metal mineralization.
In order to fully evaluate the economic potential of the property, further exploration is recommended. The program should consist of:
1. Extending the existing grid to the west in order to carry out expanded geophysical and geochemical surveys.
2. Preliminary diamond drilling to test geophysical and geochemical anomalies.
