Claim Owners: Redton Resources Inc. C, -.. I z5 " 1 Claim Operators: Geoinformatics Exploration Inc. Report By Tony Worth Gerry Bidwell March 2006 Geoinformatics Exploration Inc Suite 304,700 West Pender Street Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1G8 Executive Summary The Redton Property is an alkali porphyry copper-gold project located in the Quesnellia region of northern British Columbia, Canada. The property is located within close proximity to known alkali porphyry copper-gold deposits at Mt Milligan (445Mt @ 0.215% Cu, 0.415gt Au), Chuchi Lake (50Mt @ 0.21% Cu, 0.21glt Au) and Lorraine (31.9Mt @ 0.66% Cu, 0.17glt Au, 4.7gh Ag). The property is owned by Redton Resources Inc. with Geoinformatics Exploration Inc. currently earning an 85% interest by spending $4.75M on exploration over 5 years. Included in the option agreement is the Takla-Rainbow property, currently under option to Redton Resources Inc. from prospector Mr Lome Warren. Work on the property in 2005 comprised a thorough process of: digital data capture and integration, interpretation of geoscience data, and application of a rigorous process of generating targets for alkalic porphyry copper-gold deposits. Data was compiled from various open file sources for the project and included: - 123 drill holes, including lithology logs and assays - 26 geological outcrop and interpretation maps - 15 geophysical datasets including magnetics, gravity, radiometrics and induced polarisation surveys - 22,982 located geochemistry samples - Mineral occurrence data from the BCGS Minfile database. In addition to compiling historical data the entire project area was flown with detailed magnetics and radiometrics in two separate surveys in 2005. The historical data compilation and detailed magnetics and radiometrics formed the basis of detailed lithological, geochemical and structural interpretations. These were subsequently used to generate targets using a Geoinformatics-refined targeting process known as MOCA. The MOCA targeting process is a model-driven method of targeting for mineral deposits using Monte Carlo probabilistic algorithms in order to incorporate uncertainty and risk into the targeting procedure. A total of 32 areas were defined as targets and subsequently ranked according to MOCA probabilities and degree of previous exploration. Several of the high ranked targets also have complementary empirical anomalism, such as zoned multi-element geochemical anomalies, IP chargeability and magnetic anomalies. The highest ranked targets will form the basis for exploration in the 2006 field season, with an extensive field program planned including drilling of four to six targets. TABLE OF CONTENTS ..

Box 50 007, 104 05 Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT The garnet supergroup includes all minerals isostructural with garnet regardless of what elements occupy the four atomic sites, i.e., the supergroup includes several chemical classes. There are pres- ently 32 approved species, with an additional 5 possible species needing further study to be approved. The general formula for the garnet supergroup minerals is {X3}[Y2](Z3)ϕ12, where X, Y, and Z refer to dodecahedral, octahedral, and tetrahedral sites, respectively, and ϕ is O, OH, or F. Most garnets are cubic, space group Ia3d (no. 230), but two OH-bearing species (henritermierite and holtstamite) have tetragonal symmetry, space group, I41/acd (no. 142), and their X, Z, and ϕ sites are split into more symmetrically unique atomic positions. Total charge at the Z site and symmetry are criteria for distinguishing groups, whereas the dominant-constituent and dominant-valency rules are critical in identifying species. Twenty-nine species belong to one of five groups: the tetragonal henritermierite group and the isometric bitikleite, schorlomite, garnet, and berzeliite groups with a total charge at Z of 8 (silicate), 9 (oxide), 10 (silicate), 12 (silicate), and 15 (vanadate, arsenate), respectively.

Department of Geological Sciences The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date 16 April, 1983 Abstract Molybdenum mineralization and coextensive alteration at Questa, Hudson Bay Mountain, and Endako occur in single/composite veinlets which exhibit distinctive alteration assemblages and paragenesis. Fluid inclusion populations from each ve'inlet type are compositionally distinct. Early fluorine rich, biotite-stable alteration is associated with hypersaline brines. These inclusions homogenize most frequently by halite dissolution at temperatures from 350°-600°+C. Molybdenum miner alization also coincides with quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration and inclusions having moderate to high salinity and lower (£350°C) temperatures of entrapment.

The garnets are characterized by high andradite (42.7–57.3), schorolomite (22.0–31.0), and morimotoite (15.6–26.5) end members. No distinct chemical zonation is noticed except for minor variations in Ti content. The garnets are enriched in LREE (average 731 ppm) and relatively depleted in HREE Citation: Samal, A.K.; Srivastava, (average 186 ppm) and show an M-type first tetrad that leads to a convex upward pattern between R.K.; Upadhyay, D.

The REE patterns Rare-Earth Element Geochemistry of (LaN/YbN = 1.11–2.11) are similar to those of garnets from skarn deposits. The presence of tetrad Nb-V Rich Andradite-Schorlomite- effect in the LREE pattern suggests an active role of metasomatic processes involving hydrothermal Morimotoite Garnet from fluids during the growth of the garnets.

The ores were intruded by late pegmatite dikes and calcite veins. A hydrothermal origin for thesephases through Ca-Mg-Fe-Al metasomatism is evident from their mode of occurrenceand textures. The phasesstudied show wide- spreadsubstitution between Mn3+ and Al in the l-site and between Mn2+ and Mg in the X-site. An Mg equivalent of okhotskite, reported for the first time, is present.This study establishesthat okhotskite representsthe Mn3+ end-member of the pumpellyite group of minerals and that solid solution between pumpellyite (Al dominant) and okhotskite is nearly complete.

Metamorphic and Metamorphogenic Ore Deposits Abstract Meta-exhalites consist of a variety of rock types including iron formation, coticule (garnet-quartz rock), tourmalinite, quartz-gahnite rock, apatite-rich rock, zincian staurolite-bearing rock, and barite-rich rock. Such lithologies may be spatially associated with a diversity of ore deposits, but they are particularly linked to sea floor base metal sulfides that formed in rift settings. Meta-exhalites generally form layers less than 2 m thick, above, below, in, and along strike from stratiform or exhalative ore deposits. Geochemical diagrams for iron formations, coticules, and tourmalinites (chondrite-normalized rare earth element (REE), ternary Al-Fe-Mn, Al/(Al + Fe + Mn) vs.
