Appendix 1: Soil Station Descriptions Appendix 2: Assay Certificates Appendix 3: Copper, Gold and Platinum in Soils: plan maps Appendix 4: Raw and Corrected Self Potential Geophysical Data, Profiles and Map Appendix 5: Statement of Qualifications Introduction Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd acquired the Quesnel River (QR) Mine, mill and adjacent mineral claims in February 2010 from Cross Lake Minerals. In March 2010 Barkerville Gold Mines (BGM) began mining the West Zone and poured their first gold dore bar from the mine in September 2010. In the same year the Company continued strategic acquisitions of mineral claims with plans to expand exploration activities throughout the QR Claim Group. This report outlines reconnaissance work conducted at two of Barkerville Gold’s noncontiguous mineral claims located immediately north of their mineral lease. The purpose of the work was to determine if a correlation could be made between anomalous soils and self potential geophysical survey data, to compare these results with older adjacent geochemical and geophysical surveys and to determine if the bedrock in roadcuts on trend to the northwest show any obvious mineralization.
Three line kilometers of grid was laid out g e n e r a ll y on the north side of the ‘M’ Forest Service Road on mineral tenure 854573. Three lines, each 1km each were flagged, but only Line 1 was fully prepared for soil and geophysical surveying. One rock sample and 34 soil samples were sent to ALS Mineral Laboratory for analysis. All results of the reconnaissance work is outlined hereafter.
- 1 - Property Location, Access and Physiography The QR mineral claim group is, during the period of work, located in two non-contiguous land packages immediately adjacent mineral lease 320752 which is located approximately 60km south east of Quesnel, BC.
The portion of the claim group related to this report is located to the immediate north of the northwest corner of the lease. The work area is located adjacent the ‘M’ Forest Service Road at 580126E, 5840789N (UTM Nad83) on tenure 854573. Access is made by travelling approximately 22.5 km from Frank’s Supermarket along the Quesnel- Hydraulic Road to a junction which t u r n s e a s t and crosses the Quesnel River over a one lane bridge named the Gravelle Ferry Bridge. Beyond this bridge the road becomes the 2700FSR before meeting with the 500FSR at ‘2707’ and ‘527’. To access the work site one must travel to ‘536’ and turn left onto the 4900FSR. Approximately 12 kilometers along the 4900FSR turn south onto the ‘49M’ FSR and travel to the work site.
In addition to the regular access used as above, access can also be gained by travelling from the start of the 500FSR at Highway 26, bypassing the 2700FSR and Gravelle Ferry Bridge. Furthermore, access can be obtained direct from the QR minesite and camp. A backroad accesses the 49M FSR only 600meters east of Line 1. Communications with the Mine Manager must be made prior to using the roads on the Mining Lease for safety reasons and because there are locked gates and access is restricted.
The reconnaissance work conducted on mineral tenure 854573 is referred to as the West LeBourdais ‘recon’ project to separate it from other 2011 exploration activities which were conducted to the west on another non-contiguous portion of the QR claim group. The project area at West Lebourdais is located in a forested 2 kilometers west of LeBourdais Lake. Much blowdown was encountered while establishing the three grid lines but, other than that, the gentle to moderate undulating terrain made for easy walking amongst the well spaced fir and spruce.
Airborne geophysical surveys and regional inspections across the property a p p e a r t o correlate to elongate exposures, subcroppings or
- 2 - rare road-cuts of amygdaloidal basalt and other volcanics.
Numerous attempts were made to get into the property earlier in the season, but snow made access difficult as shaded areas of the road did not melt until well into June. Attempts to access the work area were not applied towards assessment. Access and other concurrent works allowed Tenorex to work on the West LeBourdais project on June 21, 22, 29 and 30, 2011 and September 11- 13 of the same year.

The Quesnel Terrane is comprised of three main assemblages: the Nicola Group, the Quesnel River Group and the Takla Group. The Volcanic and sedimentary units of the Takla Group are cut by intrusive bodies of late Triassic to early Jurassic age, providing favourable conditions to host ore deposits such as those found at Mt Milligan, Gibraltar, Mt Polly and QR.

- 6 - Property Geology The QR Claim Group lies within the Quesnel Terrain and is covered in persistent, heavy glacial drift. Sporadic outcrops have been mapped in the past along some resistant ridges, creeks and road cuts. Amygdaloidal basalt, augite-hornblende rich andesite to basalt, brecciated flow basalt and lesser tuffs were observed upon initial reconnaissance of the property to determine accessibility before the work season started. The rock descriptions appear to place them within the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic volcanic assemblage as regionally noted. Outcrops are exposed throughout the entire QR property and further detailed mapping in areas of new road access and cut blocks could be advantageous and may provide additional key geological information .
The QR deposit is defined as a propylite gold skarn. The deposit was formed in the contact metamorphic aureole around the dioritic QR stock where mineralization and alteration occurs along the margin between the lower calcareous basalt and upper interbedded metasediments. An exception to this is the Northwest Zone where the mineralization occurs between several prominent dykes and the same upper metasediments. In general, pyrite is an indication of gold grade (Fier et al, 2009).
No outcrops were noted in the immediate vicinity of the West LeBourdais grid itself but several linear exposures were noted about 1km to the northwest of the grid and visited.
- 7 - Exploration History The Quesnel Gold Belt has long been an important region for exploration with recorded activities stemming back to the Cariboo Gold Rush of the 1860’s. Placer deposits are common throughout the belt with the Bullion Pit probably being the most popular. The source of the placer gold +/-platinum is likely local, at least in part, and hardrock mineral exploration in the mid to late 1900’s have helped to define and develop numerous hardrock gold mines throughout the area.
The following sheet is a summary of exploration activities that have been filed on or adjacent to Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd QR Claim Group between 1976 and 2007. Some work has been conducted since, and local to regional studies have been conducted by government geologists or government supported programs. Geoscience BC also has much published data from 2007 to 2010 for their Quest or Quesnel Trough project and while it is not presented in this report, it has been utilized on numerous occasions. The Quest Project data is available for viewing on MapPlace and correlates to earlier geophysical surveys over sections of the property and presented in some of the following reports.

The brushed portion of the grid (Line 1) was picketed and flagged with pink flagging, metal tags and l a b e l e d w i t h black permanent marker. The line should easily be relocated should more work be conducted in the future. The pickets can be found every 25meters along Line 1 for 1000meters except in locations where marshes, creeks or forestry roads make picket placement difficult. Line 1 is located on the east boundary of tenure 854573 as defined by mineral tenure shapefiles which were saved onto Tenorex’s GPS’s. Flagged lines 2 and 3 are located to the west of line 1.
The placement of the grid was established to explore an area where previous reconnaissance exploration was lacking and to possibly extend geophysical and geochemical anomalies located to the south east and north west. Soil sampling was conducted by Seth Brownhill every 25m at each picket where possible but on occasion wet ground, streams or roads saw some locations skipped. Samples were taken from the B-Horizon in a forested area located north of the ‘M’ Road. Soil colour and basic description along with depth was noted at each site. The sample was placed in a kraft soil sample bag, sealing it and labeling it with black permanent marker. Samples were transported back to Tenorex GeoServices, catalogued and dried on racks before shipping them to ALS Minerals Laboratory in Vancouver via VanKam Freightways. The laboratory procedures are attached and assay certificates are presented in the appendices along with mapped results.
A self potential geophysical survey was also conducted by Seth along Line 1 at approximately 12.5 meter intervals, except where excessively wet soil was intercepted.
In addition, Angelique Justason took 3 rock samples from one 15m long outcrop to the northwest of the grid. Field notes of each sample site and related data are also presented hereafter. Only AJ11-02 was provided to the lab as the other two samples were initially misplaced but they were later located and will be sent to the lab for analysis at a later date.

Other common applications for SP measurements include assessing seepage from dams and embankments, fluid migration pathways in landfills, mapping coal mine fires and for the study of drainage structures, shafts, tunnels and sinkholes1. It was the earliest developed geophysical method, invented in 1830, and was first applied to the exploration of the tin mines around Cornwall, England. The first sulphide ore body discovered by an electrical method was detected by SP at Nautenen Lapland, Sweden in 1907. The first ore body found in Canada by the SP geophysical method was in 1928 by Hans Lundberg at the Buchan’s Mine in Newfoundland (Burr, 1982) which produced over 6.6 million tons of lead-zinc ore2. The self potential geophysical method involves the measurement of naturally occurring electrical potentials between two points on the surface of the earth. It is a passive method which does not involve the introduction of sound waves, electrical currents or other intrusive mechanisms. The equipment needed for a self potential survey is relatively simple and consists of a long length of single stranded insulated wire, two non- polarized electrodes in a supersaturated solution of its own salt and a high impedance volt meter. When conducting a geophysical survey, Tenorex uses two non-polarized Stelth brand reference electrodes in a supersaturated solution of its own salt on each end of an A model of the origin of an SP anomaly for an ore body insulated copper wire with an in-line attached Tinkor & Rasor CPV-4 digital voltmeter. The electrodes are placed on the ground at a known distance from one another and values of millivolts are recorded in a field book by the operator. The value recorded represents the conductivity of the ground directly below the forward mobile electrode in relationship to the fixed electrode. The values do not indicate the amount of gold, silver or other economic element that 1 http://www.geophysics.co.uk/mets2.html 2 http://www.heritage.nf.ca/environment/mine/ch7p3.html - 13 - could be found in the ground nor does it detect depth of an anomaly; but, this method does detect conductive metals and elements such as pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, covellite and graphite. This method, with some operator experience, can give an indication on where to better locate possibly economic deposits related to the sulphide mineralization by mapping out the values of millivolts and qualitatively analyzing the final data in both plan and section. It has been found by the author to be an invaluable tool in outlining signatures which represent sulphide rich and economically important vein deposits, replacement type gold deposits, fault structures and their displacement, geologic contacts, stratigraphic markers and underground workings. METHODOLOGY AND THEORY There are two different ways of setting up the equipment in the field to gather the field data: the roving pot or the leap frog method. Each has their advantages and disadvantages, but the end result is the same. The roving pot method involves leaving the negative pot at a stationary point while the positive pot is moved forward along the grid at points where readings are to be recorded until the length of wire on the reel is at its maximum or the area of interest is covered. As long distances are typically traversed during the author’s surveys, this arrangement is found to be the best suited. The leap frog method, on the other hand, uses a fixed short length of wire between the negative and the positive pot. At the start of each line, the positive pot is the forward pot; however, in order to move along the line after the initial reading, the negative pot is ‘leap-frogged’ past the positive pot to the next station. A reading is taken but because the negative pot is now the forward pot, the sign of the reading taken with the voltmeter must be reversed, as such with every time the negative pot is the forward pot. The leap frog method can be used with just one person. It has been found by the author to be a very tedious and time consuming method as much time is spent walking back and forth to move the pots and calculations are slightly more involved than the roving pot method. However, it is also a method which could be employed to help minimize the effects of telluric activity on the survey when a magnetic storm is in progress. When planning a self potential survey, one should conduct an initial field inspection to determine the placement of the base station and orientation of the grid on which the survey will take place. In most cases, a grid has already - 14 - been established by previous exploration programs. The preferable placement of the base station and the grid’s base line is in barren ground, or ground which is not expected to be anomalous. It should also be traversed to be sure any control stations are not in marshy or rocky areas. The orientation of the grid is best suited to be perpendicular to the strike of the country rock or perpendicular to the general expected trend of the potential anomaly. Control stations are established where each cut line crossed the baseline. The measurements taken at each control station are subsequently corrected to represent a value relative to the original base station which is given an arbitrary value of zero millivolts. During the survey, the base electrode is firmly seated within the B-horizon of the soil at the base station location. The traveling electrode, which is connected to the positive voltmeter input, is placed in a hole dug down to the B-horizon of each sample site. Holes are consistently dug to a depth where the pots can be placed in the B-horizon, but it sometimes necessary to skip a station due to subcropping or outcropping of the country rock. CONSIDERATIONS IN QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS Geology The self potential method is most commonly used in mineral exploration to outline sulphide bodies which contain pyrite, pyrrhotite and/or chalcopyrite. The equipment responds to good conducting sulphides, both oxidized and unoxidized bodies, graphite and nonconducting, disseminated sulphides if these sulphides are oxidizing. Another feature of the self potential method is its ability to differentiate between anomalies caused by sulphides and anomalies caused by graphite. Sulphides produce a range of up to 350mV between the most positive and the most negative self potential readings (Burr, 1982); while graphitic zones have a larger range between its most positive and its most negative values. The self potential method was also found by the author to be useful in highlighting geologic contacts and fault zones and has proven to be of benefit to exploration programs where rock exposure is minimal. Ground Conditions It is very important to note features encountered in the field that may affect the interpretation of the final self potential data. This may be ground disturbances, possible underground workings, presence of oxidizing metal - 15 - objects, known subcropping or outcropping of rocks, a high water table, known hydrocarbon contamination – anything notable that may affect the interpretation of the final data as each feature could affect self potential readings recorded while in the field. Ground disturbances made by man may skew reading either to the positive or to the negative depending on the type of disturbance. The varying depth of subcrop below surface is also important to consider. A graphitic unit, for example, located 20 feet below overburden will have a stronger negative self-potential reading than that of the same unit found at a depth of 200 feet. The clay content in overburden also affects self potential readings: it will mask an otherwise anomalous area. Also, any area encountered in the field with significant water content should be noted as it will invariably cause reading to be more positive than if the water was not present. It is also important to consistently remove the moss from the ground at each station in order to take a reliable measurement. Moss and rotting debris found in the varying thickness of the A-horizon also has a tendency to hold some amount of water also varying from one place to another and, of course, does not hold conductive properties. In 2000, the author conducted a trail survey to determine the importance of removing moss from each station and it was found that self potential values were skewed up to +30mV than if the moss were removed. It was also discovered that on a second run of the same stations on the moss, the values were not the same. In conclusion, solid contact with the B-horizon must be insured at each station and ground conditions should be noted to make for the most reliable measurements and further interpretation. Telluric Currents Geomagnetic storms, induced by activity originating from the sun, greatly diminish the reliability of self potential readings. It is, however, very easy to detect when such a storm is taking place while conducting a self potential survey. It was observed in the field that if self potential readings are taken while a significant geomagnetic storm was active, readings will fluctuate sporadically with no commonly recurring value. It has been observed by the author that readings can randomly ‘jump’ around up to a range of plus or minus 40 millivolts at any given point during an active storm. Reliable measurements are next to impossible to obtain during such solar activity. To better help the progress of a planned or in progress survey the author has developed a system to keep track of real time solar activity in an effort to keep productivity up and control the quality of the survey. - 16 - The following practice was made by the author everyday of each survey conducted and has been practiced by the author for several years. Each day before leaving for the field and upon return, real time solar activity data was observed at www.spaceweather.com. The solar wind data, velocity and proton density, presented on spaceweather.com is updated every 10 minutes and was very useful during the geophysical program. The solar wind data is derived from real-time information transmitted to Earth from the ACE spacecraft and reported by the NOAA Space Environment Center. The ACE spacecraft is located at a point between the earth and the sun which enables it to give about a one hour advance warning of impending geomagnetic activity. 3 During a large geophysical survey conducted in 2001 by the author, it was discovered that there is in fact a direct correlation between the sporadic self potential values and the density of protons per cubic centimeter. A pattern had been established and the density of protons per cubic centimeter is carefully observed before and after each self potential survey, and when possible during a survey as well. It was revealed that if there were more than the mid-teens of protons/cm*3, a self-potential survey would be unreliable and put on hold until the density of protons bombarding the Earth’s atmosphere subsided. If readings were found to be sporadic while in the field, after checking all wire contacts, ground contacts, and checking the pots for any cracks, communication was made with base camp, if possible, to confirm if there was any significant solar activity. If so, the geophysical gear was packed up and the field crew returned to base camp until such time where the solar activity subsided. This was usually the next day, however, it is possible to have to wait several days. In this case, where time is a factor, the leap-frog method of gathering self potential data could be used. When returning to the field after such solar activity has settled, all the values for the line worked on the previous field day were rechecked, corrected or redone, if necessary, to confirm the accuracy of the data before work on subsequent lines commenced. Topographic Effect Topographic highs and lows must be considered when interpreting the self potential data. Topographic lows or flat lying areas may have a high water table and even be marshy. Such areas tend to produce strong positive values. If an anomalous zone should occur here it may not be as apparent. In contrast, a topographic high or a very low water table tends to produce strong negative values. It is, however, possible to dampen the effects of topography on self potential readings. The two prepared pots must be placed in two separate 3 http://www.spaceweather.com - 17 - canvas bags filled with damp loam or sawdust. Both pots are then in contact with medium of constant pH and the influence of varying acidity is strongly attenuated. As a result, readings become more uniform, the background displays a narrower range, anomalies in swamps are better defined and anomalies on hills are less negative and less exaggerated (Burr, 1982). Although this method of dampening the effects of topography is not generally practiced by Tenorex, the topographic highs, lows and marshy areas were carefully considered in the final interpretation of the self potential data. Radio Transmissions Use of hand held radios for communication between the field crew is very important while conducting a self potential survey using the long wire method; however, it can also impede the survey or corrupt the raw data gathered in the field. Self potential readings must not be taken while transmitting over a hand held radio. The radio transmission interferes with the multimeter and skews the values. The person taking the readings can, however, receive a transmission without skewing the data; but it is very important for this person not to transmit while transcribing the readings. ANALYSIS OF DATA After careful calculations of the raw field, the end result of a self potential survey is a detailed set of notes, profiles and a plan map of data. A qualitative analysis can be made with both the profiles and the plan map. In analyzing self potential data in mineral exploration the following may be observed: The most negative values may lie directly over a sulphide or graphite mass. Graphitic rock units can mask a sulphide anomaly. Clay rich pockets of overburden can mask any conductive anomaly. The shape or strike of the anomaly represents the shape or strike of the structure. Sharp offsets of the structure usually indicate faulting The profile of the self potential signature can help indicate attitude of the structure: the steep slope should be on the down-dip side. Contrasts in plan can also represent geologic boundaries or contacts, therefore, making a distinction between geologic units. Underground workings may show in plan and profile; and, metal objects in the ground, including drill casings and lost strings of rods, may show as anomalous. - 18 - Conclusions and Recommendations The West LeBourdais reconnaissance exploration targeted an area where previous reconnaissance work highlighted a northwest trending magnetic signature with spotty gold and copper in soils on widely spaced lines. The purpose of the 2011 work was to determine if a correlation could be made between anomalous soils and self potential geophysical survey data, to compare these results with older adjacent geochemical and geophysical surveys and to determine if the bedrock in roadcuts on trend to the northwest show any obvious mineralization. Although the majority of field work occurred on one 1000m long line, some correlations and anomalous results were highlighted, and, as a result, plans are in place to expand exploration here as further recommended. The appendix of this report shows the results of the soil assays. In conclusion, anomalous values of gold and copper were highlighted near 175N, 600N and 700N of the line. The highest gold value was 26ppb at 175N and copper was 160ppm at 175N with another nearby sample of 156ppm at 250N. Spotty platinum values were located on the line, with values up to 21ppb, also at 175N. These highlighted samples appear to correspond to previous nearby sampling from 1996 surveys outlined in ARIS #15054. The values don’t appear to be continuous over a large zone on the sampled line and may be transported, but perhaps when technical work is continued and additional georeferenced data is added, more will become evident. Also worth noting, the copper values are similar to the values outlined in ARIS #6730 where all copper in soils greater than 100ppm were considered anomalous and very clearly outlined what would later be classified as an ore body at the present day QR Mine. The self potential findings were in inconclusive and provided little evidence of significantly conductive zones along Line 1. It was noted, however, a trend line added to the profile of the geophysical data helped to highlight the same regions of the survey line where anomalous soils occurred. The generally undulating SP profile may, in part, represent varying depth to the glacially scoured, drift covered bedrock, and/or is affected by a streaming potential. Typically, increasing topography correlates to an increasing negative self potential, but in the case of this survey line, the SP is most negative near the lowest elevation along the survey. This could indicate an anomalous zone especially as copper and gold values are also slightly anomalous here. A larger - 19 - survey is required before a more definitive interpretation can be made. Continued technical work on this grid is planned. The source of the magnetic anomaly noted by the field crew and in previous reports is likely that of the volcanic rocks mapped and sampled at the 15m exposure along the roadcut to the northwest. It was also noted by the field crew that Line 1 through Line 3 likely crossed a magnetic anomaly as their compasses were of little use on the portions of lines located on the north side of the road. Minor sulphides were noted in bedrock this season but additional work is required. Continued exploration is recommended at this portion of the QR claim group as follows: Continue a UTM based–GPS supported geochemical survey across the entire claim group. Consider MMI sampling Complete the geophysical survey across at least the remaining two lines Map all bedrock and sample as required at the West LeBourdais area with specific followup on the geochemical and geophysical anomaly highlighted in ARIS #15054 at the southwest corner of present day mineral tenure 854573 and centered near 578400E, 5841200N (UTM Nad83). Continue strategic acquisitions to create one contiguous claim group Conduct detailed geological mapping and sampling program across the entire claim group, especially in areas with recently harvested timber. Many new roads have cut through previously underexplored areas, exposing new subcrops and providing better access to weather resistant bluffs and ridges of rock. Compile a single database of georeferenced historical soil and geochemical data from previous assessment reports to help define target areas and guide future exploration activities - 20 - References In addition to the assessment reports outlined under the History section of this report, the author also referred to the following reports: Brown, A.S and Ash, C.H.

Revision 02.03 | Feb 22, 2012 www.alsglobal.com Sample Preparation Package PREP- 41 Standard Preparation: Dry sample and dry- sieve to –180 micron Sample preparation is the most critical step in the entire laboratory operation. The purpose of preparation is to produce a homogeneous analytical sub-sample that is fully representative of the material submitted to the laboratory. An entire sample is dried and then dry-sieved using a 180 micron (Tyler 80 mesh) screen. The plus fraction is retained unless disposal is requested. This method is appropriate for soil or sediment samples up to 1 kg in weight. Method Code Description LOG-22 Sample is logged in tracking system and a bar code label is attached. Low temperature drying of excessively wet samples where the oven temperature is not to DRY-22 exceed 60°C. This method is suitable for more soil and sediment samples that are analyzed for volatile elements. SCR-41 Sample is dry-sieved to – 180 micron and both the plus and minus fractions are retained.

Ultra high concentration samples (> 15 -20%) may require the use of methods such as titrimetric and gravimetric analysis, in order to achieve maximum accuracy. A prepared sample is digested in 75% aqua regia for 120 minutes. After cooling, the resulting solution is diluted to volume (100 mL) with de-ionized water, mixed and then analyzed by inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry or by atomic absorption spectrometry. *NOTE: ICP-AES is the default finish technique for ME-OG46. However, under some conditions and at the discretion of the laboratory an AA finish may be substituted. The certificate will clearly reflect which instrument finish was used.
