A. HUBACHECK CONSULTANTS LTD. l l SUMMARY l Sudbury Contact Mines Ltd., is involved in the exploration of a property area referred to as the Wendigo Area. This area contains two claim groups "The Wendigo ©A© Group" and l "The Wendigo ©B 1 Group" consisting of 274 claims totalling 11,840 acres in Skead, Rattray and Mulligan Townships in the Larder Lake Mining District of Ontario. After flying a Questor Airborne Magnetic and l Electromagnetic Survey (Boniwell, J; 1991 and Pearson, M; 1990) in 1990 and early 1991. A follow-up reconnaissance geological mapping campaign was commenced in June, 1991. Due to the paucity of l outcrop over the areas with the most promising airborne electromagnetic expressions, a stream sediment survey was launched to detail the results found in the GSC Reconnaissance Stream l Sediment Survey (GSC Open File 2640) which indicated anomalous gold, base metals, and arsenic values in the Wendigo Lake-Larder River System and Skeleton Creek Area. The reconnaissance geological mapping did not uncover any l conductive anomalies, however, the stream sediment survey did produce anomalies over areas of interest located in the 1990-91 Airborne Survey. l The areas which showed coincident airborne geophysical conductors and magnetic features together with stream sediment anomalies were selected for griding with 200m spaced lines and l ground magnetic and EM follow-up. The report summarizes the reconnaissance geological mapping and stream sediment sampling and the recommendations for l further work. INTRODUCTION l During the spring of 1989, 144 claims were staked in Mulligan and Rattray Townships, stimulated by reconnaissance stream sediment data (GSC open file 2640) indicating anomalous gold, base l metal, and arsenic values in the Wendigo Lake-Larder River System as well as the Skeleton Creek drainage basin. The project area covers the northern part of the Cobalt Embayment straddling the Skead Volcanic Complex and the Pontiac l Group from the Kirkland-Larder Break to the Nipissing diabase in the south (Jensen and Langford, 1985, Figure 1). Recently released gravity data(Keating, P.; 1989) suggest that north/south trending l faults may separate these two domains which are overlain by Proterozoic sediments. Gravity and mag. data also indicates that the Nipissing intrusive contact on the southern claim boundary may be terminated by an east/west structural feature. l In August 1990, an Airborne Magnetic and Electromagnetic Questor Survey was flown with additional flying in January of 1991, with a total coverage of 1400 line km. The survey outlined Archean l basement structures and conductive zones covered by Huronian sediments . l Based on the results of the Airborne Survey, the Wendigo l W. A. HUBACHECK CONSULTANTS LTD.

PROPERTY AND PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION l a) WENDIGO "A" PROPERTY The property consists of 247 claims totalling 10,760 l acres in Rattray and Mulligan Townships (Figure 2a) in the Larder Lake Mining District and are numbered as follows: 1090168-1090178, 1090180-1090192, 1090219-1090251, 1090253-]090276, 1090278-1090285, 1090298-1090321, 1088460-1088464, 1086250-1086259, l 1167881-1167892, 1167943-1167957, 1168108-1168137, 1168138-1168157, 1168168-1168191, 1168228-1168243, 1168258-1168281, 1168244-1168251, l 1185658-1185660. b) WENDIGO "B" PROPERTY l The property consists of 27 claims totalling 1,080 acres in Skead Township (Figure 2b) in the Larder Lake Mining Division and are numbered as follows: l 1167881-1167892, 1167943-1167957. LOCATION AND ACCESS l a) WENDIGO "A" PROPERTY The claim group lies in Mulligan and Rattray Townships. l The southern half of the property is approximately 25km east of Englehart, Ontario, and can be accessed via Highways 11 and 569 and a forest access road. The northern half of the property which is bounded by the l Quebec Border to the east is accessible via a logging road which joins Highway 66 at the Quebec/Ontario Border about 3.5km east of Kearns, Ontario. The property is approximately 23km south of the l above junction (Figure 3). l b) WENDIGO "B" PROPERTY The claims of this group are situated on the east central portion of Skead Township on the west edge of the Larder River Provincial Park. It can be accessed from Highway 624, l approximately 9km south of Larder Lake, Ontario. It intersects a logging road leading to the NW corner of the grid, located l approximately 10km to the south-east of the Highway 624/logging l W. A.
