Introduction The Camilleri Melba Property (the Property) was aqulr�d for itl:i potential to host gold and copper mineralization of 1economic interest The' group of cl,aims is located in the northeast quadrant of Melba townsihip, approxill'}ately 15 km north of Kirkland Lake, District of Timiskaming, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario. Between November 14 and 20, 2018, 2 lines of Gradient Induced Polarization (IP) surveying totaling 8 km were completed. The survey was carried out by Dan Patrie Exploration Ltd, with C. Brent Patrie, an experienced geophysical contactor The following report presents a brief review of the regional and property geology as well as a summary of previous work in the area and a description of the work done and the results obtained. 2.

Regional and Property Geology Melba and Bisley townships are underlain by Archean-age metavolcanic rocks of the Blake River Group which extends from Timmins in the west to and beyond, Noranda, Quebec in the east in the form of a large synclinorium. The geological sequence is summarized in Table 2, Table of Lithologic Units. The Archean assemblage is a volcanic sequence with interbedded metasediments in the upper part. Intermediate metavolcanics are predominant, however, mafic metavolcanics occur in the upper part of the sequence while the lower part is mainly felsic metavolcanics. Regional alteration in general is of a very low grade. Late mafic intrusive rocks of Matachewan age occur in Melba township as part of a swarm of north-trending diabase dykes extending east from Benoit township Major faults in the area trend north to north-northwest (Ontario Geological Survey, Map 2252) Pleistocene deposits consist of sand, gravel and clay deposited on the Archean basement during the Wisconsin glacial retreat ( Jensen, 1972) - Figure 4 is a copy of the OGS airborne survey map of Melba township which shows very well the regional lithological trends. The Melba claims in the southeast part of the township lie in an area of Intermediate metavolcanic rocks while the claims along the Melba-Bernhardt township area cover an area of mafic metavolcanic units (OGS prel.

Previous Work in the Area At some time following the discovery of gold in the Kirkland Lake area in 1906 based on the presence of old pits in Melba township, however, the first recorded work dates from 1934. At this time in the northwestern quadrant of Melba township, north of the Black River gold mineralization was discovered followed by extensive surfacework, underground exploration and diamond drilling. The operation was shut down due to the onset of World War II in 1939. The next work was in 1959 by Pitchvein Mines Limited through to 1963 and consisted of stripping, dewatering of the shaft and workings, UG mapping and sampling and surface and UG diamond drilling. The Property was shut down in 1963. This property is currently represented by the patented claims in this area. A bulk sample taken from UG returned 0.210 oz gold per ton across a vein width of 4.5 ft. In 1962 chalcopyrite mineralization was discovered in the northeastern part of Melba township and over the next 3 years several pits were put down .. In 1965 Midrim Mining Company Limited optioned the property, carried out an airborne survey and drilled 7 holes for a total of 2932 ft.. The main vein is 1 foot wide and 500 ft long and contains small specks of chalcopyrite and gold. In the last 20 years or so the esker trending south through the central part of the property has been sampled and the property has been covered by airborne surveys as part of the OGS Discover Abitibi project. 6. Gradient IP Survey Program and Results Between November 14 and 20 inclusive, C. Brent Patrie, at the request of Mr. Camilleri carried out a Gradient IP Survey on the Camilleri Melba Property... The program consisted of line cutting and surveying along 2 north-south lines as shown in Figure 5. Two lines are in the northeastern part of Melba township immediately east of the block of patented claims in this area. These claims contain the 1 ft wide vein carrying gold and copper values. 6. Gradient IP Survey Program and Results Between November 14 and 20 inclusive, C. BreU11tPatrie, at the request of Mr. Camilleri carried out a Gradient IP Survey on the Cammeri Melba Property... The program consisted of line cuttingand surveying along 2. north-southlines as shown in Figure 5. Two iines are in the northeastern part of Melba towrnshipimmediately east of the block of patented claims nn this area. These claims contain the 1 ftwide vein carrying gold and copper values. The two surveyed lines, 71E and 72E are both 4 km long, trend north-south, are parallel (Figure 5) and were covered by a Gradient IP survey over a 3 day period, 14 - 16 November 2018. The Gradient IP approach is of a reconnaissance nature and was executed as follows. Starting on the 14 November 2018, two current electrodes connected by an electric cable were laid out in a north-south direction and centred on the area of interest. (Figure 4 ). The southern current electrode was put in place at UTM co-ordinates 571700mE, 5349000mN, 500 metres south of the proposed survey area. The generator and transmitter were alsb located at this site. The northern current electrode was placed at UTM co-ordinates, 571700mE, 5354000mN ; ie, 5000 m north of the south electrode and 500 m north of the north ends of the two survey lines. Following the emplacement of the current electrodes, Line 71E was surveyed starting approximately 400 metres west of the current electrode line at UTM co-ordinates 571300mE, 5349000mN ( L71 0+00 N) The survey line was previ9usly cut and GPS readings and IP readings were taken at 50 metre intervals, a = 50 metres. The first reading was taken starting at the south end of the line with consecutive readings at 50 metre intervals to the north end of the line for a total of 80 readings (4000 m). A similar approach was used for Line 72E. On 14 November 2 line-km were covered on Line 71E and on 15 November the northern 2 km were surveyed plus 1 line-km on Line· 72E.
