1 INTRODUCTION
Childs and Associates were engaged to evaluate drill core obtained from the Longworth quartzite (silica) deposit, Tenure Number 559360, approximately 80 kilometers east of Prince George, British Columbia.
The work was conducted in May, 2008. Access to the drill site was by helicopter. Significant snowpack covered the area.
One core hole was drilled to a depth of 100.6 meters (330’). Approximately 96 meters of core were recovered (315’), described and assayed.
Regional and local geology were not investigated in the field as part of this project. Previous work by others is summarized, but its accuracy is not warranted by Duncan or Childs.
The property is covered by the following topographic maps: 093H.092, 093H.093, 093H.094, 093I.002, and 093I.003. The property is within the Prince George-Omineca mining division. The project operator is Card JM Resources Inc. and the owner of the property is Mr. Milton Braaten. The work reported here was conducted on Tenure Number 559360. The report is submitted with reference to Assessment Recording Events 4217805 and 4218003.
LOCATION
The original filing cited the wrong Tenure Number for the work performed (Tenure 559342). The drill hole was actually located on Tenure 559360.
Coordinates for the drill hole are:
NAD83, Zone 10N, Northing 5978973, Easting 603010.
Large-scale and small-scale maps showing the drill hole location and location of the Tenures are included below.

Capsule Geology The Longworth prospect is located about 80 kilometres east of Prince George. The claims were staked originally in 1974 and blasting, trenching and sampling has been completed on the property
The prospect is hosted by a folded sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks which underlie Bearspaw Ridge. They are all, or in part, Lower Silurian in age and equivalent to the Nonda Formation.
At least four northwest trending bands of quartzite have been mapped along the western flank of Bearpaw Ridge. Thicknesses reach up to about 400 metres. The main quartzite band outlines a synformal structure open to the northwest. Rare bedding observed in outcrop dips 70 to 80 degrees east. The quartzite is very pure, massive and homogeneous. It is composed of extremely well-rounded and well- sorted quartz grains, averaging 0.5 millimetre in diameter, which are cemented by silica. The quartzite is pinkish white to buff on fresh surfaces and weathers grey to white. Impurities include muscovite in cavities, limonite on microfractures, minor calcite and possible hydrocarbons. Eight chip samples collected in 1982 by the
6 Geological Survey Branch averaged 99.5 per cent silica (Open File 1987-15).
Consolidated Silver Standard Mines Ltd. evaluated the property in 1985 for the production of ferrosilicon and silicon metal. They took 42 samples of which 28 had the required chemical specifications, SiO2 was from 98.84 to 99.80 per cent and 16 samples had acceptable thermal shock results (Open File 1987-15). Details of the 1985 work conducted by Consolidated Silver Standard Mines Ltd. may be found in MINEFILE Assessment Report 14815, (1987)
GENERAL GEOLOGY
Outcrops of the Longworth quartzite deposit were not visited by the authors due to deep snow cover. We therefore depend on previously published reports summarized below.
Lane, et al (2004) describe the geology as ““A folded sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks… The quartzite is essentially correlative with the Lower Silurian equivalent to the Nonda Formation, and is fine-grained, massive and well-sorted.”
A 3-page summary of this deposit may be found within British Columbia Open File Report OF1987-15 (Foye, 1987). A copy of the relevant 3 pages is attached as Appendix 3. The quartzite is described as “very pure, massive and homogeneous. It is composed of extremely well rounded and well-sorted quartz grains averaging 0.5 millimeters in diameter which are cemented by silica.”
CORE The hole was drilled vertically to a depth of 100.5 meters (330 feet). The core drilling effort was successful in that excellent appearing quartzite was encountered. Core recovery was excellent. No significant visible impurities were noted. The core description is included as Appendix B.
Assay results from three composite samples confirm the high quality of the quartzite (see below). Analytical methods used in assaying are included as Appendix D. The very low iron content is particularly significant.

Bit wear was an issue and drilling was very slow. Other problems resulted in much slower drilling rates as well, in particular difficulty in maintaining a dependable supply of circulation water. The water source was 7000 meters away, downhill, and there was deep snow.
The drill section included below lacks the typical lithology breaks and intercepts because there were none noted.

Sample Decomposition: 50% Li2B4O7 – 50% LiBO2 (WEI-GRA06) Analytical Method: X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF)
A calcined or ignited sample (0.9 g) is added to 9.0g of Lithium Borate Flux (50 % - 50 % Li2B4O7 – LiBO2), mixed well and fused in an auto fluxer between 1050 - 1100°C. A flat molten glass disc is prepared from the resulting melt. This disc is then analysed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.

Sample Preparation Package – PREP-31 Standard Sample Preparation: Dry, Crush, Split and Pulverize
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. The sample is logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and finely crushed to better than 70 % passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of up to 250 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75 micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen. This method is appropriate for rock chip or drill samples.
Method Code Description Sample is logged in tracking system and a bar code label is LOG-22 attached. Fine crushing of rock chip and drill samples to better than 70 % of CRU-31 the sample passing 2 mm. SPL-21 Split sample using riffle splitter. A sample split of up to 250 g is pulverized to better than 85 % of PUL-31 the sample passing 75 microns.
