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. 2 F RA SE R Upper CNR Fraser McGregor To rp hy R RI iv V er ER r ive R on wr Bo W il lo w R iv e r Purden Lake HW Y 16 PRINCE H GEORGE u n g a r y C r e e k Figure 1 Location & Access ACCESS: From Prince George, travel E on Hwy 16 13.7km to Giscome turnoff, turn N 15.2km, at Willow River connect with Upper Fraser Road, turn E 69.5km to claim block ALTERNATE ACCESS: From Prince George, travel E on Hwy 16 65.1km (first FSR E of Purden Lake), turn N 23.7km to Hansard, turn E 2.7km to connect to Upper Fraser Road, turn Mapsheets 093H/13 Scale 1:250000 E 24.3km to claim block 093H/14 093I/04 NOTE: Access to drill area via helicopter only 093I/03 Torphy River FRASER Mapsheets 093H.092 093H.093 093H.094 093I.002 093I.003 RIVER Figure 2 Tenure Detail & Topography Scale 1:140000 Figure 3 Known Occurrences Taken from Lane, B., MacDonald, K., McGrath, B., Robinson, N. and Simandl, G.

Longworth claims are at location 093H 038 5 PREVIOUS WORK The following summary from Government of British Columbia MINFILE Report No 093H 038, (1989) provides an excellent overview of previous work: Table 1: Minfile 093H 038 Summary Name LONGWORTH, NONDA QUARTZITE, SNOW, RAIN, Mining Cariboo LONG, DOLL Division BCGS Map 093H093 Status Prospect NTS Map 093H14W Latitude 53º 58' 48" N UTM 10 (NAD 83) Longitude 121º 29' 30" W Northing 5982350 Easting 598914 Commodities Silica Deposit R07 : Silica sandstone Types Tectonic Belt Foreland Terrane Ancestral North America 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
