The program described herein was conducted between August 10th and 13th, 2011, and work was completed on tenure #852925. The work program consisted of inspecting the old workings on the Veritas claims, and collecting (and subsequently assaying) 4 “grab” rock samples from the so-called “Adit #2” on the Veritas occurrence. Approximately ½ a day was also spent visiting the Land Title Office in Kamloops, to confirm the reversion of certain crown grants on the property. The work resulted in the location of certain underground workings, referred to in the historical literature (and herein) as Adits 1 through 4. These adits were developed in the 1930s to explore, on multiple levels, a quartz vein exposed at surface. Rock geochemistry (gold assay) results were disappointing, with only sub-anomalous gold enrichment of between 5 and 30ppb Au from Adit 2.1 Sulfides were inferred from the high concentrations of sulfur (to 2.99%), iron (to >10%) and some anomalous copper (to 712ppm). The four adits were inspected and G.P.S. logged for orientation purposes. This should aid in future data compilation and program planning. The mine workings identified in the literature were observed, and portal locations were logged by G.P.S. 1 The adit numbering practice was previously utilized by Gruenwald in A.R. 6971, and by Cooke and Robins in A.R. 15209. 5 TENURE INFORMATION The VERITAS property consists of the following three mineral tenures. At the date of this report these tenures were owned and operated as to a 100% beneficial and registered interest by Christopher Delorme, and were not subject to any royalty, option or earn-in right, joint venture agreement or the like.2 Tenure # Tenure Name Area (ha) Good-to-date Owner (100%) 852925 Simone 81.63 May 1, 2013 Christopher Delorme 852931 Simone 2 61.22 May 1, 2013 Christopher Delorme 852932 Simone 3 224.50 May 1, 2013 Christopher Delorme The good-to-dates shown above are pending acceptance of this report. The property is partially underlain by three reverted crown grants, Lots 2355, 2356 and 2357 in the Lillooet Mining Division. These appear to have been reverted to the Crown by 1961, and as a result, it is the understanding of the author that: (1) the reverted crown grants hold no further mineral interest, and (2) all mineral interests within the boundaries of the Veritas property are secured by the above mineral tenures. The work program described herein was largely conducted within the borders of the former reverted crown grants. 2 A mineral property option granted by the author on the VERITAS property had expired prior to the effective date of this report with no interest earned. 6 Due to the reversion of these former lots, no further consideration has been given to those reverted crown grants in this report. However, the reader is cautioned that should those titles in fact remain valid, then the work program described herein may be invalid for assessment report purposes and the mineral rights effectively conveyed by the current tenures would be significantly reduced and diminished. The particulars of the forfeiture of the Veritas reverted crown grants are not known. A legal title opinion was not obtained. LOCATION The VERITAS property is located 4 kilometers west-south-west of the community of Gold Bridge, B.C., in the Lillooet Mining Division. As its name suggests, Gold Bridge has been a center of gold mining in B.C. for over 100 years to the present day, given its location approximately 10km north of the famous Bralorne mining camp. The Veritas property is centered on the small Lajoie Lake (also known as “Little Gun Lake”). The property is between Gun Lake on its northeast boundary and Downton Lake on its southwest boundary. Gun Lake, the smaller of the two, is a mountain lake used for recreation, and Downton Lake is a hydroelectric reservoir operated by B.C. Hydro. 7 The Veritas prospect (MINFILE record #092JNE031) is recorded at 505965E x 5632221N, elevation 1,000m above sea level, within the central portion of tenure #852925. The Bridge River gold camp was the largest producer in Western Canada, with successful exploration and some production continuing to the present day. According to MINFILE, major producers in the district included: Gold Average Tonnes Recovered grade Mine Minfile # Mined (grams) (g/t) BRALORNE 092JNE001 4,981,419 87,643,244 17.6 PIONEER 092JNE004 2,314,459 41,525,831 17.9 MINTO MINE 092JNE075 80,650 546,106 6.8 CORONATION 092JNE007 11,155 219,399 19.7 WAYSIDE 092JNE030 39,109 166,122 4.3 7,426,792 130,100,702 17.5 The exploration model at the Veritas property has historically been for quartz-vein hosted lode gold associated with the Bridge River intrusives within a volcanic and sedimentary sequence. This is the productive deposit type in the district. Spotty gold enrichment has reportedly been encountered in the quartz veins exposed at surface and underground at the Veritas property, though ore has never developed from these quartz veins, nor were economically compelling interceptions obtained. However, the author acquired the property to facilitate exploration for vein extensions at depth and along strike, in the hopes that if extensions to the quartz vein are located, these shoots might prove gold-bearing.
