1 .O Introduction
This report describes prospecting work performed on the Cenote mineral claim group. Several EM Conductors underlie the claims. Hudson Bay Exploration and
Development Company Limited originally discovered the anomalies during an airborne geophysical survey of the Babine Lake area in 1996.
2.0 Summary
During the period May 25 to 26,2005 the Cenote claim group was traversed and
9.8 line-kilometres of conventional prospecting was completed. No outcrop was encountered on the claims however there are abundant locally derived boulders in the overburden. One rock sample was taken from a representative boulder and submitted for whole rock analysis. Since there are no bedrock exposures in the vicinity of the EM conductors their nature remains unknown.
3.0 Location and Access
The Cenote claims are located 18 kilometres north of Perow British Columbia at
54” 41’ 00” north latitude and 126” 27” 00” west longitude (see figure la). Access is by motor vehicle. Proceed from Houston B.C. east on Highway 16 to Perow and travel on a series of well-maintained forest service roads to the decommissioned Betty Lake F.S.R.
(see figure 2a). The distance is approximately 40 km. The Betty Lake F.S.R provides *. . .

access to the eastern portion of the Cenote claims near the main EM anomaly at the 2.0
km mark.
3.1 Physiography ,Vegetation and Climate
The claims are located on gently rolling topograply typical of the Nechako
plateau with elevations of approximately 800 meters. A creek that flows fiom Findlay
Lake in a southeast to northwest direction bisects the eastern third of the claim group.
Near drainages are numerous swamp and peat bogs. In other areas a blanket of re-
sedimented glacial fluvial material and moraine conceal the bedrock. Vegetation over
much of the property consists of stands of pine, spruce and balsam while grass, alder and
dwarf pine dominate the lower wetter portions. Winters are moderate to cold with typical
snow accumulations of about one meter and the area is generally fiee fiom snow between
mid May and October.
3.2 Ownership
The Cenote property is 100% owned and operated by S.Bell of Houston B.C. The
original property consisted of eight legacy claims (See Figure 3a) that have been
converted to a single mineral tenure under the new MTO system. The tenure number of the current Cenote claim is 5 13921. , \ I

3.3 History of Work
In 1996 Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited over flew the Babine Lake Area with their proprietary spectrum EM platform. The survey identified an area of interest northwest of Findlay Lake. A program of line cutting and ground based
EWmagnetic surveys (15.0 km) was carried out in 1997, which defined three EM conductors. In 2005 S.Bell made an initial property examination and prospected the terrain in the vicinity of the EM conductors. 4
4.0 Regional and Property Geology
The Cenote claims lie within the Stikina terrain, which is composed of late
Triassic to Eocene age volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Within this sequence the Jurassic
Hazelton group, which has been widely exposed by uplift and erosion provides a geologic setting favourable to mineral exploration, The mainly subaerial Telkwa formation, the lowest unit of this group is host to structurally controlled precious metals and volcanogenetic massive sulphide prospects occur in the overlying oceanic sedimentary rocks. Cretaceous to Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Kasalka, Ootsa Lake and Endako groups are not as prospective however important porphyry style mineralization is related to the emplacement of intrusions within the Jurassic/Cretaceous pile. The capping Eocene
Newman formation volcanic rocks are largely barren.
A major northwest trending topographic lineament transects the eastern portion of the claim. This feature is interpreted as a fault on Minfile Map NTS 093L Smithers. The bedrock type underlying the property is unknown however numerous locally derived boulders in the overburden suggest that it is basalt west of the fault and andesitic volcanic breccia east of the fault. A previous EM survey identified two anomalous trends and he
EM conductors. The main conductor is sub parallel to the major topographic lineament and is 60Om long and up to 35m wide and is open to the southeast. In the western portion of the property there are two narrow EM conductors whose trends are just west of north south. One is 800m long and the other is 60Om long and remains open to the south. 5
5 .O Prospecting Report
Conventional prospecting techniques were used to explore three EM conductors previously identified by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Limited. The conductors lie within a 200ha area defined by the boundaries of the original eight-unit legacy Cenote claim group. The investigation proceeded by making a series of traverses bearing 8Oo/26O0across the prospective terrain such that the trace of each of the three identified EM conductors would be crossed at separate locations (see figure 4a). The actual total distance of the traverses exceeded the 9.8 line kilometres indicated since numerous short reconnaissance traverses were made along the way where the topography suggested outcrop could be near. Unfortunately no outcrop was encountered in the vicinity of the EM conductors. Numerous locally derived boulders of the same rock unit however suggest that the underlying bedrock is a volcanic rock of basaltic composition.
A representative sample CEN-1 was collected and sent to USChemex in Vancouver for whole rock analysis. The analytical results tabulated below report the sample composition in terms of percent oxides present.

Percent Na20 plus K20 relative to Percent Si02 confirms that the sample may be classified as basalt. The variety of basalt is a continental tholeiite with CaNa/K ratios greater than one and Ti02 approximately equal to one. In hand specimen individual mineral grains can be distinguished with the aid of a hand lens and the texture is subhedral granular. Crystal faces on broken surfaces appear fiesh and shiny exhibiting little alteration. Colour is dark grey with weathered surfaces a lighter reddish grey. The specimen is magnetic and the fine grain size suggests that the bedrock may be part of a thick flow, dyke or sill. The age of this rock unit is not known however it may be related to Eocene volcanism. The basaltic boulders are only found in overburden west of a northeast flowing creek that flows through the eastern half of the property. This creek follows the trace of an interpreted fault. East of the creek greenish grey andesitic breccia is the most common type of float rock found in the overburden. These volcaniclastic rocks are ascribed to the lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation. It is believed that Eocene age? basalt underlies the property west of the creeWfault and is in fault contact with
Jurassic age volcaniclastics to the east.
5.1 DiscussiodRecommendations
The EM anomalies are west of the creeufault and may be hosted by Eocene age volcanic rocks. Unfortunately economic mineralization has yet to be discovered locally in this formation. Important copper porphyry deposits near Babine Lake are related to
Eocene intrusive rocks so the possibility however of a new deposit type hosted by Eocene age volcanic rocks cannot be ruled out. The main EM conductor trends in a northwest- 7 southeast direction and may be a splay of the larger creewfault. At least one Cretaceous age intrusion lies on the trace of the creeldfault northwest of the property. This suggests that the creeWfault may be a deep-seated zone of weakness that was active prior to the period of Eocene volcanism. It is possible that the main EM conductor is associated with sulphide mineralization hosted by older Jurassic age rocks that were subsequently covered by a veneer of Eocene age volcanic rocks.
It is recommended that a new grid be established and an EM survey conducted to further define the main anomaly in a southeast direction. Drill testing may be warranted. 8
