iv SUMMARY
Corsa Capital Ltd. (Corsa) retained the services of APEX Geoscience Ltd. (APEX) as an independent consultant during summer 2007 to review all available geological, geophysical and geochemical data for the Sy Property in order to prepare an independent evaluation of the gold and base metal potential of the property. This was followed by APEX performing a property visit and reconnaissance exploration program from August 29th to September 7th, 2007. The results of the evaluation and field exploration are reported herein as an independent Technical Report for the Sy Property consistent with the requirements as listed in National Instrument 43-101.
The Sy Property is located in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut. It is situated approximately 870 km east from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and 300 km southwest from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. The property comprises 44 mineral claims totalling 45,984.4 ha within the Yathkyed Lake Greenstone Belt. Corsa has the right to earn up to a 60% interest in all minerals, with the exception of diamonds, for the Sy Property. The Sy Property is considered an intermediate stage exploration project. There is no known precious or base metal mineral resource as defined by “CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” dated November 14th, 2004.
The geology of the Sy project area within the Yathkyed Lake Greenstone Belt is similar to other gold-bearing greenstones in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, including the Woodburn Lake Belt, which hosts the Meadowbank Gold Deposits and the Rankin Inlet Belt which hosts the Meliadine Gold Deposits. Each of these belts contains abundant gold-bearing banded-iron-formation host rocks which have undergone significant shearing and deformation. Although more than 40 gold occurrences have been identified on the Sy Property, the Sy iron formation and Greenstone Belt have seen only minor exploration compared to these other adjacent and comparable belts.
Limited historical exploration by Aberford Resources Ltd. and Homestake Ltd. (Homestake) during the mid 1980’s in this poorly exposed Archean greenstone belt resulted in the discovery of at least 20 individual high grade gold occurrences over a strike length of approximately 30 km. Known gold mineralization is hosted in sheared and altered iron formation. Approximately 3,000 m of diamond drilling was conducted by Homestake in 1986 and 1987, which confirmed gold mineralization in iron formation at depth but failed to yield what would be considered potentially economic grades over mineable widths at that time. Historical surface samples from outcrops of iron formation on the “SY-13 Grid” yielded assays as high as 38.8 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au). The historical 1986 and 1987 drilling yielded intercepts of up to 3.38 g/t Au over 3.5 m and 3.18 g/t Au over 7.0 m. Most if not all of the historic drilling was conducted beneath or in close proximity to known surface gold showings.
Bedrock outcrop exposure of potential host rocks for gold and base metals is extremely poor on the property and in the surrounding area. Based upon publicly available assessment reports and government geological reports there is no evidence of 2 any historic airborne geophysical surveys conducted along the belt and there appears to have been no significant exploration since 1987. Only a small portion of the belt has been evaluated for gold and base metals, due in large part to poor outcrop exposure.
During late 2006, Kaminak engaged Fugro Airborne Surveys (Fugro) to conduct a DIGHEM V helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) survey over a large portion of the Sy Property. The 1,178.3 line-kilometer survey yielded 690 EM anomalies that Fugro attributed to probable bedrock conductors, most of which were thought to be due to thin sources that are typical of massive sulphide responses. Many of the EM anomalies occur within or adjacent to magnetic units, likely iron formations, or in close proximity to their contacts, and are likely due to increases in amount of conductive sulphides. Fugro considered many of the EM anomalies in the survey area indicative of well-defined, moderate to strongly conductive bedrock zones that warrant follow-up exploration.
A brief field based exploration program was conducted over 10 days beginning August 29, 2007. A total of 102 rock grab samples were collected and assayed for gold and trace metals. A total of 13 samples yielded gold values greater that 1 g/t Au with five samples yielding greater then 5 g/t Au up to a high of 8.88 g/t Au. The purpose of the 2007 exploration program was to: (1) determine the effectiveness of the 2006 airborne survey in locating sulphide zones with gold and base metal potential; (2) confirm the location and presence of the historic gold showings; and (3) to assess the overall economic gold and base metal potential of the Sy Property.
The 2007 exploration program was successful in identifying and confirming the location and tenor of historic gold occurrences on the Sy Property. In addition, despite poor bedrock exposure, directed prospecting of EM anomalies and interpreted conductors during the 2007 program led to the discovery of sulphide zones associated with iron formations and metavolcanics. Sampling of some of these sulphide zones in iron formation and metavolcanics has led to the discovery of new gold and base metal showings and demonstrates the usefulness of directed field work based upon the airborne geophysics in order to unlock the potential for metal discoveries in the belt.
Based upon historical gold results, the targets generated by the 2006 airborne geophysical survey, and the 2007 exploration program, the Sy Property warrants additional exploration to determine the potential of the property to host economic gold and/or base metal deposits. A future exploration program should include detailed geological mapping, surface prospecting, rock and soil or frost boil geochemical sampling, along with ground magnetic and EM surveys. The goal of the Phase 1 program is to generate new drill targets to go along with the existing known drill targets. The estimated cost to conduct the Phase 1 program is $350,000 CDN. It is likely that a Phase 2 program with a certain amount of diamond drilling will be required to test some of the historic gold showings as well as new targets generated by the Phase 1 program. The recommended Phase 2 program and associated estimated cost will be contingent on the results from Phase 1. 3

PROPERTY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
On July 18, 2007 Corsa Capital Ltd. (Corsa) entered into an option agreement with Kaminak Gold Corporation (Kaminak) with respect to the 45,984.4 hectare (113,630 acres) Sy Property (Figure 1). Corsa has the right to initially earn a 51% non- diamond project (includes all minerals other than diamonds) interest by making exploration expenditures totalling $1.0 million CDN and staged share payments totalling 300,000 units to Kaminak by December 31, 2010 (Kaminak, 2007). Corsa has the right to increase its project interest to 60% by spending an additional $1.0 million CDN and issuing Kaminak an additional 100,000 share units prior to December 31, 2011. The option agreement calls for a minimum exploration expenditure during year 1 (December 31, 2007) of $100,000 CDN, which has been accomplished with the August - September exploration program performed by APEX Geoscience Ltd. (APEX). The Hunter Exploration Group (HEG) retains a 2% Net Smelter Royalty/Gross Overriding Royalty (NSR/GOR) on the Sy Property. The option agreement is subject to regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (Kaminak, 2007).
The Sy Property is located in the Kivalliq District of Nunavut (Figure 1). It is situated approximately 870 kilometres east from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and 300 kilometres southwest from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut (Figure 1). The property comprises 44 mineral claims totalling 45,984.4 hectare (113,630 acres). The block of claims is centred approximately on coordinates 6910000 north and 570000 east of zone 14 of the Universal Transverse Mercator Grid (North American Datum 1983) and within National Topographic System (NTS) Map areas 65J/1, 65I/4, 65I/5 and 65I/6 (Figure 2).
The 2007 compilation and exploration work that is the subject of this report was conducted on all 44 mineral claims which comprise the Sy Property. Five of the claims were staked by Mr. Dufresne during the 2007 field exploration program and are currently pending approval (YK-01 to YK-05). The other 39 mineral claims were staked by Mr. Adam Vary on behalf of the HEG and are held on behalf of Kaminak by an underlying agreement between Kaminak and the HEG. A full description of the minerals claims which are the subject of this report are presented in Table 1.
Mineral tenure guidelines for the Northwest Territories require expenditures of $2/acre/year dictating annual requirements for the Sy property of $227,260 CDN. After 10 years of meeting annual expenditure requirements a claim can be legally surveyed and brought to lease meaning the owners have no further annual exploration commitments merely a $0.10/acre annual rental fee.
There are no known mineral reserves or resources on the Sy Property; it remains an intermediate stage exploration property. At present the author does not know of any environmental liabilities associated with the property.
The Sy mineral claims are not situated on any Inuit Owned Land (IOL) parcels and therefore exploration work on them is not subject to approval by local Inuit Associations. Conducting exploration on the Sy mineral claims requires permission ± $ $

If a camp is established or drilling is to be conducted on the Sy mineral claims, a permit for water use will have to be obtained from the Nunavut Water Board (NWB).
ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY
The Sy property is isolated with no local infrastructure, nor resources. Access to the property is via float or wheel/ski equipped light aircraft from Rankin Inlet or Arviat. The closest community with fixed wing charter flights to the property is the hamlets of Rankin Inlet and Arviat, Nunavut. Rankin Inlet has commercial flights to and from Yellowknife three to five times a week depending upon winter or summer schedules. Arviat has commercial flights to and from Winnipeg three times a week. Yellowknife is serviced daily by commercial airline flights to major centres in the south and hosts a well developed infrastructure of mineral exploration related companies including fixed wing and helicopter charter companies and expediters.
During spring 2007, Corsa commissioned the use of a hunting camp on the north shore of South Henik Lake which was the main base for operations during the 2007 exploration program. The camp is opened on an as needed basis and can serviced by Twin Otter aircraft or helicopter from Rankin Inlet or Arviat, Nunavut and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
The climate is sub-arctic with temperatures ranging from -40o C in the winter to +25o C during portions of July and August. Elevation of the property ranges from 150 metres above sea level (asl) to 250 metres asl. Locally maximum relief ranges from 30 metres to 75 metres but is more commonly less then 20 metres. The area is dotted with lakes and swamps and lies north of the tree line so vegetation is limited. Glacial deposits in the area are extensive thus limiting rock exposure to less then a few percent of the area.
HISTORY
The earliest known exploration program was completed in the 1960s by Inco Limited (Inco). Inco completed regional airborne magnetics and electromagnetic (EM) geophysical surveys in and surrounding the current claim area. This lead to the discovery of the Ferguson Lake copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) resource, located only 60 km northeast of the property, which is now the largest base metal and platinum group element (PGE) project in Nunavut (Nicholson et al., 2007). The current Ferguson Lake property was explored and diamond drilled but the work completed was not filed for assessment credit, and because of this the results for any work conducted in the Sy project area are not known. During this time Noranda Aluminum Inc. (Noranda) conducted similar surveys near Angikuni Lake. 9
In 1967 a report was published by the Geological Survey of Canada of regional geological mapping completed by G. M. Wright. The report was published as Memoir 350, “Geology of the Southeastern Barren Grounds, Parts of the Districts of Mackenzie and Keewatin (Operations Keewatin, Baker, and Thelon)” (Wright, 1967).
In 1970 Angus G. MacKenzie Mining Consultants Ltd. was authorized by Columbian Northland Exploration Ltd. to complete a program that consisted of a field check of aeromagnetic anomalous areas, geological mapping and general prospecting (Mackenzie, 1970a,b). An air photo study of Imikula Lake area was completed to create a geological map of the area. The permit area was found to be located in an area that was structurally and lithologically favorable for pyrite, pyrrhotite and copper mineralization. Following this, a study of the aeromagnetic maps flown by the Canadian Government in 1967 was done. Five areas were found to be favorable for mineralization. Ground truthing was preformed and showings of pyrite, pyrrhotite and copper were confirmed. A ground magnetic survey was done with magnetometer readings taken at 152.4 metre intervals covering the areas. Two areas yielded very strong magnetic anomalies and two were found to yield weaker anomalies, all coinciding with the magnetic anomalies visible on the government aeromagnetic map. Three rock grab samples were taken from the anomalous areas and contained more than 50% magnetite. The results showed only weak concentrations of base metals. Some quartz veinlets from anomalous areas contained specks and streaks of chalcopyrite, galena and pyrrhotite. While exploring the area a radiometric survey was completed and no significant radioactivity was recorded.
In 1972 Angus G. MacKenzie Mining Consultants Ltd. completed a field check on magnetometer highs located in the previous season and a semi-detailed ground magnetometer survey over one of the principal anomalies (Mackenzie, 1972). A total of 13 samples were collected from an unknown trench length on a mineralized greenstone outcrop east of the main anomaly. Assays were run on the samples taken from the area trenched as representative samples of the mineralized material found in outcrop. Gold concentration were reported to be trace to 0.01 ounces per ton (oz/t), while copper was found at 0.01 to 0.04 percent (%) and nickel was reported as trace in all samples.
During 1981 Aberford Resources Ltd. (Aberford) conducted a six week reconnaissance program in the South Yathkyed and Angikuni Lakes area (Reid, 1984). The program included reconnaissance prospecting, mapping, and rock and frostboil sampling, resulting in the discovery of gold mineralization on the present Sy project area. A total of 20 rock chip and 25 frost boil samples were collected in their SY 1, SY 2 and SY 4 Claim areas. The best analysis was 3.36 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) in rock chip samples and 0.61 g/t Au in frost boils on what became the SY-4 Grid area during later programs (Reid, 1984).
In 1983, Aberford completed a five day field program at their SY-4 and SY-13 zones (Reid, 1984). The program involved prospecting and sampling to the southwest of the reconnaissance area. A total of 120 rock samples were collected with values as high as 7.10 g/t Au, 7.89 g/t Ag and 2.4% Zn obtained from the SY-4 discovery zone. 10
In 1984, Aberford completed a two month field program on their SY-1 and SY-2 claims and their SY Prospecting Permit 1012 (Reid, 1984). The program consisted of extensive mapping, sampling, ground magnetic and VLF geophysical surveys, trenching and channel sampling of previously discovered iron formations and sulphide horizons. A total of 376 rock grab, 657 geochemical soil/frost boil and 115 paned concentrate samples were collected from numerous outcrops of sulphide rich iron formations and gossans. The program resulted in the discovery and delineation of the three significant gold showings: the MacArthur, Jaeger Lake and 078 Boil sulphide zones which yielded assays in rocks samples of up to 7.56, 6.90 and 7.68 g/t Au (Reid, 1984). The MacArthur and 078 Boil showings are part of the SY-4 discovery grid area and the Jaeger Lake zone is part of the SY-13 discovery grid area. Reid (1984) strongly recommended follow-up exploration at all three areas along with a number of reconnaissance targets. Summary maps of the historic results for gold obtained from rock samples and frost boil and/or soil samples are summarized on Figures 3 and 4, respectively.
In 1985, Aberford completed an extensive exploration program to evaluate the virtually unexplored portion of the Kaminak/Henik volcanic belt lying directly to the north and east of the original SY-4 and SY-3 discovery areas (Reid et al., 1986). The following was completed: 1:20,000 scale mapping and sampling of their YL-1 and YL-2 claim blocks and their Prospecting Permits 1047, 1048, 1049, 1050, 1051, limited trenching of sulphide horizons and sulphide rich boils, ground magnetic and VLF geophysical survey on their MP001 zone and mini-grid geophysical evaluation of three other areas. A total of 329 rock samples and 150 panned concentrates were collected during the season (Reid et al., 1986). As of the end of the season a total of seven mineralized areas or zones had been identified. A total of 37 rock grab samples yielded greater than 1 g/t Au with the MacArthur zone yielding a maximum assay of 15.30 g/t Au and the Jaeger Lake East zone yielding a maximum assay of 9.90 g/t Au (Reid, 1986). Pan concentrates samples yielded 24 samples with greater than 1 g/t Au up to a maximum of 13.70 g/t Au obtained from the Jaeger Lake East gold zone (Reid, 1986).
In the spring of 1986 Homestake Mineral Development Corp. (Homestake) optioned the SY property from Aberford (Mudry et al., 1986). Through a participation agreement with Northair Mines Ltd., a three and a half month exploration program was conducted on the SY-4, SY-13, KR-10, MP-001, WAD grids and surrounding areas. The program consisted of extensive grid work, including geological mapping, rock sampling, lithogeochemistry, geophysics, humus geochemistry and a diamond drill program. Rock sample and frost boil/soil sample highlights are presented on Figures 3 and 4. A total of 790 rock grab, 31 soil and 23 pan concentrate samples were collected. The Highest grab samples in each area were as follows: SY-4 yielded up to 9 g/t Au, SY-13 up to 38.8 g/t Au, KR-10 up to 14.6 g/t Au, MP-001 up to 5.3 g/t Au and WAD up to 10.7 g/t Au. From all sample locations, 66 grab samples yielded greater that 1 g/t Au. In total, 12 diamond drill holes were completed, with a total length of 1,213.8 m, to test the depth extent of auriferous banded iron formations discovered at surface. The locations of the 1986 drill holes are presented on Figure 5. The Jaeger Lake East zone yielded up to 3.38 g/t Au over 3.5 m core length in drill hole 86-1 and up to 3.18 g/t Au over 7.0 m core length in hole 86-11 (Mudry et al., 1986). The gold results obtained from the other 10 drill holes were considered disappointing. 556000 560000 564000 568000 572000 576000

During 1986, the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) published paper 84-11, Pre- Cambrian Geology of the Tulemalu Lake-Yathkyed Lake Ares, District of Keewatin (Eade, 1986). The paper included a 1:250,000 geological map, which encompassed the entire current SY property.
In 1987, an exploration program was conducted through a participation agreement between Homestake and Equity Silver Mining Ltd. (Balog, 1987; Pacor, 1987). The program consisted of a 21 diamond drill hole program for a total of 2,099.4 m in three areas: the Jaeger East Zone, the WAD Discovery Zone and the WAD West Zone. Drill core samples were analyzed for gold, silver and arsenic. Drilling at the Jaegar East Zone yielded grades of up to 3.53 g/t Au over 6.20 m core length including a higher grade portion of 5.67 g/t Au over 3.0 m (Pacor, 1987). The grades obtained from most of the drill holes was considered disappointing and non-economic. The Wad Discovery Zone returned anomalous gold values over narrow widths, with the highest grade being 1.68 g/t Au over 3.25 m core length. The Wad West Zone samples all ran less than 2.0 g/t Au (Pacor, 1987).
The 1987 exploration also involved regional geological mapping and a surface reconnaissance sampling program (Balog, 1987). A total of 340 rock grab, soil and frost boil samples were collected. Gold values obtained from the surface sampling ranged up to 7.95 g/t Au with anything over 0.14 g/t considered anomalous. A total of 35 samples yielded anomalous gold values. The amount of silver in samples ranged from 0.69 to 274.3 g/t Ag with anything over 1.37 g/t considered anomalous. A total of 47 samples were found to be anomalous for silver. Arsenic (As) values ranged from 2.0 to 1000.0 parts per million (ppm) As and any samples over 150 ppm were considered to be anomalous. A total of 36 samples yielded As values greater than 150 ppm. Some of the anomalous samples were checked for copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). Values up to 1.0% Cu, 10.0% Pb and 5.20% Zn were obtained from some of the rock samples (Balog, 1987).
In 1991 Dr. Al Miller of the GSC discovered three red-bed copper occurrences on the property. They consisted of arkosic sandstone hosting copper between the uppermost Kazan and the lowermost Christopher Island formations, a thickness of 15 metres.
In 1992, Leeward Capital Corporation, in conjunction with Skeena Resources Ltd. and Connecticut Development Corp., developed the concept of diamond exploration 135 kilometres northwest of the current property in the Dubawnt Lake area (Aussant and Davis, 1993a,b; 1994). From this exploration a lamproitic diatreme pipe was discovered. During the late spring 1993, it was drill tested for diamonds. No micro-diamonds were recovered but mantle derived indicator minerals were found which may indicate that the region could host diamond deposits. 15
GEOLOGICAL SETTING
Regional Geology
The rocks in the area of Yathkyed Lake are part of the west-central portion of the Churchill Structural Province of the Canadian Shield. The oldest rocks consist of the Archean greenstone belt of the Kaminak sub-province, which extends for approximately 700 km from the Northwest Territories - Saskatchewan border to Hudson Bay. The greenstone belt is composed of the metasediments and metavolcanics of the Henik Group and the amphibolites, gneisses and migmatites derived from them. Intruding into the Henik Group rocks are late Archean gabbros, hornblende dykes and granitoids. Unconformably overlying the Henik Group rocks and associated intrusives are the early Proterozoic (Aphebian) Tulemalu diabase dykes and the arkoses, phyllites and quartzites of the Hurwitz Group. Atop the Hurwitz group rocks are trachyitic volcanics, volcaniclastics, sediments and syenitic dykes of the early to middle Proterozoic (late Aphebian to early Helikian) Dubawnt Group (Eade, 1986 and Mudry et al.1986).
Major faulting in the area is divided into four general directions: northeast, east northwest and north. The northeast trending faults encompass the Tulemalu Fault system, which is a major regional break that can be traced from the northern Saskatchewan border to Baker Lake and parallels the Snowbird Tectonic Zone, a major crustal break. In the Tyulemalu Lake area, a subsidiary parallel fault to the west changes direction and joins the Tulemalu fault, forming a grabben structure. A second major zone of northeast faulting runs from the southwest Kogmak River area to the northeast into the Ferguson Lake area, forming another grabben structure, which preserves the overlying Hurwitz Group rocks. These faults also form the south-eastern boundary of the Henik Group and late Archean intrusives. The northeast trending faults are thought to be middle to late Archean, preceding late Archean metamorphism, and potential reactivation may have occurred in the late Aphebian. Regionally the east trending faults are the most dominant. These faults dip near vertical or steeply to the south and where evidenced, the south side of the faults tend to be down, indicating normal faulting. The east trending faults are thought to be late Archean to early Aphebian. The northwest trending faults are near vertical, with some evidence of southwest side down and right lateral movement, but are not laterally continuous for very far. Northwest of Yathkyed Lake the northeast faults again are laterally discontinuous but, in this area they have a prominent left lateral movement and displace the Dubawnt Group from the bedrock. Both sets of the northeast faults appear to be conjugate faults with the east trending faults. The north trending faults are not frequent, are laterally discontinuous and occur mainly northeast of Yathkyed Lake. The dominant movement is west side down, but on the east of Yathkyed Lake, an opposite movement has been documented (Eade, 1986).
Regional folding in Archean rocks predominately trends and plunges in a northeast direction, but minor asymmetrical or closed cross folding occurs in a north to northwest direction. Within the Henik Group rocks, primary structures such as tops of beds, graded bedding and pillow tops can rarely be determined and therefore synform 16 and antiforms can only be discerned. In the Kognak River area and extending to the south, a north-northeast trending, north plunging anticline shows similar folding in the Aphebian Hurwitz Group rocks as the Archean rocks below. The late Aphebian to early Helikian Dubawnt Group rocks are flat lying and show no major fold deformation (Eade, 1986 and Mudry et al.1986).
All rocks in the Yathkyed Lake area have undergone Archean deformation and metamorphism from upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies (Mudry et al.1986).
Property Geology
The following brief description of the lithologies encountered on the Sy property is taken from Eade (1986). A property scale geological map is provided as Figure 6 and is modified after the mapping of Eade (1986). For detailed descriptions of the rock types subdivided into 24 mappable geological units based on mineralogy and textural classification the reader is referred to Mudry et al. (1986).
. The Sy property rock types can be divided into three general classifications: Archean, Aphebian and Helikian rocks, with the Archean aged rocks subdivided into the Henik Group rocks and post Henik Plutonics.
Henik Group
The Henik Group rocks are composed of the metamorphosed volcanics, volcaniclastics and sediments of a northeast striking, supracrustal greenstone belt, which underlies 70% of the Sy property.
Mafic Volcanic/Plutonic Rocks
A major band of volcanic rocks extends southwest from east of the Tyrell arm of Yathkyed lake, through the Sy property and continues on to the kognak River and Watterson Lake areas, where it then turns northward to Angikuni Lake. The unit is largely composed of basaltic to andesitic lavas and pyroclastics, rare dacitic to rhyolitic compositions have been documented.
Basaltic lava flows are one of the most abundant rock types on the Sy property. The lavas are dominantly thick massive flows but, locally pillow structures, scoriacious flow tops and flow breccias have been noted. Quartz or calcite amygdules and rare vesicles are also known to occur. The lavas are generally fine-grained, dark green on weathered surfaces and light green to grey on fresh surfaces, and have a noticeable schistosity. 500000 520000 540000 560000 580000 600000 620000 640000

Figure 6 18
The pyroclastics range from coarse agglomerates to fine tuffs. The agglomerates are dominantly composed of a dark green basaltic to andesitic matrix with lighter coloured clasts of andesite, dacite or rhyolite averaging in size at about 12 centimetre in diameter. Tuffs are fine to medium grained, grey to green on weathered surfaces and dark grey to green on fresh surfaces. The tuffs are massive to bedded clastics, which generally occur with the agglomerates, but are also found as lenses within lavas. Clasts are subround to subangular and composed largely of altered plagioclase, rock fragments and quartz in a mass of secondary chlorite, epidote, zoisite and carbonate.
These carbonate and chlorite altered volcanics are thought to be equivalents to the metamorphosed wackes and host auriferous iron form formations on the Sy property. Magnetite in these units is useful for identification by airborne and ground magnetic surveys.
Mafic dykes on the property occur in older sedimentary rocks and are part of the northeast trending Kazan Dyke swarm.
Felsic Volcanic/Plutonic Rocks
Felsic to intermediate volcanics on the property are dominantly in the form of finely laid tuffs with lesser agglomerates and flows. The tuffs are fine to medium grained, light grey to greenish grey on weathered surfaces and grey on fresh surfaces. A prominent schistosity is evident. Agglomerates consist of a greenish grey dacitic matrix with clasts of dacite to rhyolite, up to 20 centimetres in diameter. Lavas are fire grained, grey, massive dacite. Varying textural characteristics of the felsic volcanics indicates several episodes of volcanism.
Felsic plutonics within the Henik Group consist of coarse grained, porphyritic Magnetic interpretation by Murdy et al. 1986 indicated the possible structural influence of the felsic intrusives on mineralized iron formations.
Iron Formation
Iron formations in the area of the Sy property can be traced intermittently for up to 7 kilometres, with thicknesses up to 170 metres. Iron Formations on the Sy property occurs along the southeast side of a volcanic band running from the Tyrell arm of Yathkyed Lake, southwest through the property. Outcrop on the property is scarce, but frost heaved boulders are common. Poorly exposed iron formation can be traced as linear sets of frost boils and frost heaved boulders 100 metres, with thickness of two to three metres, but geophysical surveys indicate that some formations may strike up to 2.5 kilometres. Magnetite-rich oxide facies iron formation and silicate facies iron formation are both present on the property, but oxide facies is more common. The oxides facies is composed of chert and magnetite with lesser grunerite, hornblende, carbonate and chlorite. The oxide facies is seen to be more resistant to weathering than the silicate facies and can be found in outcrop tens of metres long and several metres 19 wide. This facies does not generally contain sulphides nor is it found to be significantly auriferous.
The silicate facies contains higher proportions of amphiboles, carbonate, chlorite and sulphides. This facies is often found in gossanous frost heaved boulders which are commonly gold-bearing.
In total, seven distinct iron formation units have been identified by historic work performed on the property. Unit names are taken from detailed descriptions found in Mudry et al., 1986.
A thin banded magnetite-amphibole-chert unit (unit Aifa) is located on three different horizons in the East Jaeger Zone, a historic showing of an outcropping sulphide horizons, as well as on several horizons around Grunerite Lake. The unit is dark green to grey and composed of magnetite, hematite, quartz, hornblende, grunerite, chlorite, garnet, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Outcrop scale laminations alternate bands of magnetite, amphibole and quartz rich layers. Only one of these units has been reported as being of economic interest. The unit is located on the historic SY-13 grid and can be traced for approximately 100 metres.
Another iron formation (unit Aifb) can be intermittently traced with a linear set of limonitic frost boils and outcrop for approximately 1.4 kilometres on the historic SY-4 grid. The unit is characterized by the assemblage of magnetite, quartz, hornblende, grunerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and rare calcite and garnet. Grunerite and garnet are in lesser quantities in this unit than the previous and there is the notable addition of arsenopyrite. The unit is dark grey green in colour and is poorly banded, with alternating layers of magnetite, amphibole and quartz rich layers. The amphibole is commonly altered to chlorite. Within the amphibole rich bands, pyrrhotite is seen as fine grained clots and disseminations and arsenopyrite is recognized as euhedral to subhedral coarse grains. Historic petrographic work suggests an association of gold with the euhedral arsenopyrite.
An outcropping of iron formation (unit Aifc) occurs on the west end of the historic WAD grid and in the MacArthur Zone. The unit is commonly medium brown to grey-blue in colour, but the amphibole layers can be medium to dark green or black. This unit is fine grained and composed of magnetite, chert and amphibole, with trace to two percent fine grained pyrite. In the W.A.D grid, amphibole is only weakly chloritized. In the MacAurthur Zone the amphiboles are strongly chloritized and pyrite is seen to be concentrated in this layer. Historic assay results are encouraging with a number of samples exceeding 10 g/t Au.
A unique iron formation (unit Aifd) is located on the east end of the historic WAD grid and can be seen outcropping in areas of up to 100 metres in length and 20 metres in width. The unit consists of thick bands of massive magnetite interlayered with quartz wacke. Fine grained pyrite and pyrrhotite is disseminated throughout the 20 magnetite layer, while pyrrhotite is absent in the wacke layers. Historic work on this unit was reported to return discouraging gold values.
Iron formation located on the historic MP001 and KR-10 grids (unit Aife) are composed of magnetite, chert, grunerite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Magnetite in this unit is seen as thin bands, generally less than 1 centimetre, and also disseminated through the chert layers. Pyrite can be found within quartz disseminations in the chert layer and also as euhedral crystals forming discreet thin layers within the magnetite bands. Pyrrhotite is found only in the subsurface as disseminations in the magnetite bands and also occurs along veins. Historic assay results show the potential for high gold values in this unit.
A mineralogically distinct iron formation (unit Aiff) located on the south shore of Kneeling Man Lake occurs as a liner set of gossanous frost boils and subcrops. This unit is characterized by the whitish-grey to orange chert layers that are up to 15 centimetres in width and contain interlayered thin bands of pyrite. The pyrite is fine to medium grained and the bands are generally less than 2 centimetres in width. Historic sampling of this unit returned promising gold assay results.
Associated to the previous unit, another iron formation (unit Aifg) located in the Kneeling Lake area is composed of chert, magnetite, ankerite, dolomite and chlorite. Ankerite is found as thin bands within the chert layers and is spatially associated with fine grained continuous bands of pyrite. Historic assay results returned two samples with low gold values.
Sedimentary Rocks
The sedimentary rocks of the Henik Group are thought to be the oldest rocks on the property. They are largely a thick monotonous package of metamorphosed wackes, which are commonly intruded and flanked on both sides by the felsic rocks of the Henik and Post Henik Group rocks. The auriferous iron formations on the property are hosted by this package (Murdy et al. 1986).
Post Henik Plutons
Felsic Plutonics
A number of felsic plutonic units are recognized on the Sy property, such as quartz monzonite, granodiorite and quartz-feldspar to quartz porphyry. The Quartz monzonite is considered the youngest felsic intrusive on the Sy property. The unit is light grey to pink in colour, medium to coarse grained, equigranular to holocrystalline and exhibits weak foliation. Alteration is rare and consists largely of biotite altered to chlorite with lesser saussuritization of feldspar. Recent reports indicate that mineralization is absent, although historic work had reported to have recovered gossanous zones containing anomalous copper. Large outcrops of this unit are located in the southwest of the property to the northwest of Old Camp Lake. Located in close 21 proximity to the Quartz monzonite is a large northeast trending belt of granodiorite. The unit is medium grained with moderate foliation with alteration including saussuritization of feldspar and biotite altered to chlorite. The quartz-feldspar to quartz porphyry is grey to grayish pink in colour, medium to coarse grained and strongly porphyritic. The quartz and feldspar phenocrysts are subangular to subrounded and range up to seven millimeters in diameter. A second unit of quartz-feldspar porphyry has been recognized and differs form the first unit in that it is more siliceous and the phenocrysts are generally smaller (up to 2 millimetres in diameter). Mineralization is recognized throughout this unit and consists of disseminated pyrite.
Amphibolite
Although several bands of amphibolite are located adjacent to and around the Sy claims, only one long linear band has been described on the property. The band is located in the southwest of the property to the northwest of Old Camp Lake. The amphibolite is medium to coarse grained, dark green to black and generally massive with a glacially polished surface. Foliation is quite prominent in this unit, in contrast to other units located outside of the claim area, due to hosting several shear zones which have caused the amphiboles to become aligned. Trace pyrite and pyrrhotite have been recognized, but at present, no gold mineralization has been identified in this unit.
A good exposure of amphibolite dykes occurs on the Sy property, approximately 3 kilometres north of Old Camp Lake. The unit is medium to light green in colour, medium grained, moderately to strongly foliated and is commonly granulated. The unit can be traced up to 200 metres in some areas with thicknesses up to three metres. The dykes occur within the metamorphosed wacke unit. Mineralization has not been recognized in this unit.
Aphebian Rocks
The Aphebian aged rocks are part of the Tulemalu dyke swarm related to the tensional phase of the post Kenoran orogenic event. These gabbro and diabase dykes are dark green to grey, medium grained and only weakly foliates, in contrast to other gabbroic dykes in the area. Alteration of this unit is minimal and consists of biotite altered to chlorite and saussuritization of feldspar. Metamorphism is also weak. Pyrite mineralization is up to two to five percent and seen as disseminations along fractures.
The Helikian rocks are gabbro dykes, which are part of the northwest trending Mackenzie Dyke swarm of post-Hudsonian tectonics. The post Henik rocks are composed of mafic and felsic intrusives, which cut the upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphosed mafic volcanics, volcaniclastics and sediments of the Henik Group rocks.
Helikian Rocks
The Helikian rocks on the Sy property are represented by the northwest trending Mackenzie dyke swarm related to post Hudsonian tectonism. These diabase 22 dykes are grey to black in colour, medium grained and weakly foliated. One dyke, located approximately 3 kilometres north of Old Camp Lake, is greater than 100 metres in length and 10 metres in width. Mineralization in this unit consists of rare disseminated pyrite.
Structure
The most dominate structural feature in the area of the Sy property is a northeast trending shear zone, the Sy-1 Deformation Zone, which strikes along the east side of the greenstone belt. The zone is a series of small, discontinuous shears, visible on the surface for approximately 15 kilometres, although it is thought to extend for another 15 kilometres to the south. The width of the shear zone varies from 50 to 100 metres. Along the shear zone there is no notable displacement of the geological units. These units include carbonatized basalts, quartz-chlorite-sericite-carbonate schists and boudinaged quartz veins. Zones of intense shearing are mylonitized. Shearing within the iron formations is difficult to identify due to “absorption” of much of the strain in the host rocks and silicate bands, only in the more competent chert horizons is the shearing more obvious with intense brecciation (Balog, 1987).
Poor exposure of outcrop hinders recognition of regional fold patterns, but strong folding within iron formations is evident around the periphery of intrusions near the Pebble Beach area and Martha Zones. Folding and crenulations are most evident in the silicate rich iron formations (Balog, 1987).
DEPOSIT TYPES
The primary deposit type investigated on the Sy property is gold bearing iron formation, along with secondary potential for volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. Archean to Proterozoic greenstone belts consisting of gold bearing iron formation reflect ancient volcanic arc tectonic settings. Iron formation hosted gold deposits are often associated with greenschist to amphibolite metamorphic facies transitions and occur in rocks that have undergone varying degrees of deformation. Alteration associated with gold in iron formation deposits can be variable ranging from prominent carbonatization to sericitization to sulphidization and silicification within wallrocks adjacent to crosscutting quartz veins (Lhotka and Nesbitt, 1989; Kerswill, 1993). Ore mineralization is often related to local structures, such as contacts between ultramafic rocks and tholelitic basalts or sedimentary rocks, as well as, pinch outs and facies changes within geologically favourable units.
Gold hosted within silicate, oxide and sulphide iron formations is currently the primary deposit type of interest within the Sy Project area. Oxide and silicate iron formation rocks are common and locally gossanous due to the weathering of abundant sulphide minerals; white-weathering, resistive quartz veins are often easily recognized against typical barren-land vegetation. Iron formation hosted gold typically occurs associated with crosscutting quartz veins and veinlets or as fine disseminations 23 associated with pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. Mineralization may also develop in the axial plane cleavage or concentrate in fold hinges of the deformed iron formation.
Iron formation hosted gold deposits have been the exploration focus of the Sy Project area in part due to the proximity of similar deposits like Cullaton Lake, Meliadine and Meadowbank. This type deposit type forms significant gold mines/deposits in other regions including Meadowbank (northwest of Baker Lake, Nunavut), Musselwhite (northern Ontario) and Homestake (South Dakota, USA) (see Lhotka and Nesbitt, 1989 and Kerswill, 1993 for a thorough review). These deposits are typically characterized by quartz veins and silicification which can intensify near fold hinges where dilational regimes are abundant. Sulphide minerals, typically pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite, are present within and adjacent to these quartz veins; gold is usually associated with sulphide minerals. The sulphide minerals can form massive to semi-massive layers or beds or can be disseminated as individual grains. The extremely iron-rich nature of the iron formation host rock creates an excellent chemical trap which drives the precipitation of sulphide minerals and gold from mineralizing fluids (Phillips et al., 1984). To date, exploration at the Sy Project has focused on the gold occurrences in iron formation within the sediment dominated portion of the belt. Iron formation and spatially associated EM conductors appear to be abundant in the northern volcanic dominated portion of the Sy project area and have received little exploration. The Three Bluffs and Inuk gold deposits at Committee Bay are hosted within iron formation that is within a greenstone (volcanic) dominated sequence (Turner, 2006).
The characteristics of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits are fairly well known (Sangster 1972, 1980a,b, Franklin et al. 1981, Hutchinson et al. 1982, Wood and Wallace 1986, Eckstrand 1984, Lydon 1988a,b). Typically, VMS deposits range up to a few million tonnes and the main ore metals are Cu, Zn and lesser amounts of Pb, Ag and Au. Lydon (1988a) broadly classified VMS deposits into two main types based on their major ore metal content: Cu-Zn deposits and Zn-Pb-Cu deposits. There is much overlap between these two broad classes, but the Cu-Zn type tends to be more common in mafic volcanic rocks or their sedimentary derivatives, whereas the Zn-Pb-Cu type tends to occur where the regional footwall succession is dominantly felsic volcanic rocks or mica/clay-bearing sedimentary rocks. VMS deposits are synvolcanic and broadly concordant within the stratigraphy that host them. They generally comprise a stratabound massive sulphide lens that is underlain by or sources from a discordant crosscutting feeder stockwork. Many deposits exist at a mafic to more felsic volcanic transition, and are interlayered with fine grained sediments and tuffs that reflect a period of volcanic extrusive quiescence, but active fumarolic activity. Associated rock types include one or more of rhyolite domes, phreatic explosion breccias, and volcanic derived sedimentary rocks, including sulphidic chert, iron and manganese oxide units, and carbonaceous argillites. VMS deposits are found in rocks of all ages, but in Canada they are most common in Archean (2.75 Ga), Proterozoic (1.9-1.7 Ga) and Cambro-Ordovician age rocks.
The sulphide lenses are typically massive, rubbly or brecciated, but they grade laterally into either layered sulphide, interlayered sulphide and sedimentary bands or 24
'layered' clastic massive sulphide. The predominant sulphide minerals comprise pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. These minerals tend to be characteristically zoned outwards from the core of the stringer zone: chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite are more common near the core, grading outwards to pyrite and sphalerite with some galena, to sphalerite, galena, pyrite and, in some cases, barite. The stratigraphic footwall and, particularly, the stockwork feeder zone are hydrothermally altered, and are characterized by varied amounts of Mg, Si, K, Ca and Na metasomatism. The stratigraphic hangingwall, in contrast, typically is unaltered to little altered in comparison to the footwall stratigraphy. Hydrothermal silicate alteration products comprise quartz and chlorite in the stringer zone core, surrounded by a halo of sericite. In places, Fe, Ca and Mg carbonates, smectite, talc, actinolite and some other Fe- or Mg-bearing minerals comprise part of the alteration assemblage. In general, Fe and Mg are enriched in the central stringer zones, whereas Ca, Na, Si and K are depleted. In highly metamorphosed deposits, however, alteration assemblages are represented by cordierite, anthophyllite, biotite, talc, kyanite, sericite, garnet, staurolite and gahnite. Characteristically, individual VMS deposits tend to occur in clusters around volcanic or fumarolic centres. Important exploration guides to VMS ore deposits include: (1) synvolcanic fractures in submarine volcanic rocks which permitted fumarolic fluids to discharge at the seafloor-sediment interface; (2) mafic to felsic volcanic transitions, (3) phreatic felsic volcanic centres; (4) altered stringer zones with disseminated sulphides; (5) associated pyroclastic rocks in the immediate stratigraphic footwall; and (6) an overlying thin to, locally, thick sulphidic and siliceous exhalative horizon, black carbonaceous shale or baritic layer.
Although the characteristics of the 'typical' VMS deposit have been well summarized by various workers, in detail there is much variation between geographically or geologically separate VMS camps, and often between deposits within the same camp. Further, where the host rocks have been strongly deformed or metamorphosed or both, it is often difficult to clearly recognize those characteristics that are considered 'typical' for VMS deposits. Many of the Archean VMS deposits are associated with folds, hence they originally were believed to be epigenetic structurally- related replacement sulphide deposits, whereas subsequent work often has shown them to have been deposited synvolcanically and genetically to be both pre-deformation and pre-metamorphism.
MINERALIZATION
Approximately 40 anomalous gold-bearing zones have been identified, tested or drilled on the Sy property during the middle 1980’s. Anomalous zones may be categorized as geological, geophysical or geochemical. These zones may be considered anomalous, although they may not necessarily be highly auriferous. The zones can be further divided into which grid they were initially discovered. The vast majority of gold occurrences have been discovered on three contiguous grid areas: the WAD, SY-4 and SY13 grids (Figure 7). Curiously little or no exploration for gold or VMS related base metals has occurred in the area in over 20 years. ±

Figure 7 26
Based upon past exploration and work conducted during the data review and the property visit during 2007, there appear to be several of the historic gold occurrences that warrant further exploration. In a number of cases, the 2006 airborne geophysical survey has outlined what appear to be a number of iron formations and conductors parallel to and often only a few tens to a few hundreds of meters away from known existing iron formations with spatially associated conductors that host known gold occurrences. In most cases, the reason that a number of these iron formations and conductors have not be explored and tested is that they are not exposed at surface. In addition, iron formation and spatially associated EM conductors appear to be abundant in the northern volcanic dominated portion of the belt and, other than the KR-10 and the MAL gold occurrences, this portion of the belt has received little exploration. Again exposure is poor and has likely resulted in a lack of exploration.
Gold occurrences or zones that appear to warrant further exploration include (in order of priority) the Jaeger Lake zone on the SY-13 grid, the MP001 occurrence on the SY-1 grid and the KR-10 zone (Figure 7). Based upon the 2006 airborne geophysical survey it also is likely that there are a number of extensions to prior tested horizons, untested horizons and contacts of iron formations with spatially associated EM conductors that require follow-up exploration in the vicinity of a number of historic occurrences; these include untested zones at the SY-4 grid and the WAD grid (Figure 7).
SY-13 Grid
Jaeger Lake East Zone
The Jaeger Lake East zone extends the original Jaeger Lake zone to the northeast with partially sulphidized oxide iron formation. The east zone is located between lines 15+00 and 12+00W/2+50S on the 1984 SY-13 grid (Figure 7). The Jaeger Lake East zone contains four sulphide to oxide horizons, of which at least two are gold bearing. The mineralized zones are contained within sulphidized oxide facies iron formation packages that have been interlayered with a psammitic sequence of sedimentary rocks (Reid, 1984). The Jaeger Lake East zone may potentially extend eastwards to the Coyle zone and westward to the Jaeger Lake zone. Rock sample assays yielded up to 9.90 g/t Au and 0.160 to 4.40 g/t Ag, while panned concentrates yield up to 13.70 g/t Au and up to 4.70 g/t Ag along with minimal Cu and Zn values (Reid, 1984). In diamond drilling during 1986, the Jaeger Lake East zone yielded up to 3.38 g/t Au over 3.5 m core length in drill hole 86-1 and up to 3.18 g/t Au over 7.0 m core length in hole 86-11 (Mudry et al., 1986). Drilling at the Jaegar Lake East Zone during 1987 yielded grades of up to 3.53 g/t Au over 6.20 m core length including a higher grade portion of 5.67 g/t Au over 3.0 m (Pacor, 1987). The Jaeger Lake East has returned highly anomalous gold values in core from four out of five drill holes drilled over more than 250 m of strike length. The Jaeger Lake East gold zone remains open at depth and to the northeast and may even be open to the southwest. The zone warrants further drilling and is considered a priority target. 27
SY-13E
The Sy-13E Zone of mineralization was initially discovered by Aberford in 1981 between the lines 18 and 19 E/2+00S on the SY-13 grid. The zone is cantered on a strong VLF conductor, which may extend to the SY-13 South Zone. Trenching on the top of a hill, which contained abundant sulphide mineralized frost boils along its lower slope, revealed sulphide to oxide facies iron formation. Sampling in this zone also yielded anomalous zinc values, which were consistently associated with elevated silver and copper values, highlighting the possible presence of volcanogenic massive sulphide zones in the area (Reid, 1984).
Jaeger Lake
The Jaeger Lake zone was initially discovered between lines 18W/5+00S and 22N/6+00S on the SY-13 grid by Aberford in 1984. It was initially discovered as a long linear set of mineralized frost boils, which contained fragments of massive sulphides and iron formation. One occurrence of limited outcrop in the zone is located on the top of a small hill and consisted of a linear 0.61 metre wide magnetite rich iron formation (Reid, 1984).
Coyle Zone
The Coyle Zone is located on the far eastern extent of the Jaeger Lake conductor and consists of a set of small rusty frost boils. Anomalous gold values (up to 4 g/t) have been recovered from this zone (Reid, 1984).
Reid Zone
The Reid zone, initially discovered by Aberford in 1984 on line 2+00W/3+25N on the SY-13 grid, consists of a long string of sulphide-rich frost boils and limited outcrop of iron formation. The iron formation within the zone is intensely quartz veined and contains abundant pyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite mineralization. Historic assay results from samples collected from the iron formation were reported to have not returned any significant gold values, although silver, copper and zinc were said to be high with values of up to 25 g/t Ag, 0.23% Cu and 1.24% Zn, respectively (Reid, 1984).
SY-13 S Zone
The SY-13S Zone, located on line 32+00W/0+75S of the SY-13 grid, was discovered in 1981 by the initial reconnaissance survey performed by Aberford. This zone of considerable length, lies atop a long VLF conductor and consists of a system of frost heaved silicate-sulphide-amphibole iron formation flanked by boudinaged pyrrohotite-, pyrite- and amphibole-rich gneiss. Historic sampling returned slightly elevated results with respect to gold, silver and base metals (Reid, 1984). 28
KR-10 Grid
KR-10 zone
The KR-10 zone represents a localized outcrop area of mineralized, sulphide-rich lean oxide iron formation that is strongly deformed and along strike from the MAL zone described below (Figure 7). The KR-10 and MAL zones represent the lone gold showings discovered in the northern portion of the belt within the volcanic dominated rocks. Surficial exposure of the KR-10 anomaly is limited to small outcrops of lean oxide cherty iron formation in the presence of a Z fold structure with a 041o azimuth. The mineralized zone is bound to the north by carbonated mudstones and sheared basalts. Assayed rock samples yielded up to 14.6 g/t Au and 3.30 g/t Ag (Reid, 1986). A single diamond drill hole was completed to test the occurrence during 1986 and intersected abundant sulphides with low gold values. The author considers the drill hole test inadequate in light of the tenor of gold obtained from the limited exposed sulphidic zones along with the results of the 2006 airborne survey that shows the presence of a much more extensive magnetic lineament and series EM conductors that are spatially associated with the target.
MAL zone
The MAL zone is located approximately 1.6 kilometres southwest of the KR-10 zone and consists of sulphide-rich frost boils. Exposure of the MAL zone (1.5 by 3 metres) is alongside the southern extent of a sheared, carbonated basalt outcrop. Similar occurrences of mineralized iron formation and basaltic host rock have been noted over an area 500 by 750 metres (Reid, 1986). Based on the stratigraphic sequence, the MAL zone represents a distinct anomaly even though it is located along the same strike as the KR-10 zone. According to Reid (1986), rock samples yield low but anomalous gold values with anomalous arsenic, copper and zinc values (0.14%, 0.91%, and 0.116%, respectively). The results from frost boil and pan concentrates was more favourable yielding up to 5.26 g/t Au and up to 1.10 g/t Ag. The occurrence is situated near a long linear magnetic anomaly as well as a long linear EM conductor. This occurrence requires follow up exploration and may be example of a gold shear zone in volcanics or VMS type target.
Big Bird Lake MP001 Grid
SY-1/MP001 Boil Complex
The SY-1/MP001 zone, originally located by Aberford in 1981, is located between lines 47+00 and 49+50NE and stations 1+40S to 2+40N on the Big Bird Lake grid (Figure 7). The zone consists of three parallel horizons of frost boils, frost heaved boulders and limited subcrop of oxide iron formation located northeast from Big Bird Lake. The original SY-1 showing is the most northerly of the three horizons and consists of a long linear series of sulphide-rich frost boils with a strike length of 150 metres and 060° azimuth. The SY-1 horizon is associated with a strong conductor and 29 magnetic anomaly, and is bound along the southern margin by a rhyolitic unit (Reid, 1984). The SY-1A horizon, located along 48+50 and 50+00NE/0+35N, consists of linear sulphide-rich frost boils associated with a moderately strong VLF conductor. The third horizon, from line 48+50 to 50+25NE/0+20S of the Big Bird grid, represents weakly mineralized frost boils with intensely sheared metasediments (Reid, 1984). Previous sampling along the SY-1/MP001 frost boil complex has yielded up to 6.04 g/t Au and 5.4 g/t Ag in rock samples and up to 4.48 g/t Au and 16.80 g/t Ag in frost boil panned concentrates along with up to 0.56% Cu and 1.59% Zn (Reid, 1986). The geology of the area is such that it straddles the transition from the sediment dominated portion of the belt to the volcanic dominated portion of the belt. The geology including potential bimodal volcanics and iron formation in conjunction with the geochemistry obtained to date perhaps highlights the potential of this area as a not only a gold in iron formation target but also a VMS target (Reid, 1984).
It appears two drill holes were drilled on the MP001 grid testing some of the surface showings. Drill hole 86-10 encountered 1.62 g/t Au over 2.1 m core length within quartz carbonate sericite chlorite schist likely representing mafic volcanics (Mudry et al., 1986). Based upon the authors review, the 2006 airborne geophysics survey and a field visit to this target it is unclear whether the best gold showings were in fact tested. In addition, two sub-parallel EM conductors along with a strong magnetic anomaly lie to the northwest of the drill collars and were not tested by the 1986 drill holes, which were drilled in a southeasterly direction. A 1986 sample that assayed 5.36 g/t Au appears to be associated with one of the untested EM conductors and coincident magnetic anomaly, however, the sample was not located to confirm this.
Big Bird South Zone
Surficial exposure of the Big Bird zone is limited to weakly chloritized silicate iron formation within frost heaved boulders and frost boils over 250 metres (Balog, 1988). The Big Bird South zone consists of three sub-parallel iron formations that have undergone intense shearing along the SY-1 deformation zone (Balog, 1988). The surrounding rock types include chlorite schist, and foliated carbonatized metavolcanic units (Reid, 1986). Mineralization of the Big Bird zone comprises disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite, sulphide stringers, and disseminations within the chert amphibole sections of the iron formation (Reid, 1986). Assayed samples yield up to 0.69 g/t Au from this zone (Balog, 1988). The Big Bird South horizons exhibit dimensions of 0.5 to 2.5 metres across and 60 to 400 metres in length (west to central iron formations, respectively) (Reid, 1986).
SY-4 Grid
The SY-4 grid has been divided into the 078 Boil Complex, the Original SY-4, SY-4 North Extension, SY-4 East Extension and MacArthur gold zones/showings (Figure 7). The SY-4 Extension contains the Z-fold North, Z-fold South, Corn Lake and Line 15 South zones (Figure 7). Drilling of a number of the SY-4 grid targets including the 078 Boil Complex, the main SY-4 showing, SY-4 North Extension, SY-4 East, 30
MacArthur, Z-Fold North and South and Corn Lake has yielded only limited success with a best intersection to date of 1.53 g/t Au over 2.4 m core length from the 078 Boil Complex and 2.40 g/t Au over 1.3 m from the Z-Fold North occurrence. Despite this limited success, based upon the 2006 airborne survey there remain a number of magnetic anomalies and EM conductors that are untested and most likely poorly exposed but may warrant follow-up exploration.
Original SY-4 Zone
Mineralization on the original SY-4 zone located between 10E/1+50N and 13+50E/2+00N on the original SY-4 grid, was initially discovered during the 1981 reconnaissance project. The Sy-4 mineralization is hosted in a thin pyrite-pyrrhotite- arsenopyrite-rich cherty iron formation. The iron formation its self is hosted in a psammite to greywacke package. Trenching around the iron formation indicated a true width of 4 metres (Reid, 1984).
SY-4 North Extension
Also in 1981, mineralization was discovered between lines 13+50E/2+00N and 16+50E/2+50N on the original SY-4 grid. The SY-4 North Extension consists of an extensive area of mineralized frost boils and frost heaved boulders. Drilling in 1986 by Homestake intersected iron formation, which strikes north-south and dipped 80° to the east. Bedding and foliation also dipped to the east, between 70° to 90°. In addition, fractures were subhorizontal and quartz veining was subparallel to foliation. The SY-4N Extension is generally online with the McArthur Zone, although separated by a zone of deep tundra, and is thought to be an extension of it. Geophysics has indicated the possibility that the zone extends towards the south (Reid, 1984).
SY-4 East Extension, Corn Lake, Z-Fold and Line 15 Zones
Located on the SY-4 East grid, are the Corn Lake, Z-fold North, Z-Fold South and Line 15 South zones. Homestake identified and drilled these zones in 1986 as there area appeared to be complex due to the influence of a “large mass of porphyry.” The Corn Lake zone is a small outcrop of “possible” iron formation, but it was not intersected in the drill hole. The Z-Fold North zone was drilled in 1986 by Homestake and intersected several thin iron formations, which appeared to strike north- south, with foliation dipping to the east 60° to 70°. Ground magnetic surveys delineated the Z-Fold South zone and when drilled, intersected several units of wacke and iron formation. Foliation dipped vertically to steeply to the west, while fractures and quartz veins were subvertical and subhorizontal. Not much information has been reported on the Line 15 South zone, but Homestake described the area as having “a lack of outcrop” and when drilled, foliation could be either dip vertically or horizontally (Reid, 1984). 31
McArthur Zone
The McArthur Zone (NUMIN.DB Showing 065ISW0015), was first identified in 1984 by Aberford between the 18+00 and 19+50E/3+50N lines on the original Sy-4 Grid. This anomaly is a long (approximately 85 metres), narrow, linear sulphide mineralized horizon, which dips steeply to the east. Outcrop is observed at several locations at this location. The horizon is enclosed between sulphide-sericitic sandstones. It appears that a correlation can be made between mapped sulphide bearing iron formations and magnetic response at this location. Historic sampling from this zone have retuned promising Au values and it is speculated that grade may increase with depth (Reid, 1984 and Reid et al, 1986).
078 Boil Complex
The 078 Boil Complex was initially discovered in 1984 by Aberford at 2+00E/0+20S on the original SY-4 grid, while panning a large sulphide-rich frost boil. Numerous trenches and pits have been excavated and extensive sampling of sulphide- bearing frost boils has been performed. Reid et al, 1986 postulated that the 078 Boil Complex is an extension of the original SY-4 anomaly (Reid, 1984).
113 Zone
The 113 Zone, located on line 4+50E/3+75S on the original SY-4 grid first was identified by Aberford in 1984. The zone consists of a small boil system, which is thought to be an extension of an oxide iron formation, seen outcropping on 4+50E/3+75S. The iron formation is composed of thinly bedded chlorite, quartz, magnetite-rich layers, displaying a distinct schistosity. Auriferous and sulphide bearing rusty coloured frost boils are located approximately 30 meters from the outcrop. Silver is also seen to be anomalous in frost oil samples taken from this area (Reid, 1984).
Curtis Zone
The Curtis Zone, discovered in 1984 by Aberford is an extensive series of sulphide zones containing a long set sulphide-rich frost boils located on the east end of the south side of Washaneepisuki Lake. Outcrop in the area consists of pyrite and pyrrhotite bearing amphibole-chert ± garnet and magnetite iron formation is hosted within Metasediments, metavolcanics, tuffs and porphyry rocks. Historic assay results from this area were reported to be “disappointing” with very low values for gold, silver and base metals (Reid, 1984).
Hawk Rock Zone
The Hawk Rock Zone, located on the extreme northeast end of the original SY-4 grid, between lines 27+00E/4+00S and 31+00E/4+00S, was initially discovered by Aberford in 1981. The zone consists of an extensive series of gossans with very limited exposure of outcrop. The area of the Hawk rock zone is considered to 32 be “structurally complex,” with evidence of major folding and two periods of deformation. Historic assay results were reported to be “extremely discouraging” for gold and silver and base metals values were considered very low as well (Reid, 1984).
WAD Grid
WAD. zone
The WAD. zone potentially reflects the continuation of the SY-4 anomaly within the northeast corner of the original SY permits. The WAD zone is located approximately 5.25 kilometres south of the KR-10 zone and along strike from the SY-4 grid (Figure 7). The WAD zone appears to contain intensely metamorphosed and deformed rocks similar to the SY package. The WAD gold zone is hosted by a sequence of psammitic sedimentary rocks which are often associated with quartz- feldspar porphyries that trend east-west to north-east with shallow dips (Reid, 1986). WAD mineralization is limited to weakly sulphidized oxide to silicate iron formation, yielding up to 1.20 g/t Au and up to 5.10 g/t Ag in rock samples and up to 4.72 g/t Au and 1.63 g/t Ag in frost boil pan concentrates (Reid, 1986). The WAD zone represents a significant anomaly due to the highly folded and sheared extension of the SY-4 package of mineralized rocks to the northeast.
A total of 12 drill holes have tested a variety of gold occurrences and frost boil anomalies within the WAD grid area. The best intersection to date is 1.68 g/t Au over 3.25 m core length in drill hole 87-15 from the main WAD showing (Pacor, 1987).
Goose Lake Grid
Goose Lake Zone
The Goose Lake zone is characterized by silicate iron formation in rubble crop at 15+00E 14+20N on the Goose Lake grid. Schistose basalt hosts the iron formation over a strike length of 100 metres. Sample assays yielded up to 0.21 g/t Au and 0.69 g/t Ag in the Goose Lake zone.
North of SY-1/MP001
Caribou Zone
The Caribou zone was initially discovered by K. Reading in 1981 (Reid, 1986). Surficial exposure of the Cariboo zone is limited to gossanous frost boils and subcrop along a traceable length of 4.5 kilometres. The western horizon of the zone consists of quartz veining and sulphidized wacke with up to 0.24 g/t Au (Balog, 1988). The southern extent of the western horizon is offset by two east-west oriented faults (Reid, 1986). The eastern horizon of the Cariboo structure is characterized by quartz veining in iron formation, yielding an averaged 0.07 g/t gold with anomalous values of 1.87 g/t Au and 1.37 g/t Ag (Balog, 1988). Anomalous values within the eastern horizon 33 are associated with a quartz-veined silicate iron formation unit exposed over a 10 metre length. The western zone was exposed over 1.8 kilometres with a strike of 050/50 west, while the eastern zone frost boils were traced for 2.8 kilometres with a 2 to 3 metre width (Reid, 1986).
Martha Zone
The Martha zone can be classified as two separate structures (east and west). The Martha East zone contains a 50 m long gossanous re-crystallized quartz vein that assays 0.07 g/t Au and 0.69 g/t Ag. According to Balog (1988), elevated copper and arsenic values, 0.064% and >0.1% respectively, were often associated with non-auriferous quartz veins. The Martha West zone consists of a discontinuous gossan - quartz vein assemblage that assayed 0.07 to 0.14 g/t Au with background values of silver. It was noted in 1988 by Balog, that the host basalt sequence underwent amphibolite grade metamorphism near the intrusive contact.
Billy Zone
The Billy zone consists of an oxide iron formation exposure,150 m in strike length, that assays up to 0.21 g/t Au and 0.69 g/t Ag (Balog, 1988).
Anomalous Zones Outside of Grid Regions
No Camp Zone
The No Camp Zone is located 4.8 kilometres east of the Pebble Beach Lake camp and comprises two mineralized structures. Exposure of the No Camp zone consists of outcrop, subcrop, and frost heaved material belonging to a complex package of metavolcanics to chemical sediments (Reid, 1986). The first structure within the No Camp zone displays a considerable surficial trace (850 metres) and width less than one metre. Additionally, the first structure contains an ironstone-sulphide horizon, and has yielded assay values of 0.1% Cu, 0.25% Zn, and an averaged 0.07 g/t Au. The second structure represents a 25 metre long mineralized quartz vein with up to 7.95 g/t Au, 274.3 g/t Ag, and 10.67% Pb (Balog, 1988). The quartz vein is 1 m thick, contains coarse galena and pyrite cubs, and is hosted in a quartz monzonite intrusion (Balog, 1988).
Yathkyed Zone
The Yathkyed zone represents a region of discontinuous gossanous shear zones and iron formations, over 600 metres, in proximity to a quartz monzonite intrusion. Yathkyed mineralization is limited to disseminations, thin blebs, and veinlets parallel to foliation, which display assay values of up to 0.14 g/t gold (Balog, 1988). Mineralized iron formations within the Yathkyed zone have a surficial trace of up to 200 metres, with an average of 50 metres. 34
Dike Zone
The Dike zone has been characterized by mineralized quartz veins within a quartz-potassium feldspar dike. The mineralized dike occurs over 50 metres, with a 1 to 3 metre width, and strike of 047/70 northwest (Balog, 1986). Mineralization in the zone ranges from 0.07 to 0.55 g/t Au and 0.69 to 3.7 g/t Ag (Balog, 1988).
Pebble Beach Zone
The Pebble Beach anomaly can be further subdivided into three zones; the east, north, and south. The eastern zone contains parallel horizons of gossanous silicate iron formation hosted in fragmental basalt. The eastern zone mineralization occurs within localized pods of massive pyrrhotite or pyrite. The northern zone represents the largest iron formation exposure on the Sy claims (10 to 30 metres wide). The iron formation in the north zone is hosted by carbonatized basalts, and assays range from 0.07 to 0.14 g/t gold (Balog, 1988). The southern Pebble Beach zone consists of thin bands of iron formation, 30 to 200 metres wide, within a carbonatized mafic metavolcanic unit.
Sandhill Zone
Exposure of the Sandhill zone is limited to a banded chert-sulphide- mudstone package that yields up to 30% pyrrhotite and trace gold values (Balog, 1988).
Double Z Zone
According to Balog (1988), the Double Z zone has yielded 0.07 g/t gold within sheared chert iron formation hosted by carbonatized basalts. Exposure of the iron formation has been traced over 80 metres and up to 10 metres wide.
Planarian Zone
The Planarian zone consists of chert-amphibole iron formation hosted within a basaltic unit that has not been carbonatized. Two samples yielded 0.07 and 0.69 g/t gold within the shear zone (Balog, 1988).
Bug Zone
Exposure of the Bug zone is limited to two brecciated gossanous quartz veins (0.07 g/t gold) containing black siliceous mudstone. The veins are discontinuous (dimensions less then one metre at surface and are hosted by amphibolitized basalt (Balog, 1988). 35
Terminal Zone
The Terminal zone contains 30 m of gossanous iron formation with mineralized veins and carbonatized basalt host material. The Terminal zone mineralization is limited to 0.07 g/t gold and background silver values (Balog, 1988).
2007 EXPLORATION
The 2007 exploration program was conducted by a four person APEX geological crew under the direct supervision of Mr. Michael Dufresne, the Qualified Person for the project. The program was conducted over 10 days based out of a seasonal hunting camp on the north shore of South Henik Lake and was supported by a Hughes 500 helicopter provided by Great Slave Helicopters. Exploration commenced on August 29, 2007 with completion of the program on September 7, 2007. A total expenditure of $121,482.53 CDN, not including GST, was incurred by APEX and includes the cost of the 10 day field exploration program as well as a brief review and compilation of the available historic data into a functional GIS using ArcGIS 9.2.
A total of 102 rock grab samples were collected and assayed for gold and trace metals. The locations of the samples are shown of Figure 8. Descriptions and detailed geochemical results are included in the report as Appendix 1. The 2007 geochemical data was integrated with the historic compilation and a complete review of the 2006 airborne geophysical survey completed by Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. (Smith, 2006). The highlights of the 2006 airborne survey are presented on Figures 9 and 10.
A total of 13 rock grab samples yielded gold values greater that 1 g/t Au with five samples yielding greater then 5 g/t Au up to a high of 8.88 g/t Au. The purpose of the 2007 exploration program was to: (1) determine the effectiveness of the 2006 airborne survey in locating sulphide zones with gold and base metal potential; (2) confirm the location and presence of the historic gold showings; and (3) to assess the overall economic gold and base metal potential of the Sy Property.
All three goals of the 2007 exploration program were satisfied. The 2007 exploration program was successful in identifying and confirming the location and tenor of historic gold occurrences on the Sy Property and that a number of the existing identified sulphide zones found during prior exploration are coincident with linear magnetic anomalies and interpreted EM conductors. In addition, despite poor bedrock exposure, directed prospecting of EM anomalies and interpreted conductors during the 2007 program led to the discovery of sulphide zones associated with iron formations and metavolcanics. Sampling of some of these sulphide zones in iron formation and metavolcanics has led to the discovery of new gold and base metal showings and demonstrates the usefulness of directed field work based upon the airborne geophysics in order to unlock the potential for metal discoveries in the belt. 549000 556000 563000 570000 577000 584000

Prospecting and Sampling
A total of 102 rocks were collected during prospecting for the purpose of lithogeochemical analyses including gold assays. Based on the author’s prior exploration experience in Archean greenstone belts in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, samples containing greater than 0.5 g/t Au are considered ‘anomalous’ and those samples which contain between 0.10 g/t Au and 0.5 g/t Au are ‘possibly anomalous’. A total of 27 samples assayed >0.1 g/t Au, including 16 samples that assayed >0.5 g/t Au and 5 samples that assayed >5.0 g/t Au (Figure 11 and Appendix 1). Of the five samples >5.0 g/t Au, three samples were taken from banded iron formation outcrops containing abundant pyrite and either quartz veining or silicification. ‘Select rock grab’ samples were, in general, collected in the mineralized zones in order to confirm gold grades obtained from historic showings.
Samples collected from a number of the major known gold occurrences, in general, replicated the gold grades of the prior historic results. A total of 13 rock grab samples yielded gold values greater that 1 g/t Au and were obtained from the Jaeger Lake gold zone, the KR-10 occurrence, the 078 Boil Complex, the SY-4 main zone, the main WAD zone and the No Camp Zone (Figure 11). Most if not all of these gold occurrences exist in areas of poor bedrock exposure and extensive surficial cover. In general, many of the gold occurrences/zones are spatially associated with a coincident linear magnetic anomaly and associated EM anomaly or interpreted conductor (Figures 9 to 11).
Gold occurrences or zones that appear to warrant further exploration include (in order of priority) the Jaeger Lake zone on the SY-13 grid, the MP001 occurrence on the SY-1 grid and the KR-10 zone (Figure 7). Based upon the 2006 airborne geophysical survey it also is likely that there are a number of extensions to prior tested horizons, untested horizons and contacts of iron formations with spatially associated EM conductors that require follow-up exploration in the vicinity of a number of historic occurrences; these include untested zones at the SY-4 grid and the WAD grid (Figures 7 to 11).
Prospecting and sampling of the coincident magnetic and EM anomalies during 2007 has led to identification of a number of new base metal occurrences (Figures 12 and 13). Samples from sulphidic zones associated with EM conductors in mafic volcanics that yielded greater than 1,000 ppm Cu up to 1,620 ppm Cu were found at two separate locations along the same conductor west of Big Bird Lake and at two separate conductors north of Big Bird Lake (Figures 7 and 12). A high sulphide VMS-like showing in volcanics discovered 3 km south of Yathkyed Lake, yielded up to 1,903 ppm Cu and 5,367 ppm Zn (Figures 12 and 13). The two high copper showing north of Big Bird Lake described above also yielded high zinc with values of up to 6,138 ppm Zn and 6,321 ppm Zn (Figures 12 and 13). These results are considered highly anomalous from a very limited amount of prospecting and sampling of magnetic and EM anomalies identified from the 2006 airborne survey.

Evaluation of the 2006 Airborne Geophysical Survey
During late 2006, Kaminak engaged Fugro Airborne Surveys (Fugro) to conduct a DIGHEM V helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) survey over a large portion of the Sy Property (Smith, 2006). This data was reviewed and incorporated into the GIS for targeting purposes for the 2007 field program. The 1,178.3 line-kilometer survey yielded 690 EM anomalies that Fugro attributed to probable bedrock conductors, most of which were thought to be due to thin sources that are typical of massive sulphide responses. Many of the EM anomalies occur within or adjacent to magnetic units, likely iron formations, or in close proximity to their contacts, and are likely due to increases in amount of conductive sulphides. Fugro considered many of the EM anomalies in the survey area indicative of well-defined, moderate to strongly conductive bedrock zones that warrant follow-up exploration. 44
Other than one gold occurrence, all historic high grade gold occurrences that yielded greater than 5.0 g/t Au are located within the sediment dominated portion of the greenstone belt and for the most part are spatially related to quartz veined or silicified sulphide-bearing iron formation or at the contacts of the iron formations. The 2006 airborne survey delineated a thin bedrock sourced EM conductor spatially associated with almost every high grade gold occurrence within the sediment dominated portion of the greenstone belt. A number of short discontinuous conductors within the sediment dominated portion of the belt that have yielded anomalous gold values as well. There are a number of conductors that are covered and are unexplained.
In a number of cases, the 2006 airborne geophysical survey has outlined what appear to be a number of iron formations and conductors parallel to and often only a few tens to a few hundreds of meters away from known existing iron formations with spatially associated conductors that host known gold occurrences (Figures 9 to 11). In most cases, the reason that a number of these iron formations and conductors have not be explored and tested is that they are not exposed at surface. In addition, iron formation and spatially associated EM conductors appear to be abundant in the northern volcanic dominated portion of the belt and, other than the KR-10 and the MAL gold occurrences, this portion of the belt has received little exploration (Figures 9 to 11). Again exposure is poor and has likely resulted in a lack of exploration. Prospecting and sampling of a few selected EM conductors during the 2007 program yielded a number of new sulphide zones, some which yielded anomalous gold assays all less than 0.5 g/t Au. However, continued prospecting and sampling at these and other locations with coincident magnetic and EM anomalies is strongly recommended, as in the authors experience this type of work will lead to new discoveries.
The vast majority of the conductors occur in the volcanic dominated northwestern portion of the belt. This portion of the belt is volcanic dominated with associated iron formations and some intercalated sedimentary horizons. This portion of the belt is more poorly exposed and therefore has seen the least amount of prior exploration and is more difficult to explore. Prospecting during 2007 concentrated on ground truthing and sampling conductors within this portion of the belt as this is where the strongest likelihood of new metal discoveries exists. A number of the conductors in mafic volcanics yielded poorly exposed sulphide zone a number of which yielded anomalous concentrations of copper and zinc. Conductors 111, 112 and 120 yielded samples of sulphidic mafic volcanics with the concentration of copper ranging from greater than 1,000 ppm up to 1,902 ppm. All three conductors also yielded samples with anomalous concentrations of zinc ranging from greater than 1,000 ppm up to 6,321 ppm zinc.
DRILLING
No drilling has been conducted on the property while under the ownership of Corsa Capital Ltd. Previous drilling on the property is described in the History section. 45
SAMPLING METHOD AND APPROACH
All APEX samples were collected under the supervision of a registered professional geologist, Mr. Michael Dufresne, P.Geol. 105 samples were collected within the property. All rock samples that were collected during the property visit were marked at each sample site using orange arctic grade flagging along with a metal marking tag to insure sample site preservation. Sample locations were determined by hand-held global positioning system (GPS) set to report locations in UTM coordinates using the North American Datum established in 1983 (NAD 83) and UTM zone 14n. Sample sizes were, in general, between 0.6 kilograms and 2.0 kilograms and samples were collected in clear plastic sample bags. The sample identifiers were written on the outside of each bag (on both sides). A sample tag marked with the appropriate sample number was placed inside each sample bag. The sample bags were closed using zip ties. The samples were then placed within a sealed poly woven (rice) bag. The samples were taken to Rankin Inlet, NU., and transported by air to Edmonton, Ab., where the original samples were transported by freight to TSL Laboratories (TSL), Saskatoon, Sk., and duplicates to ALS Chemex (ALS) in Vancouver, B.C.
Based on the author’s prior exploration experience, samples containing greater than 0.5 g/t Au are considered ‘anomalous’ and those samples which contain between 0.10 g/t Au and 0.5 g/t Au are ‘possibly anomalous’. Anomalous rock samples which contain greater than 0.5 g/t Au should, wherever possible, be followed up to determine if they are associated with important gold-bearing zones. Possibly anomalous rock samples which assay greater than or equal to 0.10 g/t Au may warrant follow-up exploration depending on: (a) whether there are other possibly anomalous samples in their vicinity, (b) favourable geology, and (c) the logistical ease of re-visiting the sample site.
SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY
The APEX rock samples were all placed into sealed plastic bags and then into a sealed poly woven (rice) bag and placed into a pail for shipment to the analysing laboratory immediately following collection. The samples were transported by air back to Edmonton, Alberta and then shipped by courier (insured) in a security sealed plastic pail. All original rock samples were sent to TSL, and duplicates samples to ALS for gold analysis, multi-element geochemistry and whole rock geochemistry. The author did not have control over the samples at all times and therefore can not personally verify what happened to the samples during transport and shipping, to the time they were received. However, the author has no reason to believe that the security of the samples was compromised.
The rock samples were analysed for gold using the Fire Assay procedure set forth by both labs. TSL along with ALS follow similar protocol for sample analysis. Prior to analysis, all samples were dried (if necessary) and crushed to –10 mesh (2 millimetre). A representative split of the sample (approx. 250 grams) is then taken, 46 using a riffle splitter, and pulverized to -150 mesh, then hand homogenized. The fire assay method uses an approximate 30 gram aliquot sub-sample from a standard 150- mesh pulp. The samples are mixed with a litharge flux and fused forming a lead button and molten slag. The slag is removed and the lead button containing the precious metals is coupled, resulting in a precious metal bead. The final technique used to determine the gold contents of the residue is by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The final technique used to determine the precious metals (silver, lead and copper) contents of the residue is by aqua regia digestion and the solution is analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Any assay results deemed erratic by the prospective labs were re-assayed. The samples were also analyzed using the 34- element Induction Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP) method. The ICP analysis uses an approximate 0.50 gram aliquot, which is digested with hydrochloric and nitric acid in a hot water bath. The sample is then bulked to a volume of 10 ml with 7.2% hydrochloric acid and analyzed by a combination of ICP-MS (Mass Spectroscopy) and ICP-AES (Atomic Emission Spectroscopy).
DATA VERIFICATION
Specific to this report, Mr. M. Dufresne along with a crew of three junior geologists collected all the APEX samples personally. As well, to the best of the author’s ability, the samples were kept under the control of APEX, therefore the author believes this data to be of acceptable quality.
In total, 105 rock grab/composite samples were collected, including three duplicates. All samples excluding the duplicates were shipped to TSL in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (An ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Company). The three duplicate samples were collected and sent to ALS in Vancouver, B.C. (an ISO 9002 registered company). Both TSL and ALS perform standard quality assurance/ quality control (QA/QC) procedures with respect to all the rock samples that were sent for analysis. They routinely analyze analytical blank and standard samples. The data for all of these standard analyses were found to be within acceptable limits. Due to the nature of the samples a rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program was not warranted.
The author cannot comment on the quality control measures that may or may not have been taken by other companies during previous sampling programs that are discussed in the history section of this report. The author does not see any reason to question the quality, accuracy and security of the historical data.
ADJACENT PROPERTIES
Presently, two significant gold deposits exist in the region. The Meliadine property is over 80 km long with total land holdings of 72,625 hectares centered 24km west of Rankin Inlet, NU. The property is presently under two separate agreements: the Meliadine West property in which Comaplex has a 78% interest and Resource Capital 47
Fund (RCF) a 22% interest (Comaplex is the operator); and the Meliadine East property in which Comaplex and RCF each own a 50 percent working interest (RCF is the operator). The Meliadine West property consists of 52,796 hectares. Of this amount, 44,834 hectares are under Federal jurisdiction (16,233 hectares are claims, 28,601 hectares are leases) and 7,962 hectares are Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) subsurface concessions. An indicated resource estimate of 5.2 million tonnes grading 7.70 g Au/t was delineated for the Meliadine West project, The Meliadine East property consists of 19,829 hectares. Of these lands, 17,054 hectares in 18 claims come under the jurisdiction of the Federal Canadian Mining Regulations (leases) and 2775 hectares come under NTI subsurface rights. The Meliadine East Gold Property is a 50/50 joint venture between Cumberland Resources Ltd. and Comaplex Minerals Corp. and contains an indicated category resource of 1.8 million tonnes grading 6.70 g Au/t (www.comaplex.com, 2007).
The second deposit is located approximately 70 kilometres north of Baker Lake is Cumberland Resources Ltd.’s 100% owned Meadowbank Project. This project recently reported a proven and probable gold resource of 21,190,000 tonnes grading 4.8 g/t ( www.cumberlandresources.com, 2006).
MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
The geology of the Sy project area within the Yathkyed Lake Greenstone Belt is similar to other gold-bearing greenstone belts in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, including the Woodburn Lake Belt, which hosts the Meadowbank Gold Deposits and the Rankin Inlet Belt which hosts the Meliadine Gold Deposits. Each of these belts contains abundant gold-bearing banded-iron-formation host rocks which have undergone significant shearing and deformation. Although more than 40 gold occurrences have been identified on the Sy Property, the Sy iron formations and Greenstone Belt have seen only minor exploration compared to these other adjacent and comparable belts. 48
Limited historical exploration by Aberford Resources Ltd. and Homestake Ltd. (Homestake) during the mid 1980’s in this poorly exposed Archean greenstone belt resulted in the discovery of at least 20 individual high grade gold occurrences over a strike length of approximately 30 kilometres. Known gold mineralization is hosted in sheared and altered iron formation. Approximately 3,000 m of diamond drilling was conducted by Homestake in 1986 and 1987, which confirmed gold mineralization in iron formation at depth but failed to yield what would be considered potentially economic grades over mineable widths at that time. Historical surface samples from outcrops of iron formation on the “SY-13 Grid” yielded assays as high as 38.8 g/t Au. The historical 1986 and 1987 drilling yielded intercepts of up to 3.38 g/t Au over 3.5 m and 3.18 g/t Au over 7.0 m. Most if not all of the historic drilling was conducted beneath or in close proximity to known surface gold showings.
Bedrock outcrop exposure of potential host rocks for gold and base metals is extremely poor on the property and in the surrounding area. Based upon publicly available assessment reports and government geological reports there is no evidence of any historic airborne geophysical surveys conducted along the belt and there appears to have been no significant exploration since 1987. Only a small portion of the belt has been evaluated for gold and base metals, due in large part to poor outcrop exposure.
During late 2006, Kaminak engaged Fugro to conduct a DIGHEM V helicopter- borne magnetic and EM survey over a large portion of the Sy Property. The 1,178.3 line-kilometer survey yielded 690 EM anomalies that Fugro attributed to probable bedrock conductors, most of which were thought to be due to thin sources that are typical of massive sulphide responses. Many of the EM anomalies occur within magnetic units, likely iron formations, or in close proximity to their contacts, and are likely due to increases in amount of conductive sulphides. Fugro considered many of the EM anomalies in the survey area indicative of well-defined, moderate to strongly conductive bedrock zones that warrant follow-up exploration.
The purpose of the 2007 exploration program was to: (1) determine the effectiveness of the 2006 airborne survey in locating existing sulphide zones with gold and base metal potential; (2) confirm the location and presence of the historic gold showings; and (3) to assess the overall economic gold and base metal potential of the Sy Property. The field portion of the exploration program was conducted over 10 days beginning August 29, 2007. A total of 102 rock grab samples were collected and assayed for gold and trace metals. A total of 13 samples yielded gold values greater that 1 g/t Au with five samples greater then 5 g/t Au up to a high of 8.88 g/t Au. The 2007 exploration program has identified and confirmed the location and tenor of historic gold occurrences on the Sy Property. In addition, despite poor bedrock exposure directed prospecting of EM anomalies and interpreted conductors has led to the discovery of sulphide zones associated with iron formations and metavolcanics. Sampling of some of these sulphide zones in iron formation and metavolcanics has led to the discovery of new gold and base metal showings and demonstrates the usefulness of directed fieldwork based upon the airborne geophysics and the potential of the belt. 49
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon the results of the 2006 airborne geophysical survey and the 2007 exploration program, the Sy Property warrants additional exploration to determine the potential of the property to host economic gold and/or base metal deposits. A future exploration program should be phased, with the first phase to include but not be limited to detailed geological mapping, surface prospecting and sampling along with a number of ground magnetic and EM surveys. The estimated cost to conduct the Phase 1 program is $350,000 CDN. It is likely that a Phase 2 program with a certain amount of diamond drilling will be required to test some of the historic gold showings as well as unexplained prospective conductors identified by the 2006 airborne survey. However, the recommended program and associated estimated cost will be contingent on the results from Phase 1.
