The property is located in the McFaulds Lake area ("Ring of Fire") in the Lowlands. The drilling tested for the presence of Cu-Ni-PGE bearing I massive sulphide mineralization in follow-up to airborne VTEM and ZTEM geophysical surveying. The South Bend property is believed to host base metal sulphide occurrences associated with heavily altered mafic I horizons, and is part of Tribute Minerals Incorporated properties comprising approximately 39,500 hectares in the McFaulds Lake area.

I The 100% owned Block 4 claim group was transferred to Tribute Minerals Incorporated from Goldeye Explorations Limited in 2009. Diamond drilling exploration work conducted by Cyr Drilling was carried I out for Tribute Minerals Inc. under the direction and supervision of Trevor Boyd P. Geo., Vice President of Exploration, Tribute Minerals Inc. and a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument (NI) 43- I 101.

I PROPERTY

I The Block 4 group of the South Bend property consists of 12 contiguous claims comprising 155 units as shown in Figure 2 and listed in Table 1.

I LOCATION, ACCESS AND PHYSIOGRAPHY I The Block 4 portion of Tribute's South Bend property is located approximately 40 km southeast of the First Nation community of Webequie, and approximately 40 km west of the Noront Resources Eagle I Nest Ni-Cu-PGE deposit in the James Bay Lowlands of . An all seasons field camp was established on the property in the Fall of 2009 on Billinger Lake approximately 30 km southeast of I Webequie. Billinger Lake is suitable for use by float or ski-equipped fixed wing aircraft, and the drill program was supported by A-star 350 B2 I helicopter. The topography of the area is unvaryingly planar and characterized by abundant creeks and rivers that erode slight trenches into the soft I marine clays covering much of the Lowlands. The area is situated at an elevation of approximately 190 metres above sea level. Drainage is poor due to the lack of relief, and consequently inland areas remain water­ I logged throughout the year with extensive development of string bogs. Vegetation consists predominantly of black spruce along with grasses, I sedges, low shrubs, and sparse, stunted trees.

I PREVIOUS WORK

In March 2008, 155 line-km of VTEM surveying was completed on Block I 4 by Geotech Limited for Goldeye Explorations Limited. In June 2009, Geotech Limited completed 143 line-km of ZTEM surveying on Block 4 for Tribute Minerals. An interpretive report on VTEM surveying was I prepared for Tribute Minerals by JVX Limited in November 2009. I REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND METALLOGENY

I Overburden consists of thick layers of glacial tills and clays which overlie flat-lying Paleozoic carbonates of the Hudson Bay Platform occurring in the eastern part of the McFaulds Lake area. However, the Paleozoic rocks I thin out and disappear to the west in the area of Tribute's South Bend property. Available airborne geophysical data together with sparse gravity I and diamond drill data can be used to infer the Precambrian geology of the region. Magnetic patterns suggest that the basement complex is made up of volcanic and sedimentary Sachigo greenstone belt sequences I interlayered and separated by large volumes of granite gneisses along the margin of a batholithic granodiorite pluton. Highly magnetic ultramafic I intrusion(s) have been emplaced both along and cross cutting the I 4 I

I granodiorite pluton. Currently, the main targets of Tribute's exploration programs are copper, nickel, and PGE's associated with magmatic massive sulphide deposits derived from ultramafic intrusions and related I rocks. I CURRENT PROGRAM

I Diamond drill hole SB-1 0-11 was drilled in order to test a deeply buried VTEM airborne anomaly hosted within a major northwest trending high total magnetic intensity anomaly, and lying underneath an interpreted I thick layer of conductive overburden. The drill hole (Figure 3) was I completed during February 24-28, 2010 as follows: Drill Hole UTM- NAD 83 Azimuth/Dip Depth I Number Coordinates (degrees) (feet) (Claim 4225101) I SB-10-11 506050E,5839680N 180/-65 956.0 Drilling intersected mafic, and intermediate to felsic volcanic tuffs I interlayered with gneissic to massive granitic rocks, and sections of biotite + strong magnetite enrichment with minor disseminations of pyrrhotite + pyrite in fractures. A total of 11 samples of were collected by I sawing lengths of core in half. At the time writing assay results are pending. The drill log and section are shown in Appendices 1 and 2. I I RECOMMENDATIONS Tribute Minerals is awaiting results of assaying on samples collected from drill hole SB-1 0-11 to better determine the next phase of explora­ I tion work on its Block 4 claim group.
