SUMMARY

Falconbridge Limited has completed a surface diamond drilling program on the Normétal-Rio Algom property, project 08-736. A 4-diamond drill hole campaign (97-36- 04 to 97-36-07) totaling 877.00 metres was completed on this property from July 29th to August 12`h, 1997. Three diamond drill holes were drilled to test I.P. anomalies associated with the Grande Plaine showing. Furthermore, one diamond drill hole was drilled to verify an I.P. anomaly associated with the 1450 showing. Every hole explained the geophysical anomalies with the presence of dissiminated and/or small massive bands of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Some anomalous copper, zinc and silver values were returned from hole 97-36-05 drilled on Grande Plaine showing. No economical value was returned from either hole.

No additional work is required on this property. TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECTION 1- INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scope of work

A 4-hole diamond drilling program for 877.00 metres was conducted by Falconbridge Limited between July 29th to August 12th, 1997. Three diamond drill holes were drilled to test I.P. anomalies associated with the Grande Plaine showing. Furthermore, one diamond drill hole was drilled to verify an I.P. anomaly associated with the 1450 showing.

The following report covers the diamond drilling results returned from the Falconbridge Limited 1997 drilling program carried out on the Rio Algom Option, project 08-736. The drilling campaign was supervised by Pascal Lessard, Geologist, from Rouyn-Noranda while core logging and drill supervision were conducted in Normétal by Roch Lavoie, Associate Geologist. Core splitting and sampling were executed by Richard H. Dufresne from Normétal.

1.2 Location and Access

The property is included in range VIII, between lots 54 and 62 inclusively of the Clermont Township and is situated 18 kilometres south-east of the town of Normetal. This sector is accessible by highway 393 from and by a gravel road between ranges VIII and IX from the village of Val-Saint-Gilles. Access to the drill sites is via logging roads.

The property is covered by a spruce and poplar forest and swamps except for the northern part which is occupied by farmland. A few forest patches have been intensively lumbered, including lots 60 and 61. Outcrops are concentrated around three hills and were referred to by Rio Algom (G. Klein, 1993) as the Northeastern outcrops (from lines 1+50W to 0+50E, between 10+00 and 11+50 N), the Southeastern outcrop (from lines 1+50W to 2+50E, between 4+00 and 6+50N) and the Western outcrop (from lines 13+50W to 16+00W, between 5+50 and 7+00 N). The two last outcrop areas host the Grande Plaine and the 1450W Showings. NORMETAL PROPERTIES LOCATION MAP

SECTION 2 - GEOLOGY

2.1 Regional Geology

The following description is based on the Lithogeochemistry and Alteration report produced by S. Cattalani and P. Bambic in 1990, and on the Norcom/Normétal Projects report of A.C. Tessier dated July 1991.

The Normétal and Val-Saint-Gilles areas are located in the Gale Group volcanics (Latulippe 1976), in the Archean Abitibi Greenstone belt of Northwestern . The Gale Group volcanics forms lozenge-shaped volcano-sedimentary terrain, bounded in the North and South by the Casa-Berardi and Chicobi structural breaks, respectively (Daigneault and Archambault 1990). Regional stratigraphy of the Gale Group is poorly defined: volcanic rocks are both abundant and lithologically diverse. These include mafic, intermediate and felsic volcanic lavas and volcanoclastic rocks, epiclastic volcanics, various sediments and iron formations (Gilman 1961, Tolman 1951). The Gale Group volcanic rocks are regionally metamorphosed to the greenschist facies.

2.2 Local Geology

The Rio Algom Property is part of the northern intermediate/mafic volcanic sequence forming the stratigraphic footwall of the Sediment Marker Horizon and the Mine Sequence which host the Normetal and Normetmar Deposit. Volcanic rocks consist mainly of pillowed and massive flows intercalated by thin tuffaceous units. Felsic lavas have been recognized along the sequence though they are more abundant westward. Rhyolites display brecciated and massive (lobes and dykes) facies both aphyric and quartz-phyric. Various plutons limit the northern side including syn-tectonic Patten and Rousseau intrusions and the Val-Saint-Gilles Pluton (syn-volcanic).

The property comprises from north to south the southern fringe of the Val-Saint-Gilles tonalite intrusion overlain by a volcanic sequence ranging between 400 and 1,100 metres in thickness composed of pillowed and massive andesite which is followed by a graphitic sediment unit. These units are capped by a sericitized and carbonatized volcaniclastic- dominated rock unit called the Mine Sequence. The last units do not outcrop inside the property limits. The Val-Saint-Gilles Pluton hosts the 1450W Showing while the Grande Plaine Showing is located within the adjacent intermediate to mafic volcanic sequence.

SECTION 3 - DIAMOND DRILLING

3.1 Background of Program

The first exploration work on this property dates back to the 1940's. So far, over 10 companies have owned these claims doing work such as geological mapping, trenching, ground geophysical surveys and diamond drilling (see Table 1). In early 1996, Falconbridge Limited came to an agreement with Rio-Algom Exploration Inc., the current owner. The following Table is a brief summary of previous exploration work that was conducted on the property.

3.2 Falconbridge Drilling Procedures

Four diamond drill holes for a total of 877.00 metres of BQ sized core were drilled from July 29th to August 1211h, 1997 by Benoît Diamond Drilling of Val D'Or, Québec. The core logging was executed by R. Lavoie at the Falconbridge Limited core shack located in Normétal, Québec. Since the diamond drill hole collar locations have not been surveyed, the coordinates presented on the cross-sections are based on a grid centered on L0+00 and BLO+00. Drilling data was standardized to a scale of 1:1,000 and produced as a series of cross sections. Holes azimuth and deflection in the course of the bore holes were recorded using Sperry Sun (single shot) test at 60-metre intervals. The following drill hole collar locations refer to the geological surface plan produced by Cominco Limited during the course of mapping surveys, done in the summers of 1990 and 1991, and the Falconbridge surface plan produced in 1994.

SECTION 4 - CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS

Falconbridge Limited has completed a surface diamond drilling program on the Rio Algom property, project 08-736. A 4-diamond drill hole campaign (97-36-04 to 97-36- 07) totaling 877.00 metres was completed on this property from July 29th to August 12th, 1997. Three diamond drill holes were drilled to test I.P. anomalies associated with the Grande Plaine showing. Furthermore, one diamond drill hole was drilled to verify an I.P. anomaly associated with the 1450 showing.

The three holes associated with the Grande Plaine showing intersected the serecitized (97-36-05 and -06) or chloritized (97-36-04) felsic unit interfingered with chloritized intermediate volcanic sequences. In each case, the mineralization wich explains the I.P. anomalies is associated with intermediate volcanics. The mineralization in holes 97-36- 04 and -06, in veinlets or in foliation planes, contents 10% to 15% pyrrhotite, 1% chalcopyrite and minor pyrite, but no economical value was returned from these holes. Small (20cm) massive pyrite bands with minor chalcopyrite mineralization in hole 97-36- 05 was returned 2.06% Zn and 27.1 g/t Ag between 135.00m and 136.00m and 0.73% Cu between 146.00m and 147.00m.

Hole 97-36-07, wich drilled the 1450 showing, only intersected chloritized intermediate volcanics with tonalite at the bottom of the hole. Up to 2% chalcopyrite and 5% pyrrhotite mineralization has been found at two different depths and explained the I.P. anomaly, but no economical value was returned by these intersections.

Considering the results of the previous campaigns and this one, no additional work is required on this property.
