INTRODUCTION Goldbrook Ventures Inc. (GBK) conducted prospecting, geological mapping and sampling work on its Belanger and Bravo properties, in Nunavik Québec, from July to September in 2007. The two properties are part of six claim blocks owned 100% by GBK, namely Wakeham, Ungava, Masuparia, Nuvilik , Bravo and Belanger. The purpose of the summer 2007 prospecting and geological mapping program was to continue to explore for magmatic nickel sulfide deposits, in conjunction with airborne geophysical surveys, ground geophysical surveys, and diamond drilling that were also conducted in the summer of 2007. Prospecting and mapping was conducted in 13 areas on the GBK property, including Bravo West, Bravo East, Delta South, Delta East, Echo, Hellcat, Kozmo, Pillow Lake, East Pillow, PAD, R2, SuperFortress and Timtu. The following compilation report is a summary of the geology encountered in these areas together with assay results for select samples. At the end of the 2007 exploration season, 361 geological stations had been made and 93 grab samples had been collected for assay analysis. Appendix 2 and 3 contain all the raw geological and geochemical data, respectively. All grab samples were sent to ACCURASSAY Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario and the samples were analysed for base and precious metals. Assay certificates have been included in Appendix 4 of this report. Several areas showed favourable geology and encouraging assay results, and maps with the best nickel, copper and PGE+Au grades have been included in this report. Several geologists were responsible for mapping and prospecting in the summer of 2007, and Appendix 1 is a stand alone report compiled by M. Liard, one of the six geologists. The property geology section in this report is a compilation and summary of the notes made by the above mentioned geologists. Recommendations and suggestions for further exploration in 2008 are primarily based on their comments. 5 GOLDBROOK VENTURES INC. Geological Mapping & Prospecting 2007 2. LOCATION AND ACCESS The Wakeham, Ungava, Masuparia, Nuvilik, Belanger and Bravo properties are located within National Topographic System (NTS) sheets 25E/05, 35F/01, 35F/02, 35F/08, 35G/04, 35G/05, 35G/06, 35G/07, 35G/09, 35G/10, 35G/11, 35H/12, 35H/05, 35H/09, 35H/11, 35H/02, 35H/06, 35H/07, 35H/08, 35H/10, and 35H/11 (Fig. 1) in northern Quebec (Nunavik). The centre of the project area is located approximately 10 km south of Xstrata's (Katinniq) mine. From the centre, the project area extends 70 km to the east and 100 km to the west and southwest (Fig. 2). The hamlet of Salluit located on the arctic coast approximately 93 km north of the properties, serves as the primary access point to the project area, with daily scheduled commercial flights (First Air, Air Inuit) from Montreal, Ottawa and Igaluit. Heavy equipment, fuel and freight can be shipped to Kangiqsujuaq by ocean barge, with arrivals in July, August and September, and transported to the field area by ski-equipped aircraft before the spring ice-breakup or by large helicopter (e.g., B214ST or Sikorsky S61). The base of field operations for the Goldbrook Raglan Project was the Guindeau camp, located on the south shore of Lac Guindeau (572282 mE, 6828269 mN; NAD 83 Zone 18). During the summer, the properties are best accessed by helicopter. Float planes can land at the Esker Lake airstrip and supplies transported by helicopter 30 km east to Guindeau camp. There are at least three other airstrips in the region: Katinniq (Raglan mine), Purtuniq (Asbestos Hill), and Deception Bay. The Katinniq airstrip is a private airfield controlled by Xstrata Nickel (formerly Falconbridge Ltd). The remaining airstrips are listed in the 1995 VFR Aeronautic Navigational Map as abandoned and in uncertain condition. 6 GOLDBROOK VENTURES INC.
