Evaluation of the Meston Lake Property 'l l 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Meston Lake gold prospect is located in northwestern Ontario approximately 60 kilometres north-northeast of the First Nations community of Sachigo Lake. A helicopter supported reconnaissance evaluation program consisting of geological mapping and sampling was undertaken on the property during September 2010. 1.1 Location, Access and Physiography The Meston Lake property is centred at latitude 54° 16'N and longitude 91° 45'W (NTS mapsheet 53 J/4) within the Red Lake Mining District of northwestern Ontario. Owing to the absence of aircraft accessible lakes in the immediate area, the prospect is best accessed by helicopter from the First Nations community of Sachjgo Lake, located ] approximately 60 km to the south-southwest (Figure 1). Sachigo Lake has no year-round road access and is accessible only by air. The community is serviced by a 3500' gravel airstrip with daily air service to Sioux Lookout, Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. During the winter months, the community receives the majority of heavy freight, diesel oil and non-perishable foodstuffs via a winter road which originates in Pickle Lake. Sachigo Lake is a member of the Windigo First Nations Council and Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Approximately 450 persons reside in the community which features a nursing station, schools and stores for provisioning. Lodging and accommodation during the field evaluation were provided by the Sachigo Lake First Nation from its Echoing Lake Lodge which is located at the south end of J Echoing Lake approximately 35 km west of the Meston Lake property (Figure 1). The topography of the Meston Lake area is similar to other glaciated portions of the J Canadian Shield wherein low rolling hills are frequently interspersed with numerous lakes and swamps. The topography and regional drainage of the area is extremely subdued and slopes gently towards the north. The regional drainage is northward through the Stull, Echoing and Sachigo rivers which merge with the Gods and Severn rivers flowing into Hudson Bay. J Outcrop exposure throughout the Meston Lake area is seen to be very sparse (5-1 0%) and is largely limited to the shores of larger lakes. Till cover and glaciolacustrine clays are extensive across the project area, with large tracts covered by mature stands of pine, spruce, poplar and birch typical of that of a coniferous boreal forest. Cedar, alder and tamarack predominate in more swampy areas. Evidence of recurring forest fires is plainly seen everywhere, with most of the work area having been exposed to intense burning within the last eight to ten years. The climate of northwestern Ontario is classified as a cold temperate continental climate. J On average, Sachigo Lake receives only 145 frost free days each year. The warmest month is July with an avere~ge daily temperature of 16.2°C. The coldest month is January with an average daily temperature of -23. 7°C. On average, Sachigo Lake receives 609 j mm of precipitation each year, 37% of which is received as snowfall. Snow begins to accumulate in the area during October each year and generally persists into April. Lakes in the work area are generally frozen over between December and May. J J l 1.2 Dispositions and Ownership As summarized in Table 1 and shown in Figure 2, the Meston Lake project area consists J of four contiguous claims arrayed in a single rectangular block. Each claim consists of 16 units. Annual assessment requirements on the claims are $25,600.00 per annum. l Table 1: Table of Dispositions - Meston Lake Property. Claim Number Geographic Anniversary Expenditure n Number of Units Location Date Requirement 4250851 16 Hanson River Area 9/16/2011 $6,400.00 4250852 16 Matthews Lake Area 9/16/2011 $6,400.00 4250853 16 Winters Lake Area 9/16/2011 $6,400.00 4250854 16 Fran9ois Lake Area 9/16/2011 $6,400.00 J Total 64 $25,600.00 All of the claims are 100% owned by Northern Superior Resources Inc. and are unencumbered. 2.0 GEOLOGY 2.1 Previous Mapping In 1936, V.B. Meen, J. Satterly and D.L. Downie working variously for the Ontario Department of Mines and Geological Survey of Canada completed the first reconnaissance scale (1 "=2 mile) geological mapping in the region in an easterly arc J extending from Stull Lake to the Sachigo River, and as far south as Sachigo Lake. The area was revisited in the late 1960's as part of the Ontario Department of Mines Operation Lingman Lake (Bennett and Riley, 1969) when a 20,000 square mile area of northwestern Ontario was mapped at a scale of I inch to 2 miles. More recently, the Meston Lake area has been the focus of a collaborative mapping project undertaken by the Ontario Geological Survey, Manitoba Geological Survey and Geological Survey of Canada (Stone eta!., 2001; Skulski eta/., 2000; Davis and Stott, 2001 ). From 1995-2001, the joint federal-provincial NATMAP initiative conducted regional geological mapping concurrent with sampling and analysis of material for lithogeochemistry, thermobarometry and isotopic and geochronological studies over a 12,000 km 2 area across the northern Superior Province. The bedrock mapping was focused primarily within a 120 km long, north-south transect across a series of east­ southeast trending greenstone belts interspersed with plutonic areas and major faults which rim of the Superior Province. J 2.2 Regional Geology The Meston Lake property is located within the Sachigo Subprovince of the Archean Superior Province. As seen in Figure 3, the Sachigo Subprovince is comprised of the North Caribou terrane and Northern Superior superterrane along with intervening 2 Northern Superior Resources Inc. Evaluation of the Meston Lake Property accreted Munroe Lake and Oxford Lake - Stull Lake terranes. To the south, the subprovince is bounded by the Berens River and Uchi subprovinces which comprise felsic plutonic and greenstone dominated terranes respectively (Skulski eta/., 2000). To the northwest, the Sachigo Subprovince terminates against the Pikwitonei granulite terrane which is transitional to the early Proterozoic Trans-Hudson Orogeny. To the north and east, the Sachigo terrrane is overlain by Paleozoic platform strata of the Hudson Bay Lowlands (Figure 3). In northern Ontario and Manitoba, the Sachigo Subprovince is transected by the Stuii­ Wunnumin Fault Zone (SWFZ), a northwest trending transcrustal megafault (Stott, 1990) which extends for over 600 km from north of Lansdowne House, Ontario to Oxford Lake, Manitoba. In regional airborne magnetic coverage, the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault is characterized by a linear magnetic low that closely follows the margins of a successive series of greenstone belts, including the Bartman-Lavoie, Peeagwon, Wunnumin, Big Trout, Swan Lake, Stull Lake and God's Lake belts. The linear magnetic fabrics of the greenstone belts are seen to curve clockwise into parallelism with the main break on the northeast side of the Stuii-Wunnumin Fault, indicating dextral movement (Osmani eta/., 1989). Aeromagnetic interpretation and outcrop mapping indicate that the SWFZ comprises a 2-5 kilometre wide strike-slip duplex containing numerous splays and fault .

I acknowledge the relationship that the original custodians, Canada’s Indigenous Peoples,1 have with the surrounding lands referred to as northwestern Ontario. As a new Asian settler in Canada, I believe that recognizing the land on which we exist as settlers is an important part of the progression of acknowledgments, recognition, and appreciation leading to reconciliation. The ongoing process of building reciprocal relations is based on respect. A new settler has a “mother country” with thriving cultures to go back to at any point of time. But for the Indigenous peoples it is all here. This is their home. And, thus, there is a need to learn about the history of Indigenous People across Turtle Island. Taking part through deliberate actions throughout the research period, I educated myself about Canada’s colonial history and became an active and compassionate ally to Indigenous Peoples.
