1. INTRODUCTION
This report details the results of the drill campaign carried out in
March 1988 by Venturex International Mining Corp. on the Rochebaucourt property located in Rochebaucourt and La Morandiere Township, North- western Quebec. In 1988, Venturex International entered into an option agreement with Greater-Pacific Investments (GPI) through their wholly owned subsidiary 697895 Ontario Ltd. allowing GPI to earn a 50.1% interest in the property by expending $750,000 by 1991.
Line cutting and geophysical surveys were conducted by Meegwich Surveys
Inc. of Rouyn, Quebec. Report and maps of geophysics are appended.
Geophysical interpretation was carried out by J. Hansen of Geotest report appended.
2. LOCATION, ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The property is located approximately 80 km north northeast of Val d'Or and 30 km north of the town of Barraute.
Access is excellent via paved highway 397 and secondary roads which cross the property. The Canadian National Railway line linking Chibougamau and
Val d'Or cuts the east central part of the property. A high tension
Quebec Hydro power line cut the west central portion of the property.

4. REGIONAL AND PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The area is heavily till covered, outcrops are scarce and therefore geological interpretation is difficult. Information is limited to a few drill holes and regional airborne geophysical data. Geological inter- pretation suggests that the property covers the contact between and east- westerly trending, dominantly sedimentary group referred to as the
Castignier Group and a north-westerly trending mafic volcanic sequence which includes minor metasedimentary units. A large granitoid intrusive body lies directly to the east of the property and several north-easterly trending diabase dykes cross-cut the region.
5. PREVIOUS WORK
Very little exploration activity has actually taken place over much of the claim group and surrounding ground. Regional airborne geophysical surveys cover the property and eratic work has been carried out including the examination of various EM anomalies on small grids followed by one or more drill holes.
The following is a list of the more important surveys and discoveries on record at the Quebec Department of Mines Assessment Data Files. 6.
1913 mapping by Welson; GSC Map 100A (Bell River Geology)
1937 mapping by Weeks; GSC Map 553A (Rochebaucourt Geology)
1947 Aldous Prospect
An altered and mineralized shear zone within mafic metavolcanics was
discovered by prospecting along the La Flame River, 7 kilometres
northwest of the village of Rochebaucort.
The unaltered host rocks consist of pillowed and amygdaloidal
basalts showing an east-west foliation possessing weak carbonate
alteration. The shear zone is about 50 metres wide and strikes 080°
with an attitude of 75'N. Because rock is poorly exposed the total
strike length is unknown but has been traced on surface for about 54
metres. The actual showing is a 2-6 metre wide zone of silici-
fication in a grey, carbonatized mafic volcanic carrying 2-5% pyrite
and minor chalcopyrite. Auriferous quartz veins, which also carry
minor tourmaline, fill tension fractures but are only a minor
component of the rock. Surface sampling graded up to 0.32 oz Au/t
over 2.6 ft (assessment records). In 1947 11 holes totalling 2,148
ft were drilled with the best assays being 0.244 oz Au/t over 5.8,
and 0.231 oz Au/t over 5 ft. Only one hole is filled and records
0.91 oz Au/t over a 5 ft core length. The mineralization is
apparently associated with disseminated pyrite. 7.
1955
Unnamed company searching for gold intersected a 5 ft massive
carbonate zone in a sericite schist containing quartz stringers.
The log records no assays.
1957 Iron Formation Occurrence.
In 1957 Nimrod Mining and East Sullivan Mines examined an anomalous
area with coincident EM/Mag targets and discovered (by diamond
drilling) a NE trending pyrite/pyrrhotite bearing iron formation
(IF) within a sedimentary host 12 kilometres northeast of the
Rochebaucort claims. This iron enriched, conformable horizon
strikes 070-090° probably over a distance of several kilometres.
Some silicified-carbonatized sections were noted along with very
weak copper mineralization however 6 diamond drill holes totalling
1,284 metres did not intercept any elevated base-metal mineral-
ization. The sediments are enclosed by mafic volcanics and intruded
by dykes of diorite and quartz porphyry. No gold assays are
indicated in the records.
1963-1965 Noranda-Metal Mines
This syndicate from about 1963 to 1965 explored a portion of the
Rochebaucourt township presumably in search of massive sulphide ore. 8.
A total of 13 scattered drill holes tested EM targets in and around
the claim group but no base-metal mineralization was discovered.
In the eastern half of the claim group (Lot 60, Range VII and Lot
62, Range VIII; La Morandiere Twp.) a potentially auriferous rock
was cut. In two holes an altered, siliceous, sericitic, quartz and
carbonate rich intrusive with sections peppered with pyrite was
intersected over a minimum core length of 60 metres. In both
instances the holes were stopped in the pyritiferous, carbonatized
rock with only on 0.4 metre quartz rich section assayed for gold.
Noranda removed the gold assay value from the drill log.
1967-1970 Soquem
A detailed regional map of all past work covering 11 townships, of
which La Morandiere and Rochebaucourt were two, was compiled by
Soquem. The company recommended and carried out gravity and EM
surveys in selected areas in order to locate coincident EM and
greater than 0.4 milligal gravity anomalies. This work was directed
towards indicating the presence of buried massive sulphide bodies.
These surveys were followed up with numerous, shall Pionjar holes
and only one diamond drill hole (not within the area of influence).
The results were uninspiring. 9.
1973 Umex
The company tested on SE 20 vertical loop conductor with two diamond
drill holes, both of which intersected graphitic lenses in meta-
sediments. Of interest, however, is the presence of strong carbo-
nate alteration noted in both of the holes. The iron carbonate was
logged as both a matrix to the sericite-quartz feldspar schists and
as stringers and streaks. As far as is known the core was not
analyzed for gold.
1978-80 Serem
The company ran several surveys during their search for massive
sulphides in the area. The core was analyzed for gold as well as
base metals and nothing of interest is recorded.
1984-86 Canamax Resources Ltd.
The company carried out a comprehensive regional evaluation of their
large land holding adjoining the Venturex property to the north.
6. DIAMOND DRILLING
The diamond drill program carried out in March 1988 resulted in a total of 2,209 ft being drilled in a total of 6 holes scattered over the
property. 10.

NOTE: All DDH collared at a dip of -50'
6.1 DOH R-1
DDH R-1 was collared at 75+90W/3+OOS on the west grid at an azimuth of
045' and a dip of -50'. The hole reached a total depth of 258 ft. The
target of this hole was a north-northwest conductor and a coincident
magnetic low.
• The drilling encountered 50 ft of overburden and then entered a
relatively massive unit of intermediate to felsic composition. This unit
would not be magnetically susceptible and therefore probably represents
the magnetic low unit. The last 30 ft of the hole encountered graphitic
and sulfidic mudstone, well laminated with quartz-carbonate alteration
along foliations. The graphite in this unit would represent a strong
conductor and the sulfide present is almost exclusively pyrite therefore 11.
a low magnetic responses would be expected from this unit. Represent- ative Assays from this drill hole range from 14 ppb to a high of 140 ppb
Au over 5 ft in the sulfidic sediment.
6.2 DDH R-2
DDH R-2 was collared at 32+OOW/5+55S, on the north grid at an azimuth of
180° and a dip of -50°. The hole reached a total depth of 418 ft. The target of this drilling was a north west trending conductor with a coincided mag spike.
The drilling encountered 60 ft of overburden before penetrating 233 ft of metasedimentary mudstone to greywackes. This unit is moderate to strongly graphitic between 231 ft and 299 ft and would represent the conductor. Pyrrhotite present within the graphitic unit would also account for the magnetic spike. From 299-418 ft the mafic volcanic display moderate sericite/ carbonate alteration and minor to 1% disseminated py.
This hole generally displayed moderate structural and alteration throughout suggests proximity to a major shear/break. Geochemical sampling suggest a slightly elevated background with value between 25-63 ppb Au over an interval of 5 ft. 12.
6.3 DDH R-3
DDH R-3 was collared at 22+OOW/1+05S on the gravel pit grid at an azimuth
of 180° and a dip of -50' . The hole reached a total depth of 465 ft.
The target of this drilling was an east-west conductor with a slight mag
decrease. This hole was designed to investigate a splay close to the
interpreted major break.
The drilling encountered 130 ft of overburden before penetrating 157 ft
of argillitic metasediments. This unit is moderate to strongly graphitic
(ie a conductor) with a well developed lamination/foliation cross-cut by
a second cleavage. Carbonate is abundant as is pyrite. This unit has a
well developed shear structure and is moderately alterated. The
remaining 178 ft of core consists of a sheared and altered mafic
volcanic. Strong shearing and quartz carbonate alteration of the matrix
gives a banded appearance to this unit and the sericite alteration of the
matrix imparts a bleached appearance to the rock. Variable sulfide
mineralization is present as fine to medium grained disseminated pyrite.
Assay values from this hole ranged from 9-56 ppb. A few samples tested for Ag returned values between 1.5 and 1.8 ppm over 5 ft.
6.4 DDH R-4
DDH R-4 was collared at 7+50W/3+25S (east grid extension) at an azimuth of 360° and a dip of -50°. The hole reached a total depth of 414 ft. 13.
The target of this drilling was a strong conductor south of the
interpreted major break.
The location selected for drilling illustrates the break conductor in trends from northwest to east-west. The ground magnetics and electro-
magnetics both suggest a north easterly cross-fault.
The drilling encountered 170 ft of overburden before penetrating 244 ft of interlayered altered mafic volcanic and argillitic sediments. A diorite dyke cut these units between 204.6 ft and 311.8 ft. Samples assayed from this hold returned values between 11-23 ppb Au. The depth of overburden may have resulted in the hole passing north of the conductive horizon though weak graphite is present in the upper most sediment of this hole. The diorite dyke may be following the north easterly trend of the interpreted cross- fault.
6.5 DDH R-5
DDH R-5 was collared at 34+50W/2+75N (north grid extension) at an azimuth of 300' and a dip of -50'. The hole reached a total depth of 418 ft.
The target of the drilling was an interpreted north easterly trending fault interpreted from a disruption in magnetic data. No conductor is present in this area. 14.
The drilling encountered 60 ft of overburden before penetrating 358 ft of
mafic volcanic. This volcanic displayed relatively little alteration or
deformation. A slight increase in structure/alteration was noted down
hole. These volcanic were weak to moderately magnetic corresponding to a
northwesterly trending geophysical signature. Samples assayed from this
hole ranged between 7 and 23 ppb Au.
6.6 DDH R-6
DDH R-6 was collared at 41+OOW/0+60N (lot 60 Range VIII La Morandiere
Twp.) at an azimuth of 360' and a dip of -50°. The hole reached a total
depth of 236 ft. The target of this drilling was to intercept the
sericite quartz carbonate intrusive reported by Noranda Mines drill
campaign in 1963. •
The drilling encountered 84 ft of overburden before penetrating 152 ft of
weakly altered/deformed mafic volcanic. Samples assayed from this hole
returned values between 16 and 64 ppb Au. One of the Noranda holes (lot
60, Range VII) indicated that the intrusive was overlain by 290 ft of volcanics in this area, hence DDH R-6 may not have been deep enough to intercept the intrusive. 15.
7. CONCLUSIONS
1. The majority of the property has not been systematically eval-
uated for gold potential.
2. Indicators suggest that the property follows a major west-
northwest trending shear structure and therefore has excellent
potential to host gold.
3. The interpreted Geology has been partially confirmed by the
limited drill programme, including indications of strongly
deformed and sheared units coinciding with the interpreted
major break.
4. Good sulphide mineralization in the majority of the sediments
and some of the mafic volcancis along with elevated background
gold values in samples of drill core suggest a possible hydro-
thermal gold system is operational in the area.
8. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A more detailed geophysical evaluation of the property should be
carried out in an attempt to: 16.
a) provide a better understanding of the lithological and
structural nature of the property;
b) approximate overburden thickness in a hope to identify
structural patterns from bedrock topography; and
c) provide a basis to spot further drill holes.
2. An additional 10,000 ft of diamond drilling is warranted to
follow up on the results of geophysics and evaluate gold
potential of the break. APPENDIX I

The geophysical surveys, consisting of
magnetics and Horizontal Loop EM, were
conducted on 3 newly cut grids herein
referred to as the North Grid Extension, the
Center Grid, and the East Grid Extension.
All the linecutting was done at 100 meter
line spacing with the station. interval at 25
meters. On the North Grid Extension there
was 7.0 km. of line cut from the baseline of
0.6 km which has an azimuth of 090 degrees.
The Center Grid has 7.2 km of line cut from
the 0.8 km baseline striking at 135 degrees.
The East Grid Extension is larger containing
11.0 km. of crosslines cut from a baseline
striking east-west for a distance of 1.0 km.
The total linecutting for the three grids is
27.6 km. The surveys were conducted on 25.2
km. of crosslines.
MAGNETOMETER SURVEY:
A Scintrex MP-2 proton precession
magnetometer capable of +/-1 gamma resolution
was used for the survey. Readings were taken
at 25 meter intervals.
MEEGWICH INC The magnetics on the North Grid Extension
reveal three narrow responses striking north-
westerly. The trend of these longitudinal
responses appear to be interrupted by
faulting at right angles. Values associated
with these highs range from 100-500 gammas
above background.
The low readings under the power lines are
not true readings and should be ignored.
On the Center Grid the magnetic responses are
striking again to the northwest. A bull's eye
high within the main response is found on L
3+00 S at 0+25 W. The possibility of north
east faulting is apparent here as well. The
main high stops abruptly where a low is
situated on L 1+00 N at 0+25 E.
A highly magnetic body is partially covered
on the East Grid Extension. This response
.can be seen flanking the baseline in the
north most section of the grid. The readings
here range up to 8,000 gammas from a
background level of 400 gammas. A 200 meter
wide response branches off the main high in a
MEEGWICH INC southerly direction. Here the readings are only 100 gammas above the local background.
HORIZONTAL LOOP EM:
The horizontal loop EM survey was conducted using an Apex Maxmin II instrument. Readings were taken at 25 meter intervals on the 444 and 1777 Hz. channels. A reference cable of • 150 meters in length was used for the coil separation.
Generally speaking the conductors encountered on this property are very strong and well defined.
Conductor "J" on the North Grid Extension is found in the extreme southwest corner of the grid. It is a strong conductor flanking a magnetic high.
Conductor on the Center Grid, is coincident in location with the magnetic response on' this grid. This anomaly arcs gently from one side of the grid to the other and is strongest in conductivity where the bull's eye magnetic high is located.
MEEGWICH INC Conductor "L" located on the East Grid
Extension strikes northwesterly continuing
off the grid to the northwest but - appears to
peter out in the opposite direction. This
anomaly is strong and linear similar to the
other conductors encountered in the survey.
Conductor "M" is a weak conductor striking in
an easterly direction 100 meters south of the
baeline. It intersects conductor "L" at
8+50 W, 2+00 S. Another conductor, "N", is
found between "L" and "M". This anomaly is
. segmented (interupted) before continuing
easterly onto an older grid surveyed the
previous year by the Rochebaucourt Syndicate.
V - CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
The geophysical results from these surveys
show the geology trending northwest for the
most part with probable perpendicular
faulting.
Further testing by diamond drilling is
recommended where the northeast trending
faults intersect the conductor axis and the
magnetic responses. Particular attention
should be paid to areas where there is both
MEEGWICH INC an EM anomaly and a magnetic high. The drilling will reveal the nature of the geophysical anomalies and vital geologic information not known at this time.

Comments on GEOPHYSICAL EXPLORATION TARGETS

INTRODUCTION
The writer has reviewed airborne geophysical data from Quebec Government
Open File Reports DP 763 and DP 764 and evaluated it in terms of sets of ground geophysical data gathered by Meegwich Inc. for Venturex
International Mining Inc.
The ground geophysics was used to localize specific exploration targets originally selected from airborne data, several targets were subsequently tested by diamond drilling.
COMMENTS ON INDIVIDUAL TARGETS
R-1 WEST GRID
The target is a northwesterly trending conductor on the flank of a low amplitude magnetic anomaly. The target zone appears to be on the same trend as a gold zone drilled by Canamax approximately 1 kilometre to the
north.
The probability of locating pyrite mineralization is high. The hole will
intersect airborne Conductor 22 and ground Conductor A.
R-2 NORTH GRID
The target is a northwesterly trending electromagnetic conductor coincident with a sharp, low amplitude magnetic anomaly. The regional
airborne magnetics suggests a possible northeasterly fault intersecting the magnetic trends, the northeasterly fault is not clearly identified on the ground magnetic map.
The hole will intersect airborne Conductor 17 and ground Conductor C.
Fault F-5 may also be intersected.
The cause of the anomaly is pyrite/pyrrhotite and/or graphite.
R-3 GRAVEL PIT GRID
The target is an electromagnetic conductor in a region of sericitized sediments with quartz carbonate veinlets. It is located close to a major contact or break where northwesterly trending geological units merge with east-west trending units. The hole will intersect the northern extremity of airborne Conductor 10 where it merges with east-west fault/contact F2. The airborne conductor was located on the ground and labelled "H". Weakly negative magnetic anomalies immediately south of the conductor may be indicative of some alteration.
The cause of the conductor is probably graphite or pyrite.
R-4 EAST GRID EXTENSION
The target is almost identical to R-3 and is located approximately 3 kilometers due east of R-3. The Conductor at R-4 is considerably stronger than R-3. The location selected for drilling illustrates the break in trends from northwest to east-west. The ground magnetics and electromagnetics both suggest a northeasterly crossfault intersecting the units on Lines 7 and 8W. Contact F-2 may also be intersected.
The hole will intersect the northern extremity of airborne Conductor 7 where it merges with Conductor 3. Both conductors were confirmed by ground geophysics.
The cause of the conductor is probably graphite and sulphides. R-5 CENTRE GRID
The target is the interpreted intersection of east-west Fault F-1 and north-easterly Fault F-7. If the airborne interpretation is correct, the intersection of the two faults should coincide with a Conductor (#16).
The location provides an opportunity to sample a structural (break) feature approximately 1 kilometre further south than the previous holes.
The electromagnetic conductor is somewhat weaker at the point selected for drilling.
The probable source is graphite but sulphides may also be present.
R-6 NORTH GRID EXTENSION
The target is a northeasterly trending Fault F-6 which may extend northeastward to the Aldous Gold Prospect (0.24 oz/t/5.8 ft). Work by
Cambior on immediately adjacent ground has identified altered intrusive which are silicified, carbonatized with quartz carbonate and disseminated pyrite.
An electromagnetic conductor is not present but an altered silicified unit is a possibility. However, the geophysics on the North Grid
Extension has not revealed a specific diamond drill target.
