WILLY, P. ENG. VP EXPLORATION, December 11, 2011 SUMMARY In September 2011, Jiminex Inc. contracted prospector Leonard Windover of Marathon, Ontario to prospect on the 2-claim unit non-contiguous claim number TB 4204055 belonging to the Northern Eagle property paying particular attention to historical trenches and to selecting samples having quartz vein and/or sulphide mineralization. Mr. Windover collected 25 rock samples which mostly assayed below detection limit for gold with the exception of one moderately geochemically-anomalous sample returning a value of 64 ppb gold from a carbonate vein. Claim TB 4204055 is a non-contiguous part of the Northern Eagle Claim Property currently under a 50-50 joint venture between Jiminex Inc. and Beaufield Resources Inc., Nepean, Ontario with Jiminex Inc. being the Operator. The Claim is located in the Hemlo-Marathon area, Northwestern, Ontario and close to the Village of Heron Bay on the Pic River First Nations reserve. Infrastructure is excellent with Trans-Canada Highway 17, a power transmission line, a Canadian Pacific rail line, the Pic River and Barrick Gold Corp.’s Hemlo gold mine all nearby. The first recorded gold discovery in the region was in 1869 when Moses Pee-Kon-Gay located mineralized showings near the present town of Heron Bay located about one km west of Claim TB 4204055. Prospecting and exploration continued from this time at sporadic and low to moderate levels up to the discovery of the Hemlo gold deposit by International Corona Mines Ltd. in March 1981. Since this time, dozens of junior mining companies and several senior companies have explored the Hemlo greenstone belt west to Marathon and east to White River. After the mines started production, the Hemlo exploration frenzy began to slow down with exploration work being done by only a few junior and major mining companies. Of the three mines established on the Hemlo deposit, the Golden Giant Mine was closed by Newmont Mining Corp. in January 2006. Barrick Gold Corp. owns the David Bell and Williams Mines which still in operation. Total gold production from the three mines on this deposit to December 31, 2010 is 20,370,271 ounces and reserves/resources are stated as 1,661,000 ounces for a total of 22,031,271 ounces of gold. The ground currently covered by Claim TB 4204055 was briefly explored by Lynx Canada Explorations in 1984 and by Hemlo Gold Mines Inc. in 1992. The most extensive work was done in 1996 by Duncan Michano, a prospector from Heron Bay, who conducted prospecting, trenching, soil sampling, geological mapping and assaying. A best assay of 2.9 gpt gold was obtained from weathered carbonate vein with quartz blebs, sericite, pink potassium alteration, varying amounts of pyrite and a trace of green mica. In 2009, Beaufield Resources Inc. flew 4 ALLAN J. WILLY, P. ENG. VP EXPLORATION, December 11, 2011 the Northern Eagle property, which includes Claim 4204055, using the VTEM and magnetic survey system of Geotech Ltd. Claim TB 4204055 is located in the east-central part of the Archean Schreiber-Hemlo greenstone belt which is situated in the northern part of the Wawa Subprovince, Superior Province of the Canadian Precambrian shield. The Hemlo portion of this greenstone belt is bounded to the north, south and east by large granitoid complexes which are the same age or older than the metavolcanics. Metamorphosed mafic volcanic flow rocks and intermediate to felsic calcalkaline volcaniclastite sedimentary rocks form the western part of the Hemlo greenstone belt, whereas metamorphosed greywacke-mudstone and minor metaconglomerate sedimentary rocks are predominant over metavolcanic rocks in the eastern part. The rock units strike easterly, have steep to vertical dips, and are isoclinally folded and normal faulted. Metamorphism is lower greenschist in the west part of the Hemlo belt up to upper amphibolite facies in the east, with the Claim TB 4204055 entirely in the greenschist zone. The geology underlying Claim TB 4204055, from the historic reports, is described as being felsic volcanics ranging from fragmentals to crystal to ash tuffs A chlorite-sericite schistose zone with pyrite was noted on the north slope of an easterly-trending valley located immediately north of the adit. This could represent the trace of the regional Hemlo-Heron Bay shear zone. The rocks are metamorphosed to greenschist facies. An adit exists near the river excavated a couple metres into a 12 metre wide carbonate vein with quartz veinlets, tourmaline and pyrite. There are two exploration target/models for Claim TB 4204055: the typical gold-bearing quartz- carbonate veins hosted in Precambrian greenstone rocks

  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.

Three of the five IDN areas correspond to three of four current sub-LHIN planning areas – Rainy River District, City of Thunder Bay (and surrounding area) and Thunder Bay District (excluding city of Thunder Bay and surrounding area). The fourth and fifth proposed IDNs are formed from the current Kenora District sub-LHIN planning area. The Northern IDN is proposed to encompass Sioux Lookout and all First Nations communities north of Sioux Lookout. The remaining part of Kenora District (including Red Lake, Kenora and Dryden) will be referred to as Kenora District IDN. The map illustrates the North West LHIN’s current sub-LHIN planning areas showing communities that have acute care hospitals. Figure 1: Map of the North West LHIN The Thunder Bay District sub-LHIN planning area of the North West LHIN corresponds to the Thunder Bay District Census Division (CD) excluding the City of Thunder Bay census subdivision and the surrounding census subdivisions of Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge, Conmee, Gillies, O’Connor, Shuniah and Fort William 52. Moving forward, it is proposed that the area will be referred to as the Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (IDN).

  • Conclusion Prevalence, Health Outcomes and Service Availability in Ontario Communities
    ICES 306 This report represents an important first step toward examining patterns of diabetes Conclusion prevalence, health outcomes and service availability in Ontario communities. The findings we present will enable local policymakers and health planners to examine the performance of key measures relevant to diabetes care in a given region or community. This information, in turn, can be used to set regional priorities for program planning and development and can help with the development of regional indicators to measure and guide improvement. LESSONS LEARNED Diabetes prevalence rates were highest in the Greater Toronto Area and in Ontario’s First Nations communities. The last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the prevalence of diabetes in Ontario, affecting all segments of the population and all regions. However, ethnic groups that have a greater predisposition for developing diabetes (those of First Nations, South Asian, African and Hispanic descent) continue to experience the greatest burden of diabetes in terms of disease prevalence and incidence. Our findings call for comprehensive, culturally appropriate diabetes prevention programs targeting high-risk communities, in addition to broader-scale policies aimed at curbing the ongoing rise in obesity and diabetes. Conclusion ICES 307 Diabetes complication rates were highest in findings underscore the need for patient- The distribution of endocrinologists was northern and rural areas of the province— centred models of chronic disease limited largely to major centres.
