1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On September 18, 2010, Ken Galambos and Nicole Pinkerton flew to the property from the nearby camp at Coles Creek to conduct an appraisal of the property. Access was gained by Astar-B2 helicopter, on hire from Canadian Helicopters from Smithers, BC and based at the Coles Creek camp. The main creek bisecting the property was prospected over approximately 1.6km from the contact between the lower Cretaceous sediments and volcanics below the Price showing to as high up the left fork as was possible during the one day visit. The Price showing was not located during the brief visit to the property but sulphide mineralization hosted by north-easterly trending shear zones to the west was sampled. It is not clear if this mineralization was previously sampled. .

2.4 Scope This report describes the September prospecting program, geology, previous exploration history and mineral potential of the Kate Project, research including a review of the historical work that related to the immediate and surrounding area of the property. Regional geological data and current exploration information have been reviewed to determine the geological setting of the mineralization and to obtain an indication of the level of industry activity in the area. The property was examined and evaluated by Ken Galambos and Nicole Pinkerton and consisted of limited geological mapping, rock and geochemical sampling of the available bedrock. 3.0 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION 3.1 Location and Access The Kate project area is situated in west-central British Columbia on mapsheet 93E11W approximately 16 km SW of the Huckleberry mine site and 131km south of the community of Smithers, BC. The claims lie immediately west of Mt. Baptiste. The property was accessed using a contract helicopter based in the Coles Creek camp approximately 14km southeast of the property. The claims lie within the Omineca Mining Division and are administered out of Smithers, BC. 3.2 Physiography and Vegetation The general area of the Kate property is located in the Tahtsa Ranges near the north-western edge of the Interior Plateau, on the eastern flank of the Coast Mountains. The property covers the eastern side of a steep mountain peak and an ice field is situated at its extreme western edge. Much of the property lies above timber line which is situated at between 1250m and 1400m. Here, scrub alder, willow and dwarf balsam fir cover the hillside while lower in elevation, balsam fir and spruce dominate. Outcrop is scarce over much of the area beyond what is seen in the creek and along ridges at higher elevations. There is little or no exposure on the lower slopes below approximately 1300 m elevation or in the broad valley bottom to the east.

Plate 2: Google image, looking north, showing approximate claim coverage. 4.0 HISTORY The first documented work in the area was a geochemical bulk silting program by Union Carbide. The first claims in the area were staked on behalf of Union Carbide Canada Limited in late 1982 and transferred to Canamax Resources Inc. the following spring. Canamax discovered a small massive sulphide lens in volcanic rocks on a creek that hosted a bulk silt anomaly as well as elevated values from a heavy mineral concentrate sampling program. The company

conducted prospecting and soil geochemical surveys over various parts of the property but did not follow up on any of the anomalies produced. The ground lapsed and was acquired by Equity Silver Mines Ltd. in 1987. Equity completed programs of prospecting and soil geochemical sampling in 1987 which expanded the area around anomalies previously discovered. The company drilled the property in 1989 with four BQTW core holes totaling 457.4m. Equity held the ground until 2000 when the claims were allowed to lapse. The property has been held by various individuals up until October 2009 when it was acquired by the author. 5.0 GEOLOGICAL SETTING 5.1 Regional Geology The Kate project area lies within the Stikinia Terrane, immediately east of the main granitic and metamorphic rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex. Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group-Telkwa Formation calc-alkaline volcanic rocks and middle Jurassic Smithers Formation undivided sedimentary rocks are the oldest rock units in the area. Overlying the Hazelton Group in the claim region and to the north are sediments of the Lower Cretaceous Skeena Group and a thick sequence of subaerial andesitic volcanic rocks of the Kasalka Group. Intimately related to Cretaceous volcanism are various quartz diorite and granodiorite intrusions grouped as Bulkley or Kasalka type. MLJG

Block faulting, ring and radial faults, and subsequent intrusion by dykes and/or hydrothermal fluids may have affected a large part of the area between Tahtsa and Troitsa lakes where a large caldera, 22 km in diameter, is believe to have formed during Cretaceous volcanism. A large body of Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex (?) intrusive rocks core this collapse feature. The Kate property (Price showing) lies immediately east of this large pluton.

5.2 Property Geology The Kate property is underlain, in large part, by lower-Cretaceous Skeena Group Mt. Ney undivided volcanic rocks and undivided sedimentary rocks; and upperCretaceous Kasalka Group andesitic volcanic rocks. Intruding into these rocks is a large Eocene intrusive stock of the Coast Plutonic Complex(?). The younger intrusive has domed the overlying rocks and created a fabric of ENE and NNW faults. Some of the NE structures appear to have been pre-existing as evidenced by the late-Cretaceous Kasalka Plutonic Suite, granodioritic intrusive rocks present immediately east and south of the property.

6.0 MINERALIZATION Alteration and mineralization seen from previous exploration programs included small zones of sulphide mineralization occurring in the volcanic rocks exposed in the main creek. These podiform and fracture filling mineralization is comprised primarily of pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The main Price showing consists of a 2m x 0.5m pod of massive sulphides containing a weighted average from three chip samples of 14.6% Zn, 1.9% Cu, 0.33% Pb, 55gm/t Ag, 0.70gm/t Au and 5.42% As with values up to 905gm/t Ag and 24.7gm/t gold reported in earlier programs. Best results from the limited 1989 drilling program included one intercept of 10.8m assaying 0.188% Cu, 37.5gm/t Ag and 0.925gm/t Au from a weakly altered and fractured ash tuff believed to be in the roof zone of an underlying porphyry system. A 1.1m section of this intercept assayed 0.16% Cu, 21.0gm/t Ag and 3.82gm/t Au. Prospecting Report on the Kate Project

7.0 PREVIOUS EXPLORATION 7.1 Sampling Method and Approach Two soil geochemical surveys were completed over the property. Canamax collected 212 soil samples in six lines flanking the known sulphide mineralization in 1983. Attempts were made to collect these samples from the BF horizon, however above tree line the company noted that there was no noticeable soil profile and these samples probably should be broken out of the dataset as talus fine samples. Equity Silver Mines collected 148 samples both to the NE and SW of the Canamax grid. Both surveys were completed using a mattock and samples collected from a depth of 10-30cm. Sixteen stream sediment samples were collected by Canamax from gullies in the area of the claim group. Numerous chip and grab samples were collected from both float and outcrop in the area by both companies. 7.2 Sample Preparation, Analysis and Security Samples for the Canamax program were submitted to Rossbacher Laboratory Ltd. of Vancouver for Mo, Cu, Ag, Zn, Pb and Au analyses by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Equity Silver soil and rock samples were submitted to the Placer Development laboratory facilities in Vancouver. Analysis for Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au, F, As and Sb was by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. There is no discussion of any security measures taken or chain of possession procedures used in previous exploration programs. 7.3 Sample Results Previous exploration programs located massive sulphide mineralization in volcanic rocks. The main Price showing consists of a 2m x 0.5m pod of massive sulphides with a weighted average from three chip samples of 14.6% Zn, 1.9% Cu, 0.33% Pb, 55gm/t Ag, 0.7 gm/t Au and 5.42% As. Values up to 135ppm Mo, 2.48% Pb, 905gm/t Ag and 24.7gm/t Au were reported in earlier programs over a 300m distance near the Price showing. Silt geochemical surveys identified additional anomalous drainages, 300m west (112ppm Pb, 740ppm Zn, 0.8ppm Ag) and 1000m west (64ppm Pb, 176ppm Zn) of the Price showing. The main creek draining known mineralization returned 62ppm Pb and 188ppm Zn. Soil surveys outlined a number of anomalies in both base and precious metals. Initial surveys outlined three anomalies, a weak Pb-Zn anomaly over an area 200 x 100m west of the showing, a weak Ag (+/- Cu, Zn) over a 200 x 500m area to the north and a weak Ag-Zn-Mo anomaly to the south. A single sample Au anomaly of 230ppb was located approximately 200m north of the Ag (Cu, Zn)

anomaly. Follow up geochemical surveys outlined an additional four anomalies. A weak As anomaly, which remains open to the north and east, lies approximately 750m south of the main showing. A high Zn-As with moderate CuSb (+/- Ag, Pb) remains open to the east is situated 500m NE of this mineralization. Moderate and weak Zn anomalies were located approximately 1000m south of the main zone. Best results from the 1989 drilling program included one intercept of 10.8m assaying 0.188% Cu, 37.5g/t Ag and 0.925g/t Au from a weakly altered and fractured ash tuff believed to be in the roof zone of an underlying porphyry system. A 1.1m section of this intercept assayed 0.16% Cu, 21.0gm/t Ag and 3.82gm/t Au. 8.0 CURRENT EXPLORATION PROGRAM 8.1 Prospecting Survey Method and Approach A brief one day visit was made to the Kate claims. The main Price showing was not located but the creek was prospected and sampled over a distance of approximately 1.6km from the contact between the lower Cretaceous sediments and volcanics below the Price showing to as high up the left fork as was possible during the time available. Sulphide mineralization hosted by north-easterly trending shear zones to the west was discovered and sampled. It is not clear if this mineralization was sampled in previous programs. Two samples were collected during the visit and are summarized in the table below.

8.2 Sample Preparation, Analysis and Security Prospecting samples were collected, placed in plastic sample bags, sealed and shipped to ACME Analytical facilities in Smithers, B.C. for crushing and then to the ACME laboratory in Vancouver for ultra trace multi-element chemistry by ICP and ICP-MS methods (1F05). Gold analyses were determined by fire assay (G601) using a 30g sample. A description of analytical techniques and detection limits can be found in Appendix B.

Plate 3 Creek bed beneath snow pack above Price showing. 8.3 Prospecting Survey Results Two samples were collected during the evaluation trip. Sample 042451 contained background levels for most elements while sample 042452 returned 0.204gm/t Au and 666ppm As from a rusty and silicified andesite with several percent sulphide mineralization. A full accounting of the results can be found in Appendix A. 9.0 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS Data from the one day visit was insufficient to make an accurate determination of the potential of the property. Historical information suggests that the property could host a mineralized porphyry system that contains significant precious metal Prospecting Report on the Kate Project

credits. This hypothesis put forward by previous operators is still valid and the author believes that the Kate claims is a property of merit and warrants additional exploration. 10.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND BUDGET A systematic program of mapping and prospecting should be completed over the area suspected to overlie the mineralized porphyry system. A cut grid followed by geochemical (Ah) and geophysical programs of a magnetic survey to outline the pyrrhotite mineralization and possibly identify hidden structures followed by an IP survey to measure the abundance of sulphide material present should be completed prior to conducting any physical work in the area. Any mineralized rock located should be sampled for base and precious metals.
