Item 1.0: Summary The Kate property consists of one claim (25 cells) covering an area of 479.69ha, situated in west-central British Columbia on mapsheet 93E11W approximately 16km sowthwest of the Huckleberry mine site and 131km south of the community of Smithers, BC. The claims lie immediately west of Mt. Baptiste. The property is accessed via chartered helicopter from Smithers, Terrace or Houston. For the present program, access to the property was with 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. 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. 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 believed to have formed during Cretaceous volcanism. A large body of Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex intrusive rocks cores this collapse feature. The Kate property and Price showing, lie immediately east of this large pluton. Volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) and high level porphyry mineralization have been located on the property. Both styles of mineralization exhibited significant precious metal enhancement. The 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 over 0.35m (Hanson, 1988) with values up to 905gm/t (26.4 oz/ton) Ag and 24.7gm/t (0.72oz/ton) gold reported from earlier programs (Cawthorn, 1983). Best results from a limited drilling program completed in 1989, 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 mineralization assayed 0.16% Cu, 21.0gm/t Ag and 3.82gm/t Au (Hanson, 1990). The Kate property has been held continuously by the author since 2009. The claims that are subject to this report are 100% owned by the author in partnership with Ralph Keefe and Shawn Turford of Francois Lake, B.C. It is the author’s belief that previous exploration programs on the Kate property and surrounding area suggest a potential for significant volcanic massive Prospecting Report on the Kate Project

sulphide or porphyry style mineralization. These programs also failed to adequately test this potential. Additional exploration in the form of geological, geophysical and geochemical surveys and drilling is warranted to determine if one or more economic mineralized bodies are present within the existing property boundaries. On October 1, 2011, Ken Galambos and Jason Wright flew to the property from the nearby camp at Coles Creek in an attempt to locate and sample the massive sulphide showing that was not located the previous year. Access was gained by Jet Ranger helicopter, on hire from Canadian Helicopters from Smithers, BC and based at the Coles Creek camp. Due to snow conditions, only a small area could be sampled and the Price showing was again not located during the visit.

Plate 2: Google image, looking north, showing approximate claim coverage. Climate is transitional between that of the Coast Ranges and that of the Central Interior, with short cool summers, and long relatively mild winters. Annual temperature variation in the region is approximately -25 to +25 degrees Celsius. Snowpack in the winter ranges from approximately 1 to 4 metres, but has reached a maximum of 10 metres during the past 20 years. The operating season for ground based activities such as geological mapping, surface sampling and geophysical surveys would extend from approximately May to October. Lodging and groceries are available in the small community of Houston while nearby centers such as Smithers and Terrace Plate 3: Jason Wright digging for outcrop Prospecting Report on the Kate Project

host regional airports serviced from Vancouver and businesses such as helicopter charter companies and building supply stores. Both communities support diamond drilling and exploration service companies and a pool of labour skilled in mining trades and professions. The immediate area to the project site contain adequate space for concentrator site, tailing ponds or waste dumps required in any contemplated mine operation. Power is available at the Huckleberry mine site, 16km to the NW. 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 4: The author sampling outcrop near the Price showing. Item 6: 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 collected 212 soil samples in six lines flanking the known sulphide mineralization in 1983 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 following an extensive heavy mineral sampling program completed the previous year targeting bulk mineable precious metal deposits. The best sample from the program was from a creek draining the Price showing and was highly anomalous in Mo, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au, As and Sb in all 7 fractions analyzed. Equity Prospecting Report on the Kate Project

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. A one day visit was made to the property by the author in 2010 to do an initial assessment of the mineralization previously located by others. The Price showing was not located. 6.1 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 surrounding 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. The 2010 program did not located the massive sulphide showing but values of 0.204g/t Au and 666ppm As were returned from a rusty and silicified andesite containing several percent pyrite. This sample was located roughly 300m west of the Price showing.

7.3 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 over 0.35m 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. Item 8: Deposit Types The most important mineral occurrences in the area of the Property are goldbearing porphyry copper deposits associated with the late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite granodiorite and quartz diorite intrusive rocks and Eocene Nanika Plutonic Suite quartz monzonite intrusions. The nearby, Huckleberry mine and many major prospects are located in the same assemblage of rocks as the Prospecting Report on the Kate Project

Property. There is also low sulphidation epithermal VMS potential with silverlead- zinc mineralization similar to that at the New Moon prospect in LowerMiddle Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks. The formerly producing Silver Queen mine is classified as a polymetallic Ag/Pb/Zn +/- Au vein and occurs in upper Cretaceous to Eocene Endako Group volcanics associated with late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite felsic to basaltic dykes and sills. The most important focus for exploration on the Property is for calcalkaline porphyry copper-gold deposits. 8.1 CALCALKALINE PORPHYRY COPPER-GOLD DEPOSITS According to Panteleyev (1995), Volcanic-type Calcalkaline Porphyry Coppergold deposits are characterized by stockworks of quartz veinlets and veins, closely spaced fractures, disseminations and breccias, containing pyrite and chalcopyrite with lesser molybdenite, bornite and magnetite, occurring in large zones of economically bulk mineable mineralization, in or adjoining porphyritic stocks, dikes and related breccia bodies. Intrusions compositions range from calcalkaline quartz diorite to granodiorite and quartz monzonite. Commonly there are multiple emplacements of successive intrusive phases and a wide variety of breccias. The mineralization is spatially, temporally and genetically associated with hydrothermal alteration of the host rock intrusions and wallrocks. Propylitic alteration is widespread and generally flanks early, centrally located potassic alteration which is commonly well mineralized. Younger mineralized phyllic alteration commonly overprints the early mineralization. Barren advanced argillic alteration is rarely present as a late, high-level hydrothermal carapace. Ore controls include igneous contacts, both internal between intrusive phases, and external with wallrocks; dike swarms, breccias, and zones of most intense fracturing, notably where there are intersecting multiple mineralized fracture sets. Porphyry Cu-Au deposits have been the major source of copper for British Columbia, and a significant source of gold. Median values for 40 B.C. deposits with reported reserves are: 115 Mt with 0.37 % Cu, 0.01 % Mo, 0.3g /t Au and 1.3 g/t Ag. 8.2 HIGH AND LOW SULPHIDATION VMS DEPOSITS Analogous to epithermal precious metal deposits, volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits are recently recognized to occur in two associations: high- and low sulphidation. High sulphidation VMS have been only recently recognized in the geological record, and are notable for their exceptionally high grades of gold and silver, in addition to their base metal content. 8.2.1 LOW SULPHIDATION VMS DEPOSITS Based on the mineralogical classification used for epithermal deposits, the majority of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, could be classified as low sulphidation. These VMS deposits formed from an ore fluid that was

dominated by modified seawater, and as with low sulphidation epithermal deposits, evidence for magmatic contributions to these systems is limited. 8.2.2 HIGH SULPHIDATION VMS DEPOSITS Certain VMS deposits and seafloor occurrences contain mineralogy that suggests that a high sulphidation classification is appropriate. These high sulphidation VMS deposits probably formed from magmatic hydrothermal systems that were active in submarine settings. High sulphidation deposits form in magmatic-hydrothermal systems according to Thompson (2007). In a similar manner, Dubé et al. (2007) describe a class of deposits that are a subtype of both volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and lode gold deposits, namely goldrich VMS deposits. Like most VMS deposits, they consist of semi-massive to massive, concordant sulphide lenses underlain by discordant stockwork feeder zones. They have diverse geochemical signatures dominated by Au, Ag, Cu and Zn and often accompanied by elevated concentrations of As, Sb, Pb, Te and Hg. Figures 5 and 6 demonstrate schematically the geological and spatial characteristics of these types of VMS deposits. High-sulphidation VMS deposits can also be described as shallow submarine hot spring deposits. They are represented by stratiform Au-Ag barite deposits, pyritic Cu-Au stockworks, and auriferous polymetallic sulfides.

An effort was made to locate and sample the Price showing but due to heavy snow conditions, the showing was not located. Sampling of available outcrops near the suspected location of the massive sulphide lens was completed. Two samples were collected during the visit and are summarized in the table below. GPS coordinates are relative to UTM Zone 09 (NAD 83) Table 3 Sample descriptions Sample # UTM UTM northing easting 1043951 5940328 0607721 1043952
