Access
It is relatively easy to access the property by a gravel road leading to Vassan Lake, via Regional Highway 117
westbound, immediately after the village of Dubuisson. From there, proceeding north, a gravel tertiary road
takes us to within 500 metres of the south-western corner of the property. All-terrain vehicle trails crisscross
the property in the south-west and north-south directions.
Mineralization
This property presents a favourable geological context for different types of mineralization, such as gold-bearing,
volcanic sulphides and platinoids. To date, no significant mineralization was found on the property, except for
the presence of some small veins of quartz-carbonate with traces to 2% disseminate pyrite. Some shear zones and
small pyrite veins were observed by drilling West of the Property by Falconbridge Ltd. The most significant
mineralization in the area surrounding the Property is found on the Wesdome and Callahan deposits, southerly. |

Work and conclusion
The property is located in a favourable geological context for different types of mineralization, such as auriferous in
the veins inside the Vassan intrusive, volcanogenic sulphides in the intermediate to mafic volcanic sequences and of
the platinoids type mineralization in the ultramafic sequences of the Dubuisson Formation. However, since only minimal
information is available on the drilling, the geology and the geophysical of this property, additional exploration
works will be necessary to statute on the potential of this project. No work is planned on this property during 2004.
