SUMMARY
The Empress project is located approximately 100 kilometres west of Hemlo, and 15 kilometres northeast of Terrace Bay, in Syine township and Santoy Lake area, northwestern Ontario. A four man-day prospecting program, carried out on May 15 and 16, 2001, located the airborne electromagnetic anomaly detected under the "Operation Treasure Hunt" program. The sources of the anomaly is a narrow (l- 3m) sulphide-rich argillite sandwiched between massive mafic flows. No visible hydrothermal alteration was recognized in association with the argillite or the surrounding mafic flows. A sample of the sulphide mineralization returned values at the detection limits for Au, Pt and Pd.
Nine samples were collected from various outcrops of the mafic intrusive at several locations. This rock, at all sample locations appears unaltered, relatively uniform in texture and lacking significant heterogeneity such as coarse pegmatoidal phases; a desirable texture in Lac des Iles type PGE deposits. Assay results returned values for Au, Pt, and Pd at or below detection levels.
Based on the disappointing results obtained from this program and the lack of encouragement reported by McCracken (2000), no further work is recommended for the north end of the Empress property.

LO INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description and Purpose of the 2001 Program
The 2001 field program consisted of a two day visit to the property on May 15 and 16 by Mike Koziol (District Geologist) and Dominic Babin (Geologist). The purpose of the visit was to (1) prospect the north end of the property for the source of an electromagnetic anomaly detected during the Operation Treasure Hunt helicopter survey, the data for which was released in 2000, and (2) prospect and sample the mafic and intermediate intrusive in the centre of the property and analyse the samples for Pt, Pd, and Au.
1.2 Location and Access
The Empress project is located approximately 100 km west of Hemlo and 15 km east of Terrace Bay, north of Jackfish Lake, near the north shore of Lake Superior (please see Figure 1). The property lies mostly in Syine Township, but extends within the Terrace Bay Municipal District to the southwest, and into the Santoy Lake area to the north. It is covered by NTS sheets 42D/15, and is centered about UTM coordinates 502000E and 5412500N (Zone 16U, NAD 27).
The south part of the property is transected by Trans-Canada Hwy 17, and is easily accessed via old logging and mining roads, which are now mostly reduced to ATV trails. Cameco Gold Inc (CGI) cut additional ATV trails during the CGI 1999 and 2000 exploration programs, and now some, although still rough and difficult, access is available to the northern part of the property.
1.3 Physiography
Topographic relief on Empress is fairly accentuated, with elevations ranging from 240 m to over 470 m above mean sea level. Steep hills and ridges are commonly flanked by rock cliffs and deep ravines, often occupied by beaver ponds and swamps. The ridge line between McCraig and Cliff lakes dictates the drainage pattern on the property. The southern portion of the property drains in a south/southwesterly direction, while the northern portion of the property drains northwest until it reaches the Aguasabon river basin and flows south. Airphotos, topographic maps, and LandSAT images indicate that most lakes and streams are preferentially emplaced along a regional system of cross-faults and joints which are oriented north-south and northwesterly. The elongated aspect of Christie Lake and its associated string of smaller water bodies is a good example of this ( Map 1).
Vegetation is moderate, dominated by spruce, white birch, balsam fir, and little trembling aspen. Undergrowth is moderate to fairly thick, and consists of mountain maple and young conifers. Low- lying areas in the southwest portion of the property, from the foot of Empress Hill and east towards

Christie Lake were clear-cut by logging operations, and are now occupied by sparse white birch, young balsam fir, and moose maple. The northeast claim/grid area was subjected to a forest fire in the past. Most of the standing trees are burnt and dead. There is abundant windfall and the undergrowth is typically raspberry canes and ferns.
There is abundant outcrop, especially at the northern end of the property, but exposure is commonly masked by the undergrowth and by a cover of moss and detrital material.
1.4 Property and Tenure
The property consists of 16 contiguous unpatented mining claims and one additional non-contiguous claim (1207882 - 4 units), for a total of 86 units covering 1376 ha (Figure 2). The claims lie within the Terrace Bay and Geraldton M.N.R. administrative districts and the Thunder Bay Mining Division. The property is shown on claim maps G634 (Syine Twp) and G612 (Santoy Lake area).
Cameco Corporation is working towards earning a I 0007o interest on 16 of the mining claims from prospectors George R. Daniels, Jon D. Ferguson, and Audrey Ferguson. An additional claim comprising 16 units (claim 1217345) is contiguous to the optioned block of claims, and is owned by Cameco Corp. Table l lists the claims upon which work was carried out in 2001.

1.5 Previous Work
A detailed description of previous work on the project and surrounding area was provided by McCracken (2000) and Samson (1999).
2.0 GEOLOGY
2.1 Regional Geology
The Archean rocks of the Schreiber-Hemlo greenstone belt of the Wawa Subprovince extend along the north shore of Lake Superior, from Schreiber in the west to White River in the east (Jackson et al, 1998). The belt is separated in two arms by the Trans-Superior Tectonic Zone, a north-trending structural feature along which the Killala Lake and the Coldwell Alkaline Complexes were emplaced (Middle Proterozoic -1.0-1.2 Ga, Sage and Watkinson 1995). The Empress property lies within the Schreiber portion of the greenstone belt. It is comprised of tholeiitic and calc-alkalic mafic to felsic flows, interlayered with coarse to fine fragmental volcanic and minor sedimentary rocks. In the

Jackfish Bay area, these rocks are folded into a series of close isoclinal folds with subhorizontal to gently plunging east to east-southeasterly oriented fold axes (Walker 1967, Carter 1988). Large and small sill-like intrusions of gabbro, peridotite and minor quartz-feldspar porphyries have intruded the supracrustal sequences. The supracrustal and associated intrusive rocks are bounded to the northeast by the Black-Pic batholith, to the north by rocks of the Quetico Metasedimentary Subprovince, to the west by the Grossman batholith and to the south by the Terrace Bay pluton.
Metamorphic grade is generally upper greenschist but increases to upper amphibolite proximal to the granitoid plutons.
Late north to northeast-trending Proterozoic diabase dikes of the Marathon swarm were emplaced around 2.17 Ga and intrude all the rock types in the area (Osmani 1991).
2.2 Property Geology
The Empress property was never completely mapped in detail, and the best regional reference remains the map produced by J.W.R. Walker in 1967 (l inch ^ 1/2 mile), Flis map indicates that the property is predominantly underlain by mafic and intermediate volcanic rocks and their derived schists (Figure 3). These supracrustal rocks are intruded by intermediate to felsic hypabyssal intrusions and gabbroic sill-like bodies. Within the south portion of the property, these rocks are intruded by the late Archean composite Terrace Bay pluton (granodiorite, granite, monzonite to syenite). The Empress Mine and the Empress property are located within contact alteration zones associated, in part or in whole, with hydrous emanations from the Terrace Bay pluton. Just north of the property is the Cairagom/Owl Dome (granite/granodiorite gneiss). Like the Empress mine to the south, the Ursa Major is located within the contact metamorphic aureole for the Cairngom/Owl dome.
The south part of the property was the focus of the 1999 exploration program by CGI (Samson, 1999). This area was previously mapped by David R. Bell Geological Services (for Micham Exploration Inc.) in 1983 and 1984, and the current east-grid of the property was also mapped by SDA Geological Services LTD. (for Landis Mining Corp.) in 1997. CGI revisited portions of the east-grid, concentrating its efforts on the Empress Structure and also mapped all of the west-grid.
Mapping during the 2000 summer exploration program was concentrated primarily on the northern half of the property (McCracken, 2000). Previously, this area has been unmapped except for a small portion around the Ursa Major occurrence by David R. Bell Geological Services on behalf of Micham Exploration Inc. in 1984. CGI mapped the north grid at a scale of 1:2500, while the regional traverses were mapped at l :5000. Descriptions of the major rock units observed on the property in 1999 and 2000 are provided by McCracken (2000) and Samson (1999) and only those units sampled in 2001 are described here. To maintain continuity, the rock descriptions used are the same as those used in previous mapping of the property by McCracken (2000) and Samson (1999).
2.2-1 Mafic Metavolcanic Rocks
Mafic volcanic rocks are the predominate volcanic rock type underlying the northern portion of the property (Figure 3). The rocks are fine-grained, weathered greenish-grey and are generally weakly chloritic and carbonatized. The unit consists of massive, nondescript flows with no observed

primary textures to well preserved pillow flows. The north grid is underlain largely by the massive flows with only subordinate amounts of pillows observed. The flows display a weak gneissocity created from the presence of diffuse felsic bands. The area in the vicinity of the Ursa Major as well as the region north of McCraig Lake is underlain by relatively undeformed mafic pillow flows. The pillow flows indicate tops up to the south based on amygdales which is supported by Walkers mapping (Walker, 1967). The pillow shapes are destroyed in areas of shearing, such as in the creek flowing from Lizzard Lake to Duncan Lake.
2.2-2 Argillite
The argillite observed during the 2001 program is dark grey to black. It occurs as one to three metres wide units between two massive mafic flows. The argillite is very fine grained and it contains from 3 ^o to locally 1007o pyrite as blebs and semi-continuous stringers and bands. These bands are parallel and sub-parallel to the foliation that strikes at 100 to 105 degrees, and dips 70 degrees south. The contacts with the mafic flows are sharp and there is no visible evidence of hydrothermal alteration in the argillite or the mafic flows near the contacts or further away. This argillite unit is interpreted as an interflow sediment that has not been subjected to alteration or fluid movement subsequent to deposition.
2.2-3 Mafic to Intermediate Intrusive Rocks
Mafic to intermediate intrusive rocks consist of gabbro, diorite, blue-quartz diorite and possible granodiorite as identified by McCracken (2000) during his reconnaissance mapping through the central un-gridded portion of the property. The intrusive rocks display little textural and compositional heterogeneity, therefore, the distinction between these subunits was very difficult, as contacts were not observed and changes in composition and textures appear to be gradational.
Gabbro intrusion weathered to a grey to greenish grey, are typically very massive, medium to coarse grained, and weakly foliated. Hornblende, and Na-feldspar were the dominate phenocrysts observed in the hand samples. Petrographic work from 1999 identified quartz and titanite as well (Samson, 1999). The best exposures of the gabbro were around the shores of Cross Lake and on the ATV trail between McCraig Lake and Pack Lake. No significant sulphides were observed within the gabbro unit.
Diorite to blue-quartz diorite units extend from the top end of the south grid north ward to McCraig Lake. The rocks are weathered grey to white-grey, and display a distinct pinkish-orange colour on the surface of joints. They vary from massive and non-foliated to weakly foliated. Diorite is the more commonly observed subunit, the blue-quartz diorite is commonly found at the west end of the south grid and north of Christie Lake. The blue quartz "eyes" are opaline and Walker feels this unit is the transition between diorite and granophyre (Walker, 1967).

3.0 GEOCHEMISTRY
3.1 Introduction
A total often samples were collected during the two day field visit. Descriptions for these and assay certificates are included in Appendix I. Sample locations are plotted on Map l.
3.2 Analytical Procedure
The samples were delivered to Bondar-Clegg of Timmins, Ontario for preparation which included crushing to -10 mesh, splitting to 250 g sample, and pulverized the split to -150 mesh. The sample pulps were then shipped to the Bondar-Clegg analytical facility in Val d'Or, Quebec. Gold, platinum and palladium assays were completed using Fire Assay-DCP methods. In addition the samples were analysed for 38 elements using ICP.
3.3 Results
All grab samples collected in 2001 returned less than encouraging results, not exceeding the detection limits for Au, Pt and Pd (see Map 1). No significant anomalies were detected for any of the base metals.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
The four man-day prospecting program located the airborne electromagnetic anomaly detected under the "Operation Treasure Hunt" program. The sources of the anomaly is a narrow (l- 3m) sulphide- rich argillite sandwiched between massive mafic flows. No visible hydrothermal alteration was recognized in association with the argillite or the surrounding mafic flows. A sample of the sulphide mineralization returned values at the detection limits for Au, Pt and Pd.
Nine samples were collected from various outcrops of the mafic intrusive at several locations. The rocks, at all sample locations appear unaltered, relatively uniform in texture and lacking significant heterogeneity such as coarse pegmatoidal phases; a desirable texture in Lac des Iles type PGE deposits. Assay results returned values for Au, Pt, and Pd at or below detection levels.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the disappointing results obtained from this program and the lack of encouragement reported by McCracken (2000), no further work is recommended for the north end of the Empress property.
