Revell Township

by

12,

This report is being written for the purpose of

evaluating mining claim 1052985 and is to be

accepted by the mining recorder as assessment

work as a point of view by an expert in the field

of granite exploration and development.

to Carter Nelson

I am Currently Vice-President of Nelson Monuments

Ltd and President of Nelson Granite Limited which

is the leading stone producer in Ontario. I am also

deeply involved in exploration for this company and

many knowledgable people agree that Nelson Granite

has the potential to become a leading world producer

of granite

My family has been in the granite trade since the late

1800*s and I started to learn my trade as a quarry-

master at the age of 15.

I have done exploration on dozens of granite

formations and have visited producing quarries in

Canada, United States, Germany, India, and South

Africa.

Our operation in Vermilion Bay, Ontario is an

example of our most recent achievement. This is a

granite that most Canadian Producers said had a

very limited potential but after less than 10

years of production, Nelson Granite is suppling the

world market. This granite has a very bright future,

The following commen-fs about nujcriTng claim 10.5-2"9'85

/"' /^ ^' located in Revell Township is to be/treated as

continental information.

Some of the information concerning mining claim

1052985 comes from past exploration done on mining

claim 855995 which is a mining claim that adjoins

the southern boundry. The granite on both mining

claims appears to be identical in colour and

texture.

VEGETATION

TREES:

Mining claim 1052985 is covered with scattered timber

including pine, spruce, alder, and poplar.

SOIL:

Soil conditions range from sand to clay to granite

outcroppings.

WATER:

The Little Wabigoon River runs east to west across

the nothernly part of the mining claim. The water in

the Little Wabigoon River is brackish and uninviting.

Does not appear to support much in the way of fish

stocks.

GULCH:

A gulch runs approximately 30 feet deep to 150 feet

wide and runs from the southwest corner of the

mining claim toward the northwest, ending at the

Little Wabigoon River near the east boundry of the

mining claim.

INSPECTION OF CLAIM 0152985

A full inspection of mining claim 1052985 was done,

but the outcroppings were found only on the southeast

portion of the claim. There are many small

outcropping along the southern boundry that rise less

than two feet above soil. These outcropping are

badly weathered and jointing is close, two feet and

less. It is unlikely this part of the mining claim

could be used for diminional stone.

Along the eatern boundry, between post #2 and Little

Wabigoon River, there are three major outcroppings,

#1, #2, and #3 (see map) and sdow good possibilities

for extraction of diminional stone.

OUTCROPPING # 1

Outcropping # 1 rises about five feet about the

soil, the surface of this outcropping is uneven

with jointing space of 2 feet to 10 feet, sheeting

appears to be thin, perhaps 2 feet to 3 feet. I

would expect a high wastage factor of about 60%.

This outcropping is about 100 feet by 100 feet and

slopes gradually to the northwest.

OUTCROPPING # 2

Outcropping # 2 is also approximately 100 feet by

100 feet and is only a short distance north of

outcropping # 1. Outcropping # 2 rises only slightly

above the soil and is free from vertical jointing

and slopes about 20 degrees to the northwest. The top

sheet appears to be about 4 feet to 8 feet thick and

should produce nice blocks weighing up to 25 tons

with low wastage factor.

OUTCROPPING # 3

Outcropping # 3 lies a short distance north and

west of cropping # 2. It is the largest outcropping,

100 feet by 300 feet. Jointing varies from 5 feet to

25 feet and does not run parallel. This ledge will

likely produce both large and small blocks with a

wastage factor of at least 50%.

This outcropping forms the southeast bank of the

gulch near the river. An inspection of the river bank

shows irregular sheeting and jointing, some areas

would produce large blocks while other places would

be a total waste.

APPEARANCE:

The findings on mining claim 1052985 are

consistant with mining claim 855995 where a

bulk sample was taken in 1988. The granite on

both mining claims is a medium to fine grained,

black and white granite. At a distance it appears

white and is a very pleasing colour. Under very

close inspection you will find a faint pink fleck

about 3/4 inches apart. This does not hurt the

appearance of the granite but in areas where surface

water lies, such as open cracks, the pink fleck

will turn brown which indicates a slight bit of

mineralization. This does not appear to be a

serious problem.

The appearance of this granite is one of its

strong points in the monumental field, it would

be sold as a white granite. While in the

building trade it would be called salt and pepper

granite. Another strong point is that it is one of

strongest granites anywhere, as laboratory test

have proven it is a very very high quality granite

and this makes it a very suitable granite for the

building industrial purposes. (Lab.test enclosed)

This granite splits well when using shims and

wedges, and also with explosives. When using

explosives, because the granite is so hard special

special care must be taken as not to shatter the

stone even when using K-pipe. This granite

saws and polishes nicely and works well with

hand tools. It is suitable for all granite

products except possibly large buildin jobs

when the cost of quarrying is so important.

QUARRY OPERATION:

In order for a quarry to operate in this

formation, the stone would have to sell for

$18.00 to $25.00 per cubic foot. At this

price it will be slow finding its way into the

market place. It might be wise to keep this

quarry at a low producrion for the first few

years to establish production cost and to get a

market established. If a granite finishing plants

are established near a quarry, like this one it

will become profitable much sooner.

SUMMARY:

To summary, in my opinion, the granite is a very

good colour and is a high quality but because of the

formation, production cost are likely to be high.

Also in this area there are shortage labour in

general and few, if any qualified quarry workers

and this fact will increase production cost.

Yes, this quarry should be brought into production

but with a great deal of custion.
