1. INTRODUCTION

This report encompasses the prospecting activities on licence 15683m, Collier Point Small Vein, during 2014. These activities included general prospecting accompanied with overburden sieving and panning, the activities produced inconclusive results.

2. PROPERTY LOCATION AND ACCESS

The Collier Point property is located on the Eastern side of the Isthmus of the Avalon Peninsula mid way between the communities of Long Cove and Thornlea, NTS 1N/12. (Figure I). The northeast corner having the UTM coordinates of 5 274 500 N; 298 500 E, zone 22, NAD 27 .

Access to the property can be obtained from a gravel road used to access former mine workings from route 201 and by boat from Trinity bay.(Figure II).

3. CLAIM STATUS

The property consists of 4 claims in mineral license 15683M staked by the author in 2008.

4. HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK

1900 (?) – Fee simple mining grant given to R.G. Rendell, Vol. 1, Folio 86.

1902 – 5,075 tons of barite produced from 40 foot shaft a 200 foot pit and 100 foot drift.

1951 – Toronto based mining company carry out analysis of barite: 93.5% BaSO4 & 6% SrSO4.

1953 – Snelgrove investigates the vein and states the vein averaged 20 feet wide for 300 feet.

1956 – McCartney produces a map of the region and briefly notes on the barite occurrence.

1958 – Carr gives a detail cross section of the vein at sea level

1980 – J Tyler Mining Co extracted 10,000 tonnes of barite and give a reserve calculation of 185,000 tons of

barite ore contained in the deposit.

1981 – A report for Frontier Mining company give an estimate of 318,799 tons of barite ore and produce 11,000

tons, with the deposit having a strike >680m. The second barite vein was uncovered north east of the

main vein (location 2 on Figure 3).

1982 – Frew reports on the property for Frontier Mining, recommends waiting till further studies are complete to

undertake further work.

– Gibbs and Jones option the deposit and conduct a 5 hole, 73 m drill program

1983 – Gibbs and Jones carry out a boundary survey of the Fee Simple Grant and note adit location

1985(?) – Fee Simple Grant canceled, ownership reverts to crown.

1995 – Maritime Products International acquire mineral rights to the deposit and conduct a drill program totaling

358 m outlining in detail a resource of 30,000 tonnes from 114.5 m of strike to a depth of 40m.

1996 – Baricore acquires mineral rights to area, carries out trenching south of known deposit and conducts ore

test finding pink colouration is not due to iron.

1998 – Phoenix Minerals Inc. conduct a ground penetrating radar survey over the area, trench along strike, barite

is found south of the workings, and aquire a mining lease on the deposit.

2006 – the mineral rights and mining lease revert to crown

– Department of Natural Resources reclaim open cut and surface workings.

– The author stakes mineral license on the Collier Point Deposit and conducts initial exploration.

2009 – Department of Natural Resources attempt to back fill open pits with high grade barite, covering vein.

5. REGIONAL AND LOCAL GEOLOGY

The Collier Point property is part of the Avalon Zone of Eastern Newfoundland. This zone occupies the northern most portion of the Appalachian Avalonian Belt, a succession of late Proterozoic age volcanic, plutonic and volcanic sedimentary rocks, extending from the Avalon Peninsula, through the Atlantic provinces to the Carolinas and Northern Georgia, a distance of 3000 km (Williams, 1979).

The underlying geology of the Collier Point peninsula is generally mapped as (McCartney,1956):

Hodgewater Group, Snows Pond Formation

Dark gray, wavy-bedded siltstone and gray arkose; green arkose commonly cross-bedded; rare gray pebble conglomerate; restricted red arkose at top.

A number of faults have been inferred on the property. An example is noted at the southern end of the known Collier Point vein, where trenching uncovered a sudden increase in soil depth to >8 m within 10m of the outcrop containing known extent of the vein.

6. EXPLORATION PROGRAM

During 2014, three days were spent on site, one day in late April and 2 days in early May.

An attempt was made to drain the trench exposed in 2009, the ground water inflow exceeded the capacity of the pump and after 6 hours of pumping the water had dropped only 15 cm of the approximately 1 m depth. (Location A)

Several buckets of soil from the trench was collected, sieved and screened to 20 mesh, then panned during the pumping process of the trench. A in general the larger fractions sieved out consist of rounded red to gray sandstone / arkose, and the panned portion had a little white to pink barite with very little of any other heavy fractions were present given the simple nature of the grey rocky glacial till derived from local sources.

Two days were spent in May in the area between the lower marsh and Knife Cove, where the the mineral occurrence is noted. This area correlates to a visual linear on the satellite images and the offset of the main vein. Conditions in this area are a cross between wet marsh, tangley shrub/regrowth, deep overburden and cliff outcrop, making exploration difficult. (Location B &C)

7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMENDATIONS

With the known mineralization in the immediate area following relatively unaltered faults, close examination by means of trenching to the structures must be made to determine the possibilities of new mineral deposits on the property.

The following activities are recommended for the licence:

1. Trench across the small vein and vein offset structure;

2. Continue a prospecting program;

3. Conduct ground geophysics such as ground penetrating radar, gravity survey and a

VLF survey to identify additional faulting and related veins;

4. Train and clean the trench of the small vein with a larger pump.
