Summary
A trenching program was completed on daim number 1166848, Zarn Lake Area,Kenora Mining Division Map Sheet G-2277, during the period August 14, 2003 through August 26, 2003. Additional sampling is in progress and wiil be reported at a later tfme. Trenching exposed a series of sulphide bearing quartz veJns near the former Alcona Gold Mine. Trenching was completed to expose the veins to accurately determine orientation, size and mineralization present.
Property Location and Access
Access is good to the claims. The claim trenched is located in the Zarn Lake area, Kenora Mining Division, near the town of Sioux Lookout in northwestern Ontario. The claims are accessed by an all 6 km gravel road extending from the paved highway f 8km east southeast of Sioux Lookout. The CNR railway parallels the paved highway. Property location is shown on figure 1.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Kenora District is entirely underlain by Archean (i.e. greater than 2.5 billion year old) rocks of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. These basically fall into four categories which are generally distinguished by the subprovince in which they occur. From north to south, these are:
. English River Subprovince rocks, north of the Winnipeg RiverSubprovince, which are predominantly sedimentary and minor intrusive rocks. Rocks of trie Separation Lake greenstone belt, located within this subprovince, host the rare-metal pegmatite deposits of the Separation Rapids pegmatite field. This fieW is currently being explored and has the potential to host worfd-dass petalite deposits. Other commodities contained wHhin the pegmatites include: tantalum; cesium; rubidium; beryllium and high-purity feldspars;
* Winnipeg River Subprovince rocks, north of Ihe WabigoonSubprovince, which are generally highly metamorphosed gneissic rocks- The Lount Lake batholith, located within this Subprovince, is host to three producing granite quarries This batholith, which covers approximately 1600 so,, km., has the potential to host additional granite deposits;
. Wabigoon Subprovince rocks, underlying most of the District, which are narrow, generally east or north-northeast trending belts of mixed volcanic, intrusive and sedimentary rocks-the so-called "greenstone" bells- separated by large intrusions of generally granitic rock. The majority of historical gold producers are hosted within the Wabigoon subprovince Several advanced gold projects such as Nuinsco's Cameron Lake Deposit, Teck Exploration and Corona Gold Corp.'s joint venture Thunder Lake Deposit, and Falconbridge's Kenbridge Ni-Cu deposit are hosted within the western Wabigoon's supracrustal rocks. Phases of the large granitic batholiths which separate the greenstone baits are host to producing and past-producing granite quarries. Other commodities produced within this subprovince include: soapstone, railway ballast, quartz and peat; and
* Quetico Subprovince rocks, south of the Wabigoon Subprovince, which are predominantly sedimentary and minor intrusive rocks similar to those occurring in the English River Subprovince.
The New Millennium properties all fall within the Wabigoon Subprovince rock units. Figure 3, taken from the Ontario Resident Geologist website illustrates the regional geology of the Kenora District.

PROPERTY DETAILS
The property area is underlain by a sequence of mafic flows, mafic
volcan!elastics, tuffaceous units and metasediments. These units have been
intruded by a series of mafic to felsic intrusive porphyries and dikes. The general
stratigraphic trend is north-south with a persistent foliation trending northeast-
southwest. Shearing were present is along the same genera! northeast-
southwest orientation. An earlier more felsic quartz porphyry set of dikes
predates the mineralization and deformation. A later set of mafic and
lamprophyre dikes postdate the mineralization but have been deformed. Quartz
veining accompanied by iron rich carbonization (ankerite) and sericite alteration
has been emplaced along some of the stronger shear zones.
The main area of interest on the claim is the former Alcona Gold Mine.
Alcona Gold Mine
An underground shaft to a depth of 325' evaluated the Alcona deposit with levels
cut on the 180 and 305-foot level The mine was active from 1936 and 1937 at
wnich point operations were suspended lo " conserve the companies funds
during the market depression'. Veins occur in fractures and along shear zones
dose to the contact with a massive andesite and distinctive porphyritic basalt.
The porphyritic basalt can be seen proximal to the veining, alteration and
shearing as far to the north as 700 meters away. Veins vary in strike (0920 to
130") and dip (22"to 880 south. Quartz is grayish white in colour and contains
variable amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and bornite. Veins
and associated shearing lend to be narrow with the largest noted in current
trenching of 1.1m. Sulphides can occur as disseminated grains and narrow :
massive stringers. Historical records on the Number 1 vein record a width ofi
22"(0.6m) grading 0.5 oz Au/ton (17 gm Au/tonne). The Number 2 vein averages '
0.28 oz Au/ton over 18.5" (9.6 gm Au/tonne over 0.5m). The Number 2 vein is \
occurs 50' south of the Number 1 vein. Only the Number 1 vein is currently
exposed. Additional veins vary in width to 80" (2.0m) and carry variable amounts -
of gold mineralization. Two main trench areas have exposed what is likely the i
extension of the Number 1 and/or the Number 2 veins a further 600 meters to the i
north. Generally these trench areas are grown in and rt is difficult to accurately c
measure and sample veins. In 1991 Cream Silver Mines and Valerie Gold l
Resources were involved m a joint venture on a portion of the current property. '
The partners completed a program of geological mapping and drilled 6 shallow [r
and widely spaced diamond drill holes over a larger claim group. The holes were \c
all drilled immediately northeast of the underground workings. Cumulative [
footage for the program was 1075 feet (327m).
All holes encountered significant gold values but over narrow width, the best
being 0.43 oz Au/ton over 2.3' (14.8 gm Au/tonne over 0.7m). The partners ;.c
concluded that they had "identified several features which are indicative of a
promising geologic environment for economic mineralization. The ... property
shows good potential and further work is recommended.* The operators went on
to recommend a two-phase exploration program totaling S230,000 consisting
largely of drilling.

Figure 4. CLAIM 1166848 WITH TRENCH LOCATIONS
Four trenches were completed in august 2003. The trenches were dug using a
track-mounted backhoe. Bedrock exposures were washed with a Wajax fire
pump. Some additional clearing by hand was required to complete the trenches.
Sketch maps were prepared to evaluate sample requirements. Trenching
exposed a complex series of sheared mafic volcanic rocks quartz porphyry and
numerous sulphide bearing quartz veins Sulphides noted include chalcopyrite,
pyrite and galena. Sulphides occur in quartz veins and to a lesser extent within
sheared wallrocks. Sheared wallrocks tended to be deeper weathered and not as
svell exposed as veining. The depression, in trench "B' may be deeply weathered
sheared wallrock. Two trenches were dug on the central vein immediately
southeast of the shaft and two trenches v/ere put in on the Number 1 and
Number 2 veins immediately northwest of the shaft. All trenches encountered
mineralized veining and sheared mineralized wallrock. Five maps are included
with this report, a trench location map, and map of each trench. Trench lengths
and depths are outlined below.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on presence of mineralization and veining a program of sampling should
be completed. Sampling should evaluate the veining and mineralized sheared
mafic volcanics separately to determine if wallrocks contain appreciable gold.
