INTRODUCTION
This report describes the results of a program of stripping and overburden trenching carried out
on the Cote Camp 25 property. The property was staked by Robert and Richard Cote in 1998
after Robert Cote discovered a boulder of pyroxenite mineralized with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite
and pentlandite and carrying significant values in copper, nickel, platinum, palladium and gold.
PROPERTY, LOCATION AND ACCESS
The property consists of eight mining claims comprising 70 claim units in Croll and Houck
townships, Thunder Bay Mining Division. Claim details are as follows:

HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK
The only prior exploration in the immediate area of the Camp 25 property has been targeted at
gold. In 1987, Coulson Exploration carried out and airborne magnetic and EM survey and
partial geological mapping over a number of claim groups in the vicinity of the present Camp
25 claims.
In 1997, Cyprus Canada Inc. carried out ground magnetic and EM and soil geochemical surveys
and put down a single diamond drill hole on a claim group that overlapped the northern part of
the Camp 25 property. The drill hole, which was situated on the north boundary of present
claim TB1233516, intersected graphitic siltstone with minor disseminated sulphides and a few
anomalous gold values.
In 1998 Robert Cote discovered a large boulder of pyroxenite with disseminated pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite and pentlandite just east of the sharp bend in the Camp 25 road. Assays
demonstrated the presence of copper (5460 to 8450 ppm), nickel (2245 to 5210 ppm), platinum
(467 to 986 ppb), palladium (319 to 523 ppb) and gold (199 to 504 ppb). The Camp 25 claim
group was staked to cover a swath of ground in an up-ice direction ( 045 0 ) from the discovery
boulder.
GEOLOGY
The property lies in the eastern part of the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt.
Mapping by Kresz *fe Zayachivsky (1991) indicates that the area of the property is mostly
underlain by greywackes and interbedded siltstones of the "Central sedimentary unit". The
northern part of the property is underlain by mafic metavolcanics of the "Northern volcanic
unit". The strike of both units is about 060 0 . A number of elongated, sill-like bodies of gabbro
are mapped within the southern part of the Northern volcanic unit. They are very poorly
exposed and it appears that their extent and shape were largely interpreted from aeromagnetic
data.

Surficial Geology
The Quaternary geology of the Beardmore-Geraldton area has been mapped and described by
Thorliefson *fe Kristjansson (1993). Their map shows the south-western part of the property to
be covered by ice-contact glaciofluvial sediments, principally sand and gravel with local kames,
eskers and kettle holes. The north-eastern part of the property is covered in thick till in which
exotic boulders of Palaeozoic sediments from the James Bay lowlands, with isolated pockets of
thin (locally derived) till. The lower ground is covered by swampy organic deposits.
2000 STRIPPING AND TRENCHING PROGRAM
The purpose of the stripping and trenching program was primarily to test the overburden to
search for mineralized boulders similar to the discovery boulder. Accordingly, a series of
traverses across the ice advance direction were dug in an up-ice direction from the discovery
boulder.
Forty-three trenches were excavated using a Case DROTT backhoe excavator. Trenches were
dug to a maximum depth of 6 metres, or to a lesser depth if lacustrine silt was encountered, or
bedrock was reached, or an influx of water made further digging impossible.
Personnel were as follows:
Backhoe operator: Richard Cote
Prospector-assistant: Robert Cote
Supervision/geology: Colin Bowdidge
Results of Program
The following overburden types were encountered hi the program:
Thick Till: The name "thick till" is borrowed from Thorliefson Se Kristjansson (1993), as it
refers to a till in which there are very few boulders of obviously local derivation. The till is a
distinct diamictite, with a predominantly sandy matrix containing cobbles and boulders. The silt
and clay fractions that characterize the more locally-derived "thin till" are essentially absent.
Gravel and pebble fractions, although present in some pits, are distinctly subordinate. The
-4-
larger clasts are present in approximately the following proportions:
Palaeozoic sediments: 25-35%
Gneiss and granite: 40-50 7o
Metasediments (mainly greywacke and siltstone): 10-20 Jo
Diabase and gabbro: 5-10%
Mafic metavolcanics: < 5%
Sand and Gravel: This is the commonest overburden type in the area tested. The sand and
gravel is moderately well bedded, often with dips up to 10 0 in variable directions. Scattered
boulders, forming perhaps 1-2% of the mass of the sediment, are present, presumably having
been deposited as residual blocks of ice melted.
Lacustrine Silt: This type of periglacial deposit was encountered below the sand and gravel hi
several pits, and also above the till in one pit. It is an ash-grey, very fine sand or silt with a
fine bedding visible in places.
Organic Deposits: Brown peaty organic material covers the other surficial material in low-lying
areas. Because of the abundant surface water in these areas, it was not possible to trench
through it to the underlying material.
Kames and Eskers: The area to the west and south of the discovery boulder consists of irregular
hummocky ground with a few well-defined esker ridges. The irregular hummocks are kames
and consist of poorly bedded sand and gravel with numerous boulders. The old test pit (believed
to have been opened as a potential source for road-building material) in which the discovery
boulder was found clearly shows that the boulders are heavily concentrated at the top surface
of the kames. The discovery boulder lies at the extreme northeastern edge of the kame complex,
only l metre or so above the level of the top of the sand and gravel that lies to the northeast.
Table 2 gives the dimensions of each pit, with a brief log of the overburden types encountered.
Depths are measured from the surface downwards.

The till is developed on a low ridge in the eastern part of the trenched area. As the ground
drops on the edges of the ridge, the sand and gravel become the dominant overburden type. In
several pits the sand and gravel are underlain by silt. In pit 34, a complete section is exposed,
with till at the bottom, overlain first by silt and then by sand and gravel. The presence of
scattered boulders and cobbles in almost all the pits where sand and gravel is exposed confirms
the interpretation of Thorliefson *fc Kristjansson (1993) the these deposits were formed at the
edge of a retreating ice sheet.
The lithological distribution of boulders is more or less the same in all the pits where till is
exposed. The low proportion of locally derived metavolcanics confirms the interpretation of
Thorliefson &L Kristjansson (1993) that this till sheet is of primarily exotic derivation, and that
late-stage glaciation carried out very little erosion in the area.
Only one boulder was found, in pit 40, that might be related to the discovery boulder. It is a
pyroxenite of similar grain size, but carried no sulphide mineralization.
-8-
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The fact that the discovery boulder lies on the upper surface of a kame strongly suggests that
it was carried well up in the ice sheet and was deposited in its present location when the ice
melted. This means that it may have been transported a long distance from its source without
rounding or comminution. It may also have been eroded from a topographic high only a short
distance up-ice and so passed directly into the upper ice.
The confirmation that the till is of primarily exotic derivation means that till prospecting is
unlikely to be a useful means of locating the source of the mineralization, even if it is of
relatively local derivation.
The writer concludes that the focus of exploration for the source of the mineralization should
change to a primarily geophysical one. The discovery boulder is distinctly magnetic, and
therefore its source, if it has any substantial size, should be expressed as an anomaly on airborne
and ground magnetic surveys. By using airborne magnetic anomalies as a guide, future
exploration efforts (prospecting, reconnaissance ground magnetic surveys, stripping and
trenching) can be focussed on areas of manageable size.
It is recommended that the Geraldton-Tashota airborne surveys be used to define all magnetic
anomalies that lie within 5 0 of the up-ice direction. These should then be examined on the
ground, starting with those closest to the discovery boulder and progressing up-ice.
The essentially open-ended nature of the project and the recommended program means that it
is difficult to propose a specific budget. Effort and resources should be directed at this program
as they become available.

HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK
The only prior exploration in the immediate area of the Camp 25 property has been targeted at gold. In 1987, Coulson Exploration carried out and airborne magnetic and EM survey and partial geological mapping over a number of claim groups in the vicinity of the present Camp 25 claims.
In 1997, Cyprus Canada Inc. carried out ground magnetic and EM and soil geochemical surveys and put down a single diamond drill hole on a claim group that overlapped the northern part of the Camp 25 property. The drill hole, which was situated on the north boundary of present claim TB1233516, intersected graphitic siltstone with minor disseminated sulphides and a few anomalous gold values.
In 1998 Robert Cote discovered a large boulder of pyroxenite with disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite just east of the sharp bend in the Camp 25 road. Assays demonstrated the presence of copper (5460 to 8450 ppm), nickel (2245 to 5210 ppm), platinum (467 to 986 ppb), palladium (319 to 523 ppb) and gold (199 to 504 ppb). The Camp 25 claim group was staked to cover a swath of ground in an up-ice direction (±045 0 ) from the discovery boulder.
GEOLOGY
The property lies in the eastern part of the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt.
Mapping by Kresz Se, Zayachivsky (1991) indicates that the area of the property is mostly underlain by greywackes and interbedded siltstones of the "Central sedimentary unit". The northern part of the property is underlain by mafic metavolcanics of the "Northern volcanic unit". The strike of both units is about 060 0 . A number of elongated, sill-like bodies of gabbro are mapped within the southern part of the Northern volcanic unit. They are very poorly exposed and it appears that their extent and shape were largely interpreted from aeromagnetic data.

Surficial Geology
The Quaternary geology of the Beardmore-Geraldton area has been mapped and described by Thorliefson &L Kristjansson (1993). Their map shows the south-western part of the property to be covered by ice-contact glaciofluvial sediments, principally sand and gravel with local kames, eskers and kettle holes. The north-eastern part of the property is covered in thick till in which exotic boulders of Palaeozoic sediments from the James Bay lowlands, with isolated pockets of thin (locally derived) till. The lower ground is covered by swampy organic deposits.
1998 GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS
Two areas were selected for ground geophysical surveys. The first, referred to as the West
Grid lies about 500 metres WNW of the discovery boulder, and consisted of a weak conductor on the airborne magnetic-electromagnetic survey (OGS 1989). A small grid, 150 metres by 350 metres, was laid out over this anomaly, and surveyed with magnetometer and VLF. The second target, the East Grid, lies about 3 km northeast of the discovery boulder. It consisted of a magnetic anomaly on the airborne survey, which is the first magnetic feature in an up-ice direction from the discovery boulder. A grid of 200 metres by 1000 metres was laid out, and surveyed with magnetometer.
Line Cutting
On the west grid, a base line 350 metres was laid out at 315", and cross lines between 250 metres and 350 metres in length were cut at 045 0 . On the east grid, a base line 475 metres was cut in an east-west direction. Cross lines between 500 metres and 1000 metres in length were cut in a direction of 157 0 , so as to cut the anomaly at a manageable angle. Line cutting was carried out by Robert Cote and Richard Cote. The total length of line cut was 5.425 kilometres.
Geophysical Surveys
The west grid was surveyed with a Geonics EM-16 hand-held VLF receiver, tuned to transmitter NLK (24.8 KHz). In-phase tilt (in percent) and quadrature (in percent) were recorded. Both grids were surveyed magnetically using an EDA Omni Plus system. This consists of a proton magnetometer which records the total field intensity and stores the readings in a solid-state
-4-
memory. Data are dumped at the end of each day's survey, and compared with readings from a recording base station to effect diurnal correction. The survey work was carried out by Dusan Dmitrovic. The total distance surveyed was 5.275 kilometres. All readings were taken at an interval of 12.5 metres.
Results: West Grid
The VLF survey shows a distinct conductor running more or less along the road, in a direction of approximately 095". The quadrature suggests a moderate conductivity. A second conductor near the SW and of the grid coincides with a small creek and is probably related to overburden conductivity. The magnetic survey shows a very weak anomaly with a maximum amplitude of 70 nT that lies parallel to the conductor and about 50 metres south of it. There is also a second, isolated magnetic anomaly of over 100 nT centred on LO/OON.
The survey results suggest that the conductivity is related to a zone of graphitic or sulphide- bearing material in the metasediments. The absence of a strong magnetic response makes the presence of ultramafic rocks and pyrrhotite-rich mineralization very unlikely.
Results: East Grid
The magnetic survey shows a linear negative anomaly with a north-south trend, and an amplitude between 200 and 500 nT. There is a weak positive anomaly along the west edge of the main negative anomaly.
The magnetic results are consistent with a north-south diabase dyke of Proterozoic age with negative magnetic polarization and an easterly dip. The absence of any strongly anomalous readings makes the presence of pyrrhotite-bearing mineralization unlikely.
In support of the conclusions drawn from the magnetic survey, there are numerous boulders of diabase along the base line near its west end. They contain only traces of pyrrhotite.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The geophysical surveys carried out have not located any anomalies that suggest they are caused by a source for mineralization of the type present in the discovery boulder.
It is recommended that further ground geophysical surveys be carried out on airborne anomalies further up-ice from the discovery boulder.

mSTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK
The only prior exploration in the immediate area of the Camp 25 property has been targeted at gold. In 1987, Coulson Exploration carried out and airborne magnetic and EM survey and partial geological mapping over a number of claim groups hi the vicinity of the present Camp 25 claims.
In 1997, Cyprus Canada Inc. carried out ground magnetic and EM and soil geochemical surveys and put down a single diamond drill hole on a claim group that overlapped the northern part of the Camp 25 property. The drill hole, which was situated on the north boundary of present claim TB1233516, intersected graphitic siltstone with minor disseminated sulphides and a few anomalous gold values.
In 1998 Robert Cote discovered a large boulder of pyroxenite with disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite just east of the sharp bend hi the Camp 25 road. Assays demonstrated the presence of copper (5460 to 8450 ppm), nickel (2245 to 5210 ppm), platinum (467 to 986 ppb), palladium (319 to 523 ppb) and gold (199 to 504 ppb). The Camp 25 claim group was staked to cover a swath of ground in an up-ice direction (±045 0 ) from the discovery boulder.
GEOLOGY
The property lies in the eastern part of the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt.
Mapping by Kresz 81. Zayachivsky (1991) indicates that the area of the property is mostly underlain by greywackes and interbedded siltstones of the "Central sedimentary unit". The northern part of the property is underlain by mafic metavolcanics of the "Northern volcanic unit". The strike of both units is about 060 0 . A number of elongated, sill-like bodies of gabbro are mapped within the southern part of the Northern volcanic unit. They are very poorly exposed and it appears that their extent and shape were largely interpreted from aeromagnetic data.
-3 -
Surficial Geology
The Quaternary geology of the Beardmore-Geraldton area has been mapped and described by Thorliefson Se. Kristjansson (1993). Their map shows the south-western part of the property to be covered by ice-contact glaciofluvial sediments, principally sand and gravel with local kames, eskers and kettle holes. The north-eastern part of the property is covered in thick till with many exotic boulders of Palaeozoic sediments from the James Bay lowlands, with isolated pockets of thin (locally derived) till. The lower ground is covered by swampy organic deposits.
PROSPECTING PROGRAM
Purpose of Program
Prospecting was carried out hi an attempt to locate the source of the discovery boulder. The prospecting was targeted at outcrops, which are very scarce hi the area, and at boulders, with the aim of locating a sufficient number of boulders similar to the discovery boulder to outline a dispersion fan. Observations made during staking the property indicated that much of the area is flat, low-lying and/or swampy. The prospecting was tiierefore concentrated hi areas of slightly higher ground where there was a reasonable prospect of finding boulders and/or outcrops.

PROSPECTING RESULTS
Prospecting traverses are shown on the accompanying prospecting map at a scale of 1:5000. The traverse locations are generalized - the actual areas covered are strips of varying width along the traverse lines. The map also shows locations of outcrops and the main areas of boulder concentrations, as well as generalized overburden types and forest types.
-5 -
The following daily logs give a brief verbal description of each day's activity, with the principal
results.
Day l - May 16th 1999Prospected north and west of the discovery boulder. Numerous boulders were observed on the higher ground around the two gravel pits. The western part of the area is sandy overburden with very few boulders. All the boulders examined were granite, gneiss and metasediment (greywacke) with a few boulders of gabbro or diabase. No mineralization was found. No outcrops were located.
Day 2 - May 17th 1999Prospected north and east of the discovery boulder. Boulders are common on the ridge south of the pond where there is an old gravel pit. The rest of the area covered is lower ground with sandy overburden, with an area of swamp northeast of the pond. All boulders found are granite, gneiss and metasediment, with occasional smaller cobbles of gabbro/diabase and mafic volcanics. No outcrops located.
Day 3 - May 22nd 1999Prospected east and northeast of the discovery boulder. Most of the area covered is lower ground with sandy overburden. Boulders are common near the creek, and are all granite and gneiss with some metsediments (greywacke and argillite).
Day 4 - May 23rd 1999Prospected west and southwest of the discovery boulder. No outcrops were located. A few boulders are scattered on high ground around the gravel pit beside the bend in the road; all boulders examined were granite, gneiss and metasediments. The rest of the area is undulating terrain with sand and gravel overburden and mixed forest cover.
Day 5 - August 8th 1999Prospecting was carried out just east of the area covered hi Day 4. The results were very similar.
Day 6 - August 9th, 1999Prospected on both sides of the Camp 25 road. Boulders are common in and around the gravel pit which is in a ridge; all the boulders were granite, gneiss and metsediments (greywacke and argillite) and several of the metasediment boulders are mineralized with fine pyrite. Three outcrops were found along the creek east of the road - all are greywacke with argillite bands carrying S-10% pyrite. Scattered boulders of granite, gneiss and metasediment were found along the creek west of the road.
Day 7 - August 10th, 1999Prospected south of highway 11 in claim 1232021. Most of the area is low-lying and flat with spruce bush. Two areas of outcrop were located close to the highway - both are massive greywacke with no mineralization.
-6-
Day 8 - August 21st, 1999Prospected south of the area covered in day 7. Again, most of the area is flat and covered with small spruce bush. There is an area of higher ground near the south claim boundary with sand and gravel overburden and scattered low moss-covered outcrops of gabbro and diabase with local very minor pyrite and chalcopyrite.
Day 9 - September 4th, 1999Prospected the northeast part of claim 1232020. Two outcrops of gabbro/diabase were located close to the road, and were manually stripped. A few boulders were also located near the road, which crosses a low ridge in this area. The boulders are gneiss, granite and metasediments, some with bands of disseminated pyrite. The rest of die area is covered in sandy overburden.
Day 10 - September 5th, 1999Prospected the eastern part of claim 1232020. A few boulders of granite, gneiss and metasediment were found, but most of the area is sand-covered.
Day 11 - May 13th, 2000Prospected the northwestern part of claim 1232020. Two outcrops of greywacke were located and manually stripped off - they are not mineralized. The area is low-lying and flat with no boulders on surface.
Day 12 - May 14th, 2000Prospected the southwestern part of claim 1232020. The area is flat and covered with overburden and spruce bush. No outcrops and no boulders were found.
Day 13 - May 15th, 2000Prospected the west-central part of claim 1232020. One outcrop of gabbro/diabase was located and manually stripped. It contained no mineralization. The area is flat with no boulders.
Day 14 - May 17th, 2000Prospected the central part of claim 1232019. Most of the area is low-lying and flat with spruce bush. There is one low ridge of sand and gravel with mixed forest cover, but no boulders or outcrops were found. A few unmineralized boulders of metasediment were noted on the south side of highway 11.
Day 15 - August 13th, 2000Prospected the central part of claim 1232019, west of the area covered in day 14. Most of the area is flat and overburden-covered with spruce bush, but there is a low ridge of sand with a few scattered boulders of granite, gneiss and metasediment. Three outcrops of greywacke were found and manually stripped - the most northerly is cut by a 35 cm quartz vein with minor pyrite.
Day 16 - August 19th, 2000Prospected along the north boundary of claim 1232021. There is an area with some boulders near the northwest corner of the claim - boulders are granite, gneiss and metasediment. An area with outcrops of metasediment containing local pyritic bands was located. A little further to the
-7-
east is an extensive area with scattered outcrops of gabbro/diabase. On the way into this area a traverse was made across part of claim 1232022. The area consists of irregular low ridges with scattered boulders on the surface.
Day 17 - August 20th, 2000Prospected the same area as day 16, but somewhat to the south. Outcrops of gabbro/diabase were located, manually stripped and examined, but no mineralization was located. A traverse was made across another part of claim 1232022 on the way hi and out - the ground is low and sandy with no boulders visible on surface.
CONCLUSIONS
The prospecting program has not succeeded hi locating any boulders of mineralized pyroxenite similar to the discovery boulder. The flat terrain and sandy overburden do not expose many boulders on surface.
The very few outcrops found consist of metasediments (greywacke and argillite) and gabbro or diabase, probably representing dykes.
