INIKCPUCTIGN
A geological mapping survey was conducted between June 11 to
June 15, 1984 and on July 20, 1984 on the Battle Energy
Corporation Hemlo gold area property. Tlie property consists of
14 contiguous unpatented mining claims located in the northeast
corner of Map 2452, Hemlo Map Sheet, Molson Lake Area. The
property lies approximately 4 miles northeast of the presently
known Hemlo Gold deposit.
Geophysical examinations on the Battle Energy Corporation
property to date have consisted of magnetometer survey and a VLF
survey which were carried out during August, 1981. The
magnetometer and VLF survey was conducted by Mid-Canada
Explorations of Tinmins, Ontario.
The geological survey was conducted by lan Coster, B.Se.,
and Nadia Caira, B.Sc., and David Hurst, B.Se., who carried out
the mapping on a previously cut grid of approximately 11.5 miles.
A well-cut baseline extends from the east boundary of the claims
near the northeast corner of claim TB731202 westerly for 6400
feet with perpendicular lines, at 400 feet intervals which were
cut to the claim boundaries. Survey stations were established at
100 1 apart intervals along the picket lines.
It is the purpose of this report to discuss the findings ofi
the geological survey.

Ix)cation and Access
The Battle Energy Corporation property is located in the
northeast corner of Map 2452, Hemlo Map Sheet (Muir (1980)). The
claims are located approximately 4 miles northeast of the Hemlo
gold deposit in the District of Thunder Bay, Thunder Bay Mining
Division, Ontario. Hemlo is a railway coomunity 16 miles east of
the town of Marathon on Lake Superior.
Indirect road access to the property is provided via Highway
614 that connects the mining community of Manitouwage with the
Trans Canada Highway (Highway 17) at the junction, approximately
6.25 miles east of Hemlo. Approximately 3.1 miles north of the
Highway 614 - Highway 17 junction a good all weather gravel road
leads west through a gravel pit for 1.06 mile to a left fork that
runs south for .625 miles then west for 0.62 miles where it ends
in a gravel pit approximately in the south central part of the
Battle property, on line 24W at approximately 21+OOS.
Property
The 14 contiguous mining claims included in the Battle
Energy Corporation claim group, encompass approximately 480 acres
of mining land in the northern part of Lecours Township. The
claims, which are registered with the Ministry of Natural
Resources, Recording Office, Thunder Bay are numbered as follows:
725140 - 725145 inclusive 731201 - 731208 inclusive

Topography and Vegetation
Topography in the area has very little relief with most of
the terrain comprising large flat-lying swampy areas. Bedrock is
not usually exposed in extensive flat-lying areas and a lichen
and moss cover is cannon on all rock surfaces. Some of the
property consists of low rolling ridges where outcrop does occur.
Valleys down to 100 feet have been eroded by the water courses
which eventually drain southwesterly into Lake Superior via Cedar
Creek and Philips Creek. In the northeastern part of the
property, Philips Creek flows westerly into Cedar Creek in the
west part of the property which then flows northerly into the
Black River and finally to the Pic River. In these drainage
valleys, overburden is thick and rock exposures are few.
Scattered outcrop comprises less than 5% of the property.
Outcrop areas are widely interspersed with swampy areas. A thick
forest of cottonwood, birch and aspen mixed with the younger
black spruce and balsam cover the property. Alders are thick in
the creek valleys and clearings.
Previous Exploration
Prior to the Hemlo staking rush, sporadic exploration
activity has been conducted in the Hemlo-Manitouage area, from
the early 1900's, until as recently as 1978. Ihe area was
included in a 1932 geological survey by J.E. Thomson for the
Ontario Department of Mines. V.G. Milne and assistants mapped
- 4 -
the area north of the south boundary of the property, in 1965 and
1966, for the Ontario Geological Survey. The area south of the
property was included in a 1978 survey by T.L. Muir and L.
Lafleur, for the Ontario Geological Survey.
In the 1920's, prospecting in the area resulted in J. Lecour
sinking a number of test pits on a mineralized shear zone
(currently the Bel-Air Resources Limited property).
Exploration activity in the area in 1945 indicated scattered
gold mineralization near Moose Lake, some 3 miles east, and a
little north of the hamlet of Hemlo.
Sporadic exploration continued for some 35 years until in
1981, when International Corona Resources Limited announced the
discovery of a significant gold deposit. This announcement
spurred the staking of over 7000 claims, in the area, twenty of
which encompass the property of Battle Energy Corp. Exploration
Diamond drilling over the last three years has shown the Hemlo
gold deposit to be more or less a stratabound deposit consisting
of over 75 million tons of ore grading at least 0.20 ounces of
gold per ton. There are no current assessment records available
to the writer concerning the nature or extent of any exploration
work undertaken prior to Battle Energy Corporation acquiring the
property.
In August, 1982, Mid Canada Exploration conducted a
magnetometer survey and a vertical loop electromagnetic survey
over the entire Battle Energy Corporation property. In the fall
of 1983, Corporate Oil and Gas Ltd. conducted a program of
- 5 -
geological mapping, soil geochemistry, and test IP surveying.
The results of this program are covered in reports by Wilson,
H.D.B., (1983).
RB3ICNAL GEOLOGY
The Battle Energy Corporation property is located within a
portion of the Schreiber - Marathon greenstone belt in the
Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The property lies
within an Archean sequence of metavolcanic and metasedimSntary
rocks that extends from Lake Superior, near Heron Bay,
east-northeast across the Hemlo gold area. This sequence, called
the Heron Bay Sequence, is comprised mainly of metamorphosed,
intermediate to felsic calc-alkalic pyroclastic rocks, related
sedimentary rocks and high-iron tholeiitic basalt flows (Muir
1982). The property is situated within the Hemlo Map Sheet, Mapf
2452 (see enclosed portion, Figure 3), which was mapped by T.L.
Muir and associates for the Ontario Geological Survey in 1982.
The Heron Bay Sequence bends around the Cedar Lake Pluton to
the east-southeast and northeast. The northeast corner of the
property is intruded by this hornblende - biotite - granodiorite
pluton. Within the Heron Bay Sequence, a poorly defined lateral
facies change occurs from west to east from predominantly
pyroclastic rocks to mainly well-bedded and poorly-bedded
metasediments derived largely from unlithified volcanic and
epiclastic volcanic material (Muir 1982). Relatively large
"lenses" of mafic metavolcanics are present throughout the Heron
- 6 -
Bay Sequence.
Later granodiorite bodies have intruded all of the
aforementioned rocks. The Pukaskwa Gneissic Complex, which
consists of foliated trondhjemite, intrudes the southern and
southeastern parts of the map-area while Heron Bay and Cedar Lake
granodiorite bodies have intruded the southwest and northeast
parts of the map area respectively. The Gowan Lake Pluton
intrudes the northwest part of the map area which consists of
massive quartz monzonite.
All of the Early Precambrian rocks have been intruded by
later diabase dikes. Later lamprophyre dikes have locally
intruded the volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The Battle Energy Corporation property is underlain by an
Archean metasedimentary rock complex which forms the hanging wall
sediments of the Hemlo gold deposit.
The Archean metasediment s have been intruded by diabase,
mafic and felsic dikes and/or sills. In the northeastern and
western part of the property they are intruded by the Cedar Lake
Pluton which is granodioritic in composition.
The bulk of the property is underlain by metasediments which
range from quartz wackes, (Unit 3d) to psammitic banded siltstone
and wacke, (Unit 3b). The quartz wacke (Unit 3d), occurs as
lenses or pods within the banded silstone-wacke, (Unit 3b), which

Unit 12a Biotite Lamprophyre Dike?
This member outcrops in only one locality on the property.
The outcrop is weathered speckled dark grey to black. The matrix
is fine to medium-grained consisting of biotite and chlorite
flakes and fine-grained anhedral opaque minerals. Considerable
white carbonate (calcite) is also present.
Unit lla Equigranular Diabase
Throughout the property diabase dikes are found intruding
the metasediments. The diabase weathers a dark brown colour, and
- 8 -
on fresh surfaces, varies from dark grey black to greenish black.
In some of the more medium-grained varieties, sericitized
plagioclase imparts a lighter green colour to the rock.
The dikes range in width from 20 feet to 100 feet and within
the property can be followed for distances of up to 600 feet.
The dikes trend most commonly northwest.
Unit IQa Feldspar Porphyry Sill
This unit was seen in only a single outcrop at approximately
line 40W, 40 feet south of the baseline. The sill was
approximately three feet wide. The rock consists of
approximately 251 subhedral to euhedral feldspar phenocrysts set
in a pale green, felsic, aphanitic matrix. The phenocrysts were
moderately altered to sericite and epidote. Finely disseminated
pyrite, comprising S-4% of the rock, occurs in this unit. A
sample was taken at this location and was sent to Bell-White
Analytical Labs for geochemical analysis for gold. The rock
returned 3ppb in gold and is not considered anomalous.
Unit IQb Aplitic Dike
This unit was seen in only a single outcrop in the central
part of the property. This dike may be related to the local
pluton (Cedar Lake Pluton Unit 9a). The matrix is composed of
anhedral plagioclase phenocrysts in a finer-grained felsic
matrix. The plagioclase has been partly altered to hematite and
subsequently cause a pink weathered surface. Trace amounts of
biotite occurs as very fine flecks.
- 9 -
Unit 9a Hornblende Biotite Granodiorite
The Horneblende-biotite granodiorite (Cedar Lake Pluton) was
seen in the north eastern corner of the property and west of
Cedar Creek intruding the metasediments. The rock weathers light
grey to white to pink (where hematitic), and is generally medium
grained comprised of quartz and feldspar up to l-3rtm in size.
Hornblende and biotite which comprise lS-20% of the rock are the
main mafic constituents. Accessory magnetite is also present.
Unit 3d Quartz Wacke
This unit is seen as lenses throughout the property and is
interbedded with the banded siltstones (Unit 3b). The rock
weathers to a white grey colour and is fine to medium grained,
poorly bedded to massive. Fresh surfaces vary from a pale grey
to dark grey colour. The rock is composed of subrounded quartz
and feldspar grains with up to 5% fine biotite flakes. The rock
is quartz rich and weathers resistantly as a result. The rock
appeared to be slightly foliated in places, with biotite flakes
weakly aligned parallel to foliation. Trace amounts of pyrite
were seen within this unit.
Unit 3b Biotitic Siltstone and Wacke
This unit occurs as a fairly distinctive formation
throughout the property. It consists of a grey brown to dark
brown, well foliated biotitic siltstone interbedded with and/or
grading into, a slightly coarser-grained wacke. The rock varies
from massive to well laminated, with weathered surfaces dark grey
- 10 -
to light brown in colour. The siltstone is comprised
predominently of fine quartz and feldspar (up to 7(^ or 8(^) with
brown to black biotite comprising from 201 to 301 of the rock.
The rock is compact, even textured, with fine, dark and lighter
coloured laminae, due to different proportions of biotite. Thin
(less than l cm) felsic quartz and feldspar rich bands were seen
in several localitites. The siltstone was seen interbedded with
a coarser-grained wacke which is dark grey in colour with the
occassional quartz eye. Trace amounts of pyrite were seen within
this unit.
Structural Geology and Metamorphism
Few primary features were observed within the metasediments
on the Battle Energy property that could be used to interpret the
structural geology of the map area. The foliation (bedding?) was
cormonly between OSO0 and 0900 . Recrystallization in the finer
grained si 11stones, has obliterated, in part, any primary
structures indicative of stratigraphic tops.
CONCLUSIONS AND REOCMENDATICNS
The presence of metasediments similar to the Hemlo - type
metasediments and the general lack of outcrops make this property
worthy of a more complete program in search for economic gold
mineralization.
Due to the thick overburden cover, an extensive IP survey
over the existing lines using an "a" spacing of 100 feet with n s
- 11 -
1,2,3, should be conducted to explore to bedrock on all areas of
the property to test for areas of disseminated sulfide
mineralization. This type of mineralization hosts the large
Hemlo deposits to the south of the Battle Energy Corporation.
Evaluation of the IP data may lead to the recommendation of a
small drill program to test any anomalies considered to be
significant.

INITOPUCTION
An Induced Polarization survey was completed during July and
August 1984 on the Battle Energy Corporation 14 claim property
located approximately 3 miles northeast of the Hemlo gold
deposit. This survey was undertaken as follow-up to a test
program of IP surveying which was done over two lines in January
1984 by Phoenix Geophysics of Toronto using a wide (200') "a"
spacing. Geological mapping and geochemical survey had been done
on the property prior to this survey.
The purpose of this IP survey was to attempt to locate
disseminated pyrite mineralization which might host gold
mineralization similar to the disseminated sulfide zones at the
Hemlo gold deposit south of the property.
LOCATION and ACCESS
The Battle Energy Hemlo area is located approximately 20
miles east of the town of Marathon in the Thunder Bay Mining
Division of Ontario.
The property which lies 2-3 miles northeast of the now well
known Hemlo gold deposit is accessible via a l mile bush road
which leads westerly from Highway 614 approximately 2 miles north
of the Highway 17 - 614 junction. Hie bush road ends in a gravel
pit near line 24W at 21S.

PROPERTY
The 14 contiguous unpatented mining claims located in the
Thunder Bay mining division are numbered as follows:
TB 725140 - 725145 and
TB 731201 - 731208
TOPQGaRAPHY and VBGEIATION
The property lies in an area of low relief, varying only
between low lying swampy areas and low ridges and valleys along
creek beds.
The area is drained via a network of small creeks which flow
into the Black River which merges with the Pic River just above
-^ its entrance to Lake Superior, near the village of Heron Bay.
A thick forest of poplar, birch, spruce and balsam covers
the higher areas of the property while thick alders and spruce
dominate the swampy areas.
PREVIOUS EXPLCRATICN
The following is a brief summary of previous exploration in
the area from an August 15, 1984 Geological report on the
property (Caira, N., 1984).
"Prior to the Hemlo staking rush, sporadic exploration
activity has been conducted in the Hemlo-Manitouage area,
- 3 -
from the early 1900's, until as recently as 1978. The area
was included in a 1932 geological survey by J.E. Thomson for
the Ontario Department of Mines. V.G. Milne and assistants
mapped the area north of the property, in 1965 and 1966, for
the Ontario Geological Survey. The area was included in a
1978 survey by T.L. Muir and L. Lafleur for the Ontario
Geological Survey.
In the 1920's, prospecting in the area resulted in J.
Lecour sinking a number of test pits on a mineralized shear
zone (currently the Bel-Air Resources Limited property).
Exploration activity in the area in 1945 indicated
scattered gold mineralization near Moose Lake, some 3 miles
east, and a little north of the hamlet of Hemlo.
Sporadic exploration continued for some 35 years until
1981, when International Corona Resources Limited announced
the discovery of a significant gold deposit. This
announcement spurred the staking of over 7000 claims in the
area, fourteen of which encompass the property of Battle
Energy Corporation. Exploration diamond drilling over the
last three years has shown the Hemlo gold deposit to be more
or less a stratabound deposit consisting of over 75 million
tons of ore grading at least 0.20 ounces of gold per ton.
There are no current assessment records available to
the writer concerning the nature or extent of any
- 4 -
exploration work undertaken prior to Battle Energy
Corporation acquiring this property.
In January 1983, Mid Canada Exploration conducted a
magnetometer survey and a VLF electromagnetic survey over
the entire Battle Energy Corporation property. In the fall
of 1983, geological mapping, soil geochemistry, and test IP
surveying. TYie results of this program are covered in
reports by Wilson, H.D.B., (1983)."
PROPERTY GEOLOGY
Wilson (1983) describes the bedrock geology as consisting of
quartz-feldspar biotite metasediments with more sericitic
interbeds. One outcrop of granite gneiss and one outcrop of
diabase were also noted in the course of the survey.
Caira (1984) reports that the property is underlain by an
Archean metasedimentary complex which has been intruded by
diabase, mafic, and felsic dikes and/or sills.
A limited exploration program consisting of a soil
geochemistry, 2 lines of IP and cursory geological mapping was
carried out by Corporate Oil fc Gas between September 13 and
October 10, 1983. The results of these programs are discussed in
December 1983 reports by Harry D.B. Wilson.

SURVEY PROCEDURE, STATISTICS, and INSTRUMENTATION
The Induced Polarization survey carried out by Robert S.
Middleton Exploration Services Inc. between July 20 and July 29,
1984 was undertaken to search for disseminated sulfide zones
which might be gold bearing.
A Scintrex IPR-11 receiver and a Scintrex TSQ-3 transmitter
were used to obtain the data. A pole - dipole array with an "a"
spacing of 100' was selected for this reconnaissance type survey.
Resistivity and chargeability values were obtained for 11=1,2,
and 3 and plotted in pseudo section form at a scale of l" = 100'.
The four man crew was comprised of David Hurst, John Scott,
Jim Bald and Francois Bonhormie. A total of 603 readings were
taken at 201 stations and 19,500' of grid line was covered by the
survey.
INTERPREEATICN
Rather high resistivity values encountered throughout the
property are probably a reflection of the effect of
mid-amphibolite facies grade metamorphism on the pelitic
metasediments which typically give rather low resistivity values.
The background chargeability values are also elevated as a
result. Only one zone of high chargeability is thought to be
caused by sulfide and/or graphite mineralization in bedrock.

This anomaly, which is located on line 40+OOW from 3+50S to 5+OOS
gave chargeability values three times background. The anomaly
appears to be located under less than 50' of overburden cover.
No estimate of the strike direction or length of the anomaly can
be determined as it was only detected on one line.
Since lines were read 800' east and west of line 40+OOW, the
maximum length of the anomaly would be somewhat less than 1600
feet assuming a more or less east west strike (i.e. parallel to
schistosity).
OCmJUSICNS and REOM1ENDATICNS
The work done to date on the Battle Energy Corporation
Property has consisted of a rather comprehensive program of
gephysics, soil geochemistry and geological mapping. While a
number of anomalous features were outlined by the preliminary
geophysical surveys, the only target which was detected by the
Induced Polarization survey, and considered to be significant,
was the one located on line 40+OOW between 3+50 and 5+OOS. While
no strong alteration zones were noted in this area in the course
of geological mapping there are no outcrops within several
hundred feet of the anomaly. In the area of the Hemlo deposit
alteration features are restricted to an area only a few tens of
feet strat igraphically above, and often less than 100 feet
stratigraphically below the ore zone. While it is thought that
- 7 -
the anonnalous IP response is caused by pyrite and/or graphite
mineralization within the metasediment s, the zone should be drill
tested at some time.
This drill test could be accomplished with one 500' diamond
drill hole collared at 6+OOS on line 40+OOW and drilled south at
509 . The total cost of such a hole and associated supervision,
assaying, core logging, mobilization, etc would be in the range
of S20,000. It would be advisable to try to co-ordinate the
drilling of this one hole with another small program in the area
to try to cut mobilization charges.

Broadband Time Domain !P Receiver
Function
The IPR-11 Broadband Time Domain IP Receiver is principally used in electrical (EIP) and magnetic (MIP) induced polarization sur veys for disseminated base metal occurrences such as porphyry copper in acidic intrusives end lead-zinc deposits in carbonate rocks. In addition, this receiver Is used in geoelectrical surveying for deep groundwater or geothermal resources. For these latter targets, the induced polarization measurements may be as useful as the high accuracy resistivity results since It often happens that geological materials have IP contrasts when resistivity contrasts are absent. A third application of the IPR-11 is in induced polarization research projects such as the study of physical properties of rocks.Due to its integrated, microprocessor-based design, the IPR-11 provides a large amount of induced polarization transient curve shape information from a remarkably compact, relia ble and flexible format. Data from up to six potential dipoles can be measured simultane ously and recorded in solid state memory. Then, the IPR-11 outputs data as: 1) visual dig ital display, 2) digital printer profile or pseudo- section plots, 3) digital printer listing, 4) a cassette tape record or 5) to a modern unit for transmission by telephone. Using software available from Scintrex, all spectral IP and EM coupling parameters can be calculated on a desk top or mainframe computer.Because it can measure, record, calculate resistivity and output useful, broadband data in the field which are compatible with later computer processing using Scintrex software, the IPR-11 is the heart of a new, highly effi cient, integrated system for conducting spec tral induced polarization surveys.The IPR-11 is designed for use with the Scinr trex line of transmitters, primarily the TSQ ser ies current and waveform stabilized models. Scintrex has been active in induced polariza tion research, development, manufacture, consulting and surveying for over thirty years and offers a full range of time and frequency domain instrumentation as well as all accesso ries necessary for IP surveying.
Major Benefits
Following are some of the major benefits which you can derive through the key features of the l PR-11.Speed up survey*. The IPR-11 is primarily designed to save you time and money in gath ering spectral induced polarization data.For example, consider the advantage in gra dient, dipole-dipole or pole-dipole surveying with multiple 'n' or 'a' spacings, of measuring up to six potential dipoles simultaneously. If the specially designed Multidipole Potential Cables are used, members of a crew can pre pare new dipoles at the end of a spread while
measurements are underway. When the obser vation is complete, the operator walks only one dipole length and connects to a new spread leaving the cable from the first dipole for retrieval by an assistant.Simultaneous multidipole potential measure ments offer an obvious advantage when used In drillhole logging with the Scintrex DHIP-2 Drillhole IP/Resistivity Logging Option.The built-in, solid state memory also saves time. Imagine the time that would be taken to write down line number, station number, transmitter and receiver timings and other header Information as well as data consisting of SP, Vp and ten IP parameters for each dipole. With the IPR-11, a record is filed at the touch of a button once the operator sees that the measurement has converged sufficiently.The IPR-11 will calculate resistivity for you. Further time will then be saved when the IPR- 11 begins plotting your data in profile or - pseudo-section format in your base camp on a digital printer. The same printer can also be used to make one or more copies of a listing of the day's results. If desired, an output to a cassette tape recorder can be made. Or, the IPR-11 data memory can be output directly into a modem, saving time by transmitting data to head office by telephone line and by providing data which are essentially computer compatible.
If the above features won't save as much time as you would like, consider how the operator will appreciate the speed In taking a reading with the IPR-11 due to: 1) simple keyboard control, 2) resistance check of six dipoles simultaneously, 3) fully automatic SP buckout, 4) fully automatic Vp self ranging, 5) fully automatic gain setting, 6) built-in calibration test circuits, and 7) self checking programs. The amount of operator manipulation required to take a great deal of spectral IP data is minimal.
Compared with frequency domain measure ments, where sequential transmissions at dif ferent frequencies must be made, the time domain measurement records broadband information each few seconds. When succes sive readings are stacked and averaged, and when the pragmatic window widths designed into the IPR-11 measurement are used, full spectral IP data are taken in a minimum of time.Improved Interpretation of data. The quasi- logarithmically spaced transient windows are placed to recover the broadband information that Is needed to calculate the standard spec tral IP parameters with confidence. Scintrex offers its SPECTRUM software package which can take the IPR-11 outputs and generate the following standard spectral IP parameters: m, chargeability; T, time constant and C, exponent. :
Broadband Time Domain IP Receiver
Interpretability of spectral IP data are improved since time domain measurements are less affected by electromagnetic coupling effects than either amplitude or phase angle frequency domain measurements, due to the relatively high frequencies used in the latter techniques. In the field, coupling free data are nearly always available from the IPR-11, by simply using chargeability data from the later transient windows. Then, in the base camp or office, the Scintrex SPECTRUM computer program may be used to resolve the EM com ponent for removal from the IP signal. The electromagnetic induction parameters may also be interpreted in order to take advantage of the information contained in the EM component.A further advantage of the IPR-11 in interpret ing spectral IP responses is the amount of data obtainable due to the ability to change transmitted frequencies (pulse times) and measurement programs by keypad entry.Enhance signal/noise. In the presence of ran dom (non-coherent) earth noises, the signal /noise ratio of the l PR-11 measurements will be enhanced by JR where N is the number of individual readings which have been averaged to arrive at the measurement. The IPR-11 automatically stacks the information contained in each pulse and calculates a running aver age for Vp and each transient window. This enhancement is equivalent to a signal increase of JR, or a power increase of N. Since N can readily be 30 or more (a 4 minute observation using a 2 second on/off waveform), the signal /noise improvement realized by the IPR-11 cannot be practically achieved by an increase in transmitter power. Alternatively, one may employ much lower power transmitters than one could use with a non-signal enhancement receiver.The automatic SP program bucks out and cor rects completely for linear SP drift; there is no residual offset left in the signal as in some pre vious time domain receivers. Data are also kept noise free by: 1) automatic rejection of spheric spikes, 2) 50 or 60 Hz powerline notch filters, 3) low pass filters and 4) radio fre quency (RF) filters. In addition, the operator has a good appreciation of noise levels since he can monitor input signals on six analog meters, one for each dipole. Also, with the Optional Statistical Analysis Program, he can monitor relative standard error continuously on the digital display and then file these calcu lations in the data memory when the observa tion is complete.Noise free observations can usually be made using the self-triggering feature of the IPR-11. The internal program locks into the waveform of the signal received at the first dipole (near est a current electrode) and prevents mistrig- gering at any point other than within the final 2.5 percent of the current on time. In particu larly noisy areas, however, synchronization of
the IPR-11 and transmitter can be accomp lished either by a wire link or using a high sta bility, Optional Crystal Clock which fits onto the lid of the instrument.Reduce Errors. The solid state, fail-safe memory ensures that no data transcription errors are made in the field. In base camp, data can be output on a digital printer or a read-after-write cassette tape deck and played back onto a digital printer for full verification. The fact that the IPR-11 calculates resistivity from recorded Vp and l values also reduces error.
The self check program verifies program integrity and correct operation of the display, automatically, without the intervention of the operator. If the operator makes any one of ten different manipulation errors, an error, mes sage is immediately displayed.The Multidipole Potential Cables supplied by Scintrex are designed so there is no possibility of connecting dipoles to the wrong input ter minals. This avoids errors In relating data to the individual dipoles. The Internal calibrator assures the operator that the instrument is properly calibrated and the simple keypad operation eliminates a multitude of front panel switches, simplifying operation and reducing errors.
Features
Six Dipoles Simultaneously. The analog input section of the IPR-11 contains six identicaj,.dif- ferential inputs tc accept signals from up to six individual potential dipoles. The amplified"- analog signals are converted to digital form, multiplexed and recorded with header infor mation identifying each group of dipoles."; Custom-made multidipole cables are available for use with any electrode array.Memory. Compared with tape recording, the IPR-11 solid state memory is free from prob lems due to dirt, low temperatures, moving parts, humidity and mechanical shock. A bat tery Installed on the memory board ensures memory retention if main batteries are low or if the main batteries are changed. The following data are automatically recorded in the memory for each potential dipole: 1) receiver timing used, 2) transmitter timing used, 3) number df cycles measured, 4) self potential (SP), 5) primary voltage (Vp) and 6) ten transient IP windows (Mj). In addition, the operator can enter up to seventeen, four digit numerical headers which will be filed with each set of up to six dipole readings. Headers can include, for example, line number, station number, operator code, current amplitude, date, etc.In the standard data memory, up to 200 poten tial dipole measurements can be recorded. Optional Data Memory Expansion Blocks can be installed in the IPR-11 to increase memory capacity in blocks of about 200 dipoles each to a total of approximately 800 dipoles. Memory capacities will be reduced somewhat if the Optional Statistical Analysis Program is used.
Automatic SP Correction. The initial self potential buckout is entirely automatic - no adjustment need be made by the operator. Then, throughout the measurement, the IPR- 11 slope correction software makes continual corrections, assuming linear SP drift during a transmitted cycle. There is no residual SP offset included in the chargeability measure ment as in some previous time domain receivers.
Automatic Vp Self Ranging. There is no man ual adjustment for Vp since the IPR-11 auto matically adjusts the gain of its input amplifi ers for any Vp signal in the range 100 microvolts to 6 volts.Spheric Noise Refection. A threshold, adjusta ble by keypad entry over a linear range of O to 99, is used to reject spheric pulses. If a spheric noise pulse above the set threshold occurs, men the IPR-11 rejects and does not average the current two cycles of information. An alarm code appears on the digital display. If the operator continues to see this alarm code, he can decide to set the threshold higher.Powerilne and Low Pass Filter. An Internal switch is used to set the IPR-11 for either 50 or 60 Hz powerline areas. The notch filter is automatically switched out when the 0.2 second receive time is used since the filters would exclude EM signals.RF Filter. An additional filter in the input cir cuits ensures that radio frequency Interference is eliminated from the l PR-11 measurement.Input Protection. If signals in excess of 6 V and up to 50 V are applied to any input circuit, zener diode protection ensures that no dam age will occur to the input circuits.
Synchronization. In normal operation, the IPR- 11 synchronizes itself on the received wave form, limiting triggering to within Z.6% of the current on time. However, for operation in locations where signal/noise ratios are poor, synchronization can be done either by running a cable from the transmitter or by using the Optional Crystal Clock which can be installed . in the lid of the IPR-11.Optional Statistical Analysis. As an option, the IPR-11 can be provided with software to do statistical analysis of some parameters. The relative standard error is calculated, displayed on the LCD display and may be recorded in data memory. The total capacity of data memory will be reduced, depending on the extent of statistical data recorded. If the Optional Statistical Analysis Program is chosen, some thought should be given to pur chasing one or more blocks of Data Memory Expansion.Software for EM Coupling Removal. In tran sient measurements, the EM coupling compo nent occurs closest to the current off time (i.e. it is primarily in the early windows). Thus, it is
usually possible to obtain coupling-free IP data simply by using the later windows of the IPR-11 measurement program. If, however, full spectral information is desired, the data from the early windows must be corrected for the EM component. This can be done with confi dence using a desk top of mainframe compu ter and the Scintrex SPECTRUM program.
Software for Spectral IP Parameters. Using the chargeability data from the ten quasi- logarithmically spaced IPR-11 windows, a desk top or mainframe computer and the Scin trex SPECTRUM program, spectral IP parame ters can be calculated. The basis for this calcu lation as well as for the EM coupling removal calculation is discussed in a technical paper by H.O. Seigel, R. Ehrat and l. Brcic, given at the 1980 Society of Exploration Geophysicists Convention, entitled "Microprocessor Based Advances in Time Domain IP Data Collection and In-Field Processing".
OperationIn relation to the efficiency with which it can produce, memorize, calculate and plot data, the IPR-11 is quite simple to operate, using the following switches and keypad manipulations.Power On-Off.

IPR-11 Options
The following options are available for pur chase with the IPR-11.
Multidlpole Potential Cables. These cables are custom manufactured for each client, depend ing on electrode array and spacings which are to be used. They are manufactured in sec tions, with each section a dipole in length and terminated with connectors. For each observa tion, the operator need only walk one dipole length end connect a new section, in order to read a new six dipole spread. There Is no need to move the whole spread. The connectors which join the cables are designed so that there is no possibility of connecting the wrong dipole to the wrong Input amplifier. The out side jacket of these cables is rubber which is flexible at low temperatures. About 5 percent extra length is added to each section to ensure that the cable reaches each station.Data Memory Expansion Blocks. The standard data memory of the IPR-11 allows for data for up to 200 dipole measurements to be recorded, assuming a common header for six dipotes. Up to three additional memory blocks can be installed in the instrument, each of about 200 dipole capacity.Statistical Analysis Program. Sclntrex can pro vide, in EPROM, a statistical program to give real time calculations of relative standard error of one or more parameters.Crystal Clock. Scintrex can provide a high stability clock to synchronize the IPR-11 with a similar clock in the transmitter. This option is, however, only required for work In extremely noisy and/or low signal environments.
Software. Scintrex offers its SPECTRUM pro grams for EM coupling removal, calculation of EM induction factors and calculation of the spectral IP parameters.Digital Printer. The Scintrex DP-4 Digital Prin ter is a modified Centronics Microprinter with an RS-232C, 7 bit ASCII serial port. It is a self contained module, including 110/230 V power supply, control electronics and printing mech anism. It produces copy on aluminum coated paper by discharging low voltages through tungsten styli. Characters are formed from the appropriate dots of a 5 x 7 dot matrix. All 96 standard ASCII characters are available, the paper width Is 120 mm and 80 characters can be printed per line at a rate of up to 150 lines per minute.Cassette Tape Recorder. The MFE Model 2500 with read-after-write verification is recom mended. It has an RS-232C, 7 bit ASCII serial Interface with a recording format compatible with the Texas Instruments 'Silent 700' terminals.Modern. A number of modern units are available on the market which are compatible with the IPR-11. Scintrex would be pleased to recom mend or supply such equipment if required.
The cassette tape recording format of the IPR-11 Is compatible with the Texas Instruments 'Silent 700' terminals which can be used lor printing out, editing, copying tapes or transmitting data to a similar termi nal using telephone lines.
The takeouts o! the Multidlpole Potential Cables allow lor connection to a porous pot or other elec trode as well as tor connection, ol the next section ot cable, usually one dipole in length.
Memory Recall. Any reading fn memory can be recalled, by simple keypad entry, for inspection on the visual display. For example, the operator can call up sequential visual dis play of all the data filed for the previous obser vation or for the whole data memory.Carefully Chown Transient Windows. TheIPR-11 records all the Information that is really needed to make full interpretations of spectral IP data, to remove EM coupling effects and to calculate EM induction parameters. Ten quasi- logarithmically spaced transient windows are measured simultaneously for each potential dipole over selectable total receive times of 0.2,1.0,2.0 or 4.0 seconds.After a delay from the current off time of t, the width of each of the first four windows Is t, of the next three windows Is 6t and of the last three windows is 12t. The t values are 3,15,30 or 60 milliseconds. Thus, for a given dipole, up to forty different windows can be measured by using all four receive times. The only restric tion is, of course, that the current off time must exceed the total measuring time. Since t is as low as 3 milliseconds and since the first four windows are narrow, a high density of curve shape information is available at short times (high frequencies) where It Is needed for confident calculation of the spectral IP and EM coupling parameters.Calculates Resistivity. The operator enters the current amplitude and resistivity geometry (K) factors In header with each observation. If the K factors remain the same, only a code has to be entered with each observation. Then, using the recorded Vp values, the IPR-11 calculates the apparent resistivity value which can be output to the printer or cassette tape recorder.Normalizes for time and Vp. The l PR-11 divides the measured area In each transient window by the width of the window and by the primary voltage so that values are read out in units of millivolts/volt (mils).Signal Enhancement. Vp and M values are continuously stacked and averaged and the display is updated for each two cycles. When the operator sees that the displayed values have adequately converged, he can terminate the reading and file all values in memory.
Vp Integration. The primary voltage is sampled over 50 percent or more of the current on (T) time (depending on receive time) and the result is normalized for time. This long integra tion helps overcome random noise. On stand ard Scintrex transmitters, T can be 1,2,4 or 8 seconds.Digital Display. Two, four digit LCD displays are used to display measured or manually entered data, data codes and alarm codes.Automatic Profile Plotting. When connected to a digital printer such as the Scintrex DP-4 hav ing an industry standard RS-232C, 7 bit ASCII serial data port, data can be plotted in a base camp. The IPR-11 Is programmed to plot any selected transient window and resistivity in pseudo-section or profile form. Line orienta tion is maintained consistent, that is station numbers on profiles are sorted in ascending number. In the profile plot, the scale for resis tivity is logarithmic with 1 to 10,000 ohmme- ters In four decades with another four decades of overrange both above and below. The char geability scale Is keypad selectable. In the pseudo-section plot, any one chargeability window can be presented in conventional pseudo-section form.Printed Data Listing. The same digital printer can be used to print out listings of all headers and data recorded during the day's operation. Several copies can be made for mailing to head office or for filing In case copies are lost. Baud rate is keypad selectable at 110,300 or 1200 baud, depending on the printer used.Cassette Tape Output. A cassette recorder having an industry standard RS-232C, 7 bit ASCII serial interface may be used for storing data directly from the IPR-11. If all six dipoles are used, then 16,80 character blocks of data per observation are transferred at a rate of 1200 baud. The storage capacity of one side of cassette tape is approximately 1400 blocks or about 90 six dipole observations. The MFE Model 2500 is recommended since It has a read-after-write feature for data verification.The recording format is compatible with the Texas Instruments 'Silent 700' terminals and records are made on standard digital grade cassettes. Once a cassette tape record is made, the tape can be played back onto the DP-4 Digital Printer for an additional verifica tion that the data on tape are correct.

Modern. Data In the IPR-11 memory can be output directly into a modern near the field operation and transmitted by telephone through a modern terminal In or near head office, where data can be output directly onto a digital printer or tape recorder. In this way a geophysicist in head office can receive regular transmissions of data to improve supervision and interpretation of the data from field pro jects and no output device other than the modern is required in the field.External Circuit Check. Six analog meters on the IPR^II are used to check the contact res istance of Individual potential dipoles. Poor contact at any one electrode is Immediately apparent. The continuity test uses an AC sig nal to avoid electrode polarization.Self Check Program. Each time the Instrument is turned on, a check sum verification of the program memory is automatically done. TKte verifies program integrity and If any discre pancy is discovered, an error signal appears on the digital display. Part of the self check : program checks the LCD display by displaying eight ones followed sequentially by eight twos, eight fours and eight eights.Manipulation Error Checks. Alarm codes appear on the digital display if any of the fol lowing ten errors occur: tape dump errors, Illegal keypad entry, out of calibration or failed memory test, insufficient headers, header " buffer full, previous station's data not filed, r data memory full, Incorrect signal amplitude or excessive noise, transmit pulse time incorrect and receiver measurement timing incorrect?internal Calibrator. By adjustment of the func tion switch, an Internal slgnal.generator is ^ connected across the inputs to test the calibra tion of all six signal (inputs for SP, Vp and all M windows simultaneously. Then the software checks all parameters. If there is an error in one or more parameters, an alarm code appears on the display.

INTRODUCTION
A geochemical survey and a geological survey
have been done over the Battle Energy Corporation
Option in the Hemlo Area of northern Ontario (see
Key and Location Maps).
The geochemical samples were collected and
the geological mapping done by geologists in the employ
of Corporate Oil s Gas Limited as part of an agreement
whereby Corporate may earn an interest in the Battle
Energy Corp. Option.
The samples were assayed by Bell-White Analytical
Laboratories Ltd., of Haileybury, Ontario. The geological
mapping and geochemical soil sampling were done during
the period of September 13, 1983, to October 10, 1983.
Assays were received during December, 1983.
The presentation and evaluation of the data
is the purpose of this report.

PROPERTY, LOCATION, AND ACCESS
The mineral property of the Battle Energy
Corp. Option consists of .14 contiguous unpatented
mining claims located in the Hemlo area, east of Lake
Superior in the Thunder Bay Mining District. The
claims are TB 731201 to TB 731208 inclusive, and TB
725140 to TB 725145 inclusive.
Hemlo is a station on the main line of the
CPR, approximately 200 miles east of Thunder Bay.
The Trans-Canada Highway (Ontario #17) runs more or
less along the railway and lies to the north of the
town.
The claims are situated 2^ miles northwest
of the junction between the Trans-Canada Highway and
Highway #614 to Manitouwadge, and two miles north
of the Golden Giant gold deposit currently being developed
for production. The northern .part of the property
is accessible via 6,000 feet of bush road, along
the north side of Phillips Creek. This bush road
joins Highway #614 two and one quarter miles to the.v - ! i:/:- ^
north of the junction of Highways #17 and #614. .-' .i?;'-W H A R RV^ ' D.;: V;,'^

TOPOGRAPHY
The dominant topographic features of the
property are the north-trending valley of Cedar Creek
and the northwesterly trending Phillips Creek. Drainage
along Cedar Creek is to the north and west into the
Pic River three miles above Lake Superior. Total
relief in the claims is approximately 70 meters from
the creeks to the tops of the rounded ridges.
The area is forest covered and bedrock exposures
are few.
HISTORY OF EXPLORATION
Previous mineral exploration on the property
has not been recorded, and evidence of such work was
not found during the present surveys, except for the
picket ling grid cut for Battle Energy Corp.
Dr. J. E. Thompson (1932) mapped the geology
of the area for the Ontario Department of Mines. vf-,\•'i "'^ .' "' ~ f

Other reports include those by T. W. Page (1957),
and V. G. Milne (1968). A report by H. D. Carlson
(1982) was not made available.
A report entitled "Geophysical Surveys of
the Property of Battle Energy Corporation in the Hemlo
Area, District of Thunder Bay, Ontario" (1983) by
H. Z. Tittley was made available to Corporate Oil
and Gas Limited. This report concerned magnetic
and VLF electromagnetic surveys that were carried
out over the claim area for Battle Energy Corporation.
J. W. Campbell (1983) reported on the property
for Corporate Oil S Gas Limited and estimated the
cost of an exploration program.
LINE CUTTING
A well-cut baseline extends from the east
boundary of the claims near the northeast corner of
claim TB 731202 as far as Cedar Creek approximately
3,600 feet to the westward. Cross lines from 00 to
3,600' are cut normal to the baseline at 400 foot
intervals and stations are marked at 100 foot intervals/.
ib--, D. B. KUSCfl ',
- 5 -
Evidence of base line or picket lines was not found
to the west of Cedar Creek so that flagged compass lines
were used to complete the survey west of Cedar Creek.
Geochemical samples were only taken where survey control was
considered satisfactory so that some of the extremities
and areas where it was difficult to maintain control
were not sampled at 100 foot intervals. ,
Unfortunately the work was planned and costs
estimated by both J. W. Campbell and Corporate Oil on the
basis of 100 foot spaced cross lines described in Tittleys
report (page 5). Tittley's maps, which show readings on
400 foot lines, were not made available until after the
geologists were in the field and had discovered the actual
spacing. The survey had to be adjusted to fit the actual
line spacing by reducing geochemical sample spacing to 100
feet from 200 feet.
The easternmost picket lines are well cut and
suitable for I.P. surveys. Picket lines approaching Cedar
Creek to the west are poorly cut, suitable for geologic ̂.^ifrV-^-vs.,
and geochemical surveys, but not for I.P. surveys. jy;-V/ """~ "^-x'' '.v'-,

to the west of Cedar Creek.
Outcrops are rare, but the claims are apparently,
mainly underlain by quartz-feldapar-biotite metasediments,
which are interpreted as being derived from a predominantly
greywacke sequence. Sericitic metasediments occur
interbedded with the more common greywacke type, but
the sericitic bands are rare and narrow, reaching
only four feet in width.
Granite gneiss occurs on the claims as shown
on the map, but outcrop is too scarce to indicate any
contact. Granitic areas could probably be outlined
approximately by the composition of the surface deposits,
but this :conjectural information has not been included
on the map.
-Tittley's (1983) magnetic survey indicates
three anomalies whose shapes and magnitudes indicate
probable diabase dykes striking approximately N 700 W.
The largest of these diabases is confirmed by a diabase
outcrop as shown on the map.
Schistosity strikes N 45 W to west. Dips
are variable and range from 62 NE to 82 S. Bedding^: :.,'- l''..'l.' '' '.- X

directions were not certain because of poor exposure,
but banding, which may represent bedding, dips approximately
parallel to schistosity.
Economic mineralization or evidence of hydrothermal
activity such as extensive silicification, chloritization,
or carbonatization were not observed on the small
outcrop. Minor, randomly oriented silicified fractures
occur in a few places. The greywacke environment
is not that of chemical sedimentation, which is associated
with some gold deposits, so that the sedimentary environment
exposed is not encouraging except for the thin sericitic
beds, which provide some hope that similar larger
beds may occur more extensively in the covered areas.
The probable northward dip of some of the
metasediments could result in deposits on claims to
the south dipping on to the Battle claims at depth.
The only exploration results reported (newspapers)
however, indicate the discovery of massive pyrite
with very low gold content.

are anomolously rich in gold. The sampling began
by collecting, samples at 200 foot intervals on the
premise that picket lines were spaced 100 feet apart.
This sample spacing was reduced to 100 foot intervals
when the wider spaced picket lines were reported.
The 100 foot sample spacing was continued except for
the westernmost area of the claims where sample spacing
was increased because of the less accurate geographical
control.
A total of 442 samples were collected.
Analyses have been received for 419 of the samples.
The remaining 23 samples appear to be missing sometime
after shipment. The missing samples were from the
southwest portion of claim number TB 731205.
The samples were collected from the B soil
horizon except in swampy areas where only humus was
available. A few of the humus samples did not contain
enough mass for the desired analytical accuracy, but
show the results obtained.
The analytical results are reported in parts
per billion of gold. Analyses were made by Bell-White
using the fire assay concentration method, followed
- 9 -
by gold extraction and determination using the atomic
absorption method. Analytical results are considered
accurate to two parts per billion.
Anomolous gold values are normally considered
to be 10 ppb or greater in soils in the Precambrian
shield areas of Canada. Experience in the Hemlo Area
has shown that anomolous gold in soil values are more
commonly greater than 50 ppb, apparently due to local
geologic conditions where overburden is relatively
thin and bedrock weathering is somewhat deeper than
usual.*

Overburden depths are not known but the
nature of the topography and the deposits indicated
that soil sampling might be successful.
The results of the survey were disappointing
from an economic standpoint because none of the samples
are more than 10 ppb gold resulting in a complete
lack of anomolous areas. Analyses for other possible
tracer elements do not appear warranted from these
gold results as well as from the geological provenance
of the metadediments.
CONCLUSION '
The geological mapping and the geochemical
soil sampling did not develop any targets for further
exploration. The I.P. results indicated a lack of
sulphide mineralization in the strongest and most
persistent V.L.P. anomaly.
These results indicate that further work
at the present time is not attractive.

INDUCED POLARIZATION SURVEY

BATTLE ENERGY CORP. OPTION

LOCATION
An Induced Polarization survey was carried
out over a portion of the Battle Option of 14 contiguous
claims numbered: TB 721201 to TB 731208 inclusive,
and TB 725140 to TB 725145 in the Thunder Bay District,
Province of Ontario. This report is intended as an
addition to the report entitled "Geochemical Survey
and Geological Survey of the Battle Energy Corp. Option,
Hemlo Area," December 1983.
The Induced Polarization survey was designed
to give a two-line sample across the main portion
of the property, and in particular to test the A-B
VLP electromagnetic anomaly {Tittley 1983 ) at two of
its strongest crossovers. The lines chosen were 4 H- 00 W
and 8 * 00 W, where picket lines were suitable for
I.P. work.
SURVEY METHOD \ v.'-',-,s i'Xx.'1 *;-.^'c D
The I.P. survey was carried out by Phoenix
Geophysics Limited. The instruments employed consisted
of the Phoenix Spectial I.P. system MG-2 Motor Generator;
IPT - l Time/Frequency Domain Induced Polarization
Transmitter, with AC 3000 power module; IPV - 2 Receiver,
The survey was conducted in the Frequency Domain using
the dipole-dipole configuration with electrode spacing
at 200 feet using the receiver to measure phase shift.
INTERPRETATION
The very high resistivities and the lack
of any appreciable phase shift jrf is interpreted
as meaning that sulphide minerals are not present
in any interesting concentration on the two lines
measured. Both resistivity and phase shift indicate
a rock unit change at 6 * 00 N on line 8W f and 2 H- '00 N
on", line 4W. This is interpreted as being the contact
between granite to the north and metasedimets to the
south.
The decrease in resistivity at shallow depth
in the vicinity of 6 * 00 S on both lines 4W and 8W
is interpreted as due to swamp.
The two lines would be considered as blanks
in terms of sulphide or gold - pyrite deposits. •S/'jZ

Notice of Intent
for Technical Reports 1985 01 04
2.7444/615
An examination of your survey report indicates that the requirements of The Ontario Mining Act have not been fully met to warrant maximum assessment work credits. This notice is merely a warning that you will not be allowed the number of assessment work days credits that you expected and also that in approximately 15 days from the above date, the mining recorder will be authorized to change the entries on his record sheets to agree with the enclosed statement. Please note that until such time as the recorder actually changes the entry on the record sheet, the status of the claim remains unchanged.
If you are of the opinion that these changes by the mining recorder will jeopardize your claims, you may during the next fifteen days apply to the Mining and Lands Commissioner for an extension of time. Abstracts should be sent with your application.
If the reduced rate of credits does not jeopardize the status of the claims then you need not seek relief from the Mining and Lands Commissioner and this Notice of Intent may be disregarded.
If your survey was submitted and assessed under the "Special Provision-Performance and Coverage" method and you are of the opinion that a re-appraisal under the "Man-days" method would result in the approval of a greater number of days credit per claim, you may, within the said fifteen day period, submit assessment work breakdowns listing the employees names, addresses and the dates and hours they worked. The new work breakdowns should be submitted direct to the Land Management Branch, Toronto. The report will be re-assessed and a new statement of credits based on actual days worked will be issued.
