* SECTION A: REPORT

INTRODUCTION:

Cross Lake Minerals Ltd. holds a 100% interest in the LJ Property (LJ 1-3 mineral claims) that

covers the Locojo (McKinnon Creek) base metal showing. This report documents a geological

mapping and sampling program that was carried out on the property from September S-10,2002

by the writer and consulting geologist, Mr. Ted Muraro, P.Eng.

PROPERTY:

The LJ Property is comprised of three contiguous mineral claims totalling 32 claim units and

covering 800 hectares, all being in the Revelstoke Mining Division. The claims were staked on

L November 9; 2000 and are recorded in the name of Cross Lake Minerals Ltd. A complete list of

the mineral claims that comprise the property is set out in Section B of this report and their

location is shown on Figure Numbers LJ-02-1, LJ-02-2 and LJ-02-3.

LOCATION AND ACCESS:

The LJ Property is located in the Selkirk Mountains in the Revelstoke Mining Division some 35

kilometres north-northeast of Revelstoke, B.C.. The claims are situated on NTS map sheet

82MiOSE and B.C. Geographic System map sheets 082M.030 and 040. Geographic coordinates

are Latitude 5 lo 17’ N; Longitude I 18’ 02’ W while the UTM coordinates are 5 681 900 N and

427 950 E in Zone 11. The property is located at the headwaters ofMcKinnon Creek on the

north side of Cames Cree’k and is centred on a cirque with a remnant ice lobe at the western end

of the Tumbledown Glacier, the westerly extension of the Durrand Glacier. The property

elevations ranging from 1100 metres to 2480 metres above sea level.

The easiest access to the property is by helicopter from Revelstoke, the travel time being about

30 minutes. There is an access road from Highway 23 that runs east along Cames and McKinnon

Creeks to the nearby J&L Property. This road terminates six kilometres west of the LJ claims

along McKinnon Creek and a secondary logging road terminates four kilometres southwest of

the property along Carries Creek.

CLIM.tTE. TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION:

Warm; fairly wet summlxs and moderately cold winters ;vith hea.vy snowfall characterize the w

climate of the area. The property ranges in elevation from 1100 metres to 2480 metres. The

slopes are steep in most areas and certain areas are inaccessible due to cliffs and glaciers. The

vegetation consists of fir, cedar, hemlock, alder and de\.ils club at the lower elevations and there

is scrub underbrush and grasses at the higher elevations abow tree line.

HISTORY:

The Locojo base metal showing ‘was discovered by the British Columbia Geological Survey in

1995 \vhcn its geologists. in the course of a regional mapping program, discovered the

mineralization exposed at the toe of a receding glacier. Weymin Resources Ltd., who were

exploring the J&L Property located six kilometres to I t ?e \ve:;t. staked the Locojo showing in

Augusr !+U after sampling the mineralization. but :hk., ., 17 1 -rc no records in the B.C. Gwemment W

5

w assessment report database to indicate that any fieldwork was subsequently carried out on the

original claims.

The ground came open in November 2000 and Cross Lake Minerals Ltd. staked the LJ claims

covering the Locojo base metal showing. An initial program of geological mapping and sampling

was conducted by Cross Lake in August 200 1.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY:

The regional geology of the LJ Property area has been described in the British Columbia

Geological Survey Report on Geological Fieldwork 1995 in Paper 1996-1. The Paper is titled

the Northern Selkirk Project, Geology of the Downie Creek Map Area (82M18) by J.M. Logan,

M. Colpron, and B.J. Johnson. The LoCoJo showing is named from the first two letters of their

last names. L

A good summary of the historical and regional geology of the area also appears in

the Geology ofthe LaForme Creek Area by Logan and Rees, Paper 1997-I.

The LJ Property straddles the boundary between rocks assigned to the North American

miogeocline and the pericratonic Kootenay Terrane. The area lies along the western flank of the

Selkirk fan structure, a zone of structural divergence that follows the Omineca Belt, and the

suture zone between North American a,nd Intermontane Superterrane. from northeast

Washingon to east central Alaska. The area is bounded to the west by the major structure of the

Columbia River Fault. a major extensional fault of Eocene ase along the east flank of the

Monashce Complex.

The main lithological units underlying the property area consist of ‘Lower Cambrian-aged

Mohican and Badshot Formations and the Cambrian-aged Index Formation.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY-r

The LJ Property was staked to cover the Locojo base metal showing discovered by geologists

completing a regional mapping program for the British Columbia Geological Survey. The LJ

claims are underlain by the Lower Cambrian-aged Mohican and Badshot Formations and the

Cambrian-aged Index Formation. The Mohican Formation consists of dark grey, thinly bedded

phyllite. The Badshot Formation consists ofwhite, light grey and medium grey marble, which is

locally dolomitic. The thickness of the Badshot Formation varies from a few metres to 300

metres. Bridgland Pass, just north of the claims, is a known Archeocyathid locality within the

Badshot limestone; which enables a designated date of Lower Cambrian. The Index Formation

consists of graphitic phyllite: dark grey to black calcareous phyllite and minor dark grey

limestone.

The Locojo mineralization consists of laminated and folded pyrrhotite, sphalerite and pyrite

horizons and lenses of galena-arsenopyrite in the black siliceous units within the phyllites of the

Index Formation and is located along a north-south thrust fault. The mineralization strikes 160

degrees, dips east at 35 to 40 degrees, and plunges approximately 20 degrees to the south. There

has been very limited exploration work conducted on the showing due to the fact that it was only

discovered in 1995 when the glacier had receded far enough to expose the large gossan and

sulphide mineralization.

Limited time mapping in the cirque allowed the following observations:

The non-carbonaceous gFey and brown weathering grey calcareous phyllite which is continuous

across the floor of the cinque basin below the ice lies structurally above and conformably on the

limestone and marble forming the west wall of the valley (see Photos P-02-2 and P-02-3). This

7

same phyllite is in fault contact with the fault block of black Index Formation forming the lower w

east side of the valley.

It is suggested here that the grey calcareous phyllite and the underlying limestone/marble to the

west belong to the Mohican Formation which is in fault contact with the Index Formation at mid

valley on the east side but in normal though interdigitated contact with the bluff of Badshot

Formation at the north eastern end of the valley

There are locations, to the south in the Lardeau area, where relatively clean, grey banded, white

crystalline limestone/marble is the lowest mapable unit in the Mohican Formation. The

calcareous phyllite structurally above the limestone/marble is a much better candidate for

Mohican than it is for Index.

MINERALIZED FLOAT AND ROCK SAMPLING: ‘v

A traverse of the western stream bed and the western slope of the valley revealed over 50 base

metal bearing pyrite boulders. The largest number of larger sulphide boulders were high on the

western flank of the valley within an extensive concentration of limestone boulders. It appears

that the western stream has migrated down-slope to its present position and in doing so has

washed away the finer detritus and left a lag concentration of larger boulders. The location of the

traverse is shown on Figure Number LJ-02-4 and the details ofthe sampling are illustrated on

Figure Number LJ-02-5.

The boulders are a mixture of pyrite , galena, sphalerite and lithic material. Eight representative

samples were sawn and polished for mineralogical and texture studies. The boulders are

estimated by volume to contain 60 to 70% pyrite, I IL y ‘6 galena and 20% sphalerite and I to 5%

w lithic material which is predominantly black chert clns!s. Uone of the boulders found contained a

\

8

major lithic component. Etlack chert clasts, rounded, elongate and angular (approximately 1 to 2

cm maximum dimensions) are present in most boulders and may be crushed fragments ofthe

Index carbonaceous, siliceous phyllite. At least half of them are prismatic or loaf-like slab-like

shapes. Some of these show a distinct grain or fabric parallel to the larger flat surfaces on the

blocks. Internally, these blocks and boulders are a compact mass of fine grained pyrite breccia

clasts up to 5mm in diameter and separated by a random three-dimensional net of galena and

sphalerite in line interstitial fractures.

Representative rock chip channel samples were collected from six boulders, varying in size from

30 to 60 centimetres in diameter, from the main Locqjo showing area. The sample locations are

shown on Figure Number LJ-02-j. The following table summarizes the samples collected:

The most likely source of these boulders is the top of the Radshot Formation or the base of the

Index Formation. based on the strati&naphy elsewhere in the belt.

CONCLUSIONS:

The LJ Property consists of three mineral claims owned 100% by Cross Lake Minerals Ltd. that

cover the Locojo zinc-lead base metal showing that was discovered in 1995 by B.C. Government

geologists completing a regional mapping proLnam The ILocojo mineralization is located in a

‘y favorable stratigraphic location in a structural deformation zone bet\veen the Badshot Formation

9

w limestone and Index Formation carbonaceous phyllite. There has been no detailed exploration

work completed on the LJ Property to trace the extent of the known Locojo mineralization. The

source of the sulphide boulders was not located. The critical area hidden by ice is limited to an

estimated one-half square kilometre. Moreover, the upper flanks of the ice and ridge at the top of

the ice have not been prospected.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Additional exploration work should be completed on the 1-J Property to trace the known base

metal Locojo mineralization and to discover any new mineralization in these prospective host

rocks. Detailed mapping, rock sampling and possibly talus sampling should be carried out in the

Locojo area. The area to the east where government mapping has documented a prospective

w iron-manganese-sulphide enriched graphitic and siliceous horizon for a two kilometre strike

length in the Badshot limestone should be mapped and prospected. Due to the relatively flat

plunge of the Locojo mineralization, the southern area of the LJ claims, on the south slope of the

ridge between McKinnon and Cames Creeks, should be intensely prospected and mapped

because the mineralization may be exposed on surface in this area.

The potential target is a fstratabound zone of pyrite, sphalerite and galena in the lower Index

Formation, which has undergone post mineral deformation resulting in pervasive tine brecciation

of pyrite that has accommodated interstitial sphalerite and galena.

10

An electromagnetic survey system such as UTEM is recommended to try and pinpoint the source

of the massive sulphide boulders because the base metal mineralization is a good geophysical

conductor.

A geological map at a scale of 15 000 would be a major aid in targeting the best search area.

The best time for mapping would appear to be late August or early September while the best

time for a geophysical program would most likely be earlier in the year in June in order to avoid

any difficulties on the ice

Prospecting the east side of the McKinnon Creek ice lobe up slope to the south and east of the

folded Badshot Formation on the hanging wall of the Index Formation fault block is

recommended as a first priority.

Looking south-southeast upstream on the south fork of McKinnon Creek at fault slice of black 1 Index. The dark bluff upper right center extending down to left and disappearing in green ; grass. At upper left, Badshot limestone and dolomite dipping eastward ends in a fold nose (see Photos P-02.,6 and P-02-7) on the hanging wall of the central bluff of Index. The fold appears ’ to plunge southeast. The line marking the base of the bluff through the small snow patches and leading up to the glacier is a strong fault zone up to 30 metre wide with prominent plannar slip surface well exposed in the notch leading to the base of ice. There is drainage in this ravine leading under the ice/snow patch behind the author (“J.M-T”). To the right of the ravine is a low ridge of fine moraine gravel separating two drainages (sand colored area pointing to J.M- T’s left shoulder). To the right or wide west side of this medial moraine ridge is a bouldery stream bed which contains sultide boulders. J.M-T is standing at elevation approximately 1.900 masl. Scene in Photo P-02-2 is taken from just to right of stream in notch just below ice- upper right in this scene. Looking norl:herly down south fork of McKinnon Creek from bedrock knob just below ice on east side of cirque. Note the two drainage courses. the concentration of light colored limestone boulders featured in Photo P-02-3. the limestone in the upper left side of the scene. At centre left, there arc three exposures of highly foliated dark grey calcareous phyllite lying conformably on east dipping limestone. The phyllite is continuously exposed eastward across the floor of the basin (lighter grey extending to centre of scene below bluffl. This phyllite is in fault contact with the black carbonaceous phyllite and chert of the Index fault slice to the right of this photo. The carbonate bluff in upper right comer of scene is Badshot with two tongues of phyllite folded into this end of the bluff. This carbonate is separate from and north of the fault slice of Index. Looking nofl:h-northeast down the north tlowing south fork of McKinnon Creek. McKinnon Creek on the right has cut into rnorainal debris concentrating larger boulders in its present bed. Outcrops on left are north-striking, east-dipping limestone/marble in the distance which is structurally overlain conformably by grey calweous phyllite (either Index or Mohican), at left edge of scene left of large black boulder (eastem most of 3 exposures in Photo P-02-2). J.M-T stands within a cluster of 30 to 50 centimetre diameter sulphide boulders within a wider distribution of light grey to white limestone and marble (recrystallized) boulders which to date have been located only on the western bank of this section of the creek valley. At the right side of the pictare. pink flagging marks other sulfide boulders in the main stream bed at mid scene. Closer view of same boulder group as Photo P-02-3. Note dominance of white limestone boulders contrasted with scarcity of boulders on opposite (east) side of creek. Waterfall in upper right comer is near northerly end of Index fault slice in Photo P-02- 1.

P-02-5 One of five larger boulders in Photo P-02-4. Approximately 40 centimetre diameter estimated (by volume) 70 to 80% pyrite, 15 to 25% sphalerite and galena and up to 5% lithic fragments (black chert).

P-02-6 Looking from west to east across cirque at the fault slice of Index overlain by Badshot limestone and dolomite which is folded back on itself presumably by drag on a fault on the hangingwall of the Index block. The dark grey rock in the foreground is calcareous phyllite in contact with limestone behind the camera. This is the same phyllite described in Photos P-02-2 and P-02-3 which floors the cirque on the section measured by J.M-T.

P-02-7 From the same location as Photo P-02-6 with zoom on the fold. The foreground down to the left is the upper surface of the slice of Index. This is followed into scene by a depression before the exposure on the steep hillside. There is a dark green lithology in the core of the fold just to the right of the middle large snow patch. This is followed by grey limestone and beige dolomite. The second interval of limestone dolomite up to the right could be a separate stratigraphic interval or a repetition by a fault parallel to plane of photo. This fold seems to terminate the southern extent of the Badshot exposure on the upper surface of the black Index. This area wals not walked over by the author. However, it appears as though lenticular horses of carbonate ;are distributed along the zone between the two units. This zone is assumed to be a fault and the configuration of the carbonate on the hangingwall makes it a best tit for the eastern-most thrust fault shown on Logan’s map in Open File 1996-02.

P-02-8 Looking easterly across cirque at toe of ice and block of Index underlain by fault at base of bluff J.M-T stands on rock knob near centre of ice tongue which may or may not be bedrock. At this position. a cluster of large (lm+) angular blocks of white and grey silica rock (recrystallized chert are emerging from melting ice and black morainal debris). The gravelly looking knob at left center can be seen at the right edge of Photo P-02-9.

P-02-9 Glaciated grey phyllite in immediate foreground steps up onto large slab of rock which may be exotic (slumped) piece of Index from up ice. Hump of fme debris on top of knob is point from which Photo P-02-2 was taken looking down to left at right angles to this view.

P-02- 10 Grey phyllite: in foregound in immediate footwall of fault angling upward from left to right across photo. Numerous ptygmatic quartz veins and shear folds like the one above J.M-T’s head arc common in the 10 - 20 metres of the grey phyllite below the fault. This phyllite may be Index at Mohican. Black rock at top ofphoto is Index.
