Introduction

Project Description;

The Nickel Royale property was the subject of a linecutting grid with follow-up magnetometer and V.L.F. surveys March 2003. Work was performed in claim 1246957 and 1246958. There has been no previous work performed on this part of the property.

The linecutting was performed by Jim Forbes, Jim Martin, Burt Duchesneau, and Jim Forbes.

The baseline is 1.5 km long with grid lines at 100 meter intervals. Chaining was done at 25 meter intervals.

The grid lines were cut from L 10WtoL5E and the total meters cut adds to 16.575km.

The magnetometer and V.L.F. surveys were performed by Jim Forbes senior with readings taken at 25 meter intervals.

The Nickel Royale property is held by Novawest Resources Inc.

Geology:

The Nickel Royale property is underlain by Archean rocks of the Wawa subprovince.

Geological mapping has identified:

- Tholeitic Basalts and Andesites- Mafic and Ultramafic intrusives- Felsic intrusives

A considerable amount of work has been performed around the Nicopor deposit approx. l km west of the grid.

Reference;

Geology of Schreiber - Terrace Bay area - District of Thunder Bay Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report 5692 Property (55) - R.W. Pitkanen

Location and Access:

The Nicopor part of the Nickel Roy ale property is located approx. 5 km North of Schreiber On. Access to the property where the linecutting, Magnetometer, and V.L.F. surveys were performed is via a winter road from the North end of Peary St. in Schreiber. This winter road cuts through claim 1246958.

Exploration Program;

Linecutting: 18.075 km Magnetometer Survey:

A Scintrex Magnetometer model MP-2 was used with the diurnal corrected. Readings were taken at 25 meter intervals. See Appendices for instrument specifications.

V.L.F. Survey:

A Geonics EM-16 was used for this survey. Readings were taken at 25 meter intervals. See Appendices for instrument specifications.

Exploration Results:

Magnetometer Survey:

Total field magnetic data indicates two highly magnetic areas (^ 58000 gammas) interpreted as possible Mafic to Ultramafic intrusions.

The northern magnetic high strikes East - West immediately South of the baseline from line 10 West to line 3 East. It varies from 100 - 200 meters in width and appears to grade to a more magnetic phase along the North contact.

The Southern magnetic high strikes east - Northeast 300 - 500 meters south of the baseline from line 2 west to line 525 east. It varies from 25-100 meters in width and appears to thicken to the East.

V.L.F. Survey:

Eight conductors were discovered from this survey (A - H).

A There is a strong in phase and out of phase. It runs from line 8 West to line 3 west. It is 200 -300 meters north of the baseline striking east — Southeast. It is coincidental with an intermittent magnetic high.

B Conductor B may be a continuation of conductor A. Possibly broken by lake interference. It has a moderate to strong in phase and out of phase. It runs from line l West to line 0. It is from 50-100 meters north of the baseline with the same strike as conductor A.

C It is of variable strength and increases in strength towards the center of the conductor. It runs from line 2 West to line 2 east. It is 300 - 400 meters north of the baseline striking east - Northeast.

D It is a moderate to strong in phase and out of phase. It runs from line O to line 3 East. It is 100 - 200 meters north of the baseline striking east - Southeast.

E It is a moderate to strong in phase and out of phase and is coincidental with the shore of a small lake. It crosses the baseline at 2+50 west. It runs from line l West to line 4 West striking East - Southeast.

F It is a moderate to strong in phase and out of phase. It runs from line 3 West to line 2 west. It is 200 meters south of the baseline striking east - Northeast. It is coincidental to a mag low flanking a mag high.

G It is a moderate to strong in phase and out of phase. It runs from line l West to line 0. It is 200 meters south of the baseline striking east - Northeast.

H It is a moderate in phase and no out of phase response. It runs from line 425 East to line 525 east. It is 200 meters south of the baseline striking east - Southeast.

Recommendations:

Follow up prospecting and geochemistry should be done in the vicinity of the V.L.F. conductors and the two zones of magnetic highs. The V.L.F. survey didn't outline any possible massive sulphide deposits, but it wouldn't pick up any disseminated sulphides. Therefore an Induced Polarization survey might be warranted after prospecting has been performed.

Portable ProtonPrecessionMagnetometer

Function

The MP-2 is a portable one gamma proton precession magnetometer (or field survey or base station use. The optimized design of sensor and circuitry using the latest COS/MOS components has resulted in avery light weight, low power consumption, rugged and reliable magnetometer.

Light emitting diodes coupled with an ingenious optically polarized reflector combine solid state reliability with easy reading even in bright sunlight

Coupled with a module into which the MP-2 is easily inserted, the magne tometer can be used as a base station unit for analogue or digital recording. Full details of the MBS-2 Magnetic Base Station are available on another Scintrex specification sheet

The noise-cancelling dual-coil sensor and electronics have been so designed as to effectively eliminate reading problems due to virtually all magnetic gradients which may be encountered in field survey conditions.

Features

1 gamma sensitivity and accuracy over range of 20,000 to 100,000 gammas.

Operates in very high gradients, to 5000 gammas per meter.

Ultra small size and weight.

Up to 25,000 readings from only 8 D cells.

Battery pack isolated from electronics for corrosion protection.

Battery pack easily extended for winter use.

Light emitting diode digital display, with complete test feature

Unique no-glare polarized reflector permits easy reading in bright sunlight.

Indicator light warning of excessive gradient, ambient noise or electronic failure.

Digital readout of battery voltage.

Rugged all metal housing for rough field use at all temperatures.

Automatic recycling or external trigger features permit ready conversion to base station use.

Short reading time.

Broad operating temperature range.

GEONICS EM-16 VLF RADIO INSTRUMENT

The EM16 is the most widely used EM instrument of all time. It measures the local tilt and ellipticity of VLF broadcasts, and resolves these values into inphase and quadrature components of VLF response. The EM16 has discovered several base- and precious-metal ore bodies, and many water-bearing faults.

The EM16R attaches to the EM16 and, using a pair of electrodes, measures the apparent resistivity of the earth. The combined EM16/16R instrument can detect a second earth.layer if the layer occurs within the VLF skin-depth. In addition, the EM16/16R can map resistive alteration for gold exploration.

The TX27 is a portable VLF transmitter supplying a VLF field for surveying with the EM16/16R, if remote broadcasts are weak, intermittent or poorly coupled with the target. For EM16 surveys, the TX27 antenna consists of a long (1 km) grounded wire.
