Summary
Haliburton County Amphibolite- Syenite Study Cardiff Township Group- District of Haliburton
A total of $1 0,462 was spent on the bulk sampling and mapping
program within the claim group in Cardiff Township; a total of total of 9.0
man-days spent evaluating the mica, vermiculite, and mineral potential of
this claim group. Frederick T. Archibald, the author of this report, has
extensive background in evaluation of vermiculite in the area since 1975 for
various companies. The program consisted of: backhoe excavation,
geological mapping, and sampling I beneficiation studies).
A zone of potassic rich calcitic-syenitic marble has been traced
through the claim group within Cardiff Township. This unit is associated with
the contact area of the Cheddar Batholith. At least two areas along this
trend have been studied for a compositional study. The claims studied
consist of five claim groups totallings some 6 units which comprise an area
of 121 hectares.
The purpose of the program was to obtain characteristics of the rim
structure around the Cheddar Batholith as well as studying the size and
concentrating characteristics of the putassic rich micas within this rim
structure of marbles. It appears that this zone of deformation is intercalated
with a zone of amphibolite gneiss along the inner rim and nepheline syenite
to syenite to quartz monzonite around the outer rim. The biotite rich corridor
averages some 36 meters in width on average and is cut by a series
of amphibolite I syenite I monazite I pegmatite dykes.
Generally, the weathered structure that was sampled becomes
competent at depths between 1.5 and 6.0 meters in depth in the area of the
trenching.The rim structure consists of syenitic and calcitic rich gneissic
rocks which surround the Cheddar syenite which consists of an alkalic
syenitic granite material.
The initial program consisted of augur samples and hand trenching
down to approximately 6.0 meters in depth. This initial program was run in
April and May of 2005. The second phase consisted of backhoe excavation
2 using a Cat 320EL excavator which dug down to 6.0 meters depth using a
two-tier excavation platform.
At the west end of the excavation a dolomitic marble with pods of
coarse mica were intersected. This unit, mainly crystalline, occurs at the
contact between amphibolite gneisses and finer grained gneissic (mica
rich) syenitic marbles. At the east end of the trench occurs mica rich
nepheline syenite marbles which could only be trenched a short distance
due to caving of coarse-washed granitic sands.
Mica content within the syenitic marbles (metasomatic carbonatites)
averaged 32.85% mica content which could be increased to 52.66% mica
content upon screening off the plus 2.0 mm size fraction. A majority of the
mica is less than the 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm size fraction.
Concentrating using a Mark III Humphrey Spiral Concentrator can
upgrade the mica concentration to 90.80% mica (89.50% on average).
Tests are presently being run using a one-hundred tonne per hour system
of 48 "double-start" spiral banks to determine flow rates and production
costs.
This program is in compliance with an MNDM bulk-sampling permit,
and will be submitted as compliance with that permit. Land within the permit
area has been reclaimed and rehabilitated.
Pits have been filled and topsoil covered over the excavated areas
which averaged approximately 20 meters by 30 meters. Felled trees were
cut-up by the locals and removed for firewood use. The pit area was
flattened to be designated as a parking area for A TV and snowmobile use
by the trail crossing over the pit area.
The area surrounding has been deSignated for winter cutting in 2006
by the MNR in Bancroft.
3 Introduction-
In the 1920's, nepheline syenite (at Nephton) was discovered on the
east side of the Anstruther Batholith in Metheun Township. Although
nepheline syenite occurs around the rim of the Anstruther and Cheddar
Batholiths, it is of poor quality and has a high iron content which makes it
undesirable.
In the early 1950's ... several uranium, rare earth element, and
vermiculite occurrences were evaluated in the area.
In the early 1970's, Goshawk Resources Inc. and Insulite
Development Corp. located and developed a vermiculite deposit
( Cavendish East Zone) in Cavendish Township which wraps around the
west contact of the Anstruther Granite Batholith. The Anstruther Batholith is
one of a series of alkalic complexes of which the Cheddar Batholith occurs
to the north side of the Anstruther Batholith.
In the 1980's, several zinc showings were outline in the Solerno Lake
area in northern Galway Township by companies such as Teck Corporation
and St. Joseph Minerals Corporation (Breakwater).
In the late 1990's, Jeff Parnell Contracting Ltd. obtained permits over
a 25.0 hectare area for mining the Gull River limestone. Drill indications limit
this deposit to approximately 6.0 meters in depth.
In 2001, Floyd Preston obtained permits to mine syenite traprock in
the southwest corner of Cavendish Township. The rock has been mined
and crushed for road surfacing material, and more recently has been mined
for dimensionstone block. In 2001, Miller Paving obtained permits to mine
granite in Glamorgan Township immediately west of Gooderham.
4 property Description-
The central section of the property is located within the southwest
section of Cardiff Township. This township is located in southern Ontario
between Bancroft and Peterborough. The property consists of six
contiguous unpatented mining claims. The property is located
approximately one hundred and ninty kilometers northeast of Toronto, or
about sixty kilometers northeast of the town of Bobcaygeon. The claims can
be accessed by highway south of Bancroft some 37 kilometers along
Highway #28, north from Apsley for some 16 kilometers along Highway
#28, or some 57 kilometers north of Peterborough along Highway #28.
These claims are located in the Southeastern Ontario Mining
District within the Haliburton District of Southern Ontario. Ministry of Natural
Resources for this area, including Aggregate Mining permits, is under the
Minden and Bancroft jurisdiction.
The original claims consist of six contiguous groups which are
numbered as follows:

5 The length of the operating season is twelve months of the year with
peak seasons being in early Spring and Fall. Timbering is presently going
on in the area and timber roads are kept open by both snowmobiling and
timbering. The main highway between Kinmount and Bancroft cuts through
the central portion of these claims.
Power is available in close proximity to the property along the central
section. Local manpower is available as is heavy machinery. Parts and
fabrications are available in Bancroft which is some thirty-seven kilometers
to the north and Peterborough which is some fifty-seven kilometers to the
south.
The claim group was recorded in 2004.
6 Topography & Vegetation-
The vegetation ranges from dense bush to wide open areas of
mature to semi-mature birch,maple,white pine, spruce and cedar. In
several of the areas, specifically on neighbouring patented lots, the
coniferous trees have been logged off within the past few years. Birch and
maple hardwoods are found on the higher ridge areas and within extensive
sand and gravel deposits. Coniferous trees tend to occupy the lower
swampy areas of the property. Approximately thirty to forty percent of the
property is at lower elevation and covered by varying thicknesses of
overburden.
Around Adams Lake in the south section of the claims are mature
white pine and red pine up to 1/2 to 1.0 meter circumference.
The terrain is generally rolling to flat with overburden thickness
varying from a few centimetres to tens of metres. Overburden depth was
generally greatest in swamp-covered fault areas and erosional gouges left
by glaciation. The effect of glaciation is a series of whalesback ridges which
are highly scoured and scarped along their northern faces. The geological
units of greater resistance tend to be higher and less weathered, hence
being outcrops. A total of five to ten percent of the claims are outcropped,
and less than forty percent of the property has bedrock exposure. In most
cases the bedrock is less than a few metres in depth below the overburden
cover.
7 History of Area-
Nepheline syenite was discovered at Nephton in the late 1920's, and
is presently being mined by Unimin for its refractory qualities in the glass
industry.
Uranium mineralization was discovered in Monmouth and Cardiff
Townships in 1950.
In the 1960's, several trenches were put in the area of the present
claims in search for a deposit of large size mica. With the exception of four
visible trenches, no other work was observed.
From 1975 to 1977, Bright (OGS) mapped Cavendish Township.
In the mid 1970's (1975-1977), another program of renewed
vermiculite exploration occurred in Cavendish Township by Goshawk
Mines Ltd. and Insulite Development Corporation. This work was
abandoned as it was located in close proximity to cottages on Catchacoma
Lake.
In the 1980's and up until 1996, Teck Corporation /Breakwater
Resources Ltd. / St.Joe Gold Explorations explored for zinc in the northern
sections of Cavendish and Galway Townships in the vicinities of Salmon
Lake and Solerno Lake respectively. This was curtailed due to the close
proximity to the cottagers on Solerno Lake.
Between 1992 and 1995, another vermiculite deposit (West Zone)
with inferred resources was discovered to the west of the first vermiculite
discovery. This project is being put into production by Regis Resources Inc.,
and production is estimated for the latter part of 2003.
In 1997, Jeff Parnell applied for a limestone permit in the southeast
corner of Galway Township and has been mining for over the past four
years.
In 2001, Floyd Preston applied for a syenite traprock permit in the
southwest corner of Cavendish Township. Material was stockpiled to the
Fall of 2003, and both road aggregate and dimensionstone block has been
shipped since the Fall of 2003 in small quantities.
8
In 2001, Miller paving started a granite quarry for traprock use in
Glamorgan Township; immediately west of Gooderham.
The Ontario Department of Mines had previously mapped the
sections of Galway, Anstruther, Cavendish, and Cardiff Townships in 1988.
The only active mining presently is for limestone and syenite traprock for
landscaping purposes and road surfacing respectively.
9 Regional Geology-
The area covered by the claims is underlain by carbonate-rich
metasediments of marble and diopside (Grenville Province of the
Precambrian Shield), carbonated biotite-schists (metasediments),
amphibole-rich metasediments, intrusive amphibolite schist, syenite I syenite-gneiss intrusions, pegmatite intrusions, quartz monzonite, and
crystalline limestones. These rocks are of mid Proterozoic age (1280-1300
Ma). The metasediments are formed from metamorphosed limestone.
Bands of altered biotite or amphibolite rich rock can be observed in areas of
intense deformation and shearing.
The structural geology of the Grenville Province is Complex and is
dominated by large-scale regional fold structures that have been folded
and re-folded by tectonism, high-grade metamorphism, and intrusive
activity.
A period of major orogenic deformation occurred pre 1300 Ma when
the volcanic and sedimentary rocks were deposited on the basement rocks.
Felsic Intrusions dating 1240 to 1270 Ma indicates a mid Proterozoic
orogenic period as most of the orogenic period occurred between 1220 to
1160 Ma period. During the Grenville Orogeny, rock units around the
Cheddar Batholith and Anstruther Batholith were metamorphosed and
deformed into flow-folds situated around the rim of these felsic-alkali
batholiths.
The area was glaciated during the Pleistocene. In areas where
geological trend is in a north-south direction the rocks have been scoured
cleanly and little to no glacial till has been deposited. In areas where the
geological trends are east-west, there is some glacial till deposited at the
bases of hills and at the edge of valleys where there are catch-basins. In
some cases there is 1.0 to 3.0 metres of glacial till which is deposited
intermittently (generally within the east-west valleys.
It is believed that the source area for the biotite is from the biotite rich
10 syenite (nepheline syenite) and syenite-breccia units which lie around the
alkalic granite and syenite complexes.
The potassic rich biotite-bearing zones are situated generally in
contact with gneissic shears or amphibolite shears. Phlogopite, tremolite,
and biotite hydrothermally alter to chlorite. In most cases it appears that talc
and serpentinite are negligible.
Geological mapping has located several parallel bands of biotite
bearing marble which diverge and converge around intrusive syenite
granite-gabbro-pyroxenite units. The biotite generally weathers to chlorite
or the iron rich facies. It is thought that some of the zones are actually the
same but are divided by dyke systems of syenite granite, quartz monzonite,
and pegmatite. Generally, the zones are continuous except where block
faulted by northeasterly trending faults. Several of these faults have been
mapped either by topographical controls or geological inconsistencies
between the close-spaced trenches. The major faults in the area are
northeasterly trending; in particular the one hundred meter wide fault which
splays around the west contact of the Anstruther Batholith and the Cheddar
Batholith.

12 Local Geology-
This area is surrounded by amphibolite and biotite gneisses; which
surrround the Anstruther granite batholith. Intercalated with the granite,
syenite, and pegmatite intrusive units are limestone and marble (altered
limestone) units. Within Monmouth and Cardiff Townships are two main
marble complexes which are intercalated with syenite gneiss and
amphibolite gneiss complexes
. Generally the crystalline marbles and the biotite-rich marble units
vary between sixty and eight hundred metres in width, and have been
traced for over ten to fifteen kilometres in length. In some areas they appear
to pinch out but in fact are faulted and displaced.Several amphibolite dykes
and quartz monzonite dykes cut all of the other units.
13 Local Geological Mapping Program-
The biotite- rich gneissic syenite to gneissic amphibolite units are
associated with both the felsic-alkali rich Anstruther Batholith and the
Cheddar granite / granodiorite Pluton. The Anstruther Batholith Intrusive, a
gneissic- oblong structure of fifteen to eighteen kilometers in diameter, is
mainly trodhjemite to granodioritic in composition. The Cheddar Batholith
Intrusive, a gneissic- oblong structure some three to five kilometres in
diameter, is peralkalic alaskite to syenite in composition.
Generally there are two deformation belts which converge in the
central sections and split where the Cheddar Batholith-Anstruther Batholith
and the Burleigh-Anstruther Batholiths meet. These zones dip 45 degrees
northwesterly to vertical (mainly steeply dipping northwesterly).
It appears that the highest amounts of biotite is associated with
steeply dipping or crenulated-banded syenitic-nephelinitic marbles. Where
there is a shallow dip, the marbles appear to be mainly crystalline and only
surficially weathered. The marble units along the west edges of the
Cheddar - Anstruther Batholiths are steeply dipping (southeasterly and
northwesterly).
The syenite complexes on the property are void of potassic rich biotite
mineralization but is enveloped within a potassic rich biotite-amphibolite
outer core. There are several potassic rich shears in associated with quartz
monzonite units which lie at the contact between syenitic marble and
amphibolitic marble. The biotite-amphibolite areas are generally associated
with major fault zones.
The area to the west and the southwest was mapped during the
present reconnaissance program. To the west is a syenite / granite stock
which is surrounded by an amphibolite / amphibolite schist around the
contact. The marble unit pinches out immediately upon grossing Glacial Till
Trail but can be traced to the northeast for at least another 200 meters.
14
2004 Property Mapping-Backhoe Program Specifics-
One area of biotite rich syenite to nepheline syenite rich marble
between amphibolitic gneiss in the east section of the Cheddar syenite
Batholith was tested by preliminary till sampling and hand excavation
trenches followed by backhoe excavation trenching. The marble unit is
divided into two units which are dolomitic marble and gneissic syenitic
marble. Some of the most significant zones are associated with
nephelinitized-syenitized marble. These units wrap around the east side of
the Cheddar Syenite Batholith and are truncated by syenites on the
northeast boundary of the claims.
Mapping of the trenches, placed in an east-west direction and at right
angles to the regional east-west geological trend crossing the claim group
are described as follows:
West Section of trenches progressed from crystalline amphibolite marbles to
a zone of coarse crystallized dolomitic marble to the east. The dolomitic marble
averages some six to eight meters in width and has lenses and pockets of coarse
grained biotite mica.
Mid Section of trenches appear to be gneisSic and fine grained with lenses
and pockets of biotite rich syenitic marble; calc-alkaline variety. The rock is extremely
weathered to below six meters in depth and is made up of coarse calc-alkaline variety
to finer grained amphibolitic variety. Mica content is greater within the finer grained
variety. Mica grade is generally Grade #4 to #5 in the finer variety versus Grade #3 to
#4 in the coarser variety. The coarser variety makes up 25% to 40% of the total
content. This zone is approximately twenty two meters in width. The coarser variety is
made up of lighter coloured material when exfoliated (light to medium beige colour). A
zone of copper rich amphibolite I calcite was observed within this unit trending at a
northwesterly direction and cutting through the marble unit. This has been sent out for
multi-element analysis.
East Section of trenches are made up of biotite-rich nepheline syenite which
15 appear to be hydrothermally porous and "baked".
Within the main core of amphibolitic-syenitic marble are areas of
dolomitic to calcitic marbles and areas of syenite to nepheline syenite.
Throughout are coarse grained monzonitic-amphibolitic gneiss units with
coarser biotite mica.
The vermiculite bearing areas are generally surficial but can be
foundd to a few meters in depth where the gneissic fabric increases.
16
2005 Backhoe Excavation - Bulk Sampling Program Specifics-
The surficial sampling indicated weathered biotite of
silver-grey colour and the backhoe trenching indicated unweathered biotite
of generally golden to black colour. The grade of mica avaeraged the same
in both and in all cases the micas are generally less than 1.0 mm in size.
The host rocks in this area are amphibolitic altered syenites and
amphibolitic metasediments.
The backhoe excavation program indicated an increase
in biotite content along the unweathered rock surface which is below the
weathered layers. Biotite averages are from 5.0% to 9.0% modal
composition of the rock on average. There are concentrated accumulations
against the basal layer at the bottom of the weathered layer which is
generally 0.25 to 6.0 meters below surface. The micas are generally finer
than 1.0 mm. diameter size. The micas are generally golden to black colour
and are of biotite variety.
An average value of 32.85% was taken across a width of
thirty-seven meters and to a depth of approximately six meters. Upon
screening off the plus 2.0 mm size fraction, the grade of mica increased to
41 .30% of the total material. The backhoe excavation material that was sent
for study averaged 49.57% to 52.66% on average but ranging from 44.0%
to 59.0% mica content (screened to minus 2.0 mm size fraction which
includes the minus 18 seive size); indicating that there are variances within
the pit. Increases in grades are also attributed to "hand-cobbing" and
"visual picking" of areas within the pit; as well as removing and piling
overburden and organics which overlie the material. The overburden is
generally 0,20 to 0.30 meters in thickness. Moisture content averaged
12.0% to 15.3% of the total weight; and could be dried to approximately
8.0% by letting it "air-dry" when spread out on a plastic tarp for up to 24.0
hours.
Further trenching to the north indicated that there are
17
"high-grade pockets" with up to 81.89% mica content; although these were
not included in this study. All of the trenches and pits were filled and
rehabilitated; photos being sent to MNDM in Sudbury to substantiate this.
Several hours were spent on rehabilitating Glacial Till Trail at the delight of
the local cottagers. Fallen trees were cleaned up and used by the locals for
fire-wood.
A total of 136 tonnes of material was sent to Queen's
University for concentrating tests using Humphrey Spirals. The average
cost of mining I shipping (+- 200 km) I rehabilitation is approximately
$17.00 per tonne.
Generally, a ratio of one-third solid to two-thirds water
provided an optimum slurry ratio for highest mica concentrates within the
Humphrey Spiral. The slurry was mixed in a "paddle-wheel" mixing tank and
then pumped to a slurry tank before being fed to the Humphrey Spiral. The
average results, passing the slurry one time through the Humphrey Spiral,
averaged 89.500/0 mica concentrate. This mixture varied between 88.20%
and 90.80% mica concentrate. Middlings cocentrates averaged 76.30%
mica content (varying between 73.80% and 78.900/0 mica content).

18 Description of Beneficiation Results
The samples were downsized and the aluminosilicate
mica minerals were separated after drying by air separation techniques to
determine the percentile of the micas. All of the micas are biotite origin from
both calcitic carbonate and dolomitic syenite rock types, These can be
divided into amphibolitic and marble-type rocks. The biotite shows a
variation from unaltered to chloritic alteration and varies from sample to
sample and lense to lense. Sizing and grade characteristics was used after
James Hindman of Dillon, Montana whereby grade 2 is + 2.0 millimeters
diameter, grade 3 is 1.0 to 2.0 millimeters diameter, grade 4 is 0.5 to 1.0
millimeter diameter, and grade 5 is anything less than 0.5 millimeter
diameter.
After sorting the crystallized sand grains are
microscopically determined as to their origin descrition. For the most part
the rocks are divided into altered calcitic syenite (including nepheline
syenites) and calcitic amphibolite rock units. Both of these units have been
cut by younger amphibolites, amphibolite gneisses, quartz monzonites, and
pegmatites.
19
The surficial sampling indicated weathered biotite of
silver-grey colour and the backhoe trenching indicated unweathered biotite
of generally golden to black colour. The grade of mica avaeraged the same
in both and in all cases the micas are generally less than 1.0 mm in size.
The host rocks in this area are amphibolitic altered syenites and
amphibolitic metasediments.
The backhoe excavation program indicated an increase
in biotite content along the unweathered rock surface which is below the
weathered layers. Biotite averages are from 5.0% to 9.0% modal
composition of the rock on average. There are concentrated accumulations
against the basal layer at the bottom of the weathered layer which is
generally 0.25 to 1.2 meters below surface. The micas are generally finer
than 1.0 mm. diameter size. The micas are generally golden to black colour
and are of biotite variety.
20
Conclusjons-
One area which extends around the contact areas of the
eastern section of the Cheddar Batholith was trenched and mapped by this
program to determine modal makeup and characteristics of the rocks
surrounding the alkalic batholith structures. Studies have been performed
on the amphibolitic and syenitic calcitic to dolomitic marbles within these
sectors. With interest is an isolated north-south trending zone which
averages some 21.0 to 34.0 meters in width; and in particular a biotite-rich
zone of syenite (calc.-alkaline) marble.
The Cheddar Batholith is a rounded syenitic alkalic
complex of approximately one third the size of the Anstruther Batholith and
located at the north contact area of the Anstruther Batholith. Both are
coarse-grained structures. A well-defined fault, approximately one hundred
meters in width, cuts the west section of both batholith structures.
Generally there is a corridor of gneisSiC material around
the contacts of the the Cheddar Batholith. The inner ring, on the contact
with the primary batholith inlier struture, are amphibolite and amphibolite
gneiss units which are generally biotite and calcitic rich. Further away from
the core the units appear to be calcitic rich and syenitic rich structures which
grade into syenites and quartz monzonites.
Mica, consisting of mainly biotite, averages approximately
32.850/0 mica content within these units and when screened to minus 2.0
mm it averages between 41,300/0 mica and up to 49.57% mica in some
areas. Some vugs and cavities will be of higher grade (averaging between
49.57% and 52.66% mica content). The micas are generally fine and less
than 2.0 mm diameter.
A total of 136 tonnes of material was sent for concentrate
studies, and it was found that by mixing a slurry with 2:1 solid to water ratio
that with one pass through the Humphrey Spiral; a concentrate (screened
to minus 1.0 mm size) could obtain an 89.50% concentrate of mica on
21 average; with up to 90.800/0 mica concentrate achievable. This percentage can be increased by using a Mark-VII Humphrey Spiral system versus the Mark-III Humphrey Spiral System used for the testing.
Tests were being run on an "eight-tonne per hour" bank of spirals, and tests will continue using a "one hundred tonne per hour system" at which time flow rates and costs will be analyzed.

Summary Qf Beneficiation & Analyses
A} Quallflcations-F.T. Archibald has been benefiCiating mica since 1978 to present, and
F.T. Archibald has been beneficiating mica since 1980 to present. In 1997, a bulk sample resource calculation was on beneficiation of mica in the Cavendish Township area of Southeastern Ontario and results were confirmed as reliable and consistent and that the tests performed by F.T. Archibald and F.T. Archibald Consulting Ltd. conformed to Industry standards according to prefeasibility studies done by Dino Titaro, P.Eng. and Peter George, P.Geo. of A.C.A.Howe International (April, 1997).
B} Sampling Technique-The samples were taken over widths of 4.0 to 5.0 meters across the
horizontal face of a vertical-trenched wall. The sample channel, some 10.0 cm. wide by 5.0 cm. depth, were carved out of the face along the total 4.0 to 5.0 distance and placed on a plastiC sheet at the bottom of the trench. The sample is then mixed and "coned" followed by halfing and quartering the "cone" until a representative sample is taken. The sample is collected in large freezer bags; one of which is used for the beneficiation study and the other stored for future use.
C} Beneficiation Analysls-Each sample is placed into aluminum pans for drying so that the
moisture content is generally at between 8.0 to 15.0 percent. As the mica is generally finer than the #7 mesh sieve( +-2.80 mm opening} it is dry screened and the finer fraction minus 2.80 mm is taken for beneficiation. In some cases where the mica is visually finer, it is re-screened through the #10 mesh sieve (+-2.00 mm opening) and the finer fraction beneficiated.
Material oversize is generally not used in the analyses and tends to be mica-free. The undersize is heated with a propane torch whereby the lighter micaceous material is blown onto a skirt while the heavier gangue mineral stays within the pan. Once dry, the mica is blow-separated from the calcium-carbonate to dolomitic sand material. This process take approximately 2.0 to 3.0 hours per sample. The material, when decanted from the apron-skirt, is poured off and the fine dust material added back to the gangue material. This dust material usually accounts for less than 5.0% of the total material. Checks are done on mica loss by using water-flotation, and then added back into the original process as a second middling.
Weight of gangue fraction is compared to weight of mica fraction to determine the percentage by weight of mica content. By comparing the dry weights to the initial weights the moisture contents can be determined.
Loss factor is generally +-2.5% of the total weight; usually as fine dust.
