BRIGUS
PROPERTY
Map 1. Property Location Map
Local Geology
The Drook Formation (Conception Group) underlies the western side of the property and comprises green siliceous siltstone
and sandstone and silicified tuff. The Brigus Fault (Map 2) separates the latter unit from the Harbour Main Group in the centre
of the property, comprising pink to grey felsic tuff and agglomerate, rhyolite and welded tuff and locally amygdaloidal basalt
flows, interbedded with basalt breccia and sedimentary rocks. The Brigus Fault is associated with hydrothermal
alteration and gold mineralization elsewhere in the Avalon Zone (O’Brien and O’Driscoll, 1996). The Conception
Group is brecciated along the fault.

Mineralization
Murray (1880) investigated the reported presence of gold in quartz veins occurring throughout the Brigus area. Grab
samples taken in the early 1990’s returned up to 0.71% Cu (McNamara, 1991). Prospecting in the mid to late 1990’s
(Snow, 2001) resulted in anomalous gold values obtained on several parts of the property, both in quartz veins and
hydrothermally altered rhyolite and basalt flows and breccias. Gold values up to 464 ppb were returned for grab
samples of quartz veins in basalt taken near Brigus Lookout (Brigus Lookout Au Showing, Map 2). These quartz
veins are up to 40 cms across, contain disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite, chlorite and in some localities,
abundant epidote. Blocks of wall rock are locally incorporated in the veins. One vein trending N-S runs anomalous
gold consistently (150 to 454 ppb) and can be traced for more than 0.5 km. Basalts locally contain chalcocite and
malachite, with no development of quartz veins, and in places are in contact with rusty, silicified rhyolite and breccia.
Altered mafic volcanic and mafic intrusive rock near Brigus Lookout assayed 284 ppb Au. Cu values > 2200 ppm
associated with elevated gold (53 ppb) occur in altered rhyolite with malachite staining.
The present owner has resampled the main quartz vein in several places. The best grab taken from the northern
exposure of the vein (Map 2) returned 3.614 g/t Au and 2.31% Cu. The best grab taken from a southern exposure of
the vein on the property returned 0.76% Cu and 45 g/t Ag. Some of the quartz in this vein is chalcedonic and in
places shows a fine banding defined by alternating light and dark grey layers.

Regional Geology
The property lies within the Avalon Tectonostratigraphic Zone of the Newfoundland Appalachians and is underlain by two
principal rock units - the Harbour Main and Conception groups. The Proterozoic Harbour Main Group is a sequence of
volcanic and associated sedimentary rocks and the late Neoproterozoic Conception Group comprises turbidites.
