Introduction
In the summer of 2010, Eagle Ridge Minerals Ltd. conducted a one day reconnaissance
program over the claims held on the Woodford’s Cove section of the Little Bay property.
The license number is 016021M. The goal was to verify the existence of two showings as
indicated on the NL government’s Minerals Occurrence Database and to prospect the
area for any further mineralization. This report documents the results of this work.
Expenditures for the program are contained in Appendix A.
Location and Access
The Woodford’s Cove claims are located at the northeast tip of the Halls Bay Head
Peninsula, 18 km northeast of the town of Springdale, NL (see Figure 1),which is 531
km from St John’s traveling west along the Trans Canada Highway. The nearest airport
is 160 km to the southeast near the town of Deer Lake.
The Woodfords Cove Property offers no road access. It can be reached by boat or
helicopter. The claim group is transected by several intersecting ATV trails that seem to
originate from sites where boats can be brought into shore.
Physiography
The north side of Halls Bay is a moderately rugged coastline with a strong northeast
trend; the country is heavily wooded and dotted with small to medium sized ponds, with
marshes and bogs in lower ground and where drainage is poor, relief is in the 175 m
range.
Property Claim Status
The Woodford Cove property is covered by mineral exploration License #016021 and
contains 5 mineral claims of 25 hectares each giving a total property area of 125 hectares.
This property will require work prior to June 30 2010.

Previous Work
H.J. MacLean mapped the Little Bay area in 1938 and 39 for the Geological Survey of
Newfoundland. Paul Dean (1977) noted mineralization at this particular location on his
series of metallogenic maps for the Norte Dame Bay, which were part of a Masters
Thesis at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
The area is within the Hall's Bay North Concession of Brinex and has been covered by
regional mapping, geochemistry and airborne geophysics. For the details of work in the
area refer to the Little Bay Mine - 2E/12/Cu030 which lies 5 km to the westsouthwest. In 1987, the occurrence was staked by Ionex Ltd. and in 1988, transferred to
10019 Nfld. Ltd.
Regional Geology
The Little Bay area primarily consists of the Early to Middle Cambrian Lushes Bight
Group which formulates most of the property. The Little Ward Harbour North (including
the Woodfords Cove Showing) and South sections contain rock units from the Early to
Middle Ordovician. This group of rocks may be categorized as the Cutwell Group but
further reconnaissance must take place in order to make this accurate. The property lies
within the Notre Dame Subzone of the Dunnage, within the Appalachian orogen. The
Lushes Bight Group consists predominantly of dark to light green massive to pillowed
basalt, pillow breccia, aquagene tuff and chert, dark grey pillow basalt, sheeted diabase
and gabbro. Other locations of the group show mafic plutonic intrusions, situated within
the Little Bay and Little Ward Harbour South sections on the property. The seemingly
Cutwell Group consists also of volcanic mafic marine rock

Local Geology
Paul Dean notes the Woodfords Cove occurrence on his map as being pyrite and
chalcopyrite in schistose pillow lavas; according to his metallogenic classification the
occurrence is a "Betts Cove Type" deposit.
Volcanogenic massive sulphide bodies contained within ophiolitic volcanic rocks of
Notre Dame Bay have many similar diagnostic features and are grouped together as the
"Betts Cove Type" since the Betts Cove deposit was the first described ophiolitic
copper deposit from Newfoundland (Upadhyay and Strong, 1973)
Betts Cove Type deposits occur within mafic volcanic rocks, generally pillow lava and
pillow breccia, and have relatively simple mineralogy (pyrite, chalcopyrite,
sphalerite). Some of these deposits, such as Betts Cove, occur near the contact zone
between the sheeted dyke complex and overlying pillow lavas. Others such as the York
Harbour Mine in the Bay of Islands ophiolite complex occur well above the sheeted dyke
horizon in mafic pillow lavas and aquagene tuffs.
Most of the Betts Cove Type massive sulphide deposits occur in the Lush's Bight Group,
which has more copper prospects per unit area than any other group of rocks in
Newfoundland. The various showings, prospects and former mines occur in mafic
volcanics associated with chlorite schist zones. According to Kennedy and DeGrace
(1972), the chlorite schist zones have an early schistosity not present in the surrounding
rocks, suggesting that these zones were areas of structural weakness during the early
deformational history of the Lush's Bight Group (Dean, 1977, p. 13).
The Woodfords Cove mineralization is described in the Newfoundland government’s
Mineral Occurrence Database as follows:
The Little Ward Harbour North section of the Little Bay property hosts two showings for
the area, The Woodford Cove Occurrence and The Osmond Cove Showing. The only
commodity at the Woodford showing is copper. Mineralization is located within the
schistose pillow lava containing chalcopyrite and pyrite. The Osmond Cove Showing
consists as a vein of massive pyrite. The vein is 15 to 30 cm wide, hosted within sheared
metabasalt pillow lava, striking southeast to south and dipping approximately 50 – 60
degrees west.
Prospecting and Mapping
On June 3, 2010 Eagle Ridge Resources sent a six person crew by boat to prospect and
map the Woodfords Cove property. Three people were dropped off near the northern
boundary of the license, near the Osmond Cove Showing and three were dropped off
closer to the southern boundary, near the Woodford’s Cove Showing. Both crews covered
the ground on east-west traverses, across the local geology, prospecting and mapping. An
effort was made to locate and verify both the showings on this ground.
A total of 15 grab samples (Appendix B) were taken and a portion of the ground was
mapped (Appendix C). It was not possible to cover the entire claim in one day due to
time constraints imposed by the 2 & 1/2 hour boat trip each way.
