GEOTECHNICAL REPORT
ON THE
CLENOR BULK SAMPLE AND ASSAY PROGRAM
STRATHY TOWNSHIP
SUDBURY
MINING
DIVISION
DISTRICT OF NIPISSING, ONTARIO
INTRODUCTION
The claim group consists of four (4) contiguous patented mining
claims located in the Strathy township, District of Nipissing.
The property
includes a 500 foot shaft and approximately 2500 feet of underground development.
Ownership of the claims have been attested to by Gwen Resources Ltd.,
of 103 Government Road East, Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and was not independently
ascertained by the writer.
The work of extensive assaying and bulk sample was proposed after
the 1991 diamond drill program was completed.
The work was done to confirm
old assay results on the No. l vein also known as the Beanland Vein or Clenor
Vein which was extensively tested in 1950 by R. Storen.
Most of the underground workings followed the Beanland Vein and before
any underground access would be considered the surface extension of the vein
had to be explored.
Results from any testing or bulk sample taken would help
to better provide any possible or probable ore reserves.
The contractor hired was Alex Maclntyre and Associates Ltd.
They
provided all the necessary equipment including a Backhoe, D-6 Dozer and a
-2-
Gardener-Denver Hydraulic Track Drill.
Before the bulk sample was removed and the blast/sample holes
drilled the vein was stripped and was mapped in detail.
Upon completion of the mapping the blast/assay holes were started.
Most of the work was concentrated first on the east side of the raise in
the major ((high grade zonew then the drilling was completed on the west side
of the raise.
The bulk sample was removed from the exploration trench and
shipped to the Kerr-Addison Mine in Virginiatown, Ontario.
The claim group consists of four patented mining claims numbered
TRT4249, TRT4250, TRT4257 and JS62.
The property is accessed from the town
of Temagami North on Highway ?11 and west on the former Sherman Mine access
road for approximately one mile.
A bush road going north will give direct
access to the property and in particular mining claim TRT4257 where the bulk
sample was caken.
(See Figure 1).
GENERAL GEOLOGY
The Clenor Property lies in a belt of mafic to felsic metavolcanic
rocks interbedded with iron formation and metasedimentary rocks all striking
in a northeasterly direction.
This has all been intruded by ultramafic to
felsic plutonic rocks, and Lake Nipissing diabase and lamprophyre dikes
intrude all other rocks.
Some older volcanic and sedimentary rocks have been
folded and faulted into the broad Tetapaga Lake syncline.
The Clenor property occurs between a series of sheared, carbonatized

rhyolite flows to the north and massive pillowed andesite and basalt to
the south. The strike of these rocks have a northeast direction, dip steeply
to the southeast and are also facing southeast. These two massive flows are
separated by a large, highly deformed iron formation.
PREVIOUS WORK
The Temagami area was the scene of very active prospecting and
developmental/mining ventures during the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's.
In 1973
a caution was applied by the Indigenous Bear Island Band against all crown
land and closed this land to all forms of exploration and work.
In 1991
Strathy township was opened and exploration work could be performed again.
The history of the Clenor property begins in 1929 when it was first
staked by Sidney Beanland, and then optioned by Consolidated Mining and Smelting
Co.
The company performed trenching, bulk sampling and diamond drilling.
From this work a target was discovered which was approximately 160 feet long
and 45 feet wide assaying 0.31 oz./ton of Au and 1.8 oz./ton of Ag.
The pro
perty was then optioned to Goodfish Mines Ltd. and then to Beanland Mining
Co. Ltd. A three (3) compartment shaft, 500 feet deep, with underground work
on 3 levels was completed by 1938.
This included 2,758 feet of drifting and
raising and 2,835 feet of underground drilling.
Perron Gold Mines Ltd. optioned the property in 1946 and performed
3729 feet of surface drilling.
Little work was done until 1991 when Gwen
Resources Ltd. took the property option.
In 1983 Sherritt-Gordon Mines Ltd.
did evaluate the property and estimated total reserves on the Clenor as
24,000 tons grading 0.22 oz./ton Au.
-4-
The most recent work was performed by Gwen and involved a detailed
program of linecutting, magnetometer and VLF surveys as well as geological
mapping, trenching and diamond drilling. Two types of mineralization can be
found on the property, one type being auriferous quartz-carbonate veins with
combinations of pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite minerals present.
The other is a simpler quartz vein with a combination of chalcopyrite, arse
nopyrite and pyrite mineralization.
The auriferous pyrite-sulphide quartz veins are the most important
mineral structures and most of the underground development work has been
performed on them.
The Beanland vein which this present program was carried
out on is of this nature.
This main vein is contained within a zone of shearing and altera
tion at least 50 feet wide.
This altered zone cuts a series of mafic rocks
and pyritic smaller interflow sediments. A main characteristic of this zone
is strong carbonate, sericitic-chloritic quartz alteration zones which are
cut by stringers, veins and irregular masses of quartz and carbonate.
Pyrite
crystal aggregates are scattered throughout this alteration zone. While
these aggregates are for the most part irregularly distributed they more
commonly occur adjacent to vein walls.
The margins are very ragged and have numerous irregular fragments
and xenoliths of highly altered wall rock and sulphides.
The minerals that
occur, such as pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite, are found in
disseminated concentrations distributed throughout the veins. The gold
values which do occur will vary with the concentration of the sulphides in
the vein and the wall rock.
-5-
The diamond drill program Involved seven holes approximately 145 feet
in length for a total footage of 1000 feet. The seven holes drilled were de
signed to intersect the main vein zone, and the surrounding shear zone as well
as the faulted extension of the main vein northeast of the shaft. (See Appendix
l - Report on Diamond Drill Program, Clenor Project, by D. R. Hawke and Mary
Mahood-Greer.)
FIELD OBSERVATIONS AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The location of the percussion blast/assay holes and the actual
location of the bulk sample taken can be found on Map No.: 92 - Clenor-5 at
a horizontal scale of l inch to 20 feet found at the back of this report.
An area was stripped off from L 0-KX) approximately 1+50 N to 1+80 N
widening at L 1+00 E
to 1+75 N.
1+70 N to 2+15 N and narrowing at L 1+95 E from 1+65 N
The vein was found to be in a zone of highly sericitic and chloritic
oasalt with irregular quartz veins, masses and stockworks.
The sulphide mine
ralization was very irregular and there was highly altered fragments and xenoliths of wall rock of different sizes.
Alex Maclntyre and Associates Ltd. were engaged to extract and haul
the bulk sample.
The oulk sample was taken based on the chip hole assays, the
mineralized zone was mapped out and considered for ore only after return of
the assays.
Most of the high gold values were concentrated immediately east
of the raise, then the zone pinches in and widens approximately twenty feet
east, the gold values again are also high.
The bulk sample was also extended to the west (see Figure 2) and
was generally wider but lower gold values.
The zone appears to narrow at

The west half of the bulk sample was difficult to remove due to the

broken up crumbly rock and frozen water caused more waste rock to be mixed in
with the ore.
This caused considerable dilution of the ore when it was blasted
and hauled to the mill.
The bulk sample was the prerequisite test for the compatabil ity of the
wnole ore body, with Kerr Addison 's milling process and with the Environmental
Standards requirements.
The test proved to be positive for the milling process,
the ore was compatible to the mill with 95.; gold recovery.

:oNCLjs:OiNs AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The original project plans consisted of ~wo Phases,
jeing surface diamond drill-'ng which was completed - r, 1 991.
"he -irst phase
"he second ^

was to involve driving an adit into the side of the hill in which the vein
is located or to dewater the shaft and take access to the underground workings
via the shaft.
However, after the first phase, it was determined that this
proposed work would not be practical nor economical, so it was decided to take
a DU!k sample from the near surface exposure.
The high assay values were pre
sent as anticipated, especially high with the areas of high sulphide concentra
tions distributed as disseminated aggregates throughout the vein.
Some areas
did not give the high gold values having little sulphide mineralization and
the main vein was hosted in a wide mineralized shear/alteration zone with many
other irregular quartz veins, masses and stockworks.
Due to the vein pinching and swelling with an irregular nature and
the sulphide mineralization, noted in the diamond drilling program, are only
of a limited use in defining the internal structure and grade distribution of
tne mineralized quartz vein for reserve estimation purposes.
A recommendation
would De to dewater the old workings and map and sample the veins.
This is
tne Tiost efficient way to evaluate the veins, and with crosscutting and shortnole drilling a clearer picture could be obtained of potentially mineable zones.
Also further surface drilling must be considered.
This program should involve
a minimum of 10,000 feet with eacn nole being approximately 1000 to 1200 feet
~n length to test the values of aown dip ore zones.
rhe silver content :n -.he ore was found to be of a higher percentage
after milling than first anticipated and caused a major dilution of the gold
ore.
The cause of this .vas orooaoly due to a pod of silver hidden in the very
•ign erratic values of goia ana silver,
Cooa11-Temagami camps,
as well as zinc,
'he occurrance :s quite common in the
,-lore attention must De paid to the percentage of silver
'here -is a c-ossiDil ity of a base metal anomaly on the property
ana it couid De accessed from underground as well.
-8-
The mill results were not as high as expected.
Care must be taken
to have the best haulage rates possible and larger trucks (larger weight licence
per axle).
Money was lost because of the winter haulage problems.
All of the ore was stockpiled in the yard rather than being directly
dumped into the crusher and therefore directly into the mill.
Since the ore
was stockpiled, where it froze and had to be blasted, it was handled twice wnich
put up the costs of the milling.
Since the bulk sample was taken during the month of January 1992, ~ ~
.vas very cold and experienced a lot of dilution of ore aue to overload of no~.es.
Because of the cold weather, the trench had to be 9 feet wide and especially
going west of the raise a lot of waste rock was hauled to the mill.
For any future worK an adit must be driven in underground to meet me
underground workings or the shaft 50 feet to 75 feet below surface.
rrom this
access an underground sample could be taken in a prooerly controlled mineaole
•vidth so there would be less dilution and more control of assays .^nugget effect).

The Clenor claim group, controlled by Gwen Resources Ltd. is located in Strathy
Township in the district of Nipissing, Ontario. The property consists of four contiguous
patented claims numbered JS62, TRT 4257. TRT 4249, and TRT 4250. During the
1930's and 40's Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co., Goodfish Mines Ltd. and
Beanland Mining Co Ltd. completed an extensive exploration program on the property
consisting of mapping, trenching, drilling and underground Development. Two separate
auriferous quartz vein structures were discovered. The property was subsequently
optioned to Perron Gold Mines Ltd. and more drilling was carried out. Kelly (1983) reevaluated the property and calculated in situ reserves as 24.000 tons grading 0.22
oz/ton Au plus surface stockpiles totalling 4,145 tons at 0.12 oz/ton Au.
In 1991 Gwen Resources completed a program of linecutting, trenching, geologies
surveying and diamond drilling on the property.

INTRODUCTION
The Clenor property consists of four patented mineral claims in Strathy township.
Nipissing district, Ontario. Gold bearing quartz veins up to 6 ft (1.83m) wide are
exposed in an extensive network of surface trenches. During the period of 1920 -1945
those quartz veins were explored in a series of underground workings. A 4,000 tb
(1.814 tonnes) bulk sample assaying 0.34 ozAon (1.66 g/t) Au and 1.8 oz/ton (61.71 g/t)
Ag was removed from the main vein at surface.
In December 1991 Gwen Resources Ltd. undertook a 1.000 foot (304.8m) drilling
program on the Clenor property to probe the main vein structures and to explore the
continuity of the vein between surface and the underground workings on the 175 foot
level.

PROPERTY LOCATION AND ACCESS
The Clenor property is located approximately 8 kilometers northwest of the town e
Termagami, Ontario, in central Strathy township. It consists of four contiguc
surveyed, patented mining claims numbered TS 62, TRT 4257, TRT 4249 and T;
4250. (Figure 1). Ownership of these claims has been attested to by Mr. Perron an:
was not independently verified by the author.
Access to Strathy township is provided by provincial highway 11 which cresses '
eastern portion of the township.
The claim group itself can be accessed from highway 11 via the Kanichee Mine read
the Sherman Mine road and thence by bush roads (figure l). A seasonal rea
branching off the Kanichee Mine road provides access to the northern portion of tt-:
claims. Gwen Resources Ltd. refurbished an old forest access road off the Sherm?Mine road to provide access to the southern and central portions of the claim group.

PREVIOUS AND PRESENT WORK
Strathy township was the scene of very active prospecting and mining programs during
the 1930's and 1940's. This work continued sporadically until 1973 when a caution was
applied by the local Indian band against all crown land in a large area that included
Strathy township. The caution was lined for Strathy township in 1991 and this area was
opened for staking by the Ontario government in January, 1992. Numerous showings,
deposits and past producers are located in Strathy township. Gold, iron, nickel and
copper have all been previously mined at various properties in the township.
The Clenor claims were first staked In 1929 by Sidney Beanland and subsequently
optioned to Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. The latter carried out an exploration
program consisting of trenching, bulk sampling and diamond drilling. This work
delineated an ore shoot 50m (160 ft) long and 1.4 m (4.6 ft) wide assaying 10.63 g/t
(0.31 oz/ton) Au and 61.71 g/t (1 .Soz/ton) Ag. The property was subsequently optioned
to Goodfish Mines Ltd. and then to Beanland Mining Co Ltd. By 1938 a five hundred
foot, 3 compartment shaft with development on three levels was completed. A total of
2,758 linear feet of drifting and raising plus 2.835 ft. of underground drilling was carried
out.
In 1946 the property was optioned to Perron Gold Mines Ltd. and subsequently tc
Clenor Mines. A total of 1,135 m (3720 ft.) of surface drilling was completed. The
property lay dormant until 1983 when Sherritt-Gordon Mines Ltd. evaluated the property
and sampled the surface stock piles. Kelly (1983) estimated total reserves on the
Ctenor property as 24,000 tons grading 0.22 oz/ton Au.
in 1991 Gwen Resources Ltd. undertook a program of linecutting, VLF anc
magnetometer surveying, trenching and diamond drilling on the Clenor claims.

REGIONAL AND PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The geology of the area has been mapped for the Ontario government by Moorehouse
(1942), Bennett (1978) and Fyon and Crockett (1986). The Clenor claim group i?
located in a northeast trending belt of mafic to felsic metavolconfc rocks intercalated with
iron formation and metasedimentary rocks. This assemblage has been intruded by
ultramafic to felsic plutonic rocks. Late Nipissing diabase and lamprophyre dikes intrude
all other rocks in the area. The older volcanic and sedimentary rocks have been folded
into a faulted, broad synclinal structure called the Tetapaga Lake syncline (Bennett.
1978).
The Clenor property straddles the contact between a series of sheared and
carbonatized rhyolite flows to the north and massive, pillowed andesite and basalt to the
south, (figure 2.) These rocks strike in a northeast direction, dip steeply to the
southeast and face southeast. The contact between the two rock units is marked by B
unit of oxide facies iron formation that is highly deformed. A northeasterly trending
zone, the Vermillion Lake - Net Lake deformation zone follows the mafic-felsic contact
and the iron formation unit.
Two types of mineralization are known on the Clenor property:
1.
pyrite-galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite bearing quartz-carbonate veins carrying
gold, and
2.
chalcopyrite-arsenopyrite-pyrite bearing quartz veins.
The auriferous, pyrite-sulphide bearing quartz veins are presently the most important
known mineralized structures on the Clenor claims. These veins have received the bulk
of the development work to date and they were the target of the drill program which ;?
the subject of this report. The veins are up to 1.8m (6 ft) wide, with a strike c
approximately 60 degrees and a dip of 85 degrees southeast. The main vein pinches
and swells and it has been traced for approximately 213m (700 ft) along strike. it rw
been displaced up to 21m (70 ft) by younger, north trending faults. The mer
productive sections of the vein are characterized by silica-sulphide assemblage
whereas the barren sections are comprised predominantly of carbonate and quart:
without sulphides. Drilling has shown the main vein Is contained within a zone c
shearing and alteration at least 15.2m (50 ft.) wide. In the vicinity of the shaft this zonr
cuts a sequence of mafic volcanic rocks and thin, pyritic interflow sediments. The zone
is characterized by strong carbonate (ferroan), chlorite, sericite, quartz alteration
assemblages cut by numerous stringers, irregular masses and veins of quartz anc
carbonate. Irregularly distributed patches of medium to coarse pyrite crystal aggregate,
are scattered throughout the alteration zone. This pyrite clearly post dates the ean-fine grained, nodular variety associated with the interflow sediments. Pyritization
normally most intense adjacent to vein walls. The main vein as well as other 'arc-:
veins in the alteration zone are characterized by ragged margins and they contain
numerous, irregular fragments of highly altered wall rocks and sulphides. Scattered
disseminated concentrations of pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite a..
distributed throughout the veins.
Gold values vary sympathetically with the
concentration of sulphides in the vein and wall rock.
Details of the auriferous arsenopyrite bearing quartz veins in the northern section of the
property are scarce. Thte type of mineralization appears to be similar to the Leckie
deposit about 2.2 km (1.4 miles) to the east.
".'aa.?
DRILL PROGRAM
A total of 304.8m (1000 ft.) were drilled in seven holes to test the main vein on the
Clenor property. Parameters for these drill holes are fisted in Table 1 and the logs are
attached as Appendix A. Hole locations are plotted on Figure 2.

Holes CL-91 -1 and CL-91 -2 were designed to Intersect the main vein zone and thsurrounding shear zone to define the attitude of the vein and to check for mineralizaticin the wall rock. Both holes collared in massive basalt and intersected a zone of h!g!~
sericitic and chlortic basalt cut by Irregular quartz veins, masses and stockworks. Thr^
zones were evident over a core length of 22.7m (74.5 ft), in hole CL-91-1 and ovecore length of 23.5M (77.1 ft) in hole CL-91-2. Mineralization in both the quartz v*and the wall rock was found to be irregularly distributed. Therefore, duo to the \'. rr--metreage available for the drill program hole CL-91 -3 was designed to test the contmu
of the mineralization by drilling along the vein between the surface and the undergroir
drift on the 175 mine level. This hole indicated that the vein contacts and the distribut-r
of sulphide mineralization was highly irregular. Also, the vein contained numero
highly altered fragments of wallrock of varying sizes. The hole was terminated v/r.en
bit broke through into the underground workings.
Holes CL-91 -4,5 and 6 were spotted in order to probe the faulted extension of the main
vein northeast of the shaft. These holes encountered a wider shear/alteration zone e-~
in holes CL-91 -1, 2 but the main vein proved to be more continuous down dip and the
sulphide mineralization was more homogeneously distributed than the main vein
southwest of the shaft. Hole CL-91-6 was stopped after it entered the undergound
workings at 38.7m (127ft).

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
i '
i-i
The main vein at the Clenor property was observed to pinch and swell irregularly along
strike and down dip. Gold values generally varied sympathetically with the sulphide
content of the veins and the sulphides were distributed irregularly as disseminated
aggregates throughout the vein. A wide mineralized shear/alteration zone hosted the
main vein as well as many other irregular quartz veins, masses and stockworks. The
wall rock was mineralized with pyrite and it carried low grade gold values. The main
vein Is flanked by a number of parallel veins and stockworks within the wider alteration
zone.
Due to the irregular nature of the quartz veins and the contained sulphide mineralization
intercepts from surface drill holes are only of limited use in defining the internal
morphology and grade distribution of the mineralized quartz veins for reserve estimation

purposes. Accordingly it is recommended that the most efficient way of evaluating the
veins will be to dewater the old workings. This will allow for a careful mapping,
sampling, crosscutting and short hole drilling program to be carried out to block out
potentially mineable zones.
