SUMMARY

Mustang Minerals Corp. (Mustang) acquired the River Valley property in early 1999 in order to explore the River Valley gabbro-anorthosite intrusion for economic concentrations of contact-type platinum group metal mineralization. First phase exploration on the North Grid was initiated in early November and geological mapping commenced on November 12, 1999 and was completed by December 1, 1999. During this time a total of approximately 48 line kilometres of grid were systematically mapped (1:5000), sampled, prospected and also covered by a ground magnetic survey. A total of 83 locations were sampled and submitted for assay.

The mapping, sampling and prospecting program confirmed that the intrusive contact on the North Grid hosts anomalous to highly anomalous concentrations of Au+Pt+Pd (PGM) with a best assay of 2503ppb PGM. A program of IP followed by trenching and stripping over selected anomalies in areas with thin overburden cover is recommended. Diamond drilling should subsequently test the continuity of the best targets at depth.

INTRODUCTION

Mustang Minerals Corp. (Mustang) acquired the River Valley property in early 1999 in order to explore the River Valley gabbro-anorthosite intrusion for economic concentrations of contact-type platinum group metal (Au+Pt+Pd) mineralization. The first phase 1999 exploration program was initiated in early November with linecutting. Between November 12 and December 1, 1999, approximately 48km of 200m grid were systematically mapped at 1:5000, sampled, prospected and also covered by a ground magnetic survey (Patrie, 1999). Analytical results are presented in Appendices 1 and 2, respectively. The North Grid Bedrock Geology map (1:5000 scale), and the Sample Location and PGM Assay Data map (1:5000 scale) are located in Pockets 1 and 2, respectively, at the back of this report.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The River Valley property is located approximately 50km east of Sudbury and covers roughly 8200 hectares (see Figure 1). The claims occur within NTS 411/09 and are centred on latitude 490 36' N and longitude 800 17' W (554892mE, 5160746mN, UTM Zone 17, NAD 27) as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Excellent year round access to the property can be gained from Sudbury by travelling east on Highway 17 to Warren, and then northwards on Highway 539 to the town of River Valley. Access to the North Grid is via two gravel roads that extend to the northeast from Highway 539a just north of the town of River Valley. Additionally, several logging and hunting trails provide access to both the western and eastern portions of the grid. Supplies and accommodations are available at the town of River Valley (see Figure 2).

TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION

The terrain in the vicinity of the North Grid is generally flat and swampy with overburden (predominantly sand) covered areas exhibiting flat to rolling topography. Overall relief is in the order of 55m and ranges from 260m up to approximately 315m above sea level. The area is poorly to moderately well drained and forested by black spruce, pine, birch and poplar. In lower wet areas the cover is typically spruce, cedar, tamarack, labrador tea and sphagnum-covered muskeg.

Overburden is typically composed of glaciofluvial (gravel and sand) and glaciolacustrine (sand, gravelly sand and gravel) deposits (Barnett et al., 1991). Locally, glacial striae on exposed bedrock indicate an approximate north-south ice flow direction. Newman (1996) reports that the overburden covering the western and northern portions of the intrusion is characterized by a relatively thin veneer of till over intermittent bedrock knobs.

Water suitable for drilling is readily available from rivers, creeks, streams and numerous beaver ponds

PROPERTY

The River Valley PGM property (see Figure 3) consists of 54 contiguous, unpatented mining claims, totalling 511 units covering approximately 8176 hectares. The claims are located in Crerar (G-2903), Dana (G-2094), Gibbons (G-2905), Henry (G-2913) and McWillams (G-2910) townships, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario. Mustang acquired the property in early 1999 through staking and several option agreements. Subsequently, during early August 1999, Mustang signed a letter of intent to jointly explore its River Valley property with Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Implats), the world's second largest primary producer of platinum group metals. In order to earn a 600Xo interest in the property, Implats must incur work expenditures totalling C$6 million over five years, and make cash payments totalling C$255,000 over four years. A number of the claims are subject to various Net Smelter Returns back to the original vendors which are documented in the underlying agreements. All claims are currently in good standing and are listed in Table 1.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The River Valley property is underlain by the early Proterozoic-aged (2475+2/-1 Ma) River Valley Intrusion, a layered gabbro-anorthosite pluton. The intrusion is approximately 30km long and up to 15km wide, and is part of the Huronian Nipissing Magmatic Belt, which includes the East Bull Lake and Shakespeare-Dunlop intrusions which are located in the Southern Province to the west of Sudbury (see Figure 4). The River Valley Intrusion occurs close to the juxtaposition of the Superior, Southern and Grenville provinces. The intrusion is situated in the Grenville province and is cut, but not displaced, by the Grenville Front tectonic zone along the northwest margin. Regionally, the River Valley pluton is associated with a large, positive gravity anomaly that suggests a possible associated denser, more mafic phase at depth.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The River Valley area was mapped by Lumbers (1973) during a regional reconnaissance mapping program, which broadly outlined the geology of the River Valley Intrusion, the surrounding host rocks and the location of the Grenville Front (see Figure 5). More recently, Easton and Hrominchuk (1999) and Hrominchuk (1999) have examined and documented the geology, stratigraphy and copper-platinum group element potential of Dana and Crerar townships.

Mustang's River Valley PGM property is underlain by the River Valley gabbro-anorthosite intrusion and high-grade metasedimentary gneisses of the Grenville Province. Ashwal and Wooden (1989) report that the intrusion is comprised mostly of leuconorite and leucogabbro with lesser anorthosite, mafic and ultramafic phases. More recently however, Easton and Hrominchuk (1999) indicate that the intrusion is dominated (~6007o of the surface area) by gabbro, norite, gabbronorite, leucogabbronorite, and leuconorite compositions. True anorthosite forms only 1007o of the surface exposures of the intrusion. Minor Cu-Ni-PGM mineralization occurs in the southeast portion of the intrusion (Tomrose Occurrence).

PREVIOUS WORK

Information on previous exploration activities on the River Valley Intrusion is available from the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines in Sudbury, or through the ERLIS database.

The River Valley Intrusion has been the focus of relatively limited exploration activity over the past 45 years, and the bulk of this work has attempted to locate marginal-type massive copper-nickel sulphide mineralization similar to the Sudbury deposits. However, the intrusion has never been systematically explored for Platinum Group Metals (PGM) associated with disseminated sulphides (e.g. Stillwater and Lac des Iles deposits). Interestingly, it should also be noted that the Sudbury mines have collectively produced in excess of 20 million ounces of PGM as by-product from the nickel-copper ores.

Between 1973 and 1996 much of Dana Township was included in the Temagami Land Caution, and was not available for staking. Additionally, historic building stone quarries are present in better preserved portions of the River Valley Intrusion north of the Sturgeon River in Dana Township. These quarries exploited a black anorthosite that is locally known as "Black Granite". Coarse garnet was also extracted from the gneisses in east-central Dana Township just north of the intrusive contact.

Historically, previous exploration work has focused on the southeastern contact of the intrusion in Crerar Township and is summarized below:

1956: Mcintyre Porcupine Mines, Limited completed two diamond drill holes on the Ferguson claims to test quartz veins with associated semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization. The holes totalled 32.6m (107 feet) on historic claim 90348. The best intersection was reported at 2507o Cu and 0.01 7o Ni over 0.61m (2.0 feet).

1960-1962: Tomrose Prospecting Syndicate completed prospecting, rock trenching, character sampling and 113.7m (373 feet) of pack sack drilling. Additionally, a total of 20 pits and trenches were excavated. The best assays from this work included 25 07o Cu and 8.9 g/t Au (0.26 opt).

1963-1964: Tomrose Mines Limited completed prospecting and 13 diamond drill holes (1 to 9 and 64-10 to 13, inclusive) totalling 1233.83m (4,408 feet). Although no significant assays were reported the drill logs indicated that several drill holes had intersected significant concentrations of sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite) associated with blue quartz eyes within the intrusion. The holes were drilled on historic claims 52410 and 51682.

1965: Falconbridge Nickel Mines optioned the Tomrose property and completed ground magnetometer and electromagnetic surveys and six diamond drill holes (CRE-1 to 6, inclusive) totalling 331.01m (1086 feet). No significant assays were reported and Falconbridge subsequently dropped the option.

1965: Tomrose Mines Limited, drilled two holes (NE-1 8.. 2) for a total of 114.00m (374 feet). No assays were reported.

1966: Tomrose Mines Limited, completed one 134.72m (442 feet) diamond drill hole (T66-1). Minor sporadic pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite were reported but no assays were submitted.

1966: Azen Mines Limited, staked 10 claim units to the west of the Tomrose claim group and conducted a ground magnetic survey only. No drilling was reported.

1983-1986: Albert Leblanc drilled three holes (1-83, 1-84 and 1-86) for a total of 104.85m (344 feet) on two claim units in the northwest corner of Henry Township. No assay results are available.

1990: Albert Leblanc drilled three holes (90-1 to 90-3) for a total of 403.56m (1324 feet). Only 14 samples were submitted for assay and up to 338ppb PGM was reported. It also appears that Teck Explorations Limited logged the core from at least one hole

(DDL-0143; 153.01m). Interestingly, the drill log indicated a 34.78m (114.1 feet) sulphide mineralized section with sulphides ranging from trace up to 47o disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite; however, no assay results were reported.

1994: Albert Leblanc conducted power stripping on three areas under an OPAP Grant. The claims were subsequently optioned by WMC International and formed part of a larger land package that was being assembled at that time.

1994-1996: WMC International Limited, staked and optioned a total of 1541 units covering a large portion of the River Valley Intrusion in an attempt to explore for marginal type Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization. An integrated program of airborne magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical (DIGHEM) surveys, soil and till geochemical surveys, and reconnaissance mapping and sampling was conducted. Several areas of interest were identified within the intrusion; however, no follow up work was performed. The report also confirmed the high PGM potential of the intrusion.

1998-1999: R. Bailey, L. Luhta and R. Orchard discovered two significant PGM prospects (Dana North and Azen Creek zones) associated with the northern contact of the River Valley Intrusion in Dana Township. Interestingly, these claims are situated within the area that was previously included in the Temagami Land Caution. This property was optioned by Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation (PFN) in 1998, and is currently being explored under an option-joint venture agreement (August, 1999) between PFN and Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited (Amplats). Preliminary results from the 1999 outcrop stripping and detailed sampling programs in the Dana Lake Area have indicated five mineralized zones, which extend over a distance of 780m and are anomalous to highly anomalous (0.25 to IG.Og/t PGM). An average assay value of 376 samples that were collected from the mineralized zones average 2.4g7t PGM, Q.16% Cu and Q.04% Ni. Rhodium averages 0.05g7t, with individual assays ranging up to O.Sg/t.

1999: Mustang Minerals Corp. performed a geological prospecting survey on the Tomrose Zone (Albert Leblanc claims) in Crerar Township and several claims in Dana and Mcwilliams townships. Mustang verified the that the Cu-Ni showings are enriched with platinum group metals with assays up to 0.69gft PGM.

For convenience, the previous exploration activities are also summarized in Figure 6.

GEOLOGICAL MAPPING PROGRAM

Geological mapping commenced on Mustang's River Valley North Grid on November 12, 1999, and was completed by December 1, 1999. During this time a total of 48 line kilometres of 200m grid were systematically mapped at 1:5000, sampled, prospected and also covered by a ground magnetic survey (Patrie, 1999). A total of 83 locations were sampled (one sample for assay and one representative hand sample from each location). The current magnetic declination for the area (11 0 west) was obtained from the Natural Resources Canada, Geomagnetics Laboratory in Ottawa.

Geological mapping was conducted by T. Keast with the assistance of G. Wright, and this work was supervised by P. Wood. It should be noted that as the mapping program was commenced so late in the field season it was decided that traverses would be restricted to outcrop exposures that were close to the grid lines. This would ensure that the task was completed before the outcrops were covered with snow.

Daily travel to the North Grid was via two gravel roads that extend to the northeast from Highway 539a just north of the town of River Valley. Additionally, several logging and hunting trails provide access to both the western and eastern portions of the grid (see Figure 2).

Rock UnitsMapping was carried out using the WMC geological legend (Newman, 1996) as listed below:

UNIT1110987654321

ROCK TYPELate Mafic DikesGraniteDioriteAnorthositeGabbroic-AnorthositeLeucogabbro, Anorthositic-GabbroGabbroGabbronoriteNoritePyroxeniteMetasedimentary Gneiss

Anorthosite was identified on the basis of ^"/o mafic component. The anorthosite is typically medium- to coarse-grained and composed of plagioclase with minor ^50Xo), interstitial black amphibole after clinopyroxene. Minor zones of black anorthosite were also observed with up to 707o magnetite. The anorthosite phase is the most dominant rock type on the north grid.

Gabbroic Anorthosite contains between 5 07o and 1507o mafic minerals. These rocks are typically medium- to coarse-grained and composed of plagioclase laths with interstitial black amphibole after clinopyroxene. Textures vary from massive to gneissic.

Leucogabbro, or anorthositic gabbro, is characterized as having between 15 and 4007o mafic minerals. The rock is composed of cumulate, medium-grained plagioclase with intercumulate black amphibole after clinopyroxene. Texturally this unit varies from massive to gneissic. Gneissic leucogabbro was common on the northern portion of the grid and consists of alternating plagioclase bands and amphibole-garnet-biotite bands..

18

Page 19: Geological Mapping Report on the River Valley Property ... · PREVIOUS WORK Information on previous exploration activities on the River Valley Intrusion is available from the Ministry

Gabbro is defined as having greater than 4007o mafic component, with less than 100Xo of the mafic component being cumulate. The gabbros observed on the property typically consist of fine- to medium-grained cumulate plagioclase in a dark green amphibole- chlorite matrix. The gabbros generally occur along the margins of the intrusion and as an east-west trending unit across the north of the grid.

Gabbronorite is defined when good cumulate mafic mineral textures are observed. The rock is composed of greater than 4007o mafic cumulates with subhedral plagioclase and minor interstitial magnetite.

Norite is defined when cumulate orthopyroxene can be identified.

Late Mafic Dikes which crosscut the River Valley Intrusion are magnetite-rich, relatively unaltered and unmetamorphosed.

Well-preserved, primary, igneous layering consisting of alternating anorthosite and leucogabbro layers up to 25m thick was observed on one outcrop the west end of the grid at L2+OOE/4+OON.

Granite to Granitic Gneiss occurs to the north of the intrusive contact and is the predominant lithology on the east half of the North Grid. This unit is medium-grained granodiorite to monzogranitic gneiss.

AnalysesThe samples were shipped via courier to XRAL Laboratories, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, for analyses. All samples were assayed for Au, Pt, Pd, Cu and Ni. All precious metal concentrations were determined using fire assay (30g charge) followed by a direct coupled plasma/mass spectormeter (DCP) finish. The detection limits for a one assay ton (30g) sample are 1ppb for Au and Pd, and 10ppb for Pt. Base metal concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry after 0.25 to 0.3g of the pulp was subjected to an nitric aqua regia digestion. Six samples were also submitted for whole rock analyses (major element oxides, LOI and several other trace elements) using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) on a fused disc prepared from a 2g sample. The detection limits for all of the major oxides are 0.01 07o except for TiO2 at 0.001 0Xo.

All of the samples that contain anomalous to highly anomalous PGM will also be submitted for Rh (rhodium) assays. Additionally, a selected number of samples of the reject material remaining from the samples that were processed at XRAL will be submitted to another laboratory for check analyses.

Results of Geological Mapping ProgramA program of geological mapping, sampling and prospecting was initiated over the North Grid to locate and test any sulphide occurrences for PGM enrichment and explore for the possible extension of PFN's Azen Creek Zone (samples up to 4.2g7t PGM and D.84%

Cu+Ni). This mineralization is located approximately 3km to the northwest of the North Grid and close to the intrusive contact. The assay results and whole rock data are summarized in Appendix 1, and assay certificates are given in Appendix 2. Included in these results are the major element oxides, LOI and several other trace elements. The North Grid Bedrock Geology Map (1:5000 scale), and the Sample Location and PGM Assay Data map in "bubble plot" format (1:5000 scale) are located in Pockets 1 and 2, respectively, at the back of this report.

The following observations and generalities are made based on the 1999 mapping program:

* The River Valley Intrusion in the vicinity of the North Grid is composed ofpredominantly anorthosite to gabbroic anorthosite and lesser leucogabbro. Gabbroic and noritic phases are absent in this area. Metamorphic grade appears to attain at least amphibolite grade. Petrography will assist in rock identification and metamorphic grade determination.

* The location of the intrusive contact in this area is not where previous mapping had indicated. In fact the contact was oriented at a steeper angle and located approximately 500-600m further south than anticipated.

* The intrusion exhibits variable degrees of recrystallization and primary clinopyroxene has been commonly replaced by black amphibole. Minor deformed, gneissic domains are also present.

* Alternating anorthosite and leucogabbro layers up to 25m thick were observed on one outcrop the west end of the grid at L2+OOE/4+OON.

* The rocks contained nil to trace amounts of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite and only weak rust staining.

* The best mineralization, in terms of PGM concentration (2503ppb), occurs adjacent to the intrusive contact within a coarse-grained, relatively unmineralized, slightly rusty anorthosite approximately 250m from the intrusive contact.

* No evidence of any previous exploration activity was observed.

AssaysOf the 83 samples that were submitted for assay, on sample contained greater than 1000ppb PGM (57157 - 2503ppb PGM). Additionally, approximately 607o of the samples contained greater than 100ppb PGM. Interestingly, Easton and Hrominchuk (1999) report that, based on their more regional sampling of mineralized and unmineralized rocks from the area, samples containing between 70 to 140ppb PGM and 70 to 140ppm Cu are anomalous. Samples containing higher concentrations (i.e. greater than 140ppb PGM and 140ppm Cu) are described as highly anomalous. Statistical data for the South Grid samples are summarized below:

It should be noted that the samples show a strong negative skew towards lower PGM concentrations and this will consequently result in a relatively large standard deviation.

Platinum/palladium (Pt/Pd) rations show considerable variation for the North Grid sample population. Ratios range from 0.19 up to 11.0, but generally fall around 1.0 to 3.0 in lower concentrations and anomalous levels. In the single highly anomalous sample the ratio is 0.3. The significance of this observation is currently unclear, but is likely related to the processes that resulted in the concentration of PGM in the well-mineralized zones. Another interesting point to note is that highly anomalous copper values do not necessarily correspond with highly anomalous PGM concentrations, and vice versa. This suggests that systematic sampling of rock units may be a safer strategy, rather than simply focusing on rocks with rust-stains or visible sulphides.

LithogeochemistrySix representative samples of the River Valley Intrusion in the North Grid area were selected for whole rock and trace element analyses by XRF. These results are presented in Appendix 1. Plots derived by Irvine and Baragar (1971: Alkalies-Silica) and Jensen (1976: Jensen Cation) are used to characterize the intrusive rocks of the River Valley property.

As the Alkalies-Silica plot (Figure 7) illustrates, all of the intrusive rocks of the River Valley Pluton have a subalkalic affinity. On the Jensen Cation plot (see Figure 8), the River Valley intrusive rocks from the North Grid plot in the calc-alkalic, tholeiitic and komatiitic fields and define a rhyolitic to komatiitic trend. Interestingly, three samples that were identified in the field as anorthosite (2) and leucogabbro (1) plot in the basaltic komatiite field. This suggests that these rocks are probably more gabbroic in composition.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The results of the 1999 mapping, sampling and prospecting program, designed to test the River Valley Intrusion in the North Grid area for PGM potential were encouraging. Up until most recently, the River Valley Intrusion has received very little systematic exploration for Cu-PGM mineralization. Anomalous to highly anomalous PGM concentrations were detected in several areas that should be investigated further. Other interesting and/or significant results include:

1. The North Grid is underlain by predominantly anorthosite, gabbroic-anorthosite to leucogabbro. Granite to granitic gneiss is the predominant rock type on the east end of the grid.

2. The northern contact was examined at one location on the grid and appeared to be primary.

3. No evidence of any previous exploration (prior to Mustang) was observed.

4. The mapping and sampling program has verified that the anorthositic rocks adjacent to the north intrusive contact yielded highly anomalous PGM concentrations.

Following are a series of recommendations for the next phase of exploration on the River Valley PGM Property:

1. In light of the results of the 1999 mapping program and the recent exploration results from the PFN property to the northwest, exploration should be mainly focussed along the primary contacts of the intrusion. The contacts should be covered with an IP survey (~1000m per line; 500m of intrusion to contact and 250m additional coverage to the north and south) in order to delineate sulphide concentrations.

2. Follow-up to the IP should include trenching and stripping over selected anomalies in areas with thin overburden cover.

3. Wherever possible, detailed geologic mapping should also be conducted over the contact zone mineralization in order to document the width and characteristics of the marginal and inclusion-bearing rocks in these areas.

4. Diamond drilling should then test the continuity of the best targets at depth.
