    Eastmain Resources(Clearwater project)

    Goldcorp + Azimut

    Many Au occurences and one Au deposit around the Helm’s Deep project

    Clearwater Au deposit: Resources (M&I): 853 000 oz at 6.18 g/t AuResources (Inf.): 500 000 Oz at 6.53 g/t Au

    Helm’s Deep:70 claims, 37 km2

    THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

    New Percival Discovery (Eastmain Ress.)2.35 g/t Au / 87m; 1.46 g/t Au / 78.5m

    HELM’S DEEP

    Basalts

    Felsic volcanics

    Sandstones, wackes, conglomerates

    1.12 g/t Au, 2.12% Cu, 23.5 g/t Ag

    2.82 g/t Au. Sheared wacke with Tr Py.

    0.68 g/t Au. Qtz-Tourmaline vein

    Eastmain-1 Reservoir

    Eastmain-1 Reservoir

    ➢ Several new gold showings found in 2017-2018 → Quartz veins with strong, proximal biotite-tourmaline alteration, and distal calcsilicate alteration, in sandstones.

    ➢ No previous recorded exploration on most of the project

    ➢ The new, 10 years old Eastmain-1 hydro reservoir provides lots of new, very high quality outcrops; most of the shoreline has never been prospected (by Midland or others)

    THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

    0.73 g/t Au / 0.5m (channel) Quartz-Pyrite veins in wacke

  • Eleonore Mine – Biotite-Tourmaline-Sulfide Proximal Alteration in Gold Ore

    5THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

  • Helm’s Deep - Sandstone with Tml-Bt Alteration

    6

    0.68 g/t Au Diopside alt.

    THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

  • Helm’s Deep - Calc-silicate – Biotite - Tourmaline Alteration in Sandstones

    7

    Very abundant Calc-Silicate alteration in sandstones. Also lots of Quartz-Biotite-Tourmaline veins (Amazing rocks!)

    THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

  • Helm’s Deep – Biotite-Tourmaline-Calc-silicate Alteration in Sandstones

    8THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

  • Helm’s Deep - Calc-silicate Alteration in Sandstones

    9THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

  • Helm’s Deep - Polymictic Conglomerate with Tourmaline Alteration in Matrix

    10

    Similar polymictic conglomerates are found near Eleonore and could mark the location of a major normal fault reactivated during further compression (Timiskaming-type)

    THE NEXT MAJOR DISCOVERER IN QUEBEC

  • Helm’s Deep Project: Highlights

    ➢ Features several new orogenic gold showings hosted in sandstones and Timiskaming-type polygenic conglomerates of the Auclair formation

    ➢ Located on the shores of the new Eastmain-1 hydroelectric reservoir. New very high-quality outcrops were created by the flooding. Only a small part of the reservoir shorehas ever been prospected.

    ➢ Three new gold showings found in 2017-2018: 2.82 g/t Au, 0.72 g/t Au, 0.68 g/t Au,0.73 g/t Au / 0.5m (channel). Gold mineralization occurs as quartz veins and veinletswith strong, proximal biotite-tourmaline alteration, and distal calcsilicate alteration, insandstones.

    ➢ Abundant and widespread veining and alteration in the sandstones and polygenicconglomerates (biotite, tourmaline, diopside, actinolite alteraitons)

    ➢ Alteration, host rocks very similar to the multi-million ounces Eleonore gold deposit(Goldcorp). Near significant Au discoveries on the Clearwater Au project
