Bulk Sample Summary Report March 12,2008, Amended September 15,2008
Mining Claim#: S4201256 and
Date work performed: Last week of November, 2007, May 2008
Scope of work:
During the last week of November, 2007 a small area on the east side of the claim was cleared of trees (~40' X 40') surrounding a black granite outcropping. In addition two access roads were excavated for ~ 800m for prospecting and drill access to the top of the deposit and to the North face of the hill.
On November 2i\ 2007 Franks Drilling and Blasting drilled 12,3 W' inch holes in a 6' x 6' pattern (4 holes by holes), approximately 20-23' deep. Late that afternoon at ~ 4:00pm a blast was detonated. Part of the blast did project onto a nearby gravel road. This was subsequently cleared. See attached invoice from Franks Drilling and Blasting.
The weather conditions were light snow flurries and the temperature was below zero degrees Celsius. That night and during the next few days there was a large amount of snow accumulation. None of the blast was removed due to the large amount of snow. Therefore none of the material was taken to our crushing facility in Warren, Ontario.
Jeff Oravecz of Coloured Aggregates Inc. was on site during the site preparation and drilling. Approximately 500 lbs of drilling chips were collected and subsequently sieved into various gradations. See breakdown in the chart below:
Black Granite Chipping from Drill 0-5/8" Black Granite Course Aggregate 9/16" x 5/16" Black Granite Chip 5/16" x 1/8" Black Granite Fines 0-1/8"
Physical Properties were not currently tested. It is planned for all physical testing during the later half of2008.
May 1-3,2008:
The site area was visited by Pat Tanguay and Susan Tanguay of Crea-Mac Contracting and Jeff Oravecz of Coloured Aggregates Inc to investigate the test blast conducted in November 2007. The weather was sunny and clear conditions.~~'Wl:l!i!':lml:oQ.t'imtj~:;;=--'I assess the test blast and surrounding areas.
OCT a 1 200B
GEOSCIENCE ASSESSMENT F
We also met with Harold Cheley ofDST Consulting Engineers, from Sudbury, to review claim posts and to discuss permit application and operational layout of the proposed new quany.
Some of the test blast material was taken back to the crusher in Warren, Ontario and crushed to confirm colour and particle shape. In addition the sand produced during crushing was assessed by sieve analysis to ensure that washed architectural sand could be produced. The results confirmed that a concrete sand specification could be met and that the superior black colour would be maintained.
Market Study:
Jeff Oravecz of Coloured Aggregates Inc. took 50 lbs of the W' Chip (5/16" x 1/8") and 50 lbs of the Black Granite Fines ( -1/8" Fines) from the drill chipping to an existing customer of Coloured Aggregates in Guelph, Ontario that produces polished architectural concrete poles.
This customer prepared 2 - 1 x 12" x 1 W' concrete sample plates with the black granite 1//' chip and the fines that were supplied by Coloured Aggregates Inc. One of the samples was prepared using black material from another deposited located ~ 1.5 km from the claim that Coloured Aggregates Inc and Crea-Mac Contracting currently extract black granite. See attached claim map.
Once the concrete plates had cured the samples were ground, polished and sealed. See attached photographs. Both samples were placed side by side and compared to assess colour and finish. The sample of black granite from the bulk sample was substantially better from a colour point of view and had polished to a jet black finish. The granite from the old deposit was black but did have some grey tones and was not as consistent in colour.
There are additional market for the black granite which includes: " Precast Prestressed Concrete 'Y Landscaping 'Y Terrazzo Flooring 'Y Roofing Ballast 'Y Cultured Stone 'Y Engineered Stone Products - resin based and concrete based
Conclusion:
The black granite from the test blast performed by Coloured Aggregates Inc. (2065342 Ontario Inc.) and Crea-Mac Contracting produced a superior black granite product.
During March of2008 Coloured Aggregates Inc had retained DST Consulting Engineers of Sudbury, Ontario to apply for an aggregate permit to extract the black granite from the two claims held by 2065342 Ontario Inc and Crea-Mac Contracting. DST Consulting Engineers visited the site in May of 2008 and have been actively completing required work to submit an application for an aggregate permit.
Due to the superior quality of the black granite and upon a successful application for an aggregates permit to extract the black granite Coloured Aggregates Inc. would like to start production as soon as possible.

* This method is not appropriate for testing aggregates for alkali~carbonate reactivity.
+ In critical structures such as those used for nuclear containment or large dams, a lower expansion limit may be required.
± Several aggregates that expand more than 0.15% after 14 d have not caused deleterious expansion in field structures and expanded less than 0.040% when tested in accordance with eSA A23.2-14A. Therefore, expansion in excess of the recommended limit calls for further testing of concrete specimens.
A number of quarried siliceous limestone aggregates from the St. Lawrence Lowlands, which expand less than 0.150% after 14 d, have caused deleterious expansion in field structures and have expanded more than 0.040% in concrete prism tests. Therefore, a lower limit of 0.1 00% is recommended for this type of aggregate (Fournier and Berube 1991 b).
Some dolostones from the Beekmantown Group expand significantly when tested in accordance with eSAA23.l-14A (>0.040% after one year), while expanding between 0.10% and 0.15% after 14 d when tested in accordance with eSA A23.2-25A. Deletrious expansion in field structures has not been confitmed (Berube et aI., 2000).
There are reports of deterioration of field concretes made with quarried bedrock aggregates of Grenville Age in Ontario containing granites, gneisses, and granodiorites and also some horizons of the potsdam sandstone, which exhibit less than 0.0100% expansion at 14 d in the eSA A23.2-25A test. Therefore such aggregates shall be tested in accordance with CSA A23.2-14A.

** >0.150% (see Table 1)
* The degree of alkali-silica reactivity obtained in the eSA A23 .2-14A test is that of a combination of the fine and coarse aggregates intended for use in concrete. If the results of the combination are not available, then the degree of alkali-silica reactivity to be used in this Table shall be that of the most expansive of the aggregates to be used.
+ When data obtained in accordance with eSA A23.2-25A conflict with those obtained with the same aggregate in accordance with eSA A23.2-14A, the results of the latter shall prevail.
± When the accelerated mortar bar test is used, each aggregate to be used shall be tested and the degree of alkali-silica reactivity based on the largest test value shall be obtained.
** The accelerated mortar bar test is not considered to be suitable for distinguishing between moderately and highly reactive aggregates. Consequently, in the absence of concrete prism test data, aggregates that produce >0.150% expansion at 14 days in the test are classified as highly reactive.
