Introduction This 9-claim property was staked for its gold potential. The Department of Natural Resources province-wide till survey indicates an anomalous gold concentration of 42 ppb Au on the property. This will be referred to as “the till site”. It appears to be the highest one on the “Boot” of the Burin Peninsula. Also, the Departmental lake sediment survey gives an anomalous result of 3 ppb Au in a pond one kilometre from the till site. The property lies in the Burin Group of rocks which hosts The Kitchen gold prospect.

Location, Access and Physiography Licence 18879M lies within NTS map sheets 01L/14 and 01M/03 on the Burin Peninsula of southern Newfoundland. It is about 3.5 km southwest of the community of Epworth and 18 km southwest of the main town on the Burin Peninsula, Marystown. There are two main ways to access the property. One can park 3.3 km west of the junction to Epworth on Route 220 and walk south along a path. It can also be reached by driving about 4.5 km along the gravel road between Epworth and the abandoned community of Corbin. The terrain is hilly barrens with many ponds.

Geology The property lies within the Burin Group of mafic pillow lavas, pyroclastics, sediments, limestones and gabbros. The Group is correlated with a 760Ma Proterozoic ophiolite of the Pan African belt in North Africa. The Wandsworth Formation consisting of coarse to fine-grained gabbro underlies the property.

Previous Work Portions of the property have been previously staked as a small part of larger properties. In 2006 a portion was included in Michele Noel’s 40-claim licence 12178M. No sampling was done on what is now 18879M. In 2006 a section of this property was included in a 108-claim block staked by Alex Turpin and optioned to Silver Spruce Resources. A 138- sample lake bottom survey was conduct by Silver Spruce. One of these ponds, Burin Pond, is located on licence 18879M. It returned 7 ppb Au. During the first year of ownership the author collected eight lake sediment samples, three rock samples, five soil samples and two stream sediment samples. A value of 13 ppb Au was returned in a lake sediment near the till site. A stream sediment near the till site returned 37 ppb Au.

Current Exploration The till site is located in the eastern end of the property. This year exploration focused on the western end near Burin Pond where there is a group of quartz veins. Silver Spruce Resources got a lake sediment result of 7 ppb Au in Burin Pond. First, six near-shore lake sediments were collected around Burin Pond. One returned 14 ppb Au (ActLab report A12-06566). Thirteen soils and two stream sediments were collected (EAL report 3201). The 13 soils were collected near the quartz veins. Only one soil sample gave anomalous results of 84 ppb Au. Thirteen rock samples were collected. There were samples from the quartz veins and other rocks. Two rock samples gave slightly anomalous gold, 70 and 30 ppb Au.

Recommendations 1. The area at Burin Pond where the 14 ppb Au sediment sample was collected will be explored in detail. Rock and soil samples will be collected. 2. The area where rock sample KTR1204 (70 ppb Au) was collected will be dug away and resampled. 3. The area where soil sample KTS 1207 (84 ppb Au) was collected will be explored.
