Holdsworth Property, Ontario
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The Holdsworth Property has the potential to host Gold and Silver mineralization within three (3) distinct geological environments namely: PROPERTY HISTORY: Holdsworth Property - 1931 Drill Results Hole # 1 10’ @ 0.4 oz Au/ton 4’ @ 0.61 oz Au/ton Average Grade 16.0 g/t Au/4.3m Hole # 2 14’ @ 0.38 oz Au/ton 2’ @ 0.12 oz Au/ton Average Grade 11.9 g/t Au/4.9m Hole # 3 6’ @ 0.36 oz Au/ton 5’ @ 0.56 oz Au/ton Average Grade 15.5 g/t Au/3.4m
5’ @ 0.33 oz Au/ton 6’ @ 0.60 oz Au/ton Average Grade 16.4 g/t Au/3.4m Hole # 4 3’ @ 0.30 oz Au/ton 5’ @ 0.46 oz Au/ton Average Grade 13.7 g/t Au/2.4m Hole # 5 6’ @ 0.63 oz Au/ton 3’ @ 0.21 oz Au/ton 3.5’ @ 0.06 oz Au/ton Average Grade 12.7 g/t Au/3.8m
4’ @ 0.62 oz Au/ton 10’ @ 0.01 oz Au/ton Average Grade 6.3 g/t Au/4.3m Hole # 6 10’@ 0.21 oz Au/ton 10’@ 0.12 oz Au/ton 4’ @ 0.01 oz Au/ton Average Grade 4.8 g/t Au/7.3m 7’ @ 0.16 oz Au/ton 7’@ 0.71 oz Au/ton 10’@ 0.06 oz Au/ton 10’ @ 0.04 oz Au/ton 4’@ 0.68 oz Au/ton 9’@ 0.06 oz Au/ton 5’ @ 0.04 oz Au/ton Average Grade 6.9 g/t Au/15.8m The Soocana Mining Company Limited calculated a gold resource of 54,000 tons of material grading 0.556 oz/t (19.06 g/t) (NB: The above estimate of resources and assay values are historical and are non-NI 43-101compliant). In 1983 Falconbridge Nickel Mines optioned the property and conducted a series of airborne and ground geophysical surveys, rock sampling, soil sampling, geological mapping, relogging of the old drill core and drilled 5 diamond drill hole totaling 590 metres. Two holes tested the quartz veins, one drill hole tested an airborne geophysical anomaly, while the other 2 holes tested the pyrite zones. Falconbridge’s two drill holes into the quartz vein system failed to duplicate the grades published for the 1931 drilling. Between 1985 and 1989, Reed Lake Exploration Ltd drilled 37 diamond drill holes totaling 2399 metres, but failed to duplicate the 1931 drill results because of a geological mapping error that assumed that the vein system dips north as opposed to south. Reed Lake drilling, however, added considerable open pit potential to the property by intersecting a wide zone of secondary quartz veining and mineralization. PREVIOUS WORK COMPLETED: The next phase of work on this target would include a pilot scale bench test on one or more bulk samples from the black sand deposit in order to predict costs and confirm gold and silver recoveries. A series of drill holes would be completed on the massive pyrite zone to systematically test for gold mineralization as well as locate additional potential sources of auriferous black sand. If the bench testing is positive, a second phase of work involving excavating would be carried out to determine the potential size of the black sand zones and define enough material to justify the cost of development. The following are the claims comprising the Holdsworth Property:
TITLE RESERVATIONS Parcels 785AWS and 786AWS - subject to Crown reservations of 5% of the acreage for roads, all trees, the right to use navigable waters and the adjoining banks, for a depth of one chain, for fishing purposes. Parcels 1478AWS and 1876AWS - subject to the same Crown reservations as apply to Parcels 785AWS and 786 AWS as well as the right of Algoma Central Corporation to all water powers; the right of way, not exceeding 100 feet in width, for railroad track; royalties on gold, silver, copper and nickel of 2% of market value of output up to $1,000,000, 3% thereafter up to $4,000,000 and 5% thereafter; 15 cents per long ton (2,240 pounds) of raw ore on iron ore (excepting siderite, pyrites or other sulphides, 10 cents per long ton of raw ore on siderite, pyrites or other sulphides and, on other minerals, not less than 15 cents per long ton of raw ore and not more than 5% of their market value. Black Sand Zone – The Black Sand Zone is one of the three gold prospects on the Holdsworth Property. It is a black granular oxide zone (referred to as ‘black sands’) overlying a massive pyrite zone (the “Algoma Iron Formation” – which is another of the three gold prospects). More detail on the Black Sand Zone is provided in the report of Seymour M. Sears (see “Geologist’s Report”, below). NET PROCEEDS ROYALTY: CURRENT WORK PROGRAM: Hawk has completed field exploration including line cutting, geologic mapping, rock chip sampling and a ground Magnetic Survey. The Company mobilized an Orbit-Garant Drilling Inc. (Val-D’Or, Quebec) diamond drill rig onto the property to test the Soocana Vein System that was previously drilled by Soocana Mining Company in 1931, by Falconbridge in 1985 and Reed Lake Exploration in 1988. The Orbit-Garant drill rig is capable of drilling to a depth of 450m using NQ size core. Using mapping and sampling, Hawk Uranium Inc., extended the Gold Mineralized Soocana Vein System to approximately 750 metres. Previous operators had outlined the Soocana Vein System over a strike length of approximately 300 metres, from L797+00E to L800+00E (based on Hawk’s grid). Hawk has outlined the vein from L796+50E to L804+00E. The vein varies in width from 0.5m to 2.5m. The initial phase of diamond drill testing of the gold mineralized Soocana Vein System has been completed (see HUI NR 08-10-20) with a total of 5,498 metres being drilling in 34 holes. A total of 2,871 samples were submitted to ActLabs in Thunder Bay for gold (Au) , silver (Ag) and 36 element ICP analysis, with results to be reported as received. All but one of the 34 holes drilled intersected what is believed to be the Soocana Vein System. Hawk also submitted a 250kg composite sample from 4 pit locations from the Black Sands Zone to SGS Labs, Lakefield, Ontario for metallurgical testing. Initial indications from a ground magnetic geophysical survey with 12.5m station spacing on 100m spaced lines has outlined two 2,200 metre zones of the Black Sands traversing the property. The zones appear to have a width of a minimum of 4m. An excerpt from the Sears Barry and Associates Ltd Report of October 2002 (the Sears Report*) prepared for Hawk Junction Capital Corp. (the predecessor company of Hawk Uranium Inc.) and authored by Seymour Sears P.Geo. includes the following comment in the summary to that report: “The Black Sand Zone is at least 8 metres (25 feet) deep. This oxide material contains highly elevated gold values ranging from trace to 14.2 g/t (0.42 oz/ton). Systematic sampling of the black material by Hawk Junction Capital Corp. in 1999, from a portion of one of these zones, the East Zone, has outlined an indicated resource of 11,760 tonnes having a grade of 3.45 g/t Au (0.10 oz/ton) and 29.99 g/t Ag (0.87 oz/ton). Additional material beneath the delineated zone as well as three other blocks of black sand occur within the immediate area, although these were not properly sampled and are therefore of undetermined size and grade. Four other zones of black sand are identified in other parts of the Holdsworth property, as well as geophysical conductors that may represent sulphides zones that have not been investigated. A preliminary mill test carried out by an independent consultant (Welch, Appendix 2) indicated an average of 98.7% recovery in a 48 hour agitated leach without crushing.” (The Sears Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The results of the Sears Report have not been verified or confirmed by Hawk. The Report is filed on SEDAR as Schedule “H” to the December 12, 2002 Hawk Junction Capital Corp. Management Information Circular. The mill test referred to in the above excerpt was carried out by Dave Welch and is dated September 9, 1999.) A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate from the above excerpt as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Hawk is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of National Instrument 43-101, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. Hawk is investigating the possibility of custom processing this material, and evaluating the technical feasibility of applying custom processing to the zone. Soocana Vein System: Assay results from chip samples taken across the vein on L804+00E returned values of <0.2 ppm* Ag to 19.0 ppm Ag. A chip sample taken from L798+20E returned a value of 83.1 ppm (sample 20452). Final Metallic Sieve Gold Analysis and Aqua Regia Extraction – ICP/OES Silver geochem analysis is from the Thunder Bay and Ancaster, Ontario facilities of Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs), an independent laboratory based in Canada that is an ISO/IEC 17025 with CAN-P-1579 registered laboratory.
*1ppm = 1g/t Black Sand Zone:
*1ppm = 1g/t These samples were regular chip samples of material across the width of the vein at each location. Drilling and core logging is continuing and results are pending from core samples delivered to the assay lab. |
