A TOUCH OF REALITY • A critical driving force in the junior mining space is the speculation of finding the

next home run discovery. It is the thrill of the chase, the anticipation, the high, that drives the speculation. As observers and analyzers of the junior mining space, we live the highs and lows of the sector that at times, might feel schizophrenic. The junior market is clearly on one of its highs. Selective stocks have commonly gapped up 20-30% in a days trading session. Over the year, good performances are measured in gains of over 300% and gains of over 1,000% are not uncommon. While we remain long term, junior mining sector bulls, corrections come swiftly in our industry. In this week’s Junior Mining Weekly we highlight ATAC Resources’ recent market disappointment and some past high flyers that couldn’t live up to the markets original euphoria.

MUSICAL CHAIRS

With the strength of the metals markets and capital driving exploration spending in the junior mining sector, new discoveries have driven interest in the junior mining equities. In junior mining there are short-term winners and long-term winners; from the latter, we expect strong exploration results to potentially develop into high-margin deposits. Short-term winners capture speculative market interest, based on a wide variety of events. It is the share prices of these companies that catapult to new highs and then fall back when additional project developments do not justify the share price, or the market cools off, and market premiums fall.

It can be a long exploration haul to determining the ultimate value of a new discovery. In the current market, speculation can drive the market cap of companies dramatically above current market fundamentals. The market is willing to be forward-looking based on speculative characteristics of the discovery – “it could be this big!”

One example of a market high flyer has been ATAC Resources Ltd. (ATC : TSX-V: C$5.80 | Not rated) ATAC’s share price rose from $1.23 in early June 2010 reaching a high of $8.95 on 8 November 2010.

ATAC has outlined replacement-style, gold-bearing sulphide and oxide mineralization in Cambrian to Devonian limestones, dolomite, and calcareous siltstones in associated with a regional-scale thrust (Dawson) in Yukon, which is an environment with similar characteristics to areas in Nevada. This Nevada, Carlin-style mineralization has outstanding speculative appeal given the prolific history of mining in the Carlin trend. The principal target is the Osiris showing, which is located approximately 100 kilometres east of ATAC’s original discovery in the area, the Tiger zone at Rau.

As background, soil samples (talus fines) at the company’s Osiris target have graded up to 17.5 g/t Au and sampling of float material has yielded mineralization, associated with realgar and orpiment (arsenic oxides – also closely associated with Au in Nevada), grading between 1.92 and 12.15 g/t Au. ATAC indicates that at Osiris, the zone has been traced for a one kilometre strike length on both limbs of a fold, with the best-sampled grades associated with a 40 metre wide breccia zone that lies along the fold axis.

Last week, ATAC released the final 2010 drilling results (eight holes) from the Osiris area. Of the eight newly released drill holes, five targeted the Osiris zone, while single holes tested the Isis, Conrad and Eaton zones, which are considered to be in a similar geological environment to that of Osiris. While individual holes continue to identify zones of Au mineralization, results were mixed and the impressive first drill hole released in early September (9.26 g/t gold over 31.13 metres), could not be replicated. These recent drilling results on the Osiris zone suggest controls on mineralization are potentially more complicated than the market had been speculating.

On release of last week’s Osiris drill results, ATAC’s share price dropped from $7.31 to a low of $5.02 before recovering, closing the week at $5.80/share. Complicating the recent pressure on the share price is that news flow coming from the Yukon will now be limited over the next three to five months by the winter season, and investors may be less willing to hold shares positions with few upcoming catalysts. Furthermore, On December 9, 2010, 8.42 million common shares from an August 2010 private placement priced at

Page 5: Canaccord Genuity - Junior Mining Weekly - Dec 7 2010

Junior Mining Weekly | 5 7 December 2010

$1.85 per share, and 3.02 million flow-through common shares priced at $2.15 per share, become free trading, which could add to the weakness in the stock price.

Longer term, we believe the potential of the Osiris area to host significant Au mineralization remains valid. What the market is willing to apply to the potential, based on eight completed drill holes, is the challenge investors and analysts face in assessing this high-profile gold play. ATAC has proposed a 2011 drill program to include a

minimum of 40,000 metres of diamond drilling utilizing up to eight drills.

We have reviewed some previous short-term junior mining winners that could not recover from the original speculative euphoria the market applied to their early exploration successes. We highlight some background on each company, and provide a brief synopsis of where each company is today.

In the past 12 months, insiders have purchased $41,173 in equity and sold $873,180 in equity of Beaufield Resources Inc.

Overview In late September, 2010 Beaufield Resources Inc. released headline news of a drill intercept (TO-10-19) grading 4.20% zinc, 2.72% copper, 0.19% lead, 500.93 g/t Cobalt, 72.02 g/t Silver and 0.53 g/t gold over 322.15 metres, from its wholly-owned Tortigny project, 100 kilometres north of Chibougamau, Quebec. Within the body of the release it was disclosed that the hole was “drilled parallel to the hinge of the fold, following the mineralized zone”; in other words, the drill hole targeted the down plunge trend of the zone, not a representative cut across the width of the mineralization. Another drill hole TO-10-16 drilled in the central part of the mineralized body is believed to have cut a true width of mineralization of 12.8 m. Tortigny hosts a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Cu-Pb-Zn-Co-Ag-Au deposit with an historic (non-compliant) resource of 489,900 tonnes. On this news, the stock ran to significant new highs before falling back to current levels as the market digested the non significance of the TO-10-19 drill intercept.

In the past 12 months – no share acquisitions or dispositions for Crystallex International Corp.

Overview The Company's principal asset, the Las Cristinas property located in Bolivar State, Venezuela hosts an estimated 17 million ounces Au. The company has faced political wrangling and regulatory barricades for years as it has struggled to develop Las Cristinas. Granting of specifics permits by the Environment and Natural Resources (MinAmb) remain outstanding. The company has a pending partnership deal to develop Las Cristinas with China Railway Resources Group., a Chinese state-owned company, which is dependent on receiving all necessary government approvals. KRY’s share price has been under considerable pressure stemming from a lack of progress in moving Las Cristinas forward.

In the past 12 months – no share acquisitions or dispositions for GGL Diamond Corp.

Overview The April 2007 takeover frenzy for Ni assets helped propel GGL Resources Corp. (formally GGL Diamond Corp.) to excessive levels. On April 4, 2007 the company traded over 52 million shares reaching a high of $1.50 before closing up 538% (started at $0.13) at $0.83. GGL sparked a frenzy of interest on news that it had staked a large area (80 kilometres by 20 kilometres) in the NWT that it believed could host a new belt of Ni bearing Archean mafic and ultramafic rocks, similar in scope to other major Ni belts such as Thompson or Kambalda. A single grab sample that returned 0.4% Ni from an outcrop allegedly associated with a magnetic and coincident EM high (600 metres by 100 metres) was strongly promoted as evidence for a new Ni district. Recent focus for the company has been on its diamond and gold projects in the NWT.

In the past 12 months, insiders have purchased $15,136 in equity and sold $3,658 in equity of Rogue Resources Inc.

Overview Golden Chalice caught investor interest in May 2007 with a 72.5 metre drill intersection grading 1.14% Ni (GCL07-06) on its 100%-owned Langmuir Project near Timmins, Ontario. This new discovery of Ni mineralization in a known belt of Ni bearing komatitic rocks had some speculators believing a large new discovery was in the works. Subsequent drilling outlined what appears to be a typical pod-like komatiite, likely less than 200 metres in strike length. The market has lost its fervor for GCR and the stock is off 99% from its peak. Geological potential of the belt remains positive but typical of komatitic Ni belts, exploration is slow and with the lack of investor interest in Ni attention to this once high flyer has been grounded. On October 13, 2010 the Company consolidated its shares on a 9:1 basis and changed its name to Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RRS).

In the past 12 months, insiders have purchased Nil in equity and sold $180,723 in equity of Goldsource Mines Inc.

Overview In April 2008, Goldsource Mines announced that an exploration drill program in Saskatchewan targeting kimberlitic rock (diamonds) had intersected potentially sub-bituminous or bituminous coal. Subsequent certified laboratory analysis determined the upper 22.6 metres of the coal seam was categorized as high-volatile bituminous to sub-bituminous coal. The early studies suggested the overall calorific value averaged 9,200 btu/lb. As comparison, Hillsborough’s Quinsam clean high volatile thermal coal has a calorific content of 11,900 btu/lb. Prior to the announcement of these coal intersections, GSX shares were trading around C$0.20. At peak trading levels of about C$18.20 per share represented more than a 9,000% increase in the value of GSX shares. Since the first discovery in April 2008 Goldsource has identified 17 coal deposits at its Saskatchewan, Border Project. The company has outlined 89.6 million tonnes of Inferred resources thus far and is working to upgrade resources to the Indicated category. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway.

Overview In 2007 Kodiak Exploration gained significant speculative interest on its Hercules-Golden Mile Project in the Beardmore-Geraldton Gold Camp near Thunder Bay, Ontario. Kodiak completed a series of trenches and local drilling over two kilometres of a five-kilometre strike of multiple quartz-carbonate vein sets. Eventually variable overall results out weighed several limited, flashy, high-grade gold intersections. Kodiak has previously suggests the area has similar geological similarities to Red Lake and Kirkland Lake in an under-explored Archean greenstone belt. The stock is currently off 94% from its peak.

In the past 12 months, insiders have purchased $49,500 in equity and sold $56,600 in equity of Serengeti Resources Inc.

Overview There’s nothing like a new high-grade Cu–Au porphyry discovery in Canada. Serengeti’s Kwanika Project in north central BC sparked speculative interest in early 2007 with a series impressive Cu–Au drill intersections. The first drill hole (hole 9) returned 111 metres grading 0.69% Cu, 0.54g/t Au. The company has completed over 40 drill holes in the Kwanika area and in our opinion has outlined a higher-grade zone of Cu–Au alkalic porphyry mineralization that currently measures about 150 metres east to west and 200 metres north to south. Unfortunately the market was looking for instant confirmation of a large system at Kwanika, and thus far potential has been slower to develop. Unfortunately, the stock is off 95% from its peak of $4.80 in June 2007.

In the past 12 months, insiders have purchased $289,910 in equity and sold $12,701 in equity of Starfield Resources Inc.

Overview Before May 2007 Starfield Resources received little love for its 100%-owned Ferguson Lake multiple metal asset in Nunavut. With a change in management and strong financial/promotional support, the company was temporary successful in driving investor interest in the story. The company’s key asset is its Ferguson Lake nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum-palladium property in Nunavut, Canada which hosts about 43-million tonnes of mineralization. Metallurgy for this complex multi-metal deposit is critical and preliminary testing suggests there is no simple technology that will provide adequate recoveries for all the metals. Starfield shares have not recovered from the 2008 market correction. Prior to the correction company Insiders sold over $7.1 million shares of the stock.

In the past 12 months – no share acquisitions or dispositions for Xemplar Energy Corp.

Overview From August 20, 2007 to November 7, 2007, shares of Xemplar rose 660%. Xemplar attracted the attention of the market specifically because of its Warmbad Uranium Project in Namibia. At the height of the strong 2007 uranium market, speculators suggested the geology of Warmbad had the potential to contain an intrusive-hosted uranium deposit; similar to Rossing (Namibia), the third-largest uranium mine in the world. Detailed surface radiometric surveys, geological mapping and surface drilling (2008 & 2009, Xemplar drilled 71,000 metres) were used to outline eight (8) Alaskite zones displaying continuous low-grade uranium mineralization – based on the share price performance, Warmbad has not lived up to its early speculative potential.

OTHER NEWS

• Uranium market: Uranium market: Uranium market: Uranium market: The spot price of uranium continued its climb last week, to close up +US$0.50/lb at US$61.00/lb U3O8, according to Ux Consulting. Although the spot price has been quickly converging onto the long-term contract price of uranium (currently US$65.oo/lb U3O8) and closing the window of opportunity for the carry trade, other determining factors in the spot price’s run-up continue to be long-term Chinese buying activity and hedge fund physical demand, which were particularly pronounced over the last three months. We expect demand to crest in December and then pick up again between January and March. With relatively tight supply on the market, the near-term direction that the price of uranium takes will still depend to a great extent on Chinese and hedge fund buying, even though this demand remains mostly discretionary.

• Silver pricesSilver pricesSilver pricesSilver prices rose to new 30-year highs taking the gold ratio to the lowest level since February 2007.

Queenston controls 200 square kilometres of mineral properties in the Kirkland Lake gold camp in Ontario, which has historically produced over 40 million ounces of gold. QMI also has two properties (one 100% owned, one 50/50 JV) covering six kilometres of the Cadillac Break, west of Agnico-Eagle’s Lapa mine in Cadillac Township Quebec. Charles Page is President and CEO.

• Last week, QMI released assay results from 66 additional surface drill holes from its 100%-owned Upper Canada property in Kirkland Lake, designed to test for an open-pit, potentially bulk mineable target at the project. The highlight from infill drilling was 10.43 g/t Au over 17.3 metres at 144 metres down the hole. Upper Canada is currently being drilled with three drill rigs, to be increased to five rigs in 2010 and an NI 43-101 resource is expected in Q1/11. The project has a historic underground resource (not 43-101 compliant) of 422,000 oz Au at 6.91 g/t.

• Queenston’s projects can roughly be broken down into Kirkland East and Kirkland West properties. The Kirkland East properties consist of 1,109 mineral claims (23 properties) which are 100% owned by the company. The Kirkland West properties consist of 142 mineral claims (seven properties) which are 50/50 joint ventures with Kirkland Lake Gold, as well as a 100%-owned property adjacent to the JV land.

• Queenston’s Kirkland East projects cover 30 kilometres of the Larder Lake Break, a key structure which hosts mineralization in the Kirkland Lake camp. They include Upper Canada and the Upper Beaver project, which hosts a current NI 43-101 resource of 638,000 oz Au and 22.1 million lbs Cu (8.15 g/t Au and 0.41% Cu). A resource update is expected in Q1/11, based on 40,000 metres of drilling below the current resource. In 2011, Queenston intends to advance Upper Beaver towards feasibility and mine development. McBean-Anoki is host to a total of 453,000 oz Au (4.71 g/t) in two deposits.

• Near the Kirkland Lake Main Break mineralized structure at the west end of the camp, Queenton is exploring a series of 50/50 joint ventures with Kirkland Lake Gold immediately to the south and east of KGI’s 100% owned properties, including a portion of the South Mine Complex, currently being mined at KGI’s 100% owned Macassa Mine. The portion of the SMC resource that falls onto 50% QMI land has a NI 43-101 resource of 300,000 oz Au at 44.4 g/t (50% QMI). Underground drilling on the JV land is ongoing and an exploration drift is being advanced along the JV claim boundary to further explore east of the SMC deposit.

• In October 2010, Agnico-Eagle announced a $35 million strategic investment in QMI. The companies also agreed to a technical services agreement, providing Queenston access to Agnico’s geological and mining engineering teams. Agnico now owns 11% of QMI’s fully diluted shares.
