SUMMARY - Past geological reports, proximity to theShakespeare Gold Mine, assays on adjoining claims showing Kimberlite indicator minerals all support the case for continued exploration in this area. Test results by from the samples provided to Kennecott did not show Kimberlite minerals, but, did not conclusively prove there are none in the area. Gold content in the area tested is low. Despite this, work will continue in 1997, as the Shakespeare Mine is not more than 3000 feet north of the exploration area

Mr Peter G Blue 207 Sweeney Drive Toronto, ONM4A 1V5

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your submittal on your diamond property in Ontario dated November 25 th and sent to Mr. John Burgess. John has passed this information on to me.

Kennecott Canada Inc. has a strong commitment to exploring diamonds on properties across Canada, mainly due to our success I have to be careful about entering new projects that may divert funds and resources from our existing discoveries.

Some of the criteria that must be met for Kennecott to enter a new diamond project would be the presence of diamonds or the presence of favorable mineral indicator chemistry

The geochemical data you have given me is not diagnostic If you have some dykes containing olivinethese could indeed be interesting. If you could obtain 20kg of this material we would process this rock for free with full disclosure of the results If the results are positive we could then talk about a deal Please call me if you are interested.

Yours truly,

KENNECOTT CANADA INC.

Dear Mr Blue.

Thank you tor the rock sample submitted to Kennecott C'anada's mineral processing lab for evaluation. Following is detail of the process of evaluation conducted by this laboratory. We found no minerals of significance to diamond exploration in the sample provided. Enclosed are all fractions of your sample for your continued research.

Hand Specimenl observed a hand specimen of the rock supplied and determined that it was a fine grained mafic

to intermediate intrusive rock, probably gabbro or diorite. Without knowledge of its source, the rock may the volcanic equivalent, basalt or andesite The rock is metamorphosed and slightly scrpentitized, and non-magnetic. The rock is an unlikely source for diamond, however, we crushed and processed a split from the sample just m case, and looked tor kimberlite indicator minerals.

ProcessingFirst, the rock sample \\as combined, then sent to Chemex Labs (Thunder Bay) and crushed to

minus d 25 inch. The sample was then split, and half was deslimed (to remove line rock flour). Slimes were discarded. The - l mm. material was then sieved (oversize stored), and split into a coarse and fine fraction (undersizc stored), then both fractions were separated using magnetic separator (non-mags stored) l he magnetic fraction was later titrated in heavy liquid ( 2. W g/cc S.(i.) to eliminate minerals of low specific gravity Floats were discarded A split of the hcav\ mineral concentrate (HMC) was then observed by trained technicians who searched tor kimberlite indicator minerals.

ResultsNo kimberlite indicator minerals \\ere found m the heavy mineral concentrates observed. The

concentrates are m essence amphibole, serpentine and minor rutile. No minerals if significance to diamond exploration were found

In the pail with this letter are the hand specimen, the minus 0.25 crushed split, a bag of oversize, undersizc and non-mags, two tubs of heavy mineral concentrate, and 2 large pill bottles of HMC material that was picked for indicator minerals The weight of this package is 37 pounds. Material washed away during dcsliming or material that floated in heavy liquid accounts for the loss in weight.

Smcerelv,

MODERN PROSPECTING FOR PLACER GOLD

The Goldspear Method

DivingA completely different way of prospecting will a l so he mentioned: namely di ving (with suit). The diver swims down to the bottom or, if it is shallow water, floats on the surface and carefully "fans" with an implement like .T table- tennis bat over deposits on the bottom. The idea is that the diver vvill fan away sand and black sand, pick out larger stones by hand and then see the re maining grains of gold, which are sucked up with a small rubber bulb like theacid tester.We shall leave it to the reader to decide whether this method is successful or not. You can though make pood use of n diver's iru^k, if r.ece.s-^rv -^r,.. snorkel, in clearer watercourses. You can then see how the bottom looks ant! •-earch for cracks, holes, pot lio'.es, etc.

SummarySumming up different methods of prospecting gives us this resull:

The gold pan is simple, cheap, easy to carry, but hopelessly slow. The sluice box is fairly quick and simple, but it has difficulty in trappirik:

fine gold.The motorized washing arrangements are expensive, large, heavy.These

are only suitable for production, when you have in fact found a ecoti loca tion with large quantities of gold-bearing gravel. It also has difficulty i:, imp- ping fine gold.Tile other methods and implements can perform a reasonable serviceunder certain condition,.

* * *

When it comes to prospecting there is only one reasonable alternati-.e: the unbeatable combination of GOLD PAN and GOLDSPKAR.

The GOLDSPEAR PROSPECTOR is up to 1000 !;mes quicker th:-.r the

gold pan alone.We shall in the next chapter b™ describing in more detail this revolutionary

new method of finding gold.

(Chapter 5The Goldspear Prospectoris an electronic gold prospecting instrument designed only for seeking gold. It is not like any other type of detector and it also works on quite different principles.

It required 15 years for the inventor and his team — from the first proto type in 1969 — to develop the Goldspear and start series production in 1984. Rigorous field tests in well-known gold fields around the world demonstra ted that the Goidspear works with the same precision in CaJifornia's moun tain regions, South America's jungles, Australia's deserts, Alaska's water courses and seashores as well as Scandinavia's forest soils.

- * r'hmc Goldspcar you can find a single crain of iiold -only 0.05 nun in si/e - j C ^^eep'ih the ground! Also under water, e.g. in brooks and river beds, where 'J t here is a lot of gold to bc found. And this is \s ithout any digging.

Goldspear has only two knobs and is therefore very simple to operate. All ' adjustments are made in the factory. An ordinary 9 volt battery powers the

instrument's microchip electronics and is lasts for several weeks of normal i use. You don't have to read from a meter or figures. Goldspear is equipped i with earphones. The measuring tube with its sensor tip(F:g. 27) is completely i watertight. Under normal conditions the apparatus is also waterproof, i dustproof, climateproof and shockproof.

The Electronics BoxThe box is made of extruded aluminium. Anodizcd, it is rainproof, splash- proof, dustproof and shockproof. Withstands any climate. Including batte ry it weighs 1.3 kg. Built with care and quality to bc able to withstand out door use. One year's guarantee.

Limitations: It can probably manage a dip under water but will perhaps have to dry out for a day afterwards. (The guarantee does not cover any such water damage though). The apparatus does not withstand being dropped from great heights.

34

The Measuring and Extension TubesTlie measuring tube, in stainless steel, is 1.2 m long with a diameter of mm. At the top end is a connection that fits into the electronics box. The con nection is 18 mm in diameter. It is screwed tight or loosened from the box w ith a single twist of the hand. An extension tube can be connected between the measuring tube and the electronics box. You can in principle use as many as you like. In practice, though, extensions over 6 metres (5 tubes) usually be come unwieldy. The extension tubes are made from special alloy aluminium and are 15 mm in diameter and l .2 m long. Goldspear works equally well re gardless of the number of tubes. If you connect many extension tubes to your Goldspcar, the signals may be changed somewhat. A response that should have been yellow becomes instead orange. If you are using many tubes, an orange lamp is given a higher value than normal. There ar-e connections at both ends of the extension tubes. The tubes can be connected together in a few seconds. No tools are needed.

Provided you have screwed them together properly, all tubes and connec tions are watertight. Weigh:: measuring tube 0.7 kg, extension tube 0.6 kg U-ig. 27).

When the connections are screwed together you can notice some mechani cal play which sc-netimes produces a clicking sound. This mechanical play is nothing to worry about: it is supposed to be like that.

The Sensor Tipis at one end of the measuring tube. It is the sensor w hich picks up the signals from gold, minerals and black sand. To withstand the stresses during pro specting the tip is made of hard metal that is used in a rock drill and, of course, its mounting ir. the measuring tube is watertight.

Limitation: The sensor tip can stand great wear stresses but must of course not be used as a spit or crowbar.

When you take a break in your prospecting work, the measuring tube with its sensor tip is to be drawn up from the ground. You then avoid the corro sion damage that can occur, if the soil is "aggressive", ie. high acid or base content.

After finishing prospecting in salt water you should rinse the sensor :ip with a little fresh water. You can also wipe of f the tip carefully with a kitchen paper towel or cloth.

When prospecting with Goldspear you gently (max. 20 cm/second) stick the measuring tube down into the ground. When the sensor tip passes through gravel and sand it measures among other things the electric potential in each grain of mineral in its way and continuously sends up the measured values to the electronics box, where they arc divided up and analysed.

Octetli is difficult to explain simply how Goldspear can analyse and distinguish different minerals. This though is not information that is necessary for the person prospecting. For the person looking lor gold it is more useful to know how to hail die t he instrument. That i s something we shall come to further on.

AnyhoV, the sensor tip picks up electrical signals from what it encounters. Grains of different minerals give values of varying height. Gold and plati num the highest. Minerals rich in metals somewhat lower. Minerals low in metals appreciably lower. Black sand gives the lowest values of all, ('apart from ordinary sand which doesn't give any value at all).

Depending on what level the measured values have — or how "good" they :;re when fed into the ?!ctronics hox they are divided into four classes. The electronics runs four different detectors. For these to emit sound and light signals it is necessary for the \ allies from the sensor tip to be sufficiently high or"good".

On the front panel are four ii^-ht emitting diodes (LCDs), two knobs and an earphone sucker. The LEDs ha\e different colours — green, red, orange and yellow', each connected to its detector. When a detector "fires", it also fires its LED which blinks and light-; for about two seconds. This is the time you have to get an idea of what interesting mineral the sensor tip has found. So that you don't have to have your eyes glued to the front panel when pro specting the detector circuits aNu emit sound. A different sound for each de tector circuit.

The black sand detector emits a crackling type of sound when the sensor tip encounters black sand. A ,'-i! of black sand means a strong crackle. If there i*; only a little black sand in i he ground a ticking sound is heard. The red detector emits a one second long, quite low tone, the orange detector is re sponsible for a medium-high tone for just over a second, while the y el lo w de tector emits a high tone for about two seconds.

The idea is that you will be ab!'.-to hear by the level of the tone w hich detec tor is responding. It is only if you are uncertain about the sound that you can check which LED is blinking with a quick glance at the front panel. Apart from this brief moment you can use your e^es for something else, for ex ample looking where you are going, so there is no need to stumble blindly into a brook or something.

Each "good" grain which the sensor tip encounters thus fires its own de tector once. Two good grains fire the respective detector twice, while a hund red grains give a hundred responses and so on. Goldspear can tell how many grains the sensor lip encounters, not how large the grains are. This is impor tant to remember. We shall return to this later on.

The green detector senses the weakest signals of all from the sensor tip and

thus reacts to black sand, all minerals and gold. The red deicctor is l i red by s r* m e vi. luit higher measured value.-*. Everything from minerals low in metal to gold. 'I ne orange detector signals minerals rich in metals and gold, while the yellow detector, finally, only responds to gold (and platinum).

You can can also describe the four detectors as follows: the green detector is supersensitiveand reacts to all minerals, apart from pure sand and has very lillie discrimination (ie. ability to distinguish different minerals from each other). The red detector has high sensitivity with low discrimination. The orange detector has medium sensitivity and medium discrimination. The yel low detector has low sensitivity but high discrimination.

A single valuable grain is enough to get one of the detectors to react. "Worthless" grains of mineral — gravel and sand cannot even once get the green black sand detector to be interested. And that applies-even when the sensor tip encounters millions of such grains.

The KnobsSometimes for some reason you may not want to hear the black sand detec tor. Then it is rr.ereiv a quest i on of turning down t he sound with the lower vo lume control knob. Tins affects only the green (black sand) detector.

The other knob is on a switch with five positions. Position l, Test, on the fa r left, we shall be returning to. Ir. position 2, Off, the whole apparatus is switched off. In position 3 all the detectors are working and giving sound and light signals when the sensor tip finds anything interesting. In position 4 ail the detectors are working as usual but the sound from the red detector is dis connected. The yellow , orange and green detectors a re heard though. In po sition 5 the sound from the red and orange detectors i .s off. T!-, c yellow and red detectors arc heard though (see Fig. 2S).

The reason you can disconnect the sound from the red — or red and oranee detectors - is that when prospecting you can conic across an area where there is an unusually large amount o!" minerals rich in metals which gi\e a response on the red and 'or orange detectors. In this situation you can choose to 'i-ter. only to the yellow detector, or to the \ellow and orange detector. In \shich position, 3, 4 or 5, you set the detectors is mostly a matter of taste. It is nor mal though, and this is important, to have it in position 3.

Interpreting the SignalsRed signal can be taken as a "Good chance that this is gold, best to check though by test panning". And do the panning carefully. It is chief!) micro- gold or minerals low in metals which give a red response. If within a limited area you gel red signals and the final result — alter soine test paniungs - Joes not prove to be gold, but e.g. pyrite instead, then set the knob to position 4 and try again.

When the summer starts lo bloom and you can paddle a canoe or hike — then i lie most interesting time for prospecting with Goldspear has arrived. We have mentioned before about noting the number of responses and their co lour on the map. We mention it again. It is important. There will bc many beeps and places to keep a check on. And it is so easy to forget.

Within a limited area you can make your own map or sketch on a suitable scale, on \\hich you note the number of responses with three different colou red pens — red, orange and yellow.

The various minerals you can find in connection with gold prospecting are never to be discarded before you examine them carefully. Many rare mine rals arc valuable. This applies for example to black sand of a certain grade and in large quantities. Such a find can pro\ide a ,:*:abie income.

Ilach little "beep" which Goldspear gives off is equal to a strike — a detected grain. An important question is: how many beeps per insertion are needed to make it worth digging? This question is difficult to answer. Many factors are involved - the price of gold, the size of the grains of gold in the actual area, at w hat depth the gold lies and how much work is required to get the gold out.

The rule of thumb is: one insertion 1.2 metres deep or two insertions 60 cm deep, etc. represent approximately one pan. When washing with a pan the number of grains o f gold remaining in the pan arecoumed. When Goldspear prospecting the number of strikes is counted the whole time, which amounts to the same thing. In loose soil with Goldspear you will be able to do nne "panning" in a matter of seconds.

Prospecting w ith Goldspear opens up many new possibilities. You quickly learn in technique and easily find your own tricks. At times when the ground is hard the temptation is known to go at it with more than one hand. Follow the instructions for use - and leave it alone!

Why then? Because the analyses can otherw ise easily be misleading. Wha: should give a red indication is easily changed to orange or completely yellow. Therefore press down the Spear with one hand .The other hand can be used to advantage in guiding or supporting the tube (Fig. 20).
