1. INTRODUCTION

On July 15, 1988 a working option agreement, between David F. Petrunka and Cold Spring Granite (Canada) Ltd., was singed for 24 mining claims located in the townships of Pic, McCoy 6 Coldwell. The option agreement covered 24 mining claims located in the townships of Pic, Mccoy b Coldwell, subsequently, after the signing of the July 15 document Cold Spring had an additional 44 claims staked in these areas including 4 claims in O'Neill township.

This project focused on three target areas which will hereby be referred to as: Site l, the Canadian Red Property, located in Coldwell Township, the rock in this group of claims essentially consisted of a fine to medium grained red syenite. Sites 2 St 3, the Canadian Black Properties l St 2 f l ocated in McCoy & Pic Townships and O'Neill A Pic Townships respectively. The rock in this group of claims investigated was essentially composed of fine to medium grained greenish black larvikite.

Cold Spring Granite undertook an extensive evaluation program, which for the sake of clarity is broken down in this report into three categories, Field Studies, Lab Investigations and Market Studies.

The Field Study segment of this project was composed of six segments; a regional ground and aerial reconnaissance program, regional geologic reconnaissance program, a bulk sampling program, a diamond drilling program and a ground probing radar program.

The Lab Investigations segment of this project was composed of ASTM testing, petrographic analysis, chemical analysis, weathering evaluation, sample and monument fabrication, slab polishing and sand blasting - contrast testing.

The Market Study segment of this project composed of a market survey and evaluation, transportation study and monument mock up evaluations.

Based on the results and information obtained from these three evaluation categories Cold Spring Granite is of the opinion that the properties investigated under this project, in the Marathon area, are not viable for a major quarry operation. This report will therefore address these concerns and discuss in depth the results and findings obtained on each of the aforementioned topics.

2. LOCATION 6 ACCESS

2.1 CANADIAN RED

The Canadian Red Property, consisting of 5 + 28 claims, is located in Coldwell Township, approximately 24 Kms northwest of the Town of Marathon on Highway 17 (Figure 1). Access to the northern claims is very difficult, relief is steep and is compounded by crosscutting ravines and fairly thick bush. There are no developed access roads to the interior of the claims; however, there is one route which is used to gain access to the summit of the mountain. This route, which belongs to Bell Canada, starts from the back side of the mountain, off Highway 17, and steeply winding it's way to the summit, from this point it may be possible to construct a road to the lower target areas. Although theoretically possible this access is difficult and presents numerous problems associated with construction and maintenance, this route is therefore considered not practical or economically feasible. All other potential routes investigated also proved to be extremely difficult, lengthy and presents a formidable task to secure and construct access to potential quarriable areas.

2.2 CANADIAN BLACK #1

The Canadian Black #1 Property, consisting of 19 * li claims, is located in McCoy and Pic Townships, approximately 8 Kms north of the Town of Marathon, west off Highway 17 and east of the rail line (Figure 1). Access to the investigated claims was accomplished by using the Angler Creek Road which cuts diagonally, from Hwy 17 in a southwest - northeast direction, through the northern portion of the claim group.

2.3 CANADIAN BLACK 4*2

The Canadian Black #2 Property, consisting of. 5 claims, is located in O'Neill and Pic Townships, approximately 4 Kms east of the town of Marathon and directly north of Shack Lake. Access to the lower portion of the property, claim TB 1081536, can be achieved by taking the Shack Lake Road, which is located east of Marathon off the north side of Hwy 626, the first dirt road past the hydro electric station (Figure 1).

3. TOPOGRAPHY

3.1 CANADIAN RED PROPERTY

This property can be divided into two sections, north of Hwy 17 which is initially very steep and rugged, once on top of the escarpment the relief is moderate and consists of gradual rising

rolling hills to the summit. The upper area is bare to lightly forested. This northern section is dissected by very steep north south trending ravines which further subdivides this section into three major blocks.

The section south of Hwy 17 has relatively low relief, moderately forested, with fairly dense underbrush and some low lying interspersed spruce swamps.

3.2 CANADIAN BLACK ttl

This property can be divided into two sections, the northern claims which are essentially low lying and relatively flat with moderate forest coverage and the southern group of claims which are located on more hilly, rougher and lightly forested terrain.

3.3 CANADIAN BLACK #2

This property can be divided into two sections, the eastern 3 claims which are located on fairly low lying swampy ground and the western 2 claims which are situated on higher, rougher ground. The area is considered to be moderately forested terrain with fairly thick underbrush.

4. PROPERTY HISTORIES

4.1 CANADIAN BLACK ttl PROPERTY

The Canadian Black #1 property has a fairly extensive history of intermittent small scale quarry operations which can be dated back to the late 1880's. The Canadian Pacific Railroad, during this period, extracted stone for the construction of railroad bridges over the Pic and Little Pic Rivers from two quarries in the Marathon Area. The first quarry being some 2000' north of Marathon, formerly Peninsula Station, which was almost adjacent to the CPR tracts on the eastern side and the second some 1200' west of Marathon on the shore line of Lake Superior.

Commercial small scale quarrying operations began in 1927 with Peninsula Granite Quarries Ltd. simutaniously developing two quarry sites. During the fourteen months of operations, 1929 and 193O, 24 car loads of black Augite Syenite and 2 car loads of red syenite were shipped via rail.

In 1931 Peninsula Granite Quarries Ltd. was purchased by the Cold Spring Granite Company, of Cold Spring Minnesota. Immediately after this acquisition Cold Spring opened up a new quarry, in order to eliminate the 180O' haul to the railway, east of the CPR tracks and approximately 3/4 of a mile north of Peninsula Station.

l l l l l l l l ll l l l l l l l l l

These workings remained active through 1932 when operations had to be suspended due to the slow down in the economy which created a low demand "for construction materials.

During this time or slightly after another granite operation, by the name of Angler Granites Ltd., extracted stone, from the Angler Creek area, north of Peninsula, from their property which consisted of 11 claims. Small amounts of material were extracted from several workings ranging from red, to brown to a dark black. Due to problems encountered in their quarry operations, activities were suspended some time in late 1932.

The area remained dormant until 1960 when the Lake Superior Stone Syndicate acquired 47 claims in the area which is currently occupied by the Cold Spring claim block. Despite much promotion, this company never went into production, it is speculated that this was essentially due to a lack of financing and/or their inability to secure the necessary markets.

Activity once again picked up in the mid eighties when Noranda Inc. acquired two claim blocks in 1985, the northern property consisting of 9 claims and the southern section consisting of 6 claims. These two claim blocks were held for one year, assessment work consisted of geologic mapping of the two properties.

The area was then acquired by Mr. D. Petrunka, of Thunder Bay, in 1985/6 a total of 19 claims were secured. Various interested parties investigated Mr. Petrunka's claims over the years; however, no real interest ever developed.

In 1988 Cold Spring Granite Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Petrunka which consisted of his 19 claims in the Seeley Lake Area and 5 claims in the Coldwell area. Soon after acquiring the claims in the Seeley Lake Area Cold Spring had an additional 11 claims staked (Figure 2). Over the next three years Cold Spring conducted various forms of work to evaluate the potential of this area for large scale quarry operations.

Other claims were staked to the north and south of Cold Spring's claim block over 1988/89; however, to date no serious in-depth investigations have been undertaken.

4.2 CANADIAN BLACK #2 PROPERTY

With the exception of the claims being staked for Cold Spring Granite in 1988, there has been no activity for dimension stone on this ground in the past (Figure 3).

5. GENERAL GEOLOGY

The Marathon - Coldwell district is occupied by a group of intrusives which are collectively referred to as the Coldwell Complex. The Complex is essentially composed of syenites which are of the Precambrian age and occupy approximately 100 square miles.

5.1 CANADIAN RED

The Red Hornblende Syenite is a fine to medium grained, equigranular meta-intrusive, with fine to pegmatitic equivalents and slight changes in mineralogy. The major mineral components are feldspar - hematitically stained, hornblende and augite, with minor amounts of magnetite and sulfides - (pyrite ?). Other reported associated minerals include nepheline, olivine, apatite, carbonate, biotite, iron - titanium oxides, and fluorite. The weathered surface of the unit is a pale brownish-red colour.

5.2 BROWN SYENITE

The Brown Augite Syenite is a medium to coarse grained equigranular meta-intrusive with fine grained equivalents and slight changes in mineralogy. The major mineral components include feldspar, augite and hornblende, with minor amounts of magnetite. Other reported associated minerals include nepheline, olivine, apatite, carbonate, biotite, iron - titanium oxides, and fluorite. The weathered surface of the unit is a pale buff-brown colour.

5.3 CANADIAN BLACK ttl fc #2

The Black Augite Syenite (Laurvikite) is a fine to medium grained, equigranular meta-intrusive, with porphyritic and pegmatitic equivalents. The major mineral components are feldspar, augite and hornblende, with minor amounts magnetite.

6. FIELD STUDIES

6.1 GROUND RECONNAISSANCE PROGRAM

During September of 1988 a Ground Reconnaissance program was conducted over the three properties by William Kelly, project geologist and granite quarry consultants Ed Charles, quarry master and Ken Champagne, quarrier. The objective of this survey was to ascertain the homogeneity of the colour and texture of the stone in each prospect, evaluate the integrity of the deposits, select potential drill hole locations, establish potential access routes, establish control points which would be used in an aerial reconnaissance of the prospects, select areas which could easily facilitate the removal of test blocks and to develop an exploration plan.

6.1.1 Canadian Red Property

The comparison of colour and texture throughout this group of claims was accomplished by packing around a representative sample, obtained from a target area which had been previously identified by representatives of Cold Spring, and visually comparing this specimen to fresh samples obtained from outcrops of exposed stone or from areas which required little stripping. The survey indicated that the stone was reasonably homogeneous and showed only localized areas of imperfections such as pegmatitic zones and slight colour and textural changes.

There was a slight gradational colour change observed, it appeared to start in the eastern section of the claim group, which was rather pinkish, a slight zoning of the feldspar grains and gradually increased in the red colouration as the survey progressed to the western claims. The structure for the most part appeared fairly massive with zones of widely spaced orthogonal jointing, 3 to 5 metres. These zones which exhibited higher potential were marked off and classified as primary targets, diamond drill hole locations were spotted and control points for the aerial survey established.

Due to the rugged terrain and streams, access was extremely difficult and restricted, so it was decided to remove a test block from the southern side of Hwy 17.

6.1.2 Canadian Black ttl Property

The comparison of colour and texture throughout this group of claims was accomplished by packing around a representative sample, obtained from a target area which had been previously identified by representatives of Cold Spring, and visually comparing this specimen to fresh samples obtained from outcrops of exposed stone or from areas which required little stripping. The results of this survey were quite different form the survey conducted on the Canadian Red. Deep seated weathering obscured the true colour of the rock and made it impossible to ascertain relative competency of the rock. This deep sappy weathering also gave rise to concerns as to the porosity and potential problems resulting from accelerated weathering, samples from below the weathering horizon would have to be obtained. It must be noted that despite the actual unweathered colour of the stone, be it black, brown or red, all surficial weathering resulted in a buff colouration of exposed outcrops.

Textural variations were difficult to establish, again essentially due to the uniform colouration of the weathered surface; however, dramatic textural changes were observed in localized areas, the textures varied from fine grained to pegmatitic within these small exposed areas, an appearance of a textural marble swirl or mixing bowl. These observed dramatic changes gave rise to concern over the uniformity and homogeneity of the rock in this investigated area.

Due to these extreme variations in colour and texture and the difficulty associated with extracting a test block from a flat unopened area it was decided to remove a test block from the northern end of claim 962301, exposure and access was reasonable, texture seemed rather uniform and there was a ledge which could be worked.

6.1.3. Canadian Black #2 Property

Again, the comparison of colour and texture throughout this group of claims was accomplished by packing around a representative sample, obtained from a target area which had been previously identified by representatives of Cold Spring, and visually comparing this specimen to fresh samples obtained from outcrops of exposed stone or from areas which required little stripping. The results of this survey were similar to survey conducted on the Canadian Black #1 Property. Deep seated weathering obscured the true colour of the rock and made it impossible to ascertain relative competency of the rock. This deep sappy weathering also gave rise to concerns as to the porosity and potential problems

resulting from accelerated weathering, samples from below the weathering horizon would have to be obtained. It must be noted

that despite the actual unweathered colour of the stone, be it black, brown or red, all surficial weathering resulted in a buff colouration.

Textural variations were not as apparent in this survey but they were still present and due to the apparent similarities between the two black properties with respect to colour and texture, and given the limited access to the heart of these claims, no test block was extracted.

6.2 AERIAL RECONNAISSANCE PROGRAM

Two helicopter reconnaissance programs were conducted over the properties, the first over the Canadian Red Property in October of 1988 and the second over all three properties in June of 1989.

6.2.1 First Aerial Reconnaissance Survey

The first survey was conducted, over the Canadian Red Property, in order to obtain a better overall interpretation and impression of the structure, surface fracturing f j ointing, relief and to establish potential drill hole targets and access routes.

Control points were established during the ground reconnaissance program on prominent outcrops prior to the aerial survey. These points were then used for orientation from which potential target areas could be selected and plotted.

This technique proved to be extremely useful and effective in this reconnaissance phase. A good general appreciation of the property was obtained, both potential drill hole targets and access routes were established.

6.2.2 Second Aerial Reconnaissance Survey

The second survey was conducted, over all three properties with the main emphasis being on the two Canadian Black Properties. Again, previously positioned control points were used for orientation and correlation with surface work and observations.

The survey was essentially conducted for the same reasons as previously stated, to obtain a better comprehensive interpretation of the structure, surface fracturing / j ointing, topography and to establish potential drill hole targets and access routes.

A second survey was required over the Canadian Red Property due to the results which were being obtained from the drilling

program. A review of the drill hole locations was required to try

and establish some correlation between surface and subsurface features from a regional perspective.

This technique proved itself again to be extremely useful and effective in this reconnaissance phase over the two black sites. A good general appreciation of the property was obtained, both potential drill hole targets and access routes were established; however, the second was unsuccessful with respect to the Canadian Red Property. No distinguishable regional features or visible structural trends could be observed which could account for the results which were being obtained in the drilling program.

6.3 BULK SAMPLING PROGRAM

In September of 1988 it was decided by the management of Cold Spring Granite to have their representatives remove test blocks from two properties, the Canadian Red and the Canadian Black #1. These test blocks were extracted and shipped to Cold Spring Minnesota for the purpose of further testing and evaluation.

6.3.1 Canadian Red

Due to the extremely rugged terrain to the north of highway 17 and the unfavorable structure, colour and textural features observed in outcrops south of highway 17, it was decided that a bulk sample would have to be removed from the road side of highway 17. A location in the Neys passing lanes road cut was selected on the bassis of the location displaying massive structural characteristics, good overall representative colour and texture, and facilitated easy access and extraction.

The extraction of this test block was accomplished by using air hammers, a compressor and wedges and feathers, in addition a 65 ton crane was used for the removal and loading of this bulk sample. The block measured, once trimmed and finally loaded, approximately 4.5'X 8.5'X 5.0 feet, some 191.25 cubic feet or 34,425 l bs (Photo l fc 2).

The extracted block appeared to be of good quality stone. The colour, texture appeared to be consistent throughout the sample and it appeared to be free from inclusions, seams or other imperfections which could negatively influence the future tests. The only concern was the fact that this sample was extracted from a road cut and although the block was extracted from a location which appeared to be protected by natural seams there was no way to absolutely insure that there was no structural damage on a microscopic level. This should, if any blast induced microfracturing did exist, be detectable in the petrographic

analysis and ASTM testing. These topics will be addressed in the appropriate sections.

6.3.2 Canadian Black #1

Due to the massiveness of the stripped areas and extensive weathering of the cap rock it was difficult to locate a site which did not involve an excessive amount of excavation of surface material. A site on the north western boundary of claim TB 962301, map 3 B, was selected on the bassis of access, ease of extraction and apparent uniformity.

The extraction of this test block was accomplished by using air hammers, a compressor and wedges and feathers, in addition a front end loader was used for the removal and loading of this bulk sample. The block measured, once trimmed and finally loaded, approximately 4.5'X 6.5'X 5.0' feet, some 146.25 cubic feet or 26,325 Ibs (Photo 3 & 4).

The extracted block appeared to be of fair quality stone, at least the best that could be expected from this area. The colour, texture appeared to be relatively consistent throughout the sample and the sample appeared to be free from inclusions; however, there were two weathered seams which cut horizontally through the block, if cut properly enough stone could be salvaged to conduct the required tests. It was therefore decided that because of the positioning of these seams and the small degree of weathering associated with these linear imperfections that this block would be adequate and these minor flaws should not negatively influence the future tests.

The depth of weathering encountered during the removal of the test block gave rise to concern over the true depth of weathering in this area. The fact that cap rock, the first 14 + inches, exhibited severe pervasive weathering contributed to the speculation that this weathering phenomena, though not megascopicaly apparent or developed in the freshly extracted sample, was a direct result of the porosity of this rock. There was no way to establish the true depth or extent of this porosity during this phase of testing. In order to decipher if the porosity reduced with depth or was an associated structural feature found throughout the unit. Subsequent examination and testing of core samples would be required to establish the extent of this negative physical property. These properties were examined for and will be discussed further in the appropriate sections of this report.

6.4 DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM

In February of 1988 a Diamond Drilling program was commenced by Cold Spring, a total of 43 IAWS, l 5/16", holes were drilled

totaling some 1893.2 feet. The results of this program are

discussed in greater depth in the following sections, for more details refer to the Diamond Drill Logs in appendix I.

6.4.1 Canadian Red Property

The diamond drilling program started in February of 1989, essentially due to the restricted accessibility during the summer months. It took several weeks to establish snowmobile access routes to the drilling locations, which were located and identified during the ground reconnaissance survey and during the ground probing radar survey.

A total of 32 IAWS holes were drilled totaling some 1225.5 feet. Initially only 10 holes were slated for this property; however, the results obtained from the first 5 holes clearly indicated that there was no correlation to be found between any of the holes. Significant differences in texture and colour in addition to the complexity of the geology, mafic intrusions and fracturing, resulted in the necessity to sample on a broader scale and to include several additional locations.

The results of the drilling program on this property demonstrated strong evidence that the deep red colouration, sought after, is an enhancement associated with chemical alteration along fault planes or shear zonec - enriched hydrothermal solutions facilitated the alteration. This alteration along these structural features created an alteration halo of deeper coloured stone - in all cases as the drilling moved away from these prominent structural features the syenite progressively became more pinkish. The potassium feldspar crystals lost the pervasive red colour resulting in a reddish zoning around the individual grains with the interior of the crystals being a light pink. This progressed until potassium crystals completely lost this zoning, the syenite was at this phase a light bland pink. The alteration halo was variable, gradational changes were found to commence anywhere between 5 and 15 feet from the face of the major southwestern cliffs. In addition no correlation with respect to colour, texture or structure was established between any of the holes.

In closing, the rock texture and colour was found to be highly variable and despite the fact that a few holes displayed a fairly good structure the majority of holes drilled indicated moderately dense unpredictable fracturing, jointing and sheeting. In view of these results it was decided to suspend activities on the Canadian Red Property until a complete analysis of all data could be performed. Efforts were then concentrated on the Canadian Black Properties.

6.4.2 Canadian Black ttl

The diamond drilling program started in May o i 1 989, essentially since the drill hole location had reasonable access during the summer months. Locations were located and identified during the ground reconnaissance survey and during the ground probing radar survey.

A total of 10 IAWS holes were drilled totaling some 566.6 feet. The results obtained from these holes clearly indicated that there was no correlation to be found between any of the holes. Significant differences in texture and colour in addition to the complexity of the geology, mafic intrusions, change in lithology and fracturing, resulted in the necessity to suspend any further work on this property until a complete analysis of all data.

The results of the drilling program on this property demonstrates strong evidence that the investigated area of this property has very dense sheeting, these fracture planes are filled - lined with obsidian, black glassy mineral, the correlation between the diamond drilling and the results from the ground probing will be discussed in that section. In addition to the dense sheeting there appears to be no correlation with respect to colour and texture between any of the drill holes.

In closing the rock texture and colour is highly variable and despite the fact that a few holes displayed a fair structure the majority indicated moderately dense unpredictable fracturing, jointing and sheeting. In view of these results it was decided to suspend activities on the Canadian Black ttl Property and concentrate efforts on the Canadian Black #2 property.

6.4.3 Canadian Black tt2 Property

The diamond drilling program started in June of 1989. The drill hole, CB-li-89, was located at a site which was previously identified during the ground reconnaissance survey.

One IAWS hole was drilled on claim TB 1081536 which totaled some 101.1 feet. The results obtained from this hole clearly indicated that the only correlation between the previous holes drilled, some 4 kms to the north, and CB-11-89 was the poor structural features. Similarities with respect to texture, colour and the complexity of the geology, fracturing, jointing and sheeting resulted in the necessity to suspend any further activity on this property until a complete analysis of all available data was made.

The results of the drilling program on this property demonstrates strong evidence that this property would have very dense sheeting, the correlation between this drill hole and the results obtained from the northern property would tend to suggest that much of this area in the Coldwell Complex is strongly influenced by fairly wide spread zones of dense sheeting.

6.5 GROUND PROBING RADAR PROJECT

ThP MsrathRn PrOlPFt Was used as a pilot project - case study to evaluate the potential benefits and use of ground probing radar technology in the granite industry.

Results of these surveys were inconclusive. The relationship of fracture positioning and placement along with detail data interpretation with respect to the determination of minor continuous and non-continuous fractures are questionable. Data interpretation was difficult - major trends could be identified; however, minor trends, tight fractures and changes in lithology were not distingwishable.

Despite these shortcomings and limitations, some of which may have been caused by the season in which the survey was conducted ie. temperature, deep snow and frequencies used, the fact remains that this was 'the first attempt of predicting the structural integrity for a potential granite quarry using this technology. With this in mind the process did infact give an indication as to the structural integrity on a reconnaissance level . Further modifications and investigations on, data integrity and interpretation, and adaptation of this technology is required in order to establish if this will become an economical useful tool for the granite industry.

The company of Multiview Geoservices Inc. was contracted for this study, equipment used consisted of the Pulse Ekko III ground penetrating radar and a Compaq SLT 2B6 portable computer. The following sections will describe in detail the results obtained and the conclusions reached from the data interpretations on each property .

6.5.1 Canadian Red Property

A ground probing radar survey was conducted in February of 1989 over four lines of a grid from a preselected site on the Canadian Red group of claims, ref map # 1. All data acquired from this site was obtained using 100 MHz antennas, stations were spaced at 20 metre intervals, lines at 5 metres and readings were taken every metre.

AB depicted in Figure 5 the data from line l indicates that there are some major reflectors within the first or top 10 metres of this chart. Some trends can be interpreted; however, for the most part, any direct correlation between the true competency of the first 10 metres and the degree of fracturing is impossible based on this data alone. According to John Scaffe, of Multiview Inc., a substantial amount of these reflectors may be attributed to the deep snow which caused a fair bit of bounce back. As a result the first two to five metres is and should be considered non-interpretable. Below the 10 metre horizon, based on the geophysical data, the rock's competency appears to substantially improve.

The Diamond Drilling results tend to disclose notably different conclusions, four holes located in and around the grid, show that the earlier interpretations, made by Multiview Inc., do not correlate with the drill hole information. The structure does not improve with depth and dramatic changes in lithology and structural features were not detected, as well as major sand and clay seams. The only explanation at hand for this contradictory interpretation of data, geophysical versus diamond drill hole, is that the signal was somehow attenuated within the first 10 metres - deep snow coverage could be a factor that caused significant energy losses thereby resulting in a loss of penetrability and distortion of true reflectors.

6.5.2 Canadian Black tt l

A ground probing radar survey was conducted in February of 1989 over ten lines, some 800 metres, and a grid from a preselected site on the Canadian Black ttl group of claims, ref map tt 3B. All principal data acquired from this site was obtained using 100 MHz antennas; 50 MHz antennas were used to collect the cross line data (Figure 6), use of this frequency allowed for greater depth penetration and allowed for a correlation between data taken from a different angle during the interpretation. Stations were spaced at 20 metre intervals, lines at 5 metres and readings were taken every metre.

As depicted in Figure 7 the data from line 9 indicates that there are some major continuous and non-continuous reflectors within the first or top 10 metres of this chart. Some significant major trends, can be identified and interpreted from this data and confirmed with a fairly good correlation between the geophysical data and the diamond drilling data. The density of fracturing observed in the drill core can be directly correlated with the numerous reflectors observed in the radar data. It is hypothesized that this direct association can be directly related to the vitreous black glassy mineral which is found filling and lining the fractures and joints of the core from diamond drill holes CB-07 & 08-89.

In addition John Scaffe, of Multiview Inc., has indicated that a substantial number of these reflectors may be in fact considered false reflectors which have been caused by the deep snow. These false reflectors would therefore affect the true resolution or positioning of fractures by distorting true reflectors and masking minor trends. The dead air space which apparently has created this bounce back or ringing effect between the ground surface and the radar antennas, positioned on the surface of the snow, can be blamed for causing a substantial amount of erroneous noise. Despite this, the major trends found in this data strongly suggest that this area is heavily fractured.

Also, the ground probing radar was not able to detect major changes in lithology. This was probably due to a slight change in the dielectric properties of the rock and should have no influence on the overall performance, in relation to the fracture detection capabilities, of this geophysical method.

The Diamond Drilling results obtained from other areas in the Black Properties tend to support the conclusions that the area investigated seems to have pervasive dense sheeting associated throughout this region. This data therefore supports the earlier interpretations made by Multiview Inc.

6.5.3 Conclusion on Ground Probing Radar Surveys

There is no explanation for the conflicting interpretations on the ground probing radar data relating to the structural integrity of each site, why the data collection was more representative of the actual findings of site 4*1, the Canadian Black 4*1 Property, and the data obtained from site 4*2, the Canadian Red Property, was by in large miss leading or false. In view of this it is recommended that further investigations and studies are needed to establish the true capabilities and limitations of this geophysical technique which potentially may have use by the Dimension Stone Industry.

7.1.2 Discussion of the Canadian Red ASTM Test Results

As depicted in chart 4 the test results indicate that these samples of Canadian Red, with the exception of the results obtained from the C 170 test, meet the minimum ASTM test requirements. It is speculated that the compressive strength results may not indicate the true strength of this rock. This test is sometimes susceptible to erroneous results essentially due to poor sample preparation - faces not being true, improper loading of specimen and the direction of loading with respect to rift and grain may all conspire to cause a premature failure. In addition there may have been some induced micro fracturing caused by the heavy blasting when the highway was put through ; however, if this were the case then this should have affected the other test results. Further ASTM testing, along with petrographic analysis of samples, is required to establish a true representative value for this rock.

7.1.4 Discussion of the Canadian Black 4*1 ASTM Test Results

As depicted.in chart 8 the test results show that specimens obtained from the Canadian Black bulk sample fail two of the ASTM minimum test requirements, C97 and C99. It is speculated that due to the location where the test block was extracted - being a surficial sample, there may have been some induced micro fracturing caused by exfoliation and weathering. The extensive weathering horizon encountered while extracting the test block suggested the rock has a fairly high porosity, this was confirmed by the test results of ASTM C97. This high porosity may also indicate potential competency and premature weathering problems.

The low modulous of rupture suggests a weakness in the grain or crystal structure, confirmation of this microfracturing was obtained in the petrographic analysis of other specimens.

Additional samples should be taken from variable depths and studied. The results should be compared to establish if these physical properties are inherent throughout the rock, also further ASTM testing, along with petrographic analysis of the failed samples, is required to establish a true representative values for this rock.

7.2 PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Petrographic examinations of samples obtained from the Canadian Red and Canadian Black ttl Properties were performed by Dr. Ivan Watkins of St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud Minnesota. In addition samples obtained from fracture planes in the Canadian Black ttl were sent into the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines for identification. The following are briefs prepared by Dr. Watkins:

7.2.1 Canadian Red

If this were an igneous rock it would be called a syenite because of its composition. However, there are two different potassium feldspars (K-spars) present. One is relatively clear while the other is filled with specs of hematite and other minerals too small to be identified. The poikilitic K-spar was produced in a metamorphic event that included abundant potassium metasomatism, shearing of the country rock, and a flux of oxygen containing water which changed some of the minerals into hematite and other minerals not immediately obvious. The microfractures produced are now healed with quartz, hematite, biotite, and metamorphic K-spar.

The amphiboles, mostly hornblende, have many inclusions and fractures. Nearly all show breakage and recrystallization along the edges. The amphiboles were produced in a metamorphic where they grew around other minerals present in the rock. Later they were sheared but nearly all of the microfractures are healed with hematite, biotite and metamorphic K-spar. Some crystals were rolled until they had a nearly round cross section but had

tt microcrystals all along the edges.

Since it is a metamorphic rock it could be called a granofels but

I probably more people would know what the rock is if it were called a meta syenite or just a syenite.

Since the microfractures did not allow the epoxy of the thin sections to fill them, they must be filled with the minerals mentioned above and as such should show pretty good strength.

If this were an igneous rock it would be called syenite because of its composition. However the pyroxene that remains shows extensive embayment, conversion to amphibole, filled fractures not parallel to the unfilled fractures, and rotation with subsequent recrystallization into other minerals like amphibole and biotite. The amphibole is also sheared with both filled and unfilled fractures. The poikilitic K-spar has abundant inclusions of plagioclase and magnetite. The plagioclase is mostly clear, the crystals are reasonably uniform and show fewer unfilled fractures than any of the other major minerals.

Since it is a metamorphic rock it could be called a granofels but probably more people would know what the rock is if it were called a meta syenite or just a syenite.

There were at least two shearing events, perhaps closely spaced in time but not necessarily so. During the first event there was a flux of water that had little oxygen in it. That allowed the metamorphic changes to take place, like the conversion of pyroxene to amphibole and filling of the fractures with other minerals. The second shear did not have much water fluxing through since the microfractures were not healed. It was difficult to determine if any new minerals had been produced at that time. Since the microfractures did allow the epoxy of the thin sections to fill them, they were not filled with minerals carried by the flux of water. This rock should not show good strength characteristics.

The relatively high percentage of pyroxene could be of some concern especially with relationship to accelerated weathering, being that it is less stable than hornblende and it has the potential to be more susceptible to atmospheric decomposition. This, in conjunction with a high LOI, unfilled secondary microfractures and a fairly high absorption suggest that this stone would potentially be more susceptible to accelerated weathering - chemical decomposition.

A sample of a black fine grained mineral, obtained from core samples from Cold Springs' drilling program, was submitted to the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) for identification. The sample was representative of material which seemed to line and fill fracture planes that occurred with great frequency throughout the Canadian Black Property, this will be discussed in further detail in the Diamond Drilling and Ground Probing Radar sections. The following is a transcript of a report received from Chriss Riddle, Chief Analyst and Hugh de Souza, mineralogist of the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines:

One sample was submitted for identification of a black, vitreous mineral .

Optical examination of the mineral showed it to be vitreous, blue-black in colour, and with conchoidal fracture - typical of glassy material. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the mineral was, indeed, glass.

7.3 CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

A chemical (whole rock) analysis was performed by Bondar Clegg 8* Company of Ottawa, Ontario, on seven samples form the Canadian Black #1 Property and one from the Canadian Red Property. The following is a representation of the results obtained:

7.3.2 ASSAYS

Disseminated sulfides were observed in various sections of the drill core samples obtained from both Canadian Black Properties. In view of this two samples were taken from sections of what appeared to have the highest concentration of sulfides. The following is the assay report from Bondar - Clegg St Company for submitted samples:

From these assays it appears that the only showing that had a small kick was obtained from the silver assay, all others appear to be showings just above the detection level.

7.4 WEATHERING EVALUATION

Concerns over the ability of a new source of building stone to withstand harsh atmospheric weathering conditions always deserves consideration. In the case of the Marathon Properties this was of foremast concern, especially for the Black Properties, since the preliminary evaluations indicated that the black syenite appeared to be especially susceptible to chemical alteration and disintegration.

Based on the initial observations of the exposed outcrops with relation to the surficial weathering, which displayed an alteration of a light coloured buff, and the weathered horizon, which displayed interstitial iron staining throughout the first 12 to 18 inches, the concerns over the potential for accelerated weathering on both structural and monumental stock appeared to be justified.

Further investigation provided more evidence towards the possibility of potential weathering problems. The relatively high percentage of pyroxene could be of some concern especially with relationship to accelerated weathering, being that it is less stable than hornblende and it has the potential to be more susceptible to atmospheric decomposition. This, in conjunction with a high LOI, from the whole rock analysis, the unfilled secondary microfractures, obtained from petrographic observations and a fairly high absorption, obtained in the ASTM test, suggest that this black syenite would potentially be more susceptible to accelerated weathering - chemical decomposition.

l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

In order to further substantiate these findings on site examinations of locations which have been noted for using stone from past producing quarries from the Marathon area were visited.

7.4.1 Monuments

Monuments fabricated with stone from the Marathon area can be observed in a central grave yard in the Thunder Bay area. Both red and black examples of this syenite exhibited variable degrees of weathering, with the most severe forms of alteration J kaolinization being exhibited by the black. Interstitial weathering between the feldspar grains is evident in Photos 5 through 8.

Although not as striking, the evidence of chemical alteration was also viewed in monuments made of the red syenite, Photos 9 & 10 are examples of this weathering.

7.4.2 Structural

Structural applications of the red syenite were not found; however, a good example of the use of the black syenite was observed at College and Young Streets in Toronto. The College Park building has the black syenite used as a trimming around the base of this structure. T ne examination of this stone was accomplished by a visual inspection, no samples could be obtained to conduct further analytical work.

Based on the visual inspection of this black syenite it is speculated that the observed weathering is a deep chemical alteration of the plagioclase feldspars and/or pyroxenes and not just surficial blemishing. No association could be established to tie in the weathered features with other extraneous causes, it appeared that the weathered features had no structural association nor did they occur with any predictability or apparent reason. Photos 11 to 14 show the high degree of this chemical alteration.

In conclusion the Canadian Black syenite, investigated in this report, should be regarded as an unstable dimension stone of poor quality which is highly susceptible to rapid chemical alteration.

7.5 SAMPLE AND TILE FABRICATION

Evaluation of a stones workability is critical when investigating a new source of material, in view of this the tests blocks obtained from the Marathon Properties were subjected to all the production stages that normally would be expected.

the pyroxenes and amphiboles. Overall the finished samples accepted a high polish and had a good homogeneous appearance. The colour when polished ia an attractive black-green. Some concern was expressed over the micro-fracturing and iron stained seams which were quite visibleafter polishing. It is, however, speculated that these negative physical characteristics may be aresult of surface weathering.

7.5.4 Tile Production

Canadian Black:

A total of 96 sq.ft. of the produced 264 sq.ft. were used in the fabrication of l sq.ft. tiles, a total of 84 tiles were produced from this process. Tile production included the samples being blunted, gauged, and jointed.

Observations: There were no observed associated problems with this process. The black-green colour makes for an exceptionally attractive tile.

Canadian Red:

A total of 128 sq.ft. of the produced 344 sq.ft. were used in the fabrication of l sq.ft. tiles, a total of 114 tiles were produced from this process. Tile production included the samples being blunted, gauged, and jointed.

Observations: There were no observed associated problems with this process. The orange-red colour makes for an exceptionally attractive tile.

7.6 MONUMENT FABRICATION

In order to obtain an appreciation as to the true potential of a stone's possible use in the monumental markets it is necessary to fabricate mock up dies to evaluate the overall esthetic appeal. In conjunction with this it is also necessary to conduct polishing tests and sand blasting tests to evaluate the contrast between the two and also the stones ability to be worked must carefully be examined, ie the ability to maintain crisp edges on lettering or other carvings. The following is a review of work performed on both the red and black.

7.6.1 Canadian Red Die

A 4-0 X 2-06 X 2-0 all polished, serp top, no tapered ends, die with a 5-0 X 6-O X 1-0 all polished base was produced from the bulk sample obtained from the Canadian Red Property, (Photo 15).

From the view point of a monumental stone the colour is very exciting; however, there is concern about how the soft black spots (hornblende) will react to lettering and designs when sandblasted into the surface. Minor complications encountered during these tests bring to question the long term stability of this type of workings. In addition the overall contrast between polished surfaces and sand blasted was considered fair. The absolute definition is somewhat lacking.

7.6.2 Canadian Black Die

A 4-0 X 2-06 X 2-0 polished 3, flat top, no tapered ends, die with a 5-0 X 6-0 X 1-0 all polished base was produced from the bulk sample obtained from the Canadian Black #1 Property, (Photo 16) .

From the view point of a monumental stone the colour is very exciting; however, there is a substantial amount of microfracturing and pitting which will be detrimental in some applications. Minor complications encountered during the engraving, sandblasting tests bring to question the long-term stability and the ability of this stone to accept detail workings. The overall contrast is fair, there appears to be a lack of a good definition between the polished portions and the sand blasted areas. In view of this one would have to consider this rock to be unfavourable for sand blasting. Further testing would be required to obtain a true representation of the stones workability.

7.7 CONTRAST EVALUATIONS

Canadian Black:

A total of 10 sq.ft. of the produced 264 sq.ft. were used in the contrast evaluations. Designs and lettering were sandblasted into the stone so that the contrast between a polished surface and the carved or rough surface could be assessed.

Observations: The black-green colour makes for anexceptionally attractive monument, however, there was not a distinguishing offset with respect to contrast, the carved or sandblasted areas retained a fairly dark colouration. In view of this the overall appearance of the tested sample was not overly striking.

Canadian Red:

A total of 10 sq.ft. of the produced 344 sq.ft. were used in the contrast evaluations. Designs and lettering were sandblasted into the stone so that the contrast between a polished surface and the carved or rough surface could be assessed.

respect to contrast, the carved or sandblasted areas retained a close association to the colouration of the polished surface. In view of this the overall appearance of the tested sample was not overly striking.

B. MARKET STUDY

B.I MARKET SURVEY AND EVALUATION

A total of 128 granite samples, consisting of 32 red and 32 black polished and 32 red and 32 black thermal finished - all of the dimensions of 06" X 08" X 1/2", were produced for distribution amongst leading architectural firms which deal with Cold Spring Granite. Accompanying the samples was a questioner requesting the firms to respond with their overall impression with regards to the esthetic appeal of the samples, the projected areas of usage and their views on the overall market acceptance of the red and black syenites.

The response received from the participating firms were overwhelming, all expressed that both the red and black syenites were extremely interesting and should make a welcome addition to the granites currently offered by Cold Spring. In view of the favourable responses it was decided by the management to investigate the properties further.

8.2 TRANSPORTATION STUDY

A transportation study was commissioned by Cold Spring Granite to evaluate the various means of transportation which could be utilized to ship rough stock quarried at the Marathon Properties to Cold Spring Granite, located in Cold Spring Minnesota. The study considered four possible avenues to accomplish this, the findings of this report are as follows:

i - Direct Truck from Marathon, Ont. to Cold Spring,Mn. utilizing "B Train" trailer equipment. The advantage of using this type of equipment allows transporting two (2) blocks per truckload from Marathon to Grand Portage, Mn., detaching and transporting one block at a time per train trailer to Cold Spring Mn. Maximum gross weight in Ontario allowed is 140,000 Ibs. on a tandem tractor, 3 axle semi trailer, tandem semi trailer, 8 axles B trains deck equipment. In the State of Minnesota the maximum truckload gross weight is between 42,000 Ibs. to 45,000 Ibs.

It is however recommended that contact be made with a U.S. Customs Broker or U.S. Customs officials to obtain an official ruling to confirm the application of duty.

On December i, 1986 U.S. Customs began collecting a "user Fee" for processing merchandise entries. The fee is 0.17'/. (Oct. l, 1987) of the appraised value for each formal entry of merchandise and applies on both dutiable and duty free goods.

8.2.11 U.S.A. and Canadian Size and Weight Limits for Commercial Vehicles

Appendix VII and VIII shows the U.S. summary of Size and Weight Limits by State. Generally, as the listing indicates, most States provide for a maximum allowable Gross Weight on interstate highways of 80,000 Ibs. including Minnesota. Therefore after deducting the weight of the tractor and trailer the maximum load capacity in weight averages between 42,000 and 45,000 Ibs. per truckload on tandem axle equipment.

The Canadian Size and Weight requirements vary by Province and equipment as illustrated ex. tandem tractor, 3 axle semitrailer, tandem semitrailer: 8 axle-B train; maximum gross weight allowable 140,000 Ibs.

8.2.12 Exchange Rate/Currency Surcharge

The exchange rates and currency surcharges are variable. The exchange rate was 1.21 7. and the currency surcharge was 1.15 7. at the time of this study. The exchange rate is set daily and the surcharge is set on the 1st and 15th of each month. It is important to determine which U.S. rates are subject to the exchange or surcharge when carriers are quoting rates.

8.2.13 Transportation Rate and Service Negotiations

Freight rate negotiations are a vital aspect of good effective distribution management. Carriers are always interested in securing and retaining business, especially if there are steady volumes and so, will often negotiate the level of rates required to move the goods for the services they offer.

In order for the shipper to be aware of this negotiation process, we have included with this report in Appendix IX a copy of the Ministry of Transportation and Communication Physical Distribution Newsletter of April/May/June, 1985 outlining some of the principles of carrier negotiation.

B.2.14 Carrier Discounts/Incentives

Some carriers offer discounts of varying amounts of up to 35 V. on shipments moving in various traffic lanes and in some cases on all shipments. The Shipper must request these discounts in order to obtain reduced rates and may be required to meet certain criteria such as volume commitment.

8.2.15 Rail Freight Negotiations

The aforementioned Rail rates quoted by CPR are published tariff rates. Generally freight does not move under published tariff rates because Railways as with highway carriers are open to negotiating freight rates and services. Railways are interested in securing new business as long as there is a large steady annual volume or competition from another railroad or from the truckers.

Railways are willing to negotiate either "Agreed Charge" or a "Confidential Contract" at lower freight rates or per car charges than the published tariff rates. Negotiating becomes an important element in the distribution of goods since the majority of volume traffic moves on agreed charges or confidential contracts.

The new National Transportation Act 1987 effective January 1st, 1988 allows confidential contracts between railway and shipper and provides for new provisions for a shipper who may be captive to one railroad. This new provision is called an expanded interswitching. These new provisions are for the purpose of providing competition to insure the most competitive freight rates and services available to the shipper.

8.2.16 Transportation Conclusion

The following study on shipping options available from the Marathon area gives an indication as to what possibilities and combinations thereof, may be used to facilitate the shipping of stone to Cold Spring. In order to develop this information, so as to establish preferred methods and routings, the properties currently under investigation would have to be proven.

9. EMPLOYMENT FORECAST and HOUSING

Essentially, Marathon is in the unique situation of having a population of highly skilled workers which are predominantly employed at the Kraft Pulp Mill and the three local gold mines. It is reported by Employment Canada and the Economic Development Department for Marathon that the average starting salaries which may be anticipated is fairly high, reported on the average of * 15.00 per hour for a general labourer.

In comparison the Kraft Pulp Mill's average wage is * 16.00 /hour and ranges between * 14.00/hour to * 19.00/hour. The mines average wage at base,is comparable to that of the Paper Industry. However, because of incentive programs and bonus mining, the average mining wage ranges from * 40,000 to S 60,000 per annum.

In view of this recent boom experienced by Marathon the unemployment figures for the area are extremely low, quoted from Employment Canada as 0.5X. These low unemployment figures in conjunction with the high cost of living present some major concerns, since housing costs are on the average of 100,000 dollars plus and there's a zero occupancy rate for the few rental units.

These considerations and potential problems, when totaled up and viewed with a common denominator can be summed up with the answer to one question. Does Cold Spring have the ability to attract a skilled steady work force, given the type of work that quarrying has to offer and given the anticipated associated costs that a potential worker can expect in this location? Based on this, it is therefore anticipated that a high turn over can be expected for these operations - developing a strong permanent work force will be costly and difficult.

1O. SURFACE RIGHTS

According to the Ontario Mining Act, in order to bring claims to lease a Surface Rights Holder must sign a "Certificate of Compensation". There are a total of 10 claims in the Canadian Black #1 Property which are subject to this section of the Mining Act. The surface rights to the claims in question are held by the Township of Marathon. Refer to Figure 8 for the placement of

these claims. Although this problem is not considered insurmountable it still must be dealt with in order to proceed with any exploration or more importantly, to bring these claims to lease. An agreement would therefore have to be reached with the Marathon Town Council.

11. RECOMMENDATIONS k CONCLUSIONS

As stated in the introduction, this evaluation project focused on three target areas which have been referred to in this report as: Sitf? l, the Canadian Red Property, located in Coldwell Township and Sites 2 fc 3, the Canadian Black Properties l 8? 2, located in McCoy St P ic Townships and O'Neill fc Pic Townships respectively.

Cold Spring Granite undertook an extensive evaluation program, which examined a wide range of factors which directly contributed to the assessment of the potential viability of the prospects in question. The findings obtained from all three of the main categories discussed in this report, Field Studies, Lab Investigations and Market Studies, had a direct contribution on the finial decision reached by the management of Cold Spring.

11.1 Canadian Black #1 fc #2 Properties

In conclusion, it is the opinion of Cold Spring Granite, that the investigated areas, in the Canadian Black 81 fc #2 Properties show no economic potential for large scale quarrying operations. This opinion is founded upon the unfavourable results obtained from the conducted surveys, namely the ground probing radar, diamond drilling, petrographic analysis, weathering evaluation and potential transportation and employment problems. It is therefore recommended that all investigations and work be suspended and the original claims transferred back to Mr. David Petrunka as per conditions specified in the formal working option agreement between him and Cold Spring Granite.

11.2 Canadian Red Property

In conclusion, it is the opinion of Cold Spring Granite, that the investigated areas, in the Canadian Red Property show no economic potential for large scale quarrying operations. This opinion is founded upon the unfavourable results obtained from the conducted surveys, namely the ground probing radar, diamond drilling, and potential transportation and employment problems. It is therefore recommended that all investigations and work be suspended and the original claims transferred back to Mr. David Petrunka as per conditions specified in the formal working option agreement between him and Cold Spring Granite.

Tt/g- Barge TransportationAdvantagesLower CostCargo bargee are inherently more cost effective than other modes of land transportation and In some cases large steamships. In calculating overall transportation cost Including loading and unloading facilities the very modest port requirement (12 ft draft) for barges Is very favorable.

Oversize - Overweight ObjectsMachinery, structural components, and construction materials of almost any length, size, or shape and single Item loads up to 3000 tons are acceptable for barge transport. Machinery and structures can be shipped fully assembled.

Reduce InventoryBarge Transport can be scheduled to match demand In 1000 to 7000 ton load capacities where as conventional bulk transportation by water requires the purchase of an entire shipload (10,000 - 30,000 tons) at one time, tying up valuable storage space and hurting cash.f low.

Self Load-UnloadingBarges can be 'dropped 1 and unloaded by the customer as material Is used or cargo can be loaded and discharged by a barge mounted crane.

Service On Great Lakes To AnywhereConnection can be made from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi Inland waterways and to any ocean port through the Seaway system.

Inland DeliveryFor shippers not on the water pick up and delivery can be arranged from the nearest port.

Service For ContractorsPreassembled bridges, culverts, oversize steel, pipe, pilings, sand, gravel, and large rock can be delivered by barge. Large construction cranes, cement plants, and other machinery can be .shipped fully assembled. In addition, our powerful tugs can deliver dredges and other pieces of floating equipment.

Ministry of Transportation and Communications PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTIO

SUCCESS IN EXPORTING

Any prospective purchaser of Ontario's goods and products is interested in a few key things. What will the product cost? Can it be delivered when required?

Many Ontario firms are new to the export market and several are attempting to export their goods for the first time. Naturally, the U.S. market is the most popular export target. To export successfully to the U.S., or anywhere else for that matter, depends upon several critical factors: the quality of entrepreneurship, labour relations, production efficiency, marketing effectiveness, price competition, the creation of products which export markets demand and above all the ease with which prospective customers can place orders and receive delivery.

Firms successful in the local market are often confused by the poor reception of their products in the U.S. market, even though these products have been viewed with enthus iasm at trade shows. The fact that orders do not materialize can often be traced to the terms of sale under which the products are offered to prospective buyers.

Generally, Canadian firms who sell their products on an P.O.B. (Free On Board) delivered or C.l.F. (Cost Insurance and Freight) destination basis, have a greater degree of success in selling their goods internationally, particularly to potential customers in the United States. American custom ers, when faced with the choice of purchasing products from a domestic (U.S.) source or buying the same product on an F.O.B. Canadian origin basis, will lean strongly toward their own domestic supplier in the majority of cases. It has been our observation that American buyers are not prepared to invest the extra time required to determine transportation rates from Ontario origins, nor do they want to become involved in U.S. customs duty calculations, payment or clearance procedures.

Simply stated, the easier that a Canadian seller makes it for the prospective buyer, the greater his degree of success in selling his product. By quoting a delivered price, the seller enables the buyer to know his exact cost. He has no other calculations to make. He does not have to fear unknown charges or complications with U.S. customs. The buyer then has the opportunity to compare the Ontario product directly with the domestic U.S. product.

Ths first step in any sale is receiving initial consideration in the selection process. Quoting on a delivered basis allows the Ontario seller to reach this stage without having his product being arbitrarily dismissed because of terms of sale that are perceived to be costly and complicated.

Make it easy for potential buyers. Eliminate those unnec essary reasons which allow the buyer to say no before your

product is given due consideration. Ontario firms make quality products. Make sure they have an opportunity to be sold in foreign markets. Quote F.O.B. delivered or C.l.F. destination.

TRADE TERMS

When two parties reach agreement with respect to a sales transaction, they are deemed to have consummated a sales contract. That is, when a buyer accepts the terms and conditions offered by the seller or when a seller accepts the terms and conditions offered by a buyer, a legally binding contract is deemed to have come into being.

In today's marketplace however, very few of these contracts specifically address all of the various rights and obligations of the parties to the agreement. Instead most sales contracts simply indicate the quantity of goods ordered, the price that will be paid for the goods, the time frame within which the goods must be delivered and the place where the delivery of the goods will take place.

Instead of setting out in detail who will pay for the freight, who will bear the cost of the freight, where legal title to the goods will pass, etc., most buyers and sellers in today's marketplace simply incorporate a "trade term" into their contract.

A trade term is an abbreviated standardized expression of the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. Each term has a different meaning insofar as the division of risks, costs and responsibilities is concerned. These divisions range from situations wherein the seller bears virtually all of the risks, costs and responsibilities to the other extreme wherein the buyer bears virtually all of the risks, costs and responsibilities.

The most commonly used "trade term" in Canadian and Canadian/American trade is F.O.B. The abbreviation F.O.B. stands for Free on Board and it implies loading on some form of conveyance. By itself however, F.O.B. is totally meaningless. Without any succeeding related direction, F.O.B. does not specify who will pay the freight charges, it does not define who will bear the freight charges, it does not name where title to the goods will pass and it does not signify who will file a claim for loss and for damage should the need arise.

To have meaning, the abbreviation F.O.B. must be followed by specific direction as to where title and control of the goods will pass to the buyer, such as "F.O.B. Origin" or "F.O.B. Destination", and the specified direction must always be followed by a clear indication as to whether the freight charges are to be "prepaid" or "collect" and in some cases, as to whether the freight charges are to be "charged back" or "allowed".

Ministry of Transportation and Communications

April/May/Jun* 1985

PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTIO NEWSLETTER

Never before have Ontario firms faced more competition in selling their goods in the North American market. As trade barriers fall, new competition from industrial and third world countries has forced firms to scrutinize all Cost components of their selling price including transportation. This often results in complaints to the Ministry about the high level of freight rates to U.S. markets. Some people mistakenly believe that freight rates in Ontario are set or controlled by the government. This is not so. Transport ation price* are set in the marketplace.

TRANSPORTATION RATE AND SERVICE NEGOTIATIONS

The purpose of this article is to review a numberof important principles of negotiation as they apply to freight transporta tion. In Ontario, shippers and carriers are free to negotiate agreements that best suit their respective needs. Rate levels are also totally open to negotiation, the only requirement being that the rates established for highway carriage must be published in tariff form and filed with the Ontario Highway Transport Board. The importance of this require ment will be dealt with further on in this article. At this stage, however, we will focus on those points that contri bute to successful negotiating.

Be Prepared

Without qualification, success in negotiations depends heavily upon careful and thorough preparation before sitting down with a carrier. If preparation is inadequate or non- existant, the negotiator will never know how well he actually did in driving a bargain with the carrier. After all is said and done, there remains no benchmark or standard against which the outcome can be measured.

Define Objectives

The first task in preparing for freight negotiations is to clearly define your company's objectives. This will enable you to consider the relative importance of rates and service. Too often the predominating consideration is the price of transportation. The objective is to balance the service level demanded by the firm and its customers and the cost of obtaining that services. For example, the negotiator may require the carrier to provide special equipment on short notice pick-ups. It may appear obvious but the shipper must bear in mind that special service arrangements impact directly on a carrier's costs. Therefore the shipper must be prepared to pay a fair price for services demanded. Always remember that the carrier is in business as well.

The problem of course is to determine what constitutes a fair price for service. It is certain that the shipper and carrier will have different ideas in this regard. Narrowing that difference is what negotiating is all about. That is what we will address now.

The Carrier Needs Information

If you expect carriers to provide realistic bids to haul your traffic then it is in your best interests to give them all pertinent information. Specifically the carrier must know:

(1) How often he must visit your plant site, e.g., daily.

(2) If there are special time slots that he must fit into.

(3) Annual shipping volumes, by destination if practical.

(4) Seasonal fluctuations in volumes or requirements.

(5) Typical individual shipment size.

(6) Special equipment requirements, if any.

(7) Special service requirements, If any.

e.g., - next day delivery- expedited service-i special handling

Shippers must appreciate that a carrier can only provide a realistic quote if he can cost out the demands that will be placed on his company. He must be able to predetermine how he will integrate your traffic into his overall system. How good a fit between your distribution needs and the carrier's traffic needs should determine how good a deal is possible. Therefore, providing accurate information to the carrier does indeed serve the shipper's interests.

Preparing Your Position

A basic principal of negotiating Is that It is better to over rather than under-prepare. Naturally any proposal must fall within the bounds of reality. Sound preparation will enable you to more closely estimate what the limits are. In this regard, try to develop an idea of what the carrier will propose initially, realizing full well that this becomes your worst case scenario. Also decide what is the least you are willing to settle for and build a wish list. Identify where you are flexible and those items which you will use as bargaining chips. Decide on the items that are tradeable before sitting down across the table.

Effective negotiating depends upon thorough preparation. Invest the effort and your company will benefit enormously.

The Details

Earlier we mentioned that it Is important to ensure that the carrier publish and file the new rates to which you have agreed. If the carrier does not do this then he is legally bound to charge whatever the existing published rate is. It is likely higher than the rate you negotiated.

Total associated production costs * 2028.00 CDN. ( based on 13.OO per sq. f t.)

Observations: Due to the absence of quartz this sample was cut with great ease. The samples, cut from the block, held together quite well with few problems during this phase of evaluation.

Polishinq

Canadian Black:

A total of 156 sq.ft. were used in the polishing evaluations for this sample.

Total sq.ft. applied towards assessment credit - 156 sq.ft.

Total associated production costs * 1248.OO CDN. ( based on * 8.00 per sq. ft.)

Observations: Numerous passes were required for the polishing phase to determine the optimum parameters and in order to obtain a reasonable polish. Despite these attempts minor pitting was observed in all processed samples. This was caused by the apparent plucking of the mafic minerals, namely

- l -the pyroxenes and amphiboles. Overall the finished samples accepted a high polish and had a good homogeneous appearai.ce. The colour when polished ia an attractive black-green. Some concern was expressed over the microfracturing and iron stained seams which were quite visible after polishing. It is, however, speculated that these negative physical characteristics may be a result of surface weathering.

Canadian Red:

A total of 140 sq.ft. were used in the polishing evaluation for this sample.

Total sq.ft. applied towards assessment credit - 140 sq.ft.

Total associated production costs * 1120.00 CDN. ( based on 4 8.00 per sq. ft.)

Observations: Numerous passes were required for the polishing phase to determine the optimum parameters and in order to obtain a reasonable polish. Despite these attempts minor pitting was observed in all processed samples. This'was caused by the apparent plucking of the mafic minerals, namely the amphiboles. Overall the finished samples accepted a high polish and had a good homogeneous appearance. The colour when polished is an attractive orange-red.

Site Inspection of the McCoy Township claims (Pukaskwa Green/Black f Superior Green. Boreal Green/Black SpruceV

Inspection of claims currently held by Cold Spring indicated that the northeastern segment of claims - which hosts the green black unit - can be divided into three zones. These zones are based upon pure conjecture at this time; however, hypothetically it is possible, more field work is required in order to delineate them. These zones labeled l, 2, 3, are distributed in the form of gradational contacts/segregation - the black greenish brown at Angler (3), the coarser grained green/black syenite with mafic (hornblende/pyroxene) clusters - concentrations (2), and pegmatitic areas and the medium grained equigranular green black unit/zone (1).

It is difficult to establish any true similarities or dif ferences in these units due to the extensive depth of sur face weathering. These zones are and have been established based on observation^, made on weathered surfaces and the ex posures at the old Angler quarry and the area where the test block was removed.

Intense pervasive weathering seems to fade after the initial cap rock (10" or so) is removed - stone appears more com petent - tighter grained. Micro fracturing and possible sheeting may be a result of isostatic rebounding, a post glacial effect, or simply a result of a surface sample.

Access to Zones l and 2 is excellent, open workable natural flat land lends itself to quick and easy quarry development. A natural lift can be attacked at the north end of Zone l, where the test block was removed. (Concerns of river - water buffer zone).

Due to the massiveness of Zone l it was difficult to obtain a good clean, fresh sample. It was therefore decided that a block would be worked off the northern part of the Claim 1106799 to obtain an indication as to the depth and extent of weathering. After removal, and upon inspection of this first blocks' fresh face, it was determined to be sound enough to obtain some test slabs and run ASTM tests. It is purely speculative that the stones quality and fractures will decrease as you work into the main body, however, preliminary observations indicate this. Core samples should give additional information to prove or disapprove this.
