    Audit Committee Disclosure

    The Corporations audit committee is composed of three directors: Maurice Stekel (Chair), Jim Voisin and Neil Novak. Two of the three members of the audit committee (Messrs. Stekel and Novak) may be considered to beindependent and all are financially literate (as determined under Multilateral Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees(MI 52-110 )). Mr. Voisin is President of a consulting company that provides investor relations services andMessrs. Stekel and Novak have acted as directors and/or audit committee members of a number of public issuers inthe past and as such each has obtained experience in performing his responsibilities as a member of theCorporations audit committee. As well, each of the audit committee members owns his own business and in suchcapacity has experience in the preparation, analysis and/or evaluation of financial statements generally and anunderstanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Given the scope and nature of theCorporations business, its financial statements and the accounting issues arising therefrom are relativelyuncomplicated. Based on the foregoing, it is the Boards conclusion that each of the members of the auditcommittee has an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Corporation to prepare its financialstatements, the ability to assess the general application of such accounting principles in connection with theaccounting for estimates, accruals and reserves and experience in evaluating financial statements that present a

    breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporations financial statements.

    The charter of the Corporations audit committee is set out in Appendix I to this Circular.

    The Corporation is considered to be a venture issuer for the purposes of MI 52-110 and as such is exempt from therequirements of Parts 3 ( Composition of the Audit Committee ) and 5 ( Reporting Obligations ) of MI 52-110.

    The following table sets out the aggregate fees billed by the Corporations external auditors in each of the last twofiscal years for the category of fees described.

    Since the commencement of the Corporations most recently completed financial year, there has not been arecommendation of the audit committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor which was not adopted bythe Corporations Board of Directors.

    Since the commencement of the Corporations most recently completed financial year, the Corporation has notrelied on the exemption in Section 2.4 ( De Minimus Non-Audit Services ) of MI 52-110, or an exemption from MI52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 ( Exemptions ) of MI 52-110.

    Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-third of one Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole Common Share purchasewarrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.03 per Common Share until December 30,2006.

As a consequence, the participation of Neil Novak and

    Norman Brewster in the Offering constituted a "related party transaction" that was subject to Rule 61-501.

    As the Offering included a "flow-through" component and therefore had to close on or before December 31, 2005, thedirectors of the Corporation made the decision to close the Offering on December 30, 2005, which was less than 21days following the date of the initial decision of the Board to proceed with the Offering, which was December 30,2006. The securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period, until May 1, 2006.

    The Corporation relied on the exemptions under subsections 5.5(2) and 5.7(2) of Rule 61-501 to exempt it fromobtaining a formal valuation of the Offering and minority shareholder approval for the Offering on the basis that neither the fair market value of the Units or the consideration therefor, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeded themarket capitalization of the Corporation on the date that the Offering was agreed upon. The aggregate participation of

    Neil Novak and Norman Brewster in the Offering was less than 7% of the market capitalization of the Corporation atthe time the Offering was agreed upon.

    At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass a resolution approving theAcquisition. Following the Acquisition, the Corporation proposes to consolidate the Common Shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every five pre-consolidation Common Shares and change the name of theCorporation from "Blue Power Energy Corporation" to "Cadillac Ventures Inc.", or such other name as may beapproved by the Board and applicable regulatory authorities. Details of the foregoing consolidation and name changefollow under the headings " Special Business -- Approval of Share Consolidation " and " Special Business -- Approval of Change of Name ", respectively.

    Background to the Acquisition

    The Corporation was formed on February 19, 1996 under the laws of the Province of Ontario by the amalgamation of Blue Power Energy Corporation, 1155698 Ontario Inc. and 1155697 Ontario Inc. The Corporation currently has nooperating assets and has been inactive for the past several years following the sale of an interest in an oil and gas

    property in 2000. Since then, the Corporation has been seeking a new business opportunity while maintaining itsreporting issuer status in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. The Common Shares are traded on the CanadianUnlisted Board (CUB) over-the-counter system under the symbol BLU.

    Chilly-Bin is a privately-owned Ontario corporation that owns a property known as "The New Alger Property"comprising Mining Concession CM0240PTA in the Township of Cadillac registration division of Abitibi Provinceof Quebec together with the related Surface Rights (the " New Alger Property "). A detailed description of the NewAlger Property follows under the heading " Description of the New Alger Property ".

    Chilly-Bin acquired the New Alger Property from Alfer Inc. pursuant to an agreement of purchase and sale datedJanuary 31, 2005 in exchange for 5,000,000 Chilly-Bin Shares. Alfer Inc. also retained a 1% net smelter returns

    production royalty from the sale of all minerals produced from the New Alger Property. No work has been done on the New Alger Property to date by Chilly-Bin.

    On November 16, 2005, Chilly-Bin issued 20,000,000 Chilly-Bin Shares to Allan Ringler Services Inc., ElenEnterprises (Ontario) Inc., George Duguay Services Inc., Kalwea Financial Corp., Peter Miller, Nominex Ltd., and JimVoisin in satisfaction of funds advanced by them, which totalled in the aggregate $47,980, which represents aneffective subscription price of $0.0024 per share.

    Reasons for the Acquisition

    Following the reconstitution of the Board on November 1, 2005, the Board decided to seek business opportunities inthe mineral exploration sector. The Board believes that the resource sector offers sound opportunities for a junior

    public company seeking to reactivate. Canadian capital markets are receptive to resource enterprises andcommodity prices have improved over the last several years. In anticipation of the Corporation's acquisition of Canadian mineral properties, the Board approved the flow-through share Offering in December, 2005 (see " Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions " above). Following the closing of the Offering, the acquisition of the

    New Alger Property, through Chilly-Bin, was presented to the Board.

    As Messrs Voisin and Novak are beneficial shareholders of Chilly-Bin, the disinterested directors of the Board

    formed an ad hoc committee (the " Committee ") comprised of Messrs. Wilton, Iscove and Stekel to review theAcquisition. The Committee performed its due diligence on the New Alger Property, including a review of theTechnical Report (as defined below), and unanimously determined that the Acquisition is in the best interests of theCorporation. The Committee arrived at its determination after considering a number of factors, including the

    proposed share exchange ratio for the Acquisition (which the Committee members believe is fair taking into accountthe respective assets of the Corporation and of Chilly-Bin) as well as the following:

    (a) the Corporation currently has no material assets, no source of funding and no prospects;

  • 8/14/2019 Ultramafic Volcanics Sedimentary Rock Belt

    14/117

    57741.v11 12

    (b) it is unlikely that the Corporation will be able to obtain any type of additional financing without amineral property;

    (c) the Acquisition should provide an opportunity for the revival of the business of the Corporationand permit it to become actively involved in the mineral exploration industry and permit theCorporation to access additional funding; and

    (d) the Committee believes that the exchange of Common Shares for Chilly-Bin Shares on the basisof one-for-one represents fair value for the Common Shares and that the Acquisition is fair toShareholders from a financial point of view;

    In concluding that the Acquisition is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Corporation and in recommending thatthe Shareholders vote in favour of the Acquisition, the Committee did not assign any relative or specific weight tothe foregoing factors that were considered, and individual Committee members may have given differing weight todifferent factors. The Committee members are, however, unanimous in their recommendation that the Shareholdersvote in favour of the Acquisition.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW ALGER PROPERTY

    The following information relating to the Project has been derived, except where noted, and in some cases extractedfrom a technical report entitled "Technical Report on the New Alger Property Mining Concession CM-0240-PTA,Cadillac Township, Quebec" (the " Technical Report ") prepared by Deep Search Exploration Technologies Inc.dated February 1, 2006. Reference is made to the Technical Report for a complete description of the New Alger Property and the maps, photographs and references contained in the Technical Report. Copies of the foregoing may

    be examined at the offices of Macleod Dixon LLP, 100 Wellington Street West, Suite 500, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1H1, during normal business hours and is available on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval("SEDAR ") at www.sedar.com.

    The Qualified Person, as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Minerals Projects ("NI 43-101 "), who prepared the Technical Report, was Howard Lahti (Ph.D., P.Geo.). Dr. Lahtiis independent for the purposes of NI 43-101.

    Summary

    Dr. Lahti examined old reports of the previous work history of the New Alger mining concession and assessed thehistorical work done from its discovery in 1924 to the present. The previous mining companies mined the NewAlger Property between 1929-1930, 1935-1939 and 1946-1948. A minimum of 21,740 ounces of gold wasextracted from 175,055 tons of mined ore representing an average recovered grade of 0.123 oz/t. The mine onlyexplored and developed the top 300m of the vein system and not the whole E-W strike of the New Alger Property.From a 2005 Quebec Natural Resources publication (PRO 2005-02) titled "The Deep-seated Gold Potential of theCadillac Mining Camp" it is stated that from recent exploration work i.e. the O'Brien property lying adjacent to the

    New Alger Property and other producing and past producers along the Cadillac Break, there is a very high potentialof finding significant gold mineralization at depth. Note: the past production, grade and other informationcontained in this circular are from historical records and do not meet the NI 43-101 standards.

    About 60% of the ore is free milling gold while the rest is bound in an arsenical sulphide concentrate. Only theupper 300 meters of the east half of the vein system has been exploited. To help evaluate the western part of thesystem 24 A-Series of drill holes were drilled to test the Pich Group south of the Cadillac Break. Erratic goldmineralization was reported over narrow widths. However, few of the drill holes tested the mineralized zone atdepth.

    To further evaluate the gold mineralization potential of the New Alger Property the following recommendations aremade for a Phase 1 work plan:

  • 8/14/2019 Ultramafic Volcanics Sedimentary Rock Belt

    22/117

    57741.v11 20

    (a) Re-establish the old grid by cutting 27 kilometres of line and

    (b) Drill a combination of 10 shallow (200-250m) and 10 deep (450-600m) holes totalling 7500m.

    The estimated budget for this work including supervision of the drilling, reporting, and assaying of samples is$755,000. It is estimated that it would tale about 3 months to complete this phase of work.

    New Alger Property Description and Location

    The New Alger Property consists of a single mining concession (C.M. 240-PTA) immediately east of the Bousquet-Cadillac TWP boundary in the province of Quebec. The concession consists of Blocks 21-35 with an area of 317.2hectares.

    Accessibility, Local Infrastructure, Climate, And Physiography

    The New Alger Property has a very good access with main paved Highway 117 passing just south of the twoabandoned shafts. This highway, which runs from the town of Cadillac, 3 km to the east of the New Alger Property, to Rouyn-Noranda about 45km to the west, bisects the New Alger Property. The New Alger Propertyoccurs within a well established mining camp so has an excellent infrastructure with power lines crossing the NewAlger Property. The area has a well-trained works for in all aspects of exploration, mine construction and mining.The mineral industry in this area is well provided for by companies located in Rouyn-Noranda, Malarctic and ValDOr.

    The New Alger Property is well forested with jack pine, spruce, balsam fir, poplar and birch. The winters are long, November to May and a considerable amount of snowfall can be expected. For short periods the temperature fallsto 40 C. Summers are short, but temperatures in the 5 C to 35 C range can extend well into October and

    November. Most types of exploration can be done throughout the year. The topography has a well-developednetwork of streams with good drainage. Much of the land is higher ground with a variable thickness of till. In theimmediate area north of the shafts an east-west striking stream that has large beaver dams on it causing an extensiveamount of flooding.

    History Of Exploration

    A summary of the previous work and development is presented below. The information was obtained from a reportwritten by B. E. Gorman in 1984 for Sulpetro Minerals Limited. No work was done to verify the historical reservesso they cannot be considered as current reserves. The historical reserves cannot be relied upon and are only used asa guide line.

    1924-1925 The present New Alger Property was first staked by E. J. Thompson following the discovery of a wide

    zone of quartz veining in greywacke 240m south of the present workings. Further exploration led to the discoveryof gold mineralization in the Piche Group volcanic rocks in contact with the Pontiac Group greywacke.

    1925-1926 The Huronian Belt Company sank two exploration shafts: #1 (East) to 35 feet and #2 to a depth of 15feet.

    1927 - The Thompson-Cadillac Mining Corporation was formed and continued shaft sinking. The #2 shaft reached100 feet and the #1 shaft was enlarged to three compartments and deepened to 340 feet.

  • 8/14/2019 Ultramafic Volcanics Sedimentary Rock Belt

    23/117

    57741.v11 21

    1929 - The #1 shaft was deepened to 600 feet, with levels at 150, 300, 450, and 600 feet. On the 150 level, the #1Vein was drifted on for 275 feet, and the #2 Vein for180 feet. On the 300-foot level both the #1 and #2 Veins werefound. A 10-ton Straub mill processed 18 tons of ore with a grade of $9.74 gold. In November of 1928, 22 tonsgrading $7.43 gold was milled. By the spring of 1929 the lower levels were flooding, and the pumping kept themine dewatered to the 300-foot level.

    1933 - Thompson-Cadillac Mining Corporation resumed operations. The #1 shaft was dewatered and re-examined.

    Minor underground development and 877 feet of drilling was carried out.

    1934-1935 The mine was dewatered to the 300-foot level, and later to the 600-foot level during the construction of amill.

    1936 - Lateral development continued to proceed on the 150, 300, and 600-foot levels. On the 150-foot level a driftextending 1000 feet west of the #1 shaft encountered spectacular visible gold. It is reported that 843 troy ounceswere handpicked on the 109E stope. Stopes on the three levels provided enough material for a 75-tpd mill. By late1936 it is reported that the mill was producing 85 tpd averaging $8.00 gold at the mill-head. Total production for the year was 16,346 tons or $123,740 gold (3,535 oz. @ $35/oz.) of which $68,782 was free-milling (1,965 oz. =56%), with the remainder as arsenical sulphide concentrates. This represents a recovered grade of 0.216 oz/ton(7.63 g/t).

    1937 - Production for the year was 38,081 tons yielding 1,730.4 ounces, for a recoverable grade of 0.045 oz/ton(1.56 g/t). The average mill head for the year was $5.39 (0.154 oz/ton at $35 gold). By October 31 a total of 12,995 feet of lateral work was done including 839 feet of stoping on the 150-foot level, 576 feet on the 300-footlevel ands 124 feet on the 600-foot level. During August 9 DDH (2000 feet) were drilled examining a further 100feet of strike length. Several encouraging section were cut.

    1939 - A total of 78,247 tons were milled during the year and $227,004 bullion recovered (6,486 oz. At $35 gold)and 2,017 tons of arsenical concentrates containing another 2,875 oz. of gold was recovered. The recovered goldwas 0.120 oz/ton. An important discovery was made south of the Cadillac Break on the 150-foot level. This newzone lies between 700 and 1300 feet west of the main zone. According to old notes taken by A.P. Beavan (theOBrien Division of Sulpetro Minerals) and quoted by B. E. Gorman It is apparent that Beavan reckoned better

    possibilities could be found in the greenstones further west.

    1939 - The mine operated until July, producing $143,752 in bullion from 42,381 tons of milled ore (4,097 oz. at $35gold). There are no records of any concentrates. The new zone did not persist below the 150-foot level and theonly work was done on the 610, and 616 stopes on the 600-foot level. After operations ended in July the mill wasleased to Central Cadillac.

    1940-1942 - The mine was kept de-watered and the mill treated ore from Central Cadillac.

    1943-1944 Steps were taken to sell the New Alger Property, without success. A report by T. Kouliminerecommended additional drilling on the west part of the New Alger Property, concentrating on a system of cross-fractures and renewed exploration in the quartz albitites north of the Cadillac Break.

    1945 - Attempts in selling the New Alger Property having proved futile, a new company called Alger Gold Mining

    Limited was formed. Diamond drilling began in June, totaling 20 surface holes (9,451 feet) and 48 undergroundholes (1,447 feet). During December, 103 feet of drifting was done on the 450-foot level, and 178 feet of cross-cutting on the 600-foot level.

    1946 - An additional 4 surface holes were drilled on the west zone south of the Cadillac Break. Numerous erraticsections of mineralization were found according to resident geologist W. G. Robinson. The total surface andunderground drilling amounted to 9,256 feet. In May the shaft was deepened from 620 feet to 850 feet, with 689feet of cross-cuts and 2,326 feet of drifting.

    1947 - The main (#1) shaft reached 1124 feet, with levels established at the 975 and 1100 feet. Two veins (B andC) were opened up and found to join on the 1100-foot level but pinched out 225 feet below. Operations ceased in

    porphyritic andesite host rock (the mineralized horizon) across the New Alger Property and inferred the existence of a bulge in the Pich volcanic unit.

    1989-1990 - The following work was done:

    2 drill holes were completed along section 7+75E with a total 273.56m drilled. They were designedto test the Number 3 Zone at a shallow depth; and

    2 trenches just to the west of the #2 shaft were re-opened and sampled.

    Geological Setting

    The New Alger Property is located in the southern part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, in the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. In this area, the Belt is composed of Archean age bimodal volcanic complexes, relatedsediments, granitoid stocks and early Proterozoic diabase dykes. The supercrustal rocks form a series of east-westtrending units of metavolcanic and metasediments arranged around a bifurcating synclinal structure, the main arm of which is termed the Malartic Syncline and the northwest trending arm termed the Clericy Syncline. The foldaxes are associated with major fault zones, which define lozenge shaped blocks that are postulated to bestratigraphically independent of each other.

    The Pontiac Block is extensively capped by clastic sedimentary rocks of the Pontiac Group and includes minor metavolcanic units as well as the Piche Group of volcanic of mafic volcanics. The Blake River and the Malartic

    blocks are separated from the Pontiac Block by narrow belts of clastic sedimentary rocks termed the Kewagama andCadillac Groups, respectively.

    The Cadillac Fault represents the predominant structural feature in this area. This break strikes EW and extendsfrom Kirkland Lake (Ontario) to Val DOr Quebec, a distance of 250 kilometers. It is a Ramsay type brittle-ductile sinistral shear that exhibits a crustal fracture system of second order Riedel shears and tension gashes.Many interpretations are proposed for the movement that took place along this break: 1) sinistral component; 2)dextral transpression; 3) vertical inverse movement; and 4) vertical component. The Cadillac-Piche contactrepresents a high strain zone of deformation of the regional extent called the Cadillac Break (Pelchat, 1996). Bherer (1990) states that the trace of the fault is defined by an uninterrupted band of talc-chlorite-carbonate schist 20 to+200 meters thick.

    Meta-volcanic rocks of the Piche, Cadillac and Pontiac Groups underlie the New Alger Property. From old drilllogs and surficial mapping it is the Piche Group that hosts the quartz vein gold-sulphide mineralization. TheCadillac break is interpreted cuts the New Alger Property in a slightly ENE-WSW direction just to the north of themineralized horizon.

    Cadillac Group: this group is composed of greywacke, siltstone, polymictic conglomerate, and talc-chlorite-carbonate schist. Occasional beds of argillite with graphitic mudstone were observed in drill holes at the Decoeur Prospect west of the New Alger Property (possible Pontiac Group rocks). The beds can vary from a few millimetersto a few meters thick. The thick polymictic conglomerates have fragments of felsite, chert, and sediments. Thematrix of the conglomerate is formed of siliceous-biotite-sericite material. The greywacke and siltstone are

    intercalated and exhibit graded bedding and parallel laminations.

    Pontiac Group: this group is composed of greywacke, interbedded with argillite, massive to pillowed mafic flowsand ultramafic flows. This group overlies the south portion of the New Alger Property. The greywacke and theargillite are similar to the sedimentary rocks of the Cadillac group but contain more biotite and sericite.

    Piche Group: this group is composed of a sequence of mafic rocks, amphibolites, volcanic tuffs and flows. Thevolcanic sequence is mineralized with gold and minor sulphide mineralization of chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, and

    pyrite. The mineralized section was intersected both by diamond drilling and trenching.

    New Alger Property Geology

    The A-series of diamond drill drilling (24 holes totaling 12,522.5 feet or 3,826 meters) gave a completestratigraphic section of the Pich Group south of the Cadillac Break, extending 600 meters east of the Bousquet-Cadillac TWP boundary. South of the break the Pich Group is 200 meters thick. The rocks strike E-W with avertical to steeply dipping to the south. The greenstones (Unit V7) are dark green chloritic basalts, fine grained, andvariably altered to carbonate. Occasional horizons of weakly porphyritic and biotitic zones are reported. Several

    zones of coarser grained dioritic or gabbroic (3G) are described, as well as agglomerated (Unit V10).

    Two porphyritic horizons are recognized (Unit V6). The southernmost unit (the South Porphyry) is the more maficof the two, often described as transitional from greenstone. Its thickness ranges between 15-30meters. Thenorthernmost unit (the North Porphyry) is more siliceous, grey, and strongly porphyritic, marked by sharp contacts.It ranges in thickness from 8 meters (west end) to 60 meters (east end). The North porphyry is generally altered to

    carbonate, biotite, arsenopyrite + pyrite, and bleached zones.

    The north boundary of the North Porphyry is marked by a layer of black graphitic tuff (Unit V9), followed bygreywacke (S3). Approaching the talc-chlorite schist of the Cadillac Break (Mij), a zone of chlorite schist is likelyderived from the greenstones. The Cadillac Break is approximately 180m thick as indicated in drill hole B-1.Several zones of intense carbonate alteration are reported at the east end, and in the vicinity of the North Porphyry.The carbonate zones are described as light grey laminated carbonate rocks, visibly mineralized with pyrite,arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite.

    Deposit Type

    Gold mineralization is associated with all types of rocks. Some lithologies are more favourable than others becauseof their distinctive chemical properties i.e. stronger reducing environment due to carbon (graphite) or sulphides,and their susceptibility to fracturing and shearing. Other favourable lithologies are banded iron formation, pyritictuffs and ultramafic flows. However, on the New Alger Property gold mineralization is controlled by structuresidentified as high deformation zones within broader shear zones. At the New Alger Property or deposit scale themost important exploration criteria are:

    areas of porphyry intrusions/extension,

    local ore controlling structures,

    gold mineralization (as a lead to finding more gold) and

    alteration that maps hydrothermal activity.

    The general geological criteria for area or target selection can be summarized in the following table taken fromTable 1.2, p5 in Bherer, 1990.

    Three types of mineralization related to distinct gold-bearing geological settings characterize the Cadillac miningcamp:

    1) gold-bearing massive sulphide lenses (Bousquet 2 and Laronde mines),

    2) gold-rich polymetallic veins (Doyon and Muouska mines), and

    3) auriferous veins associated with regional E-W-trending faults (OBrien, Thomson-Cadillac (New Alger),Kewagama, Central Cadillac, and Wood Cadillac, Lapa deposit).

    Mineralization

    The mineralization mined at the New Alger Mine consists of auriferous quartzcarbonate veins with a variableamount (trace to 10%) of sulphides. The most common sulphides are arsenopyrite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and

    pyrrhotite. Also gold can be found in sericite shears with the same sulphides.

    Most of the mined gold mineralization is found in the South Porphyry that hosts a blue quartz vein associated witharsenopyrite-biotite. Gold concentration varies from trace amounts to 87.8 g/t over 0.2 meters. The vein appears tosplay into a stringer zone east of DDH A-17 and may correspond with the #1S Vein at depth.

    The unexploited North Porphyry contains several wider zones of biotite-arsenopyrite mineralization although quartzveining is minor. The Northern Porphyry may be similar in age to the mineralized porphyry (tonalite found on the

    Normin property west of the New Alger Property (H.R. Lahti, 2004). Much of the mineralization is associated withcarbonate and graphitic zones. The lower assays (of the order of 2 g/t) over wider intersections are reported. Theassociation with carbonate alteration and graphitic tuff suggest a situation similar to the OBrien G Vein further tothe east.

    Evidence from exploration work done on the near by OBrien property (east side), Agnico-Eagle (west side) and

    others in the same geological environment that there remains to be found significant gold resources at depth. This is particularly true for the New Alger Property where previous exploration and mining has not explored below the300m level.

    Exploration

    Dr. Lahti is not aware of any unreported work done on the property.

    There is no new drill data available.

    Interpretation And Conclusions

    From the study of old mining drill logs, reports, maps mining records and the Quebec government report PRO2005-02 Dr. Lahti has reached the following conclusions;

    The New Alger (Thomson-Cadillac) mine operated between 1929-1930, 1935-1939 and 1946-1948.Most of the production was from 1936-1939 when the minimum production was 21,740 oz. of

    gold from 175, 055 tons of mined rock representing an average grade of 0.123 oz/ton (4.22 g/t).

    About 60% of the gold was free milling with the remainder bound up in arsenical sulphideconcentrates with a grade of 1-2 oz/t.

    An A-Series of 24 DDH totaling 3,826 meters was completed in 1984. This program gave acomplete cross-section of the Pich Group south of the Cadillac Break from the Cadillac-BousquetTWP 600 meters to the east toward the main mine shaft.

    The low mining grade (0.123 oz/t) was attributed to using a heavy dilution to sustain a 200 ton per day production, wide stoping widths sometimes 3-4 times wider than used at the adjacent OBrienMine, and making an undue effort to mine broad mineralized zones 8-20 feet wide.

    The New Alger Property has not been thoroughly explored below the 300m level or for the fulllength along strike of the mined quartz-carbonate-sulphide mineralized structure.

    Although from the previous mining history only a modest tonnage of ore was extracted and processed, there is still a good potential to find ore grade mineralization at depth.

    The gold veins F and G being mined on the OBrian property, which is located on the eastern

    boundary of the New Alger Property near the main shaft, should be tested on the New Alger Property to see if they extend on to the New Alger Property.

    Recommendations

    Dr. Lahti recommends that the New Alger Property be systematically explored by deep drilling to test the NewAlger Property for an economic size gold deposit at depth and in particular the North Porphyry. In order to dofuture exploration on the New Alger Property the old grid would first have to be reestablished. The initialexploration work required is summarized below:

    PHASE 1

    It is recommended that a re-establish a grid be cut over the prospective part of the New Alger Property with a line spacing of 50 meters and pickets 25 meters surveyed along each line.

    A drilling program designed to both test the economic potential of the North Porphyry where thehistorical grades are lower but the widths are larger and the whole length of the Main Mine VeinStructure from the east boundary to the west boundary, a total of 1200 meters. It is recommendedthat 10 shallow (200-250m) holes be drill to test the economic potential of the North Porphyry and10 deep holes (450-600m) be drilled to test the down dip extension of the old mine workings an the

    RISK FACTORS

    Shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this Circular before approving the Acquisition. The risks below are not the only ones facing the Corporation. Additional risks notcurrently known to the Corporation, or that the Corporation currently deems immaterial, may also impair theCorporation's operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Corporation's business, financial conditionand operating results could be adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of the Common Shares could declineand investors could lose part or all of their investment.

    Nature of mineral exploration and mining

    The New Alger Property is not a mining property in production. The Corporation's viability and potential success liein its ability to develop, exploit and generate revenue from mineral deposits. The exploration and development of

    mineral deposits involve significant financial risk over a significant period of time which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While discovery of a mine may result insubstantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expensesmay be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site. It isimpossible to ensure that the current or proposed exploration programs on the New Alger Property will result in a

    profitable commercial mining operation.

    The operations of the Corporation will be subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to exploration anddevelopment of mineral properties, any of which could result in damage to life and property, environmental damageand possible legal liability for any and all damage. The activities of the Corporation may be subject to prolongeddisruptions due to weather conditions. Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formation, rock bursts, pressure,cave-ins, flooding or other conditions may be encountered in the drilling and removal of material. While theCorporation may obtain insurance against certain risks in such amounts as it considers adequate, the nature of these

    risks are such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or could be excluded from coverage. There are also risksagainst which the Corporation cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure. The potential costs whichcould be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or associatedwith compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capitaloutlays, adversely affecting the future earnings and competitive position of the Corporation and, potentially, itsfinancial position.

    Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size and grade, proximity to infrastructure, financing costs andgovernmental regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, infrastructure, land use,

  • 8/14/2019 Ultramafic Volcanics Sedimentary Rock Belt

    30/117

    57741.v11 28

    importing and exporting and environmental protection. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Corporation not receiving an adequate return on investedcapital.

    Fluctuating Prices

    Factors beyond the control of the Corporation may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered on the NewAlger Property. Commodity prices have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond theCorporations control. The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted.

    Permits and Licenses

    The operations of the Corporation will require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. TheCorporation believes that Chilly-Bin presently holds all necessary licenses and permits required to carry on withactivities it intends to conduct under applicable laws and regulations. However, licenses and permits are subject tochange in regulations. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain all necessary licensesand permits required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at the New Alger Property.

    Competition

    The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all its phases. The Corporation will compete withnumerous other companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources than the Corporation, in search for and the acquisition of attractive mineral properties. The ability of theCorporation to acquire properties in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop the New Alger Property, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration. Thereis no assurance that the Corporation will be able to compete successfully with its competitors in acquiring such

    properties or prospects.

    Environmental Regulation

    The operations of the Corporation will be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by governmentagencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions or various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepagefrom tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may resultin the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approvalof environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards, and enforcement, fines and penalties for non compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessmentsof proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors, officers andemployees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the

    profitability of future operations.

    Dependence on key personnel

    The Corporation will be dependent on the services of its senior management. The loss of any such individuals couldhave a material adverse effect on the Corporations operations.

    Limited financial resources

    The existing financial resources of the Corporation are not sufficient to carry out the recommended work on the New Alger Property. The Corporation will need to obtain additional financing from external sources in order to

  • 8/14/2019 Ultramafic Volcanics Sedimentary Rock Belt

    31/117

    57741.v11 29

    fund the exploration and development of the New Alger Property. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain such financing on favourable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the New Alger Property.

    Conflicts

    Certain of the directors and officers of the Corporation are directors or officers of, or have significant holdings in,other mineral resource companies. Such other companies may compete with the Corporation for the acquisition of mineral property rights.

    ADDITIONAL
