Highlights

		The Central Catharine property is located due north and north east of the Link-Catharine property and 20 km southeast of Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
		Teck Explorations Limited, (now Teck Cominco) completed a VLF-EM geophysical survey in 1984/85 and followed up this survey with a geological mapping program in 1986.
		One drill hole intersected a vein system that assayed 0.72 g/t Au over 0.73 metres. A second 3.0 metre zone of quartz vein and massive pyrite band was also intersected. Gold values were low in this intercept.
		Ground follow-up, mapping and sampling to delineate drill targets in 2008

Overview

The main claim block for this property is due north and northeast of the Link-Catharine Property. One claim is contiguous and west of the Link-Catharine, and three other small claims blocks are separated and west of the main Central Catharine claim block. The property is largely underlain by Wabawawa Group tholeiitic basalts and partly by younger Catharine Group intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks on the eastern one-third of the claim group. Teck Explorations Limited completed a VLF-EM geophysical survey in 1984-85, and followed up this survey with a geological mapping program in 1986. Teck’s mineral claim block was much larger in size than the current Central Catharine Property.

The VLF-EM survey identified a number of scattered conductors. The follow-up geological mapping and prospecting determined that these anomalies were not correlatable with mineralized zones or shears. The detailed geological mapping defined the lithologic units of the Wabawawa and Catharine Groups. The current Central Catharine Property spatially corresponds to Teck’s Block II claims on which nine mineralized exposures were sampled. The sample locations comprised quartz veins and sheared volcanic rock with associated quartz stringers. There are no descriptive notes on size, width and altitude of the mineralized showings. Three of the nine samples assayed 0.30 to 0.41 g/t Au; some samples returned significant copper and silver assay values.

Three historic vein systems occur in an area 1.6 to 3.0 km north and northwest of the Central Catharine property.These are; 1. Gold Hill vein which was developed down to 365m depth and 275m along-strike; a 100 ton per day mill operated for a short period during 1927-1928, 2. Kennedy-Boston vein with occasional finely disseminated gold was very narrow, but it was explored underground to a depth of 45 m and along-strike for 365m; there is no record of production, and 3. Hilltop showing consisted of a series of narrow lenticular quartz veins with very fine visible gold grains; it was explored underground to a depth of 207m and along-strike for one kilometre.
