WORK PLAN
We contracted Canadian Mining Geophysics Ltd. ("CMG") to fly a helicopter-borne magnetic gradiometer & radiometric survey over our Venton Lake claims. The survey was conducted in early June 2012 and consisted of one block totaling 511.6 line-kilometers (l-km) and with a line spacing of 100 meters (m).
A. Summer Exploration Program - 2012
Extracts from CMG Report Dated June 12, 2012
The survey was flown using the NAD83 Datum and UTM Projection, Zone 16 North. The CMG magnetic gradiometer consists of three (3) potassium magnetometer sensors separated approximately 3.0 m apart. Measured gradients include the vertical and transverse (cross-line) horizontal. The parallel (in-line) horizontal gradient is calculated and is possible because of the close separation of the magnetometer readings (~3 m) along the flight line.
In addition to the magnetic, a RSX-5 digital airborne gamma-ray spectrometer data has been collected for the detection and measurement of low-level radiation from both naturally occurring and man-made sources. The spectrometer was built by and purchased from Radiation Solutions Inc. consisting of four downward looking crystals and one upward.
The helicopter used was a Bell 407 with registration C-FMML, owned and operated by Wisk Air based in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Installation of the ancillary equipment was performed at the base of operations. Two short test flights were performed to ensure the system was operational prior to survey commencement. The gradiometer system was attached to the helicopter by a 30 m long tow cable. The tow cable contains a Kevlar strength member and a weak link. The tow cable also contains the power and signal wires.
B. Fall/Winter Exploration Program - 2013
We plan to conduct a follow-up ground exploration program for Venton Lake in 2013, at a budgeted cost of approximately $100,000. This would consist of rock sampling, GPS georeferencing and additional airborne survey work.
