Information about the Property

The Vendors, through a joint venture agreement, each own a 50 percent interest, in the Halle Township mineral exploration property located near Belleterre in southwestern Quebec. Richmond is the operator of the joint venture. During 2010, Richmond completed a preliminary exploration programme on the property including, line cutting, ground geophysical surveys and diamond drilling.

The property consists of 34 contiguous unpatented mining claims comprised of 1,980 hectares, more or less, in Halle Township, NTS map sheet 31-M-08. It lies approximately 22 kilometres east-northeast of the community of Belletarre and can be accessed via Route 816 and a secondary or tertiary bush road that intersects Route 816 some 30 kilometres east of Winneway, Quebec.

Two separate grids were cut and picketed on the property and are referred to as the north and south grids. A total of 61.3 line-kilometres (45.1 for the north grid, 16.2 for the south grid) were cut in the winter of 2010. Geophysique TMC of Val d'Or, Quebec completed a total field magnetic survey and a horizontal loop electromagnetic (EM) survey on each of the grids at the property between May and June 2010. Anomalous magnetic and EM responses were recorded in the surveys on each grid, and several drilling targets were identified.

Richmond undertook a diamond drill programme from September 9 to October 15, 2010 to test the targets identified from interpretation of the ground geophysical data. The drilling contractor was Magma Drilling of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. A total of 1,613.32 lineal meters of diamond drilling in 7 holes (RMDH-10.01 to RMDH-10-07) were completed.

Results from the diamond drilling programme determined that the sources of the anomalous geophysical trends on the north and south grid areas of the property are sulphide mineralized deformation zones related to the local faulting. These faults are also found along lithological boundaries between the metavolcanic units in the northwestern portion of the property, and the metasedimentary units in the southeastern portion of the property.

The sulphide mineralization associated with these contact/fault zones is carrying elevated values of zinc and nickel, particularly in the central part of the north grid between holes RMDH-10-04 and RMDH-10-02 (central zone). Although not ore grade, these values are significant.

Additional diamond drilling and down hole geophysical surveying in the north grid area has been recommended in a 43-101 technical report prepared on the property for the Corporation.
