located about 15 km west of the world class Hemlo gold deposit (containingroughly 20.8 million troy ounces gold as calculated from total production and reserves at Dec. 31, 2007).
The Property is bisected by the Trans-Canada highway, a Canadian Pacific railway line and a high
voltage power transmission line. The Williams Operating Corporation, now wholly-owned by Barrick Gold
Corporation, is currently producing gold at the Hemlo deposit. Infrastructure is excellent for low cost
exploration and for lower cost possible future gold mining project development.
The Northern Eagle Gold Property covers 10 km of Hemlo gold deposit stratigraphy including a barite
alteration/shear zone and the Hemlo-Heron Bay regional fault, both geological features similar to that
occurring at the Hemlo gold deposit. A second less distinct alteration zone called the Melgund Sericite
Zone is suggested to exist on the property and is interpreted to be closely associated with the Hemlo-
Heron Bay regional fault. The Barite Zone is associated with a northern splay of this regional fault. Both
alteration zones have geochemically elevated levels of a number of the trace elements which are found in
and surrounding the Hemlo Deposit. Geochemically-anomalous gold values are noted from time to time
in historical surface trench samples and drill core samples on the Northern Eagle Gold Property.
Following the Hemlo deposit discovery in 1981, there were several years of intense exploration activity.
Since the late 1980’s exploration has been sporadic over different parts of the Northern Eagle Gold
