History of Ardeen Area ¨C Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada
¡¤ 110 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario (population 109,000) 100% interest in claims covering >5,000 hectares
¡¤ Highway within 15 km of project
¡¤ Extensive network of graded logging roads provides ready
access throughout the project High voltage power within 15km of the historic Ardeen Gold Mine
¡¤ Northern Ontario¡¯s first gold mine ¨C discovered in 1871
¡¤ Historic production of 29,948 oz gold at 6.48 g/t Au and 140,000 oz silver at 37.3 g/t Ag Shaft to 380m and 8 levels of development over strike of 850m
¡¤ Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike
¡¤ Significant amount of ore remains unmined
Exploration History
¡¤ Little regional work done since 1970¡¯s
¡¤ Spasmodic drilling in and around the historic Ardeen mine up until 1990¡¯s
¡¤ Claim ownership was largely fragmented
¡¤ Pele Mountain consolidated tenure in mid 1990¡¯s
¡¤ Completed 12,000m drilling
¡¤ Identified numerous high grade zones
¡¤ Ceased work during DOT COM Boom with a large amount of core not analysed or assayed
Initial Target
¡¤ Based on non compliant work CVY has an initial EXPLORATION TARGET of 1.2mt @ 10 to 15 g/t for approx 400,000 to 500,000oz of Au.
¡¤ Initial work conducted have indicated the following characteristics of the ore;
o >97% recoveries
o Gravity approx 40% recovery
o Cyanide leaching recovers 95%
o Non refractory
o Amenable to conventional processing
¡¤ SIGNIFICANT exploration upside both on a project and regional basis
Key Milestones
¡¤ Recovery and analysis of previous diamond drill core. Results expected to start being released MID NOVEMBER
¡¤ 4,000m of DIAMOND DRILLING completed, results expected MID TO END OF NOVEMBER
¡¤ JORC RESOURCE released by EARLY 2010
VALUATION
Whilst Canadian gold companies enjoy a premium in valuation against their Australian counterparts, it would be reasonable to assume a valuation around $75/oz. This figure will change marketable based upon the grade and expected costs associated with each company¡¯s specific deposit. In general, the higher the grade, the higher the attributable value to per/oz.
On this basis it is reasonable to assign US$75/oz or A$80/0z
¡¤ Initial Exploration Target 400,000 to 500,000 oz @ A$80 = A$32 to $40m
¡¤ Exploration upside =?m
¡¤ Cash = $6m
¡¤ TOTAL A$38-$46m or ~ $0.54 to $0.65 with SIGNIFICANT exploration upside
