Lori's Exploration and Drill Plan

To stop all the speculation and questions about Lori's Master plan, or when is she going to tell us her Master Plan.
Here it is straight out of the Paul Grey 43101 Report.

Lori’s Exploration and Drill Plan

1. Phase IA: Audio Magnetotelluric Three Dimensional Inversion of the Quantec Geophysical Data: The Quantec data has been collected and processed, however this data has not been inverted and re-processed with MT 3D. This should be conducted as soon as appropriate as it will help guide all surface and sub-surface exploration on the Property. A program budget of $17,000 and duration of three (3) weeks would required for this phase, which could be done at any time.

2. Phase IB: Systematic and Detailed Tesoro Camp Wide Mapping and Sampling Program: A Property wide mapping campaign designed to locate new mineralized veins should be mounted with particular attention paid to the North vein corridor, the near surface anomalies identified from the Quantec Survey and the areas covered by the newly added mineral claims. This data should be assembled into a single coherent GIS package which could be utilized to guide all future work on the Project. In particular a detailed geological basemap highlighting all known (ground-truthed) mineralized showings and areas of anomalous geochemical/geophysical signatures should be produced from this exercise. The geologist employed in this program should have a clear understanding of the identified mineralization within the Tesoro Camp and
apply that knowledge to exploration planning on the Tesoro Property as a hole. A program budget of $95,000 and duration of forty (40) days would be required for this phase, which could done any time.

3. Phase IC: Systematic Mechanical Trenching Program: A detailed trenching program focused on those areas identified as anomalous from Phase 1A and involving a D-6 or larger excavator should be implemented on the Tesoro Property as soon as practicable. This program should be concentrated on those areas on strike and in between known mineralized vein and in particular be located in the North Corridor and on the high priority near surface targets identified by Quantec. A program budget of $180,000 and duration of five (5) weeks would required for this phase, which could be done any time, weather permitting.

4. Phase ID: Geological and Geophysical Compilation Program: After completion of Phases 1A-1C, a geologist should be employed to compile the geological and geophysical data into a single coherent GIS package with clear diamond drilling targets selected. This step is required to determine the most geologically and geophysically suited targets to test by diamond drilling. Targets should be generated and prioritized into a logical progression of drilling order, whereby early drillholes focus on both near surface and deeper seated geophysical targets with interpreted geological controls. This important aspect of the program will require two (2) weeks and a budget of $10,800.00 and can be completed anytime after Phase 1C is completed and assays received.

5. Phase ID: Diamond Drill Program: A suite of at least 24 drillholes (totalling at least 10,000 metres) designed to test the near surface and deeper seated geophysical anomalies identified and substantiated from Phases 1A-1D are warranted for the Tesoro Project. Eleven weeks would be required to mobilize and drill the targets identified within Phase ID. A program budget of $2,200,000 would be necessary for this phase and would best be conducted between May and December.

****Below are the stages of (No#5) the drill program that are recommended by Quantec****

1) Test the center portions of the interpreted high priority anomalies utilizing angled drilling With a maximum dip of ~65 degrees. If favourable results are obtained, then test the deep Portion and unexplored areas in the vicinity of the interpreted anomalies where significant chargeability, DC and MT resistivity responses are observed.

2) Review the available geophysical, geological and geochemical data in the vicinity of the Priority target areas prior to drilling and commencing further exploration of these zones.

3) Evaluate and re interpret the existing conventional surface a borehole geophysical data if Available to further enhance the interpretation and drill targeting

4) In cases where the deep MT responses are an extension of the shallower DCIP chargeability, a higher priority may be assigned to these responses if significant results are intersected by the recommended drill holes.

5) When the deep targets are drilled, follow up with Borehole Time Domain Electromagnetic BHTEM) and consider physical property logging on all the drillholes in order to delineate the Extent of the source and/or identify secondary sources of the anomalies.

6) Similarly, if mineralization and/or alteration is encountered when drilling the target zones, a priority step back drilling should be considered for testing the areas in the vicinity of the
Titan anomalies.


Since the Quantec 2 major developments have taken place with the plan.

1) The Extensive trenching program has been expanded immensely and is still ongoing.

2) The Drill program has been expanded to 20,000m and is ongoing with two drills on site. A 600m and 1000m drill rig and a 1500m deep drill rig not yet on sight.
