Preamble
Superior Exploration, Adventure & Climbing Co. Ltd. is an Incorporated Company specializing in
Mining Exploration and Geophysics as well as Professional climbing.
Our ground VLF surveys (YVLF) have proven themselves as a very effective way to complete
geophysics on the ground in a non-invasive way. No cut lines are needed and a permit is not
required.
We have worked in many countries and have experience working in a wide variety of
environments such as VMS, Breccia Pipes, Epithermal Veins and Shear Hosted Gold Deposits.
Sandra Slater is a member of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada. She has
been working in the Geological/Geophysical field for over 8 years, specializing in data analysis
and VLF2DMF software.
Shaun began working with the developer of the VLF2DMF software since its inception in 2008
and he and Sandra continue to do so. Throughout the process, many test surveys have been
completed with proven, successful results.
Executive Summary:
This Ground VLF test survey was completed in the area known as the Middle-Wolf-Fisher Zones.
The property is located approximately 28 kilometers Northeast of White River, Ontario. (Map 1)
The survey was carried out in May & June 2017, using a VLF EM-16 unit and a handheld Garmin
GPS-60CSX. Two transmitters were read at each station: NAA 24.0 KHz Cutler, Maine and
NML 25.2 KHz- La Moure, North Dakota. A total of 33.84 Km of VLF was carried out on 20
previously cut grid lines. (Map 2)
The main objective of the survey was to determine if the VLF Survey could delineate zones
carrying mineralization and or structures in the area of the Middle-Wolf and Fisher Zones. No
geological information was known prior to the completion of the VLF survey. The location of
the Wolf zone and the approximate location of the Middle zone were known prior to the
survey. No location was known for the Fisher zone.

Property Access
Access is by the following:
- Cutting Road 100 from highway 17 for 24 kilometers to the junction of road 300
- Road 300 to the east until kilometer 4 at junction of road 305
- Road 305 east and then south for 11.3 kilometers to junction of road 306
- Follow road 306 for 7 kilometers to a large open trench with outcrop where there is
a parking area. This is approximately at Line 145N, Station 12+60E
Deposit Types
The Sugar Zone is an epithermal deposit located in the Sugar Deformation Zone, or SDZ, which
is an area of high strain. The Sugar Zone, along with the Wolf Zone, make up the only two
known gold deposits within the relatively small SDZ, and the only two currently known gold
deposits within the Dayohessarah Greenstone Belt. (Kociumbas,M.W; Fardy,D.P 2012)
Introduction
A VLF-EM16 survey is a relatively simple and economic geophysical survey that is used to better
understand shallow, vertical and sub vertical bedrock conductors.
This report describes the findings and results of the VLF EM-16 survey utilizing the VLF2DMF
processing software of which the author of this report has assisted in its development since
2007. It enables the processing and inversion of electromagnetic (EM) induction data acquired
along a survey area using a Very Low Frequency (VLF) (Santos 2013)
The software generates profiles of Raw Data, Fraser Filtered Data, KH, Resistivity and (2-D)
Modelled Inversions.
VLF data collected in the surveyed area was also compiled onto plan maps of contoured Fraser
Filter data and contours of Resistivity data.
Personnel
The VLF EM-16 operator and GPS field navigator responsible for the collection of all raw data
was Shaun Parent assisted by Sandra Slater.
Processing and Interpretation of the VLF data using the VLF2DMF Software was completed by
Sandra Slater and Shaun Parent.

Work Performed
Fieldwork
The VLF EM-16 survey consisted of running the survey along 20 previously cut lines. Some lines
were 200 meters apart and others were 100 meters apart. Basic prospecting was completed
during the survey, mapping pertinent findings such as outcrops and historical sample sites and
drill holes.
VLF survey direction: The VLF Em-16 receiver faced a direction of 47 degrees true azimuth for
each reading taken. Lines began with station 0+00 located at the west end of each line.
Previously cut grid line numbers were used.
VLF survey stations: All VLF readings were taken at approximately 20 meter stations along the
survey line.
Each station was saved onto the Handheld Garmin 60CSX GPS Unit (including local
features such as power lines, fences and geological structures)
VLF readings for each station were recorded in a notebook as In-Phase and Quadrature
corresponding to the line number and station number. (See example in Table 1)
Field information was transferred to a Garmin map source program where line and
station information could be viewed.
Garmin and VLF data were compiled onto an excel spreadsheet and then inputted into
the VLF2DMF processing software. For this test survey all UTM Values are NAD 83.

Interpretation & Modelling
VLF2DMF Data Processing
All VLF data collected was processed and interpreted separately for TX NAA and TX NML.
Although all profiles/filters were used in the interpretation process, Raw Data and 2D Modelled
Inversion are included in the appendix at the end of this report.
K-H Profiles
Raw Data was run through the Karous-Hjelt (K-H) filter. The filter is applied to
obtain a section of current density. The higher values are generally associated
with conductive structures. (Karous, Hjelt 1983) If there is depth extent, this is
shown on the In-phase profile as dark blue.
Map 3 Shows the layout of the VLF lines on an elevation contour map.
The stronger anomalies were interpreted into main trends, however, there are more, weaker
ones that could not be followed due to the 200 meter spacing between lines as well as a lack of
knowledge of the geological strike prior to interpretation. A more accurate result could be
achieved with additional fill in lines being completed in order to verify responses.
During the VLF survey, VLF conductors were found in outcrop. The UTM location of the Middle
Zone was given. The UTM of the Fisher zone was unknown at the time of this survey.??? IS THIS
NECESSARY? If so, explain the relevance???. Take all of this out
Many rusty outcrops were found during the VLF Field survey and can be viewed on the models
included in Appendix A & B at the end of this report.

Conclusions
This TEST Ground VLF EM-16 survey over the Middle-Wolf-Fisher Zones was successful in:
Defining Several VLF bedrock conductors including a trend over the Wolf Zone and the
Middle Zone.
Several VLF trends from the Wolf Zone were identified heading north from line 147N.
Since the UTM location of the Fisher zone was not disclosed at the time of the VLF
survey, the VLF Picks and trends covering this zone could not be identified by the
author.
Discovery of new rusty outcrops during the course of the survey identified by VLF
anomalies.
Using a bedrock background resistivity of 2000 ohms gave us modelled sections to 144.0
meters in depth and outlined several highly resistive and minimally resistive rock units.
Without geological information or geological strike information, it was difficult to match
the many VLF picks between the 200 meter lines and in some cases the 100 meter lines.
Recommendations
Run additional 100 meter fill in lines between 156N, 158N, 160N in order to obtain
additional VLF Picks and trends northward from line 154N. This information will allow an
easier interpretation and outline trends across the survey area.
View the Reconnaissance VLF lines on Google Earth images in order to identify linear
structures.
Ground follow up of the VLF Picks and Trends outlined in this report. These include
areas where historical sampling was taken and where rusty outcrops were found during
the course of the VLF survey.
Ground follow-up of VLF Picks and Trends north of the Middle Zone. There were plenty
of outcrops north of line 143N and the small lake. Prospecting along these trends might
uncover outcropping of the Middle Zone trend.
Compare the VLF Survey trends with known geological mapping, as it appears that many
of the weaker VLF picks and trends represent geological contacts.
Produce plan maps of modelled data at various depths of -25, -50 & -100 in an attempt
to delineate the trends of the best conductive zones.
Produce plan maps of 3D Fraser filtered data to better follow weaker trends across the
grid.
Produce plan maps of KH filter data in order to delineate the best conductive zones
across the grid.
Overlay known drilling onto the VLF section models in order to better understand the
VLF responses.
Use a portable VLF transmitter in order to better energize the conductive horizons
between the Wolf Zone and the strong VLF Conductors from Lines 147N to 161N. This
will energize the conductive zones due to better coupling of energy. The Transmitter
21
wire should be laid out along Tie Line 9800E with VLF lines run to the east. The
strongest VLF conductors that require geophysical follow-up are located at the following
Picks:
