3. Description of Project: (Attach separate sheet if necessary)


Estimated Starting Date of Project

15 October 2012


Estimated Completion Date

15 January 2013


A) Location of the Work Program(s): Attach Map(s)


Dominique deposit area north of Plymouth, Yarmouth County, NS. About 4.5 kilometers east of Yarmouth airport. Please see attached maps.









B) Previous Work Completed on the Property by the Applicant or Others:


The Dominique Showing is a tin, indium and base metal prospect in Meguma Group

metasediments near Yarmouth, southwestern Nova Scotia. The area was explored extensively by

Shell Canada Resources in the late 1970's, at which time they outlined tin mineralization in

chloritic shears and also greisen hosted tin in metasediments near the contact with a quartz

monzonite pluton. The discovery of the large East Kemptville deposit diverted their attention

from the Dominique area and exploration at Dominique was discontinued.

In 1991 The Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources drilled four holes on the prospect and

recorded indium values up to 90 ppm, associated with zinc sulphides. In 1997, the ground was

staked by Votix Corporation Limited to investigate the indium, tin and zinc potential.

The Votix work consisted of reviewing existing material, examining the extensive collection of

drill core in the NSDNR core library and re-sampling of selected mineralized sections for

previously untested indium. Results showed anomalous but erratic indium throughout the

Dominique Showing. Two samples in different drill holes returned assays of 120 and 160 ppm

indium.

Shell had postulated a series of vertically dipping pencil-like pods of mineralization. It now

appears, from the sections, that there is at least one and probably more sub-parallel shear zones,

traceable over a considerable strike length.

Three diamond holes were drilled by Votix, to test the up-dip extension of the main Dominique

shear zone. All three holes cut significant tin ranging from 0.51% over 1.62 metres to 1.22% over

0.6 metres.

John Wightman staked the property in 2005 and has carried out prospecting, ground magnetic,

MMI soil geochemistry and gravity surveys on the property. This has resulted in the discovery of

several locally derived boulders with significant lead, zinc, tin, silver and indium values. These

are located near the Egypt Road, two kilometres to the north of the main Dominique Tin

Showing. Similar magnetic signatures to the Dominique Showing are present and in addition to

the already established potential of the Dominique Showing, have advanced the tin/indium

potential of the property considerably. In addition to having significant indium and tin values

similar to the Dominique showing, the lead and zinc values are appreciable higher than those

obtained previously at Dominique. Prospecting and identification by proponent of high grade float field, with assays up to ~ 25% Pb, 6% Zn, >40 oz. Silver, ~1% Sn, about 2 km up-ice of 3 zones at Dominique. Review of 2nd derivative Aero-mag maps and preliminary recce gravity survey have identified suspected gravity anomaly indicative of a buried granite pluton and therefore the inferred location of suspected mineralized zones distal to intrusion.

Please see attached maps.








C) Reasons for Conducting the Work Program(s):


To define location of mineralized zone distal to inferred granite intrusion which is suspected host to very high grade mineralized float assaying ~ 25% Pb, 6% Zn, >40 oz. Silver, ~1% Sn.

Please see attached assays.










D) Description of the Planned Work (separate according to property if more than one):


This property is covered by extensive glacial till and outwash to a depth of >5 meters.

Outcrop is very limited. Trenching has been non-productive. Indirect exploration methods are required. Gravity has been recommended by geologist, Don Black.

About 100 gravity data collection points are suggested to supplement existing survey points acquired in previous surveys.
