Suzanne Côté, Mineral resources technician Direction Énergie, Mines et Territoire public, région de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue The Abitibi and Pontiac subprovinces form the southern part of the Superior Province in Québec. The Abitibi Subprovince is the largest, one of the most studied, and among the richest Archean greenstone belts in the world. It comprises numer- ous granitoid intrusions and volcanic and sedimentary belts broadly trending E-W (Figure 1B-1), ranging in age from 2.75 to 2.67 Ga. The Abitibi belt is transected by several major, generally reverse faults trending E-W or NW-SE, as well as sinistral NE-trending and dextral SE-trending faults. The Pontiac Subprovince is separated from the Abitibi Subprovince by the Cadillac Tectonic Zone, a structure that hosts many gold deposits. The Pontiac Subprovince comprises granitoid intrusions and orthogneisses in its central part, along with detrital sedimentary rocks and paragneisses with a few volcanic sequences. The latter form ultramafic, mafic, and felsic assemblages in the southwestern part of the Pontiac Subprovince. A few thin bands of mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks are also present along its northern edge. The Abitibi Subprovince is world-renowned for the great number and high grade of its precious metal (Au-Ag) and polymetallic (Cu-Zn-Au-Ag and Cu-Au) ore deposits. A few metallic deposits, architectural stone quarries, and industrial mineral deposits (lime, quartz, kyanite, mica, garnet) were also mined in the Pontiac Subprovince. Mining and exploration have made this territory one of the most important mining regions in Québec for close to a century. Table 1B lists all exploration and mining development projects in the Abitibi and Pontiac subprovinces and in the westernmost Grenville Province. Figures 1B-1 to 1B-3 show project locations. Southwest Abitibi Subprovince, Abitibi-Témiscamingue Region In 2007, three mines were in operation in the western part of the Abitibi Subprovince: the Mouska and Doyon gold mines and the LaRonde polymetallic mine. West of Rouyn-Noranda, Rocmec Mining Corporation Inc. continued drifting and underground exploration drilling on the Rocmec I gold project (Project 22) (formerly Russian-Kid). The property contains at least six gold-bearing quartz vein systems (Front, West, McDowell, Talus, Shaft, Boucher, and Boucher 2) hosted in a gabbro intruding a granodiorite. The veins are characterized by silica, chlorite, sericite, epidote, and carbonate alteration and 2 to 10% pyrite. The Boucher Gold Zone assayed 214 g/t Au over 2.4 m in drillhole RS-02-07. Yorbeau Resources Inc. continued drilling on the Augmitto block of its Rouyn property (Project 11). Drillhole 07-S-425 intersected 3 m grading 20.78 g/t Au. Gold occurs in quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veinlets in carbonatized ultramafic rocks. Visible gold, along with disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite, are locally observed in the mineralized zone. Preparations are underway to dewater the ramp at this deposit and the company plans to extract a 100,000-tonne bulk sample. In the same area, Alexis Minerals Corporation and Thundermin Resources Inc. completed a 50-hole drilling program on the Lac Pelletier project (Project 53). Best results include 7.58 g/t Au over 22.4 m in drillhole 17475-31, where the B Shear and Zone 4.1 intersect. Gold occurs in a shear zone strongly altered to chlorite and carbonate, with pyrite and 10 to 40% quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veining. Ramp dewatering and underground exploration drilling are planned for 2008. Production of copper-rich ore began in October on the Fabie Bay project (Project 40), held by First Metals Inc. Located 35 km northwest of Rouyn-Noranda, the orebody contains an inferred resource estimated at 672,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.74% Cu. The targeted throughput for the mine is 1,500 tpd. Normabec Mining Resources Ltd, SOQUEM INC. and GéoNova Explorations Inc. reported interesting gold results from a drilling program on the Pitt Gold property (Project 58), located 35 km north of Rouyn-Noranda. Gold is associated with quartz stockworks containing 2-10% dis- seminated pyrite and trace chalcopyrite. Lithologies on both sides of the Destor-Porcupine Fault are gold-bearing, although intermediate volcanic rocks and quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes appear to be more favourable in terms of continuity. Drillhole PG2007-01 intersected three gold-bearing intervals, grading 11.52 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 12.35 g/t Au over 1.0 m, and 16.08 g/t Au over 1.0 m. On the RM Nickel property (Project 9), located 20 km west of Rouyn-Noranda, Radisson Mining Resources Inc. reported several high-grade copper and nickel intersections, such as 3.33 m (true thickness) averaging 4.89% Cu and 4.31% Ni in drillhole RM07-01. The RM Nickel deposit occurs at the base of the Horseshoe Gabbro, near the contact with andesites. It consists of massive to semi-massive sulphide lenses reaching up to 6 metres in thickness. About 20 km east of Rouyn-Noranda, on its Joanna prop- erty (Project 43), Aurizon Mines Ltd intersected 32 m grad- ing 2.2 g/t Au in drillhole JA-01. A new resource estimate was released, showing an indicated resource of 11.3 Mt at 1.7 g/t Au and an inferred resource of 28.57 Mt at 1.6 g/t Au. Partners Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. and Queenston

The Abitibi and Pontiac subprovinces form the southern part of the Superior Province in Québec. The Abitibi Subprovince is the largest, one of the most studied, and among the richest Archean greenstone belts in the world. It comprises numer-ous granitoid intrusions and volcanic and sedimentary belts broadly trending E-W (Figure 1B-1), ranging in age from 2.75 to 2.67 Ga. The Abitibi belt is transected by several major, generally reverse faults trending E-W or NW-SE, as well as sinistral NE-trending and dextral SE-trending faults.

The Pontiac Subprovince is separated from the Abitibi Subprovince by the Cadillac Tectonic Zone, a structure that hosts many gold deposits. The Pontiac Subprovince comprises granitoid intrusions and orthogneisses in its central part, along with detrital sedimentary rocks and paragneisses with a few volcanic sequences. The latter form ultramafi c, mafi c, and felsic assemblages in the southwestern part of the Pontiac Subprovince. A few thin bands of mafi c to ultramafi c volcanic rocks are also present along its northern edge.

The Abitibi Subprovince is world-renowned for the great number and high grade of its precious metal (Au-Ag) and polymetallic (Cu-Zn-Au-Ag and Cu-Au) ore deposits. A few metallic deposits, architectural stone quarries, and industrial mineral deposits (lime, quartz, kyanite, mica, garnet) were also mined in the Pontiac Subprovince. Mining and exploration have made this territory one of the most important mining regions in Québec for close to a century.

Table 1B lists all exploration and mining development projects in the Abitibi and Pontiac subprovinces and in the westernmost Grenville Province. Figures 1B-1 to 1B-3 show project locations.

Southwest Abitibi Subprovince,Abitibi-Témiscamingue Region

In 2007, three mines were in operation in the western part of the Abitibi Subprovince: the Mouska and Doyon gold mines and the LaRonde polymetallic mine. West of Rouyn-Noranda, Rocmec Mining Corporation Inc. continued drifting and

underground exploration drilling on the Rocmec I gold project (Project 22) (formerly Russian-Kid). The property contains at least six gold-bearing quartz vein systems (Front, West, McDowell, Talus, Shaft, Boucher, and Boucher 2) hosted in a gabbro intruding a granodiorite. The veins are characterized by silica, chlorite, sericite, epidote, and carbonate alteration and 2 to 10% pyrite. The Boucher Gold Zone assayed 214 g/t Au over 2.4 m in drillhole RS-02-07. Yorbeau Resources Inc. continued drilling on the Augmitto block of its Rouyn property (Project 11). Drillhole 07-S-425 intersected 3 m grading 20.78 g/t Au. Gold occurs in quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veinlets in carbonatized ultramafi c rocks. Visible gold, along with disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite, are locally observed in the mineralized zone. Preparations are underway to dewater the ramp at this deposit and the company plans to extract a 100,000-tonne bulk sample. In the same area, Alexis Minerals Corporation and Thundermin Resources Inc. completed a 50-hole drilling program on the Lac Pelletier project (Project 53). Best results include 7.58 g/t Au over 22.4 m in drillhole 17475-31, where the B Shear and Zone 4.1 intersect. Gold occurs in a shear zone strongly altered to chlorite and carbonate, with pyrite and 10 to 40% quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veining. Ramp dewatering and underground exploration drilling are planned for 2008.

Production of copper-rich ore began in October on the Fabie Bay project (Project 40), held by First Metals Inc. Located 35 km northwest of Rouyn-Noranda, the orebody contains an inferred resource estimated at 672,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.74% Cu. The targeted throughput for the mine is 1,500 tpd. Normabec Mining Resources Ltd, SOQUEM INC. and GéoNova Explorations Inc. reported interesting gold results from a drilling program on the Pitt Gold property (Project 58), located 35 km north of Rouyn-Noranda. Gold is associated with quartz stockworks containing 2-10% dis-seminated pyrite and trace chalcopyrite. Lithologies on both sides of the Destor-Porcupine Fault are gold-bearing, although intermediate volcanic rocks and quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes appear to be more favourable in terms of continuity. Drillhole PG2007-01 intersected three gold-bearing intervals, grading 11.52 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 12.35 g/t Au over 1.0 m, and 16.08 g/t Au over 1.0 m. On the RM Nickel property (Project 9), located 20 km west of Rouyn-Noranda, Radisson Mining Resources Inc. reported several high-grade copper and nickel intersections, such as 3.33 m (true thickness) averaging 4.89% Cu and 4.31% Ni in drillhole RM07-01.

Mining Inc. continued drill-testing the Ironwood Gold Zone on the Wood-Pandora property (Project 17). Gold is hosted in an iron formation. Drillhole W07-48 intersected 2.13 m grad-ing 7.63 g/t Au. During the fi rst quarter of 2007, IAMGOLD Québec Management Inc. announced the discovery of a min-eralized zone, Zone 2 Extension, on the Westwood-Mooshla project, located about 1.2 km east of the Doyon mine shaft (Project 16). Development of the exploration drift from level 14 at the Doyon mine toward the Westwood zone, which began in 2004, should be completed by the end of 2007. A pre-feasibility study is underway and results are expected in the second half of 2008. According to the company, shaft sinking should begin in 2009 and the start of commercial production is planned for 2012. An inferred resource on the order of 14.1 Mt at a grade of 7.3 g/t Au has been defi ned for the Westwood deposit. Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd continued development work at the LaRonde II mine (Project 20). Zone 20 North was intersected at nearly 3,000 metres depth and remains open at depth. Sinking of the internal shaft should begin during the last quarter of 2007 and the start-up of production is slated for 2011. The annual pro-duction rate should be on the order of 320,000 ounces of gold. Proven and probable reserves stand at 35.6 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 4.5 g/t Au. Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd also announced that shaft sinking on the Lapa property (Project 18), located east of Cadillac, which began in March 2005, had reached its fi nal depth of 1,370 m during the year. Lateral underground development was underway at the end of 2007, as well as the construction of surface facilities. The Contact Zone lies along the interface between sheared and altered mafi c and ultramafi c lavas of the Piché Group and sedimentary rocks of the Cadillac Group, within the Cadillac Tectonic Zone. Infi ll drilling yielded impressive results, namely a 3.5-m interval (true thickness) grading 15.03 g/t Au in drillhole LA07-89-7. Early in 2007, Typhoon Exploration Inc. released a resource estimate for the Fayolle property (Project 1), located 35 km northeast of Rouyn-Noranda. Using a lower cut-off of 3.0 g/t Au, resources are estimated at 106,900 t grading 6.4 g/t Au in the indicated category, and 218,800 t at 6.3 g/t Au in the inferred category. The company completed a drill program at the end of 2007. Drillhole FA-07-20 intersected 4.0 m grading 3.39 g/t Au.

Southeast Abitibi Subprovince,Abitibi-Témiscamingue Region

In 2007, in the Southeast portion of the Abitibi Subprovince, the Beaufor, Sigma, Kiena, and East Amphi mines produced gold and silver. In Malartic, on the Canadian Malartic property (Project 103), Osisko Exploration Ltd continued its defi nition drilling program within the scope of a feasibility study for an open pit mining operation. An inferred resource of 286 Mt at 0.92 g/t Au was defi ned in metasedimentary rocks and grano-diorite with disseminated pyrite. Best results include a 262.4-m interval grading 1.37 g/t Au in drillhole CM06-947. The East

Amphi mine (Project 105) operated by Richmont Mines Inc. ceased operations at the end of June due to depletion of reserves. Northeast of Malartic, Niogold Mining Corporation calculated, for the Norlartic and Kierens deposits (Project 98), an indicated resource of 845,000 t at 2.66 g/t Au and an inferred resource of 3.09 Mt at 2.72 g/t Au. Near the Marban deposit (Project 98), Niogold intersected in drillholes several gold-bearing intervals, including 6.5 g/t Au over 3.0 m in drillhole MB-07-013.

About 16 km east of Malartic, on the Midway project (Project 99), Northern Star Mining Corporation completed a major drilling program along the Cadillac Tectonic Zone. Gold mineralization was encountered in the Chabela, South Porphyry, Piché-Harvey, and Dubuisson Goldfi elds zones, where drillhole MC-07-74 intersected disseminated pyrite and tourmaline veinlets in a porphyry intrusion, grading 2.46 g/t Au over 14.3 m.

About 8 km northwest of Val-d’Or, on the Vassan property (Project 138), Stellar Pacifi c Ventures Inc. drill-tested the Hamelin Zone and two new veins (H-1, H-2), all three consist-ing of pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite-rich gold-bearing zones. Best results from vein H-1 were obtained in drillhole V2007-02, with 2.2 m grading 10.52 g/t Au and 0.47% Cu. An indicated resource of 385,054 t at a grade of 5.01 g/t Au was defi ned. At the Kiena mine complex (projects 93 and 97), located 9 km west of Val-d’Or, Wesdome Gold Mines Inc. continued develop-ment and exploration work along extensions of known zones: Martin, Shawkey 22, VC, North, and S-50, where drillhole U-4317 intersected 3.92 g/t Au over a true thickness of 6.6 m. Gold mineralization is generally associated with a quartz-albite-pyrite stockwork hosted in albitized basalts.

In the west end of Val-d’Or, Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd advanced construction of surface installations, sinking of the production shaft, and underground development on the Goldex mining project (Project 92), where reserves are estimated at 22.9 Mt at 2.3 g/t Au. The start-up of production is slated for 2008, at an annual rate of 170,000 ounces of gold. During a drilling program testing the eastern and depth extensions of the deposit, drillhole 73-366 intersected a zone grading 2.9 g/t Au over 80.0 m true thickness. The Goldex Extension ore deposit consists of a stockwork of quartz-tourmaline-pyrite veins in albite-pyrite-altered wall rocks, hosted in a quartz diorite sill.

At the Sigma-Lamaque mining complex (Project 74) held by Century Mining Corporation, operations in the Sigma open pit ceased on November 5, 2007. Mining operations began in April at a rate of 100 tpd in underground stopes at the former Lamaque mine, closed in 1984. In November, the production rate stood at 350-400 tpd at an average grade of 5.5 g/t Au. A program involving mapping, compilation, and 3,000 m of defi nition drilling is currently underway. At Lamaque, gold occurs in shallowly dipping quartz veins ranging from 5 to 90 cm in thickness.

On the Aurbel property (Project 72), located 10 km east of Val-d’Or, Alexis Minerals Corporation extracted a 50,000 t bulk sample during an underground exploration program on the Lac Herbin project, where resources total 1.07 Mt at 7.26 g/t Au. Gold zones consisting of quartz-pyrite veins are hosted in shear zones cross-cutting the Bourlamaque Batholith. Commercial production is slated to begin in 2008. Drillholes intersected the extensions of known zones and newly discovered zone, includ-ing the HW2 zone, which yielded several high-grade intervals such as 12.72 g/t Au over 2.8 m in drillhole LH03-026.

At the Beaufor mine (Project 130), located 19 km east of Val-d’Or, Richmont Mines Inc. completed a major exploration drilling program totalling 25,000 m. Underground exploration identifi ed fi ve zones below level 20 at the mine, with interest-ing gold grades such as 10.83 g/t Au over 1.6 m in drillhole 140-40 in the Q zone. The surface drilling program identifi ed new gold-bearing veins between the surface and level 12 at the mine. Zone 140 yielded a grade of 7.88 g/t over 2.0 m in drill-hole 140-48. Ore zones consist of gold-bearing quartz-pyrite veins cross-cutting the Bourlamaque Batholith.

Alexandria Minerals Corporation continued exploration work on its properties straddling the Cadillac Tectonic Zone. On the Orenada project (Project 75), drillholes intersected wide low-grade intervals such as 79 m true thickness at 0.94 g/t Au in drillhole AAX-07-11, as well as higher-grade intervals, at 11.4 g/t Au over 4.68 m in drillhole AX-07-16. Gold typically occurs in sheared and sericitized sedimentary rocks with pyrite-arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization and quartz-ankerite vein-ing. Further east on the Bloc Sud-Ouest property (Project 114), drillholes by Alexandria Minerals Corporation intersected quartz-carbonate, tourmaline and sulphide alteration zones with generally low gold grades. Best results include 1.97 g/t Au over 2.4 m in drillhole BS-07-37.

About 42 km east of Val-d’Or on the Nordeau property (Project 139), Plato Gold Corporation and Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. completed a drilling program on the Nordeau East, Nordeau West and Bateman zones. Gold occurs in shear zones with disseminated pyrite and quartz veins. Best results include a 3-m interval grading 8.27 g/t Au in drillhole PG06-11, in the Nordeau East zone. On the Croinor property (Project 33), located 70 km east of Val-d’Or, First Gold Exploration Inc. and X-Ore Resources Inc. (formerly South Malartic Exploration Inc.) conducted a drilling program, in which drillhole CR-07-384 intersected Zone 4 of the Croinor sill and yielded assay results of 5.19 g/t Au over 10.9 m. The mineral-ized zone consists of quartz veins and their altered pyrite-rich wall rocks, hosted in a diorite sill. Measured and indicated resources are estimated at 1.43 Mt at a grade of 6.31 g/t Au using a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au.

On the Dumont Nickel property (Project 113), located 20 km west of Amos, Royal Nickel Corporation is conducting a major drilling program to delineate resources on this high-

tonnage low-grade nickel deposit. North of Barraute, Abcourt Mines Inc. completed a feasibility study on the Abcourt-Barvue Zn-Ag deposit (Project 68). Open pit mineable reserves were established at 5.3 Mt at 44.79 g/t Ag and 3.15% Zn. South of Barraute, on the McKenzie Break project (Project 102), Britannica Resources Corporation completed a defi nition drilling program and reported, for drillhole MK-07-119, a 3.1-m interval grading 8.02 g/t Au in Zone 4.

On the Courville property (Project 86), located 15 km west of Senneterre, Pershimco Resources Inc. completed a drill-ing program on part of the Thibodeau Intrusive, composed of leucotonalite altered to sericite with disseminated pyrite, cut by subhorizontal quartz-sulphide veins and stockworks.

were discovered in drillholes during the year, the Morin and Lac Honorat pipes. Based on drill results, the surface expression of the two pipes was defi ned at approximately 200 m by 200 m for the Morin pipe, and 100 m by 140 m for the Lac Honorat pipe. A yellow microdiamond was recovered by caustic fusion analysis of 6.92 kg of material from the Morin pipe. The company also identifi ed at least twelve other targets based on the results of till geochemistry surveys and reverse circulation drilling.

Further south in the Grenville Province, Aurizon Mines Ltd reported results for gold, uranium, and rare earth elements (REE) on the Kipawa property (Project 57), located about 100 km south of Rouyn-Noranda. In February 2007, the com-pany announced grades of 100 g/t and 8.6 g/t Au, obtained from two samples of heavy mineral concentrates collected during a till survey. Two main zones, referred to as Snake and Eagle, were identifi ed on the property. In the Snake area, sample 63884 yielded grades of 0.20% U3O8, 0.67% Y, 0.09% light REE and 0.30% heavy REE.

Northern Abitibi Subprovince,Nord-du-Québec Region

(Figure 1B-1)

In the northern half of the Abitibi Subprovince, included within the Nord-du-Québec administrative region (Region 10), six mines were in operation: Casa Berardi (Au-Ag), Sleeping Giant (Au-Ag), Langlois (Zn-Cu-Ag-Au), Joe Mann (Au-Cu-Ag), Copper Rand (Cu-Au-Ag), and Merrill (Cu-Au-Ag).

Casa Berardi – Matagami AreaSeveral extensive exploration programs were conducted in

the area west of Matagami in 2007. At the Casa Berardi mine (projects 153 and 154), located north of Villebois, Aurizon Mines Ltd continued underground development as well as defi nition and exploration drilling in two high-grade zones (122-Deep and 123-S) discovered in 2006 in the West Mine area. One drillhole in Zone 123-S yielded a grade of 32.7 g/t Au over 13.8 m. On the Estrades property (projects 167 and 168), Cogitore Resources Inc. reported assay results of 3.12% Cu and 20.89 g/t Au over 4.40 m in drillhole EME-07, along the depth extension of the East Zone. The company commenced a feasibility study on the Estrades property, where a new resource estimate for the Main Zone was released, identifying 561,000 tonnes at an average grade of 0.72% Cu, 10.25% Zn, 0.94% Pb, 5.22 g/t Au, and 174.1 g/t Ag.

On the Fenelon project (Project 170), located 70 km west-northwest of Matagami, American Bonanza Gold

Corporation intersected gold-bearing veins in the Discovery Zone (6.15 g/t Au over 3.0 m in drillhole FA-06-27). The com-pany also drill-tested two mineralized komatiitic basalt horizons hosting thin high-grade zones within a lower-grade halo. For example, drillhole FA07-306 yielded a grade of 1.9% Ni over 0.3 m, within a wider interval of 12.0 m grading 0.16% Ni. About 30 km further west, on the La Martinière project (Project 193), American Bonanza Gold Corporation intersected in drillholes a stockwork system of silicifi cation and quartz-albite-carbonate-pyrite veining, locally grading up to 5.1 g/t Au over 4.8 m in drillhole MD-07-12.

On the Montgolfi er property (Project 211) held by J-Pacifi c Gold Inc., drillholes intersected a gold-bearing zone compris-ing quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins hosted in sedimentary rocks and banded iron formation. Best results include 6.44 g/t Au over 3.2 m in drillhole JPN07-21.

S.E.M. Vior Inc. completed a drilling program on its Douay property (Project 166), located 60 km south of Matagami. Using a lower cut-off of 0.7 g/t Au, indicated and measured resources are now estimated at 2.9 Mt grading 2.88 g/t Au, with 44.9 Mt grading 1.31 g/t Au in the inferred resource category, for the Douay West, 531, Main, Central, 92-7, and Adams Porphyry gold zones. In the Douay West zone, drillhole D-133 intersected 4.1 g/t Au over 5.0 m.

In Matagami, Xstrata Zinc Canada Corp. (formerly Falconbridge Ltd) is continuing construction of surface installations and ramp excavation at the Perseverance mine (Project 161). Commercial production is slated to begin in November 2008, at an annual rate of 228,000 tonnes of zinc concentrate, for a projected mine life of fi ve years. The ore deposit, composed of three massive sulphide lenses (Equinox, Perseverance, and Perseverance West), contains a mineral resource of 5 Mt at an average grade of 16.8% Zn, 1.3% Cu, 34 g/t Ag, and 0.4 g/t Au. Donner Metals Ltd and Xstrata Zinc Canada Corp. launched an extensive exploration and drilling program in the Matagami mining camp (Project 171), which has already resulted in the discovery of Zn-Cu-Ag-Au-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide lenses, along the Key Tuffi te and adjacent areas at Bracemac (12.47% Zn, 2.02% Cu, 94.85 g/t Ag, and 0.5 g/t Au over 21.4 m in drillhole BRC-07-47) and McLeod (8.91% Zn, 1.88% Cu, 56.4 g/t Ag, and 1.35 g/t Au over 11.42 m in drillhole MC-05-18W4).

About 35 km southeast of Matagami, on the Plateau PGE project (Project 225), Hinterland Metals Inc. completed a drill-ing program to test a mineralized zone in pyroxenitic gabbro. The company reported a 30.9-m interval grading 0.23 g/t Pt+Pd in drillhole EB07-07.

Lebel-sur-Quévillon – Desmaraisville Area

At the Langlois (Zn-Ag-Cu) mine (projects 178 and 179), located east of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, Breakwater Resources Ltd commenced commercial production on July 1st as well as construction of a ramp to access the upper part of Zone 4. A new resource estimate was calculated. Located 70 kilometres west of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, the Sleeping Giant mine (Project 157), property of IAMGOLD Québec Management Inc. (formerly Cambior Inc.), was sold to Cadiscor Resources Inc. who is planning an important exploration drilling program in 2008 from the last level at the mine (975 m). Production is expected to end in late 2008. About 45 km northwest of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, on the Discovery project (Project 149), Cadiscor Resources Inc. conducted a drilling program on the Discovery gold deposit and increased measured and indicated resources to 1.16 Mt at 5.53 g/t Au, in addition to reporting new results in the 1200E Sector, including a grade of 7.71 g/t Au over 2.0 m in drillhole BD-07-157. The company announced the start of a scoping study on the Main Area, to be followed by an under-ground exploration and bulk sampling program. On the Comtois property (Project 159), located 15 km northwest of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, Maudore Minerals Ltd drill-tested the extensions of known zones to depths of 800-900 m. Drillhole COM-07-141B intersected the inferred extension of the Osborne South zone, with a grade of 6.8 g/t Au over 6.5 m in altered felsic volcanic rocks with disseminated sulphides. A few drillholes intersected Zn-Au mineralization in felsic volcanic rocks, for example in drillhole COM-07-138, which encountered 5.1 m grading 2.3% Zn and 0.7 g/t Au.

On the Windfall Lake property (Project 235), located in the central part of the Urban-Barry belt, about 120 km east of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, Noront Resources Ltd intersected in drillholes a stockwork of gold-bearing PY-QZ veins in altered felsic volcanic rocks. Several high-grade gold intercepts were reported, such as 19.37 g/t Au over 4.0 m in drillhole NOT-07-157. The company is planning to drive an explora-tion ramp in 2008. Further west, Metanor Resources Inc. is currently extracting a bulk sample of 40,000 tonnes from the

Barry gold deposit (Project 70), where an indicated resource of 385,000 t at 4.23 g/t Au and an inferred resource of 966,000 t at 4.07 g/t Au were defi ned near surface. The mineralization is characterized by quartz-carbonate-albite veining associated with shear zones.

Near Desmaraisville, Superior Diamonds Inc. discovered several kimberlite fl oats along the southeast shore of Lac Wachigabau on the L’Espérance project (Project 201). At the former Bachelor Lake gold mine (Project 196), Metanor Resources Inc. proceeded with rehabilitation of the mill in order to process ore from the Barry gold project (Project 70).

Chapais – Chibougamau AreaSouth of Chibougamau, Campbell Resources Inc. con-

structed a decline to access ore zones at the Corner Bay deposit (Project 198) and is planning to extract a bulk sample of 42,000 tonnes at an average grade of 3.7% Cu. The Joe Mann mine (Au-Cu-Ag) ceased operations in September due to depletion of reserves. The mine (Project 190) was sold to Gold Bullion Development Corp., who launched a drilling program to test the depth extensions of known mineralized structures. Drillhole EE-188, drilled from the last level at the mine at 1,150 metres depth, encountered grades of 43.4 g/t Au, 1.96% Cu, and 15.8 g/t Ag over 2.1 m in the Main Zone, and 23.3 g/t Au, 0.30% Cu, and 13.3 g/t Ag over 0.3 m in the South Zone.

Near Chibougamau, Campbell Resources Inc. commenced production at the Merrill open pit mine (Project 219) in October, where a historical measured resource estimate of 1.1 Mt at 0.92% Cu is reported.

West of Chibougamau, on the Scott Lake property (Project 233), Cogitore Resources Inc. completed an impor-tant drilling program, resulting in the expansion of the three known Zn-Cu zones as well as the new lens discovered in 2006. Drillhole SC-15 intersected a stringer zone under the Central Lens, with grades of 1.1% Cu, 2.24% Zn, 0.2 g/t Au, and 35.7 g/t Ag over 24.8 m. Drillhole SC-18 intersected the overlying massive sulphide zone grading 8.2% Zn, 0.56% Cu, and 22.5 g/t Ag over 3.9 m.
