SUMMARY<br />
The Lightning River Property consists of 41 contiguous, nonpatented<br />
mining claims located in Lamplugh Township, <strong>Ontario</strong><br />
which forms part of the Abitibi Greenstone belt of volcanic<br />
rocks.<br />
The North Branch of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone extends<br />
through the Lightning River Property in a northwest direction<br />
dividing the property into Stoughton-Roguemaure Group of mafic<br />
volcanic rocks to the north and Hunter Mine Group of felsic<br />
volcanic rocks to the south.<br />
After the discovery of the McDermott deposit in Holloway Township<br />
in 1984, an exploration program in the summer of 1986 on the<br />
Lightning River Property by Pronto Explorations Limited consisted<br />
of ground magnetometer, VLP-BM surveys, gold and arsenic humus<br />
geochemistry and geological mapping.<br />
The 1987 diamond drilling program by Pronto drilled five sections<br />
of six drill holes for 1598 metres on the property to investigate<br />
for gold along the North Branch of the Destor-Porcupine Fault<br />
Zone which occurs along the transition between magnesium-rich<br />
tholiitic basalt, iron-rich tholiitic basalts to the north and<br />
felsic volcanics to the south. On sections BE and 15E four zones<br />
of carbonate-silicifled alteration occur along the main fault<br />
zone. The best values on section 8E in Hole No. LR-87-1 are 73
