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<br />

property into Stoughton-Roquemaure 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, VLF-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 8E and 15E four zones<br />

of carbonate-silicified alteration occur along the main fault<br />

zone. The best values on section 8E in Hole No. LR-87-1 are 73
