Irish-style Zinc Deposits (Cross-Section)




Metal-rich fluids migrate up steep faults and mix with saline solutions at the base of the Waulsortian limestone
Base of the Waulsortian tends to undergo dolomitization (introduction of magnesium) and brecciation
(fragmentation) – creating BMB (black matrix breccia)
Very rarely – late stage (or ‘bleeder’) veins man develop
Pyrite, copper or other metals can also occur disseminated within and around the deposits

Appendix
Notes:
(1) Historic drill results have not been verified by a qualified person as the samples forming the basis of such
results are not available to G11, and accordingly no quality assurance programs or quality control measures
were applied by G11.
(2) Results from drill hole DDH-4503-1 have been verified by Paul Gordon, who is a qualified person for the
purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and who is independent of G11. Collection of drill data has been
supervised by Paul Gordon. Mr. Gordon carried out the core logging, marked up the drill core for sampling
and directly received the analytical results from ALS Laboratories, Ireland. The following quality assurance
program and quality control measures were applied: Certified reference materials (CRMs or ‘Standards’)
and blanks were inserted into the sample stream, at a rate of approximately one in ten. The exact number
of samples between each QA/QC sample is deliberately varied, to avoid an obviously detectable pattern.
CRMs were sourced from two different accredited and industry-recognised sources, OREAS Laboratories
and Geostats Pty. The quality assurance protocol requires that the laboratory return a value for the CRMs
not varying by more than three times the certified standard deviation from the certified mean for Zn, Pb
and Ag. The ALS values returned for the CRMs were all within one standard deviation of the certified
mean, for all elements. The samples were tested at ALS Laboratories, Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland,
which is independent of G11.
(3) Results from grab samples have been verified by John Barry, a qualified person for the purposes of
National Instrument 43-101 and who is a Director of G11. The rock grab samples from Castlemaine and
Pierce’s Island were delivered by G11 directly via an international courier company to ALS Laboratories.
The following quality assurance program and quality control measures were applied: the sample was
photographed, numbered and packaged by G11 prior to shipping. The sample was tested at ALS
Laboratories, Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland, which is independent of G11.
(4) Results from XRF from spot core samples have been verified by John Barry, a qualified person for the
purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and who is a Director of G11. XRF analyses were collected by
Aurum Geological, a geological consultant independent of G11. The following quality assurance program
and quality control measures were applied: the collection of analyses were overseen by John Barry.

Appendix - Fresh Thinking to Exploration

Deep Soils / Bedrock Interface
Sampling

RAB sampling (machine allows for inexpensive bog/base of till/bedrock
sampling, no trenching required)
C$28/m, up to 100m depth (per 12hr shift), cuts through till, ideal for bog (no
disturbance)

Never tried before in Ireland (hoping to identify bleeder veins in first 100m of
depth)
Multi-element Soils and UV –
pick up manganese halos

Manganese alteration - similar to AMOM alteration of CRDs in Mexico
3D Seismic

Advancements in technology make it more cost-effective than in the past
Carbon and Oxygen Isotopes


Very good prospecting tool in Mexican CRDs (likely to be here as well)
Significantly cheaper now than in the past ($20/sample vs. >$100 previously, via
new system at UBC)

Adrok Group Ltd - “a quiet revolution in subsurface exploration”
Atomic diaelectric resonance (ADR), used by NASA and being used by
exploration companies in Ireland, Canada, UK, USA, Australia, etc.
High-resolution IP/res
Geophysics
Low Detection Limits
Best Practice Database
Compilation


Makes possible water/bio sampling (similar to work by Fission Energy which led
to discovery)

New government website (GOLDMINE) – all historic documents now digitized
and ‘keyword’ searchable

Zinc – Long Term View

Management believes that zinc inventories over the next few years could be drawn down to levels seen in 2006 –
2008, implying much higher prices

Zinc prices peaked in late 2007 at US$2.08/lb
