    Evangeline Property

    During the following years, geophysical and geological surveys were carried out sporadically on the property and confirmed the continuity of the gold structures. During 1979-1980, sampling of the rock dump around the shaft yielded values from trace to 28.45 g/t Au. In 1984, sampling was executed on the main showing area and the best values obtained ranged from 10.28 g/t Au to 123.75 g/t Au. In 1992, thirty three (33) samples were collected on the West showing and the East showing and were analysed for gold. The best assays were obtained in the shaft area where 2 samples returned values of 31,423 ppb Au associated with a quartz vein with 3-5% pyrite and 3,089 ppb Au associated with a quartzite containing 1-2% pyrite. Eight (8) others samples mineralized with either up to 15-50% pyrite or up to 50% arsenopyrite returned values between 150 ppb Au and 950 ppb Au in the same area.

    In 2003 and 2004, a prospector executed extensive sampling on showing West (Pit Island) and East (Bob Tough Shaft) of Evangeline property. The best grab sample collected west of the shaft returned 13.85 g/t Au. At 500m north of the west showing on Pit Island, 2 grab samples returned 1.78 g/t Au and 3.01 g/t Au. On the west showing, a grab sample returned 28.2 g/t Au. At 350m south of the west showing, a sample returned 3.44 g/t Au and 500m south of the west showing a sample returned 1.71 g/t Au. Between west and east showings, two (2) collected samples returned 5.40 g/t Au (#04-13) and 2.42 %Cu (#04-12). A sample taken in the shaft area returned 20.5 g/t Au and 0.9% Cu. Exploration in the mine shaft area was continued in 2014 and 9 samples (#1 to 9) were collected but only 5 of these samples were sent for analysis and returned 978 ppb Au, 314 ppb Au, 215 ppb Au, 460 ppb Au and 929 ppb Au (Figure 2).

    The Property is located within a favorable geological and structural environment already hosting several gold-bearing zones. An exploration program including geological and geophysical surveys is necessary to generate targets for more detailed exploration works.

    Meanwhile, Petrolympic is preparing an exploration program on the Vauquelin property in Quebec. Based on the last results, a drilling program will be executed in order to extend the gold bearing structures already found on the property and in order to test geophysical targets to find new mineralized zones.
