Numerous rivers flow into the bay; many of these have been developed for hydroelectric power in Quebec (see , Quebec. Golden Tag can earn up to 60% interest in the Property from Sirios (50%) and SOQUEM Inc. (50%). At any time Sirios will keep at least a 40% interest in the property (see news release of November 20, 2003 for details). The purpose of the Golden Tag program was to review the geological ge·ol·o·gy n. pl. ge·ol·o·gies 1. The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the earth. 2.

Several grab samples Noun 1. grab sample - a single sample or measurement taken at a specific time or over as short a period as feasible sample - a small part of something intended as representative of the whole were taken over historical showings and returned assays greater than 100 g/T Au. Prospecting to the east of previous work has identified a new gold showing - the Red Toad showing - which returned significant assays in two grab samples, 1691 g/T Au and 153 g/T Au. Known showings were examined and several were sampled during the program yielding the following results:

These results extend the previously known mineralization trends
within these areas. During the course of the program, a new high-
grade gold showing was found - Red Toad Showing - located
approximately 500 meters to the east of the bulk of previous
trenching work conducted on the property. A more continuous series
of quartz veins anomalous in gold has been traced over a 500-meter
strike length within a large intrusive tonalite in this area. The
tonalite lies within the eastern extension of the previously mapped
and laterally extensive Wolf Fault. Significant results returned from
this area include:

The Aquilon Project covers 6,370 hectares of a folded, highly
deformed greenstone belt hosting a felsic volcanic center with
auriferous mineralization. Previous work conducted by Sirios and
SOQUEM (1997-2003) outlined numerous relatively short, shallow-
dipping high-grade ( greater than 20 g/T Au) quartz veins within the
4 km x 400 meter NE-oriented Wolf Fault. Very high gold assays have
been returned from some of these veins: 287.4 g/T Au over 2.3 m and
110.2 g/T Au over 3.49 m. Three main types of mineralization have
been reported on the property:
1) High-grade gold veins within felsic rocks along the Wolf Fault:
Lingo, Grenouille I-II, Moman, Fleur-de-Lys, MA-1, Ete Indien,
Muscovite, Isabelle, Elle, Nouska, Z-1, Norvin and Samba showings.
2) Low-grade gold-copper-zinc disseminated sulfide associated with
formational geophysical conductors: Sortileges Dores, Small Moose,
Choco, Blueberry Wolf, SL, and Chicoutai showings
3) Auriferous disseminated sulfides and quartz veins in mafic
volcanic rocks injected by felsic dikes in the hinge of megafolds:
Sortileges Dores showings.
