Note: According to new guidelines set out by the TSE Mining Standards Task Force Final Report, January 1999, and similar "international guidelines" put out by various regulatory bodies worldwide, a stringent quality control program is essential for compiling reliable exploration data, especially during drilling programs. For all future work, Medinah should ensure that sample preparation and quality control procedures are well organized to monitor the accuracy and precision of analytical results, to detect possible sample contamination, and to add confidence to future resource estimates. In addition to the laboratories’ in-house quality assurance program, each sample batch sent to a laboratory should include: sample duplicates (1 in 20 samples), assay duplicates (at least 1 per batch), multi-element standards (at least 1 per batch), and blank standards (at least 1 per batch). In addition inter-laboratory preparation and analytical checks should be completed through the sampling phase of the drill program. Also, during the core logging process all core should be photographed prior to cutting and the geological logging should be preceded by geotechnical logging (percent recovery, RQD, fractures, etc.). In addition, to assist in future resource estimates, specific gravity measurements should be taken at representative intervals along the length of the hole and all drill hole collar locations should be surveyed at the completion of the drill program and down-hole strike and dip deviation tests should be taken at reasonable intervals down each hole during the drilling program.

The most recent drill program was successful in that five of the six drill holes intersected the breccia pipe, tracing further down its plunge to the south southeast and along strike, mainly to the east. The breccia can now be traced approximately 400 metres from surface down its 62º south southeast trending plunge. Hole L00-17 was planned to be the deepest intercept on section "EF", but was terminated early due to drilling difficulties and never reached the target depth. The breccia still remains open down its plunge and to the east, and at deeper levels (below the 1800 metre level), to the west. More drilling will be required to more accurately define the eastern and western boundaries. At the end of his report House recommended that another program of diamond drilling be initiated, further testing the eastern, western and depth extent of the breccia. The program would include six diamond drill holes (each pre-collared by reverse circulation drilling down to depths of about 300 metres), totaling approximately 3,500 metres. The approximate cost for this program was estimated to be US$320,000.

In addition, in the volcanosedimentary rocks surrounding the batholith, or close to its contact, occur several copper deposits such as the Lo Aguirre (stratabound exhalative) and La Africana (vein) deposits both currently held by Soc. Minera Pudahuel. The locations of some of these prospects and deposits are shown on Figure 2.1. Even though most of the old mines and showings in the area have seen intermittent mining activity over the past hundred years or so, they remain relatively under explored and today are only present as prospects. The Lo Aguirre Mine is currently in production and produces 4,000 tonnes per day from a newly developed underground operation replacing a depleted open pit operation (Compendio de la Mineria Chilena, 1998).

5.1 LIPANGUE PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The western portion of the Lipangue Property is underlain by a generally north striking, east dipping volcano-sedimentary sequence of rocks which corresponds to the Ocoa and Purehue Members of the Veta Negro Formation, and which, to the east, is intruded by granodiorite of the central batholith (see Figure 5.2). In the areas mapped by Medinah, the andesite consists of massive and feldspar porphyritic andesite, with a matrix of quartz, amphibole, biotite, and minor hematite and magnetite. Generally they are variably propylitized and silicified and are mineralized with accessory epidote, hematite and magnetite. The contact zone with the granodiorite runs roughly north-south through the central portion the property, between the Lo Amarillo and Cerro Negro knolls. Andesite close to this contact is generally hornfelsed and silicified. The granodiorite which underlies the eastern two thirds of the plateau consists of gray, fine-to-medium grained, hypidiomorphic rock. In most places it is variably propylitized with chlorite, epidote, and carbonate common. In addition, amphiboles within the granodiorite are commonly replaced by biotite and fine magnetite (House, 1999a).

A small gabbro stock, measuring about 100 metres in diameter intrudes the andesite near the peak of the Cerro Negro knoll. Its contacts with the andesite are not exposed and therefore its relationship to the andesite and granodiorite remains unclear (House, 1999a).

The main gold and copper (+/-silver) mineralization at Lipangue is hosted in the Lipangue hydrothermal breccia pipe, which on surface occurs as an east-west elongate, ovoid shaped body that outcrops over an area measuring roughly 150 to 200 metres (east-west) and up to 100 metres wide. Float material of the breccia is widely dispersed and covers a much larger area (400 metres by 250 metres). The breccia is hosted within granodiorite of the central batholith, at the contact with massive andesite (see Figures 4.1 and 5.2). On surface the breccia is well exposed in only two trenches where it is heavily oxidized and consists of rounded to subangular clasts of intensely altered granodiorite, cemented by a matrix of vuggy crystalline quartz and limonite and iron-oxides.

To date all of the drilling completed by Medinah (holes L99-01 to L00-18) has been in a fairly restricted area, with all of the holes occurring within a 360 metres radius of each other (see Figure 4.1). Fourteen of the 18 holes have intersected the breccia, and these 14 holes have been drilled on 5, north-south oriented, irregularly spaced sections (separated by 25 to 50 metres) which cover a 150 metre east-west distance (see Figures 5.3 to 5.5). Below surface the breccia has an ovoid pipe shape which is elongate to the northeast, and which plunges to the south southeast at about -62º. Drilling has traced it from surface, approximately 400 metres down its plunge.

The six drill holes that were completed during the most recent phase of exploration were drilled on sections "E", "E+50", and "EF" (see Figures 5.3 to 5.5). The interpretation of those sections is discussed below. Sections with previously drilled holes (Sections "DE+50", "E+25", and "F") have not been updated with new data and therefore are not discussed in this report, however a detailed interpretation can be found in Cinits, 2000.

Drill section "Line E" (see Figure 5.3) crosses the breccia at its widest point where it is approximately 75 to 90 metes in width and has an apparent dip of approximately –60º to the south. Along this section, the breccia has been traced from surface, almost 400 metres down its apparent dip by drill holes L99-07, 6, 3, 8, L00-11 and most recently L00-16. Below the oxidation level (which ranges between 20 and 50 metres in depth), to a vertical depth of about 250 metres, the breccia consists of rounded and sub-angular clast and matrix supported fragments of altered granodiorite (varying amounts of fine disseminated and coarse "earthy" chlorite, along with sericite, silica, clay +/-pyrophyllite and traces of alunite?). The fragments are set in a matrix of finer grained fragments and flour, along with coarse crystalline vuggy quartz, 1 to 15% coarse anhedral blebs of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and in places chalcocite (replacing chalcopyrite), sphalerite, and galena. Fine disseminated pyrite (trace to 5%), and lesser amounts of chalcopyrite are common throughout the granodiorite fragments. Late quartz veinlets, generally less than a centimetre in width, cut the breccia in places, and are mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite, and at times chalcocite, sphalerite and galena. Although the breccia is almost continually mineralized across its width, the intensity of both alteration and sulphide mineralization is variable. The most intense sulphide mineralization usually occurs near the hanging wall contact. In most holes a 10 to 30 metre wide halo of pyritization and sericitization occurs in the granodiorite in the immediate hanging and footwall of the breccia.

The only hole on Section E from the most recent drilling phase, L00-16, was drilled 50 metres south of hole L00-11 and is the deepest intercept on the section. The drill hole intersected the breccia almost 50 metres deeper than expected which could be interpreted as a sudden steepening in the breccias apparent dip, or faulting. Since the two drill sections to the east (sections "E + 50" and "EF") showed no change in the apparent dip of the breccia at the same approximate elevation, a northwest trending, northeast dipping reverse fault was interpreted (see Figure 5.3).

Hole L00-16 intersected the breccia at approximately 300 metres vertical depth, where the nature of the silicification is somewhat different from the coarse crystalline quartz crystals and open vuggs typical of the upper levels of the breccia. The silicification in hole L00-16 consists of moderate-to-strong pervasive silicification throughout the matrix and fragments of the breccia and as cross-cutting smokey quartz veinlets. In addition, sericite alteration was much stronger at this depth. At approximately 346 metres drilled depth, the hydrothermal breccia changes to an intrusive breccia with well defined heterolithic fragments in a fine-grained, felsic porphyritic, intrusive matrix. Alteration is pervasive throughout both the matrix and the fragments as K-feldspar, sericite, clay, carbonate and minor pyrophyllite. Chlorite, although present as fine disseminated specks is much less prevalent than in the upper portions of the breccia. Sulphide content is also much less in the intrusive breccia and occurs as fine disseminated pyrite cubes and irregular shaped specks along with minor traces of chalcopyrite. This decrease in sulphide content is reflected by the lack of significant assays returned from this intrusive breccia interval.

Analyses completed by Medinah on the previous and recent diamond drill holes indicate that within the Section E, the hydrothermal breccia is anomalously mineralized over most of its entire width, with significant weighted averages of gold, silver, and copper as shown below, and on Figure 5.3.

An approximately 15 to 20 metre wide zone of higher grade mineralization occurs in the breccia at, or close to the hanging wall contact with the granodiorite on this section starting at the base of the oxidation level and continuing about 170 metres down the apparent dip of the breccia to an elevation of about 1800 metres (see Figure 5.3). Below this depth the width and grade of the high grade zone appear to decrease significantly, as indicated by the assays yielded from drill holes L00-11 and 16. Towards surface, the zone does not continue into the oxidation zone, and becomes almost flat lying at a depth of about 50 metres vertical. The grade of the high grade zone averages roughly 2.5 to 3.0 grams gold/tonne, 25 to 35 grams silver/tonne, and 0.7 to 0.8% copper over a 170 metre "down-dip" distance. This high grade zone may be a result of various factors such as: supergene enrichment, faulting and fracturing, and zones of porosity and permeability within the breccia pipe. Often margins of a pipe can host higher grade zones where imbricated breccia fragments with a vertical orientation are abundant (Baker et. al, 1986). In addition, many pipes are originally emplaced along a zone of structural weakness such as a fault zone, or intersection of two faults, and repeated pulses of hydrothermal activity can continue along these same conduits thereby creating more intensely altered and/or mineralized zones. Further, more detailed structural and thin section studies of the existing core and core from future drill programs should assist in determining this control. Significant weighted averages across this high grade zone include:

DRILL SECTION "E+50"

Drill section "E + 50" occurs 50 metres east of Section "E" (see Figure 5.4) and includes hole L00-12 from the previous drilling campaign and holes L00-13 and 15 from this most recent program. Drill hole L00-12 crossed through almost 150 metres of propylitically altered granodiorite from surface, with increasing silica and chlorite alteration, and disseminated magnetite noted below 100 metres drilled depth. At about 146 metres a narrow (2 metre wide) zone of igneous breccia was intersected, which might correlate with the much thicker igneous breccia from the hanging wall of the main breccia pipe in hole P99-05 from one of the earlier drill programs (see Cinits, 2000). Although disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and traces of chalcocite were noted in the igneous breccia and surrounding granodiorite, no significant assays were returned until 158 metres depth, 3 metres above the main breccia contact. This intersection point occurs at a vertical depth of about 150 metres (almost 200 metres down the apparent dip of the breccia) and the hole remained in the breccia until a drilled depth of 254 metres (true width of about 75 metres). Although the mineralogy of the breccia was more or less similar to the other first and second phase holes, a series of 1 to 7 metre wide (drilled width), fine grained, intensely sericitized and carbonatized granodioritic dikes were crossed in the lower half of the breccia. The orientation of these dikes is not certain but it indicates that there was repeated intrusive activity in the area.

The size and geometry of the breccia intersected in hole L00-12 is very similar to that on Section E, 50 metres to the west, but quite different from that in drill hole L99-05 on the previous section (see Cinits, 2000). It is possible that additional late, subvertical granodioritic dikes and intrusives, similar to those in hole L00-12, have intruded the breccia in the hanging wall portion of hole L99-05 therefore disrupting its geometry.

Hole L00-12 intersected a significant hanging wall high grade zone which yielded the following analytical results:

Below this high grade zone, two additional, but much lower grade zones were intersected in hole L00-12, which included:

Drill hole L00-13 was collared 50 metres south of hole 12 and drilled in the same orientation (see Figure 5.4). The hole intersected the breccia at a depth of about 221 metres and continued in it until about 325 metres. The upper half of the intercept was typical of the alteration and mineralization from the earlier drill programs with strong sericite-chlorite alteration and coarse blebby pyrite, minor chalcopyrite and some localized zones with black sooty chalcocite replacing chalcopyrite. Below 266 metres, the chlorite alteration becomes much less dominant, and pervasive silicification increases, with less of the open vuggs and coarse quartz common in the earlier holes. Gold, silver, and copper values remained continually anomalous across the entire breccia interval and averaged:

A single, one metre wide very high grade zone was returned from within this interval which assayed:

Drill hole L00-15 was collared 50 metres south of L00-13 on the same section and was drilled in the same orientation (see Figure 5.4). The breccia was intersected at a drilled depth of about 290 metres to about 383 metres. The majority of the breccia showed very strong chlorite-quartz plus sericite-pyrophyllite alteration, and local zones of strong carbonate alteration, which was quite different from the lower half of the intercept yielded from hole L00-13, about 60 metres up-dip. Similar to previous holes sulphide mineralization consisted of coarse blebby and fine disseminated pyrite and lesser amounts of chalcopyrite. In addition, between 314 and 321 metres were noted numerous late, low angle quartz veinlets (1-3mm wide), mineralized with fine specks of sphalerite, galena, pyrite, and chalcopyrite. These late veinlets were cross-cutting the breccia, and indicate that more than one pulse of hydrothermal activity occurred at Lipangue.

Several late, light gray, fine-grained, felsic (dacitic) dikes were noted between 352 and 376 metres drilled depth. These dikes are strongly carbonatized and contain no significant sulphide mineralization.

Similar to hole L00-13, the gold, silver, and copper analytical results from hole L00-15 remained continually anomalous across the entire breccia interval and averaged:

Drill section "EF" (see Figure 5.5) includes hole L99-04 from a previous drilling campaign and holes L00-14, 17, and 18 from this most recent program. Drill hole L99-04 was part of the first drill program in 1999 and was drilled to test an IP anomaly in an attempt to trace the breccia to the east. Very little background information regarding the geometry of the breccia was known at that time and the drill hole failed to intersect the target. The IP/resistivity survey, completed in 1998 clearly indicates that a polarized body continues to the east, at least 400 metres past line E, and that it also plunges steeply in this direction (see Cinits, 2000). Modeling also indicates that by Line G, the top of the anomaly occurs at a depth of about 120 metres. This anomaly quite likely represents a halo of pyritization and silicification in the host granodiorite peripheral to the breccia, or possibly the westward continuation of the plunging breccia where it could evolve into a narrower fault controlled breccia-dike along strike to the east. This is supported by the narrower shape of the IP anomaly on line G. Hole L99-04 may have been collared south of the up-dip projection of the breccia and since the hole was angled south, at -60º, it remained parallel to the apparent dip of the breccia and never intersected it (see Figure 5.5). Instead, the hole crossed an interval of variably propylitized and weakly fractured and mineralized granodiorite peripheral to the breccia. It is now known that the breccia occurs on this section, but at a much deeper level, as shown by the intercepts yielded from drill holes L00-14 and L00-18 during the most recent drill program. The breccia was intersected by hole L00-18, approximately 150 metres vertically below the end of hole L99-04 (see Figure 5.5), and it still remains unknown how far up-dip the breccia will continue on this section.

Holes L00-14, 17, and 18 were all drilled to the north at a dip of -70º. Hole L00-14 crossed about 345 metres of variably propylitized and sericitized granodiorite before intersecting an approximately 15 metre wide halo of increased sericitization and pyritization which occurs immediately above the breccia zone at 363 metres. The upper 10 to 15 metres of the breccia was logged by Medinah as an intrusive breccia, or brecciated granodiorite, consisting of subangular granodiorite fragments set in a matrix of fine-grained felsic intrusive, rock flour, and coarse blebs of pyrite, and some chalcopyrite. The interval is strongly sericitized and silicified with moderate amounts of carbonatization. A few chalcedony veinlets and fragments were noted in the interval. The upper contact zone with the granodiorite was strongly mineralized and returned highly anomalous gold, silver, and copper values including:

The underlying "true" hydrothermal breccia was notably thinner than on the previous sections possibly due to the fact that this section crosses the breccia near its interpreted eastern end. The breccia was first intersected at about 374 metres and persisted until 400 metres. The alteration noted in this interval was significantly different than in all previous drill holes, consisting of pervasive buff to gray coloured phyllic (quartz-sericite) plus K-feldspar alteration, and much less of the chlorite alteration which predominates in the other drill holes. The silicification consists of moderate-to-strong pervasive silicification throughout the matrix and fragments of the breccia and as late cross-cutting smokey quartz veinlets. The coarse crystalline quartz crystals and open vuggs which are so common in the upper levels, is much less evident in this interval. At about 398 metres depth several coarse crystals of fluorite were noted in the breccia matrix, which had not been known to occur in any of the previous drill holes. Sulphides throughout the breccia interval still occur as coarse blebby pyrite and some chalcopyrite along with occasional specks of sphalerite, galena, and molybdenite.

The entire breccia interval (including the upper intrusive breccia) returned consistently anomalous gold, silver, and copper values, yielding a weighted average of:

A second higher grade interval was intersected near the base of the breccia, which yielded:

Hole L00-18 was drilled 50 metres north of hole L00-14 and intersected the breccia approximately 60 metres further up its apparent dip (see Figure 5.5). Similar to hole L00-14, a zone of increased sericitization and pyritization was crossed in the granodiorite immediately above a 13 metre wide zone of intrusive breccia, which was intersected at about 304 metres drilled depth. Alteration and sulphide mineralization in these zones was very similar to that described for hole L00-14, except for an increase in pyrophyllite mineralization noted in hole L00-18. No significant analytical results were returned from the intrusive breccia zone in hole L00-18. The underlying hydrothermal breccia was intersected at about 313 metres depth and continued until 354 metres. Once again the alteration was very similar to hole L00-14, with strong pervasive buff to gray coloured phyllic (quartz-sericite) alteration, and a marked decrease in chlorite alteration which is so strong in many of the other drill holes. The hydrothermal breccia interval in hole L00-18 yielded a weighted average of:

Two narrow higher grade zones were returned from the upper and middle portions of the hydrothermal breccia yielding the following results:

Drill hole L00-17 was designed to intersect the breccia at the deepest level to date, at a depth of roughly 500 metres down the apparent dip of the breccia. The hole was collared 50 metres south of hole L00-14 and oriented in the same azimuth dip (see Figure 5.5), but unfortunately encountered numerous problems with broken and fractured ground and was eventually abandoned at a depth of about 324 metres, roughly 90 metres above the projected target depth.

The 18 drill holes that have been completed to date by Medinah have revealed a great deal more information about the geometry, alteration, and grades of the breccia pipe. The latest round of 6 drill holes has penetrated the breccia at its deepest levels to date, and has uncovered some distinctly different alteration suites than at higher elevations. Based on the work completed to date, the following conclusions can be drawn:

1. The breccia pipe has a consistent ovoid shape between the 1900 and 1600 metre levels which is elongate to the northeast (see Figure 6.1). On each of these four levels the breccia extends approximately 150 to 200 metres along its northeast trending axis and 50 to 70 metres in width. (Note: an interpreted northwest trending fault offsets the western edge of the breccia on the deepest two levels.). The breccia’s plunge is roughly 62º to the south southeast. The pipe remains open to the west below the 1800 metre level and to the east at all levels, and down plunge.
2. The surface exposure is highly leached and contains only weak geochemical levels of gold, silver, and copper. A 15 to 20 metre wide zone of supergene enrichment with a possible structural control, follows the hanging wall contact of the breccia starting from the base of the oxidation level (about 40 to 50 metres depth), roughly 170 metres down plunge to the 1800 metre level below. Gold, silver, and copper values are enriched in this zone. Below the 1800 metre level the high grade zone disappears, but gold, silver, and copper values remain consistently anomalous across the entire width of the breccia, with occasional 2 to 8 metre wide higher grade zones within the main breccia.
3. The upper levels of the breccia are mineralized predominantly with pyrite and chalcopyrite (along with chalcocite replacing chalcopyrite) and minor amounts of sphalerite, galena, and traces of molybdenite and bornite. The alteration is dominated by coarse crystalline quartz with open vuggs, chlorite, and sericite, with varying amounts of calcite, K-feldspar epidote, clay, and pyrophyllite. At depth (below 1700 metres) some of the holes start to show a change in the alteration to pervasive silicification and cross-cutting smokey quartz veinlets with strong phyllic (quartz-sericite) alteration and increasing carbonatization. Chlorite, although still present and locally strong, no longer dominates as one of the principal alteration types. Sulphide mineralization content appears to have decreased slightly at depth.
4. The breccia is rimmed by a zone of pyritization and sericitization in the host granodiorite and by zones of sericitized and silicified intrusive breccia that are variable in intensity and at times seem to grade into the hydrothermal breccia.
5. The concept of an hidden, underlying, or adjacent copper mineralized porphyry is still a possibility, and should remain as one of Medinah’s exploration target objectives.
6. The Lipangue polymetallic breccia pipe still represents a good target to host underground, bulk mineable, gold-copper-silver mineralization. Even though the breccia has been intersected by 14 drill holes, it is still in fairly early stages of drill definition and Medinah believes that with an additional exploration program the potential size of this target can be increased. Medinah’s recently increased land position at Lipangue covers the strike and down dip extent of the breccia and leaves sufficient ground to define new targets along strike or on other parts of the property. A large percentage of this property has only been reviewed on a preliminary basis, or not at all, and should be further explored, since the potential exists for additional breccia style mineralization or even porphyry copper mineralization.

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

Phase I

-a magnetic survey should be completed over the entire gridded area (approximately 116 line kilometres) therefore generating new drill targets and a model to apply for regional exploration purposes; interpretation of the data to look for zones of structural dilation created by the intersection of major structural trends or post mineral faults which could control the location of additional breccia style mineralization, and signatures typical of porphyry style mineralization which could be associated with the breccia at depth; a preliminary interpretation of the magnetics should be completed prior to starting the IP survey, so that additional IP/resistivity lines can be planned over any resulting magnetic anomalies. It would be advantageous to incorporate the magnetic results in the structural interpretation.

- IP/resistivity should be completed over areas of magnetic anomalies.

As part of the diamond drill program and all of the sampling programs it is highly recommended that Medinah initiate a full quality assurance program to ensure that the highest level of confidence is maintained for all of their exploration results and that all standards set by various regulatory bodies are met. The surface location of all drill holes should be permanently marked and surveyed and down hole deviation tests completed at regular intervals during the drilling process.
