1 SUMMARY

1.1 Introduction

This Technical Report provides an independent review of the mineralization on the Hook Bay Property (Property) for Canadian International Pharma Corp. (CIPC), a Canadian company involved in mineral exploration and development. The Property is located in British Columbia, Canada in the Alberni Mining Division on Vancouver Island.

The Hook Bay Property is characteristic of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and copper-goldmolybdenum porphyry style mineralization.

This report was prepared by Luke van der Meer, P. Geo. Van der Meer is an independent qualified person (QP) as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43‐101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and as described in Section 28 (Date and Signature Page) of this report.

1.2 Property Ownership

The Property consists of one unpatented mineral claim covering 1,078.85 ha. The online registry currently shows that the Hook Bay mineral claim is 100% owned and registered in the name of James Rogers.

There is a bare trust agreement in place between Longford Capital Corp. (Longford Capital) and Rogers dated February 1, 2020; it names Rogers as the bare trustee of the Hook Bay claim for Longford Capital, the Beneficial Owner.

As of the date of this report, the claim is in good standing.

CIPC (the Optionee) and Longford Capital (the Optionor) are parties to an option agreement dated October 30, 2020 pursuant to which Longford Capital has agreed to grant CIPC an exclusive option to acquire 100% undivided right, title, ownership, and beneficial interest in and to the Hook Bay Property, free and clear of any encumbrances for the following considerations:

  • Within five days of closing date, issue 2.2 million shares to Longford Capital and provide cash payment of $50,000.

  • Within 30 days of closing date, complete a minimum of $100,000 expenditure on the Property.

  • Within 18 months of the closing date, complete an additional $300,000 expenditure on the Property and issue 500,000 shares to Longford Capital.

As part of this agreement, the Optionor shall be granted a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the Hook Bay Property claim following commencement of commercial production. The Optionee may exercise the right to reduce the NSR to 1% at any time prior to commencement of commercial production by making a cash payment of $1.5 million to the Optionor.

In addition to the terms outlined here, the option agreement contains a 5 km area-of-interest provision pursuant to which any claims staked by either party (Optionor or Optionee) within 5 km of the Hook Bay Property boundary (as defined by the Hook Bay Property claim) will automatically be included in the agreement and subject to the NSR.

There are no other royalties, back-in rights, payments, or other agreements to which the Hook Bay Property is subject.

1.3 Property Description

The Property is located approximately 34 km south of the town of Port Alberni along Alberni Inlet, near Nahmint Bay, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The Property lies in the Alberni Mining Division within NTS map sheets 092F 006 and 092F 016 and is centred at approximately 49°5.6'N latitude, 124°52.9'W longitude.

1.4 Status of Exploration

The first documented work at the Hook Bay Property was carried out in 1982 on the Contented Claim Group (consisting of the Contented 1 and Contented 2 claims) held by Mattagami Lake Exploration Ltd. (Mattagami). Noranda Exploration Company, Ltd. (Noranda Exploration), who optioned the Property from Mattagami, carried out a geological mapping and geochemical soil sampling program during which two zones of mineralization (Zone 1 and Zone 2) were defined and staked as the Contented Claim Group. Samples of disseminations, fracture fillings, veinlets, massive pods of pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite in sheared basalts returned values up to 36.85 g/t Ag and 5.8% Cu. Soil sampling carried out over Zone 1 produced poor and sporadic copper anomalies; the highest returned assays were 220 ppm Cu, one isolated sample returning 80 ppb Au, and no anomalous silver values. The second area identified by Noranda Exploration, referred to as Zone 2, was characterized by a 10 cm wide flat-lying pyrrhotite-pyritechalcopyrite vein that appeared to follow a basalt lapilli tuff contact. Samples of this vein returned assays of 0.54 oz/t Ag and 8.4% Cu. Soil geochemistry was reportedly inconsistent over Zone 1 suggesting a sporadic nature of mineralization, whereas several strong copper anomalies (up to 960 ppm) were defined in Zone 2. The soil sampling in the vicinity of Zone 2 identified the following four anomalous areas off road 2500:

  • Area 1: 50 m, 220 to 420 ppm Cu

  • Area 2: 250 m, 390 to 580 ppm Cu

  • Area 3: spot anomaly, 960 ppm Cu

  • Area 4: spot anomaly, 260 to 760 ppm Cu

In December 2010, Del Ferguson (Ferguson) staked Hookie Claim (near Hook Bay 1 showing) and the Cookie Claim (closer to Cook Creek) which comprised the Hook Bay Property. Road construction continued into 2011 which resulted in the discovery of local malachite stains by Ferguson along a newly constructed road.

Ferguson commissioned Aztec Geoscience Inc. (Aztec Geoscience) to carry out exploration work over the claim group between 2011 and 2013. Work consisted of prospecting, mapping, and soil sampling. Aztec Geoscience identified a local, 25 m wide zone of sheared and iron-stained basalts which were bounded by two faults, both striking 230° and containing quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite-hematite veinlets spaced 0.5 to1 m apart. On the west side of the zone, a 30 cm wide vein (lens) of massive chalcopyrite-pyritepyrrhotite was identified; it appeared to follow a similar strike. A grab sample from the lens (DD-1) returned assays of 5.995% Cu and 18.2 g/t Ag.

In March 2020, Longford Exploration Services Ltd. (Longford Exploration) completed a 12-day geological mapping, prospecting, and sampling program. The 2020 field program set out to validate historical sample grades, test Property access, and understand the mineralization pathways within the Karmutsen basalts relating to the intrusive granodiorite of the Island Plutonic Suite. During the field program, 39 rock grab samples were collected across the Property, 280 soil samples were collected at a 25 × 25 m grid spacing, and 14 stream sediment samples were collected from north and south of the Cook Creek drainage.

The 2020 field program returned significantly higher grades than had previously been sampled along road 250J in 2014. Three rock samples (3294560, 3294564 and 3294559) assayed 2.12% Cu, 5.53% Cu, and 7.41% Cu, respectively. It should also be noted that two of these samples returned gold grades of 0.47 g/t Au and 0.30 g/t Au, indicating the additional potential for the Property to host gold mineralization.

In November 2020, Longford Exploration commissioned PhotoSat Information Ltd. (PhotoSat) to produce a satellite orthophoto over the Hook Bay Property. PhotoSat produced an 11 km[2] survey over the Property using photos that were acquired on September 28, 2020. The one-metre satellite survey (at a 50 cm precision) produced an orthophoto for 100 km[2] . The image was produced by PhotoSat using its proprietary geophysical satellite surveying process, which is known for producing some of the highest quality and most accurate stereo satellite surveys and precision orthophotos in the world.

1.5 Geology and Mineralization

Three zones of mineralization have been identified on the Hook Bay Property located within the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) basalts in association with the underlying Island Intrusive granodiorites of the Lower Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

The Contented 1 showing consists of massive sulphide pods and disseminated sulphides associated with linear shears, which may be the result of sulphides leaching from country rock. The area consists of fine to coarse-grained, sporadic pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite as disseminations, fracture fillings, veinlets, and occasional massive pods within sheared basalts. These pods can be up to 15 cm wide are exposed to a height of approximately 1 m and consist of 80 to 90% sulphides. Grab samples of sulphide pods collected by Noranda Exploration in 1982 reported assays of up to 45.57 g/t Ag and 5.8% Cu (Stewart, 1983).

The mineralization at the Contented 2 showing is characterized by a 10 cm flat-lying vein structure of massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite; however, it has been suggested that this structure could possibly be related to an exhalative lens of sulphides (Stewart, 1983). Grab samples collected by Noranda Exploration in 1982 reported assays of up to 18.51 g/t Ag and 8.4% Cu (Stewart, 1983).

The Hook Bay 1 showing is described as a local, 25 m wide zone of sheared and iron-stained basalts which were bounded by two faults, both striking 230° and containing quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite-hematite veinlets spaced 0.5 to 1 m apart. On the west side of the zone, a 30 cm wide vein (lens) of massive chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite was identified; it appeared to follow a similar strike. A grab sample from the lens (DD-1) returned assays of 5.995% Cu and 18.2 g/t Ag (Ferguson, 2012).

In 2020, Longford Exploration discovered two narrow veins, approximately 470 to 650 m to the east of the Hook Bay 1 showing. These samples returned assays of 1.41% Cu and 1.76% Cu. Approximately 30 m

south of the Hook Bay 1 showing, sample 3294556 assayed 1.3% Cu, indicating possible continuity of mineralization from the main showing.

In addition, Longford Explorations results returned higher grades than had been previously sampled in 2014 along road 250J. Three rock samples assayed 2.12% Cu, 5.53% Cu and 7.41% Cu (3294560, 3294564 and 3294559, respectively). As a result, Longford Exploration declared this new location to be the “Hook Bay 2 showing”. Mineralization at the Hook Bay 2 showing contains massive sulphides hosted within three 20 to 40 cm highly sheared, sub-vertical quartz-carbonate veins striking at 351°.

Mineralization throughout the Property is generally associated within shear zones and consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite as fine-grained disseminations, fracture fillings, quartz calcite epidote veinlets and pods of massive sulphides hosted in the Karmutsen Formation.

1.6 Conclusions and Recommendations

As a first pass exploration program, Longford Exploration identified multiple narrow, mineralized veins/pods striking between 210° and 348°. Rock samples taken from the Hook Bay 1 showing confirmed previous high-grade samples from Aztec Geoscience’s 2012 and 2014 programs, but the historical grab samples from Noranda Exploration’s 1982 Contented 1 and Contented 2 showings still require verification. Stream sediment samples taken directly below the Contented 2 showing indicate a strong source of copper and silver (up to 164 g/t Ag); these are in line with Noranda Exploration’s 1983 findings from the 600 m outcrop located directly above. The stream sediment samples collected from the northern drainages are generally weak in copper; this is thought to be due to significant slope failure and burial upstream from the sample collection site.

The 2020 field program established more mineralized areas, namely sample 3294556 (40 m south of the Hook Bay 1 showing) and samples 3294582 and 3294583 (470 to 650 m southeast of the Hook Bay 1 showing). Elevated copper is present in soil across the Hook Bay 1 showing, trending along a northeastsouthwest shear. It should be noted that many of these soil horizons were poorly developed, and, therefore, the copper in soil may be higher than that recorded. A strong anomaly, with soil samples up to 349 ppm Cu, exists directly south of the Hook Bay 1 showing. These samples may be contaminated through fall-out of boulders along the road cut; however, given the recovered grade from rock sample 3294556 in that area, it is possible that the anomaly indicates a continuation of sub-surface mineralization.

The 2020 field program returned higher grades than had been previously sampled along road 250J in 2014. Three rock samples (3294560, 3294564 and 3294559) assayed 2.12% Cu, 5.53% Cu and 7.41% Cu, respectively. It should also be noted that two of these samples returned gold grades of up to 0.47 g/t Au and 0.30 g/t Au, indicating the potential for the Property to also host gold mineralization, as seen similarly within the Macktush and Nahmint properties to the north and south, respectively.

It is unclear at this stage of exploration whether the control on mineralization is confined to a shear zone at the contact between the Karmutsen basalt and Island Plutonic Suite granodiorite or if it is part of a larger mineralized system. Given the presence of epithermal veining, multiple felsic dykes, sheeted vein complexes, and several weakly argillic-propylitic altered units throughout the Property, it is conceivable that a porphyry system at depth is feeding the mineralized structures at surface.

The results of the 2020 field program, in conjunction with historical work completed on the Property, warrant further work. Focus should be on extending both the soil sampling grid along the southern Hook Bay shear zone and the stream sediment sampling on the eastern side of the Property. An IP survey should also be conducted within the vicinity of the Hook Bay 1 showing.

Based on the evaluation of available data, the author of this Technical Report recommends a multi-phase exploration program for the Hook Bay Property.

Preliminary and field components of Phase 1 investigations should include the following:

  1. A preliminary, detailed review of historical data, including complete digitization of the information from historical work, mapping, and sampling to provide a modern context to advance exploration efforts. Focus on an increased understanding of the nature and extent of mineralization using the existing geochemical and geophysical datasets.

  2. Detailed mapping and prospecting as well as systematic surface sampling across the mineral showings to delineate the extent, thickness, and characteristics of any mineralized zones. Work should include stream sediment, soil/till and/or moss mat sampling, and channel sampling of visible surface mineralization.

Phase 2 recommendations are conditional on the results of Phase 1, and include the following:

  • Ground and/or airborne geophysics, with specific techniques determined by the Phase 1 results (for example, an IP survey should be conducted within the vicinity of the Hook Bay 1 showing).

  • Further artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) studies.

  • Technical data reviews by third-party experts in porphyry copper and VMS target generation that could support a preliminary diamond drilling program (3,500 m).

A preliminary budget for future exploration work on the Hook Bay Property is summarized in Table 1.1.

4 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

4.1 Location

The Hook Bay Property is located approximately 34 km south of the city of Port Alberni along Alberni Inlet, near Nahmint Bay, on Vancouver Island, B.C. (Figure 4-1). The Property lies in the Alberni Mining Division on NTS map sheets 092F 006 and 092F 016 and is centred at approximately 124°52.9'W longitude, 49°5.6'N latitude.

4.2 Mineral Titles

The Property consists of one unpatented mineral claim (Figure 4-2) located in the Alberni Mining Division totalling 1,078.85 ha. The online registry currently shows that the Hook Bay mineral claim is 100% owned and registered in the name of James Rogers who is the bare trustee for Longford Capital, the Beneficial Owner. As of the date of this report, the claim is in good standing (Table 4.1).

The Order of the Chief Gold Commissioner took unprecedented measures on March 27, 2020 to extend all active mineral claims with an expiry date prior to December 31, 2021. These claims will retain their current expiry dates, however, work filing requirements have been extended to December 31, 2021. These changes do not effectively change the Good to Date of the claim but maintains the claim in a “Protected Status” and allows title holders additional time to complete and file the work. Sufficient work expenditures must be spent on the Hook Bay Property prior to December 31, 2021 to renew claims for the first (2021-2022) and second anniversary years (2022-2023) of the claims. These measures have been put in place as a direct result of safety and travel restrictions put in place to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

The author has not researched Property title or mineral rights to the Hook Bay Property and expresses no opinion as to the ownership status of the Property other than verifying the good-to date (Table 4.1) of the claim comprising the Hook Bay Property using the British Columbia Mineral Titles Branch website, Mineral Titles Online (MTO), at www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca. The QP most recently accessed the MTO website to review the Property title on November 18, 2020.

4.3 Mineral Rights in British Columbia

Mineral Claims in British Columbia are subdivided into two major categories: placer and mineral. Both are acquired using the Mineral Titles Online (MTO) system. The online MTO system allows clients to acquire and maintain (register work, payments, etc.) mineral and placer claims. Mineral Titles can be acquired anywhere in the province where there are no other impeding interests (other mineral titles, reserves, parks, etc.).

The interactive map allows users to select single or multiple adjoining grid cells. Cell sizes vary from approximately 21 ha (457 m × 463 m) in the south to approximately 16 ha at the north of the province. Cell size variance is due to the longitudinal lines that gradually converge toward the North Pole.

MTO calculates the exact area in hectares according to the selected cells and calculates the required fee. The fee is charged for the entire cell, even though a portion may be unavailable due to a prior legacy title or alienated land. The fee for Mineral Claim registration is $1.75 per hectare.

Upon immediate confirmation of payment, the mineral rights title is issued and assigned a tenure number for the registered claim. Email confirmation of the transaction and title is sent immediately.

Rights to any ground encumbered by existing legacy claims will not be granted with the cell claim except through the Conversion process. However, the rights held by a legacy claim or lease will accrue to the cell claim if the legacy claim or lease should terminate through forfeiture, abandonment, or cancellation, but not if the legacy claim is taken to lease. Similarly, if a cell partially covers land that is alienated (park, reserve, etc.) or is a reserve, no rights to the alienated or reserved land are acquired. But, if that alienation or reserve is subsequently rescinded, the rights held by the cell expand over the former alienated or reserve land within the border of the cell.

Upon registration, a cell claim is deemed to commence as of that date (Date of Issue) and is good until the Good-to Date (Expiry Date) that is one year from the date of registration. To maintain the claim beyond the expiry date, exploration and development work must be performed and registered, or a payment, instead of exploration and development, may be registered. If the claim is not maintained, it will forfeit at the end of the Expiry Date and it is the responsibility of every recorded holder to maintain their claims; no notice of pending forfeiture is sent to the recorded holder.

A mineral or placer claim has a set expiry date, and to maintain the claim beyond that expiry date, the recorded holder (or an agent) must, on or before the expiry date, register either exploration and development work that was performed on the claim, or a payment, instead of exploration and development. Failure to maintain a claim results in automatic forfeiture at the end (midnight) of the expiry date; there is no notice to the claim holder prior to forfeiture.

When exploration and development work or a payment instead of work is registered, the claim may be advanced forward to any new date. With a payment, instead of work, the minimum requirement is six months, and the new date cannot exceed one year from the current expiry date; with work, it may be any date up to a maximum of ten years beyond the current anniversary year. “Anniversary year” means the current period from the last expiry date to the next immediate expiry date.

All recorded holders of a claim must hold a valid Free Miners Certificate (FMC) when either work or a payment is registered on the claim.

Clients need to register a certain value of work or a "cash-in-lieu of work" payment to their claims in MTO. Tables 4.2 and 4.3 outline the costs required to maintain a claim for one year.

4.4 Property Legal Status

The Mineral Titles Online (MTO) system confirms that the Hook Bay Property claim as described in Table 4.1 is in good standing as at the date of this report and that no legal encumbrances are registered with the Mineral Titles Branch against the titles at that date. The author makes no further assertion regarding the legal status of the Property.

The Property has not been legally surveyed to date and no requirement to do so has existed.

The Order of the Chief Gold Commissioner took unprecedented measures on March 27, 2020 to extend all active mineral claims with an expiry date prior to December 31, 2021. These claims have been amended from their current expiry date and have been extended to December 31, 2021. These measures have been put in place as a direct result of safety and travel restrictions put in place to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. These measures will allow title holders the additional time required to carry out assessment work on claims to keep them in good standing.

4.5 Nature of Title to Property

The Hook Bay mineral claim covers 1,078.85 ha. The online registry currently shows that the Hook Bay mineral claim is 100% owned and registered in the name of James Rogers, the bare trustee for Longford Capital (the Beneficial Owner). There is a Bare Trust Agreement in place between Longford Capital and James Rogers dated February 1, 2020 which names James Rogers as the bare trustee of the Hook Bay claim for Longford Capital. The QP is independent of Longford Exploration, Longford Capital and CIPC.

CIPC (the Optionee) and the Longford Capital (the Optionor) are party to an option agreement dated October 30, 2020 pursuant to which Longford Capital has agreed to grant CIPC an exclusive option to acquire 100% undivided right, title, ownership, and beneficial interest in and to the Hook Bay Property, free and clear of any encumbrances for the following considerations:

  • Within five days of closing date, issue 2.2 million shares to Longford Capital and provide cash payment of $50,000.

  • Within 30 days of closing date, complete a minimum of $100,000 expenditure on the Property.

  • Within 18 months of the closing date, complete an additional $300,000 expenditure on the Property and issue 500,000 shares to Longford Capital.

As part of this agreement, the Optionor shall be granted a 2% NSR on the Hook Bay Property claim following commencement of commercial production. The Optionee may exercise the right to reduce the NSR to 1% at any time prior to commencement of commercial production by making a cash payment of $1,500,000 to the Optionor. Payment may be made by way of certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Vendor (or other method of payment acceptable to the Optionor) along with written notice of the Optionee’s intent to exercise Buy-Back-In-Right.

In addition to the terms outlined here, the option agreement contains a 5 km area-of-interest provision pursuant to which any claims staked by either parties (the Optionor or the Optionee) within 5 km of the Hook Bay Property boundary (as defined by the Hook Bay Property claim) will automatically be included in the agreement and subject to the NSR.

There are no other royalties, back-in rights, payments, or other agreements to which the Hook Bay Property is subject.

4.6 Surface Rights in British Columbia

Surface rights are not included with mineral claims in British Columbia. However, the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) allows persons holding a valid free miner certificate (free miner) to enter mineral lands to explore for minerals whether surface is owned privately or by the Crown. Right of entry onto these lands does not include land occupied by a building, the area around a dwelling house, orchard land or land under cultivation, protected heritage property or land in a park.

Miners entering on private lands must serve notice in the prescribed manner and compensate the landowner for any loss or damages resulting from the mining activities including prospecting, mapping, sampling, geophysical surveys, as well as any activities that disturb the surface. Landowners must be notified prior to persons entering onto private land for any mining activity and may not begin until eight days after giving notice to the owners of the surface area where the activity will take place. Notice must include the dates when the activities will take place, where the activity will occur, the names and addresses of the free miner or recorded holder and of the on-site person responsible for the operations. Details describing the activities that will be carried out, the number of people that will be on-site including a map or written description of where the activities will take place. Notices may be emailed, faxed, or hand delivered to the landowner. Any substantial changes to the activity described in the notice must be

given to the landowner in an amended notice and work may not begin until eight days after the amended notice has been delivered.

4.7 Permitting

Any work which disturbs the surface by mechanical means on a mineral claim in British Columbia requires a Notice of Work (NOW) permit under the British Columbia Mines Act (Mines Act). This includes but is not limited to the following types of work: drilling, trenching, excavating, blasting, construction of a camp, demolition of a camp, induced polarization surveys using exposed electrodes, and reclamation.

Exploration activities which do not require a NOW permit include prospecting with hand tools, geological/geochemical surveys, airborne geophysical surveys, ground geophysics without exposed electrodes, hand trenching, and the establishment of grids.

The Issuer does not currently hold any permits pertaining to exploration on the Property.

4.8 Environmental

As of the date of this report, there are no known environmental liabilities to which the Hook Bay Property is subject and no other known significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the Hook Bay Property.

5 ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY

5.1 Accessibility

The Hook Bay Property can be accessed from Port Alberni by driving northwest on the Pacific Rim Highway (Highway 4) for 3 km, turning left onto Tsuma-as Drive, and continuing south onto the Canal Main for 18 km. An extensive network of smaller decommissioned forestry service roads provides only limited access to much of the Property because many of these roads are unmaintained and have become overgrown.

Road distances from the Property to select cities and ports are summarized in Table 5.1.

5.2 Climate

This region is characterized by an oceanic or maritime climate, typical of western coastal areas in higher middle latitudes of a continent. This type of climate generally produces cool summers (relative to its continental mid-latitude counterparts) and mild winters with significant annual rainfall, and few extremes of temperature.

Average daily temperatures in the summer range from 15 to 18 °C, and 3 to 6 °C in the winter (Table 5.2). The total average annual rainfall for the Port Alberni area is 2,115 mm with the most significant amount of precipitation occurring between October and March. Spring and summer months are considerably drier, providing ideal conditions for the entire exploration season.

Based on available data and knowledge of the general area, an eight-month operating (field) season could reasonably be expected. Year-round drilling operations may be possible if suitable road access can be established to the drill site.

The nearest active weather station to the Property is the Port Alberni-Cox Lake weather station, 34 km northeast of the Hook Bay Property.

5.3 Local Resources

General and skilled labour is readily available in the City of Port Alberni (population 17,678). The city is 34 km by road from the Property and offers year-round charter and scheduled fixed-wing service, B.C. Provincial Police detachment, hospital, ambulance, fuel, lodging, restaurants, and equipment. The higher elevations of the Project have limited 3G cellular service coverage.

5.4 Infrastructure

There is no developed infrastructure on the Property other than previously established forestry service roads that are infrequently maintained.

There are four hydroelectric power systems, with six generating stations located on Vancouver Island with a total capacity of 459 megawatts (MW). The B.C. power station closest to the Property is in Jordan River, B.C., approximately 100 km to the south.

Any potential areas for mine infrastructure, such as mill sites and tailings disposal sites, have not been considered in the context of this report.

5.5 Physiography

The Hook Bay Property lies northwest of Mount Spencer on the western side of Alberni Inlet on Vancouver Island. The Property is generally mountainous with elevations ranging from 150 to 1,020 m. The Property is divided by Cook Creek, a northwest-trending, V-shaped stream valley that drains to the east into Alberni Inlet. The mountain ridge north of Cook Creek valley rises to 1,020 m and, to the south of Cook Creek, the ridge rises to 980 m. Mountain slopes range between 20 degrees to subvertical, with the steepest slopes occurring in the northern portion of the claim block on the northeast facing slope, with numerous impassable cliffs throughout the Property.

Numerous seasonal tributaries drain the valley into Cook Creek which then drains into Alberni Inlet, to the north of Nahmint Bay. Most tributaries have steep gradients resulting in poor sediment deposition; therefore, silt and heavy mineral concentrate sampling are only marginally effective.

The Property has variable soil cover; the best soil development occurs on the flat-ridge tops and valley bottoms, the mountainous slopes dominated by deposits of talus fines.

This region is populated by first and second growth forests of predominantly native fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, and some arbutus in the drier areas. The forest floor is covered with salal, ferns, mosses, a variety of berry bushes and fungi. Vancouver Island has been a site of active logging for numerous decades and continues to be actively logged resulting in expansive areas of second and third generation growth, and revegetated areas of variable age and density. The southern portion of the Property has an extensive area that has been recently clear cut.

The fauna in the area is typical of Vancouver Island and includes deer, elk, moose, black bears, cougars, wolves, coyotes, and bald eagles, and smaller mammals, birds, and invertebrates.

6 HISTORY

6.1 Historical Exploration Activity

The first documented work on the Hook Bay Property was carried out in 1982 over the Contented Claim Group (consisting of the Contented 1 and Contented 2 claims) held by Mattagami Lake Exploration Ltd. (Mattagami). Noranda Exploration Company, Ltd. (Noranda Exploration), who optioned the Property from Mattagami, carried out a geological mapping and geochemical soil sampling program during which two zones of mineralization were defined and staked as the Contented Claim Group. The first identified area of mineralization, referred to as Zone 1 (Contented 1 showing), comprised several linear shear zones containing pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization with associated silver values in basalt. Samples of disseminations, fracture fillings, veinlets and massive pods of pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite in sheared basalts returned values up to 1.3 oz/t Ag and 5.8% Cu. In addition, 550 m east of the Contented 1 showing along road 2510K, samples R-23404 and R-23405 returned values of 1.63% Cu and 2.34% Cu, respectively (Stewart, 1983).

Soil sampling carried out over Zone 1 produced poor and sporadic copper anomalies; highest assays returned were 220 ppm Cu, one isolated sample returning 80 ppb Au, and no anomalous silver values (Stewart, 1983). The second area identified by Noranda Exploration, referred to as Zone 2, was characterized by a 10 cm wide flat-lying pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite vein that appeared to follow a basalt lapilli tuff contact. Samples of this vein returned assays of 0.54 oz/t Ag and 8.4% Cu (Stewart, 1983). Soil geochemistry was reportedly poor over Zone 1 suggesting a sporadic nature of mineralization, whereas several strong copper anomalies (up to 960 ppm) were defined in Zone 2 (Stewart, 1983). The soil sampling in the vicinity of Zone 2 identified the following four anomalous areas off road 2500 (Stewart, 1983):

  • Area 1: 50 m; 220 to 420 ppm Cu

  • Area 2: 250 m; 390 to 580 ppm Cu

  • Area 3: spot anomaly; 960 ppm Cu

  • Area 4: spot anomaly; 260 to 760 ppm Cu

In 2010, new forestry roads were constructed along the steep ridge on the west side of the claims allowing greater access to the south end of the Hook Bay Property. In the fall of the same year, Dave Preedy discovered quartz veinlets and associated quartz-carbonate “blowouts” of chalcopyrite, pyrite and bornite which were exposed in veinlets through altered basalt pyroclastics along a recently completed road (HB100). These were described as very narrow to hairline veinlets which appeared to pinch and swell into pods.

In December 2010, Del Ferguson (Ferguson) staked the Hookie Claim (near the Hook Bay 1 showing) and the Cookie Claim (closer to Cook Creek), which comprised the Hook Bay Property. Road construction continued into 2011 resulting in the discovery of local malachite stains by Ferguson along a newly constructed road.

Between 2011 and 2014, Ferguson commissioned Aztec Geoscience Inc. (Aztec Geoscience) to carry out various exploration work.

In October 2011, Aztec Geoscience conducted an initial prospecting survey over the Hookie and Cookie Claims. Two parallel approximately 10 to 20 cm wide epidote-calcite-quartz veinlets roughly 2.5 m apart, striking 010°/vertical through a brecciated basalt outcrop, was identified along the road (03632281/5438156). A second occurrence was discovered along the road (0363137/5438179) which showed a light grey-green lapilli tuff dissected by epidote-calcite-quartz veinlets and “blow-outs”. This roughly 10 m wide altered zone was reportedly in contact (200°/80°W) with a light-beige rhyolite porphyry dyke. An approximately 25 m wide zone of highly sheared and iron-stained basalts bounded by two faults (striking 230°) was also discovered which contained several 0.5 to 1 m spaced quartz-calcite-pyritehematite-chalcopyrite veinlets (Ferguson, 2012). On the west side of the zone, an approximately 30 cm wide vein (lens) of massive chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite was identified; it appeared to follow a similar strike. A grab sample of this lens (DD-1) assayed 5.995% Cu with trace gold and silver (Ferguson, 2012).

In June 2012, Ferguson added claim DCS3 to the southwestern edge of the Hook Bay Property (Ferguson, 2013).

In May 2013, Aztec Geoscience carried out a geological mapping and prospecting survey over the DCS3 claim and collected 10 rock samples. This survey confirmed that the claim was exclusively underlain by the Karmutsen Formation amygdaloidal basalts. Results from the rock grab sample of quartz-epidotehosted disseminated pyrite mineralization (#1615110) showed copper values of 65.2 ppm; results from the heavy mineral stream sediment sample (#1615111) showed copper values of 124 ppm (Ferguson, 2013).

In July 2013, Aztec Geoscience followed up with prospecting work along old, deactivated roads throughout the northern portion of the claims. This program revealed a zone of strong copper mineralization over a 185 m length on road 2510K with apparent indications of an east-west striking zone perpendicular to the road heading. Note: In 1983, samples R-23404 and R-23405 returned 1.63% Cu and 2.34% Cu, respectively (Stewart, 1983). In 2013, four of the nine collected grab samples returned values between 2,572 to 8,195 ppm Cu with trace values of zinc and gold (Ferguson, 2014).

Very few anomalies in the survey block are
typical of massive sulphide responses.
However, the survey was successful in
locating numerous weak or broad responses
that may warrant additional work. Most
anomalies in the area are moderately weak
and poorly defined. Many have been
attributed to conductive overburden or deep
weathering, although several are associated
with magnetite-rich rock units. The weak
magnetite-hosted responses could also
reflect skarn-type mineralization.

7 GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION

7.1 Regional Geology

Vancouver Island is located within the Insular Superterrane of Western British Columbia, an amalgamation of the Wrangellia Terrane and the Alexander Terrane that eventually accreted to North America between the mid-Jurassic and mid-Cretaceous. This was followed by the accretion of the Pacific Terrane and the Crescent Terrane during the mid-Tertiary time-period. The Hook Bay Property is situated in the southern portion of Vancouver Island and is underlain by rock assemblages of the allochthonous Wrangellia Terrane

7.1.1 The Wrangellia Terrane

The Wrangellia Terrane extends discontinuously north of Vancouver Island through the Queen Charlotte Islands towards central Alaska and is characterized by rocks of the Upper Paleozoic to Lower Mesozoic. In the late Carboniferous Wrangellia collided and amalgamated with the Alexander Terrane in Alaska to form the Insular Superterrane and subsequently accreted to the inboard terranes of the Coast and Intermontane belts as late as the mid-Cretaceous, or as early as the mid-Jurassic (Nixon et al., 2006).

Prior to its accretion, Wrangellia comprised the Paleozoic Sicker and Buttle Lake Groups and the Middle Triassic Karmutsen Formation. The Sicker and Buttle Lake groups are composed of Devonian to early Permian island-arc volcanic, volcaniclastic, and sedimentary rocks which are known to host VMS deposits, such as Myra Falls. The Karmutsen Formation is an approximately 6,000 m thick oceanic plateau which conformably overlies the Sicker and Buttle Lake groups; it is composed of tholeiitic flood basalts, minor pillow basalts, pillow breccia and tuff as well as inter-volcanic limestone which underlie approximately 50% of Vancouver Island (Nixon et al., 2006). Conformably overlying the Karmutsen Formation is a shallow-water carbonate layer known as the Quatsino Formation. The Quatsino Formation is composed of massive to bedded bioclastic limestone which formed during the waning stages of the Karmutsen volcanism and associated subsidence. Continued sedimentation and deeper water resulted in the deposition of the impure limestone and siliciclastic rocks of the Parsons Bay Formation (Nixon et al. 2006).

A period of quiescence followed by a renewed phase of island-arc magmatism and sedimentation produced the volcanic, volcaniclastic and epiclastic strata of the Bonanza Group, along with the coeval intrusions of the Island Plutonic Suite (Nixon et al., 2006).

7.1.2 Regional Stratigraphy

Figure 7-1 shows the regional stratigraphy found on Vancouver Island, B.C.

The regional geology for the Hook Bay Property is shown in Figure 7-2.

7.2 Property Geology

The Hook Bay Property is predominantly underlain by Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation basalts of the Vancouver Group. The eastern border of the Property has been intruded by the Early Jurassic to Middle Jurassic granodiorites of the Island Plutonic Suite. The geology for the Hook Bay Property is shown in Figure 7-3.

Minimal geological mapping work has been carried out over the Property area; however, a small portion of the historical Contented Claim Group was mapped in detail in 1983 by Noranda Exploration in the northern and central portion of the Hook Bay Property. The predominant lithology reported by Stewart (1983) was described as a dark grey-green basalt which has been variably altered. It was also reported that minor amounts of rhyolite porphyry, granodiorite and basalt lapilli-tuff were also observed on the Property. The basalt showed variable competency and texture due to significant mechanical and chemical alteration in the area. Zones of mechanical shearing have introduced carbonate, ± silicate, ± epidote, ± sulphides resulting in zones of variable composition. Variability within these zones is characterized by competent rocks adjacent to zones of significant shearing and carbonate-rich basalts flanking carbonatepoor basalts, and it is possibly the result of a cyclical fluid movements through shear zone conduits. Several 1 to 20 m wide outcrops of rhyolite porphyry intruding the basalt were also observed on the Property; these were often associated with mineralization within an approximate 100 m wide surrounding area. This was observed at the Hook Bay 1 showing and at the northeast of the Property along road 2510. The main, 30 cm wide mineralized lens at the Hook Bay 1 showing, trends at 210°, approximately on strike with mineralized veins at 215°, to the north along road 250J.

Prior to 2020, the southernmost portion of the Hook Bay Property had not been extensively explored; however, a 2011 prospecting program by Aztec Geoscience reported variable rock types in the area, including volcanic agglomerates, lapilli-tuffs, porphyritic dykes, massive basalts and highly sheared and oxidized basalts. Minerals such as pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite were reported as disseminations and stringers in thin calcite-quartz-epidote veinlets and fracture fillings and shears hosted in the Karmutsen basalt. During the 2020 field program, Longford Exploration noted several epithermal quartz-epidote veins located in the southwest of the Property along the Hook Bay road 1000. These veins follow a strike between 180° and 200° dipping sub-vertically to the west. A minor number of brecciated and argillic altered epithermal veins were additionally observed in this area (Figure 7-4A).

Several 5 to 15 m wide felsic intrusions (rhyolite porphyry and granodiorite) are present in the eastern section of the Property. Many of these intrusions show weak-to-moderate sericite alteration, in addition to bleaching and the inclusion of sheeted quartz-carbonate-epidote stockwork assemblages (1 to 2 mm wide stringers).

Numerous well-defined shears ranging in width from 0.1 to 3 m were also identified on the Property; the orientation of these structures ranged between a strike of 110° and 120° with dips ranging between 70° and 90° SE (Stewart, 1983). Stewart also reported that the majority of major shears occurred over a 40 m interval, where 12 shears were mapped along road 2510 in the northeast of the Property.

7.2.1 Property Rock Descriptions

The following rock descriptions were reported from Stewart (1983) during the Noranda Exploration program on the Contented 1 and Contented 2 showings:

BASALT

Dark grey-green, weathers medium grey-green and rust brown. Very fine to fine grained with few minerals discernible. Epidote occurs as fracture fillings and crystal aggregates throughout. Outcrops exhibit blocky to tabular fracture patterns. The basalt unit forms are resistant well-defined outcroppings across the Property, which are variable because of mechanical and chemical alteration.

a) Recrystallized Calcareous Basalt Dark grey-green, weathers light tan to grey-brown. Abundant calcite in matrix. Unit very well-lithified. Evidence of recrystallization includes presence of well-defined, fine-grained subhedral biotite, hornblende, and plagioclase crystals in addition to distinct flow bands and separation of mafic/felsic components.

b) Sheared-Altered Basalt Dark grey-green, weathers light to medium grey, brown, rust, and pale. Highly fractured, crumbly. More intensely sheared areas are typically dark brown, recessive, and friable, intensely fractured with well-developed slickenside and very lustrous sheared surfaces. Many minerals are unrecognizable in hand specimen. Calcite veining and salvage alteration varies from zone to zone with up to 10% by volume in some areas.

Localized mineralization is generally associated with the shear zones and consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite as fine-grained disseminations, fracture fillings, veinlets, and pods of massive sulphides.

c) Calcareous Basalt Dark grey, weathers rusty brown. Fine-grained, massive, resistant but variable sheared. Calcite to approximately 15% as very fine-grained matrix material, fracture fillings and veinlets. Pyrite and chalcopyrite to 5% combined typically associated with calcite.

RHYOLITE PORPHYRY

Light greenish-grey, weathers white and tan. Very resistant and highly siliceous with sharp conchoidal fracture patterns. Mafic mineralogy comprises 15 to 20% of rocks and includes biotite (5%) as very finegrained, anhedral crystal aggregates and hornblende (10 to 15%) as prismatic, euhedral phenocrysts to 4 mm long, (average 1 to 2 mm). Approximately 50% of unit composed of sub/to anhedral plagioclase and K-feldspar phenocrysts to 4 mm. Matrix is aphanitic and highly siliceous.

Mineralization is lacking and alteration is restricted to a poorly defined, 30 cm wide contact metamorphic aureole along basalt/porphyry boundary.

GRANODIORITE

Only a cursory examination was performed along the western margin of the claim group. Most notable feature is consistent, intense shearing and fracturing.

BASALTIC LAPILLI-TUFF

Thought to form the footwall to the noted shear zone at Zone 2. Medium to dark grey-green, weathers darker green. Soft, fragmental with calcareous matrix. Calcite and epidote occur as fracture filling. Chalcopyrite to 1% as disseminations and fine-grained crystal aggregates.

7.2.2 Mineralization

Three main zones of mineralization have been identified on the Hook Bay Property located within the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) basalts in association with the underlying Island Intrusive granodiorites of the Lower Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

The Contented 1 showing ( BC Minfile 092F 195 ) is located on the ridge between Cook and Macktush Creek, approximately 4 km southwest of the Macktush Creek mouth. Mineralization consists of massive sulphide pods and disseminated sulphides associated with linear shear zones, possibly the result of sulphides leaching from country rock. The area consists of fine to coarse grained, infrequent pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite as disseminations, fracture fillings, veinlets, and massive pods within sheared and fractured basalts. Disseminations and fracture fillings are found in the more competent basalts and the sulphide pods occur discontinuously within the shear zones. These pods can be up to 15 cm wide and are exposed to a height of approximately 1 m and consist of up to 80% to 90% sulphides. Historical grab samples of sulphide pods collected in the local area by Noranda Exploration (1982), assayed up to 45.57 g/t Ag and 5.8% Cu. In addition, 550 m east of the Contented 1 showing along road 2510K, samples R-23404 and R- 23405 returned assays of 1.63% Cu and 2.34% Cu, respectively (Stewart, 1983).

The Contented 2 showing ( BC Minfile 092F 615 ) is located on a northerly flowing tributary of Cook Creek, approximately 2 km northwest of the creek mouth on the Alberni Canal. Mineralization is characterized by a 10 cm flat-lying vein structure of massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite; however, it has been suggested that this structure could possibly be related to an exhalative lens of sulphides (Stewart, 1983). Grab samples collected by Noranda Exploration in 1982 reported assays of up to 18.51 g/t Ag, and 8.4% Cu (Stewart, 1983).

The Hook Bay 1 showing (Figure 7-5) is described as a locally, 25 m wide zone of sheared and iron-stained basalts which are bounded by two faults, both striking 230° and containing quartz-chalcopyrite-pyritehematite veinlets spaced 0.5 to 1 m apart. On the west side of the zone, a 30 cm wide vein (lens) of massive chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite was identified; it appeared to follow a similar strike (Figure 7-6, left ). A grab sample from the lens (DD-1) returned assays of 5.995% Cu and 18.2 g/t Ag (Ferguson, 2012).

In 2020, Longford Exploration discovered two narrow veins, approximately 470 to 650 m to the east of the Hook Bay 1 showing (Figure 7-6, right ). These samples returned assays of 1.41% Cu and 1.76% Cu. Approximately 30 m south of the Hook Bay 1 showing, sample 3294556 assayed 1.3% Cu, indicating possible continuity of mineralization between the showings.

In addition, Longford Exploration returned higher grades than had previously been sampled along the road 250J in 2014. Three rock samples (3294560, 3294564 and 3294559) assayed 2.12% Cu, 5.53% Cu and 7.41% Cu, respectively. As a result, Longford Exploration declared this new location to be the “Hook Bay 2 showing”. Mineralization at the Hook Bay 2 showing contains massive sulphides hosted within three 20 to 40 cm highly sheared, sub-vertical quartz-carbonate veins striking at 351°.

Mineralization throughout the Property is generally associated within shear zones and consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite as fine-grained disseminations, fracture fillings, quartz calcite epidote veinlets and pods of massive sulphides hosted in the Karmutsen Formation.

8 DEPOSIT TYPE

The Hook Bay Property is located within the Coastal Mountain belt of Vancouver Island, and two styles of mineralization are thought to be possible on the Property: volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry style of mineralization.

8.1 Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Style Deposit

Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits (Figure 8-1), also known as volcanic-hosted massive sulphide, volcanic-associated massive sulphide, or seafloor massive sulphide deposits, are important sources of copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver. These deposits form at or near the seafloor where circulating hydrothermal fluids driven by magmatic heat are quenched through mixing with bottom waters or porewaters in near-seafloor lithologies. Massive sulphide lenses vary widely in shape and size and may be pod-like or sheet-like. They are generally stratiform and may occur as multiple lenses. Deposits range in size from small pods of less than a ton (which are commonly scattered through prospective terrains) to supergiant accumulations (Shanks et al., 2012).

Massive ore in VMS deposits consists of >40% sulphides, usually pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena; non-sulphide gangue typically consists of quartz, barite, anhydrite, iron oxides, chlorite, sericite, talc, and their metamorphosed equivalents. Ore composition may be lead-zinc-, copperzinc-, or lead-copper-zinc-dominated, and some deposits are zoned vertically and laterally.

Many deposits have stringer or feeder zones beneath the massive zone that consist of crosscutting veins and veinlets of sulphides in a matrix of pervasively altered host rock and gangue. Alteration zonation in the host rocks surrounding the deposits is usually well-developed and include advanced argillic (kaolinite, alunite), argillic (illite, sericite), sericitic (sericite, quartz), chloritic (chlorite, quartz), and propylitic (carbonate, epidote, chlorite) types (Bonnet and Corriveau, 2007).

An unusual feature of VMS deposits is the common association of stratiform “exhalative” deposits precipitated from hydrothermal fluids emanating into bottom waters. These deposits may extend well beyond the margins of massive sulphide and are typically composed of silica, iron, and manganese oxides, carbonates, sulphates, sulphides, and tourmaline.

8.2 Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Porphyry Style Deposit

The Hook Bay Property is likely associated with a widespread distal hydrothermal copper-goldmolybdenum porphyry style deposit (Figure 8-2). The mineralized zones are located within and adjacent to basalts of the Karmutsen Formation and the contacts between the Island Plutonic Suite granodiorites on the Property.

The formation of this style of deposit is related to orogenic belts at convergent plate boundaries (subduction-related magmatism) or extension settings related to strike-slip faulting or back arc spreading during continent margin accretion. It is generally recognized that copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry deposits are associated with granodiorite, quartz monzonite, quartz diorite granitoid rock types. Coppergold-molybdenum porphyries tend to occur as large zones of hydrothermally altered host rock and are closely related to island-arc volcano-plutonic suites. Composition of intrusions range from basalt-andesite volcanic and gabbro-diorite-quartz-diorite associations. These deposits are characterized by quartz stockworks, veins, sulphide-bearing veins (pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, with lesser molybdenum), closely spaced fractures, and fracture selvages. These subvolcanic intrusions are commonly emplaced by multiple successive intrusive phases and a wide variety of breccias. Grain size may range from coarse-grained phaneritic to porphyritic.

The timing of gold mineralization within these systems can be early or late and is related to magmatic or circulating meteoric waters. Early gold mineralization is typically strongly associated with the potassic alteration zone and late bornite mineralization is typically associated with pyrite and either sericitic, advanced argillic or skarn-destructive argillic alteration (Gendall, 1994). These deposits may be present in stockwork veins, skarns, or as carbonate and non-carbonate replacement (Gendall, 1994). Copper-gold style porphyries tend to be smaller in size compared to copper-molybdenum style porphyries (Gendall, 1994). Regional structures and structural lineaments act as mineralization controls in these systems, and, therefore, the degree of fracturing and veining tends to favour the concentration of copper and gold in these areas (Gendall, 1994).

Mineralized zones occur at depths of 1 km or less, and within an area of up to 5 km of the causative source of the mineralization; they are typically associated with the development of brecciated zones or preferential replacement in host rocks with a high degree of primary permeability. Ore-grade stockworks are linked to zones of intensely developed fractures that are coincident or intersect multiple fracture sets. Propylitic alteration halo is widespread and generally surrounds an early potassic alteration core (which is commonly well mineralized). Overprinting of early mineralization by later (younger) mineralized phyllic alteration is also common. Pyrite is typically the predominant sulphide mineral, and the predominant ore minerals are chalcopyrite, molybdenite, lesser bornite and rare (primary) chalcocite. Subordinate minerals may include tetrahedrite/tennantite, enargite and minor gold, electrum and arsenopyrite.

9 EXPLORATION

CIP (the Issuer) has not carried out any exploration activities on the Property as of the date of this report.

Longford Exploration Service has conducted the following exploration work on the Hook Bay Property. Exploration activities conducted by previous owners can be found in Section 6 (History).

9.1 2020 Field Program

Longford Exploration Services Ltd. (Longford Exploration) mobilized a crew of four from Vancouver, B.C. on March 11, 2020 and completed a 12-day geological mapping, prospecting, and surface sampling program. The field program ran from March 11 to 22, 2020. The crew was dispatched daily from the nearest town of Port Alberni. The Property was accessed by driving 45 minutes along the Canal Main road and taking several westward-branching logging roads to access the Property.

The 2020 field program set out to validate historical sample grades, test Property access, and understand the mineralization pathways within the Karmutsen basalts relating to the intrusive granodiorite of the Island Plutonic Suite.

Several historical copper showings are known to exist on the Hook Bay Property; however, only the Hook Bay 1 and Hook Bay 2 showings were prospected during this field program. Due to the poor conditions of deactivated/unmaintained logging roads, and seasonal snow at elevation, the Contented 1 showing was not visited. The Longford Exploration crew reached the Contented 2 showing area late in the day, and only one rock sample was collected from unmineralized wall rock at this location.

9.1.1 Results Overview

Forty-one rock grab samples were collected throughout the Property. Two hundred and eighty soil samples were collected over a 25 x 25 m grid spacing. The soil sampling grid covered an approximate 25 m wide shear zone that hosts the Hook Bay 1 showing in the southern portion of the Property. Fourteen stream sediment samples from north and south of the Cook Creek drainage were also collected.

As a first pass exploration program, multiple narrow, mineralized veins/pods striking between 210° and 348°. Rock samples taken from the Hook Bay 1 showing confirmed the previous high-grade samples from Aztec Geoscience’s 2012 and 2014 programs, but the historical grab sample results from Noranda Exploration’s 1982 Contented 1 and Contented 2 showings still require verification. Stream sediment samples taken directly below the Contented 2 showing indicate a strong source of copper and silver (up to 164 g/t Ag); these are in line with Noranda Exploration’s 1983 findings from the 600 m outcrop located directly above. The stream sediment samples collected from the northern drainages are generally weak in copper; this is thought to be due to significant slope failure and burial upstream from the sample collection site.

The 2020 field program established new mineralized areas, namely sample 3294556 (40 m south of Hook Bay 1 showing) and samples 3294582 and 3294583 (470 to 650 m southeast of Hook Bay 1 showing). Elevated copper is present in soil across the Hook Bay 1 showing, trending along a northeast-southwest shear. It should be noted that many of these soil horizons were poorly developed, and, therefore, the copper in soil may be higher than that recorded. A strong anomaly, with soil samples up to 349 ppm Cu,

exists directly south of the Hook Bay 1 showing. These samples may be contaminated through fall-out of boulders along the road cut; however, given the recovered grade from rock sample 3294556 in the same area, it is likely that the anomaly indicates a continuation of sub-surface mineralization.

9.1.2 Rock Sample Results

Thirty-nine rock grab samples were collected throughout the Property.

The 2020 field program returned significantly higher grades than had been previously sampled along road 250J in 2014. Three rock samples (3294560, 3294564 and 3294559) assayed 2.12% Cu, 5.53% Cu and 7.41% Cu, respectively. It should also be noted that two of these samples returned gold grades of 0.47 g/t Au and 0.30 g/t Au, indicating the potential for the Property to host gold mineralization, as seen within the Macktush and Nahmint properties to the north and south, respectively. Given these results, in the context of this report this new location to be the “Hook Bay 2 showing”.

Table 9.1 outlines the geochemical rock (grab) results returned from the 2020 preliminary survey of the Property, and the locations and results are shown in Figure 9-1.

9.1.4 Stream Sediment Sample Results

Fourteen stream sediment samples were collected from north and south of the Cook Creek drainage. Each sample was screened using a 2-mesh (6.35 mm) sieve and ended with a 20-mesh (0.841 mm) sieve.

Table 9.3 outlines the geochemical stream sediment results returned from the 2020 preliminary survey of the Property, and the results are shown in Figures 9-4 and 9-5.

9.1.5 Interpretation of Results

The 2020 field program established more mineralized areas, namely sample 3294556 (40 m south of Hook Bay 1 showing) and samples 3294582 and 3294583 (470 to 650 m southeast of the Hook Bay 1 showing). Elevated copper is present in soil across the Hook Bay 1 showing, trending along a mapped northeast-southwest shear. It should be noted that many of these soil horizons were poorly developed, and, therefore, the copper in soil may be higher than that recorded. A strong anomaly, with soil samples up to 349 ppm Cu, exists directly south of the Hook Bay 1 showing. These samples may be contaminated through fall-out of boulders along the road cut; however, given the recovered grade from rock sample 3294556 in that area, it is likely that the anomaly indicates a continuation of sub-surface mineralization.

The 2020 field program returned higher grades than had previously been sampled along road 250J in 2014. Three rock samples (3294560, 3294564 and 3294559) assayed 2.12% Cu, 5.53% Cu and 7.41% Cu, respectively. It should also be noted that two of these samples returned gold grades of up to 0.47 g/t Au and 0.30 g/t Au, indicating the potential for the Property to also host gold mineralization, as seen within the Macktush and Nahmint properties to the north and south, respectively.

The stream sediment sample results for gold and copper show locally anomalous results in four subdrainages of the Cook Creek drainage. Identifying the source of this anomaly requires follow up in subsequent field exploration programs.

The results of the 2020 field program, in conjunction with historical work on the Property, warrant further work.

9.2 2020 Satellite Imagery Survey

In November 2020, Longford Exploration commissioned PhotoSat Information Ltd. (PhotoSat) to produce a satellite orthophoto over the Hook Bay Property. PhotoSat produced an 11 km[2] survey over the Property using photos that were acquired on September 28, 2020. The one-metre satellite survey (at a 50 cm precision) produced an orthophoto for 100 km[2] (Figure 9-6). The image was produced by PhotoSat using its proprietary geophysical satellite surveying process, which is known for producing some of the highest quality and most accurate stereo satellite surveys and precision orthophotos in the world.

9.2.1 Data Acquisition Procedures

No ground control was provided during this survey; therefore, the satellite survey and precision orthophoto were located using stereo satellite geometry. The expected relative accuracy of the one metre satellite survey is, over distances of up to 5 km, better than 20 cm for level areas of bare ground. PhotoSat tests its process by comparing data to tens of thousands of ground control points during accuracy tests. In vegetated areas with open-tree canopy spaces approximately every 100 m, PhotoSat can accurately estimate bare-ground elevations beneath to about 10% of the vegetation height. Deliverables for this survey included: 1 m bare-earth satellite survey; 50 cm WorldView-3 colour orthophoto; 1 m, 5 m, 10 m and 50 m contours; project report; and licence documents.

9.2.2 Interpretation of Results

The PhotoSat imagery shows the survey area on the Property to be densely vegetated; some areas of exposed outcrops are visible and will allow for targeted reconnaissance exploration and mapping in subsequent field programs.

Ridgelines show a general northwest orientation, parallel to regionally mapped structures (see Figure 7- 2) and the Cook Creek drainage, while second-order drainages show an orthogonal northeast orientation that appears sub-parallel to the Alberni Inlet. These patterns may be indicative of the broader controlling structural regime in the region and may provide controls on mineralization which require further field verification.

Generally, when compared to field mapping, this type of data allows for more efficient and targeted field explorations and interpretation when used in conjunction with additional detailed geological and structural observations. The orthophoto image may be suitable for additional lineament and structural analyses by machine learning (ML) techniques, the scope of which is beyond this report.

11 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS, AND SECURITY

CIP (the Issuer) has not carried out any sampling as of the date of this report.

In 2020, a field program was completed by Longford Exploration. A total of 39 rock samples, 280 soil samples, and 14 stream sediment samples were collected. These samples enabled detailed out-of-thefield descriptions, and the samples were secured in a manner that maintained their integrity and provenance for future analytical procedures.

11.1 Sample Preparation

The rock, soil, and stream sediment samples collected were located by GPS in NAD83 UTM Zone 10N. The sample locations were recorded in field notebooks and in an assay sample tag book as well as a waypoint recorded on a Garmin 60CSX GPS unit.

Each rock sample was collected into its own 18 in. by 12 in. poly bag labelled with the location (for example, Hook Bay) and a unique eight-character sample ID (for example, E6690306) assigned from a barcoded Tyvek sample book. A tear-out tag with the barcode and unique sample ID was inserted into the bag with the sample, and the bag was sealed in the field with a cable tie. The sample locations were marked in the field with pink flagging tape and the unique sample ID number was written on the tape.

A similar process was carried out for recording the soil sample data; however, soils were carefully collected following strict guidelines. A total of 280 soil samples were collected at 25 m intervals with a 25 m line spacing. All sample locations were recorded using a handheld GPS unit. Sample sites were marked using flagging tape labelled with the sample number. Most soil samples were collected from the B soil horizon (20 to 60 cm deep holes) using soil augers, wile the remaining samples were collected from A soil horizons where the soil profile was found to be poorly developed. Each soil sample was placed into an individually labelled kraft paper bag. A field duplicate was collected for every twentieth sample, totalling 12 soil sample duplicates for the program.

A variety of sieves were used in the field to reduce sample weight and to take higher quality and more representative stream sediment samples. The procedure started with using a 2-mesh (6.35 mm) sieve and ended with a 20-mesh (0.841 mm) sieve. Samples were sieved either dry or wet depending on the availability of water at the sample site or the nature of fines. An amount equivalent to 80 g of fines collected through an 80-mesh sieve was the desired amount for ICP-MS analysis. Multiple locations were sampled along the given drainage at each station; the top 3 cm of sediment was discarded to reduce the potential for contamination. Samples were then sieved in the field and placed into a sample bag; the sample name, position, elevation, flow rate, clast size, clast shape, channel width (m), sieve size (mm), and potential anthropogenic contamination were recorded.

The sampling process followed a strict QA/QC protocol with careful handling of the samples at every stage of collection and processing. Samples were collected using Hubco Sentry sample bags (10 by 17 in.) that were allowed to drain. Additional drying in the lab occurred before the fines were collected and assayed. One stream sediment sample duplicate was collected.

All rock, soil and stream sediment samples were placed into rice bags and secured with zap-straps; the sample sequence, number of samples, and bag number was recorded on each bag.

11.2 Chain of Custody

Longford Exploration’s lead geologist maintained custody of all samples until they were submitted to Bureau Veritas in Vancouver, B.C.

11.3 QA/QC

Longford Exploration applies a high-level QA/QC program for early-stage exploration programs. Soil samples were duplicated every twentieth sample to confirm consistency. Stream sediment samples are duplicated every tenth sample. The duplicate samples were homogenized in the field and then separated into individual Hubco Sentry sample bags and left to dry. Sieves and buckets were cleaned at each station to avoid contamination at the subsequent sample location. More comprehensive QA/QC procedures are applied to larger systematic sampling programs.

11.4 Sample Analysis

Sample analysis has been and will be carried out by Bureau Veritas at its Vancouver location; the lab is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015 certified and independent of CIPC. The check samples collected by the author were also delivered to Bureau Veritas in Vancouver.

The analytical methods used by the lab for samples collected during the 2020 exploration program are shown in Table 11.1.

Table 11-1: Laboratory Analytical Methods

Sample Type Analytical Methods (Bureau Veritas)
Analysis-Rock PRP70-250 (crush 1 kg to ≥70% passing 2 mm;
pulverize 250 g ≥85% 75 μm)

Analysis-Soil SS80 (sieve 100 g to 80 mesh),
AQ200 (Aqua Regia ICP-OES/MS, 36 elements, 0.5 g)
Analysis-Stream AQ 252 (Aqua Regia ICP-OES/MS, 37 elements, 30 g)

11.5 Adequacy of Procedures

All sample collection and analyses performed by the Longford Exploration field crew conform to industry best practices and are in accordance with the CIM Best Practice Guidelines for Mineral Processing .

The author has reviewed the original analytical certificates issued by Bureau Veritas for all the samples submitted by Longford Exploration in 2020. In the author’s opinion, the analytical procedures used to determine the concentrations of base and precious metals in the submitted samples were appropriate for an early stage exploration program. The “blind” quality control program used by Bureau Veritas indicates a high level of precision and accuracy in the analytical results. In the author’s opinion, the sample collection and shipping protocols used by Longford Exploration, and observed by the author during the site visit, are consistent with current industry best practices. The in-place protocols ensured that samples collected from the Property were kept secure prior to their arrival at the analytical laboratory.

12 DATA VERIFICATION

Much of the data presented in this report has been compiled from assessment reports retrieved from British Columbia’s publicly available reports, various publications, news releases and technical reports. Based on the review of the available information the author can attest that the information presented herein has been presented accurately as shown in those reports. The data obtained from previous assessment reports and 2020 exploration program was reviewed and the information therein was extracted was generated with proper procedures; all relevant data was tabulated or georeferenced and plotted to confirm the information was relevant to the property.

Where provided assay certificates were reviewed to confirm the grades reported, the quality control samples were reviewed and quality assurance was confirmed by spot checking of the reported standard reference material (SRM) and field duplicates result where data as available. The information and data were compiled in a project GIS and further reviewed by the author for general validity. Based on these reviews it is the authors opinion that the information has been accurately transcribed from the original source and is suitable to be used. The author is of the opinion that the datasets are adequate and reliable for the purposes of this technical report. Furthermore the results presented appear to accurately represent the alteration and limited mineralization observed across the property during the site visit.

There were no limitations placed on the author in conducting the aforementioned data verification or the site visit. No other data verification measures were completed as this project as none of the original sample material was retained. The Hook property is at an early stage of exploration and the samples collected are not intended to be used for a mineral resource or mineral reserve estimate. In the author’s opinion, the data used for the purposes of this report are adequately reliable for its purposes to the best knowledge of the author.

12.1 Author’s Site Visit

The author visited Hook Bay Property on March 20 and 21, 2020 at the time of the 2020 exploration activities completed by Longford Explorations Services, and personally reviewed the soil and stream sampling and prospecting work completed at that time. The site visit focused on the areas surrounding the Hook Bay 1 showing, where copper mineralization is identified along narrow shear zones and brittle faults. During the visit, the author also independently confirmed GPS readings at selected sample sites visited as a check on the location accuracy being recorded by field personnel. The sampling procedures of field personnel were also reviewed and were found to be generally in accordance with industry best practices. Additionally, the overall, density and distribution of sample sites were adequate for the purpose of showing the preliminary extent and grade of mineralization exposed on surface at the Hook Bay 1 showing. This is an early-stage project and preliminary investigations have commenced; further work is certainly required to define the true extent and nature of the alteration and mineralization identified thus far.

The author was able to complete several traverses over the Property to review the mineral potential of the observed host-rock stratigraphy, and confirm the identified mineral showing and review the general geology of the prospect areas.

Common brittle fault zones were observed along new forestry road cuts, these were variably associated with weak sericite alteration, occasional moderate epidote alteration, and pervasive, weak to moderate chlorite alteration. Minor visible sulphides were observed in rock outcrops and float materials; these included pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite and were commonly associated with quartz veins and sheeted, anastomosing veinlet arrays within brittle fault zones.

In the author’s opinion, such characteristics are typical of high crustal level porphyry copper style alteration and mineralization.

A total of two rock samples were collected by the author/QP during the March 20 and 21, 2020 site visit. The outcrop chip samples were collected according to typical best practice. Sample analysis on these was conducted by ALS Laboratories (ALS), a well-recognized and certified laboratory in Canada. The author did not submit standards or duplicate samples; however, ALS maintains a rigorous internal (blind) quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program throughout the sample preparation and analysis process. The author confirms that the samples submitted for analysis are representative of the general lithology of the Property.

Results for the two check samples collected are presented in table 12.1 below; and are shown on Figure 9.1, in section 9 above. These mineralized vein and shear zone samples containing visible amounts of sulphides confirmed weakly anomalous copper from the analysis and returned results consistent with the host lithologies from which they were taken.

23 ADJACENT PROPERTIES

A B.C. MINFILE search reveals that there are several copper-rich mineral prospects in the area, the closest and most notable include the Macktush and Nahmint properties (after Ferguson, 2014).

23.1 Macktush Property

The Macktush Property (MINFILE 092F 012) lies several kilometres north of the Hook Bay Property, approximately 2 km west of Alberni Inlet. This developed prospect is similarly underlain by Karmutsen Formation volcanics, intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Island Plutonic Suite. The volcanic rocks consist of dark green massive basalt and andesite interbedded with or intruded by porphyritic felsic flows or dykes striking 030°. The mafic volcanics contain disseminated pyrite and epidote veinlets with local disseminated chalcopyrite. Sulphide lenses are <0.6 m wide and of limited lateral extent. At least four quartz veins up to 0.8 m wide striking 030° to 080° occur over an area of between 150 to 200 m. The sampled Macktush vein hosts strongly silicified diorite. Historical resources estimates were prepared and reported by J. Houle 2006 and 2007 which describe indicated resources along 11 veins and zones within the local area, see table 23.1 below.

Source: Houle, J., 2007

The information regarding the Macktush property was derived from the technical report titled “Technical Report for the 2006 Diamond Drilling Program and the 2006 Prospecting Program on the Macktush Property” dated January 26[th] 2007. The key assumptions, parameters and methods used to prepare the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates set forth here are set out in the technical report. The author has been unable to independently verify this information and such information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Hook Bay Property.

23.2 Nahmint Property

The Nahmint Property lies several kilometres south of the Hook Bay Property. Collectively, it includes two groups of 15 Crown-granted mineral claims known as the “Three Jays” (group of eight claims) and the

“Monitor” (group of seven claims) and the surrounding 21 cell mineral claims. Together, these claims form a large, contiguous, early-stage copper +/-gold-silver-zinc-cobalt-molybdenum-rhenium-tellurium project. The Nahmint Property hosts three historical past producers of direct-shipping, high-grade copper, silver-gold ore which yielded a total of 3,274 tonnes averaging 8.15% Cu, 34.4 g/t Ag, and 0.61 g/t Au. These consist of the following occurrences:

  • Three Jays produced 1,981 tonnes @ 7.52% Cu, 38.0 g/t Ag and 0.97 g/t Au from 1898 to 1902.

  • Monitor produced 1,288 tonnes @ 9.08% Cu, 28.8 g/t Ag, and 0.05 g/t Au from 1900 to 1918.

The Three Jays (MINFILE 092F 140) was also called Hayes or Nahmint during its exploration and production history between 1898 and 1947, and it is by far the most developed area on the Nahmint Property. The Three Jays is situated several kilometres south of Hook Bay on the west side of Alberni Inlet approximately 2.5 km south of Nahmint Bay. In this area, Vancouver Group Quatsino limestones are underlain by Karmutsen basalts and interbedded tuffs. Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group andesite tuffs, agglomerates and flows are also present. These rocks are folded, faulted and intruded by a 60 m wide granodiorite dyke and by several diorite and quartz-feldspar porphyry bodies (Island Plutonic Suite). Skarn mineralization is hosted in limestone and overlying Bonanza volcanics and in Karmutsen tuff horizons. Mineralization is high-grade chalcopyrite, magnetite, pyrite, bornite, epidote, garnet and actinolite. Seven major ore shoots in three parallel zones are separated by roughly 30 m, and ore deposits are 1,500 m long. The easterly trend of the ore has steep dips (80°S) and plunges to the west.

The author has not been able to independently verify this mineral reserve information, and, therefore, this information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Hook Bay Property which is the subject of this report.

25 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

As a first pass exploration program, Longford Exploration identified multiple narrow, mineralized veins/pods striking between 210° and 348°. Rock samples taken from the Hook Bay 1 showing confirmed previous high-grade samples from Aztec Geoscience’s 2012 and 2014 programs, but the historical grab samples from Noranda Exploration’s 1982 Contented 1 and Contented 2 showings still require verification. Stream sediment samples taken directly below the Contented 2 showing indicate a strong source of copper and silver (up to 164 g/t Ag); these are in line with Noranda Exploration’s 1983 findings from the 600 m outcrop located directly above. The stream sediment samples collected from the northern drainages are weak in copper; this is thought to be due to significant slope failure and burial upstream from the sample collection site.

The 2020 field program established more mineralized areas, namely sample 3294556 (40 m south of Hook Bay 1 showing) and samples 3294582 and 3294583 (470 to 650 m southeast of Hook Bay 1 showing). Elevated copper is present in soil across the Hook Bay 1 showing, trending along a northeast-southwest shear. It should be noted that many of these soil horizons were poorly developed, and, therefore, the copper in soil may be higher than that recorded. A strong anomaly, with soil samples up to 349 ppm Cu, exists directly south of the Hook Bay 1 showing. These samples may be contaminated through fall-out of boulders along the road cut; however, given the recovered grade from rock sample 3294556 in that area, it is likely that the anomaly indicates a continuation of sub-surface mineralization.

The 2020 field program returned higher grades than had been previously sampled in 2014 along road 250J. Three rock samples (3294560, 3294564 and 3294559) assayed 2.12% Cu, 5.53% Cu and 7.41% Cu, respectively. It should also be noted that two of these samples returned gold grades of up to 0.47 g/t Au and 0.30 g/t Au, indicating the potential for the Property to host gold mineralization, as seen within the Macktush and Nahmint properties to the north and south, respectively. Given these results, Longford Exploration declared this new location to be the “Hook Bay 2 showing” in March 2020.

It is unclear at this stage of exploration whether the control on mineralization is confined to a shear zone at the contact between the Karmutsen basalt and Island Plutonic Suite granodiorite or if it is part of a larger mineralized system. Given the presence of epithermal veining, multiple felsic dykes, sheeted vein complexes, and several weakly argillic-propylitic altered units throughout the Property, it is conceivable that a porphyry system at depth is feeding the mineralized structures at surface.

The results of the 2020 field program, in conjunction with historical work completed on the Property, warrant further work. Focus should be on extending both the soil sampling grid along the southern Hook Bay shear zone and the stream sediment sampling on the eastern side of the Property. An IP survey should also be conducted within the vicinity of the Hook Bay 1 showing. The stream sediment sample results for gold and copper show locally anomalous results in four sub-drainages of the Cook Creek drainage. Identifying the source of this anomaly requires follow up in subsequent field exploration programs.

The Hook Bay Property is situated in an economically and socio-politically stable area, and there are currently no known factors that would prevent further exploration or any future potential project development. However, as this is still an early-stage grass-roots phase of exploration, there is always the risk that the proposed work may not result in the discovery of an economically viable deposit. However, the author can attest that there are no significant foreseeable risks or uncertainties to the Property’s potential economic viability or continued viability directly arising from the quality of the data provided within this report.

26 RECOMMENDATIONS

26.1 Proposed Exploration Programs

Based on the evaluation of available data, the author recommends a multi-phase exploration program for the Hook Bay Property.

Preliminary and field components of Phase 1 investigations should include the following:

  1. A preliminary, detailed review of historical data, including complete digitization of the information from historical work, mapping, and sampling to provide a modern context to advance exploration efforts. Focus on an increased understanding of the nature and extent of mineralization using the existing geochemical and geophysical datasets.

  2. Detailed mapping and prospecting as well as systematic surface sampling across the mineral showings to delineate the extent, thickness, and characteristics of any mineralized zones. Work should include stream sediment, soil/till and/or moss mat sampling, and channel sampling of visible surface mineralization (Phase 1), and include the following:

  3. Detailed lithological and structural geological mapping over areas of outcrop exposure, and particular attention should be paid to understanding any stratabound versus discordant (vein and structure) hosted mineralization. It is expected that there will be significant structural controls on mineralization and understanding what these are will be critical to the ongoing exploration efforts.

  4. The stream sediment sample results for gold and copper show locally anomalous results in four sub-drainages of the Cook Creek drainage. Identifying the source of this anomaly requires follow up in subsequent field exploration programs.

  5. Systematic stream sediment sampling should be completed along the major drainages on all areas of the Property. This work could be extended beyond the Property to assess the extent of any anomalies beyond the Property boundary in support of additional land acquisition in the area.

  6. An orientation stream sediment sample program should be completed on the second-order drainages. Upon confirmation of anomalism related to copper mineralization and development of a robust methodology, this sampling procedure should be applied throughout the Property.

  7. Soil sampling lines and/or systematic grids (at 50 m to 100 m spacing), and/or moss mat sampling should also be completed along the ridgeline spurs and across areas of known mineralization and their strike continuation (for example, between the Hook Bay and Contented showings).

  8. A comprehensive QA/QC program should be implemented for all systematic sampling programs. Due to the high-grade nature of the identified mineralization, it is strongly recommended that a robust field duplicate and coarse lab duplicate program is implemented, as well as representative umpire sampling of the high-grade sample population.

A more detailed breakdown of Phase 1 work is provided in Table 26.1.

Phase 2 recommendations are conditional on the results of Phase 1, and include the following:

  • Ground and/or airborne geophysics, with specific techniques determined by the Phase 1 results (for example, an IP survey should also be conducted within the vicinity of the Hook Bay 1 showing).

  • Further artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) studies.

  • Technical data reviews by third-party experts in porphyry copper and VMS target generation that could support a preliminary diamond drilling program (3,500 m).

26.2 Preliminary Budget

A preliminary budget for future exploration work on the Hook Bay Property is summarized in Table 26.1 and a more detailed breakdown of phase 1 of work is provided in Table 26.2 below.
