1.0) SUMMARY

The property is made up of 42 map designated claims in one block, totalling 2212,21 ha. Expiration dates ranges from April 28, 2022, to January 23, 2023. There is no exploration work accumulated on the claims; on renewal, \$5,670 will be required in exploration work and mining duties will total \$6,535. The property is located in NTS sheet 32C04. It lies about 40 km due east of the village of Eastmain, or 55 km west of the Relais Routier 381. There is no road leading directly to the property; the closest road, which connects the James Bay road to the village of Eastmain, is located 13 km south of the property. A helicopter is required to access the property. Room and board can be found in the village of Eastmain or at Relais Routier Nemiscau.

Silverfish has an option to earn a 100% interest in the property by making cash payments of \$35 000, issuing 600,000 common shares and investing \$225,000 in exploration before October 8, 2022. The vendor retains a 3% NSR, two-thirds of which can be bought back by Silverfish at any time for \$2 million, leaving the vendor with a 1% NSR.

To the knowledge of the author, there are no environmental liabilities associated with the property. As the property is located on Crown lands, a forestry permit (permis d'intervention en forêt) is required, mainly for trenching and drilling. No permits are necessary for geological and/or geophysical survey, sampling, etc.

With the exception of a large-scale prospecting survey done in 1936 by Dome Mines, exploration of the Eastmain area really began in 1974 with a large-scale lake sediment survey by Société de développement de la Baie-James (SDBJ). From 1975 to 2013, the Ministère des Ressources Naturelles du Québec (MERN) carried out several geological surveys and studies covering the area. In terms of mining companies, only SDBJ, Canico, Westmin, Barrick Gold and Augyva carried out geological, geophysical and soil geochemical surveys, mainly on claims adjacent to the current Eastmain property. Drilling has never been reported on the property, and resource or reserve have never been estimated for the property;

From a geological perspective, the property lies in the Lower Eastmain greenstone belt, and is underlain by two major geological formations. The west part of the property is underlain by the Akakanipanuch Batholith, which is made up of felsic rocks, mainly tonalite, granodiorite and remnants of paragneiss. Many pegmatites are also known to occur in this batholith on the property. The east part of the property is underlain by the paragneiss of the Auclair Formation. They are associated with biotite/hornblende in the north part of the property and show a higher degree of metamorphism in the south part of the property, with minerals like garnet/staurolite and andalusite.

These two geological domains are well delineated by the airborne magnetic survey, the Akakanipanuch Batholith being more magnetic than the paragneiss of the Auclair Formation. There are no mineralized zones on the property.

The main deposit type searched for on the property consist of pegmatites of the LCT (lithium, cesium, tantalum) type, as many pegmatites were observed during the prospecting and sampling survey. The east part of the property is underlain by paragneiss and possibly host gold mineralization; this remains a possibility but has not been proved in the field.

Since acquiring the property, Silverfish has carried out a high-resolution helicopter-borne survey on lines 50 m apart for a total of 484 line-km flown. Two main magnetic domains were defined, with the western one representing the Akakanipanuch Batholith and the eastern one the paragneiss2 of the Auclair Formation. More recently, a three-day prospecting and sampling program was completed. Sixty-five samples were collected and analysed for gold and lithium and related elements (52 elements analysed). No anomalous results were obtained.

Even though the reconnaissance prospecting and sampling surveys did not return anomalous results, it is recommended that exploration resume on the property. In fact, these surveys were the first surveys that covered the property; historical surveys were done mainly at the northern edge of the current claims and barely touched the Eastmain property. To define drill targets, it is recommended that Phase I consist of systematic rock sampling and, where the bedrock does not outcrop, a soil geochemical survey. If warranted by the results of Phase I, Phase II program consisting of 2,000 m of drilling is recommended. The budget for Phases I and II is given hereafter.

4.6) ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

To the knowledge of the author, there are no environmental liabilities pertaining to the Eastmain property.

4.7) REQUIRED PERMITS

No permits are required for line cutting and geological, geochemical or geophysical surveys. However, a permis d'intervention en forêt4 is required for diamond drilling, stripping and trenching. It usually takes one to two months to obtain this permit.

4.8) SIGNIFICANT FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE PROPERTY

To the knowledge of the author, there are no other significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the property.

4 Permis d'intervention en forêt: forestry permit.

5.0) PHYSIOGRAPHY, ACCESSIBILITY, INFRASTRUCTURE AND CLIMATE

5.1) TOPOGRAPHY, ELEVATION, VEGETATION AND DRAINAGE

The topography of the property is relatively flat, with altitude ranging from 22 to 95 m above sea level. The property is located at the boundary between the boreal forest and the taïga. At this latitude, there is no logging (hence no logging roads) and no permafrost. This region is a preferred habitat for big game such as moose and bear and small game such as rabbit, fox and partridge. The Eastmain River crosses the property in an east-west direction and there are several creeks and lakes on the property, providing a source of water for drilling and mining operations if needed.

5.2) ACCESSIBILITY

The property is located approximately 40 km due east of the town of Eastmain, a Cree community of 800 people, and 13 km due north of the road that links the town of Eastmain and the Route de la Baie James. Relais Routier 381, along the James Bay road, is located approximately 55 km east of the property. It is owned and operated by SDBJ and can provide food and lodging for exploration crews and be used as a helicopter base.

There is no road leading directly to the property and a helicopter will need to be used for the first phases of exploration. The Eastmain River flows through the property in an east-west direction. The town of Eastmain is located about 700 km to the NNW of the town of Val-d'Or and is serviced by Air Creebec. Access to the property is shown in Figure 3, "Property access roads".

5.3) INFRASTRUCTURE

There is no mining infrastructure on the property, food and lodging are available at Eastmain or at Relais Routier 381, owned by SDBJ5 and located about 50 km to the ENE of the property. Services and equipment not available in Eastmain can be obtained from Matagami or Val-d'Or, located 453 and 700 km to the SSE, respectively.

5.4) CLIMATE

The Eastmain area climate is classified as continental subarctic. This climate type is dominated by a long, bitterly cold winter season with short, clear days, relatively little precipitation, mostly in the form of snow, and low humidity. Mean monthly temperatures are below freezing for six to eight months,

with an average frost-free period of only 50-90 days per year and snow remaining on the ground for many months. Summers are short and mild, with long days and a prevalence of frontal precipitation associated with maritime tropical air within traveling cyclones. Total annual precipitation is generally less than 500 mm, with a concentration in the summer. The average temperature for the year in Eastmain is -2.2°C. The warmest month, on average, is July, with an average temperature of 12.8°C. The coolest month on average is January, with an average temperature of -20.6°C. The average amount of precipitation for the year in Eastmain is 652.8 mm. The month with the most precipitation on average is July, with 86.4 mm of precipitation. The month with the least precipitation on average is February, with an average of 17.8 mm.6

Geological survey, soil surveys and stripping and trenching can be done from mid-May to mid-October, at this time of the year, usually the snow is gone. Geophysical surveys and drilling can be done all year long.

7.0) GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION

7.1) GENERAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING

The Eastmain property is located in the north part of the Superior Province, which itself lies in the heart of the Canadian Shield. The Superior Province extends from Manitoba to Quebec and is mainly made up of Archean rocks. The general metamorphism is at the greenschist facies, except in the vicinity of intrusive bodies, where it can go to the amphibolite-to-granulite facies. The Superior Province has been divided in several sub-units; the property straddles the boundary between the La Grande subprovince to the north and the Nemiscau sub-province to the south and east. The location of the property relative to the geological provinces is shown in Figure 4.

FIGURE 4: GENERAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING

7.2) REGIONAL GEOLOGY

Regionally, the property is located in the Lower Eastmain greenstone belt. Mouksil et al. give a good description of the Middle and Lower Eastmain greenstone belt in ET 2007-01. Their description is as follows:

"The region comprises an Archean volcano-sedimentary assemblage, which is assigned to the Eastmain Group. This group is made up of komatiitic to rhyolitic volcanic rocks and a variety of sedimentary rocks. The assemblage is overlain by the paragneiss of the Auclair Formation (Nemiscau and Opinaca basins). The mineral occurrences are spatially related to the Middle and Lower Eastmain greenstone belt (MLEGB) and grouped in very specific areas.

In the Middle and Lower Eastmain sector, four volcanic cycles are recognized based on age: 1) 2752 to 2739 Ma; 2) 2739 to 2720 Ma; 3) 2720 to 2705 Ma; and 4) <2705 Ma. Research on plutons allowed the identification of several suites (TTG, TGGM and TTGM7 ) with emplacement episodes spanning the period 2747 to 2697 Ma. Around 2668 Ma, late intrusions of granodioritic to granitic composition that are locally pegmatic transected the Auclair Formation. A number of lithium and molybdenum showings are associated with these late intrusions, which are attributed to a period of crustal extension.

The regional setting and the geochemical composition of the volcanic rocks of the Middle and Lower Eastmain belt suggest that the earliest volcanic formations are the product associated with ocean floor spreading (i.e. mid-ocean ridges and/or oceanic platforms). The period 2752 to 2720 Ma (stages 1 and 2) marks the construction of oceanic platform and a few andesitic arcs. The calc-alkaline (1-type) plutonic rocks (TTG) are indicative of subduction zone magmatism occurring around 2747 Ma, although an episode of crustal thickening, followed by melting at the base of the crust, may explain the emplacement of a considerable array of batholiths up until 2710 Ma.

The different types of synvolcanic mineralization reveal peak activity at specific stages of volcanic construction, that is, epithermal mineralization at ~2751 Ma, volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization between 2720 and 2739 Ma, and porphyry type mineralization at ~2714 Ma.

Between 2697 and 2710 Ma (stage 4), a resurgence of syntectonic plutonism (D1) occurred. After this period, crustal shortening (N-S) generated a number of regional faults (E-W to ENE) and widespread uplifting. The destruction of volcano-plutonic assemblages is partly reflected in the deposition of conglomerates (D2). Orogenic type gold occurrences are associated with two deformation episodes; however, the most extensive zones of mineralization, such as the Eau Claire deposit and the mineral occurrences on the Auclair property, are related to D2 events. Tectonic activity culminated with the formation of the Nemiscau and Opinaca basins (before 2700 Ma), which are associated with arcextension periods."

Regional geology is shown in Figure 5 on the next page.

FIGURE 5: REGIONAL GEOLOGY

7.3) PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The property is underlain by two major geological formations. The west part of the property is underlain by the Akakanipanuch Batholith, which is made up of felsic rocks, mainly tonalite, granodiorite and remnants of paragneiss. Many pegmatites are also known to occur in this batholith on the property.

The east part of the property is underlain by the paragneiss of the Auclair Formation. They are associated with biotite/hornblende in the north part of the property and show a higher degree of metamorphism in the south part of the property, with minerals like garnet/staurolite and andalusite. Figure 6 shows the property geology.

These two geological domains are well delineated by the airborne magnetic survey, the Akakanipanuch Batholith being more magnetic than the paragneiss of the Auclair Formation (see item 9.1, "Airborne survey" for a complete description of this survey ordered by Silverfish).

7.4) MINERALIZATION

No mineralized zones have been identified on the property to date.

FIGURE 6: PROPERTY GEOLOGY

8.0) DEPOSIT TYPES

8.1) LCT PEGMATITES

As the main geological unit observed during the reconnaissance survey consisted of pegmatites, the deposit type sought will be of the lithium-bearing pegmatite type, which is described below.

Lithium, tantalum and rare-metals-bearing pegmatites

Pegmatites are known to be present in association with granitic intrusions. They are observed as lenses or dykes filling schistosity planes and/or linear features related to major fault systems. Pegmatites form at depth and constitute residual phases of the main granitic body. They are enriched in silica, flux components and hydrothermal fluids, making them relatively fluid, so they migrate to some distance from the source magma.

Depending on various conditions, these residual fluids can carry immiscible valuable chemical elements that will form concentrations in the pegmatites as they consolidate in the vicinity of the main granitic body. The various conditions will also have an impact on the segregation level or zoning of the minerals forming the pegmatites.

The literature classifies pegmatites into two families: the LCT (lithium, cesium and tantalum) pegmatites and the NYF (niobium, yttrium and fluorine) pegmatites. On the property, the LCT type has the most potential. Figure 7 shows idealized zoned pegmatites around a granitic magma.

FIGURE 7: CHEMICAL EVOLUTION THROUGH A LITHIUM-RICH PEGMATITE GROUP, WITH DISTANCE FROM THE GRANITIC SOURCE. MODIFIED FROM TRUEMAN AND CERNY (1982)

8.2) QUARTZ VEINS

As the east part of the property is underlain by paragneiss, gold-bearing quartz veins may also exist on this part of the property; however, the geological knowledge must be refined with more surveys before defining a precise type of gold mineralization.

9.0) EXPLORATION

Since acquiring the property, Silverfish has completed a magnetic airborne survey and a three-day sampling program on the property.

9.1) MAGNETIC AIRBORNE SURVEY

From March 24 to 26, 2021, a high-resolution helicopter-borne survey was completed by Prospectair Geosurvey, with the interpretation done by Joel Dubé, P.Eng., geophysicist. A total of 484 line-km were surveyed on lines 50 m apart and oriented north-south, with control lines flown every 500 m perpendicular to the survey lines. During the survey, the helicopter was based at Relais Routier 381, located 55 km to the ENE of the property.

The results and discussion of the survey by J. Dubé are as follow:8

''Two very distinct magnetic domains are found in the survey area. First, the northwest part of the block is dominated by a wide deformed ellipsoid feature characterized by stronger magnetic background values and somewhat smooth and bulky textures, with several smaller-size curved units within or besides the main elliptic feature. This feature could relate to a sizable felsic-to-intermediate intrusive complex. Then, the areas to the east and south of this wide and complex magnetic anomaly are characterized by much weaker background values and linear magnetic features characteristic of alternating sequences of meta-sedimentary rocks, with possibly intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks. Some smaller-size felsic intrusive stocks may also occur locally. In a general sense, areas with lower background values and decreased signal variability are likely to be dominated by sedimentary rocks. Stronger anomalies relating to the large magnetic intrusive complex are best seen on Figure 8, which shows the residual TMI data with a linear colour distribution. Note, however, that these stronger anomalies are actually not very strong in absolute terms.

Several magnetic lineaments are curved, even heavily locally, either by folding or at the contact zone with the postulated intrusive complex, attesting that the area underwent strong deformation events in the past, and that shearing may have affected some of these lineaments. Pressure shadow areas at the contact zone with the wide intrusion may also have developed. These kinds of features could be

of interest for exploration. Aside from areas with possible intrusions, most magnetic lineaments are generally trending from ESE-WNW, mostly in the western part of the block, to ENE-WSW, mostly in its eastern part. In general terms, magnetic lineaments are related to rock formations that are enriched in magnetic minerals (magnetite and/or pyrrhotite).

In some areas it is possible to detect structural features offsetting observed magnetic lineaments and causing abrupt interruption or changes of the magnetic response. These features are typically caused by faults, fractures and shear zones. If they are though to be favourable structures in the exploration context of the Eastmain project, they should be paid particular attention and should be the object of a comprehensive structural interpretation, which is beyond the scope of this report.

Shorter wavelength anomalies are greatly enhanced on the FVD (Figure 9) and on the TILT (Figure 10) products. Since the FVD attenuates longer wavelength anomalies and the TILT enhances very weak amplitude anomalies, they are the preferred products for structural interpretation.

Figure 8, 9 and 10 can be found on next pages.

9.2) SAMPLING PROGRAM

On May 11, 12 and 13, 2021, a prospecting and sampling program was carried out on the property. This program was mainly a reconnaissance survey to verify the geological units present on the property and sample them. This program was done by a crew of four persons, under the supervision of Richard Genest, a geologist. The other members of the crew were Jean Robert, prospector, and Carol-Ann Genest and Hugo Leclerc, both helpers. During the survey, the crew stayed at Relais Routier 381, located along the James Bay Road. A helicopter was used to access the property and to move the crew around once on the property. Heli Explore from La Sarre provided the helicopter.

A total of 65 samples were taken and analysed for gold and 52 elements, including Ag, As, Cu, Ni, Zn and Li. No real anomalous result was obtained. A map showing the location of the samples can be seen in Figure 11, and analytical results are set out in annex 1 to this report.

FIGURE 11: PROSPECTING SURVEY, SAMPLE LOCATIONS

10.0) DRILLING

Silverfish has not done any drilling since acquiring the property.

11.0) SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS AND SECURITY.

Samples were taken by the crew under the supervision of Richard Genest, a certified professional geologist. Grab samples were taken in the most promising units, in this case the pegmatites. They were put in sample bags and the UTM position was recorded, and in many cases a photo was also taken. The samples were brought back to Relais Routier Nemiscau every night and kept under the supervision of Richard Genest. On return to Val-d'Or, the samples were re-checked and in some case re-packaged in plastic bags by the co-authors of this report and brought by Mr. Genest to the ALS laboratory in Val-d'Or. No breaches in samples security were reported by the field crew or by the laboratory.

Due to the limited number of samples, no blanks or standards were added to the analytical chain by the authors. All the samples were analysed following the ALS code ME-MS89L, which is specific for minerals contained in pegmatites. This method uses Na2O fusion and ALS's super traces ICP-MS9 methodology. To be sure nothing was missed, all the samples were also analysed for gold according to ALS code Au AA23, where 30 grams of the sample are analysed for gold by fire assay with a atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. In Val-d'Or, the ALS laboratory is located at 1322 rue Turcotte; ALS is a laboratory certified ISO/IEC 17065 by both ANSI and SCC.

The author is of the opinion that the sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures are reliable and consistent with the industry standards, and the results obtained are reliable.

12.0) DATA VERIFICATION

In fact, historical work reported has mainly been done in the vicinity of the property and sometimes covered only a small part of the property. This work is impossible to verify, as only the reports still exist. On the other hand, the reconnaissance survey by Silverfish, discovered many new pegmatites, and many of them had never been sampled before. Over the 3 days of prospecting and sampling only a small fraction of the property has been prospected and many outcrops have not been visited because of lack of time.

13.0) MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

Silverfish has not done any mineral processing and/or metallurgical testing, and none has been reported in the past.

14.0) MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

No mineral resources have ever been estimated for the property, nor have historical resources ever been reported on the property.

ITEMS 15 TO 22

Items 15 to 22 are as follows:

  • 15.0) Mineral Reserve Estimates;
  • 16.0) Mining Methods;
  • 17.0) Recovery Methods;
  • 18.0) Project Infrastructure;
  • 19.0) Market Studies and Contracts;
  • 20.0) Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social or Community Impact;
  • 21.0) Capital and Operating Costs;
  • 22.0) Economic Analysis.

These items refer to properties at the development stage and do not apply to the Eastmain property.

23.0) ADJACENT PROPERTIES

There are currently no adjacent properties that could have a material impact on the Eastmain project. However, the Elmer property, held by Azimut Exploration, is located about 12 km to the NE of the property and the Patwon zone on the Elmer property is located 20 km to the NE of the Eastmain property. On the Patwon zone, Azimut has reported many gold-bearing intersections in drill holes, with 24.04 g/t Au over 18 m, 3.15 g/t Au over 102.5 m, 6.43 g/t Au over 40.6 m and 4.43 g/t Au over 46.05 m. Figure 12 shows the location of the Eastmain property relative to the Patwon zone.

Please note that the author has not been able to verify the information and that the information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the property that is the subject of the technical report

24.0) OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INFORMATION

All the relevant data and information has been given in the described items.

FIGURE 12: LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY RELATIVE TO THE PATWON ZONE

25.0) INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

The history of the property is still recent, with the first serious exploration dating back to 1975. The MERN did several geological surveys and studies, mainly to delineate the main geological units and the stratigraphy of the area. Mining companies have mainly done airborne geophysical and soil geochemical surveys, usually at the northern edge of the Eastmain property.

The property is underlain by two geological formations, with a tonalitic batholith occupying the west part of the property and the paragneiss of the Auclair Formation in the east. The contact between the two formations is well defined by the magnetic survey. Many pegmatites occur in the tonalite and close to the contact between the two formations.

Since acquiring the property, Silverfish has completed an airborne magnetic survey and a three-day reconnaissance prospecting and sampling survey. No anomalous results have been obtained, either for gold or for lithium and associated elements. This reconnaissance survey covered only a fraction of the property and most of the property remains untouched. In light of these facts, it is recommended that exploration resume on the property.

26.0) RECOMMENDATIONS

Even though the reconnaissance prospecting and sampling surveys did not return anomalous results, it is recommended that exploration resume on the property. In fact, these surveys were the first surveys that covered the property; historical surveys were done mainly at the northern edge of the current claims and barely touched the Eastmain property. To define drill targets, it is recommended that Phase I consist of systematic rock sampling and, where the bedrock does not outcrop, a soil geochemical survey. If warranted by the results of Phase I, a Phase II program consisting of 2,000 m of drilling is recommended. The budget for Phases I and II is given in table 5.
