McVicar Lode Mining Claim, Nevada. Phase II Exploration Program
The Phase II exploration program on the McVicar Lode Mining Claim as outlined in the writer’s report dated December 26, 2007 has been completed. The work was performed by New Zone Explorations and consisted of a magnetometer survey and a VLF-EM survey covering the entire McVicar Lode Mining Claim. The program was modified to substitute the geochemical survey, as originally proposed, to a VLF-EM survey. The modification was based on the surface rock exposure and limited soil horizons that would be required to provide an effective evaluation of soil analysis.

The McVicar Lode Mining Claim is comprised of one located claim with an area of 20 acres located in the Goodsprings (Yellow Pine) Mining District situated within the southwest corner of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. The McVicar Lode Mining Claim covers some former exploratory workings on a mineral showing.

The Yellow Pine Mining District, although less famous than many of the other mining districts of the Great Basin, nevertheless ranks second only to Tonopah in total Nevada lead and zinc production. During World War I this district was one of the most productive mineral producers in the west; but by the end of World War II only a few mines remained in operation. The region is also known for its historic production of lead, zinc, silver, and gold. The favorable host rock for the indicated mineralization on the McVicar Lode Mining Claim is indicated as a limestone. Although information on the mineralization at the McVicar Mine is not known, the mineralization at the Root Mine within one mile to the northeast is reported as hydrozincite, calamine, and cerussite; galena occurs as residual pods in masses of cerussite. Production from the Root Mine is reported as 3,896,057 pounds of zinc, 858,055 pounds of lead. Rostock Ventures Corp.

Phase II Exploration Program

Based on the field data accumulated from the completion of the Phase II exploration program on the McVicar Lode Mining Claim, five maps represented as Figures 3 to 7 in this report, were prepared. Figure 3 shows the magnetometer raw field data; Figure 4 shows the contoured raw field data; Figure 5 shows the VLF-EM survey raw data; Figure 6 shows the VLF-EM raw data as Fraser Filtered results; and Figure 7 shows the contoured Fraser Filtered results with the interpreted VLF-EM anomalous zones.

The result of the magnetometer survey as shown by Figure 4 indicates two magnetometer highs (HI); one in the south and one in the north of the McVicar Lode Mining Claim. The southern HI is specific and centrally localized in the grid bounded by 1100S to 1290S and 150E to 275E. The northern HI is general with localized HI’s in the grid bounded by 425S to 625S and 100E to 450E.

The results of the VLF-EM survey as shown on Figure 7 indicating the interpreted VLF-EM anomalies, three anomalies are indicated on the McVicar Lode Mining Claim; A, B, and C. Anomaly A is situated in the north and is comprised of two trends; an east-west trend and a northeasterly trend with an intersection at 425S, 125E. The intersection correlates with the area of the northern magnetometer HI.

Anomaly B is situated central in the Claim and is comprised of two west-northwest trends which may be one indicated structure offset by a northeast trending zone, which is not shown as an anomaly on the map but is indicated by the extended northeasterly eastern portion of Anomaly B. The main intersection could be at 750S, 310E within an area of magnetometer lows (LO) Anomaly C is situated in the south and is comprised of a west-northwest trending zone, open to the west, with a high (HI) at 1050S, 290E; the eastern end. The HI correlates with the upper portion of the southern magnetometer HI.

It is concluded that the results of the Phase II exploration program were successful in delineating correlative anomalous areas with an indication of potentially economical mineral controlling structures and/or mineralization. The magnetometer HI’s may indicate near surface intrusives creating the structures, as indicated by the VLF-EM anomalies, and providing the primary mineralization which is indicated as primary and altered secondary surface mineralization. The areas of the indicated intersecting VLF-EM anomalies/structures are the prime areas for locating potential economic mineral zones.
