• Radar Property
This property is located 70 kilometres west of Flin Flon, in Saskatchewan and consists of three claims (576
hectares). One additional claim, previously acquired by staking by Copper Reef, is contiguous to
the Radar property to the north. The property hosts two poorly defined copper zones.

Radar Highlights
      o North zone
          The best intersection was 2.72 per cent copper, 5.9 grams per tonne silver and 0.31 gram
          per tonne gold over 3.4 metres.
      o South zone
          The best intersection was 1.46 per cent copper, 5.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.9 gram
          per tonne gold over 3.7 metres Downhole pulse electromagnetic data suggest that stronger conductors lie           to the south at depth.

FLIN FLON CAMP
• Big Island Property Group
– Big Island East, Bartley Lake Properties
      o 1VMS zone, best intersection was 22.44% Zn, 0.58% Cu, 2.73 oz Ag and 0.17 oz Au/ 40.67 feet
      o Untested Spectrum Airborne on same horizon toward Trout Lake Mine.
      o 2 km east from HBMS’ Trout Lake Mine (approximately 20,000,000 tons)
      o Has on strike stratigraphy and same lithologies as the McBratney Lake (PGE) occurrence 500 m to the          south, best drill intercept of 8.9 g/t Pd, 1.6 g/t Pt , 1.6% Cu and 1,2% Ni (Hudson Bay’s McBratney          Occurrence)
Reference: Gale, G.H., and Eccles, D.R., 1988. Mineral deposits and occurrences in the Flin Flon Area, Manitoba, NTS 63K/13: Part I, Mikanagan Lake Area (63K/13SE), Mineral Deposit Series Report No. 1. Manitoba Energy and Mines, pg. 131.

• Smelter Property (Wax Claims)
          Location: Flin Flon, main mine area (276 hectares)
          These claims lie approximately 200 metres north of the Callinan orebody and one kilometre
          north of the Triple Seven orebody which are presently being mined. The property contains the
          same geological units as the mine stratigraphy. Copper Reef is planning deep-penetrating
          geophysical surveys to be followed immediately by drilling this fall and winter. Only one hole
           has ever been drilled into the property and that hole was shut down prior to intersecting the key
           mine unit. This property is considered by Copper Reef's management and colleagues in the area
           as the most exciting exploration target in the region. Please see the detail map showing the
           smelter claim area on the company's website.

Sherlynn Property
      o Location: Lynn Lake belt, near airport (1,371 hectares)
The property, consisting of 22 leased claims, is located four kilometres north of the city of Lynn Lake at Beige Lake.

Sherlynn Highlights
      o The Goodenough copper deposit was drilled by Sherritt Gordon in the 1950s.
         They outlined 165,000 tonnes (historic and non-43-101-compliant) of 2.63 per cent copper, 1.21
          per cent zinc and 2.06 grams per tonne gold. Granges in the late 1970s upped the historic
          resource (also not 43-101-compliant) to 330,000 tonnes of 2.48 per cent copper, 0.62 per cent
          zinc, 24.88 grams per tonne silver and 1.49 grams per tonne gold. The drilling outlined the
          mineralization down to 325 metres vertically and it has a strike length of 500 metres at surface
          with an average width of two to three metres.
      o The Barbara zinc zone is located 400 metres south of the Goodenough copper zone
         and is a poorly defined zone of semi-massive sulphides of pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. It
          has a strike length of 500 metres, with the deepest intersection down to 325 metres. Soil enzyme
          leach anomalies and TEM magnetic anomalies suggest an addition to the zone may extend 400
          metres south of any drilling to date. Deeper drilling was recommended by Aur Resources.
Some of the better historic results:
      o Intersected 0.42 per cent copper, 2.77 per cent zinc, 17.8 grams per tonne silver and
         0.6 gram per tonne gold over 6.1 metres (true width);
      o Intersected 0.21 per cent copper, 2.84 per cent zinc, 4.98 grams per tonne silver and
         0.20 gram per tonne gold over 4.1 metres (true width);
      o Intersected 420 grams per tonne silver and 12.69 grams per tonne gold over 0.8 metre
         (in a black argillite unit).

Counsell Property
This property is located 20 kilometres southwest of Lynn Lake where the Hudson Bay
rail line runs through the property. The property consists of 16 claims (2,586 hectares). Twenty
drill holes into the property have outlined four poorly defined mineralized zones.

Counsell Highlights
      o Boiley Lake zone
      o Intersected 3.6 per cent copper and one gram per tonne gold over three metres
         (2.9-metre true width);
      o Intersected 3.4 per cent copper and 1.1 grams per tonne gold over 2.1 metres
         (1.8-metre true width)
      o Intersected 3.3 per cent copper and two grams per tonne gold over 1.8 metres
         (1.8-metre true width)
      o Downhole pulse data suggest a two-to-three-times-stronger conductive body at depth which is
         undrilled.
      o Sell 6 zone
         The best intersection was 0.8 per cent copper over 3.6 metres
         (2.6-metre true width).
      o Counsel Lake zone
         The best intersection was 3.7 per cent copper and 0.8 gram per tonne gold over five metres
         (2.9-metre true width).
      o Sell 12 zone
         The best intersection was 1.1 per cent copper over 5.9 metres(4.2-metre true width).
      o Cook Lake Property
         This property is located 15 kilometres west of Snow Lake, Man., and consists of two
         separate non-contiguous claims.

Cook Lake Highlights
      o Cook Lake property
         This claim is located two kilometres west of the large new Lalor deposit presently being
         developed by Hudson Bay. It is thought that this claim may contain the down-plunge extension
         of the Pen 2 zone (owned by Hudbay Minerals) which hosts approximately 665,000 tonnes of 8.3
         per cent zinc only 200 metres to the southwest of the Cook Lake property.
      o Irene claim
         This claim is located just a few hundred metres north of Copper Reef's 100-per-cent
         wholly owned Woosey Lake property, where Copper Reef is planning to drill two new VTEM
         anomalies this winter. The mineralization on the Irene claims appears to be separate anomalies
         from the targets on the Woosey claims. The Irene claims contain two poorly defined areas of
         mineralization.
      o Irene Lake zone
         The best intersection was 4.58 per cent copper, 3.82 per cent zinc, 38.8 grams per tonne
         silver and 1.5 grams per tonne gold over 0.5 metre.
      o SCC zone
         This zone contained a 5.1-metre-thick unit of low-grade (1 per cent) copper and zinc massive sulphide.

NORTH STAR PROPERTY GROUP - Snow Lake, Manitoba
North Star Mining Lease, North Star, Star and Murr Properties
      o All weather road to site, Environmental surveys completed
      o Underground development to 100 foot level via ramp
      o 43-101 indicated resource of 19,100 tonnes of 10.6 g/t gold
      o Non 43-101 inferred resource of approximately 85,000 tonnes of similar grade calculated by Foran Engineers.
      o Blast holes from 400 drill holes from a surface bulk sample gave a average undiluted grade of 0.36 oz/ t Au          and underground sampling of faces gave an average grade of ).29 oz/t Au over 2.2 m
      o More drilling would be needed to prove up other resources and additional zones

Gold Rock Mining Lease
      o Lies on strike on the same shear as the North Star deposit
      o Contains high grade veins similar to North Star
      o Stockwell (GSC-1935) reports two adjacent sections of the vein: 17 m long averaging 14.9 g/t Au across an          average width of 0.95 m; and a 52 m long section averaging 39.4 g/t Au across an average width of 0.36 m.

Sewell Lake Property
      o Located on strike in same felsic package as former Dickstone Mine and to the north of VMS’s Reed Lake          discovery.
      o All weather road runs through property.
      o Contains a number of untested HLEM anomalies
      o 1 km south of former Dickstone copper zinc mine which produced 775,210 tonnes of ore at a average grade          of 2.4% copper, 3.12% zinc, 12.5g/t silver, 0.58 g/t gold and 0.8 % tin, Measured and indicated reserves          remaining unmined averaged 2.43% copper, 4.5% zinc, 10.6 g/t silver, and 0.41 g/t gold.
