Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX.V:PCQ) (OTC:PCQRF) (the "Company) holds a
gold property located in the south of the Sudbury mining camp,
Province of Ontario (the "Property"). The Evangeline property
consists of 24 map designated mining claims (cells) covering 600 Ha
property in Southwest of Espanola, Ontario, District of Sudbury
(NTS 41/04F) approximately 70 km Southwest of the town of Sudbury,
a major gold mining center in Central Ontario.
The property lies within a belt of Huronian
metasediments which strikes east-west for a distance of 53
kilometers. Numerous gold occurrences are found within this belt
adjacent to the Charlton Lake Fault in association with diabase
dykes. Several old gold and silver producing mines exist within
this metasedimentary belt. These mines were active during the late
1930's and early 1940' and include the McMillan Gold Mine, Majestic
Mine, Bousquet Mine, Hawry Creek Mine, Upsala Mine.
The Evangeline Lake property is similar to the
before-mentioned gold properties in the mineralogical and
structural nature of the gold mineralization. The gold bearing
quartz-carbonate veins in the area are apparently associated within
and at the contacts of folded quartzite and pelite units in close
proximity to diabase sills and dikes. Gold occurs in its native
state and intimately associated with arsenopyrite, pyrite,
pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. The gold bearing vein systems are
associated with fault/shear zone environments and at
pelite/quartzite contacts. With the increased value of gold there
is renewed interest for exploration in the area.
In 1934, Bob Tough Gold Mines Ltd completed a
diamond drill program in order to verify the potential of 2 gold
showings on the property. On the 'A' showing, the westernmost, a
diamond drill hole (#4) returned an intersection of 5.83 g/t Au
over 2.58 m, associated with a gold-bearing structure oriented N45E
with a dip towards the SE. On showing 'B', approximately 1km
further east, in a north-dipping east-west structure was
intersected in a diamond drill hole (#6) with low core recovery but
where the drilling mud returned a value of 25.37 g/t Au.
In 1934, a 3 compartment vertical shaft was sunk
to 46m on showing ‘B’, with 36m of crosscutting on the 40m level. A
quartz vein with visible gold (North Vein) cut at approximately 15m
along the shaft returned 14.74 g/t Au over 0.91 m,
and at the north end of the crosscut on the 40m level this quartz
vein returned 3.77 g/t Au over 1.52 m. A
second vein (South Vein) 7.6m to the south, returned from 5 grab
samples collected at 30m in the shaft an average of 4.87
g/t Au and in the crosscut on the 38m level this vein
returned an intersection of 3.77 g/t Au over 2.73
m (Figure 1).

During the following years, geophysical and
geological surveys were carried out sporadically on the property
and confirmed the continuity of the gold structures. During
1979-1980, sampling of the rock dump around the shaft yielded
values from trace to 28.45 g/t Au. In 1984,
sampling was executed on the main showing area and the best values
obtained ranged from 10.28 g/t Au to 123.75 g/t
Au. In 1992, thirty three (33) samples were collected on
the West showing and the East showing and were analysed for gold.
The best assays were obtained in the shaft area where 2 samples
returned values of 31,423 ppb Au
associated with a quartz vein with 3-5% pyrite and 3,089
ppb Au associated with a quartzite containing 1-2% pyrite.
Eight (8) others samples mineralized with either up to 15-50%
pyrite or up to 50% arsenopyrite returned values between
150 ppb Au and 950 ppb Au in the
same area.
In 2003 and 2004, a prospector executed
extensive sampling on showing West (Pit Island) and East (Bob Tough
Shaft) of Evangeline property. The best grab sample collected west
of the shaft returned 13.85 g/t Au. At 500m north
of the west showing on Pit Island, 2 grab samples returned
1.78 g/t Au and 3.01 g/t Au. On
the west showing, a grab sample returned 28.2 g/t
Au. At 350m south of the west showing, a sample returned
3.44 g/t Au and 500m south of the west showing a
sample returned 1.71 g/t Au. Between west and east
showings, two (2) collected samples returned 5.40 g/t
Au (#04-13) and 2.42 %Cu (#04-12). A
sample taken in the shaft area returned 20.5 g/t
Au and 0.9% Cu. Exploration in the mine
shaft area was continued in 2014 and 9 samples (#1 to 9) were
collected but only 5 of these samples were sent for analysis and
returned 978 ppb Au, 314 ppb Au, 215 ppb Au, 460 ppb
Au and 929 ppb Au (Figure 2).

The Property is located within a favorable
geological and structural environment already hosting several
gold-bearing zones. An exploration program including geological and
geophysical surveys is necessary to generate targets for more
detailed exploration works.
Meanwhile, Petrolympic is preparing an
exploration program on the Vauquelin property in Quebec. Based on
the last results, a drilling program will be executed in order to
extend the gold bearing structures already found on the property
and in order to test geophysical targets to find new mineralized
zones.
