Technical Report
The Agreement provides Eloro with the option to earn a 50% undivided interest in
the Project by completing $4 million in exploration work on the Project over a 3
year period, subject to a one-time six month extension at Eloro's option after
the first year, whereby $750,000 would be incurred in the first year, $1.25
million in the second year and $2 million in the third year; paying Megastar
$350,000 cash over a three year period, and issuing 4.5 million common shares of
Eloro to Megastar as follows: (1) 750,000 common shares upon execution of a
definitive option agreement (the "Option Agreement") and TSX Venture Exchange
approval, (2) 750,000 common shares on the first year anniversary of the Option
Agreement, (3) 1.5 million common shares on each the second and third
anniversary of the Option Agreement. Should Eloro elect to utilize the six month
extension on either the second or third year's exploration commitments, Eloro
would issue an additional 100,000 common shares to Megastar. Eloro would be the
project manager and operator. After Eloro completes its earn-in, Eloro and
Megastar will form a joint venture reflective of their proportionate ownership
interest in the Project with Eloro acting as operator. Should either Eloro or
Megastar's participating interest in the Project be diluted to less than ten
percent, the diluted party's interest will be converted to a 2% net smelter
returns royalty. The non-diluted party can acquire one-half percent of the
royalty from the diluted party for $1 million, thereby reducing the royalty from
2% to 1.5%. This transaction is subject to the receipt of all required
regulatory and board approvals.
The Simkar project has been the subject of two National Instrument ("NI") 43-101
compliant technical reports, one in 2004 and a second in 2008. The first was
titled "Technical Report (NI 43-101 F1) on the 2004 drilling Program, Simkar
Property (Val-d'Or, Quebec), Louvicourt Township, Province of Quebec, Canada
(NTS: 32C04)", by C. Pelletier, B. Sc., P. Geo. (of InnovExplo Inc.), dated
December 6, 2004. The 2008 report was titled "Technical Report (NI 43-101)
Simkar Property , Val d'Or, Quebec" (the "Report") was prepared by M. Bourgoin,
P. Geo., of MRB & Associates, and R. Sandefur, P. Eng., of Chlumsky, Armbrust
and Meyer LLC. Both reports are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com (under
Megastar Development Corp).
From 1987 to 1993, over $12 million of surface exploration and underground
development work was completed on the Project. The exploration work successfully
defined significant gold mineralization in the extensions of the previously
mined A,B and C Zones, as well as defining new gold resources in three new gold
bearing structures, the East, F, and Pillar Zones. Subsequently, the existing
underground workings were dewatered and new underground development was
completed to access the East Zone on two levels. This underground development
work led to the extraction of 71,068 tonnes grading 8.42 g/t gold for
approximately 20,000 ounces of gold.
Megastar acquired all rights, titles and interests of the Project in 1996. Since
then, Megastar completed ground geophysics; surface diamond drilling totaling
8,000 m in 26 holes; and integrated the former Simkar Gold Mine underground
workings into a GEMCOMTM GEMS 3-D mine model. This work led to the Report and
mineral resource estimates in 2008 which are outlined in the following table to
a vertical depth of -200 m:-----------------------------------------------------

Eloro's plan going forward is to enhance the 3-D mine model with detailed
interpretation work in preparation of a drill program to test the down plunge
extension of all of the gold structures below the 200 m vertical depth,
particularly on the East Zone Shear, where the gold grades are higher than those
defined elsewhere on the Project. Eloro is of the opinion that the presence of
higher grade tension veins intersected by Megastar in the 2007 surface diamond
drilling work (140.0 g/t gold over 0.5 m, 99.8 g/t gold over 0.3 m, 33.9 g/t
gold over 1.0 m, and 31.0 g/t gold over 0.5 m) represents strong evidence of the
similarities of the Simkar Gold Deposit with the 9 million ounce Sigma-Lamaque
Gold Deposit located 20 km to the west. |
