INTERNATIONAL MONTORO RESOURCES LTD. ZTEM 2D Synthetic Modeling Pecors/Serpent River Project, Elliot Lake ON Buried Magmatic Massive Sulphide Target BY JM Legault, M.Sc.A., P.Eng, P.Geo Chief Geophysicist – Geotech Ltd. 6-Jan-2017

Modeling Objectives Pecors 3D Magnetic Inversion ~3km From: hawke@cogeco.ca [mailto:hawke@cogeco.ca] Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2016 10:19 AM To: Jean M. Legault Subject: RE: ZTEM information   Jean I made up three hypothetical orebodies that I believe might be achievable for the project in question and I calculated an average conductivity for the body based on a mix of 35% pyrrhotite, 20% chalcopyrite, 15 % pyrite and 30% rock. This would work out to a conductivity of 3.6 mSm. You may have better numbers than I and if so feel free to substitute your own. The three hypothetical orebodies are as follows 30 Mt -  600m length 110m wide and 300 m thick 15Mt – 600m length 50m wide and 150 m thick 7.5 Mt – 600m length 25m wide and 50m thick If we were to bury each one at depths of 700m, 1400m and 2100m which one if any or what combination would produce a response(s) on the ZTEM. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated Sincerely Don Hawke ~3km (after Reed, 2014) Pecors ZTEM 2D Synthetic Model Pecors Magnetic Anomaly 6000 m Objective: Using Geologic Model from Magnetic inversion Create Conceptual Model and Determine detectability of buried ~7.5Mt Magmatic massive sulphide body buried at 700m, 1400m & 2100m using ZTEM airborne EM.

CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS Synthetic 2D modeling was performed to test the applicability / suitability of ZTEM for exploring for buried magmatic massive sulphides in the Pecors/Serpent River project near Elliot Lake, Ontario. 7.5 Mt body was estimated for 3.5gm/cc density to be 10m thick x 300m wide x 700m long. But 2D model ignores strike length so infinite strike was assumed for 10m x 300m wide conductor. Conductivity fixed at 0.1 ohm-m for Nickel Sulphides for modeling. Three different model scenarios were studied: 100 Siemens (0.1 Ω-m x 10m thick (5 siemens) conductors at +700m, +1400m and +2100m depths of burial, associated with massive-sulphide bodies below thick Huronian cover and inside Archean mafic intrusive. The synthetic 2D ZTEM response was calculated using the Wannamaker et al. (1985) 2D MT forward modeling code in Geotools. These synthetic data were then used as input for the 2D ZTEM inversion using the Geotech Av2Dtopo code by Wannamaker (Uof Utah). The 2D synthetic results suggest that all these 700-2100m deep targets will be easily detected as anomalies; however it will not be possible to recover the layered cover or to differentiate/discriminate individual mafic intrusive bodies in Archean basement. Note, 15Mt and 30Mt sulphide bodies were not tested in ZTEM modeling, but given the success for 7.5 Mt, larger, more highly conductive bodies should also be detectible, provided they area reasonably 2-dimensional (i.e., approx. >1-3km long). We expect that the ZTEM tipper amplitudes will weaken for shorter strike length 3D bodies. Respectfully submitted JM Legault, M.Sc.A., P.Eng, P.Geo Chief Geophysicist – Geotech Ltd. 6-Jan-2017
