Summary

The Livengood property is located in approximately 115 km northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska in the Tolovana mining district within the Tintina Gold Belt. The area of interest is centered on a hill named Money Knob. This feature is considered by many to be the lode gold source for the Livengood placer deposits which lie in the adjacent valley to the north and have been actively mined since 1914 with production of more than 500,000 ounces of gold.

The property has been prospected and explored by several companies and private individuals since the 1970’s. Some of the past exploration data is available but most derives from the most recent work conducted by AngloGold Ashanti (U.S.A.) Exploration Inc. (“AGA”). Geochemical surveys by Cambior in 2000 and AGA in 2003 and 2004 outlined a 1.6 x 0.8 km area with anomalous gold in soil. Scattered anomalous samples continue along strike for an additional 2 km to the northeast and 1.6 km to the southwest. Eight reverse circulation holes were drilled by AGA in 2003 and a further 4 diamond core holes were drilled in 2004 to evaluate this anomaly. Favourable results from these holes revealed wide intervals of gold mineralization (BAF-7; 138.7m @ 1.07 gt Au; MK-04-03; 55.3m @ 0.51 g/t Au) along with lesser intervals over a broad area. Over the past two years, exploration by ITH through its wholly owned Alaskan subsidiary, Talon Gold Alaska Inc., has been aimed at assessing this area of mineralization through drilling diamond core and reverse circulation holes.

Rocks at Livengood are part of the Livengood Terrane, an east–west belt, approximately 240 km long, consisting of tectonically interleaved assemblages of various ages. These assemblages include the Amy Creek Assemblage consisting of latest Proterozoic and early Paleozoic basalt, mudstone, chert, dolomite, and limestone. In thrust contact above the Amy Creek Assemblage lies an early Cambrian ophiolite sequence of mafic and ultramafic sea floor rocks. Structurally above these rocks lies a sequence of Devonian shale, siltstone, conglomerate, volcanic, and volcaniclastic rocks which are the dominant host to the mineralization currently under exploration at Livengood. The Devonian assemblage is overthrust by more Cambrian ophiolite rocks. All of these rocks are intruded by Cretaceous multiphase monzonite, diorite, and syenite stocks, dikes, and sills. Gold mineralization is believed to be related to this intrusive event.

Gold mineralization occurs in two styles: as multistage fine quartz veins occurring in all lithologies (commonly near intrusive dikes and sills), and as diffuse mineralization within volcanic, intrusive, sedimentary, and mafic-ultramafic rocks without a clear quartz vein association. Mineralization is interpreted to be intrusion-related, consistent with other gold deposits of the Tintina Belt and has an As-Sb geochemical association. Thrust-fold architecture is apparently key to providing pathways for magma (dikes and sills) and hydrothermal fluid.

Drill results have been used to estimate a resource for the Money Knob area. The estimated amount of gold varies significantly according to the choice of cutoff grade. A range of tonnes and grade with corresponding contained ounces have been estimated. At a 0.5 g/t Au cutoff, an Indicated Resource of 69.53 Mt @ 0.83 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 87.88 Mt @ 0.77 g/t Au and are estimated. This amounts to an Indicated Resource of 1.86 M oz Au and an Inferred Resource of 2.170 M oz Au. This resource evaluation marks a significant improvement in total Resource ounces and an upgrade of Inferred Resource ounces to Indicated status from the previous Resource estimate earlier this year. Mineralization has not been closed off in any direction but has not been followed to the north of the Lillian Fault.

ITH has identified a significant resource. ITH has proposed exploration expenditures of approximately US$6.6 million for 2009. This program is anticipated to include approximately 25,000m of drilling to further evaluate the Livengood property. It is recommended that exploration of the Money Knob area continue with systematic drilling at evenly spaced centers along regularly spaced lines and include step-out drilling to identify the limits of mineralization. Overall, the program should aim to undertake a scoping study to determine economic parameters for a potential mining operation. The 25,000m of drilling proposed is an appropriate amount of drilling for the needs of the project and the time available in the field season.

Property Description and Location

4.1

Area and Location

The Livengood project is located approximately 115 km by road (85 km by air) northwest of Fairbanks in the northern part of the Tintina gold belt (Figure 4.1). At this location, the property straddles, but lies predominantly to the north of, the Elliot Highway, the main road connecting Fairbanks with the Alaskan far north. The property lies in numerous sections of Fairbanks Meridian T8N and Rs4 and 5W. Money Knob, the principle geographic feature within the area being explored, lies near the center of the claim block and is located at 65^o30’52’’N, 148^o27’50’’W.

The key area of interest lies on the north flank of Money Knob and is a zone of gold mineralization with as yet undetermined extent. This area lies within a 1.6 x 0.8 km northeast-trending soil sample anomaly and is currently being assessed by drilling. The surface geochemical anomaly is situated within in a broader area of less pronounced anomalism that extends a further 2 km to the northeast and 1.6 km to the southwest. This zone is described further in Section 9.0.

4.2

Claims and Agreements

The Livengood Property (Figure 4.2) consists of an aggregate area of approximately 10,300 acres (4,150 hectares) controlled through agreements between TGA and the State of Alaska and TGA and various private individuals who hold state and federal patented and unpatented mining and placer claims. All property and claims controlled through agreements are listed in Appendix 1. These agreements are with the Alaska State Mental Health Land Trust (AMHLT), Richard Hudson and Richard Geraghty, Ron Tucker, the Griffin heirs, and Karl Hanneman and the Bergelin Family Trust.

The AMHLT lease (#9400248), signed July 1, 2004 by AGA and assigned to TGA on August 4, 2006, includes advance royalty payments of US$ 5/acre/year which escalates to US$ 15/acre in years 4-6 and US$ 25/acre in years 7-9. The lease has a work commitment of US$ 10/acre in years 1-3, US$ 20/acre in years 4-6, and US$ 30/acre in years 7-9. The lease carries a sliding scale production royalty of 2.5% @ US$ 300 gold up to 5% for a gold price more than US$ 500. In addition, an NSR production royalty of 1% is payable to AMHLT with respect to the unpatented federal mining claims subject to the Hudson & Geraghty and the Hanneman and Bergelin Family Trust lease. AHMT owns both the surface and subsurface rights to the land under lease to TGA.

The Hudson and Geraghty lease, signed April 21, 2003 by AGA and assigned to TGA on August 4, 2006, has a term of 10 years and for so long thereafter as exploration and mining operations continue. TGA is required to make advance royalty payments of US$ 50,000 per year, which are credited to production royalties. Production royalties vary from 2% to 3%, depending upon the price of gold. TGA has the option to buy down 1% of the royalty for US$ 1 million. The 20 claims under this lease are unpatented federal lode mining claims that have no expiry but require a claim maintenance fee of US$ 125/claim/year to keep them in good standing.

The Tucker mining lease of two unpatented federal lode mining and four federal unpatented placer claims has an initial term of ten years, commencing on March 28, 2007 and for so long thereafter as mining related activities are carried out. The lease requires payment of advance royalties of US$ 5,000 on or before March 28, 2009, US$ 10,000 on or before March 28, 2010 and an additional US$ 15,000 on or before each subsequent March 28 thereafter during the initial term (all of which minimum royalties are recoverable from production royalties). ITH is required to pay the lessor the sum of US$ 250,000 upon making a positive production decision. An NSR production royalty of 2% is payable to the lessor. ITH may purchase all interest of the lessor in the lease property (including the production royalty) for US$ 1million. The 6 leased claims are federal claims without expiry. A fee of US$ 125/claim/year or US$ 125 worth of work/claim/year is required to maintain the claims in good standing.

The Griffin lease of three patented federal claims is for an initial term of ten years (commencing January 18, 2007), and for so long thereafter as the Company pays the lessors the minimum royalties required under the lease. The lease requires minimum royalty payment of US$ 10,000 on or before January 18, 2009, US$ 15,000 on or before January 18, 2010, an additional US$ 20,000 on or before each of January 18, 2011 through January 18 2016 and an additional US$ 25,000 on each subsequent January 18 thereafter during the term (all of which minimum royalties are recoverable from production royalties). An NSR production royalty of 3% is payable to the lessors. ITH may purchase all interest of the lessors in the leased property (including production royalty) for US$ 1 million (less all minimum and production royalties paid to the date of purchase), of which US$ 500,000 is payable in cash over 4 years following the closing of the purchase and the balance of the US$ 500,000 is payable by way of the 3% NSR production royalty.

The Hanneman/Bergelin Family Trust ground is held via a binding letter of intent with an effective date of September 1, 2006. The lease of 169 Alaska State mining claims is for an initial term of ten years, commencing on September 11, 2006, and for so long thereafter as mining related activities are carried out. The lease requires payments of US$ 50,000 in each of years 2-5 and US$ 100,000 in each of years 6-10 and work expenditures of US$ 100,000in year 1, US$ 200,000 in each of years 2-5, and US$ 300,000 in each of years 6-10. An NSR production royalty of 2% and 5% is payable to the lessors (depending upon the price of gold). ITH may buy all interest in the property subject to the lease (including the retained royalty) for US$ 10 million.

On Alaska State lands, the state holds both the surface and the subsurface rights. State of Alaska 40-acre mining claims require an annual rental payment of US$ 25/claim to be paid to the state (by November 20), for the first five years, US$ 55 per year for the second five years, and US$ 130 per year thereafter. As a consequence, all Alaska State Mining Claims have an expiry date of November 30 each year. In addition, there is a minimum annual work expenditure requirement of US$ 100 per 40 acre claim (due on or before noon on September 1 in each year) or cash-in-lieu, and an affidavit evidencing that such work has been performed is required to be filed on or before November 30 in each year. Excess work can be carried forward for up to four years. If such requirements are met, the claims can be held indefinitely. The work completed by ITH during the 2008 field season will be filed as assessment work, and the value of the work is sufficient to meet the assessment work requirements through September 1, 2012 on all unpatented Alaska State mining claims held under lease.

Holders of Alaska State mining locations are required to pay a production royalty on all revenue received from minerals produced on state land. The production royalty requirement applies to all revenues received from minerals produced from a state mining claim or mining lease during each calendar year. Payment of royalty is in exchange for and to preserve the right to extract and process the minerals produced. The current rate is three (3%) percent of net income, as determined under the Mining License Tax Law (Alaska).

All of the foregoing agreements and the claims under them are in good standing and are transferable. Except for the patented claims, none of the properties have been surveyed.

Holders of Federal and Alaska State unpatented mining claims have the right to use the land or water included within mining claims only when necessary for mineral prospecting, development, extraction, or basic processing, or for storage of mining equipment. However, the exercise of such rights is subject to the appropriate permits being obtained.

4.3

Environmental Requirements

Project activities are required to operate within all normal Federal, State, and local environmental rules and regulations. This includes proper and environmentally conscientious protection of operational areas against spills, capture and disposal of any hazardous materials including fuel, drill fluids, and other materials used by equipment that are part of the drilling and exploration process. Reclamation of disturbed ground and removal of all refuse is part of normal operations.

With over 90 years of placer mining activity and sporadic prospecting and exploration in the area, the site has undergone moderate to considerable historic disturbance. Some of the historic placer workings are now overgrown with willow and alder. The old mining town of Livengood is now abandoned except for road maintenance buildings. ITH does not anticipate any obligations for recovery and reclamation of historic disturbance.

Total disturbance associated with ITH’s planned exploration is minimal but drill pads and access ways need to be cleared. For much of the exploration area, disturbance is in areas covered by secondary growth of alder, willow, and spruce. The highest ground is bare or covered in small shrubs.

All drill sites are reclaimed on an on-going basis after exploration activities in that area are finished.

There are no known wildlife issues. Wildlife in the area consists of moose, bear, and various small mammals. None were observed in the course of the site visits.

There are no known existing environmental liabilities.

4.4

Permits

Operations which cause surface disturbance such as drilling are subject to approval and receipt of a permit from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (“ADNR”) and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). The ADNR permit for ground controlled by the State of Alaska, initially issued to AGA (ADNR #9748) has been transferred to TGA, and has been amended for the 2008 program and is effective until the end of the year. An application for a new multiyear ADNR permit is in progress. Exploration on Federal ground is permitted by the BLM under a Plan of Operations covered by EA-AK-024-08-010 (File FF095365) and is effective, without time limit, up until commencement of mining.

An additional permit is required from the US Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) if exploration activities are expected to affect wetlands areas. ITH has applied for an Individual Permit based on a USACE Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination which will allow ITH to drill in areas of shrub tundra on and around Money Knob. The application has gone through the public comment period, responses to the public comments have been submitted and the permit is expected to be issued in the near future.

There are no known issues at this time that would hinder ongoing renewal of any permits.

There are no known issues concerning water beyond normal operational obligations. These fall under operating permits issued by the state.

There are no known native rights issues concerning the project area.

Access, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

5.1

Access

The Livengood Project area is located approximately 115 km northwest of Fairbanks on the Elliot Highway, which provides paved year-round access to the area. At present there are no full time residents in the former mining town of Livengood. A number of unpaved roads have been developed in the area providing excellent access to areas of immediate interest.

5.2

Climate

The climate in this part of Alaska is temperate and mild in summer with average lows and highs in the range of 7 to 22^oC. Winter is cold with average lows and highs for December through March in the range of -27 to -5^oC. Annual precipitation is on the order of 23 cm which arrives mostly in the summer.

5.3

Local Resources

The project is serviced from Fairbanks, population 87,000. As central Alaska’s principle center of commerce it is home to many government offices including Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, the U.S. Geological Survey, as well as the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The town is serviced by major airlines with numerous daily flights to and from Anchorage and other locations. Helicopters and fixed wing aircraft are readily available. All supplies necessary for the project can be obtained in Fairbanks.

5.4

Infrastructure and Physiography

The project is situated in forested hilly countryside with subdued topography partly owing to widespread deposition of loess and gravel in valleys (Figure 5.1). Elevation ranges from a base level in streams of about 150 to 700m (500’ to 2317’) at Amy Dome along the east side of the property. Streams meander in wide valleys. Ridge lines are generally barren with sparse vegetation.

The area is drained by Livengood Creek which flows to the southwest into the Tolovana River which then joins the Tanana River and ultimately the Yukon River approximately 190 km to the west.

Existing infrastructure includes a paved highway which passes through the property and within ~ 1.6 km of Money Knob. Lesser unpaved roads are developed throughout the property. A repeater tower has been built on Radio Knob approximately 1.6 km east of Money Knob.

6.0

History

Gold was first discovered in the gravels of Livengood Creek in 1914 (Brooks, 1916). Subsequently, over 500,000 ounces of placer gold were produced and the small town of Livengood was established. Since then, the primary focus of prospecting activity has been with the placer deposits. Historically, prospectors have considered Money Knob and the associated ridgeline to be the source of the placer gold. Prospecting in the form of dozer trenches was carried out for lode type mineralization in the vicinity of Money Knob primarily in the 1950’s. However, to date no significant production has been derived from lode gold sources.

Several companies have explored in the Livengood District over the past 30 years for lode gold mineralization. A summary of these programs is shown in Table 6.1. Placer Dome’s work appears to have been the most extensive, but it was focused largely on the northern flank of Money Knob and the valley of Livengood Creek.

AGA acquired the property in 2003 and undertook an 8-hole RC program on the Hudson-Geraghty lease. The results from this program were encouraging and were followed up with an expanded soil geochemical survey which identified anomalous zones over Money Knob and to the east. Based on the results of this and prior (Cambior) soil surveys, 4 diamond core holes were drilled in late 2004. Results from these two AGA drill programs were deemed favourable and a follow-up core hole drilling program was planned but not executed due to financial constraints. ITH drilled these holes as part of a 1227 m, 8-hole program in 2006. An additional 4400 m in 14 diamond core holes were drilled in 2007 to test surface anomalies, expand the area of previously intersected mineralization, and advance geologic and structural understanding of subsurface architecture.

In 2003, as part of a larger state-wide program, the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys undertook a district-scale program of mapping and whole rock geochemical sampling in support of the mapping. They report “one highly anomalous sample that yielded slightly over one ounce per ton gold” (Athey and Craw, 2004).

Geophysical work in the vicinity includes an airborne magnetic survey by Placer Dome in 1995. This data has not been recovered. They also conducted VLF surveys in the northern part of the district in 1996 with only limited success because of the mixed frozen and thawed ground. This data is only partially preserved. The state of Alaska flew a 400 meter line spaced DIGHEM survey (an aerial, multi-channel electromagnetic technique) over the Livengood District in 1998. AGA ran a series of CSAMT (Controlled-Source Audio-frequency Magneto-Telluric) lines across Money Knob in 2004. This survey was designed to look for resistive intrusive bodies in the subsurface. The survey appeared to map the main thrust zone but did not appear to delineate hidden intrusive bodies.

Geological Setting

7.1

Regional Geology

The Livengood ‘district’ is a portion of the broader Tolovana Mining District. It is situated in a complex assemblage of rocks known as the Livengood Terrane (Figure 7.1). This Terrane is an east–west-trending belt, approximately 240 kilometres long, bounded on the north by splays of the dextral Tintina-Kaltag strike-slip fault system and other terranes to the south. It is composed of a complex sequence of rocks which do not match assemblages of the adjacent Yukon – Tanana Terrane. Throughout the Livengood Terrane, individual assemblages of various ages are tectonically interleaved. Each assemblage, and perhaps the stratigraphy within each assemblage, is bounded by both low to moderate (?) angle thrust faults and steep faults, of which at least some of the latter type are interpreted to be splays of the Tintina Fault system.

The Livengood Terrane is overprinted by later Mesozoic intrusions believed to have originated in the back-arc position above subducting oceanic crust. These intrusions are quartz monzonite to diorite to syenite in composition and some of them are believed to be responsible for gold mineralization of the Tintina Gold Belt (Goldfarb, et al., 2000). The Livengood district occurs within the Tintina Gold Belt, an arcuate belt of gold mineralization that extends from the Yukon to south-western Alaska and hosts numerous gold deposits, including Fort Knox and other deposits of the Fairbanks District and the Donlin Creek deposit in the Kuskokwim region.

7.2

Local Geology

In the vicinity of the Livengood project, the lowest rocks are latest Proterozoic to early Paleozoic basalt, mudstone, chert, dolomite, and limestone of the Amy Creek Assemblage (IPzZ units on Livengood geology map; Athey et al., 2004) (Figures 7.2 and 7.3). These units are believed to represent incipient ocean floor basalt in a continental rift system and overlying sediments. The origin and age are poorly constrained but fossil evidence suggests a depositional age of latest Proterozoic to Cambrian time.

Structurally above the Amy Creek Assemblage lies an early Cambrian ophiolite sequence (Plafker and Berg, 1994). This assemblage consists of structurally interleaved greenstone, pyroxenite, metagabbro, layered metagabbro, and serpentinite (Figures 7.2 and 7.3). Metamorphic ages suggest that this assemblage was emplaced over the Amy Creek Assemblage by north-directed thrust faults during Permian time.

The ophiolite sequence is, in turn, structurally overlain by Devonian rocks which include shale, siltstone, conglomerate, volcanic, and volcaniclastic rocks (Figures 7.3 - 7.6). This assemblage is the principal host for gold mineralization. These rocks have been subdivided into “Upper” and “Lower” sediments with volcanics between (Figure 7.3). The Upper Sediments consist of siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate, and shale. The Lower Sediments tend to be finer grained with shale dominant. Use of trace element ratios has helped discriminate these units from one another. The volcanics consist of flows and pyroclastic rocks. Some of these volcanic rocks were previously mapped as Cretaceous intrusive rocks (Athey et al., 2004). However, through use of trace element ratios, it is now known that most of the rocks mapped as “Ruth Creek Pluton” are volcanics and part of the Devonian stratigraphy.

Structurally above the Devonian assemblage is a klippe of the Cambrian mafic and ultramafic rocks with tectonically interleaved wedges of cherty sedimentary rock believed to belong to the Amy Creek Assemblage (Figure 7.4). The thrust contacts between the various rock units indicates that there has been extensive thrust stacking and interleaving of the different assemblages as well as possible local interleaving of some units within the assemblages.

Rocks in each of these assemblages have been folded, but overall, they strike east-west to northwest-southeast and dip shallowly to moderately south, consistent with postulated northward directed thrust transport. Drill intercept patterns and foliation-bedding relations observed in core (Figures 7.6 d and e) indicate that these rocks define recumbent folds between thrust surfaces. Later Cretaceous dikes and sills intrude the sequence, some of which intrude along these faults.

The thrust-stacked Paleozoic sequence described above is intruded by back-arc Cretaceous (91.7 – 93.2 m.y.; Athey and Craw, 2004) multiphase monzonite, diorite, and syenite stocks, dikes, and sills with equigranular to porphyritic textures. Athey et al. (2004) concluded that the intrusive rocks were the primary host to the gold mineralization. However, exploration work since then has shown that these rocks are Devonian volcanics which have undergone extensive alteration along with introduction of mineralization in quartz and quartz-carbonate veins. Narrow Cretaceous stocks (?) and large dikes are biotite monzonite. Narrower, late (?) stage dikes are composed of non-biotite feldspar porphyry +/- syenite, and aplitic non-biotite felsic intrusives (Figure 7.6). Mineralization appears to be spatially associated with these dikes.

The most significant faults of the area are low to moderately south-dipping thrust faults which juxtapose rock assemblages of different ages and origin (Figure 7.3). Other faults are subvertical, trend approximately east-west and are thought to be related to the dextral Tintina-Kaltag fault system. West of Money Knob, a north-south normal fault is known as the Myrtle Creek Fault. Inferred west-side down movement on this fault may have influenced the paleo-drainage system of the area. Based on a number of lines of evidence, it is believed that Livengood Creek used to flow to the northeast. Capture of the stream by the Tolovana River, and reversal of flow could have been related, in part, to movement along the Myrtle Creek Fault (Karl, et al., 1987; Athey and Craw, 2004).

Exploration work from 2006 through 2008 by ITH confirms the structural features and previously interpreted geologic history of the Livengood area. Drilling and surface work have helped define details particularly with the use of principle component geochemical evaluation. This technique utilizes the relative abundance and ratios of various immobile elements and has enabled discrimination of Devonian volcanics from Cretaceous intrusive and dike rocks as well as the upper and lower sedimentary assemblages. Interpretive cross sections (Figures 7.7 – 7.9) show the results of ITH work and their interpretation.

7.3

Geological Interpretation

At the district scale, thrust stacking of rock assemblages (Amy Creek, Cambrian ophiolite, Devonian sedimentary and volcanic rocks) is reasonably well understood. Drilling reveals that there are numerous local fold and thrust complications which are only partially understood at this stage. It is likely that faults and fractures produced during the fold-thrust deformation localized dikes and auriferous hydrothermal fluid. Gold mineralization largely appears to be controlled by and is spatially related to the thrust architecture.

Local lithologic effects may contribute to vein patterning and or location of diffuse mineralization. Mineralization spatially associated with dikes appears to occur within ‘damage zones’ related to the thrust faults. However, the exact relationship and relative orientations of these features is not fully understood. Structural measurements in drill core indicate that the dominant dike orientation is east-west striking with dips 30-50 degrees to the south. Many of the dikes are in faults or are bounded by faults suggesting that they, at least partially, follow thrust faults. Measured fault orientations in core reveals a broad scatter of attitudes but with clustering reminiscent of the dike orientations. This pattern of partial coincidence between dikes, faults, and mineralization envelopes reinforces the interpretation that the dikes and faults are key controls for mineralization.

Despite these apparent relations, mineralization in sections 428850, 428925 and 429075 appear to lie oblique to the thrust fault contact between rocks of the Cambrian ophiolite and the Devonian assemblage (Figures 7.7-7.9). Although it is not possible to reliably correlate individual dikes between the drill holes on these sections it is clear that the 30-50 degree dip of the dikes and associated structures is compatible with the southerly dipping zones of mineralization. These relationships need further evaluation. Improved understanding ought to offer predictive information for the location of more mineralization.

8.0

Deposit Types

Gold occurs in vein and disseminated styles of mineralization. It occurs in and adjacent to narrow (≤10 cm) multistage quartz veins dominantly in volcanic rocks, but also in intrusive, sedimentary, and ophiolite rocks, generally near intrusive dikes and sills. Gold also occurs as diffuse mineralization through the same rocks without a clear association with quartz veins. Many of the dikes appear to fill thrust-related structures and some of the diffuse mineralization occurs in envelopes around these zones. Mineralization associated with dikes and sills is analogous to that at the Donlin Creek deposit where gold occurs in fine quartz veins associated with dikes and sills of similar composition (Ebert, et al., 2000). However, mineralization at Money Knob is not tied to arsenopyrite as it is at Donlin Creek. In the broader sense, mineralization at Money Knob appears to be spatially related to Cretaceous intrusions, consistent in style, timing, and composition to numerous gold deposits and mineral occurrences of the Tintina Gold Belt (McCoy, et al., 1997; Smith, 2000).

Vein mineralization of the Livengood property is interpreted to be intrusion-related epigenetic type. The character and geochemical association of As-Sb is suggestive of formation at a crustal level higher than mesothermal depths (~5-10 km) and deeper than shallow epithermal systems (≤3 km). Thrust-fold architecture is apparently key to providing pathways for magma (dikes and sills) and hydrothermal fluid.

Mineralization

Historically, the Livengood district has been known for its >500,000 ounce placer gold production. The source of this gold is unknown, but the principal drainages which fed the placer gravels are sourced from Money Knob and the associated ridgeline. Prospecting in this area has revealed numerous gold-bearing quartz veins, generally associated with dikes, sills and stocks of monzonite, diorite, and syenite composition. The reduced magma type and porphyritic to brecciated textures as well as local zones rich with arsenopyrite, are characteristics common to many deposits of the Tintina Gold Belt (e.g. Brewery Creek, Donlin Creek) (McCoy, et al., 1997; Smith, 2000).

No lode production has taken place at Money Knob. Exploration of the area by various companies, including soil surveys by Alaska Placer Development, Cambior, AGA and ITH, reveals a 6 x 2 km northeast-trending anomalous area in which a 1.6 x 0.8 km area forms the locus of current exploration interest (Figure 9.1). Despite drilling of 157 holes to September 27, 2008, this area has been only partially drill tested.

The 2003 reverse circulation drilling program conducted by AGA intersected gold mineralization interpreted to be the result of a large intrusive-related gold system. Multiple intercepts of > 1g/t Au were encountered in 7 of the 8 holes. Subsequent drilling by AGA in 2004 and ITH in 2006 through 2008 has consistently intercepted significant gold-bearing intervals and demonstrated the presence of Indicated and Inferred resources. Some of the results of this drilling are highlighted in Table 9.1.

Drilling in 2008 has provided adequate detail to show that mineralization occurs primarily in volcanic rocks, but is also present to a significant degree in the upper and lower sediments and to a lesser degree in mafic-ultramafic rocks. Mineralization appears to be contiguous over an area approximately 1 km square and ranges up to 160m thick. The dip of mineralized envelopes ranges from subhorizontal to 45 degrees to the south; nearly all drill holes are inclined at 50 degrees to the north in an effort to cross the mineralized zone as close to perpendicular as possible. Surveys show that the RC holes steepen to approximately 70 degrees over the length of the hole. The limits of the mineralized system are not closed off in any direction, although the Lillian Fault produces a significant discontinuity along the northeast side of the mineralized zone.

GT – grade thickness = Length m x g/t

Better gold values (>1 g/t) tend to be associated with dike margins and broad zones within adjacent volcanic and sedimentary or mafic-ultramafic rocks. Mineralization occurs internal to some of the dikes. Gold can be associated locally with increased concentrations of quartz veining +/- scattered coarse blebs of arsenopyrite and/or stibnite. Where gold occurs in sedimentary host rocks, host veins are most common in brittle siltstone, sandstone, and pebble conglomerate as opposed to shale. The diffuse style of mineralization is spatially associated with areas containing vein mineralization, but gold can be present where there is no discernable quartz veining to explain it.

Mineralization is accompanied by complex alteration assemblages, which are currently the subject of ongoing investigation. Preliminary results indicate that there is widespread albite alteration which occurs as radiating plumose rosettes (Figure 9.2). In addition, secondary silica, sericite, and carbonate are also present. Sericite is widespread through many rocks, particularly the sedimentary ones. Carbonate occurs throughout the rocks and in sulphide-bearing quartz veins and veinlets. Where rocks have been albitized, quartz-carbonate veinlets cross-cut the albite indicating that this stage of veining post-dates albitization. Silicification is widespread and may accompany albitization.

Exploration

10.1

Past Exploration

Several companies have explored the Livengood area as outlined in Section 6 (History). Results from that work include identification of a sizeable area of anomalous gold in soil samples and drilling significant intervals of anomalous gold mineralization (described in previous sections).

ITH has collected 81 soil samples in 2006 and 180 soil samples along with 78 surface rock samples in 2007. These samples have helped ITH better define the distribution of gold in soils on the southwest side of Money Knob and better delineate the distribution of gold and rock types between Money Knob and Radio Knob.

ITH undertook drilling of areas beneath the surface geochemical anomalies in 2006 with favourable results. In 2007, the area was drilled sufficiently to produce a resource evaluation (Giroux, 2007) and a program for 2008 was planned that would improve that evaluation.

10.2

Current Exploration

To date, drilling has been sufficient to allow estimation of a resource (section 17). Through September 27^th, the ongoing 2008 exploration program completed 27,100m of RC and core drilling in 93 RC holes, 8 diamond core holes. Assays results for 61 holes were available as of the preparation of this report. Assays for a further 48 holes are pending. Available data from the 2008 program and that from previous drilling has been used to produce a resource model, the results of which are discussed in Section 17 (Resource Evaluation).

ITH also undertook a small soil sampling program consisting of 88 samples on 6 NW-trending lines. These samples were collected north of the Lillian Fault where it is uncertain where the Devonian volcanic units lie beneath thick vegetative cover. Analytical results from these samples are currently being evaluated, but indicate that the volcanics and lower sediments are present north of the Lillian Fault and are potentially mineralized.

Drilling

11.1

Past Drilling

All of the companies that have explored at Livengood in the past, except Cambior, have undertaken drill programs to evaluate their targets. In each case, drill holes were targeting different geologic concepts such as veins in bedrock beneath the alluvial gold. Drilling to date by AGA and ITH has focused on a modest portion of the surface anomaly area (Figure 11.1).

Drilling in 2003 consisted of 1514 m of vertical and angled reverse circulation (RC) drilling in eight holes. It identified broad zones of gold mineralization (BAF-7; Table 9.1). Drilling in 2004 consisted of 654m of HQ coring in 4 diamond drill holes which were designed to test for gold mineralization beneath the soil geochemical anomaly that occurs along the thrust fault at the base of the Cambrian rocks. These holes were up to 1.7 km to the west of 2003 drill holes. This drilling identified thick zones of gold mineralization in Devonian rocks beneath relatively barren, thrust-emplaced Cambrian rocks. (MK-04-03; Table 9.1). These results highlighted the fact that significant mineralization could exist beyond the limits of the main soil anomaly, particularly in blind locations beneath thrust faults.

Core drilling (HQ) in 2006 (8 holes, 1,230m) and 2007 (14 holes, 4,400m) focused on extending and defining the geologic setting of mineralization first recognized in MK-04-03. This mineralization is hosted primarily in the Devonian volcanic rocks and, to a lesser degree, in the overlying and underlying Devonian sedimentary rocks where it is commonly associated with dikes (Figure 11.2).

The RC drilling in 2003 was conducted by Layne Christiansen Company using an MPD 1500 Track RC drill. Drilling in 2004 was also by Layne using a CS1000 core drill. No drilling took place in 2005. In 2006 and 2007, ITH completed 22 core holes.

11. 2

Current Drilling

In 2008, through September 27, ITH drilled 27,900m of RC and core in 93 RC and 8 core holes. Approximately 15 additional holes will be completed by the end of the year. The goal of the drill program was to better define and expand the Resource calculated earlier in the year based on 2007 data. Objectives included:

Drilling enough holes at a suitable spacing to convert some of the current Inferred Resource to Indicated.

Test anomalous surface geochemistry outside of the area of current drilling with wide-spaced reconnaissance drilling.

Testing conceptual targets and geologic models for continuations of mineralization at depth and across faults.

Thus far 57 of the 61 holes for which there are assays have intersected significant mineralization (Table 9.1) and the Lillian Zone remains open ended in all directions. In addition, this drilling indicates an area where the mineralization is significantly thicker (up to 199m; Table 9.1) and extends through the structural/stratigraphic section from the surface in the ophiolitic rocks through the volcanic section and then into the sedimentary rocks below.

Drill hole locations were measured using sub-meter differential GPS surveys at the drill collar. For core holes, azimuth and inclination were measured using an EZ-Shot bore hole surveying device. Orientation of reverse circulation drill holes was determined using the Gyro-Shot survey instrument. Precision and accuracy of these methods was assessed through a series of duplicate surveys using both instruments. These surveys were completed by Northern Associates, Inc. and observed in the field by Dr. Klipfel. Results of surveys and duplicate tests show normal deviation in azimuth and inclination and reproducibility within a close margin of error.

Sampling Method and Approach

12.1

Past Sampling

The sampling procedures of previous companies are not known but the major companies that did the work are known for their conscientious QA/QC protocols. Sample data from past programs are consistent with more recent data generated by ITH. On this basis, there is no reason to doubt the validity or credibility of samples from Occidental, AMAX, Homestake, or Placer Dome. The similarity of results for each program suggests that sample collection and analytical procedures are sufficiently similar to allow use of their data by ITH in current exploration efforts.

For samples collected by AGA, all soil, stream sediment, rock, and drill sampling was done according to AGA in-house protocols for geochemical sampling. These protocols specify technical procedures for collection and documentation of samples. In general, -80 and -200 mesh material was analyzed for soils and stream sediment respectively. Dr. Klipfel reviewed these protocols as well as AGA’s security procedures and verified that they met or exceeded standard industry practices. Sampling procedures remained the same through the course of the 2003 and 2004 exploration programs.

All AGA geochemical samples were secured and shipped to Fairbanks according to AGA protocols for sample preparation (drying, crushing, sieving, and pulverizing) at ALS-Chemex in 2003 and Alaska Assay in 2004. Sample splits (300-500g for rock material; -80 mesh for soil samples) were sent to ALS Chemex in Vancouver for analysis. Analytical methods used were standard 50g fire assay with AA finish and four-acid digestion, multi-element ICP-MS. These are standard analytical packages for the exploration industry and are performed to a high standard. Analytical accuracy and precision were monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Quality control was further assured by the use of international and in-house standards. ALS Chemex is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada, NATA (Australia) and is an ISO 17025 accredited company.

AGA reverse circulation drill samples were collected at five foot intervals as measured by the driller. Pulverized material from the hole was passed though a cyclone to separate the solids from the drilling fluid and then over a spinning conical splitter. The splitter was set to collect two identical splits each of which weighed 2-5 kg. Representative material was also collected and saved in chip trays for later visual inspection. The split material was put into pre-numbered bags by the drillers’ helpers on site. One of the splits was sent for analysis while the other was retained for future reference. Samples were secured and transported to the sample preparation facility of ALS Chemex in Fairbanks for drying, crushing, pulverization, and splitting. 120 gram splits were sent to Vancouver for analysis by standard 50 gm fire assay with AA finish and multi-element ICP-MS. The RC chips were logged by project geologists by recording basic information on the lithology, alteration, and mineralization for each interval.

AGA’s core material was collected at the drill site and placed in core boxes under the supervision of an experienced geologist and Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101. It was logged for rock type, alteration, structure, and with detailed descriptions. Dr. Klipfel has examined the core logs and core from the four 2004 holes and can verify the reliability of the logging. Sample intervals were determined on the basis of the distribution of veining and alteration with a minimum sample width of 30 cm and the maximum width of 1.5m. Samples were collected to isolate different components of the alteration and mineralization to characterize them.

After the samples were marked out, the core was sawed in half and one half sent for analysis. The other half was either kept on site or at AGA’s core storage facility in Fairbanks. The average recovery in the core program was in excess of 90% and there is no indication that poor recovery is an issue in the interpretation of the assay data. Sampling was selective but barren samples were always collected to bracket zones of mineralization so that reliable boundaries could be defined in the intercepts. Dr. Klipfel examined this core in the course of the site visits.

12.2

Current Sampling

ITH has adopted and continued the sampling protocols used by AGA and described in the previous section, with the exception that all drill holes are sampled from surface to total depth. This assures a high level of reliability in the sample data set and assures continuity of methodology, laboratory standards and conventions as well as confidence in the data generated.

13.0

Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security

13.1

Past Procedures

Soil and drill samples obtained in 2003 and 2004 exploration programs were subject to AGA’s in-house methodology and Quality Assurance Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols. Samples were analyzed by various methods by different laboratories.

In general, all sampling campaigns were subject to insertion of blanks and standards approximately every 25 samples. Blank samples consist of material known to contain below detection amounts of the metal for which the sample is being tested. Standards consist of sealed sachets of material with a certified abundance of the metal for which the sample is being tested. Standards and blanks are inserted into the sample sequence to test the laboratories preparation and analytical procedures.

Duplicate core and rock samples are run from pulp and coarse reject splits along with sample repeats approximately every 20 samples. Duplicate samples were also collected at the drill rig for 2003 RC drilling. Results of AGA’s QA/QC program have been reviewed by Dr. Klipfel. Overall, the QA/QC samples indicate that sampling and analytical work is accurate and reliable. There were two instances of issues with blanks and standards out of compliance with AGA protocols, but these were satisfactorily resolved by AGA. The sample database does not appear to be compromised.

13.2

Current Procedures

ITH has continued with the QA/QC protocol of AGA as described above and increased the number of control samples (blanks and standards) to 1 in 10. Duplicate splits of drill samples are prepared for every 20 samples. ITH has undertaken rigorous protocols to assure accurate and precise results. Among other efforts, ITH weighs samples before shipping. They are then reweighed by the laboratory when received and logged in. Sample reject material is then weighed again by the laboratory after the sample aliquot has been removed for pulverization. This tracking of samples enables constant verification of quality throughout the analytical process.

Samples are analyzed by standard 50g fire assay for the gold determinations. All core samples and select RC drilling samples are also submitted for multi-element ICP-MS analyses using a 4 acid digestion technique. All RC samples are analyzed on site for trace elements using a Thermo Fisher Scientific NITON portable XRF. Trace element abundances as determined by ICP and XRF are used to help discriminate lithologic units such as Devonian volcanics from Cretaceous intrusive rocks and the sedimentary rocks above the volcanics from those below the volcanics. Also, because arsenic correlates strongly with gold, an XRF determination of arsenic abundance helps ITH anticipate gold-bearing zones before assays are returned. This information has proved constructive for drill planning and execution.

The QA/QC data from ITH sampling program has been reviewed by Dr. Klipfel. Analyses of blanks and standards that fall outside of an acceptable range such as 3x detection limits for blanks or 10% for standards are flagged for investigation. Unless a suitable explanation, such as a sample switch, can be found, the error is reported to the laboratory and the sample intervals around the questionable sample are rerun. A new certificate is issued by the lab for the reanalysis if the correct values for the standards and blanks are determined. Errors are generally attributable to sample switches, weighing errors and contamination of the first sample in a batch. Multi-element QA/QC is monitored using the compositions of the blank and standard materials.

Duplicate samples are used to test both the laboratory procedures and to ensure that the sampling procedure is representative. Pulp duplicates (334 in 2008), representing multiple assays of the same pulverized material show that the laboratory procedures are precise and that the pulp material is generally uniform with errors of generally less than 10% (Figure 13.1). Errors greater than 10% are believed to be due to the nugget effect and this is considered normal for gold deposits. Coarse duplicates (296 in 2008, 81 in 2007), created by splitting either core samples after coarse crushing or splitting raw RC chips, show a somewhat higher degree of variability but demonstrate no bias to either high or low grade. The reproducibility of the pulp duplicates also indicates that the gold is not so coarse that it causes major nugget effects. The variability in the coarse duplicates indicates that mineralization is not uniformly distributed within the sample material. This is consistent with the interpretation that gold is, at least partially, hosted in narrow veins and veinlets, which when crushed produce a small number of mineralized fragments in the overall sample, thereby causing a type of nugget effect during the coarse sample splitting. Dr. Klipfel considers these results to be appropriate for Livengood mineralization and indicative of sound QA/QC procedures.

14.0

Data Verification

Field and drill core observations made by Dr. Klipfel during site visits are consistent with the style of mineralization and alteration interpreted and reported in ITH documents. Outcrop exposures in drainages, trench faces, road cuts, and along the ridge lines were examined and found to be consistent with existing geological maps.

Drill logs, sections and maps were reviewed and are to a high quality. Information is consistent with observations of core and surface exposures.

In 2006, Dr. Klipfel collected a single sample along 3 m of a trench face where intrusive material with quartz veins is exposed. This sample was crushed, split, pulverized and assayed with a 50 g fire-assay AA finish method by ALS Chemex in Reno, Nevada. The sample contains 1.31 g/t Au, a value consistent with generalized results from AGA sampling and expectations for material of that type and location.

In 2007, Dr. Klipfel collected seven samples from portions of two different drill holes, MK-07-18 and MK-07-20, from the remaining half of drill core previously sampled by ITH. Samples were selected for a range of gold content and rock type. The range of gold content in these samples is from below detection to 16.8 g/t Au. The core was quartered for the same sample interval as previously collected by ITH. Core material was bagged, labelled and information recorded by Dr. Klipfel and by ITH staff. Sample bags were sealed and transported to the ALS-Chemex laboratory in Fairbanks for sample preparation. Pulverized material was split into 300 gram master pulps and 120 gram analytical pulps before being sent to ALS Chemex in Vancouver for analysis. All samples except one returned results reasonably consistent with results from the ITH original sampling. The single sample that is different contains 0.61 g/t Au compared to 6.92 g/t Au in the original ITH analysis. This discrepancy is similar to the few discrepancies that occur in ITH’s QA/QC sample duplication procedures. For this reason, the discrepancy is interpreted to reflect normal variation attributable to nugget effect. To the extent that this type of error is throughout the database, it is equally likely that some samples report low when the other half of core might report higher.

In 2008, 31 samples (26 RC and 5 core) were collected by Dr. Klipfel for verification analyses. These samples came from 5 different RC holes and 1 core hole. Samples were selected at random and specifically for a range of gold content from near detection limits (0.005 g/t Au) to high grade (20.9 g/t Au). Half-core that remains after a first sample was quartered and analyzed. Two standard and two duplicate samples demonstrated good reproducibility. RC samples demonstrated reasonable reproducibility, and core samples showed a range. No systematic bias was observed. Dr. Klipfel interprets these results to be normal scatter and nugget effect typical of mineralization at Livengood and for gold in general.

In addition to three rounds of sample verification, Dr. Klipfel witnessed the sluicing and panning of concentrated “clean up” material shovelled from a trench face. The material contained a significant amount of fine colors as seen in the panning dish verifying the presence of free gold at a range of sizes in that part of the trench face.

Dr. Klipfel has not verified all sample types or material reported. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, ITH has been diligent in their sampling procedures and efforts to maintain accurate and reliable results.

Adjacent Properties

Another claim block called the Shorty Creek claims is controlled by Select Resources and is located approximately 10 km to the SW of the Livengood project area. This area is actively being explored for gold mineralization by Select Resources.

The Alaska Pipeline, the main means of transporting crude oil from Alaska’s North Slope to the south coast of Alaska, runs northwest-southeast about 8 km to the west. This feature is not expected to have any impact on the project.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

In 2004, AGA attempted to test the cyanide solubility of gold in drill sample material by analyzing samples containing more than 200 ppb Au. Samples were sent to ALS Chemex for a 30g cold cyanide leach assay (Au-AA24). 198 samples were analyzed in this manner and they show consistent CN soluble assays, on average about 60% of the fire assay value (AGA in house memorandum to files). The significance of this result is unclear because there are many variables which could affect this outcome. These include small sample size, nugget effect, host rock type, sulphide content, other mineral content, encapsulation, and possible inappropriate testing method. Of these, nugget effect is expected when there is coarse free gold which was witnessed by Dr. Klipfel in the sluice sample of trench face material. Sulphide is present and also could be a significant factor. In an effort to determine which minerals might impact the cyanide test, AGA used principle component analysis for four sets of ‘factors’. They concluded that As and Sb had little impact, but that sulphide content and coarse gold were the leading contenders for lowering recovery in the CN leach samples.

In Dr. Klipfel’s opinion, this test was inconclusive due to small sample size and nugget effect. However, it should be an indicator of processing and recovery possibilities and issues. It also showed that gold and sulphide characterization studies are needed for metallurgical and process planning. Any such study should address sample size, coarse free gold content, distribution and location of gold in host rock, material type (shale, volcanic, intrusive) , and sulphide content. At this stage, the results should only be considered as a preliminary indicator of potential refractory issues for a cyanide leach process.

In 2006, ITH submitted a single sample of unoxidized vein-related mineralization to Hazen Research for a gold characterization study. The sample showed that the bulk of the gold occurs as micron-scale native gold grains in and adjacent to pyrite and arsenopyrite grains with a smaller number of grains associated with silicate gangue. Cyanide recovery in a bottle roll test was 61% (Table 16.1, Sample 1A).

In 2007 six more samples were submitted to Hazen Research for additional gold characterization studies. These samples represented both high and low grade mineralization from oxidized, partially oxidized and unoxidized material. Cyanidization of the samples shows that the cyanide extraction of gold is very high on the oxide samples and partially oxidized samples (Table 16.1) and somewhat less in the sulphide material. Two of the sulphide samples (Table 16.1, samples 3 and 1A) were from rock with albitic alteration and they each return 60% cyanide recovery. The 3^rd sulphide sample (Table 16.1, sample 5) came from rock with sericite alteration and has only a 42% recovery.

A very important result of this work is the observation that, for all the samples tested in 2007, the bulk of the gold recovered by cyanide extraction is released the first 16 hours. This implies that the gold is readily available to the cyanide solution. Further studies will address the cyanide extraction on both fine and coarse material as a first step in the determination of the optimal recovery process. Twenty four samples are currently undergoing testing as part of this effort.

Mineral Resource Estimate

ITH commissioned Mr. G. Giroux of GCL to prepare an initial resource estimate in early 2008 based on drill intercepts through the end of 2007. The new resource estimate presented here is based on drill sample assay results available as of September 27, 2008 and includes data from 61 additional holes drilled in 2008.

17.1

Data Analysis

ITH provided Mr. Giroux with a drill data base for the Livengood Project consisting of 40 diamond drill holes, 8 percussion drill holes, 68 reverse circulation drill holes and 11 trenches in the Money Knob area. At the time of this resource estimate, gold analytical results for 2008 Reverse Circulation holes were available from MK-RC-001 to 55, 57 and 60. A listing of data used in this Resource estimate is attached as Appendix 2.

During the historic exploration of this deposit a number of companies have sampled the mineralization in a variety of ways. Table 17.1 outlines the companies, style of sampling, year of program and number of metres sampled.

While there is no true way of comparing the results from each style of sampling as all are in different volumes of rock (Figure 17.1), there appears to be no significant bias present with all styles reporting roughly the same average grade (Table 17.2). The one exception was silver in percussion where only 10 samples were taken and all reported 0.001 g/t. Based on this limited review there appears to be no reason not to include all styles of sampling in this resource estimate.

Based on the distribution of drill holes, the area to be estimated was roughly bracketed by the following coordinates (Figure 17.2 shows this area as a rectangle):

Corner	Easting_UTM6N_NAD27AK	Northing_UTM6N_NAD27AK
NW	428120	7266400
NE	430460	7266400
SE	430460	7264820
SW	428120	7264820

A three dimensional solid was produced by TGA to encompass the main mineralized zone to be estimated. This is shown in Figure 17.2 by the grey triangulated surface. The areas shown in grey square pattern reflect blocks outside the main mineralized solid that were estimated in the February 2008 resource model. The drill hole traces are shown in red.

Geologic Model

The geologic block model was developed by Carl Schaefer of Northern Associates Inc. The rationale for the modeling is explained as follows:

“The Money Knob 3D geologic model is based on the lithologic data available as of September 18^th. This corresponds to drill data through MK-RC-0084 (RC) and MK-08-31 (core). Four solid models are presented, each representing a different stratigraphic unit. In terms of elevation, the top most unit is the “Cambrian Ultramafic” which also includes some minor Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic “Amy Chert”. This unit is separated from lower units by a thrust fault. Below the thrust is the “Upper Sediments” followed by the “Main Volcanics” and finally at the bottom are the “Lower Sediments”. The northern edges of all the models are limited by the roughly east-west trending, high-angle, “Lillian Fault”. All models are limited by a vertically oriented 150m buffer surrounding all drilling in the area of modeling. The western limit of modeling is 428325E while the eastern limit is 429560E. Sparse data exists beyond these east-west limits. Modeling was limited downward to an elevation of 80m which represents the deepest hole drilled within the modeling area. This limits the extent of the “Lower Sediments” unit. In some areas of the model a “basal thrust” fault is inferred and the “Upper Sediments” and “Main Volcanics” models stop at this boundary. Where units come to surface they are clipped by topography.

The lithologic determinations presented in the drilling database are based on a hierarchal system of chemical classification schemes that has been successful at identifying lithologic units even when they are highly altered and mineralized. These chemical classifications are reviewed in conjunction with the logging geologists’ calls and a final “Strat Unit” is made. The four geologic solid models are based on this hierarchal classification scheme.

Interpreted hand drawn cross-sections oriented north-south and spaced 75m apart were prepared by the project geologist and were the basis for each of the unit models. Cross-sectional strings were digitized for each unit and a 3D solid wireframe model was formed. Where each unit model came into contact with another, these were reviewed in detail and any overlaps or gaps created by the software where corrected. Software validations indicate valid and closed solid models. Xplorpac 6.0.3 (Surpac-GemCom) software was used to make the models.

DEM Leveling:

The USGS Livengood C-4 and B-4 30m DEM’s was used to represent topography for the Livengood Project. All collars that could be located were surveyed using differential GPS Magellan ProMark CP units in a post-processing mode. These points were used to generate a simple topographic surface for comparison to the USGS DEM. When viewed in cross-section the USGS DEM surface was found to lie variably 5-15m above the DGPS surface. To level the two datasets the USGS DEM was uniformly lowered 10m, combined with the DGPS points, and a single surface was generated. Edits to this derived surface were made to compensate for the remaining variations between the USGS and DGPS surfaces. The resulting final topographic surface attempts to best represent the natural topographic trends while honouring the absolute elevations obtained for the locatable collars using the DGPS equipment.”

The four modeled lithologies are shown in the following Figures 17-3 and 17-4.

17.3

Sample Statistics and Capping

Drill holes were compared to the geologic solids and assays were tagged with the appropriate code if within one of the four interpreted solids. The statistics for gold and silver within each of these solids is shown below in Table 17.3. In addition, the statistics for samples not within these four solids but inside the surrounding broad mineralized zone within the rectangle shown in Figure 17.2 are presented. Although there is gold and silver in these samples, at present there was insufficient geologic information to extend the solids to include this data.

It is important to note that 2008 drilling identified mineralization in all rock units, not just volcanics (see section 7.3) as was previously thought to be the case. This fact is borne out by the statistics for gold and silver values shown in Table 17.3.

A second observation from the assay statistics is the high coefficients of variation present in most lithologies for both variables. These high coefficients of variation are indicative of erratic high grades that must be addressed.

The grade distribution for gold and silver were examined within each domain to determine if capping was required and if so at what level. Each data set showed positively skewed distributions for both gold and silver. Each variable was evaluated using lognormal cumulative frequency plots and in each case multiple overlapping lognormal populations were observed. In cases where the upper most population (Population 1) was considered to be erratic high grades the capping level was set at two standard deviations above the mean of population 2. The capping levels and number of samples capped for each lithology are shown in Table 17.4. The effects of capping are shown in Table 17.5 for each domain with slight reductions in mean grade and reductions in coefficients of variation.

Composites

Drill holes were compared to the geologic solids with the points each hole entered and left the solids recorded. Uniform down hole composites were then formed to honour the domain boundaries. Small intervals (less than 2.5 m) were combined with adjoining samples to produce composites of uniform support, 5 ± 2.5 m in length. The 5 m composite statistics are shown in Table 17.6.

Gold – Arsenic Relationship

As demonstrated by the statistics for both assays and composites, gold values are scattered through all lithologies. As outlined previously in section 7.2, gold mineralization appears to be related more to dykes and structure than individual lithologies. Unfortunately, due to the drill density and the fact that a significant proportion of the data base is reverse circulation drill holes, where dykes and structures are difficult to determine, it is not possible to model these features. For the Livengood Deposit there is a strong correlation between arsenic and gold. There are 9,039 gold assays that have As measured by ICP analysis. Another 9,389 gold assays have arsenic measured by the Niton handheld XRF analyzer manufactured by Thermo-Fisher Scientific. Of these assays, there are 501 samples that have arsenic measured by both techniques. The correlations are shown below.

Au (FA)

As (ICP)

0.763

As (XRF)

0.906

The As from the Niton Handheld XRF from holes MK-RC-0029, 56, 59, 61 to 94 was available even though the gold assays for these holes were not received at the time of this resource estimate. Because arsenic values by XRF match well the results from the multi-element ICP method and because XRF data is available much sooner than laboratory data, ITH has been able to make use of this information as a predictor of likely gold-bearing intervals. This information has proved useful in making decisions in a timely manner about the drilling. This information was also used to help build a mineralized solid.

17.6

Variography

Gold and silver were modelled using pairwise relative semivariograms for all composites within the mineralized solids. Due to the fact that gold and silver mineralization occurs in all modeled lithologies, variography was applied to the combined lithological solid and biased towards the known strike and dip of structures and dikes. For each variable, nested anisotropic spherical models were fit. The semivariogram parameters are tabulated in Table 17.7 and the models are shown in Appendix 3. Isotropic nested spherical models were fit to gold and silver composites outside the mineralized solid.

Bulk Density

A total of 95 samples were sent to Chemex for specific gravity determinations. These include both core samples and washed RC chips. The Chemex results are sorted by rock type and presented in Table 17.8.

TABLE 17.8

Specific Gravities Measured by Chemex

In the 2007 resource estimate the grand average of 2.78 was applied to all blocks. For the 2008 resource estimate the individual averages for each lithologic unit were used. When blocks contained more than one lithology a weighted average was applied. For material outside the mineralized solids the SG for Upper Sediments of 2.68 was used.

Block Model

A block model with blocks 20 x 20 x 5 m high was superimposed on the various geologic solids with the proportion of each block below surface topography and within each solid recorded. The block model origin is as follows:

Grade Interpolation

Grades for gold and silver were interpolated into blocks by Ordinary Kriging. For each solid a series of 4 passes was completed with a minimum of 4 composites required to estimate a block in any given pass. Pass 1 used a search ellipse with dimensions equal to ¼ of the range of the semivariogram for the solid being estimated. For blocks not estimated during pass 1 a second pass was made with the ellipse expanding to ½ the semivariogram range. A third pass using the full range was also completed. In all cases if more than 12 composites were found within any search the closest 12 were used. Blocks straddling more than one mineralized solid were estimated for both and a weighted average grade was determined using the percentage present in each solid. The percentage of the block below surface topography was used to determine the tonnage present. Table 17.9 lists the search parameters used to estimate each mineralized solid. For both inside and outside the solid, the number of silver composites available was much lower than the number of gold composites, so additional passes were required to estimate silver in the blocks estimated for gold.

17.10

Classification

Based on the study herein reported, delineated mineralization of the Livengood Deposit is classified as a resource according to the following definitions from National Instrument 43-101 and from CIM (2005):

“In this Instrument, the terms “mineral resource”, “inferred mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “measured mineral resource” have the meanings ascribed to those terms by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, as the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by CIM Council, as those definitions may be amended.”

Three North-South cross sections showing estimated blocks and colour coded drill hole composites are shown in Figure 17.5 – 7. These sections match those shown in Figures 7.7 – 9.

The terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” are defined by CIM (2005) as follows:

“A Mineral Resource is a concentration or occurrence of diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals, coal and industrial minerals in or on the Earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.”

“The term Mineral Resource covers mineralization and natural material of intrinsic economic interest which has been identified and estimated through exploration and sampling and within which Mineral Reserves may subsequently be defined by the consideration and application of technical, economic, legal, environmental, socio-economic and governmental factors. The phrase ‘reasonable prospects for economic extraction’ implies a judgement by the Qualified Person in respect of the technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospect of economic extraction. A Mineral Resource is an inventory of mineralization that under realistically assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions might become economically extractable. These assumptions must be presented explicitly in both public and technical reports.”

Inferred Mineral Resource

“An ‘Inferred Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, workings and drill holes.”

“Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. Confidence in the estimate is insufficient to allow the meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability worthy of public disclosure. Inferred Mineral Resources must be excluded from estimates forming the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.”

Indicated Mineral Resource

“An ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.”

“Mineralization may be classified as an Indicated Mineral Resource by the Qualified Person when the nature, quality, quantity and distribution of data are such as to allow confident interpretation of the geological framework and to reasonably assume the continuity of mineralization. The Qualified Person must recognize the importance of the Indicated Mineral Resource category to the advancement of the feasibility of the project. An Indicated Mineral Resource estimate is of sufficient quality to support a Preliminary Feasibility Study which can serve as the basis for major development decisions.”

Measured Mineral Resource

“A ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.”

“Mineralization or other natural material of economic interest may be classified as a Measured Mineral Resource by the Qualified Person when the nature, quality, quantity and distribution of data are such that the tonnage and grade of the mineralization can be estimated to within close limits and that variation from the estimate would not significantly affect potential economic viability. This category requires a high level of confidence in, and understanding of, the geology and controls of the mineral deposit.”

Geologic continuity is well established from surface mapping and drill hole information. Grade continuity can be quantified by the semivariogram. The blocks within the well-drilled mineralized solid and estimated in pass 1 and 2 using up to ½ the semivariogram range for the search ellipse were classified as Indicated. All other blocks within the mineralized solid and all blocks outside the solid were classified as Inferred. The range of results for specific cutoff grades are tabulated in Tables 17.10-12. The location and relative relation of these blocks is shown in Figure 17.8.

No economic studies have been applied yet on this deposit so there is no indication of what an economic cutoff might be. A value of 0.5 g/t has been highlighted as a possible cutoff for an open pit operation.

Preliminary metallurgical testing has shown that even partial oxidation greatly increases the cyanide extraction of gold. Based on the drill core and chip logging, a modeled surface was constructed for the base of partial oxidation. When all blocks are compared to the oxidation surface, the grade and tonnage of oxidized or partially oxidized material is less than the total resource but the average grade is higher. The tonnage and grade of oxidized and partially oxidized material are tabulated in Tables 17.13-14.

Interpretation and Conclusions

The Livengood property is centered on an area (Money Knob) considered by many for a long time to be the lode source for gold in the Livengood placer deposits which have produced in excess of 500,000 ounces of gold. Anomalous gold in soil samples occurring in a northeast trend cover an area of approximately 6 x 2 km with a principal concentration of surface anomalies in a smaller area measuring approximately 1.6 x 0.8 km. Drilling by past companies, AGA, and ITH has identified wide intervals (>100 m @ ≥ 1.0 g/t Au) of gold mineralization with local higher grade narrow intervals beneath the soil anomaly and in rocks beneath thrust surfaces which are not expressed geochemically at the surface. The possibility that more mineralization occurs over broader areas than the soil anomaly but is hidden beneath thrust faults is encouraging and suggests that there is still further discovery potential at Livengood.

The style of mineralization is consistent with other deposits in the Tintina Gold Belt. Superficially, it appears to be most consistent with mineralization at Donlin Creek to the extent that quartz veins and gold content are spatially and possibly genetically related to multi-stage dikes and sills in volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Veining and mineralization occurs in each of the rock assemblages, which means that there is favourable scope for mineralization to occur over a wide area. Also, the surface geochemical anomaly in soil probably reflects only a portion of the mineralization present. Mineralization may continue down-dip along and/or beneath thrust surfaces and therefore be blind at the surface. This possibility should be included in further evaluation of the deposit. The area drilled currently represents only a portion of the surface geochemical anomaly. Taken together, these factors suggest that the identification of more mineralization over a broader area is likely.

Drill results up to September 27, 2008 have been used to revise a previous resource estimate for the Money Knob area. The amount of gold varies significantly according to the choice of cutoff grade. A range of tonnes and grade with corresponding contained ounces of gold are presented in Tables 17.10 - 17.14. Drilling by ITH in 2008 has successfully converted the previous Inferred Resource (at 0.5 g/t Au) from 82.88Mt @ 0.71 g/t Au (1.889 M contained oz) to 69.53 Mt @ 0.83 g/t Au (1.86 M contained oz) at the more robust category of Indicated Resource. Along with this improvement, ITH identified a further 87.88Mt @ 0.77 g/t Au (2.170 M contained oz) in additional Inferred Resource. The total acquisition and exploration expenditure between 2003 and August 2008 when the last hole included in this resource estimate was drilled is approximately US$11M yielding a discovery cost of approximately US$2.75 per resource ounce.

It is concluded that a substantial gold resource has been identified and that further drilling is appropriate for continued evaluation of this resource. ITH has now advanced the Livengood project to the point that scoping or pre-feasibility studies should be a goal. Toward this end, the following activities should be considered for the 2009 exploration program:

Continue step out drilling to identify the extent of mineralization, particularly

to the north of the Lillian Fault,

down dip of currently identified mineralization, and

to the southwest along the trend of the surface geochemical anomaly.

Continue systematic drilling on lines 75m apart and at 75m spacings along those lines to:

Improve continuity of mineralization over a broader area, particularly in areas that are now categorized as Inferred Resource, and

Improve understanding of the structural relations and architecture that hosts the deposit.

Utilize 3D modeling software to model the structural architecture. This should help understand the mineralization better and offer predictive capabilities for exploration.

Continue and advance metallurgical, ore characterization, and mineral processing studies.

Undertake environmental base line studies.

Assess geotechnical characteristics of the mineralized zone.

Initiate a scoping study that evaluates the basic economic, logistic, and processing factors for a mining operation at Livengood.

Recommendations

20.1

Recommended Exploration Program

Exploration of the Livengood project should continue with the aim of advancing the project toward a prefeasibility status. Activities that will help advance the project in this direction include those listed in the previous section.

ITH plans to drill 25,000 m in 2009 to accomplish this goal. The proposed program is an appropriate amount of drilling for the needs of the project and the time available in the field season.

20.2

Budget for 2009

ITH has proposed expenditure of approximately $6.6 million dollars in 2009 for further evaluation of the Livengood project (Table 20.1). This budget will be allocated primarily to drilling and geological analysis of the deposit. The budget is appropriate for the amount of drilling planned and feasible within the summer field season. The author recommends implementation of this program in order to accomplish ITH’s goal of advancing the Livengood project.

CERTIFICATE of G.H. Giroux

I, G.H. Giroux, of 982 Broadview Drive, North Vancouver, British Columbia, do hereby certify that:

I am a consulting geological engineer with an office at #1215 - 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

I am a member in good standing of the Association of Professional Engineers and

Geoscientists of the Province of British Columbia.

I have practised my profession continuously since 1970. I have had over 30 years experience calculating mineral resources. I have previously completed resource estimations on a wide variety of precious metal deposits both in B.C. and around the world, many similar to Livengood.

I have read the definition of “qualified person” set out in National Instrument 43-101 and certify that by reason of education, experience, independence and affiliation with a professional association, I meet the requirements of an Independent Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

This report titled “October 2008 Summary Report on the Livengood Project, Tolovana District, Alaska” dated October 28, 2008 (the “Technical Report”), is based on a study of the data and literature available on the Livengood Property. I am responsible for Section 17 on the resource estimations completed in Vancouver during 2008. I have not visited the property.

Prior to having been retained by ITH in 2007, I have not previously worked on this deposit.

As of the date of this certificate, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the Technical Report contains all scientific and technical information that is required to be disclosed to make the Technical Report not misleading.

I am independent of the issuer applying all of the tests in section 1.4 of National Instrument 43-101.
