QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)

Canada 

CBR maintains an extensive quality control program in the preparation, shipping and checking of all samples from the Committee Bay Greenstone property. Quality control on the drill program covers the complete chain of custody of samples, including logging, sampling, standard insertion, and assay-related work completed within the Committee Bay Belt. It also includes data verification, down-hole survey and collar survey control.

Quality control was carried out by Committee Bay employees under the supervision of Peter Kleespies, M.Sc, P.Geol. Company's Vice President of Exploration, (Australia). Mr. Kleespies is a qualified person (as described by National instrument 43-101). Committee Bay has established an analytical quality control assurance program to control and assure the analytical quality of assays in its gold exploration. This program includes systematic addition of blank samples, reject and pulp duplicates, and certified standards to each batch of samples sent for analysis. Blank samples are used to check for possible contamination in laboratories. Field duplicates quantify over-all precision, while certified standards determine the analytical accuracy.

As part of a comprehensive QA/QC program for gold analysis, one blank and one standard is inserted into the sample stream in each group of 20 samples. The results are monitored and if a results falls outside the expected mean plus or minus two standard deviations, the entire sample lot is re-assayed. As an additional check, 10 percent of samples are re-assayed at ALS Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver. Scatter plots comparing the two labs are checked throughout the program and indicated a strong correlation.

Assaying for gold is completed at TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan using fire assay with gravimetric finish or screened metallics. Any sample containing free gold is immediately sent for screened metallics assay. Any sample that returns an initial gravimetric assay of 20 g Au/t or greater is sent for re-assay by screened metallics. A scatter plot comparing the results shows strong agreement between the two types of assays for the same samples.

For complete procedures in the QA/QC program, please refer to the technical report titled "2006 Exploration Summary Report- Committee Bay Greenstone Belt" by Andrew Turner, B.Sc., P.Geol. at APEX Geoscience Ltd.

Australia 

Committee Bay Resources Ltd. maintains an extensive quality control program in the preparation, shipping and checking of all samples from the property as detailed in Committee Bay Resources Ltd. ‘Technical Report for the Coolgardie Gold Project, Coolgardie, Western Australia’ by Dean Besserer, B.Sc., P.Geol. and Bryan Atkinson B.Sc., GIT on February 26, 2007 in pages 117-119. The program is supervised by Peter Kleespies, M.Sc. P.Geol., Vice President of Exploration, who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

Argentina 

Committee Bay Resources Ltd. maintains an extensive quality control program in the preparation, shipping and checking of all samples from the project, and the programs are supervised by Peter Kleespies, M.Sc. P.Geol., Vice President of Exploration (Australia), who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. All rock and stream sediment samples are delivered in sealed bags to the ALS-Chemex Labs facility in Mendoza, Argentina for sample preparation and then sent to the La Serena, Chile Lab for gold analysis (50 gram-tonne gold fire assay with atomic absorption finish) and the Vancouver, BC Lab for four-acid multi-element ICP-MS analysis.
