Location and Ownership

In January 2010, Prophecy Resource Corp. (now Prophecy Coal) entered into an option agreement with Randsburg International Gold Corp., whereby Prophecy assumed an 80% interest in the Titan Vanadium-Titanium-Iron.  The Titan project is located in eastern Ontario, approximately 120 km east-northeast of Sudbury.  Straddling the boundary between Angus and Flett townships, the property features proximity to excellent infrastructure. The main line of the Ontario Northland Railway crosses the property through the Bushnell flag station, about five miles southwest of the mineralized area. Highway 11, a main provincial highway linking northern and southern Ontario, is just 18 km west of Titan.  A major high voltage transmission line (about 230-kv) runs approximately 2.5km east of the property and the Northern Ontario Natural Gas pipeline lies approximately 25km west of the property.

There is a large work force available in the region and the property is very close to major North American markets for iron and titanium.

The Titan property consists of 1,052 contiguous hectares (2,600 acres) comprising 17 patented claims and 3 mining claims.

Geology and Mineralization

Titan is located at the extreme northeast end of the Fall Lake intrusive and is delineated by very high magnetic susceptibility. The airborne magnetic signature shows a sub-circular surface expression that is 1,200 by 800 metres in area. The mineralization is known to be located in the northern portion of the magnetic anomaly, and has a steep plunge towards the south-southeast.

The Titan mineralization was formed by hydrothermal alteration of an intrusive mafic-ultramafic rock complex that is a younger part of the Grenville Metamorphic Terrane. The host rock is a fine-grained olivine gabbro, with possible troctolitic overtones. Magnetite, ilmenite and a vanadium mineral, make up most of the economic minerals that are present in the mineralized system. There is also potential for the occurrence of platinum group metals along the margins of the mafic and ultramafic intrusives in the Angus and Flett townships, based on the slightly anomalous values for platinum, palladium and gold that have been returned in assays.

Exploration Findings

• The magnetite-ilmenite mineralization is present as a body that plunges steeply towards the southeast. Its characteristics south of 5190100N are little known, due to somewhat widespread wet ground. Relatively strong magnetism extends southeasterly.
• Titanium and Vanadium are present in the intrusive complex away from the areas of pronounced magnetite content, although in lower amounts.
• Susceptibility and assay data are, generally, in direct correlation.
• At present, the mineralization is open, in part, towards the east, west, south and to depth.

The Titan deposit is located at the northern end of an aeromagnetic anomaly that is approximately 1, 200 by 800 metres in area. Magnetite, ilmenite, titanium dioxide, and vanadium mineralization occurs in a southeast-plunging body in gabbro to leucotroctolite, in the northeastern corner of the Fall Lake complex.

A total of 4,898 assay intervals have been recorded from 38 core holes drilled by Randsburg. Highlights of these drilling efforts included 142 meters of 0.27% Vanadium (0.48% Vanadium Pentoxide) from Hole RA-5-21 and 174 meters of 0.26% Vanadium (0.46% Vanadium Pentoxide) from Hole RA-5-10. Mineralization starts from the surface to an open vertical depth of 500 meters.

History

Titaniferous magnetite mineralization associated with the mafic and ultramafic rocks of this part of Ontario, was identified in the 1890s and mapped in the 1930s. Hurst (1932) mapped and described what is now called the Titan magnetite occurrence (formerly the O’Connor occurrence) noting that the deposit had not been developed because of a lack of demand for iron ore containing titanium. From the 1930s through the early 1970s, there was exploration in the region seeking iron and titanium.

Exploration activity specifically directed at what is now the Titan property dates from 1942, when Titan Iron Mines Limited (“Titan Iron”) conducted trenching, surface pitting, and sampling. However, at that time, the presence of titanium was a detriment to the potential value of the iron mineralization. In 1947, Titan Iron refurbished and extended the old trenches and drilled 11 diamond drill core holes. In 1948, 120 samples collected from the trenches were analyzed for titanium and iron by the Ontario Department of Mines and Swastika Laboratories. By 1953, Titan Iron had ceased exploration on the property, although tax payments were made to maintain the property in good standing. In that same year, samples were submitted to the Cranmet Corporation in Chicago.  Analysis concluded that the ore is mainly a mixture of magnetite and ilmenite, with only about 5% as spinel-type intergrowths of magnetite and ilmenite, which seemed favorable for separation (Bayne, 1967b).

In 1964, the property was sampled by Watts, Griffiths and McOuat Ltd. for Southfield Mines Limited (Docherty and Germundson, 2006; Bayne, 1967b). In 1966, Lockwood Survey Corporation Ltd. (“Lockwood”) flew an airborne magnetic survey over the area for Titan Iron. A. S. Bayne prepared a report, in 1967, for use in seeking capital to develop the Titan property. Lake Ontario Steel Company Ltd. optioned the property from Titan Iron in July 1968, and conducted a ground magnetic survey (Mead, 1969).

Between 1973 and 1996, Flett and Angus were among a number of townships withdrawn from mineral staking and exploration activities due to the Temagami Land Caution. However, according to Easton (2002), Candol Developments Ltd. undertook a bulk sampling program that included the O’Connor magnetite occurrence (now Titan) in 1988; no results were available to MDA.

Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
Readers should refer to the Company’s current technical reports and other continuous disclosure documents filed by the Company available on Sedar at www.sedar.com for further information on the mineral resource estimates of the Company’s projects, which are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein, as well as for additional information relating to the Company more generally. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources have insufficient confidence to allow the meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability suitable for public disclosure. Neither the Company nor readers can assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to indicated or measured mineral resources. Most projects at the inferred mineral resource stage do not ever achieve successful commercial production. Each stage of a project is contingent on the positive results of the previous stage and that there is a significant risk that the results may not support or justify moving to the next stage.
