0.0 Summary
The Git property consists of four contiguous, located, lode mineral claims, Git
1-4 comprising a total of 82.64 acres. Sandfield Ventures Corp., a Nevada,
U.S.A. company is the beneficial owner of the mineral claims.
The general claim area is underlain by unconsolidated material comprised of
desert wash, colluvium, alluvial and playa deposits of Quaternary age. In the
southeast corner of the claim group, on the Git 4 mineral claim, very old
sedimentary rock exposure units as aphanitic green siltstone are seen to occur.
The bedrock units in the local area are of sedimentary origin that have
undergone varying degrees of metamorphism.
The underlying rock units exhibit a rather consistent aeromagnetic pattern in
close proximity to the immediate south lobe of a large southerly trending
bulbous feature (see Figure 4). This pattern could indicate a response to the
proximity of a nearby intrusion of igneous rocks. Most of the mineral claims
area are drift or overburden covered and offer exploration potential. The author
feels that the potential exists for movement of mineralizing fluids to have
impregnated this northerly trending zone. These fluids could emanate from deeper
sources related to intrusive activity and travel along structurally prepared
conduits in the underlying bedrock.
In this area, a potential model for ore emplacement could be from young volcanic
vents and their "glowing avalanche" or Nuees Ardentes event and the possibly
accompanying silver occurrences.
The mineral claim is favorably situated and may require further geophysical
surveys to determine in more detail its potential following the initial
prospecting, mapping and reconnaissance soil geochemistry program. An
exploratory drilling program could follow the Phase 1 - 3 surveys and be
contingent upon positive results being obtained from the previous fieldwork.
The object of our initial exploration undertaking is to assess areas that may
require more detailed investigations to assist in determining their economic
significance.

1.1 Glossary
(Specific to a Report on the Git 1-4 Mineral Claims, by James W. McLeod, P.
Geo. (BC), Consulting Geologist dated December 23, 2007 on behalf of
Sandfield Ventures Corp.)
Aeromagnetic survey - a magnetic survey conducted from the air normally
using a helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft to carry the detection instrument
and the recorder.
Alluvial - unconsolidated sediments that are carried and hence deposited by
a stream or river. In the southwest USA most in filled valleys often
between mountain ranges were deposited with alluvium.
Andesitic to basaltic composition - a range of rock descriptions using the
chemical make-up or mineral norms of the same.
Aphanitic - extremely fine grained crystalline texture.
5
Blind-basin - a basin practically closed off by enveloping rock exposures
making the central portion of unconsolidated alluvial basin isolated.
Colluvium - loose, unconsolidated material usually derived by gravitational
means, such as falling from a cliff or scarp-face and often due to a sort
of benign erosion such as heating and cooling in a desert environment.
Desert wash - out-wash in dry (desert) or arid areas of colluvium or
alluvial material accumulated on the sides of valleys or basin channels by
often irregular and violent water flow, i.e. flash floods.
Elongate basin - a longer than wide depression that could be favorable to
in-filling by material from adjacent eroding mountains.
Formation - the fundamental unit of similar rock assemblages used in
stratigraphy.
Hornfels - a fine grained (contact) metamorphic rock that is without
schistocity or foliation (parting) and often exhibits a characteristic
"ring" when hit with a rock hammer.
Intermontane belt - between mountains (ranges), a usually longer than wide
depression occurring between enclosing mountain ranges that supply the
erosional material to infill the basin.
Lode mineral claim (Nevada) - with a maximum area contained within 1500'
long by 600' wide = 20.66 acres.
Metamorphism - a change in the character of a rock without the addition of
new material generally by the processes of pressure and temperature.
Nuees Ardante or Ladu - an extremely hot, gaseous, somewhat horizontally
ejected lava, often from near the summit that accentuates the downward flow
or "glowing avalanche" because of its mobility.
6
Overburden or Drift Cover - any loose material which overlies bedrock.
Plagioclase feldspar - a specific range of chemical composition of common
or abundant rock forming silicate minerals.
Playa - the lowest part of an intermontane basin which is frequently
flooded by run-off from the adjacent highlands or by local rainfall.
Plutonic, igneous or intrusive rock - usually a medium to coarser grain
sized crystalline rock that generally is derived from a sub-surface magma
and then consolidated, such as in dykes, plugs, stocks or batholiths, from
smallest to largest.
Porphyritic in augite pyroxene - Large porphyroblasts or crystals of a
specific rock-forming mineral, i.e. augite occurring within a matrix of
finer grained, rock-forming minerals.
Quarternary - the youngest period of the Cenozoic era.
Snow equivalent - Approximately 1" of precipitation (rain) = 1' snow.
Syenite - Coarse grained, alkalic, low in quartz intrusive rock.
Trachyte - fine grained or glassy equivalent of a syenite.
Volcaniclastic - Angular to rounded particles of a wide range of size
within (a welded) finer grain-sized matrix of volcanic origin.

3.0 Property Description and Location
The Git mineral claims consist of 4 located mineral claims in one contiguous,
2x2 group (see Figure 2) that are listed as follows:
Name Area Good to Date
---- ---- ------------
Git 1 20.66 ac. Sept. 1, 2008
Git 2 20.66 ac. Sept. 1, 2008
Git 3 20.66 ac. Sept. 1, 2008
Git4 20.66 ac. Sept. 1, 2008
The beneficial owner of the above listed mineral claim is Sandfield Ventures
Corp. The Company has an office at 711 S. Carson Street, Suite 4, Carson City,
NV 89701. Contact person: Mark R. Holcombe/Director and Officer of the Company.
The Git 1-4 mineral claims (see Figure 2) comprise a total of 82.64 acres. The
mineral claim area may be located on the Esmeralda County 1:250,000 or the
Paymaster Ridge, 7&1/2' map sheet. At the center of the property, at the 4
claim, corner post the latitude is 37(degree) 52.407' N and the longitude is
117(degree) 28.133' W. The claims are motor vehicle accessible from the Town of
Tonopah, Nevada by traveling 20 miles south along Highway 95 to the paved Alkali
- - Silver Peak cut-off. Taking that 15 miles west until the road becomes gravel
surfaced to the Paymaster Canyon gravel road toward the north. This road is
taken for 6.5 miles to the mineral claims.
4.0 Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources,
Infrastructure and Physiography
The Git property lies in the west central area of the State of Nevada southwest
of the Town of Tonopah and is accessible from Highway 95 by traveling southwest
of the Town for a total of 35 miles to the Paymaster Canyon road that is taken
6.5 miles north to the property.
The area experiences about 4" - 8" of precipitation annually of which about 20%
may occur as a snow equivalent this amount of precipitation suggests a climatic
classification of arid to semi-arid. The summers can experience hot weather,
middle 60's to 70's F(degree) average with high spells of 100+F(degree) while
8
the winters are generally more severe than the dry belt to the west and can last
from November through February. Temperatures experienced during mid-winter
average, for the month of January, from the high 20's to the low 40's F(degree)
with low spells down to -20 F(degree).
The Town of Tonopah offers much of the necessary infrastructure required to base
and carry-out an exploration program (accommodations, communications, equipment
and supplies). Larger or more specialized equipment can likely be acquired in
the City of Las Vegas lying 209 miles by paved road (Highway 95) to the south of
Tonopah.
Infrastructure such as highways and secondary roads, communications,
accommodations and supplies that are essential to carrying-out an exploration
and development program are at hand, between Tonopah, Goldfield and Las Vegas.
The physiography of the Git property is fairly flat to a southeasterly, gentle
sloping valley (canyon) bottom that is bounded on the west and east sides by
fairly rugged, moderately rugged mountainous terrain. Much of this area with a
broad open valley and fairly spiney mountain ridges on the west and east sides
hosts sagebrush and other desert plants, such as, cacti on the lower hill
slopes. Juniper and pinon growing above 6,500' with pinon becoming more dominant
at higher elevations. At elevations in the range of 7,500' along water courses
can be found small groves of trembling aspen.
Mining holds an historical and contemporary place in the development and
economic well being of the area.
The claim area ranges in elevation from 4,880 - 5,060' mean sea level. The
physiographic setting of the property can be described as open desert in the
valley within a bounding mosaic of moderately, rugged mountain ridges on the
flanks. The area has been surficially altered both by fluvial and wind erosion
and the depositional (drift cover) effects of in-filling. Thickness of drift
cover in the valleys may vary considerably. Surface water occurrences are rare,
springs are sparse and subsurface aquifers are accessed by drilling wells where
allowed.

5.0 History
The recorded mining history of the general area dates from the 1860's when
prospectors passed through heading north and west. The many significant lode
gold, silver and other mineral product deposits developed in the area was that
of the Goldfield Camp, 1905; Coaldale, coal field, 1913; Divide Silver Mining
District, 1921 and the Candalaria silver-gold mine which operated as an
underground lode gold deposit in 1922 and again in the 1990's as an open cut,
cyanide heap leach operation.
6.0 Geological Setting
6.1 Regional Geology
The regional geology of Nevada is depicted as being underlain by all types of
rock units. These appear to range from oldest to youngest in an east to west
direction, respectively. The oldest units are found to occur in the southeast
corner of the State along the Colorado River. The bedrock units exhibit a
north-south fabric of alternating east-west ranges and valleys. This feature may
suggest E-W compression that may have expression as low angle thrust faults on
the west and east walls of Paymaster Canyon (see Figure 3a). Faulting plays a
large part in many areas of Nevada and an even larger part in the emplacement of
mineral occurrences and ore bodies.
6.2 Local Geology
The local geology about the Paymaster Canyon which lies approximately 15
airmiles to the southwest of Tonopah, NV reveals a N-S trending, elongate or
elliptical blind-basin bounded, i.e. closed off around much of its perimeter by
rock exposures.
Throughout this outcropping ring-shaped feature are abundant, scattered rock
exposures of Lower - Middle Paleozoic carbonate and aphanitic to very fine grain
sized sediments, as quartzite, siltstone, claystone and more abundant limestone.
Some transitional metamorphic rocks are interlayered.
Jurassic and more abundant Tertiary age intrusive rocks dominate the northern
end of the canyon ring while older Lower Paleozoic sedimentary and lesser
10
metamorphic equivalents are more abundant in the southern part of the Paymaster
basin.
6.3 Property Geology
The geology of the Git property area may be described as being covered by
Quaternary desert wash, collovium, alluvium and playa deposits and some Lower
Paleozoic green siltstone that in place has been metamorphosed to a slatey green
hornfels. This younger covered basin within a larger surrounding area of rock
exposure and known mineral occurrences exhibits a good geological setting and
target area in which to conduct mineral exploration.
Thrust faulting is observed within the periphery rock exposures at the north-end
of the Paymaster Canyon with younger Ordovician limestone and shale units lying
on the older Lower Cambrian sedimentary rock units. The oldest meta-sedimentary
units can be overlain by granitic rocks of Jurassic age or Tertiary age volcanic
rock of andesite to rhyolite composition.
The outcrops partially surrounding or flanking the alluvial covered valley
underlying the mineral claim area suggests mineral occurrences or structurally
prepared bedrock could be sought after in those areas. Some of the metamorphic
affects may be caused by possible close at hand intrusive rocks that could give
rise to a contact type of alteration or hornfelsing of the older rock units.
6.4 Deposit Type
The deposit types that are found occurring in the regional area and the more
localized areas vary considerably. Silver and gold quartz veins predominate at
Tonopah. Some of the most productive veins represent the silicification and
replacement of sheeted zones of trachyte that was originally marked by close-set
parallel fractures, but not faulting. The two hosts of mineralized quartz veins
are 1) older pre-Tertiary volcanic rocks, i.e. Silver Peak (Mineral Ridge area),
Weepah and Hornsilver or 2) Tertiary rhyolite host rocks that occur at Tonopah
and other younger volcanic rocks, i.e. Goldfield and Divide. Base metal deposits
are more commonly of interest now than in the past and many prospects occur in
11
Figure 4. Aeromagnetic Map, 1: 250,000
the general area. The industrial mineral barite that is observed to occur either
in vein or bedded types have been recognized in the general area.
The base and precious metal deposit types that historically predominate in the
general area are as the copper-gold or copper-molybdenum porphyry occurrences
with peripheral base and precious metal occurrences as veins and/or contact
zones of mineralization.
Geophysical techniques may be most effective in the covered areas as a follow-up
to prospecting and soil sampling of the Phase 1 program.
6.5 Mineralization
By far the largest production in the County comes from the vein-type of gold and
silver occurrences in quartz fissures in either pre-Tertiary volcanic or
Tertiary volcanic host rocks.
7.0 Exploration
7.1 Geophysics of the Git 1-4 Mineral Claims
The Git property is seen to lie on a southerly trending lobe of decreasing
magnetic intensity between two topographic "high", the Weepah Hills on the west
and the Paymaster Ridge on the east. The change in gradient in the claim area
suggests an in-filled basin feature i.e. a possible northerly trending and
southerly dipping feature that possibly reflects a rock alteration zone. Ground
geophysical surveys may add more detail to our understanding of the possible
potential of the claim area.
7.2 Geochemistry of the Git 1-4 Mineral Claims
To the best of the authors' knowledge, the Git 1-4 property has not undergone
any detailed ground exploration work including geochemistry which may have
usefulness in this area.
8.0 Drilling
No drilling appears to have taken place on the area covered by the Git mineral
claims.
12
9.0 Sample Method and Approach
Standard sampling methods are utilized, for example a rock sample would be
acquired from the rock exposure with a hammer. The sample will be roughly
2"x2"x2" of freshly broken material. The samples grid location correlated with
global positioning system (GPS) location will be marked in the logbook after a
sample number has been assigned. The sample number would be impressed on an
aluminum tag and on a flagging that will be affixed at the sample site for
future location.
9.1 Results
As exploration work could be conducted and assessed, a decision would be made as
to its importance and priority. The next phase of work will be determined by the
results from the preceding one. At this point, it is necessary to suggest that a
three phase exploration approach be recommended.
10.0 Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security
Our rock exposure samples would be taken with known grid relationships that have
been tied-in with a hand held global positioning system (GPS).
The samples would be in the possession of the field supervisor of the
exploration project.
1) The standard approach of seeking and sampling the 'B' horizon, (the rusty,
oxidized and possibly enriched zone). The samples most often undergo standard
acid digestion, multi-element analyses by the induction coupled plasma (ICP)
method and the atomic absorption (AA) method for the detection of precious
metals with back-up analyses and/or assaying of anomalous samples to acquire
more detail.
2) The relatively new and proprietary method called mobile metal ions (MMI) may
be very useful in our exploration endeavors. The samples in the desert climates
are taken consistently from between 8" and 10" in the soil layer below the
organic zone. The samples undergo selective digestion with subsequent analyses
for the chosen metal package, but most likely the standard multi-element package
with gold would be undertaken. The cost of taking the MMI sample and the
13
analyses are more expensive than standard method, but some studied results have
been encouraging. All analyses and assaying will be carried-out in a certified
laboratory.
11.0 Data Verification
Previous exploration has not been conducted on this mineral claim area by the
author, but its good geological setting and interesting aeromagnetic data
encourages the recommendation to conduct exploration work on the property. The
author is confident any information included in this report is accurate and can
be utilized in planning further exploration work.
12.0 Adjacent Properties
The Git 1-4 mineral claims occur in a general area that possibly has undergone
prospecting in the past. The general area has known barite occurrences, as well
as, gold and silver potential. The Git property does not have adjacent mineral
properties.
13.0 Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing
No mineral processing or metallurgical testing analyses have been carried- out
on the Git property.
14.0 Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates
No mineralization has been encountered to date by the author and no calculation
of any reliable mineral resource or reserve, conforming to currently accepted
standards, could be undertaken at this time.
15.0 Other Relevant Data and Information
All relevant data and information concerning the Git property has been presented
in this report.
14
16.0 Interpretation and Conclusions
The object of the recommendations made in this report are to facilitate in the
possible discovery of a large, probably low grade mineral deposit of base and/or
precious metals or other minerals of economic consideration that have open pit
and/or underground mining potential. If such a deposit exists, it may occur
under the drift or overburden covered areas of the Git 1-4 mineral claims.
17.0 Recommendations
The author believes that the known mineralization encountered to date in
neighboring areas is possibly indicative of a larger mineralized system in the
general area. The drift covered parts of the property offer good exploration
areas because of the possibility of mineralization, good geological setting and
generally a lack of exploration testing. Also, remote sensing such as
aeromagnetics may indicate possible exploration areas of interest within the Git
1-4 mineral claims.
Detailed prospecting, mapping and reconnaissance geochemical surveys of the
claim area should be undertaken if and when the Company is in a position to do
so. The following three phase exploration proposal and cost estimate is offered
with the understanding that consecutive phases are contingent upon positive and
encouraging results being obtained from each preceding phase:
Phase 1
Detailed prospecting, mapping and soil geochemistry.
The estimated cost for this program is all inclusive $ 8,500
Phase 2
Magnetometer and VLF electromagnetic, grid controlled
surveys over the areas of interest determined by the
Phase 1 survey. Included in this estimated cost are
transportation, accommodation, board, grid installation,
geophysical surveys, maps and report 11,500
15
Phase 3
Induced polarization survey over grid controlled,
anomalous areas of interest outlined by Phase 1&2
fieldwork. Hoe or bulldozer trenching, mapping and
sampling of bedrock anomalies, including assays,
detailed maps and reports 30,000
-------
Total $50,000
=======
17.1 Recommended Drilling
No recommendations for drilling on the Git 1-4 mineral claims can be made at
this time. If the exploration were to proceed through Phase 3 this decision
could then be made.
