J & A

Temiscouata:

Since its acquisition JAG has completed, on this 193,587 hectares property, DGPS-positioned MAG and EM reconnaissance surveys along more than 800 line-kilometers, covering in excess of 2/3 of the property along lumber trails and on agricultural land. A complete geological report was filed with the Ministere des Ressources Naturelles et de la Faune du Quebec (MNRF-Q).

Certain property sectors (Cabano, Packington, Lac Squatec and the Rimouski game reserve) present a high number of interesting magnetic anomalies. Certain anomalies might be associated with the presence of magnetite found in alteration halos created by hydrocarbon micro-seeps percolating to the surface in forest or agricultural soil. This interpretation must be field-validated by the multidisciplined geochemical soil survey, presently conducted by JAG, that should help determine the presence of soil-gas (C1-C4 natural gas component analysis) and directly measure soil magnetic susceptibility.

Sedimentary rock samples were collected during the execution of previous surveys and are to be assayed for organic matter thermal maturation and total organic carbon tests (ROCK EVAL analaysis) to establish organic matter levels in order to determine the petroleum-generative potential of the property's sedimentary rocks.

During the summer of 2008, JAG completed in five separate sections a multidisciplined geochemical soil survey including:

- a soil gas survey (C1-C4 natural gas component analysis)(1)

- U, Th and K radiation detection;

- electrical conductivity and soil pH measurements;

- soil magnetic susceptibility measurement;

- soil trace metal analysis.

Lac St-Jean:

In the Lac St-Jean area, JAG acquired oil and gas exploration claims covering 99,945 hectares mainly covered by Ordovician sedimentary rock units. It is believed that the sedimentary sequences could be part of the St. Lawrence Lowlands basin. Prior to the erosion of the sediments, the carbonate platform covered the majority of the area between Ontario and Anticosti. To date, little oil and gas exploration has been done in the area.

In March and July 2007, DGPS-positioned MAG lake surface survey was completed along more than 720 line-kilometers covering around 70% of the property. The lines were orientated at N330 degrees with secondary lines at N060 degrees. The results were superimposed over satellite-imaging. Magnetic maps show the presence of several magnetic anomalies some of which are linear. High frequency magnetic anomalies were also recorded on the lake bottom. A complete geological report was filed with the MNRF-Q in August 2007.

According to one of the exploration model followed by JAG some of the anomalies could be associated with hydrocarbon micro-seep zones found in recent lake bottom sediments. The execution of a methane-dissolved-in-water survey will help identifying the presence of micro-seeps in the magnetic anomaly areas.

JAG is currently active in the Lac St-Jean area completing a soil gas survey (including C1-C4 natural gas component analysis) and a U, Th and K radiation detection survey on nearly 350 ground-surface sampling locations.

JAG plans in executing a seismic reflection survey on surface, which could generate high value information regarding the recent sediment and contiguous shallow substrata stratigraphy. The proposed equipment offers vertical readings to a depth of 500m below the water-sediment interface. The survey also permits to identify the discontinuity of the structures and the surface stratigraphy.

Charlevoix:

In the Charlevoix area JAG staked an area of 39,258 hectares, located in the Ordivician sedimentary units of the Du Gouffre and Malbaie River Grabens, which to date have not been explored for hydrocarbons. JAG is searching for potential oil and gas-bearing formations preserved within sedimentary sequences similar to those found elsewhere in the St-Lawrence Lowlands.

The model being followed suggests that the gas might have been trapped in the Quaternary sediments left over after erosion that overlay the Ordivician rocks similar to those found elsewhere in the St. Lawrence Valley at Pointe-au-Lac, Quebec, where gas was discovered and produced.

A lithogeochemical reconnaissance survey was completed on the Ordovician limestone and siliciclastic sedimentary rock outcrops found in the Du Gouffre and Malbaie rivers Grabens. Fifty outcrop samples taken along regional roads were sent for ROCK-EVAL analysis and chemical testing and NIRS measurements. A complete geological report was filed with MNRF-Q in August 2007.

DGPS positioned MAG and EM induction surveys were executed in the spring of 2008 on permit #2006PG845 located in the du Gouffre River Graben. The survey might assist to identify magnetic anomalies that could be caused by secondary alteration halos resulting from hydrocarbon micro-seepage. The survey is useful in locating faults and determining their dip.

During the geophysical surveys the exploration staff identified numerous limestone outcrops along hills in the Northeast sector and many shale outcrops were observed at low tide south of Baie St-Paul. JAG plans on getting additional data from these sectors and in any other areas, where Ordivician sedimentary rock outcrops are located, through rock sampling and ROCK EVAL analysis.

To date JAG has invested in excess of $580,000 on exploration on its various oil and gas properties. The proposed future exploration programs and budgets will be outlined in future press releases.

"Unfortunately," Schlueter said, "the DWC process, while thorough and deliberate, is going to take a while to show results; from 2007 to date, the DWC has reported on just ten audits." He noted that in February, 2008, his company conducted a survey of CA organizations conducting URs. The objectives were to raise awareness of and gage the overall compliance with the CA regulations.

An e-mail invitation to participate in a web-based survey based on the actual DWC audit questionnaire was sent to about 2,500 workers' compensation professionals responsible for UR. The 2,500 invitations generated approximately 225 hits on the web survey (9%). Of 225 hits to the survey, 75 completed it. Thus, there was an overall response of 3% and a 30% response of those that hit the survey site. See: http://www.jaschlueter.com/ur_solutions.htm

Schlueter said, "Overall, the responses reported were quite positive. Eighty percent of the respondents reported they were well prepared for the coming audits. However, twenty percent of the respondents noted they were either not certain of their compliance with the regulations or were clearly not in compliance in many areas."

Schlueter stated, "The fact that twenty percent of the respondents, at a minimum, are not certain of their compliance with the regulations is a substantial red flag for the self-insured employer that is ultimately responsible for the actions of their vendors. Self-insured employers should take aggressive actions to evaluate the performance of their vendors. They should not stand back and wait for the state to work through the eighty percent of the good ones to find the non-compliant providers." He said, "That is a bad decision on many levels."

Subsequently, Schlueter reported that his company is offering self-insured employers, TPAs and UR companies a "mock audit service." He said "the mock audit will include an audit similar to that which the DWC will conduct and a scorecard report similar to what the DWC is currently using. However, going beyond the DWC audit program we will evaluate the outcomes of the UR's provided and deliver a benchmark report to compare your outcomes to national averages regarding percent of approvals, modifications, delays and/or denials. Further," he said, "we will provide a benchmark on the average cost of your UR program. Thus we are offering an audit for quality and cost-effectiveness."

JAG is awaiting the acceptance of this report by the TSX-V before making it publicly available on SEDAR, at which time a press release to this effect will be issued.

Temiscouata property :

This property represents the biggest portion of the petroleum and gas project. It covers in excess of 193,000 hectares. The property is covered by Devonian rocks consisting of a succession of siliclastic rocks (including black shales and mudrocks), limestone and conglomerates. In 2007, DGPS positioned MAG and EM surveys were completed along more than 800 line kilometers covering in excess of two thirds of the property. More than 750 sampling stations were established and gas, soil and mineral samples were taken and sent for laboratory and ROCK-EVAL testing.

Lac St-Jean property:

While the greater Lac St-Jean geological area is located within the Grenville province, the ordovician-aged sedimentary rocks cover discordantly the local stratigraphy made of precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks along the lake's south-west shore. It is opined that the Ordovician sedimentary rocks are part of the Lower St-Lawrence lowlands basin. Prior to the glacial age erosion, the theory holds that a carbonate platform covered the majority of the territory between Ontario and Anticosti. Around the lake the thickness of the sedimentary rock sequences is believed to be between 60 to 80 meters while being unknown under the lake.

In 2006, DGPS-positioned MAG and EM surveys were completed along more than 720 line-kilometers covering around 70% of the property. The results were superimposed over satellite-imaging surveys to obtain a clearer regional picture. Shales and sedimentary rock outcrop samples were taken along the lakeshore, regional roads and in quarries. These samples were sent out for ROCK-EVAL and standard testing.

Charlevoix property:

The Charlevoix properties covers paleozoic sediments remaining following the regional erosion of the most collapsed areas of the native St-Lawrence lowlands, immediately to the north of the non-native sediments from the Appalachian Front, specifically caracterised by a devonian-age meteor impact dating to around 350 Ma. which caused a marked collapse of the base and platform.

In this region, JAG is searching for potential oil and gas-bearing formations preserved within sedimentary sequences similar to those found elsewhere in the St-Lawrence lowlands. It is also possible that gas was trapped within the Quarternary sediments that cover the ordivician rocks in a similar way to the Pointe-du-Lac, St-Lawrence Valley, Quebec, deposits previously discovered and exploited.

DGPS positioned MAG and EM surveys were recently completed along the Gouffre river graben. These surveys were superimposed over satellite images to get a better understanding of the regional geophysics. A litho-geochemical reconnaissance survey was completed on the sedimentary and ordovician rock outcrops along the Du Gouffre and Malbaie rivers. These samples were sent for ROCK-EVAL and other standard testing.
