Oct 08, 2014 (J Suma-Momoh) - The quartz vein has a width up to 18 inches, and is traceable for 150 feet. It strikes N 35° W and dips 45° SW. It appears to be associated with a porphyry dyke with the same strike. A grab sample of the quartz containing some pyrite showed a trace of gold on assay. The vein is believed to be located about 600 feet north of McCollum Lake.

Oct 08, 2014 (J Suma-Momoh) - One drill hole put down on this vein (quartz vein) by Prestige Mines Ltd. intersected 2 feet (66.9 - 68.9 ft) of 0.02 ounce of gold per ton. The same drill hole also gave 0.01 oz/t Au over 1.6 ft (68.9 - 70.5), and 0.005 oz/t Au over 1.5 ft (70.5 - 72.00). . In 2002, Phoenix Matachewan Mines Inc. collected a sample of quartz vein from an old trench in the vicinity of the drill hole. The sample returned 0.6 g/t gold. A sample collected by Rickaby returned a trace of gold on assay.
