Lithology Comments

Oct 17, 2014 (A Wilson) - The gold values have been returned from quartz-pyrite stringers in carbonate and silica altered mafic metavolcanic flows. In the area of the Midas property, previous explorers have identified irregularly-shaped ultramafic volcanic flow horizons defined partially on the presence of spinifex textures.

Mineralization Comments

Oct 17, 2014 (A Wilson) - Assays from surface sampling returned assays ranging from 617 ppb Au to 12753 ppb Au. Diamond drilling returned assays that included 5.9 g/t Au over 4.7 including 8.9 g/t Au over 2.6 and 12.1 g/t Au over 0.8 m in M-11-04; 3.8 g/t Au over 3.9 m, including 7.0 g/t Au over 2.0 m in M-11-05; and 1.7 g/t Au over 6 m, including 4.6 m g/t Au over 2 m in M-11-01.DDH M-11-14 returned 3.328 g/t Au over 1 m in quartz ankerite stringers and 1.049 g/t Au over 0.65 m in bleached mafic metavolcanics. Significant gold values were found to be related to quartz±ankerite veins or breccia zones. The zones of the mineralization have strike lengths of between 80 and 300 m. Diamond drilling by New Dimension Resources in 2013-14 returned best assays of 1.870 g/t Au over 0.5 m in MC-13-17; 7.598 g/t Au over 1.5 m, including 15.391 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 6.42 oz/t Au over 0.5 m in MC-13-19.
