Mineralization Comments

Jul 14, 2014 (A Wilson) - The best grab samples collected by Baltic Mines Ltd. returned assays of 0.12 oz/t Au over 3 feet and 0.10 oz/t Au over 3 feet. Sixteen assays from the 2007 channel sampling program completed by GoldTrain returned values greater than 0.5 g/t Au and 2 samples assayed higher than 1 oz/t Au. Sample 10451, collected from a sericite schist, returned an assay of 2.436 oz/t Au. DDH MI-02 returned best assays of 1.47 ppm Au over 1 m, 1.295 ppm Au over 0.70m.. Sample 95419, collected from a sulphidized quartz vein returned an assay of 0.904 oz/t Au. As noted elsewhere, the D Vein gold occurrence is associated with the major NNW-SSE trending D Shear. The exposed portion of the showing contains disseminated sulphide mineralized, folded and both steeply dipping and flat lying sheared and ribboned quartz veins, up to 6 m in width as well as quartz stringers all hosted within a refolded cataclastic sericitic shear zone showing internal microfolds plunging around 40º to the NW.Trenching along the strike of the D Shear has found gold mineralization in complex structures. The D Vein is reported to have returned a weighted grade of 0.206 ozs/t Au over an average width of 3 m for along 48 m of strike length
