Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The northwestern portion of the property is underlain by the Faulkenham Lake granite stock. The dominant rock type of the property is intermediate volcanic rocks. These units have been intruded by dikes of quartz porphyry, quartz-feldspar porphyry and granite. Some of the quartz porphyry dikes have been sheared, and are well mineralized with quartz stringers and veinlets. In the southwest corner of the property, there is a small area of metasediments.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The auriferous structure is comprised of shear zones in units of quartz porphyry. These shear zones contain quartz veinlets and stringers over widths of up to 1.5 m. Three, and possibly four parallel shear zones are present. The mineralized structure extends for about 600 m in length and averages 60 m in width. The best mineralization was intersected around the 180 m to 210 m level. The number 4 drill hole completed in 1947 returned the best results. Values of 0.38 oz/ton (13.028 g/tonne) Au over 0.98 m, and 0.23 oz/ton (7.886 g/tonne) over 0.76 m have been reported. Other recorded results from different drill holes ranged from 0.01 oz/ton (0.343 g/tonne )Au to 0.07 (2.400 g/tonne) Au.
