Jul 28, 2006 (D Draper) - Assays of core returned 0.09% - 0.21% Ni in peridotite from 427ft to 674ft. The peridotite is described as magnetic, serpentinized and carrying stringers and veinlets of magnesite and talc. Only one reference in log to sulphides within zone of Ni assays (occ. visible specks of sulphide--unspecified) . A 1-foot sample of the brecciated tuff unit @ 196.4ft assayed 0.024 opt Au. The unit was mineralized with 3% po, disseminated py, tr cpy and possibly sphalerite. This same sample returned the highest copper assay for the hole, at 0.15% Cu. (AF T-3213)
