Jul 11, 2007 (A Wilson) - The diamond drill hole intersected a sequence of peridotitic-komatiite flows, gabbro, banded magnetite and chert iron formation, carbonated tuff and metasediments and intermediate to felsic tuffaceous pyroclastic rocks. The drill hole terminated in altered ultramafic breccia. All units are cross-cut by mafic dikes and feldspar porphyry dikes.

Nov 10, 2006 (D Draper) - DH PM-03-02 (282m, bearing Az. 320deg, dip -45deg) Best assay: @ 26 - 27.15m, 0.22% Ni in massive peridotitic komatiite w/ minor py; @ 27.15 - 27.58m, 0.26% Cu, 0.09% Ni in massive sulphide breccia min w/ po, py, cp (80-85% sulphides) --also multiple zones between 93.6m and 150.5m downhole of perioditic komatiite ranging from 1.3m to 8.7m thick which assayed from 0.08% to 0.16% Ni. Hole PM-03-01 (204m, bearing Az. 320deg, dip -45deg) collared 105m NW of PM-03-02: --0.11% Ni @ 32.9 - 34m in a brecciated ultramafic dike/sill min w/ minor py --0.12% Ni @ 43.3 - 43.9m in massive peridotitic komatiite w/ minor sulphides Hole PM-03-03 (272m, bearing Az.320deg, dip -45deg) collared 210m SSW of PM-03-02: --Two Ni-bearing zones in massive, carbonated, talcose peridotitic komatiite: --0.09 - 0.14% Ni @ 112.3 - 120.3m; --0.12 - 0.13% Ni @ 125 - 128.4m --Two gold-bearing zones of banded iron formation: --4.55 g/t @ 133.5 - 134.4m min w/ 2-3% fine grained py --0.67 g/t @ 137.6 - 138.6m w/ 70% massive po; 1.04 g/t @ 139 - 139.7m w/ 60% net-textured po
Jul 11, 2007 (A Wilson) - The best nickel assay returned 0.14% Ni from a 1 m section of massive talcose komatiites. Elevated gold values up to 4.55 g/t over 0.91 m were returned from banded iron formation.
