Aug 01, 2014 (A Wilson) - The host lithology is a dark grey, highly siliceous felsic fragmental compised of fine-graned siliceous matrix, fine-grained magnetite and quartrz-feldspar phenocrysts/crystal fragments. The footwall rocks are siliceous, coarse-grained lapilli tuffs. The drill hole terminated in the same felsic tuff as the host to the mineralization. The sulphide mineralized horizon is hosted by coarse felsic volcanic fragmental units comprised of large (up to 8cm) volcanic clasts in a siliceous, variably chloritized quartzsericite matrix. Hangingwall fragmentals are devoid of sulphide and non-magnetic while the footwall fragmental horizon is strongly magnetic, and typically more chloritized.

Aug 01, 2014 (A Wilson) - A 0.5 m section of drill core returned assays up to 5.16% Cu, 238 ppm Zn and 33 ppb Au. Mineralization consists of 2.4 m of massive to weakly bedded fine-to coarse-grained pyrite and chalcopyrite that appears as thin bands and disseminations interstitial to the pyrite. Chalcopyrote forms up to 10% of the sulphides. Drill hole M6 intersected a 7.8 m section of core that graded 3.1% Cu and drill hole M7 returned 2.4% Cu over 6 m including 3.4% Cu over 5 m. Drill holes M9, M10, M14 and M15 drilled in 2006 tested continuation of A-Zone. Drill holes M9-10 encountered 7 m of Cu-bearing massive sulphides with Cu values ranging from 0.3% to 0.7%. Drill holes M16 and M17 were designed to test a deep (>100m) ground geophysical anomaly along the same horizon as the A-Zone mineralization, approximately 800m to the south. Drill hole M17 intersected a thick zone (35m) of continuous massive and semi-massive sulphides between 129 and 164m depth which returned anomalous values of copper, zinc, gold and silver, and showed a distinct zonation between the base metals.
