Mar 21, 2007 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected fine-grained well foliated felsic tuffs containing medium- to coarse-grained fragmental layers up to 1.5 m thick. This unit is underlain by chloritized felsic to intermediate tuff with pyrite bands. The drill hole terminated in felsic fragmentals and intermediate tuffs. Talc chlorite schist was intersected in drill hole E3 located 1 km to the east and forms the hanging wall to the mineralization.

Mar 21, 2007 (A Wilson) - The highest assays returned from a thick section of sulphide mineralization returned 0.9% Cu and 1.5 g/t Au. Drill hole E3 is located approximately 1 km east and anomalous copper values up to 1677 ppm and anomalous zinc values up to 269 ppm were recovered from a similar sulphide rich horizon. Sulphides are both massive (up to 5 cm) and semi-massive.
