Jun 14, 2007 (D Draper) - Hole R55-05 returned 3.40% Zn and 3240ppm Pb over 1m at 399.5m and 2.52% Cu, 7640ppm Zn and 20ppm Ag over 0.63m at 508.9m. Both zones are mafic breccias with 25 to 35% sulphide mineralization. Three holes drilled approx. 100m north of R55-05 returned values as follows: R55-07: 5.65% Zn over 0.6m at 360.9m and 1.11% Zn over 1m at 373.6m. Both samples from sheared mafic volcanics mineralized with pyrite and sphalerite. R55-08: Occurrence level assays of Zn (ie > 5000ppm) were returned from many samples taken between 389m to 404m in a schistose felsic volcanic mineralized with py stringers and trace sp, cp, po, gn. Highest value was 1.19% Zn over 1.5m at 404m. R55-10: 1.5% Zn over 1.5m at 519.4m from a felsic volcanic mineralized with py and trace cp and sp. In addition hole R56-21, drilled approx. 250m east of R55-05, returned 2820ppm Cu and 3640ppm Zn over 1m at 160m and 3350ppm Cu over 1m at 165m. Samples were from a sulphide zone in felsic tuff with py, po, sp. (T-4028)
