Mineralization Comments

Jul 12, 2007 (D Draper) - All six holes drilled in 2004 intersected elevated gold values. These holes were co-collared in two locations approx. 50m apart along the shore of a point into Three Ducks Lake in the NW corner of patent S200096. All holes were comprised of units of trondhjemite and diorite cut by quartz veins mineralized with py and cpy. Sulphides were also present as disseminations within the trondhjemite. Visible gold was reported in 2 holes-YS04-02, YS04-05-and molybdenite noted in YS04-03 and YS04-04. Selected gold assay results: YS04-02: 1.03 g/t over 3ft starting @ 5 feet downhole; an average of 1.37g/t over 16.5ft @ 342.5ft; an average of 3.22 g/t over 20ft @ 763ft. A 2-foot sample of a quartz vein with py, cpy and V.G. @ 120.7ft returned 155.59 g/t. YS04-04: 3.15g/t over 4ft @ 200ft; 7.23 g/t over 2.5ft @ 805ft. YS04-06: an average of 2 g/t over 5.5ft @ 300.5ft; avg. of 1.07 g/t over 18.5ft @ 526.5ft. Seven holes drilled to the SW of YS04-02 in 1997 also yielded above minimum Au values over short intervals, for example: Y-232: 0.10opt (3.4 g/t) over 3.2ft @ 136.2ft; 17.07opt over 0.4ft (quartz vein with V.G.) Y-225: 0.34opt (11.6 g/t) over 2.8ft. (AF T-5021 & T-4003)
