May 12, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - In 2001, P. Rosko performed mechanical stripping and washing on the claim, focussing on what is described as a 'red porphyry'. Four samples were taken, returning assays of 0.64g/t across 1 metre, 1.03 g/t across 10 cm and 0.36 g/t Au across 20 cm; and 0.34 g/t Au from a grab sample. REF: KL5441 (AFRI 2.29577), page 8. Novawest's 2004 diamond drilling (Hole NW-04-01) on the property intersected a granite for the entire length with local mafic dykes up to 5 metres wide and zones of variable alteration and mineralization throughout. Significant assays include 0.932 g/t Au over 3.9 metres, 0.702 g/t Au over 4 metres, and 1.869 g/t Au over 3 metres. REF: KL5441 (AFRI 2.29577), page 17. Diamond drill hole NW-05-01 by Novawest Resources Inc., in 2005, returned assay ranging from less than 5 ppb to up to 2217 ppb Au. Hole NW-05-01 is located about 160 metres south-southeast of hole NW-04-01(which pertains to the main MDI).
