Jan 23, 2014 (A Wilson) - The mafic metavolcanics in the drill hole are described as pillowed and variolitic, carbonaceous and massive medium-grained throughout the length of the drill hole. Narrow quartz-calcite veins were observed within the mafic metavolcanics throughout the length of the drill hole. Between 240 and 244 m, the drill log notes a sequence of scattered dark grey quartz-calcite veins parallel to foliation, some relict pillow selvages also were observed in this part of the drill hole.

Jan 23, 2014 (D Draper) - The log for hole PTH-01(az. 360, dip -45) as submitted for assessment credit showed core sample locations but no assay data accompanied the log (T-3827). A later report by Moneta/Pentland J.V. included a map (Map 4, Summary Compilation, T-4133) which indicated an assay of 3.09 g/t Au over 0.6m for this hole. No further data is on file.
Jan 23, 2014 (A Wilson) - Localized graphitic patches, chloritization and sericitzation was documented in the drill log.
