Mineralization Comments

Apr 16, 2009 (D Draper) - A sample of drill core described as being mineralized greywacke (mineralization unspecified in log) returned an assay of 0.52% zinc over approximately a half foot. Surface sampling reportedly returned values for copper up to 0.5%. DH 2 was collared approximately 160ft (50m) north of the original showing trench. Loose rock from within this trench was resampled in 1992. Samples of quartz vein material mineralized with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and possibly sphalerite returned up to 298ppm Co and 1590ppm Cu.
