Mineralization Comments

Jun 03, 2009 (D Draper) - Grab samples of the host rock and quartz vein assayed 3170 ppb and 9970 ppb Au respectively (0.09 opt and 0.29 opt). (T-3497) In 2007, VenCan sampled an intermediate volcanic float approximately 200m west of the Troup sample (along road). This sample returned 3.27 g/t Au. Followup trenching at this float site did not locate its source.
