Mineralization Comments

Jun 03, 2009 (D Draper) - VenCan sample 86037 assayed 5240ppm zinc. Sample 86036, taken at the same location, assayed 4820ppm Zn and 1560ppm copper. Sample 86032 was taken 85m to the south of these two samples, across a small pond, and returned 2520ppm Cu. No mineralogical description for the samples was filed. Follow-up trenching near the sample locations failed to reach bedrock.
