Jun 29, 2009 (D Draper) - All three holes were collared to test an IP anomaly trace and intersected mafic volcanic rocks containing zones of moderate to intense alteration (sericite, carbonate, hematite, albite).

Jun 29, 2009 (D Draper) - Initial grab samples from the existing trenches reportedly returned gold values from 1.0 to 4.3 gpt . Surface grab sampling in 2008 from the west trench reportedly returned up to 6.4 gpt Au and outcrop samples taken 200m east of the trenches assayed 2.3 gpt. Hole H08-02 intersected a 31.9m alteration zone which included two 1-meter sections assaying 0.63 gpt and 1.90 gpt Au. Further downhole, sulphide-rich sericite altered zones returned 3.42gpt over 0.2m and 1.14gpt over 0.3m. The best returns from Hole H08-01, collared 180m east of hole H08-02, was 2.4 gpt Au over 1.05m within a 20m alteration zone and a section of 2.06 gpt over 1 m at the upper contact between mafic volcanics and a felsite dike. The best returns from Hole H08-03, collared 130m west of hole H08-02, were four 1-meter samples taken within a 14m wide alteration zone. These assayed 0.69 gpt, 0.96 gpt, 0.91 gpt and 1.04 gpt Au. Two narrow zones of alteration lower in the hole assayed 1.07gpt over 1.4m and 2.06 gpt Au over 0.35m. (T-5804)
