Lithology Comments

Aug 31, 2009 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected felsic and mafic metavolcanic rocks and a unit identified as amphibolite. The drill log reports that the tuffaceous are strongly sheared and contain multiple quartz veins. The “amphibolite” is logged as foliated amphibole mafic metavolcanics (amphibole-chlorite schist).

Mineralization Comments

Aug 01, 2014 (A Wilson) - The drill hole averaged 0.06% Cu, 0.01% Ni, 0.72 ppb Pt, 1.51 ppb Pd, 33.5 ppb Au and 1.55 g/t Ag over 114.0 m from 157.5 to 271.5m. A 0.7 m section of core from 394.65-395.35 m averaged 56 ppm Pb, 6470 ppm Zn, 10.3% Fe and 9 g/t Au. Disseminated, shear-hosted, semi-massive and massive sulphides are found in zones throughout the core. Hole NOT-08-1G34 ( also drilled on the same claim) averaged 0.01% Cu, 0.02% Ni, 1.9 ppb Pt, 0.5 ppb Pd, 0.17 g/t Au, and 0.42 g/t Ag over 71.0 meters (from 82.65m to 357.1m; the entire length of this section was not sampled), and 0.01% Cu, 0.02% Ni, 1.8 ppb Pt, 0.7 ppb Pd,4.95ppb Au, and 0.5 g/t Ag over 50.45 meters (from 145.15m to 308.1m; the entire length of this intersection was not sampled). The zone with the highest amount of visible sulphides (from 175.3m to 209.75m) averaged 0.02% Cu, 0.01% Ni.
