Apr 12, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - At the Lightening Zone, a 1.36 meter channel sample collected by Warrior Ventures Inc. in 2006, yielded 2.20 g/t Au. A number of other channels assayed greater than 0.5 g/t Au, including several above 1.0 g/t. REF: KL 6222, page 27. A 2 cm nugget of gold was discovered at the Lightening Zone during the prospecting program by Warrior Ventures Inc. in 2007. REF: KL 6222, page 34. In addition, grab samples from the Zone have returned between 0.13 g/t to 0.82 g/t Au. Warrior Ventures Inc. diamond drilled a total number of 12 holes. Some of the samples returned 0.31 g/t Au over 0.24 meters, and 0.62 g/t Au over 1.67 meters. The best mineralization, up to 2.66 g/t Au over 0.12 meters (Hole # LZ-07-03), is invariably associated with thin quartz-carbonate veins. REF: KL 6222, page 41.
Apr 12, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - The Lightening Zone is a north-northwest trending quartz-carbonate alteration zone with disseminated sulphides and numerous quartz veins and stringers. REF: KL 6222, page 17, last paragraph.
