Aug 05, 2014 (A Wilson) - This hole cut an intermediate to felsic fragmental succession containing two significant intervals of banded sulphides, between 55 meters and 58 meters as well as one further down the hole starting at 194 meters. Host rocks exhibited sericitic alteration, garnet grains and intermittent presence of sulphides (mostly pyrite) and magnetite. The drill hole terminated in garnet-biotite schist.

Aug 05, 2014 (A Wilson) - An upper massive pyrite band (2.8 m) between 55.6 and 58.4 m corresponds with the location of the northern conductor. A second, narrower (0.46m), sulphide-chert horizon at 194.14 m appears to be the strike extension of a second conductor. Assays ranged from 0.242% Cu over 1.6 m, 0.535% Cu over 1.2 m and 0.615% Cu over 0.2 m
Oct 15, 2010 (N Bennett) - The hole intersected sulphide mineralization that is indicative of distal mineralization to classic VMS style mineralization over 3m from 55.6m to 58.6m averaging 0.384% Cu.
