Nov 04, 2010 (A Wilson) - The showing is hosted within an intensely sheared zone in the Gutcher Lake granodiorite. The shear zone hosts quartz-sericite-carbonate-pyrite-chlorite and quartz veining. The shear zone is up to 10 m wide and has a minimum strike of 150 m. The Talisker shear zone has been traced intermittently for over 450 m in outcrop; and for 310 m along strike and to a depth of 150m through drilling.

Nov 04, 2010 (A Wilson) - The highest gold values area associated with the quartz veins that host the highest proportion of fine-grained pyrite as disseminated aggregates or wispy massive veinlets. Significant assays from the 2006 diamond drilling program returned values such as 8.4 g/t Au over 8.16 m (PP-DH05-08) and 11.2 g/t Au over 3.40 m (PP-DH06-05)
