Dec 14, 2016 (Andrew Tims) - Bedrock consists of sheared and altered felsic-intermediate metavolcanics and chert-magnetite iron formation dipping steeply northward. Alteration/mineralization are focused about a series of banded chert magnetite iron formations hosted within intermediate to felsic metavolcanics that have been altered to chloritized quartz porphyritic tuffs and chlorite-sericite schists. Shearing has resulted in a pyrite chert-chlorite-magnetite breccia from highly deformed iron formation.

Dec 14, 2016 (Andrew Tims) - Initial sampling of a gossan zone just north of the Wawiag River - Deatys Creek junction yielded 0.239 and 0.720 oz./ton Au from composite grabs. Trenching returned values up tol 1.44 g/t Au over 4.40 metres and 2.2 g/t gold over 4.0 metres. 8.6 g/t Au over 0.55 meters
