May 26, 2014 (A Wilson) - The Nameigos Lake property is underlain by a thick sequence of massive to foliated mafic volcanic flows and amphibolite with thin interbeds of felsic metavolcanic rocks. Outcrops on the property expose a thick assemblage of pillowed mafic flows containing a 2 to 3 m thick interflow horizon consisting of strongly foliated chloritic bands, chert, recrystallized quartz, felsic ash tuff and sulphide mineralization. Due to structural complexity, the banding of the interflow horizon is disrupted, discontinuous, boudinaged, crenulated and folded. The south contact of the interflow horizon is intruded by a strongly foliated quartz+feldspar+biotite dike. Other dikes of similar composition, with a feldspar porphyritic texture, were observed in the vicinity. The dikes are strongly foliated and pyrite-bearing. Although variable across the property, the dip of the interflow horizon was generally to the south at about 35° to 45°.

May 26, 2014 (A Wilson) - The best assay returned 8836 ppm Zn and 1062 ppm Cu over 0.7 m. Other intervals in the drill hole returned: 5940 ppm Zn and 441 ppm Cu over 0.35 m; 6923 ppm Zn and 417 ppm Cu over 0.40m.

Geologist: B Atkinson
Notes: The property visit consisted of an examination of 11 small outcrops that have recently been prospected and hand stripped. Outcrops on the property expose a thick assemblage of pillowed mafic flows containing a 2 to 3 m thick interflow horizon consisting of strongly foliated chloritic bands, chert, recrystallized quartz, felsic ash tuff and sulphide mineralization (Photo 4). Due to structural complexity, the banding of the interflow horizon is disrupted, discontinuous, boudinaged, crenulated and folded. The south contact of the interflow horizon is intruded by a strongly foliated quartz+feldspar+biotite dike. Other dikes of similar composition, with a feldspar porphyritic texture, were observed in the vicinity. The dikes are strongly foliated and pyrite-bearing. Although variable across the property, the dip of the interflow horizon was generally to the south at about 35° to 45°.
