Mineralization Comments

Jul 04, 2011 (P Bousquet) - Drillhole 29189 intersected a carbonatized-graphitic dacite-andesite which returned an assay of 22ppm Au (Log in T-0737, assay in TI2861, reported as such) taken at 265ft. Examination of the core showed sulphides (pyrite, chalcopyrite), but could not justify such a high assay. It is plausible that there was a typo on the certificate and the assay should read instead 22ppb Au.
