Aug 03, 2011 (A Wilson) - The host rock consists of fine to medium grained, well-foliated rusty weathering graphitic metapelite and metaquartzite. Brownish-orange phlogopite comprises approximately 10% of the rock and helps to define the foliation. It occurs interlayered and intergrown with the graphite flakes. Generally speaking, the coarser-grained rocks have a larger average graphitic flake size. Diamond drilling tested the prospect along a 2800 foot strike length and a width of 1000 feet.

Aug 03, 2011 (A Wilson) - Ten metre samples from all drill holes returned average graphite analyses of 2.53% carbon. The prospect consists of two, northeast trending graphite zones designated as the east (upper) and west (lower) zones were outlined over a 2800 foot length. The zones vary from 40°SE in the south part of the property to 25°SE in the central and north areas. The zones have an estimated true thickness of 100 feet and 30 feet respectively. Mineralization in the east zone consists of medium to coarse graphite flakes (0.5 to 3.0 mm)
