Jul 04, 2012 (D Draper) - Five of the grab samples taken from trenches comprising the Wallbridge 4K Target area returned gold values ranging from 0.726 g/t Au to 2.56 g/t Au (sample 801007). Additional grab samples returned up to 0.78% Zn and 1040 ppm Ni. The only sulphide mineralization noted was massive pyrite in conjunction with the zinc-bearing samples. (T-5818) Drillhole SHY-006, collared 75m southeast of sample location 801007, returned Au values of 0.562 g/t, 0.838 g/t and 0.882 g/t from three 1.5m samples taken from a 9 meter zone within siliceous sediments (iron formation) and metavolcanics (T-5907)
