Sep 08, 2014 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of mafic intrusives/volcanics, undifferentiated felsic intrusives and mafic metavolcanics. A semi-massive sulphide zone was intersected between 98 and 98.8 m and a massive sulphide zone between 98.8 and 99.4 m.

Sep 21, 2012 (B Atkinson) - Diamond drilling by Amador Gold Corp. encountered massive to semi-massive sulphides of pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite +/- pentlandite in drill hole FP-08-07. Anomalous copper values were reported in the drill core. Sulphides are semi-massive to massive, banded and net textured. Mineralization extended down hole for 60 m but the thickest massive section was 0.6 m and contacts indicated the hole was drilled down dip of the mineralization.
Sep 08, 2014 (D Draper) - Drillhole FP-08-07 returned up to 2688 ppm Cu and 555 ppm Ni over 1m.
Sep 08, 2014 (A Wilson) - The semi-massive zone of mineralization is comprised of 85% massive magnetite with 15% quartz veining, overlain by 35-40% semi-massive brassy brown pyrrhotite +/- pentlandite and minor chalcopyrite. The massive sulphide zone is comprised of pyrrhotite+/- pentlandite.
