Sep 08, 2014 (D Draper) - Two trenches, approximately 60 feet apart, expose an arcuate, east-west trending, north dipping, quartz-chlorite zone. The zone averaged 8 feet wide. The hanging wall was composed of ultramafic material. Ultramafic footwall material was subsequently intruded by a quartz-feldspar porphyry dike.

Sep 08, 2014 (D Draper) - Initial sampling of 2 trenches put down on the zone returned up to 2.67 g/t Au and 2.42% Cu. Klondike grab sample 15241 was taken slightly west of the trenched area and consisted of quartz veining mineralized with up to 7% chalcopyrite. This sample assayed 1.45% Cu. Two other samples taken at the same location returned 1.27% and 8680 ppm Cu.
