Lithology Comments

Nov 29, 2012 (A Wilson) - Sampling by Temex has returned several highly elevated gold assays up to and including 6.58, 11.25 and 13.03 g/t gold along with highly elevated copper, silver and arsenic. Nickel and lead are mildly elevated. The values occur in sulphide-rich fractures up to several centimetres and cut gabbro in a general east-west trend. The fractures occur over a cross strike of about 100 metres.
