Geology Comments

Jan 02, 2013 (Nazha Sabiri) - The property is underlain by medium grained, quartz rich diabase about 800 to 1000 feet thick, that carries mineralization on fractures, cross fractures, sheared planes and veins matter. The “Silver Vein” belongs to a vertical and strong set of fractures striking N 80º E in which arsenopyrite and cobalt mineralization predominate. Another mineralized set of cross fractures trend north to N30º E exist within the property as well.

Mineralization Comments

Jan 02, 2013 (Nazha Sabiri) - All joints, cross fractures and the shear planes are mineralized. Mineralization consists of gold, silver, cobalt, copper, zinc and lead. The Galena Vein varies from 2 to 5 inches in width, has been traced for 130 feet, strikes N 30 E and dips to the east. Grab sample from this vein run: 0.03 oz/ton Au, 3.77 oz/ton Ag, 2.01% Zn and 22.43% Pb. , The Silver Vein, 400 feet long, 2-3 inches in width, strikes N 80 W, vertical dip. Assays from a DDH cutting this vein run 0.05 oz/ton Au and 86.96 oz/ton Ag.
