Jul 24, 2013 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of thin bands of mafic (tuffaceous?) metasediments and felsic metasediments which overlie a sequence of andesite and graphitic metasediments. A 100 m thick quartz-feldspar porphyry was intersected between the metasediments and the metavolcanics.

Jul 24, 2013 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a 2.1 ft section of mafic metavolcanics that returned 130 ppm Cu and 1660 ppm Zn. A 2 ft section of felsic metavolcanics assayed 2660 ppm Zn and 310 ppm Cu. A 1.7 ft section of mafic metasediments between 124.5 and 126.2 feet returned 5800 ppm Zn and 1000 ppm Cu.
