Apr 02, 2014 (A Wilson) - At Titan, the gold mineralization was traced for 200 m along strike. Visible gold is associated with strongly deformed quartz veins within sheared, fine grained, mafic volcanic or gabbro at Goldstream’s newly defined “Morrow Lake Deformation Zone”. The showing represents a multiple vein system with at least 4 veins carrying gold. High gold grades were received from the channel sampling program. The quartz veins are smoky grey to white and often display an orange colour due to oxide staining. The Titan Trench zone is located at the site of a fault-bounded fold hinge roughly 300 m north of the regional Klob Lake Fault.

Apr 02, 2014 (A Wilson) - Grab samples collected from the Titan Zone returned values of 1.59, 1.21, and 0.96 oz/t Au. The Titan showing returned grab sample values of up to 11,200 g/t. The best intersections from the 2012 drilling include 11.16 g Au/t over a core length of 3.0 m from 122.9 m to 125.9 m, in drill hole KL 12-01, including 61.80 g Au/t over 0.5 (from 125.4 m to 125.9 m) and a second zone of 2.95 g Au/t over core length of 4.0 m from 195.3 m to 199.3 m including 7.38 g/t over 0.5 m (from 195.3 m to 195.8 m) and 7.60 g/t over 0.6 m (from 197.5 m to 198.1 m) all hosted in sheared/silicified gabbro. KL-12-02b, drilled beneath KL 12-01, encountered 2.22 g Au/t over 1.3 m from 254.3-254.7 m. Drill hole KL-120-08 approximately 80 m to the east encountered 43.78 g Au/t over 2.5 m from 48.0-50.5 m including visible gold over a 0.4 m section from 49.4-49.8 m assaying 271.00 g Au/t. Visible coarse and fine grained gold is found within multiple granular grey-white quartz veins (pyrite ± minor calcite) in trench A and trench C of the main showing and along hairline fractures in drill core. In some veins galena, and possibly molybdenite and malachite have been observed. These veins, hosted within gabbro, have been tightly folded about hinge axis striking on average 120 to 160 degrees. Host rocks are strongly sheared, silicified and locally carbonatized. Thirty seven of the 134 channel samples taken at the three Titan trenches assayed over 0.5 g/t, 9 samples >10 g Au/t. The highest assay values obtained from the channel samples was 31.1 g Au/t and 10.7 g Ag/t over 0.4 m Only one sample, from the Titan showing, returned anomalous molybdenum, of 1,380 ppm in a sample with low gold, 0.2 g Au/t.
