Mineralization Comments

Apr 02, 2014 (A Wilson) - Anomalous gold values over 0.5 m in the range of 524 to 891 ppb were reported from the two drill holes completed by Getty in 1988. Samples collected by Goldstream from the Teardrop grid, from around areas of old trenching and pits over a strike length of 800 m returned values over 1,000 ppb Au where the Klob Lake fault intersects dirty iron formation, conglomerates and volcanic breccias. In the Teardrop area, 135 grab samples were collected and 4 grab samples from historical trenches returned assays over 1,000 ppb Au. The highest values (1,630 ppb Au and 1,520 ppb Au) were found in a rusty shear zone within sandstone.
