Jan 29, 2021 (Sheree Hinz) - The property is underlain by Archean mafic metavolcanics, gabbros and minor banded iron formation. This is intruded by Archean granites in the northeast. A large body of Keweenawan quartz-feldspar porphyry intrudes this package in the central and south portions of the property. Keweenawan basaltic flows overlay and breccias intrude the Archean package in the south and north western portions of the property. Brecciated brick-red felsite with milky siliceous infill in contact to the west with a quartz feldspar porphyry striking 352 and dips 60 west. Random mottled malachite and disseminations/blebs of chalcocite. To the south east of the felsite breccia, mafic volcanics are in contact with quartz-feldspar porphyry reveals a 12 cm shear with stringers of sulphides.

Jan 29, 2021 (A Pace) - A chalcocite showing was found hosted by a highly hematized quartz breccia. This breccia is focussed at the margin of a small porphyry plug. Highest grade copper values came from narrow chalcocite veins in the breccia. Grab samples were taken over a 10 m area, with the highest-grade copper at 11.06% coming from massive chalcocite. Chalcocite was also observed disseminated within the porphyry. A malachite/chalcopyrite showing occurs in a 3 m wide shear at the contact of a mafic volcanic and a quartz feldspar porphyry. This 3 m shear ran 6.41% copper in grab samples. A grab sample of sulphide stringers taken by Superior Copper Corp. in 2011 gave returns of 32.8 ppm Cu; Grab samples of the mineralized felsite breccia returned 5380 and 10200 ppm Cu.
