Oct 22, 2014 (P Bousquet) - Drillhole FC99-48 intersected a series of mafic volcanic rocks which become strongly altered once nearing the mineralized zone. The rocks are foliated, showing weak chlorite, sericite, ankerite and silicification. Shearing seems to increase with depth.

Oct 22, 2014 (P Bousquet) - The mineralization occurs in a white and black quartz vein located 267.20 metres down the hole (FC99-48). The vein looks fractured, accompanied with a marbled texture. Tourmaline is present in very fine needles. The bottom contact shows 1-2% coarse pyrite and pyrrhotite. Contacts are irregular at high angles to foliation, 23 degrees to core axis. The zone returned two assays: 25.58 ppm Au over 0.58 metres and 4.37 ppm Au over 0.65 metres (T-4234).
