Aug 21, 2015 (A Wilson) - Mineralization is reported to occur in quartz veins within a wedge of mafic volcanic rocks enclosed in ultramafic rocks. The mafic rocks are reported to be ankeritized and slightly silicified. Diamond drilling intersected a series of narrow quartz veins and stringers.

Aug 21, 2015 (A Wilson) - Some drilling is reported by previous owners of the property. Intersections of 2.86 g/t Au over 3.38 m, 1.8 g/t Au over 12 m and 1.9 g/t Au over 3.4 m were reported at that time. Visible gold has been reported, together with pyrite. No arsenopyrite has been reported. Diamond drilling by Gowest in 2013 returned an anomalous gold value of 0.80 g/t over 0.7 m in altered mafic metavolcanics, 170 m below the Dowe gold zone.
