Mineralization Comments

May 29, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - The shear zone strikes east to west and dips 65 degrees to the south. The zone was followed on the surface for 500 m and is open to the east and west. The width at the discovery area is 5.5 m. Grab samples from this shear zone assayed up to 8.8 gpt Au. Calcite, ankerite, silicification, and sericitic alteration were observed in the shear zone and throughout the property (AFRI 42D15NW2003). Sample 4 collected in 2008 assayed 48.82 gpt Au and 25.8 gpt Ag (AFRI 20000003548). Sample H072554 collected in 2009 assayed 0.133% Cu, 0.013% Ni, 0.01 gpt Au and 0.5 gpt Ag (AFRI 20000004189). Samples collected during the 2005 prospecting program returned assays ranging from 0.17 to 1.207 opt Au (5.29 to 37.5 gpt Au) and 0.8 to 5.2 gpt Ag (AFRI 20000000439).
