Mineralization Comments

10/30/2020 (T Pettigrew) - DDH HYR-08-09 returned 8.17 g/t Au over 1 m from 24-25 m from a sheared felsic volcanic with disseminated pyrite. DDH HYR-08-11 returned up to 5.42 g/t Au over 2 m including 9.88 g/t Au over 1 m from 592.7 to 594.7 m from a banded iron formation with massive magnetite and pyrrhotite (Assessment report 20000003800). DDH HYR-1029 encountered visible gold at 81.4 m. Highlights of the 2010 drill program include: -Hole HYR-10-28 intersected 26.40 g/t over 0.50 metres (0.77 oz/t gold over 1.64 feet), within a wider zone of 7.28 g/t over 2.0 metres (0.21 oz/t gold over 6.5 feet). -Hole HYR-10-29 intersected 22.29 g/t over 0.50 metres (0.0.65 oz/t gold over 1.64 feet), within a wider zone of 10.48 g/t over 1.75 metres (0.31 oz/t gold over 5.74 feet). -Hole HYR-10-29 intersected 12.34 g/t over 1.0 metres (0.36 oz/t gold over 3.28 feet) -Hole HYR-10-32 intersected 12.00 g/t over 1.0 metres (0.35 oz/t gold over 3.28 feet), within a wider zone of 9.90 g/t over 2.0 metres (0.29 oz/t gold over 6.5 feet) All five holes drilled into this zone intersected wide zones of iron carbonate-silica-sulphide alteration within altered and brecciated volcanic and sedimentary rocks. In addition to intersecting high grade gold within this zone, the holes also intersected wide zones (up to 70 metres) of anomalous gold mineralization. The Rowan-NT Zone has a potential strike length over 1.8 km and remains open to the north east. This zone continues on to Redstar Gold's Newman Todd project for an additional 2.0 km to the southwest. The Rowan-NT Zone lies along a major regional structural discontinuity which on the Newman Todd property is an alteration/breccia zone marked by a sharp northern contact and has been detected by airborne magnetics. This zone consists of wide spread disseminated gold mineralization with localized higher grade gold zones and associated iron-carbonate, silica and sulphide alteration.
