Oct 19, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The general property geology is defined by Pye (1951: Map No. 1951-2) which shows the property to be underlain by easterly trending mafic volcanics intercalated with many thin (less than 100 m wide) interlayers dioritic to gabbroic intrusions. These rocks are cut by numerous, generally northwesterly striking narrow diabase dikes. Two easterly trending faults and one northerly trending fault are also indicated on Map 1951-2. The southeasterly striking fault apparently cuts across the area of the old trenches. The 1998 bulldozer stripping, backhoe trenching exposures and diamond drilling results by Peninsula Gold largely confirmed Pye's interpretation with the exception that dioritic to gabbroic interlayers appear to be massive coarse grained flow centres rather than intrusive units. Where observed, these coarse grain units grade into finer grain meta-andesite with no discernable chill margins (Assessment report 42E10NW2006).

Oct 19, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The Zoey 1 prospect is approximately 500 meters to the east of the P-98-07 prospect. Sampling on the Zoey 1 showing in 2022 by Tower Gold returned 4.74 g/t Au (Tower Gold news release Sept 27, 2022). Trench 1 returned assays of 3.19 g/t Au, 1.80 g/t Au, 1.47 g/t Au, 1.13 g/t Au and 1.00 g/t Au from grab samples from the pyritic quartz veins. Two holes, from the same collar location, 1998 P-1 -45 and 1998 P-1 -60 were drilled to intersect the gold-bearing pyritic quartz veined zone exposed on surface in Trench 1. The -45 hole returned gold values of 0.48 g/t Au to 0.77 g/t Au across 4.5 m and one more significant value of 4.03 g/t Au across 0.3 m (Assessment report 42E10NW2006).
