Oct 20, 2012 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of mafic metavolcanics (basalt), dacite, and metasediments. Anomalous copper values were intersected in both intermediate and mafic metavolcanics. Cherty beds containing sulphides were intersected at depth and have been interpreted as iron formation.

Oct 20, 2012 (A Wilson) - Typical assays from the 1956 diamond drilling were 0.3 oz/t Ag over 4 feet in DDH 4; 0.10% Cu over 5 ft in DDH 4; 0.14% Cu over 5 ft in DDH 5. A grab sample of rhyodacite collected by St. Joseph Exploration in 1978 assayed 0.12% Cu, 0.37% Zn, 0.11% Pb and trace Ag and Au. A grab sample of mineralized rhyolite assayed 0.047% Cu, 0.067% Zn, 0.019% Pb, 0.09 oz/t Ag.
