Aug 04, 2017 (A Wilson) - The claims cover a unit of Archean age felsic and mafic volcanic rocks in contact with Proterozoic age metasediments. The volcanic rocks have been intruded by a sill with a gabbro/ultramafic composition. Near the base of this sill is a semi-continuous layer of magmatic segregation-type nickel-copper mineralization in a zone up to 15 m wide.

Aug 04, 2017 (A Wilson) - Assays from the diamond drill hole DH-C-3 returned values of copper and nickel ranging from 0.05% Cu over 5 ft. to 0.17% over 0.5 inches. Nickel assays ranged from 0.03% over 4.6 ft. to 0.03 over 2 ft. Disseminated massive pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite in sheared gabbro. Assays from DDH 1 returned 1.18% Ni, 0.32% Cu, 95.9 g/t Ag/ 0.5m. In the past, select sampling of this zone returned assay values of up to 1.30 oz./t Au and 0.89% Ni over 1.98 m. Anomalous platinum and palladium was also noted, and values of up to 2.66% Cu, 0.157% Co, 1.63% Ni, 1.56 oz./t Ag, 0.034 oz./t Au, 0.059 oz./t Pt and 0.323 oz./t Pd. in an area of similar geology 5 km to the south.
