Lithology Comments

Nov 28, 2012 (A Wilson) - The main mineralized zone occurs within a dark green, recrystallized chloritic rock that lies between two felsic pyroclastic units (rhyodacitic tuff and rhyodacitic tuff breccia). A second mineralized zone lies stratigraphically below the main zone and is hosted within the rhyodacitic tuff-breccia unit.

Mineralization Comments

Nov 28, 2012 (A Wilson) - The mineralized zone is greater than 2000 ft long and has a width of 20-120 feet. Another sulphide zone lies stratigraphically below the Main Zone. This second zone is also over 200 feet long and 10-150 ft wide. DDH 42694 returned best assays of 0.27% Cu over 1 foot and a 9 foot section of core returned an average value of 0.48% Cu. DDH 42695
