Jul 24, 2017 (A Wilson) - The general geology of the Deerhorn property consists of Keewatin volcanics and sediments occurring below Nipissing diabase. A wedge of Huronian sediments between the Keewatin and Nipissing starts to occur about 700' east of the shaft, strikes N-S and thickens to greater than 200' at the east boundary.

Jul 24, 2017 (A Wilson) - Silver values from the drill holes returned assays ranging from 0.04 oz./tt over 10 ft to 0.12 oz./t over 3.1 ft. A 1.5 ft. section of core from DDH 8 assayed 0.54 oz Au, 0.04% Cu, 0.39% Pb and 0.198% Zn. Low grade arsenide veins were intersected in holes DH 14 and DH 16 about 1800' southeast of the shaft. The following assays occurred with the veins: a) DH 14 at 612.5' a h" calcite-cobalt vein assayed 0.74 oz. Ag/ton over 0.6'. b) DH 16 at 479.3' a 1/8" calcite-cobalt vein assayed 0.13 oz. Ag/ton over 0.3'. A core sample collected from a drill hole that intersected the lower contact of the diabase returned 500 g/t Ag over 0.3 m.
