Dec 06, 2012 (Nazha Sabiri) - Metavolcanic rocks assemblage intruded by intermediate and ultramafic dikes and sills. About 500m to the south, in Con 4, Lot 12 DDH TM81-1 returned 0.08 oz/T over 0.3 feet and 0.024 over 3.3 feet and TM-81-2 returned 0.023oz/T over 2.4 feet. The Rocks of the area are highly folded, contorted, sheared and altered. To the SE other DDH were drilled but no assays reported. Fault/shear zones trending NNE in general. The main showing is located in a NNE-trending zone of green carbonate rock interbedded with andesitic greenstone with grab samples returning 0.04-011 oz/T gold and copper 4.6% (as reported by Savage $1.40-$3.80 in gold per ton).

Dec 06, 2012 (Nazha Sabiri) - Pyrite bearing Iron-formation containing bands of fine grained pyrite and quartz vein in the vicinity of the shaft. 2-3 feet wide irregular rusty quartz vein cuts strongly schisted greenstone. The vein dips vertically and strikes S20ºW as described in Savage report, KL-2458. Andesite, generally massive but also present some veining up to 15% quartz, slightly mineralized, locally spotted, and sheared. Andesitic tuff with quartz veining in lit- par- lit style. Highly altered lavas in the form of talc-green carbonate and chlorite rocks cut by quartz veins. Presence of feldspar porphyry dike and band of massive pyrite up to 8” wide.
