Jan 25, 2016 (A Wilson) - Samples collected from the shaft by J. Post averaged 0.35 oz./t Au, 10.8 oz./t Ag, 9.14% Pb and < 1% Cu over 2-3 ft. Three subsequent holes through the vein at depths of about 115 ft., averaged less than 0.01 oz./t Au, 2.57 oz./t Ag and similarly reduced values in lead across narrower widths. Five channel samples taken at 10-ft intervals down the shaft, sunk on the main vein, contained an average of 5.71% Pb, 0.43% Cu, 10.9 oz./t Ag, and 0.16 oz./t Au over 2 ft. Three subsequent drill holes completed on the main vein at depths of about 115 ft. averaged <2.57 oz./t Ag and 0.01 oz./t Au. A surface trench in bedrock, containing about 30% pyrrhotite yielded 0.45% Cu over 6-8 feet and on drill hole intersecting the sulphide zone at a vertical depth of 115 ft. returned < 0.04% Cu across 12 feet. Samples of drill core from drilling conducted in 1999 assayed - DDH M-99-01 best gold assay of 15 707 ppb Au over 1.05 m, copper up to 5677 ppm over 0.35 m. Typical assays ranged from 0.01 g/t Au to 0.05 g/t Au over core lengths of about 2.5 ft. Zinc values ranged between 51 and 113 ppm.
