Mineralization Comments

Jul 08, 2015 (A Wilson) - Pyrite is observed within feldspar porphyry as well as in narrow pinkish breccia seams (up to 2%) locally. DDH MC-87-367 returned a best assay of 0.07 oz/t Au over 1.02 m in a silicified section of arkosic sediments. DDH MC-87-368 returned an assay of 0.72 oz/t Au over 0.93 m from a siliceous intrusive. The underlying basalt returned an assay of 0.68 oz/t Au over 0.45 m. DDH MC-86-260 returned a best assay of 1.03 oz/t Au over 1.16 m within a variably silicified basalt. DDH MC-86-256 consistently returned assays of 0.34 oz/t Au over 1 m increments between19.4 and 72.95 m in high-magnesium basalts and interbeds of syenite. DDH MC-91-710 returned assays ranging from 0.07 g/t Au to 0.58 g/t Au over intersections of 0.53 to 1.00 m in syenite.
