Mineralization Comments

Jun 26, 2015 (A Wilson) - Gold values are hosted within mafic metavolcanics and mafic intrusives. A silicified flow in DDH MC-456 returned an intersection of 2.31 g/t Au over 0.89 m. A 1 m section of drill core from a syenite intrusive in DDH MC-457 assayed 2.52 g/t Au. A 0.81 m section of a monzonite dike in DDH MC-478 assayed 5.80 g/t Au. Typicial gold values within the mafic metavolcanics returned values ranging from 0.01 g/t Au over 1 m to 0.89 g/t Au over 1 m.
