Jan 22, 2016 (A Wilson) - Zinc values in DDH TX-101-73 ranged from 129 to 8400 ppm, over widths of 1 to 1.5 ft. Copper values ranged from 41 to 405 ppm over widths of 1 to 1.5 ft. Assays from the 1965 drilling program returned silver values ranging from 0.18 oz./t over2 ft. to 0.56 oz./t over 2.0 ft. The intersection returning 0.56 oz./t Ag also intersected 0.28 oz./t Pb. Grab samples taken from the ledge by Goldmac Explorations in 1982 assayed 0.85 oz./ton Ag to 16.6 oz./ton Ag, trace to 0.019 oz./ton Au, 0.01% to 1.272 Zn, and 0.03% to 2.04% Pb.

Geologist: J Suma-Momoh
Notes: June 2017 (J. Suma-Momoh): Rhyolite and rhyodacitic rocks underlie the property. The showing trends 227° and the entire surface displays sulphide staining. It is brecciated and with fragments almost like stretched pillows. There is a general deformation fabric oriented at about 280°. A creek, possibly, the Murdock Creek – Kennedy Lake fault (with water flowing to the northeast) is located at the eastern edge of the outcrop. Sulphide mineralization is mainly semi-massive to massive pyrite, with small amounts of chalcopyrite. Samples collected from the outcrop returned the following assays: JSM-17-57: 2.7 oz/t silver, < 0.016 oz/t gold; JSM-17-58: 5.2 oz/t silver, 0.018 oz/t gold; and JSM-17-59: < 0.1 oz/t silver, < 0.016 oz/t gold.
