Lithology Comments

May 09, 2014 (D Guidon) - The drill hole was completed near the southern edge of a 4 km wide, NE-trending band of intermediate volcanic rocks. To the south, the intermediate volcanic rocks are in contact with a band of felsic volcanic rocks. To the east of the hole, the intermediate and felsic rocks are separated by a band of mafic volcanic rocks that contains iron formation.

Mineralization Comments

May 09, 2014 (D Guidon) - DDH GV-89-4 was collared in Claim L879062 at a dip of 45 degrees and a bearing of 360 degrees. Following 22 m of overburden, intermediate volcanic rocks were intersected to 101.6. 4.4 m of massive pyrrhotite rich massive sulphides were then intersected followed by intermediate bleached amydaloidal intermediate rocks. The massive sulphide section assayed 2539 ppm Cu over 2.3 m. It contained 1-2% chalcopyrite.
