Jun 24, 2016 (A Wilson) - Assays from this showing returned values ranging from 0.6 lb U3O8 over 5 ft. to 1.8 lb U3O8 4.5 ft. A sample collected by Mr. Alanen assayed 0.61% U3O8 and 0.30% ThO2. A representative sample collected from a conglomerate by J.E. Thomson assayed 0.38% U3O8 and 0.10% ThO2. A grab sample of sheared radioactive conglomerate from a second pit assayed 0.05% U3O8. Samples from the diamond drilling program completed by Espina Copper returned values of 0.013% U3O8 over 5 ft. and 0.011% U3O8. Resampling of trenches returned assays ranging from 0.46% U3O8 over 1.1 ft. to 2.38% U3O8 over 2.5 ft. Thorium values ranged from 0.35% over 3.7 ft. to 3.70% over 1.8 ft..
