Dec 17, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - A small shaft has been sunk along a shear zone in the Gowganda conglomerate and greywacke. Quartz veins observed and mapped on the property are glassy to milky white in colour and some contain iron carbonate. Small inclusions within the quartz and the adjacent wallrock appear to be strongly altered to a very fine grained dark green to black chlorite.

Dec 17, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - Surface pits have a maximum width of 6 feet and show a few quartz stringers and lean mineralization of pyrite and chalcopyrite. The carbonate breunnerite is common. High values in gold are reported but are probably erratic. Gold mineralization at the property and immediate surrounding area is contained in chloritic shear zones and associated coarse hydrothermal breccias derived from folded, siliceous clastic metasedimentary strata. It is considered that gold mineralization is mesothermal in character and can be classified with the common but highly variable, quartz-carbonate vein subtype of gold mineralization
