May 27, 2010 (A Wilson) - The sulphide mineralization occurs in a thin stratigraphic unit of chloritic, micaceous and quartz-rich schistose rocks which probably represent sheared, metamorphosed tuffs and sedimentary rocks. The sulphide mineralization is cross cut by metagabbro and granitic dikes. The mineralized part of the east zone is approximately 255 m in length and up to 18m thick. The eastern zone is estimated to extend for approximately 500 m. The eastern zone lies along the north side of an ENE trending fault

May 27, 2010 (A Wilson) - The west zone was traced for 500 feet in trenches. The mineralized zone strikes N75°E. A parallel lens was intersected by Bankfield in 1948. Grab samples collected by F. F. Osborne (ODM) in 1929 returned $0.20 gold, 3.40 oz/t Ag, 3.40% Cu, 6.70% Zn over 7 feet. Bankfield's drill hole 6 intersected 4.3 feet grading 8.12% Zn, 0.43% Cu, 1.29% Pb, 3.37 oz/t Ag and 0.03 oz/t Au.
