Mineralization Comments

Mar 15, 2010 (A Wilson) - A thin conglomerate bed at 1372 m returned 2 times background reading. Weakly disseminated sulphide mineralization occurs throughout the drill hole, especially in the Gowganda Formation. Sulphides are predominantly pyrrhotite and pyrite with very minor chalcopyrite. Isolated weakly anomalous values up to 390 ppm Cu, 115 ppm Ni and 105 ppm Zn were returned from spilt core. A 0.3 m intersection of Mississagi arenite returned 0.005 oz/t gold.
