Aug 17, 2012 (A Wilson) - A band of chlorite schist, some 300 feet in width, passes through the central part of the property. It strikes approximately N-60° -E and dips at 75° to the northwest. The schist band is intruded in places by narrow diorite, diorite porphyry and granodiorite dykes. It is bounded to the north by iron formations some 100 feet vide and to the south by similar occurrences attaining a width of upwards of 200 feet. These iron formations strike more or less east -west and have a potential length on the property of one and one-quarter miles.

Aug 17, 2012 (A Wilson) - A grab sample collected by the Ontario Department of Mines assayed 20.97% Fe, 0.13% P2O5 and trace titanium dioxide. Graphitic horizons up to 19 feet in thickness were intersected in the 1935 diamond drilling. Gold values up to $7.50 Au were recovered from a 5 foot section of core drilled in 1935. Samples of iron formation collected by Krefeld Graphite Gold Mines assayed 55.40% Fe and 47.45% Fe.
