Dec 16, 2010 (A Wilson) - Chalcopyrite and pyrite are found disseminated throughout the quartzite. Narrow bands of pyrite up to 0.25 inches in width were observed in the upper sections of the quartzite. The best assay from the drilling was 0.33% Cu over approximately 1.8 feet in drill hole No. 1. A 23.7 foot section of drill hole No. 1 returned 0.07% Cu. A 1.4 section of core from DDH 2 returned 0.21% Cu. An 11.4 foot long section of core from DDH 4 returned 0.28% Cu.
