Lithology Comments

Apr 25, 2013 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of sandstone, arkose and conglomerates of the Upper and Lower Gowganda Formation. Interbeds of mafic metavolcanic tuffs were intersected within some of the sediments and were intersected at the bottom of some of the drill holes.

Mineralization Comments

Apr 25, 2013 (A Wilson) - The mineralized zone has been traced by drilling for a length of about 2000 feet. Average of channel samples from trench was 0.8% Cu over a zone stated to be 9 feet 3 inches in width. Drilling results showed best assays to be: 2.51% Cu over 10.0 feet; 2.00% Cu over 5.0 feet; 1.40% Cu over 20 feet; 1.30% Cu over 2.5 feet; all others were less than 0.60% Cu.
