Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a squence of metasediments and intermediate metavolcanic rocks interbedded with quartz feldspar porphyry sills and dikes. At depth, numerous massive pyrite-pyrrhotite fracture fillings are found within the intermediate metavolcanics. Lamprophyre dikes are prominent at depth.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Assays from samples collected from the vein in the 1920's reportedly returned values of $11.00 Au per ton and $60.00 Au per ton. A sample of drill core through quartz-feldspar porphyry returned an assay of 0.05 oz/t Au (Candore Explorations DDH A-1).
