Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Adeline International Mines Ltd. drill hole AIM-83-5 intersected a weakly mineralized felsic tuff at a drill depth of 410' (125 m) which returned anomalous gold values. The hole was drilled to a total depth of 500' (152.4 m) at a bearing of N40E and initial collar dip of -45 degrees. Unit is vaguely described as a felsic tuff, tan to pink to medium green in colour, fine grained, and finely bedded. The felsic tuff is said to have undergone sericitic and hematitic alteration.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Trace to 1% disseminated pyrite throughout the section length of 90' ( 27.4 m). Anomalous gold values were returned from samples throughout this section, several of which were in excess of 0.10 oz./t. One of the better assays, 0.131 oz./t Au, was associated with a 2.9' section of white quartz with trace pyrite mineralization. Other notable assays include a 3' sample with 0.181 oz./t and a 1' sample with 0.34 oz./t Au. A cherty iron formation intersected early in the hole, 88.7 ' (27 m), assayed 1.72% Cu associated with a 6 inch section containing epidote together with quartz, pyrite, and 5% chalcopyrite.
