Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Unit containing anomalous gold values is described as feldspar porphyry to quartz-feldspar porphyry varying in colour from pink to buff-grey. Porphyry is brecciated and silicified over various sections with gradational silicification contacts. Fragments are described as being 'jumbled' ranging in size from 1mm up to 10mm and are held in a white quartz matrix that locally makes up to 15% of the rock. The brecciated porphyry unit is bounded by mafic volcanic with a sharp upper contact and an irregular, brecciated lower contact.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Sulphide mineralization consists of very fine trace to 2% disseminated pyrite with one local heavy concentration of 15-20% very fine pyrite associated with a 1 inch quartz node. A 5.4' (1.65 m) section of porphyry breccia returned an average value of 9.8 g/t Au.
Sep 28, 2012 (P Bousquet) - Hole BE-85-6 intersected 12.6 ft at a weighed grade of 0.155 oz/t gold. Most of the gold is concentrated at the brecciated contact of a felsic volcanic rock with a feldspar porphyry.
