Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Noranda drill hole intersected a 2 foot (61 cm) section that returned anomalous zinc, lead, and copper values. This unit is described in the log as a massive rhyolite with magnetite bands that 'take up 20-30% of (the) core length'. This unit is described as having sections of interbanded graphite. From this description, this unit may in fact be a chert-magnetite ironstone. An outcrop of iron formation was mapped to the southeast, striking in the direction of the Noranda drill hole. The drill hole was drilled to the north with an initial collar dip of 55 degrees and a final depth of 383' (116.7 m)'.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - The anomalous assay results were returned from a 2 foot section of drill core described as 'graphite with minor calcite-sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and pyrite visible'.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Anomalous values of 2.9% Zn, 0.65% pb and 0.03% Cu returned from 61 cm length of drill core.
