Mineralization Comments

Jul 03, 2012 (D Draper) - Tremblay grab sample 7501 was collected from the southwest shore of the small pond in the center of the twp, west of Elaine Lake. It was noted as being mineralized with chalcopyrite and returned values of 1960 ppm Cu, 665 ppm Zn and 106 ppm Ni (T-3655). Drillhole SHY-001, collared approximately 220m SW of the shoreline of the same lake, cut a 1.7m zone mineralized with sphalerite at 3.7m downhole. This unit returned an average of 0.34% Zn, including a 0.2m section assaying 1.42% Zn. A 5-meter zone of semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite, pyrite and magnetite was encountered at 67m downhole and was deemed to be the cause of the conductor being targeted by this drillhole.
