Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The iron formation is reportedly conformably overlain by andesitic flows and tuffs and all rock units have been folded about an east-trending, steeply west plunging anticline.
Oct 05, 2012 (P Bousquet) - The granite (feldspar porphyry?) seems to be the host of the mineralization. It is the only rock where iron carbonate alteration is observed, with minor pyrite occuring as disseminations and minor fracture-filling (+/- qtz) and containing significant gold values.
Dec 07, 2005 (Q Unknown) - Area underlain by assorted breccias, tuffs, flows conformably overlain by Woman River iron formation.

Oct 05, 2012 (A Wilson) - Trench 2 assayed 0.41 oz/t Au over 30 feet, trench 1 0.09 oz/t Au across 50 ft. The No. 5 zone, 450 feet to the northwest of trenches 1 and 2, returned assays of 0.07 oz/t au across 32 feet. The two zones may be part of the same mineralization (T-1932 / 2.3037).
Oct 05, 2012 (P Bousquet) - Trenches dug for Murgor Resources Inc. (T-4798 / 2.24965) in 2002 have brought back interesting assays. The highest assay from channel sampling was 15.5 g/t Au over a metre in trench 02-1. Trench 02-2 has returned an assay of 8.5 g/t Au over 0.7 metre. Diamond drilling performed by Domego Resources Ltd. in the vicinity of trench 02-1 have also intersected gold in three holes (80-1, 80-2, 80-3, T-1932 / 2.3037) with an highest assay of 0.075 oz/t Au over 0.9 feet. Other holes (668-6-84 and 668-7-84 from Falconbridge Ltd, T-2345 / 2.8485) in the area have intersected gold. The highest intersection was 0.09 oz/t over 4 feet (668-7-84).
Dec 07, 2005 (Q Unknown) - Gold bearing zones occur in rhyolite in fracture zone.
