Jul 10, 2009 (D Draper) - In Falconbridge hole 668-5-84, gold assay was returned from a unit described as a laharic breccia. Mineralized unit in Halex drillhole 28 (collared 175m south of hole 5) is described as a breccia with dark green chloritic matrix and rhyolite porphyry fragments with quartz and quartz-carbonate veinlets. Highest assaying section is cut by a 13ft-wide fault zone.

Jul 10, 2009 (D Draper) - Hole 668-5-84 returned 940 ppb Au over 4ft from a section of the breccia exhibiting pervasive potash metasomatism. Four surface samples taken from a location within 40m of hole collar, and along surface trace of drillhole, assayed from 1700ppb to 3200 ppb Au (sample descriptions not on file). (T-2345) Best assays from Halex hole 28: 0.027 opt (920ppb) Au over 4.9ft; 0.036 opt (1220ppb) over 2 ft; and a 37.5ft section with an average assay of 0.025 opt, including 5ft of 0.042 opt Au. Halex hole 30, collared 365m south of 668-5-84, returned assays of 549 ppb from two samples taken within a breccia zone. (T-3313) MacDonnell work consisted of several areas of stripping within vicinity of hole 668-5-84. One grab sample returned 2674ppb Au. (T-4260) Archibald sample S6-27 (exact locn undetermined but in vicinity of this drilling), described as a felsic breccia, assayed 0.87 gpt. (T-4375)
