|---|
Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Porphyritic, becoming cherty rhyolite with section of massive to semi massive sulphides. Rhyolite contains narrow stringers of pyrite that increase in frequency and concentration towards the massive to semi massive zone. Marginally anomalous values of gold and base metals were found to be associated with the sulphides.

| 2 | Pyrrhotite | Economic | Gangue |
Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Narrow stringers of pyrite and pyrrhotite, up to 5%, become concordant stringers and small masses giving way to a zone of massive and semi massive pyrite and pyrrhotite.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The best assay obtained from the drill hole was 0.35 g/t Au.
Nov 13, 2012 (P Bousquet) - The best assays obtained from the drill hole were 0.01 oz/t Au and 0.088% Ni over 5 feet.
