Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The drill hole with reported anomalous gold values of 6.68 g/t over 0.27 m. From geology and drill hole location map, the hole appears to have been collared in pillowed basalt with some proximal outcrops reporting pyrite mineralization and carbonate alteration.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - An assay from drill core returned a value of 6.68 g/t Au over 0.27 m. A grab sample taken 25 m north of the drill collar reported a gold assay of 24.69 g/t. A grab sample taken by the OGS in 1993 retuned no anlomalus gold values.
Date: Nov 09, 1999
Geologist: A Wilson
Notes: K. Houle visited the site in August 1993. The drill set up was found by following an old drill road off of the main Orofino/Rundle mine road. The entrance of this old drill road is obscured by vegetation but at the time the trail was easily followed. Casing was not left in the hole but a marker stake was found indicating a total depth of 91.7 m. A grab sample taken about 20-25 m north of the collar in an area reported to have yielded a grab assaying 24.6 g/t Au.
