Oct 11, 2011 (A Wilson) - Solomino Gold Mines Limited collected samples from 19 calcite veins which typically assayed <1.0 oz/t silver. Samples collected by Solomino Gold Mines in 1963 from a 2 inch wide calcite vein assayed up to 3284 oz/t Ag. A sample collected across a width of 2 feet at the bottom of a pit located 450 feet east of the shaft contained 224.1 oz/t Ag and 3.42% Co. Underground sampling of veins by Solomino Gold Mines Limited returned values ranging from 0.04 to 0.89 oz/t Ag and the No. 8 vein returned 1.10% Cu. Samples collected by G. Pinkerton in 1994 retuned the following values: 810.37 oz/t Ag, 7.99 g/t Co, 217.00 oz/t Ag, 0.46% Co and 2.05 oz/t Ag and 0.23% Co. A sample collected from a quartz-carbonate vein at 33.2 feet assayed 6.7 ppm Ag, 2.78% Co and 6950 ppm Ni.
