Aug 26, 2010 (G Seim) - The No. 1 Carb zone has a width of approximately 125 feet and extends for approximately 6500 feet. Bright, 1970 reports a 800 foot long and 2 to 4 foot wide quartz vein is present 1000 feet NE of the E bay fo Campbell Lake. The vein strikes N50E through an area of sericitized arkose. The gold values in surface trenches and in drill core are low. Some gold values were obtained from hole G-24A in a quartz-bearing shear near the conglomerate-rhyolite contact to the west of the Campbell vein surface outcrops. Sylvanite Gold Mines Ltd. mapped 3 green carbonate zones cutting through metasediments. The No 1 zone traces SE through the vicinity of the Campbell veins which strike to the NE. The No. 2 shear zone trend NE between Fold Lake and Bluebottle Lake. The No. 3 zone to the north of Fold Lake appears to trend E. Sylvanite noted the the green carbonate zones are mineralized with quartz stringers.

Aug 26, 2010 (A Wilson) - Grab samples collected by P. Silams returned values up to $1.20 gold per ton, 9 oz/t silver and over 2.5% Cu. Grab samples collected by Sylvanite Gold Mines from trenches returned assays up to 3.20 dwt (4.976 g/t Au). Gold values of 0.033 oz/t Au over 3 feet were obtained in DDH G-24A and 0.08 oz/t Au over 9.8 feet from a sludge sample from the same site by Goldteck Mines Ltd..
