Mar 20, 2015 (A Wilson) - Biralger Resources DDH C-91-2 returned 0.72 g Au/t (0.021 oz/ton) and 0.16% Cu from 20.5m to 88.6m (68.1 metres/223.4 feet). A second zone in this same hole from 103.5m to 105.0m returned 3.77g Au/t (0.11 oz/ton) and 0.46% Cu over 1.8 metres (5.9 feet). At the Biralger property along the Cairo–Flavelle township boundary disseminated and stringer chalcopyrite and pyrite is exposed in altered syenite of the Cairo stock. Widely spaced diamond-drill holes and surface sampling returned 0.7 gram gold per ton and 0.2% copper over intervals up to 99 m from syenite in contact with sheared basalt
