Apr 28, 2015 (A Wilson) - A zone at the contact between porphyry and meta-conglomerate is exposed 300 m west of highway 566 in a pit 15 by 20 m and a trench 60 m long. In this area, both the porphyry and the conglomerate are locally intensely silicified and cut by a stock work of quartz veins that show at least two stages of development.

Apr 28, 2015 (A Wilson) - The best drill intersections, encountered in 1956-57, assayed 1.05% Cu over 16.5 ft. and 0.75% Cu over 5 ft. A sample collected from a pit on the property assayed 0.52 oz. /t Au and 1.08 oz. /t Ag. Assays of 2.96% Cu also were returned from samples collected at the site in 1955. Gold values up to $1.20 and silver values up to 1.14 oz. /t were obtained in selected samples. A 2000 ton sample collected from a pit was milled and produced 18,958 lbs Cu, 13 oz. Au and 174 oz. Ag. The average Cu content was approximately 0.6% Cu. Assays from Majestic Wiley drilling conducted in 1974 returned 0.16% Cu over 54 ft. and 0.059% over 53 ft.
