Apr 24, 2015 (A Wilson) - The pit at the No 1 showing in claim MR16422 exposes a shear zone striking N78ºW and dipping 65º W, which has been replaced by buff and green carbonate. Sphalerite occurs as a thin plating on the joint planes and in fine stringers associated with quartz.

Apr 24, 2015 (A Wilson) - Welsh-Sauvé DDH-1 was drilled on the west side of the lake and returned an assay of 0.04 oz/t Au over an unknown width within highly carbonated greenstones and altered flows. DDH-9 returned an assay of 0.05 oz/t Au, 1.08 oz/t Ag, 3.86% Pb and 9.60% Zn over 19 inches in a quartz vein. The South Copper Zone occupies a strong shear in the peridotite. Diamond drilling on this zone indicated that the zone averages 3.744% Cu over a true width of 6.75 ft. over a length of 800 ft. Teck Hughes bulk sampled all of the remaining half of the core and obtained 3.599% Cu, 0.03 oz/t Au, 0.60 oz/t Ag and 0.309% MoS2.
