Mar 20, 2015 (A Wilson) - A series of irregular blow-outs of quartz and calcite were observed in the walls of a trench blasted within the porphyritic syenite. The largest quartz-calcite blow-out was exposed in the west wall of the trench near the south end. It was about 3 feet wide and had a strike of N80E with a dip of 70°S.

Mar 20, 2015 (A Wilson) - The irregular pockets of quartz-calcite contain blebs and stringers of galena and chalcopyrite which are occasionally concentrated enough that high-grade hand specimens can be collected. Grab samples collected by Ferguson returned 0.70 oz /t Au, 77.12 oz./t Ag, 1.51% Cu and 75.20% Pub; 1.05 oz./t Au, 2.44% Cu and 14.43% Pub. Chip samples collected by Kaltwasser returned: 1.75 oz/t Au, 10.09 oz/t Ag, 2.25% Cu and 11.08% Pb; 0.70 oz/t Au, 2.27 oz/t Ag, 0.16% Cu and 2.36% Pb. Assays from the sampling completed by Pro Minerals included:0.25 g/t Au, 785 g/t Ag, 11.35% Cu and 22.5%Pb; :0.40 g/t Au, 746 g/t Ag, 0.57% Cu and 21.25% Pb.
