Mineralization Comments

Mar 20, 2015 (A Wilson) - A 5 foot core intersection between 233 and 238 ft., from the North Expo Mines Ltd. drilling assayed 2.56% Cu. In a second drill hole, a section of core between 90 and 100 feet averaged 0.50% copper. Dufresne and Chartre samples AA-1 and AA-3returned 0.04 opt Au, 3.74% Cu and 0.06 opt Au, 2.23% Cu respectively (sample locations not shown). The samples were collected from within the stripped area 1(L. 1179890) as located on map areas of trenching and stripping for Chartre-Dufresne property (map KL-3311-1 in file KL-3311personal communications). Gold assays from samples collected in 1993 were low but copper assays were up to 0.91%.
