Apr 20, 2015 (J Suma-Momoh) - Narrow quartz veins are found in the altered porphyry and adjacent sediments. These carry small quantities of pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, and galena, and traces of gold. The highest reliable assay obtained from surface sampling was 0.1 ounces of gold per ton (3.43g/t). The drilling operations did not yield any encouraging gold values.
