Mineralization Comments

Jun 28, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - At the time of staking a channel sample was cut down the face of the lens showing which ran in assay 0.27 oz Au., 14.4 oz Ag., and 7 % Cu. REF: Technical Report by Robert Sheedy (dated July 1977) in KL 2598. Assays of grab samples collected on the property in 1990 ranged from nil to 0.036 oz/t gold, and nil to 0.24 oz/t silver. REF: KL 0734. Diamond drill hole # 78-6 was drilled in the vicinity of a surface showing of copper-silver mineralization in syenite porphyry. 'Low values in copper, gold and silver are reported in the assay results.' REF: KL 1888. Lovell, H.L. collected 5 grab samples from the vein material. The average assay was 0.27 ounces of gold and 12 ounces of silver per ton. REF: OGS 1967, GR 51, page 32.
