Apr 23, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Gold mineralization is confined to large quartz veins mineralized with finely disseminated pyrite and molybdenite. Values are erratic and display a direct association with the amounts of molybdenite present. REF: KL 1737, page 8. The showing returned assays from nil to 0.12 oz/t gold from grab samples of quartz vein material. Values of 1.07 and 0.35 oz/t gold have also been reported. REF: OGS 1979, MDC 18, page. Out of the three diamond drill holes undertaken by Prestige Mines Ltd., only one intersected the quartz vein at a vertical depth of 90 feet. The best result was a 2.5-foot length which assayed 0.02 oz/t of gold. REF: KL 1737, page 5. Four other intersections yielded assays from 0.01 to 0.02 oz/t gold over short intersections.
