Jun 18, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Assay values from diamond drilling in 1931 have reported from a trace to 0.03 ounces per ton except for one assay that was 0.10 ounces of gold per ton. REF: ODM 1967, GR 51, page 29. In 1963 selected samples were taken by H.L. Lovell from several types of rock in the dump and along the trench on the claim. Of these, ten assays ranged from a trace to 0.03 ounces of gold per ton, and one sample of syenite containing quartz stringers gave an assay of 0.49 ounces of gold per ton.
