Apr 09, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Of the three holes drilled on the property in 1979, Hole 1 was collared to test the possibilities of the old trench for the presence of gold. Holes 2 and 3 were drilled along strike, with a 100 feet (about 30.48 m) spacing. Hole 1 assay returned (for instance) trace to 0.03 oz/t Au and 1.0 to 3.1 oz/t Ag over 45 ft (51.5 to 96.5 ft). Hole 2 returned results including 0.012 to 0.6 oz/t Au and 0.2 to 0.9 oz/t Ag over 31 ft (45 to 76 ft). REF: Technical Report on the King-Weekly Mining Claim (in KL1427). Diamond drilling in 2007 by Warrior Ventures Inc. did not intercept any significant gold anomalies although one of the holes (WW-07-01) reported 0.7 g/t Au over 1 meter. REF: KL 6222, page 41-42.
Mar 18, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - The drill core logs mention epidote alteration, silicification and hematite staining in some andesite and syenite intervals.
