May 07, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - In Trench T-1, two parallel 10 degree trending shear zones cut a 300 degree to 320 degree striking shear in gabbroic host rock. The northern part of western-most 10 degree shear is 3 feet wide, containing a 2-3 inch white quartz vein and pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, malachite and sphalerite in thin stringers of up to 1 inch wide. REF: KL3254, page 16.

May 07, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - A 1.5 foot chip-sample (sample # 2177) collected from the eastern part of the shear assayed 0.412 oz/t Au, 6.52 oz/t Ag, 0.46 % Cu and 3.84 % Zn. In another example, sample # 2178 collected from across the footwall of the shear in slightly sericitized and carbonatized gabbro containing pyrite, chalcopyrite and minor sphalerite, assayed 0.03 oz/t Au, nil silver, 0.105 % Cu and 0.081 % Zn over 1.5 feet chip sample. These two samples contain less than 0.002 oz/t Pt and Pd. REF: KL 3254, page 16, first paragraph; and Figure G-A. The diamond drilling programs carried out by Hoyle Mining Company in 1951 and by Peter Island Resources in 1988 did not return any significant assays.
