Point Location Description: Collar of DDH TE-98-04
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Unknown.
From 1996 to 1998 Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. completed geological, geophysical, and geochemical surveys on a large property in English, Semple and Zavitz Tp. DDH TE-98-04 intersected occurrence grade gold mineralization over the following intervals 6 m to 7 m (729 ppb Au), 34 m to 35 m (555 ppb Au), 40m to 41 m (507 ppb Au), 47 m to 48 m (538 ppb Au) 78 m to 79 m (897 ppb Au) and 157 m to 158 m (648 ppb Au). Most of the core from the hole was split and assayed. Most of the assay results should be considered anomalous in gold.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pyrite | Economic | Gangue |
Aug 31, 2007 (G Seim) - Pyrite mineralization is found throughout the drill hole, but may be more concentrated through some of the occurrence grade intervals Chalcopyrite was also logged, but did not correspond to the occurrence grade intervals. Grab samples from the trench returned values up to 1200 ppb Au.
Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - The mafic volcanic rock is described as chloritic and sometimes talcose. There is quartz-carbonate veining throughout the hole. Silicifcation and -fenetization- (potassic alteration) are also mentioned in the drill log. Fuschite is also metioned within the mafic volcanic intervals.
