Apr 16, 2018 (K Houle) - Unit containing anomalous Au and Zn values intersected in a drill hole at a vertical depth of 57m. Unit is described as a Pyrite-Sericite-Quartz-Sphalerite Schist. This unit is a light grey, highly schistose and strongly mineralized altered tuffaceous rock. This altered zone is described as being centred around a few 5 inches calcite ladder veins with pyrite and sphalerite bands.

Apr 16, 2018 (K Houle) - Unit contains overall about 8% pyrite and 1% sphalerite associated with a highly altered and sheared tuffaceous zone. Pyrite and sphalerite bands are associated with a few 5 inches thick calcite veins at centre of unit.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The best assays occur within a sericitic unit. At 292-295 feet Zn 8740 ppm.
Apr 16, 2018 (P Bousquet) - The hole intersected also a 4.7 ft intersection of pyrite-sericite-quartz-sphalerite schist which returned an assay of 0.045 oz/t gold and 7640 ppm Zn (T-3332).

Geologist: K Houle
Notes: Hole H88-5 was not located on the ground so hole H88-14 has been used as a reference point. The casings and hole locations for many of the holes drilled as part of this program are easily located south of the small pond.
Date: Jul 12, 2016
Geologist: P Bousquet
Notes: Hole H88-5 is located to the west of the small pond according to DDP in T-3332.
