Feb 29, 2008 (A Wilson) - Gold values up to $149.00 Au have been returned from channel and grab samples. A .5 ft section of intermediate metavolcanics returned 4.72% Cu, 0.47 oz/t Ag and trace Au near the base of the drill hole. A 1.6 ft section of rhyolite ireturned 1.61% Cu, 0.13% Ni, 0.13 oz/t Ag and trace Au. Pyrite and pyrrhotite are minor consitituents of the sulphide component. A 1 m section of Falconbridge's drill hole returned an assay of 8980 ppm Zn and another 1 m section returned 2.94% Cu
