Mineralization Comments

Apr 15, 2009 (D Draper) - Drillhole ML96-01 intersected two sulphide zones, the upper designated M-1 and the lower M-2. M-1 returned copper values up to 5640ppm; M-2 assayed from 1250ppm to 36200ppm. Best cobalt assay from within the M-2 zone (155 to 160.5m) was 191 ppm over 0.7m. This sample also assayed 7100ppm Cu and 141ppm Ni.


Apr 15, 2009 (A Wilson) - The best assay from the drill hole returned 36200 ppm Cu, 114 ppm Ni, 143 ppm Co and 0.10 g/t Au over 0.5 m. The best gold value returned 0.25 g/t Au over 0.3 m.
