Jun 11, 2020 (G Seim) - The 16 Zone is described as a series of altered mafic volcanic bands up to 6 m wide but on average 1-2 m wide within a carbonatized ultramafic horizon. These mafic bands contain the gold mineralization and are carbonatized, sericitized, albitized and silicified and contain up to 15% pyrite and minor arsenopyrite.

Oct 29, 2010 (G Seim) - CC96-16 returned 1.03 g/t Au over a width of 58 m. Included in this zone are several higher grade sections with values up to 11.85 g/t Au over 1.3 m. CC96-18, 100 m to the W, returned an interval of 0.781 g/t Au over 26.2 m including 2.617 g/t Au over 2 m, 1.801 g/t Au over 2.4 m and 1.694 over 3.2 m, and 3.476 g/t over 14.5 m including 13.96 g/t Au over 3.3 m including 29.54 g/t over 1.5 m. Visible gold in quartz veining was reported with the latter sample. CC96-19, 100 m to the E of CC96-16, had a best assay of 1.10 g/t Au over 1.5 m in a zone of anomalous gold content 4.1 m in length. CC96-22, drilled under CC96-16 intersected 4.7 g/t over 3.8 m including 0.8 m grading 20.64 g/t Au on initial assay and 37.85 g/t Au on check assay. This is within a unit of altered ultramafic rock intersected over a core length of 76.1 m.
Oct 29, 2010 (A Wilson) - Richmont Mines Ltd. drill hole CC-10-45 returned: 73.54 g/t Au over 7 m (20.71 g/t Au cut at 30 g/t Au); Drill hole CC-10-46 intersected 22.76 g/t Au over 0.5 m Diamond drilling by Richmont identified two east-trending, sub-vertical mineralized areas in Zone 16, namely the 16 North Zone and the 16 South Zone and confirmed a true width of 5 m for the published intersection of 73.54 g/t Au. Drill hole CC-10-51 returned 13.94 g/t Au over 2.7 m and hole CC-10-50 returned 4.94 g/t Au over 4.5 m in 16 North Zone. Drill hole CC-10-50 returned 15.02 g/t Au over 1 m in the 16 South Zone.
