Oct 29, 2010 (G Seim) - Hemlo Gold Mines Ltd. completed a total of seven diamond-drill holes in the immediate vicinity of this occurrence. Four of the holes, including the first, CC93-1, intersected occurrence-grade gold mineralization. Each hole intersected a succession of intercalated mafic and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks altered to chlorite schist and talc-chlorite schist respectively. The lower portion of CC94-5 returned the widest intersection. The gold-bearing zones contain local albitized intervals mineralized with pyrite and arsenopyrite.
Jun 11, 2020 (P Bousquet) - Hole CC93-1 intersected a series of mafic metavolcanics rocks with ultramafic metavolcanics rocks (komatiite), with two fault zones (T-2738).

Jun 11, 2020 (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.
Jun 11, 2020 (A Wilson) - Richmont Mines drill hole CC-10-48 returned values ranging from 12.31 g/t Au over 0.8 m to 1.65 g/t Au over 1.15 m. A new mineralized zone, Mahoney North Zone, was intersected during the 2010 drilling program.
