Sep 06, 2012 (A Wilson) - At least two significant fault structures were identified including the Fifth Avenue and Gillies Lake structures. The E-W trending Fifth Avenue fault was intersected in drilling found to contain notable amounts ppm zinc and other elements of interest including up to 25% pyrite +/- quartz ankerite calcite veining +/- graphite +/- gouge at least locally. It is likely that a number of east-west veins which were mined by Hollinger to the east of the Canadel claim occupy this fault. The Gillies Lake fault trends NE/SW and is indicated in part by the presence of porphyry dykes along its margins. Other NW/SE trending faults, at least 6, chop up the NE/SW trending stratigraphy

Sep 06, 2012 (A Wilson) - Assays from trenched compled by Empire Gold Mines in 1917 returned values up to $1640 au from 46 inches of schist.Diamond drill holes completed by Hollinger in 1946 returned assays up to $23.20 Au over 7 ft. Significant drill intercepts from the McLaren Resources drilling include 7.0 gpt Au over 7.4 metres (MTG-11-04) and 24.2 gpt Au over 1.1 metres (MTG-11-02). The other 3 holes intersected highly anomalous gold values including economic values over short lengths (3.21 gpt Au over 1.2 metres - MTG-11-01) and lower values over greater widths (2.10 gpt Au over 3.5 metres - MTG-11-07). The mineralization was traced over a strike length of 180 metres and to a depth of150 metres below surface - hole MTG-11-04, section 480E.
