Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The best assay from New Rouyn drill hole 4 returned 0.40% Cu and 0.50% Ni over 5 ft. The maximum width of the sulphide-bearing zone is approximately 45 feet. A grab sample collected by the OGS in 1968 returned 0.75% Cu with traces of gold. A grab sample collected by Con Shawkey Mines returned an assay of 0.26% Cu and 0.04 oz/t Ag. The best Ni value waa 0.03% Ni and 0.07% Cu from shallow pits north of the main showing.
