Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected a sequence of ultramafics, chlorite schist, altered metasediments and felsic to intermediate intrusives. One elevated gold value was returned from narrow quartz-ankerite veins cutting an ankeritic felsic dike, within altered metasedimentary rocks.

Mineralization Comments

Apr 04, 2012 (A Wilson) - The best assay was returned from drill hole PO88-2 was 2.88 g/t Au over 60 cm from a quartz-ankerite veined zone. A 4.5 m section drill hole JC-941 returned 2.32 g/t Au. A 12.5 m section of drill core from Chevron DDH PO-90-4 returned 0.5 g/t Au (drill hole situated 300 m west of PO88-2). A 1.8 m section of core from DDH TC09-1 assayed 5.28 g/t Au within a feldspar porphyry containing quartz stringers. A 1.0 m section of core from Temex DDH TC09-08 assayed 4.15 g/t Au within the feldspar porphyry. A second low grade interval within the ultramafic unit and close to the feldspar porphyry contact yielded 1.55 g/t Au over 1.3 m. A 1.4 m section of core from the altered metasediments assayed 1.09 g/t Au.
