Mineralization Comments

Dec 08, 2015 (A Wilson) - Sample 84-092-BH returned 2200 ppb Au and Sample 84-055-BH returned ppb Au. Gold analysis of the heavy mineral concentrate ("H" fraction) supplied enriched or anomalous values for samples 84-55-B, 84-58-B, 84-92-B, and 84-50-B. The first and last of these samples contained 2 and 3 abraded, visible gold grains respectively. Sample 84-51-B contained 2 gold grains, one of which had a delicate shape, but had a geochemical response of only 100 ppb.
