Lithology Comments

Jun 25, 2013 (G Seim) - The hole collared at 35 m in a mafic fragmental exhibiting moderate pervasive carbonate alteration, moderate pervasive chlorite alteration and locally strongly pervasive sericite alteration. Pyrite was observed locally associated with narrow quartz carbonate veins. A strongly sericitic zone from 81.3 m to 82.5 m carrying 25% quartz-carbonate and traces of pyrite arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite returned a gold value of 538 ppb. From 87.1 m to the end of the hole at 384 m pillowed mafic volcanic rock was intersected exhibiting similar alteration, veining and mineralization to the preceding unit.

Mineralization Comments

Jun 25, 2013 (A Wilson) - The best assays from the reverse circulation drilling returned values of ranging from 550 ppb Au over 1.7 m in QT86-136 to 5400 ppb over 1.9 m in QT86-136 (reverse circulation drill holes). Diamond drill hole MC-25-1 assayed 538 ppb Au over 1.2 m in sericitized mafic fragmental rocks.
