May 27, 2016 (A Wilson) - Gold values from the drilling returned assays ranging from 6-15 ppb Au; 40-63 ppm Cu and 58-78 ppm Zn. A quartz vein 1.3 ft. in width cuts dacite Free gold was reportedly found in several places along the vein. Three samples of the quartz veins containing 1%, pyrite-chalcopyrite and 5-10% pyritized wall rocks fragments have returned 0.01 oz. Au per ton and up to 0.08 oz. Ag per ton. The best assays from a quartz-calcite vein returned 0.62% Pb, 1.92% Zn, 0.27% Cu and 0.09 oz. Ag per ton. Assays returned from sampling ranged from 0.64 to 1.99 oz/t Au. Assays collected from the vein close to surface at the adit entrance returned assays ranging from 0.05 oz/t Au to 3.77 g/t Au.
