May 25, 2016 (A Wilson) - A shear zone 2-3 ft. wide in pillowed lava has been exposed by stripping on the southeast side of a hill. The shear strikes N36ºW and dips steeply to the southwest. The intermediate rocks of the property area are dominated by massive andesite. This rock type is restricted to the north-eastern portion of the property and occurs as a massive, very hard (cherty), fine grained, significantly fractured, non-magnetic outcrop. The rock is a light brownish grey on the weathered surface and a lighter greenish colour than its mafic equivalent on the fresh surface. This rock also typically contains quartz veinlets with associated minor sulphides. Mafic to intermediate intrusive rocks dominate the exposed outcrop of the property, and are most prominent in the eastern and central portions of the mapped area. These rocks represent portions of differentiated mafic to intermediate irregular-shaped sills. The rocks gabbroic in composition were distinguished in the field from their more felsic dioritic counterparts on the basis of colour and magnetizability. Both these characteristics are a result of the rock's mineral compositions. The gabbroic rocks consist of strictly mafic minerals and are usually free of magnetite and thus non-magnetic, whereas the rocks dioritic in compostion usually appear lighter in colour because of the presence of felsic minerals and are magnetic due to the presence of magnetite

May 25, 2016 (A Wilson) - A 3 foot channel sample across the face of the shear zone assayed 4.5 to 7.7% Cu, trace to 0.14 oz./t Ag and up to 0.01 oz./t Au. One sample, B-3, lies just west and directly on strike with the southern geochemical anomaly. This sample contains 0.001 oz/ton Au and 4.6 oz/ton Cu which corresponds closely with the Au soil anomaly found at the west end of the above-mentioned geochemical soil anomaly. Another sample, B-2, contains the highest concentration of each element assayed. These values, in oz/ton, are as follows: 0.001 Au, 0.16 Ag, 34 Cu, 5.3 Pb and 1.5 Zn. Both above samples were collected from old pits found on the property.
