Feb 12, 2016 (A Wilson) - DDH S86-1 was collared in fine grained, fresh, massive, and pillowed andesites. The lavas become buff coloured adjacent to quartz-calcite veinlets and fracture fillings, but these altered zones failed to yield any significant gold assays. Only one of the many white quartz veins returned all but background gold assays: 0.023 oz. /ton Au over 1.5 feet at 812 feet. The 0.5 ft. wide chloritic mud/fault zone at 1077 ft. is weakly conductive. A 15 ft. wide grey feldspar - quartz porphyry dyke was intersected at 1493 ft. and the hole bottomed at 1545 ft. in pillow breccia.

Feb 12, 2016 (C Salo) - Anomalously elevated told tenors are reported to occur in massive milky quartz veins which are hosted mainly by largely glacial drift covered weakly altered metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) andesite of the (Archean) Stoughton- Roquemaure Group. Reported gold assays range from trace to 0.032 ounce of gold per ton. The occurrence is spatially associated with the interpreted eastern extension of the Pipestone Fault Zone. Assays from the NAR Resources drilling returned 0.01 g/t Au and 0.1 g/t Ag
