Feb 11, 2016 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling by Maude Lake Gold Mines Ltd. returned best assays of 0.01 oz./t Au over 2.5 ft. in a quartz vein.
Feb 11, 2016 (C Salo) - Diamond drill logs describe anomalously auriferous gold tenors to occur within: ...buff colored basalt with weak sericite-carbonate alteration, occasional pillow foliation at 50 degrees, with several calcite veins... The best reported gold assay was from a 4 foot core section; this averaged 0.032 oz./t Au.
