Lithology Comments

Jan 19, 2016 (D Guidon) - Based only on the information provided on a drill section. No log appears to have been filed for assessment work. The best intersection of 0.52 g/t Au over an unknown interval is hosted by mafic volcanic rocks.


Jan 19, 2016 (A Wilson) - The lower portion of DDH2 passed through the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone.




Mineralization Comments

Jan 19, 2016 (A Wilson) - The best assays returned from this drill hole were 0.015 oz/t Au and 0.52 oz/t Au over an unknown footage and 0.018 oz/t Au over 2.5 ft. (261-263.5 ft.). No assays were reported from DDH 90-1. Assays from the Asarco OVD program returned assays up to 1150 ppm Au. Low values of Cu, Ni, Zn also were encountered.
