Mineralization Comments

Jan 19, 2016 (A Wilson) - The sludge assays revealed a positive build-up in gold for the full length of the footwall rocks below the Destor Porcupine fault zone; one sludge assay of 0. 35 oz/10 ft. signified a cause. A re-examination of the core revealed visible gold in a 3-ft. section of broken core; the gold is quite visible as splashes and fine disseminations. There is no visually apparent additional alteration of the core at this location. There is minor shearing and barren quartz veining but no association with the gold was detected. With Asarco's equipment and assistance, 13 ft. of core (356-369 ft. ) was halved with a diamond saw and divided into four samples. Of these, only the one with considerable visible gold showed any build-up in gold; this sample from 356-358 assayed 4. 66 oz (the average of two assays. - 4. 632 oz. and 4. 682 oz.). The other half of this sawn core is available for inspection and certainly does not lack the presence of visible gold. The 3 ft. of broken core was reduced to 2-ft. width. Sample 12833 356-358 feet, assayed 158.81 g/t Au - Check 160.87 g/t Au. In drill hole, 94-3 immediately below the main D- P. F. Z. was a very distinctive unit, - massive, fine grained, uniform, light pinkish-buff colour, rare hairline qtz. strs. , 75% quartz. grains, 20% felspar plus chlorite, 5 %disseminated pyrite, and 1-2% arsenopyrite. It is 11. 75 ft. wide and from 283. 5 - 295. 2 in the hole; its contacts are sharp and 60º to 80º to core axis. It assayed: 283. 5-285. 5ft – 0.055 oz./2 ft., 290.5 ft 0.131 oz./t over 5 ft. and 295.2 ft 0.020 oz/t over 5 ft. Elevated gold values were found in almost all of the drill holes completed in 1994.

Geologist: D Guidon

Notes: In July 1993, G. Meyer and D. Guindon were invited to view drill core from a diamond-drill hole that had penetrated partially through the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone (DPFZ) in Carr Township (UTM Zone 17, 539300E 5378350N). The diamond drilling was conducted as part of an OPAP-supported drill program by prospector G.E. Parsons. The core examined was from diamond drill hole 92-1 collared 1000 feet east and 400 feet south of the northwest comer of the south half of Lot 4, Concession 2. The hole was drilled at -70? on a due north azimuth. Based on the intersection of a second hole to the north, the DPFZ has an apparent dip of 47? to the south in this area. Hole 93-1 was drilled 450 feet west and 200 feet north of DDH 92-1. The geology of the hole, as logged by Parsons and observed by the authors, (272 feet to the end of the hole) is as follows: above the fault zone, the core is composed of either fine grain andesite (possibly magnesium-rich, tholeiitic basalt) or diorite porphyry composed of small white feldspar phenocrysts and greenish black hornblende phenocrysts in a fine green-grey matrix. The fault zone begins abruptly with the development of shearing, a strong foliation and quartz-healed brecciation. The fault zone comprises brecciated, purplish siliceous zones containing up to 2% fine grain subhedral disseminated pyrite and Kerr-type 'green-carbonate' rock, alternately banded with chlorite bands or a quartz-healed breccia. The bottom of the hole, still within the fault zone, consists of talc-chlorite schist cut by a foliated dark red-brown syenite dike.
