Mineralization Comments

Dec 04, 2015 (A Wilson) - The best assays were recovered from the diorite. The assays in DDH QS-79 ranged from 0.014 oz./t Au over 2.5 ft. to 0.119 oz./t Au over 5 ft. Additional assays from this hole returned values of 0.059 oz/t Au over 15 ft. in diorite; 0.027 oz/t Au over 15 ft. in ultramafics 0.066 oz./t Au over 1 ft. in carbonate-altered mafic metavolcanics. DDH QS-82 returned an assay of 0.024 oz./t Au over 1 ft. and 0.18 oz./t Au over 5 ft. The best reported assay was 0.119 oz./t over 1.5 m.
