Aug 21, 2015 (A Wilson) - A series of small rock outcrops occur in the south central part of the property. These were originally mapped as chlorite schist. The schist dips vertically, strikes N70E and the zone is approximately 400 ft in width. Massive gabbro outcrops to the south of the chlorite schist. The Texmont Zone strikes east-northeast and dips about 75º to the north, parallel to the stratigraphy. A 120 m strike length extending to a vertical depth of 150 m has been outlined for the deposit. A westward plunge for the zone has been inferred. DDH T-91-8 encountered the deposit at a depth of 360 m, exhibiting a down plunge continuation of the zone to at least that depth.

Aug 21, 2015 (A Wilson) - Gold is associated with zones of silicification in the rhyolite tuff containing marcasite, pyrite and graphite. The mineralization averaged 0.22 oz./t Au. Gold is associated with fine grained arsenopyrite, which occurs as halos surrounding dark grey quartz veins. Assays from the Texmont Mines diamond drilling returned values ranging from nil to 0.01 oz/t Au over 5 ft. In DDH69-TA-8, gold values ranged from nil to 0.04 oz./t Au over 5 feet. Nickel values in the same drill hole returned values up to 0.14% Ni over 5 feet. Nickel was only assayed for between 700 and 864 feet. Assays for cobalt and copper returned trace values. Assays from the Cyprus Gold drilling returned assays ranging from 1.07 g/t Au over 1.5 m in a graphitic horizon, to 4.77 g/t Au over 6.05 m within a sequence of intermediate flows.
