Mineralization Comments

Jan 12, 2023 (Q Unknown) - Diamond drilling by Rosario Resources in 1980 resulted in drilling of DDH T80-8 which intersected anomalous gold values averaging 600 ppb Au / 9 feet (2.74 metres). These values were hosted by a spinifex-textured komatiite flow in a narrow interval that contained minor pyrite + a few narrow talc carbonate veins in the 442-456 ft section.
