Mineralization Comments

Jan 12, 2023 (Q Unknown) - A diamond drill hole by Keevil Mining Corp in 1969 intersected a gold value of 0.12 oz/ton Au / 2.3 feet (289.5-291.8 feet). This value was contained in a quartz vein hosted by interbedded greywackes and argillites. A second interval of weak gold values was intersected further down-hole and returned a weighted average grade of 0.019 oz/ton Au / 8.6 feet (414.7-423.3 feet). This interval is described to contain 60% quartz in veins to 18 inches, and is hosted by a greyish banded section of Tuff.
