Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - 5 - 4 to 10 cm specimens of core from hole 64-5 were submitted to the Timmins District Diamond Drill Core Library. These samples indicate that the hole intersected a brecciated quartz phyric felsic volcanic rock with a black chlorite matrix and the passed into either a fine spinifex-textured komatiite or fine-grained mafic intrusive before reurning to felsic volcanic rock. One of the sample contained less than 1% disseminated pyrite.

Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - Several holes intersected sulphides in mafic and felsic metavolcanic rocks some of which are anomalous in Zn and Ag. Hole 64-5 was the only hole to intersect occurrence grade mineralization and reported an assay of 0.61% Zn, 0.03% Cu, 0.04% Ni and 0.54 opt Ag over 2.5 ft. in rock logged as quartzite.
Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - Black Chlorite is present as matric to brecciated felsic metavolcanic.
