Mineralization Comments

Jul 21, 2008 (D Draper) - Three samples of core from this hole were assayed for gold. The assays indicated on the original hand-written log are contradictory, showing both trace results for all samples and yet also listing Au values of 0.09, 0.10, and 0.07. No unit data is given, but if the latter quantities are ounces per ton, then this drillhole would rate as a gold occurrence. (T-1279) Due to this uncertainty in the data available, this hole remains rated as a discretionary occurrence only.
