Lithology Comments

Jan 23, 2014 (A Wilson) - The drill hole intersected a sequence of intermediate metavolcanics (tuffs, fragmentals and flows) with a thickness of 270 ft. A sequence of intermediate to felsic tuffs constitutes the remaining 144 ft of the drill hole.

Mineralization Comments

Jan 23, 2014 (D Draper) - Hole 82-2 (az. 175, dip -50) assayed 530 ppb Au over 1.67m from a unit described as ironstone in log and mineralized with 75-80% pyrite. A graphite/chert section immediately below this returned 2500ppm Zn. (T-2520) Results from later holes drilled in vicinity (NAD83 coords): Hollinger Argus hole TIS-1-1-85: Collared approx. 450m NE of 82-2 (SW ¼, N 1/2 , Lot 7, Conc. 6; N 5375489, E 479543). Assayed 0.016 oz/t Au over 1.5m. (T-2520) Moneta hole NT87-12: Collared approx. 400m SSE of 82-2 (in southwest corner of NW ¼, S 1/2, Lot 7, Conc. 6; ~N 5374910, E 479315). A map in a Moneta/Pentland J.V. report indicated an assay for this hole of 0.6 g/t Au over 10m, including 1.52m of 1.54 g/t. Log not submitted for assessment; no further data on file. (Map 4, Summary Compilation, T-4133) Moneta hole NT87-13: Collared approx. 250m NNE of 82-2 in SE ¼, N 1/2 , Lot 8, Conc. 6 (~N 5375515, E 479235). A map in a Moneta/Pentland J.V. report indicated an assay for this hole of 0.93 g/t Au over 10.3m. Log not submitted for assessment; no further data on file. (Map 4, Summary Compilation, T-4133) Moneta hole MNT-06-04: Collared approx. 230m ENE of 82-2 (SW ¼, N ½, Lot 7 Conc. 6; N 5375349, E 479366) returned 0.55 g/t Au over 0.65m @ 214.84m downhole. The sample was of a quartz-calcite vein within sheared intermediate metavolcanics. (T-5302)
