Apr 03, 2009 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of medium-grained gabbro and medium-grained pyroxenite. Minor chloritic and serpentinizate alteration was observed in the drill hole. The very top of the drill hole intersected mineralized boulders displaying olivine cumulate in intercumulose sulphide. The mineralized zone has been traced for approximately 150 m below surface. Gold mineralization occurs within a sheared and silicified granodiorite as a stockwork of low-angle quartz stringers associated with disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite.

Dec 04, 2018 (A Wilson) - The best assay returned 2100 ppm Cu and 1100 ppm Ni over 4 ft; other assays from the same drill hole ranged from 775 ppm to 1900 ppm Ni and 600 to 1500 ppm Cu. Drill hole B-3-72 returned assays ranging from 0.30% Cu to 0.32% Cu and 0.13 to 0.52% Ni (T-0016).
Dec 04, 2018 (P Bousquet) - Diamond drilling by Amador in 2008 intersected 6.37 g/t Au over 8.55 m from 383.25 to 391.80 m (drill hole LL08-13). This drill hole also returned anomalous Cu-Ni mineralization within gabbro in its upper portion. The gold-bearing zone lies below the Cu-Ni-bearing zone. Grab samples collected on surface in 2008 returned 8.98 g/t Au and 11.48 g/t Au (T-5949).
