Mineralization Comments

Dec 16, 2010 (P Bousquet) - Hole P1-8 (az. 180, dip -55) intersected pale grey, hard, porphyritic andesite?(sic), with scattered cream tabular feldspars. Some intersection of this andesite? showed 0.26% Ni assay over one foot (347.0-348.0) with over 90% pyrrhotite (core log estimate, T-1910), and 0.69% Cu and 0.22% Ni assays over one foot (349.0-350.0) with over 60% pyrrhotite (core log estimate, T-1910).
