Jun 02, 2006 (D Draper) - In Mespi drillhole C-1 a 6-foot section of andesite, noted as showing considerable alteration, amphibolization and chloritization, occurs between granitic porphyry intrusions and is mineralized with minor po and cpy. Assays averaged 0.32% Cu over this section, with the highest assay being 0.67% Cu and 0.01% Ni over 2.4ft. (T-875). Noranda's drilling near C-1 recorded po, cpy and py mineralization in 3 holes but no assay results were reported.
