Apr 17, 2009 (D Draper) - Drillholes #2 and #3 by Hollinger were co-collared on G. Sweet's No. 2 (or eastern) showing. Hole 2 returned assays of 0.25% Cu and 0.15% Ni over 2 ft and Hole 3 returned 0.20% Cu and 0.09% Ni over 3 ft. Grab sample of a pyrrhotite lens at surface reportedly returned an assay of 0.47% Ni. (AR Vol 40-3, p. 37) A sample taken in 2006 from a trench in the vicinity of DH 2 returned 4652ppm Cu, 3318ppm Ni and 853ppm Co. (OFR 6203, p. 61)
Apr 17, 2009 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling by G. Sweet in 1930 returned assays of 0.25% Cu and 0.15% Ni over 3 ft and 0.20% Cu and 0.09% Ni over 3 ft. Grab samples reportedly returned assays up to 0.47% Ni.
