Point Location Description: centre of leased claim P51071
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Access to the property is attained by heading due south of Timmins along Pine Street for 32 km. At this point the property is accessed by travelling west along a major logging haul road for 7.3 km. where the Splitrock Lake logging road is intersected. From this intersection one travels northwesterly for 0.6 km. along the Splitrock road to intersect the southern boundary of the property. At this point various portions of the property can be accessed via a network of new logging roads heading north/northwest. (T-3806)

Sep 08, 2014 (D Draper) - Sulphides are intimately associated with crosscutting fractures and quartz-carbonate micro-veins. Samples from Hollinger drillhole F-21 that were re-analyzed by Falconbridge assayed up to 3.9% Cu over 28.5 m. Hollinger hole F-1-50-71, collared approximately 275m north of the main zone in patent P55174, returned 4230 ppm and 5490 ppm Cu in quartz-diorite. The McArthur Minerals - Moneta Porcupine J.V. drilled 12 holes on the occurrence, 8 of which intersected the Main Zone. The average grade over these holes was 4.39% Cu and 10.6 g/t Ag. Hole MAC-96-3 intersected a 7.35m zone assaying up to 7.87% Cu and included a 0.8m section assaying 19.76% Cu and 37.8 g/t Ag. Other significant assays obtained were from holes MAC-97-11 and MAC-97-15, both collared within 20m of MAC-96-3. MAC-97-11 intersected a 2.95m section of the sulphide zone mineralized with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite which assayed up to 17.53% Cu, 40.8 ppm Ag, 2.18% Zn, 1.5% Pb and 370 ppm Co. A 1.3m sample from MAC-97-15 returned 356 ppb Au and 0.0598% Mo.
Sep 08, 2014 (D Draper) - Alteration on the property is restricted to retrograde effects and greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism.
