Jul 07, 2006 (D Draper) - Ghislau drillhole B-2 (drilled to 604ft, bearing Az 090deg, dipping -45 deg) intersected serpentinized peridotite and gabbro. Log provides very little sulphide mineralization detail, referring only to a brassy mineral. Two 5-foot samples, taken at 141.5 ft and 199 ft, returned 0.22% and 0.29% Ni respectively. Hole B-3 was collared 900ft (274m) due east of B-2, bearing Az 270, also dipping -45 deg., and intersected serpentinized peridotite for almost the entirety of the hole. Two 4-foot samples, at 70.5ft and 404.5ft, returned 0.23% and 0.21% Ni. Sulphide mineralization is reported as pyrite and millerite. Scattered seams of asbestos fibre up to 1/8 in. wide were noted in the upper half of the hole.
