Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - Martel Hole No. 1, drilled vertically to depth of 64ft, intersected alternating units of hornblende granite and hornblende quartz gneiss. Log describes the gneiss as medium to coarse grained, white to black, foliated and banded at 70 deg, with altered biotite. (AF T-22) [Lithological description entered under Author: Unknown is for surface outcrop.].
Dec 07, 2005 (Q Unknown) - The rocks consist of interbanded amphibolites and biotite, hornblende gneisses with minor biotite, hornblende, pyroxene marbles.

Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - Assays of the weakly mineralized gneiss (pyrrhotite, 20 - 25% sulphide) at the bottom of Hole No. 1 returned up to 0.03% for both copper and nickel. Best assays in any of the 4 holes drilled on the property did not exceed 0.003% cobalt, <0.05% zinc. (AF T-22) Mineralization was discontinuously exposed over a distance of 300ft by stripping at surface with the sulphides being erratically distributed within the amphibolite bands. The marble is composed of 70 to 75% calcite and was classed as almandine-amphibolite facies by the results of optical and X-ray mineralogy. It's presence was considered noteworthy as its occurrence is unique within the 13,400 sq. miles covered by Operation Chapleau geological compilation project. (GR 157, p.244).
Dec 07, 2005 (Q Unknown) - The mineralization consists of erratically distributed disseminated to massive pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite.
