Mineralization Comments

Aug 15, 2014 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected iron formation that returned an assay of 0.11% Cu over 5 ft.


Aug 15, 2014 (P Bousquet) - Diamond drilling intersected 6 ft of dacite which returned an assay of 0.15% Cu (T-692). It intersected 0.01 oz/t gold over 5 ft at the contact between the dacite and the iron formation, represented by massive pyrite, pyrrhotite and magnetite at the roofwall of the iron formation. On the footwall of the iron formation, it intersected 5 ft with an assay of 0.01 oz/t.
