Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Elevated gold values are returned from sheared sericite and carbonate altered hypabyssal intrusives (porphyry) containing quartz stringers and veinlets. The Big Lake hypabyssal intrusion has a maximum width of 0.8 km at Big Lake and may have a strike length of approximately 2.4 km. The intrusion is texturally and compositionall homogeneous and has undergone pervasive sausseritization.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - A grab sample of sheared sericite and carbonate altered porphyry returned an assay of 8.64 g/t Au. A second check assay returned 8.86 g/t Au. An adjacent sample 1987 returned 5.05 g/t Au and a check sample of 5.28 g/t Au from a grab sample. Band-Ore drillhole CB-04-6 returned a best assay of 0.7 g/t Au over 2.6 m.
