Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The veins are most likely the same vein that are exposed in three separate locations. The showing consists of weathered ,pyrite-bearing, sheared mafic metavolcanic rocks hosting a quartz vein. The vein consists of quartz cementing brecciated greenstone. The zone is 3-10 ft wide and can be traced for 1500 ft.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - A grab sample from the quartz vein returned 12.2% Zn, 0.87% Pb and 0.06% Cu (1979). The best gold assay from the vein was 0.35 oz/t Au, 0.22 oz/t Ag and 6.66% Zn (1943). Chip samples over a sulphide zone returned 0.35 oz/t Au, 0.22 oz/t Ag and 6.66% Zn over 8 feet (1959). Samples from the 1996 drilling returned 3.0% to 8.0% Zn.
