Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The best assay was obtained by Dickenson Mines in a drill hole. Between 55.5 feet and 60.2 feet returned 3.56% Cu over 1.7 feet. The main showing consists of about 80% chalcopyrite and pyrite. The best assay returned from the diamond drilling conducted by Acme Oil and Gas was 0.2% Cu. Gold values of between 0.5 to 1.6 g/t Au were obtained from grab samples taken by Corona in 1989. The best gold values are associated with massive sulphides. Gold values range from 438 to 398 ppb in quartz-carbonate veins to the southwest of the main showing.
