Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Trench sampling completed by International Bibis returned assays of 0.42% Cu over 10 ft; 0.50% Cu over 5 ft; 0.51% Cu over 13 ft; 2.01% Cu over 5 ft. Significant diamond drill intersections include: 0.91% Cu over 10 ft; 2.3% Cu over 5 ft; 1.12% Cu over 20 ft; 1.15% Cu over 10.5 ft; 4.02% Cu, 0.24 oz/t Ag, 0.01 oz/t Au over 3 ft. Grab samples collected by the OGS in 1968 returned values ranging from trace to 0.59% Cu. One sample yielded 5.58% Cu and 0.66 oz/t Ag. Grab samples collected by Villeneuve Resources Ltd. in the vicinity returned values ranging from 0.76% Cu to 2.98% Cu.
Oct 26, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - Samples 522359 and 522360 returned 4.28 and 3.39% Cu from fine-grained mafic volcanics with chalcopyrite (Assessment report 20000006047).

Geologist: A Wilson
Notes: The mineralized zone is 3 to 4.5 m wide, at least 120 m long, and strikes about N60W with a steep dip to the north. The mineralizaetion consists of seams and disseminated grains of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and possibley bornite and sphalerite distributed irregularly in thighly sheared, silicified, and carbonatized mafic metavolcanics. Felsic metavolcanics lie a few fieet to the north of the mineralized zone and may in part be in fault contact with the mafic metavolcanics. Dikes sills and veins of granitic rocks have intruded th eadjacent rocks.
