Mineralization Comments

Jan 12, 2016 (Therese Pettigrew) - Molybdenite-bearing clastic metasediments (1833.6 m downhole). No significant assay (M2614). The hole was collared 85 feet southwest of the northwest striking contact of the Cedar Lake pluton. The only interesting mineralization encountered in the hole was intersected between 1,833.6 and 1.834.1 m, in which a sericitic siliceous unit contained minor molybdenite mineralization. No economic gold values were associated with this sulphide horizon (AFRI 42C12NW0181).
