Mineralization Comments

May 26, 2014 (A Wilson) - The best assays obtained by Stenabaugh et al returned values ranging from tr to 0.4.0 oz/t Au over widths of 2 or 3 feet. A grab sample collected by CPR returned an assay of tr Au and 0.12 oz/t Ag over 80 inches. CPR also tested samples for nickel, 4 samples yielded an average Ni value of 0.031% over 21 ft. A single selected sample returned tr Ag and 0.042% Ni. A grab sample collected by Halverson in 1999 returned a best assay of 1091 ppb Au.
