Apr 30, 2014 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected 4 to 5 ft sections that returned assay values ranging from 0.10 oz/t Ag to 0.22 oz/t Ag, tr to 0.01% Cu and 0.03 to 0.04% Ni. Elevated nickel and silver values were encountered over narrow widths between 205 and 217 ft. B.A. Haavaldsrud drilled a single hole approximately 400 feet east of the Algoma Ore drill hole and intersected 0.03 oz/t Ag over 2 feet and 0.02 oz/t Ag over 1 foot. The drill log indicates that the rock type is a diorite.
