Aug 10, 2015 (A Wilson) - One outcropping area in the middle of anomaly No.2 is composed of an alkaline pyroxenite and a gabbro, both of which were sampled for age determinations. The sample taken from the outcrop of pyroxenite contained up to 0.5 % disseminated chalcopyrite

Aug 10, 2015 (A Wilson) - Disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite was observed in an outcrop of gabbro. The sample contained 0.2% Cu, 0.1 to 0.2% Ni and 2% Ti. A Davis tube test of the sample yielded 12.51% magnetite concentrate, which on analysisis contained 11.20% TiO2. The best assays from the drilling include, 0.31% Cu and 0.07% Ni over 4 ft in pyroxenite (DDH 1). Assays from DDH-2 returned 0.24% Cu over 5 ft and 0.27% Cu, 0.11%Ni over 3.2 ft., also in pyroxenite
