Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - 2 holes drilled 60ft apart (DH #3 and #4), striking south, totalling 264 feet. Both logs reported similar lithologies [Q]: --Calcite granites --Calcite-quartz fine grained with sulphides [assayed] --White quartz and spars--calcite stringers [Hole 4 only] --Porous soft calcite seams [assayed] --Hard granites with sulphides --Basalt lavas ( +/- sulphides) --Greenstone.




Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - 2 zones in each hole assayed 0.5% nickel (see Lithology comments): Hole 3 at 38 - 70ft and 70 - 82ft; Hole 4 at 25 - 55ft and 65 - 75ft. In addition, an assay of the basalt lavas in Hole 4 (123 - 124ft) returned 0.5% copper and 0.05% cobalt. Hole #6, drilled 1200ft to the southeast along the lakeshore, also returned an assay of 0.05% cobalt from basalt lava zone encountered from 10 - 12ft.
