Jun 23, 2023 (Therese Pettigrew) - The south part of the Property is generally underlain with intermediate to locally felsic pyroclastic volcanics. Diamond drilling by Mattagami/Noranda in the 1980s outlined the No. 4 Zone within a quartz-carbonate veined shear zone cutting these volcanic rocks. The No. 4 Zone lies approximately 800 m southwest of the Band-Ore Main Zone and does not outcrop due to glacial till cover. Drilling in 1981 and 1982 led to the delineation of three sub-parallel zones, the Telluride, Upper and Lower Zones. The No. 4 Zone is hosted by sheared and altered, vertical to north dipping felsic to intermediate pyroclastic metavolcanics. All mineralized zones exhibit some degree of silicification, quartz veining or quartz stockwork and are associated with disseminated pyrite (locally up to 3 to 5%). Ankerite alteration is abundant and forms a broad halo around the gold bearing zones. Various types of quartz veins are associated with all three of the mineralized subzones, including: 1) competent beige to creamy white quartz, containing banded pyrite mineralization but generally low silver and gold values. 2) competent bluish grey to grey pyritiferous quartz, generally contains the best gold values. 3) light greenish-grey veins- not common, competent and carry good gold values. 4) narrow, weakly mineralized white quartz veins (<1 cm in thickness) and contain good values The No. 4 zone anomaly was tested over a strike length of 500 m and to a vertical depth of 200 m (Bellinger, 1992). The Telluride Zone was intersected in two holes and averaged 0.23 oz/ton gold and 0.22 oz/ton silver over a true width of 2.0 m. The Upper Zone was intersected in 12 drill holes over a strike length of 500 m. Six of the holes intersected grades lower than 0.07 oz/ton gold while the most significant intersection was 0.469 oz/ton gold and 0.85 oz/ton silver over 2.0 m. The Lower Zone was intersected in 19 holes over a strike length of 500 m with fifteen of the holes having grades higher than 0.07 oz/ton gold over 2.0 m. The remaining four holes returned values ranging from 0.185 to 0.444 oz/ton gold over true widths ranging from 2.0 to 7.19 m (Trinder, 2021). DDH BO-22-07 returned 0.53 g/t Au over 56 m including 3.16 g/t Au over 1 m from 176 m depth and 5.6 g/t Au over 0.9 m from 183.9 m depth (E2Gold Inc. news release, January 16, 2023).
