Mineralization Comments

Oct 09, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - Noranda’s DDH 2 assayed 8.6% Cu over 0.21 m at 288.5’ in a porphyry. DDH 1 assayed 0.02 opt Au (0.68 gpt Au) over 1.8 m at 219’ in a quartz vein (AFRI 52B10SE0137). A carbonate shear in historic claim 34421 that has been silicified and can be traced along a ridge was sampled and returned $1.40 in gold in 1949 (approximately 0.03 opt Au / 1.18 gpt Au). A small (8” wide) quartz vein in historic claim 34423 is mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite, and returned an assay of $0.35 in gold (approximately (0.009 opt Au / 0.3 gpt Au) (AFRI 52B10SE0162).
