Oct 10, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - The host rocks for the pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization are dark basaltic ultrabasic-like rocks. In Trenches 1 through 5, the dark ultrabasic-like sulphide-bearing host rock intrudes an andesite and andesite breccia (AFRI 52F05SE0506).

Oct 10, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - Mineralization found in the trenches from the 1952 program included chalcopyrite and pyrite. Chip samples returned from 0.59% to 2.16% Cu over 1.5 m. Best intersection from the 1956 drill program returned 0.60% Cu over 4.6 m. Mineralization included chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. Grab samples from the 1988 sampling program assayed up to 2.55% Cu. Chip samples returned 2.74% Cu over 3 m.
Oct 10, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Caliban’s Trench 4 returned an assay of 12001 ppm Cu. Trench 3 returned an assay of 2.55% Cu and 2250 ppb Au. Trench 2 returned an assay of 0.67% Cu. Trench 1 returned an assay from a chip sample of 2.74% Cu and selected samples with assays from 1030-3990 ppb Au. Copper is the major mineral with subordinate amounts of nickel and gold (AFRI 52F05SE0506).
