Nov 21, 2014 (A Wilson) - The hole was predominantly represented by weakly to moderately foliated gabbro and moderately to well foliated amphibolide equivalents transected by minor granodiorite, felsic dykes and quartz veins. The gabbros ranged in composition from gabbro to leucogabbro to anorthositic gabbro. Felsic to intermediate metavolcanics, commonly massive to weakly foliated schists and gneisses, exhibited locally intense alteration with secondary chlorite, biotite and anthophyllite with minor garnet associated with base metal mineralization.

Nov 21, 2014 (A Wilson) - The best assays from DDH 19-7 returned 1.61% Cu, 0.18% Zn, 2.45 oz/t Ag and 0.02 oz/t Au over 3.2 ft. Several other drill intersections returned assays up to 1.61%cu, 6.33% Zn and 2.45 oz/t Ag over 9 ft. A drill hole completed in 2002 returned assays of 15.9% Zn, 0.035% Cu over 0.75m and drill holes completed in 2004 returned assays of 1.18% Zn, 0.81% Cu and 26.g/t Ag over 1.3 m. Drill intersections included 6.33% Zn and 1.50% Cu over 3.35 metres in the Dixie 19 Zone. The Dixie 19 Zone is coincident with the second Titan-24 target. Mineralization in the Dixie 19 Zone has been identified by drilling over a 500 metre strike length to a depth of 225 metres and ranged in thickness from < 1 metre to >30 metres.
