Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The property is underlain mainly by mafic volcanic flows with a few thin interflow units of oxide facies iron formation. On the basis of pillow packing stratigraphic tops are to the south. Gold mineralization is hosted by the iron formation unit.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Gold mineralization occurs in quartz-carbonate stringers in brecciated iron formation. Geophysics indicate that 9 conductive anomalies were delineated on the property by ground methods, and that they probably represent units of iron formation. Of the drilling, hole #G-82-9A returned a weighted average of 0.08 opt Au/0.9 m. The same hole returned zinc values of 0.11% and 0.16% over narrow widths.
