Mineralization Comments

Feb 23, 2014 (Syed Ali) - Drill Hole No. 4, which was completed by canamer mining corp. intersected assays which ranged between 0.16 and 0.32 oz Au/t across 14.7 feet. Drill hole No.1 intersected 2 sections which assayed 0.16 oz Au/t across 2.1 feet and 0.56 oz Au/t across 1.4 feet. Silver values as high as 0.36 oz Ag/t were also intersected. A grab sample taken from teh large sulphide pod at the Main showing by B.T Atkinson assayed 0.15 oz Au/t, 0.11 oz Ag/t and 5.5 ppm As. A sample from the sulphidized iron formation adjacent to a quartz vein assayed 0.50 oz Au/t, 0.34 oz Ag/t and 20 ppm As. A grab sample of barren iron formation analyzed 24 ppb Au and 49 ppm As.


Aug 11, 2023 (Therese Pettigrew) - Sampling by First Mining Gold returned 15.3 g/t Au from Sample B1055078 (First Mining Gold news release January 17, 2023).
