Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - Diamond-drill hole DR-88-13 intersected 0.039 oz/ton Au in the last 1.52 m of the hole. The value was not repeated in check assays and may represent a false assay or nugget effect. The diamond-drill hole ended in an intermediate metavolcanic, and no special features are noted for the assay interval.
