Drill holes SJ01 and SJ03 have been completed – each drill hole successfully intersected skarn mineralizationwith sulfide minerals, based on field quick logs (Figure 1: Field Log Summary). Both exoskarn and endoskarn mineralization were observed. The sulfide minerals observed were dominantly pyrite, with very fine grained dark sulfide minerals, which appear to be sphalerite and galena in some cases. Chalcopyrite was locally observed. Assay results are not yet available. The first batch of samples for assay will be shipped in a few days
