RE:RE:RE:RE:Get ready Secova will find more then 6 hundred thousand Tres-Or 2011 drill program at the Duvay Zone Principal
Tres-Or drilled 13 holes totaling 1234.5 m length at Duvay in January and February, 2011 (Fig. 20) within the Zone Principal. The holes tested interpreted fault structures and mapped shear zones. Two holes were drilled from the same set-up for most of the holes (Fig. 21). Each set-up was drilled as a 75 m vertical hole, and a (planned) 125 m hole inclined at 45 degrees to the horizontal (Figure 21 and Table 9). The first drill hole (DV001-11) was lost at 48 m when the drill string dropped into old underground workings (reports filed with the government describe a shaft and 300 m of underground galleries from the 1940s). Other angled holes varied slightly from the planned 125 m lengths. The final hole (DV013-11) was drilled next to DV001-11 at 65 degree inclination to test beneath the old underground workings. Drilling used diamond bits to recover NQ (49 mm diameter) core for each hole. Drilling was done by Sementiou Inc. under contract to Tres-Or.
The drill holes intersected greenstone volcanic logged as andesite, basaltic andesite and basalt based on visual characteristics. The basalt is medium to

dark green, locally pillowed, and rarely exhibiting flow breccias texture (Fig. 22).
The andesite is yellow-brown, silicified and intensely sheared locally (Fig. 23).
Basaltic andesite is intermediate between andesite and basalt characteristics.

Drill holes DV009-11 and DV0010-11 on the western side of the tested area intersected gabbro, and DV009-11 also intersected peridotite, in addition to andesite and basalt.
Figure 22: The best interval (83.2 g/t Au over 1 m) from Tres-Or’s 2011 drill program, with visible gold occurring in a white quartz vein, within the dark green (wet) basalt.
White quartz veins are abundant at the surface at Duvay, occurring as sub-horizontal planes, and in vertical (north-south) extensional fractures. In drill core, the white quartz veins comprise 0.75 to 3.4% of the drill core. Many of these veins are sub-horizontal planes (90 degrees to core axis in vertical holes). DV001-11, which was lost in the old underground workings, had the highest (3.4%) proportion of white quartz veins.

Figure 23. The second best drill interval from Tres-Or’s 2011 drill program, occurring within the yellowish-brown andesite.
Analytical results include 83.194 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 1 m from drill hole DV-012-11; 5.217 g/t Au over 1 m from drill hole DV-008-11; and 8 other intervals between 0.420 g/t Au and 1.930 g/t Au, from intervals between 1 and 7 m (Table 10). The reference core half of the high value sample of 83.194 g/t Au from the vertical drill hole DV012-11 was checked after receipt of the results, and observed to contain a sub-horizontal 0.5 m white quartz vein with visible gold.

True thickness of the other intervals cannot be determined at this early stage of
drilling due in part to the structural complexity of the shear zone.
The drill results, especially the 1 m interval of 83.194 g/t Au with visible gold
support Duvay’s reputation as a nugget gold occurrence, which extends back to
government reports from the 1940s.
All historical drill hole locations and orientations on the Duvay-Chenier Property
have been compiled in Table 11, based on reports filed with the Quebec
government.
