RE: drilling results here it is....Summary of Diamond Drilling
Six “NQ” Size diamond drillholes were completed in the 2010 field season to a total depth of 800 meters. Drilling was contracted to Kluane Drilling Ltd. of Whitehorse.
A significant increase in exploration in the Dawson Range during the 2010 field season stretched the capacity of analytical labs to the limit and assay results from the Ten Mile Creek Gold Project typically took from six to eight weeks to receive. An operational decision was made in late September to terminate drilling at Ten Mile Creek after DDH2010-06 to allow the assay results from the analytical laboratories to catch up to the drill program.
While highly prospective targets remained undrilled the Company believed it was prudent to have the results of the early diamond drill holes in hand prior to committing to further drilling as targeting decisions are to a large extent dependant on previous results.
DDH2010-1 thru DDH2010-3 were drilled on the southernmost Ten claim group to test the Klondike Kate soil geochemical anomaly which returned gold values as high as 697 ppb in a linear east-west anomaly 1600 meters in extent.
DDH2010-01 Azimuth 1800, Dip -500, Length 125 meters.
Mineralization was in the form of pyrite and arsenopyrite. The sulphides were concentrated along fractures, and not more than 1 % to 2 % in volume. Anomalous (> 50ppb) gold values were obtained from four samples, the highest being 119 ppb, whereas anomalous (>100 ppm) Arsenic values were obtained from 17 samples, the highest being 1046 ppm. Gold was found to be strongly correlative with arsenic.
DDH2010-02 Azimuth 2250, Dip -500, Length 175 meters.
This hole was drilled 700 meters west of DDH2010-01 and encountered mineralization in the form of pyrite and arsenopyrite. Minor chalcopyrite was seen as fracture filling. Anomalous gold values were returned from five samples, the highest being 149 ppb gold. Anomalous arsenic values were received from 34 samples, the highest being 2007 ppm.
DDH2010-03 Azimuth 1800, Dip -500, Length 125 meters.
This hole was drilled from the same pad as hole DDH2010-02 and selectively sampled. Anomalous gold was determined in four samples, the highest being 159 ppb. Anomalous arsenic values were received from 12 samples, the highest being 3900 ppm once again correlative with the highest gold value. The highest gold and arsenic value were coincident with faulting observed in the core.
DDH2010-4 thru DDH2010-6 were drilled on the newly discovered Skukum Zone on the JV claim group as the geochemical results returned from the analytical laboratory late in the field season.
DDH2010-04 Azimuth 1700, Dip -500, Length 125m.
Anomalous gold values were returned from 35 samples, the highest being 632 ppb. Anomalous Arsenic values were returned from 28 samples, the highest being 1757 ppm but not correlative with the higher gold values. Gold was seen to be associated with more intense limonitic quartz and carbonate filled fractures crosscutting foliation.
| DDH2010-04 | Length (m) | Grade g/t Au |
| From (m) | To (m) | | |
| 9.0 | 23.0 | 14.0 | 0.19 g/t |
| 40.0 | 48.0 | 8.0 | 0.22 g/t
(including 2.0 m @ 0.63 g/t from 44.0 to 46.0 m ) |
DDH2010-05 Azimuth 3500, Dip -500, Length 125m.
This hole was drilled from the same pad as DDH2010-04. Anomalous gold values were returned from 34 samples, the highest being 878 ppb (0.88 g/t). Anomalous arsenic values were returned from 20 samples, the highest being 3,336 ppm. Gold was seen to be associated with more intense limonitic quartz and carbonate filled fractures crosscutting foliation.
| DDH2010-05 | Length (m) | Grade g/t Au |
| From (m) | To (m) | | |
| 5.0 | 16.0 | 11.0 | 0.39 g/t
including 2.0 m @ 0.70 g/t from 9.0 to 11.0 m |
| 31.0 | 53.0 | 22.0 | 0.40 g/t
including 2.0 m @ 0.88 g/t from 33.0 to 35.0 m |
DDH2010-06 Azimuth 3400, Dip -500, Length 125m.
This hole was drilled approximately 100 meters west of DDH2010-04 and DDH2010-05 and returned anomalous gold values from 10 samples, the highest being 246 ppb. Anomalous Arsenic values were returned from 13 samples, the highest being 267 ppm which was coincident with the highest gold value.
