RE: RE: Sooty black streaks and carbonatesOf the carbonate assays shown, there are ~71ft not shown. How much of the missing intervals are being assayed is unknown.

It appears that the carbonates are reasonably wide (at least approximately 90 FT) and that calcium carbonate becomes more prevalent with depth. Whether the carbonate unit discovered will become predominately calcic (calcium carbonate or limestone) can only be determined with further drilling. The width of the carbonate unit may be larger than indicated, and this may be determined as more carbonate assays are obtained for the missing intervals in the above table as well as for adjacent intervals.
