To date, gold bearing mineralization has been identified over 2 km of strike length with the Red Cliff zone to the south and the Montrose zone to the north. The Montrose, Lower Montrose and Waterpump zones are considered to be one zone that has been displaced by faulting. Also, within the Montrose zone, faulting appears to have resulted in repeat sections of mineralization. As well, there appears to be a wide mineralized splay that strikes SW from the main Montrose zone, resulting in wide target areas that are gold bearing over 50 m of width. From the Waterpump zone to the north end of the identified Montrose zone, mineralization extends to over 600 m of strike length and at least 600 m of depth and is open along strike and depth. It extends from the ridge top hosting the Montrose zone at 725 m elevation to 125m elevation as shown by DDDH-12-11. Width of the gold bearing zone varies from 5 to 40 m with an average of 22 m.

The Company plans to continue drilling to test several areas prior to completion of the program: Drilling will include:
  • At least 6-8 holes on the Waterpump zone.
  • Several holes to the west of the main Montrose zone, checking the indicated splay.
  • Continued deep holes beneath the main Montrose zone.
Drilling will continue for the next 6 weeks as elevations are low and abundant water is available for drilling.

Samples for the 2017 exploration program are cut in half with a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags and shipped to ActLabs in Kamloops, B.C., for sample preparation and for gold and multielement ICP analysis. A quality control/quality assurance program, including the insertion of standards and blanks, has been implemented.
