previous drilling on Catharine
Finished going through the several previous drilling programs ( 1980 - 2009) at Catharine. Complicated! - but two points are critical . You must have Fuchsite ( green iron carbonate/ fuchsite schists) and anywhere from 1 - 20% pyrite ( sulphides) .The more the better. Second - you must follow the IP geophysics. This somewhat worked in pevious programs . Finally the ammended 43-101 report suggested lack of complete assaying . Large important geological sequences were ignored . Case in point - large tracts of Fuchsite / chloritic schists that are known to carry significant gold. ie. Hole Cat 09 -01 - 76.1m , Cat 09 -11 - 27.35m and Cat 09-13 - 21.55m were not assayed . Hopefully the company will assay similar rock assemblages if encountered! There was the potential to have missed significant gold mineralization in the past. Also need a map showing the locations of previous drilling programs with the current drilling program! That would really help.
Otherwise waiting for more news - it is just beginning Cheers

If you look at the Vertical Gradient Map, there is a short, flanking, high intensity magnetic anomaly that is located on or very close to the EW fault, where the 72 inch wide quartz vein is located. It's located about 400m east of Target D. It's also located on or near the contact with gabbro/basalt.
