Message: mineralized diorite

Look at the area around the A-7 swarm, the blue, yellow black triangles, and there assigned gold values. These triangles represent areas where the Diorite (host rock) was tested for gold mineralization. The importance of this, is that in that area we had one sample averaging .93 g/t over 7 m. This is telling us, that at least in that area , the diorite is mineralized enough to be economical at todays POG. The diorite IS NOT the gold bearing veins, but a disemination, like what we are looking for in some of the trenching.This important mineralization wasn,t looked at before, because it WAS not economical in 2005. IF, all the diorite/granodiorite contains mineralization averaging 0.4 g/t, and some of our trenching samples show this, this is huge in itself, IMO.

I may also go as far as saying, IF this host rock here is that heavily mineralized, the chances for the anomaly having a higher average grade than .93, is excellent, IMO.

Here is an excerpt from the 2005 Tech report that deals with what I was talking about;

The northern part of the A7 swarm is within a zone of propylitic alteration in

brecciated and sheared diorite. Fourty-two trench samples of the altered diorite

with an average sample length of 3.0 meters returned an average grade of 250 ppb

gold within a north-northwesterly trending zone measuring 200 m by 50 m. The

highest-grade sample assayed 2.26 g/t gold across 3.0 m. Another chip sample

assayed 0.94 g/t gold across 7.5 m. This gold-anomalous alteration zone may be

of economic interest at a higher gold price.
