Prospecting

There is widespread overburden coverage and limited bedrock exposure in the target areas. Prospecting was carried out in conjunction with the soil sampling program which finished in July 2012. Subsequently, the principal target areas were again prospected to ensure complete coverage. New exposures created by logging were prospected prior to the start of drilling. The best results were obtained from the Key West area and from copper rich volcanics along the East Fault (Table 2). The original surface gold discovery (4.57 g/t gold(2)) targeted by hole Key-01 at West Key was excavated by hand. Four mineralized narrow quartz veins, three of which are gold-silver-copper bearing, were traced over approximately 15 metres before disappearing under thick overburden. Active logging has opened up this area and further exploration is required to evaluate the shear zone/quartz vein system. Malachite was found in quartz-carbonate veined vesicular mafic volcanics at the southern end of the East Fault (Table 2).

Check Assaying

Check assaying was conducted on 50 samples for gold and 100 samples for silver, copper, lead and zinc. The check assays were processed through a 150 micron sieve (versus a standard 75 micron sieve) to determine if there was any coarse gold present. None was detected. Check analyses for silver, copper, lead and zinc used 2 grams of sample to ensure that a larger, more representative sample of the 150 micron split was analyzed. There were no significant changes from the initial analyses.
