Hole was terminated prior to reaching target depthAll assay values are uncut and intervals reflect drilled intercept lengths.HQ and NQ2 diameter core samples were sawn in half and typically sampled at standard 1.5 m intervals.The following metal prices were used to calculate the Au Eq metal content: Gold $1800/oz, Ag: $20/oz, Cu: $3.5/lb. Calculations used the formula AuEQ = Au g/t + (Ag g/t*0.0098765) + (Cu ppm*0.0001185). All metals are reported in USD and calculations consider recoveries of 90 % for gold, 80 % for copper, and 80 % for silver.True widths have not been determined as the mineralized body remains open in all directions. Further drilling is required to determine the mineralized body orientation and true widths.

· All assay values are uncut and intervals reflect drilled intercept lengths.
· HQ and NQ2 diameter core samples were sawn in half and typically sampled at standard 1.5m intervals
· The following metal prices were used to calculate the Au Eq metal content: Gold $1625/oz, Ag: $19/oz, Cu: $2.8/lb. Calculations used the formula Au Eq g/t = (Au g/t) + (Ag g/t x 0.01169) + (Cu% x 1.1815). All metals are reported in USD and calculations do not consider metal recoveries.
· True widths have not been determined as the mineralized body remains open in all directions. Further drilling is required to determine the mineralized body orientation and true widths.

The Perfect Storm Zone (PSZ) is a large magnetic anomaly that hosts significant gold-copper-silver porphyry-related mineralization. This magnetic anomaly is located along a relatively evenly spaced frequency of large deposits following the Treaty-Sulphuretes Thrust Fault, approximately mid-way between the Iron Cap Deposit to the southwest and our Goldstorm System to the northeast. The results suggest that the system is open to expansion to the southwest and to the northwest.
-Has the structural, geological, and geophysical features of the Goldstorm and other deposits in the “string of pearls.”
-Is located “right where it should be” – half way between the Iron Cap deposit (Seabridge) and the Goldstorm deposit (2.5km intervals).
-Is located along the Sulphurets thrust fault and along the “Kyba Line” which is a geological contact where large deposits form.
-Is also located near the Brucejack fault which is responsible for the high-grade Brucejack mine (Newcrest) a few kilometers to the south.
-Hosts potential for a large copper, gold, silver porphyry with high-grade epithermal overprinting.Geophysics are showing potential to be larger than the Goldstorm zone.
-Initial drilling has confirmed consistent mineralization over broad intervals similar to initial drilling on the Copper Belle / Goldstorm zone.
The exploration target area is at least 1.5 kilometers long and 500-800 meters wide.

The Eureka zone is located 1500 m east of the Copper Belle zone, near the west edge of an extensive, bright yellow-orange gossan zone covering over one square kilometer of clay, sericite, quartz and pyrite alteration. Alteration overprints several different rock units, including volcanic flows and breccias, plagioclase-porphyry intrusions, and minor sedimentary rocks. Alteration mineralogy suggests a shallow magmatic hydrothermal or epithermal environment of formation, with the potential to host gold-silver bearing veins and pervasive lower grade disseminated gold-silver mineralization.
At the Eureka showing, outcrops are cut by veins infilled with fine to coarse-grained quartz, calcite, and pyrite. Veins have steep dips with variable orientations and form weakly sheeted to stockwork zones. In the Eureka zone and surrounding area about 20 holes have been drilled on various targets. Several long intervals of weakly elevated gold grades were returned, such as 0.46 g/t Au over 169.2 m (DH 97-1) and 0.69 g/t Au, 2.9 g/t Ag over 75.5 m (TC07-02). Additional drilling is required to better define the mineralized areas.
-Has the structural, geological, and geophysical features of the Goldstorm and other deposits in the “string of pearls.”
-Is located “right where it should be” – close to 2km further north east of the Goldstorm deposit.
-Is located along the Sulphurets thrust fault.
-Initial drilling has confirmed consistent mineralization over broad intervals similar to initial drilling on the Copper Belle / Goldstorm zone.
