They are straddled with two misses, one to the northeast and one to the southwest. Total separation 200 metres. Holes 3 to the NE and 4 to the SW. They say the missed by overshot to the southwest in granodiorite and undershot to the northeast in granodiorite. This is conjectural at present of course.

They hit massive sulfide in two zones cut by hole 5 drilled vertical 50 metres to the NE of holes one and 2, which are the discovery holes. The first zone in hole 5 was 213 feet of MS, it appears. (I think that is what they are saying).

This is the text on hole 5, not yet assayed:

Between 47.4 and 112.6 meters massive chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pentlandite was observed. Then from 112.6 to 123.3 meters peridotite with interstitial chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite was observed. Between 123.3 and 124.4 meters, another massive section of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pentlandite was observed. The hole then remained in peridotite until 127.4 meters core length, then entered granodiorite until the end of the hole at 143.4 meters.

It could be that the body plunges to the SW.

Granodiorite appears to lie below the peridotite, in hole 5, in the middle of the zone. Intersecting granodiorite in the SW and NE holes indicates then the distinct possibility of undershot in at least one hole. Overshot in hole 3 to the SW is slightly less clear as to means unless the granodiorite plunges shallowly to the NE, surfacing on the SW. The peridotite would undercut the granodiorite to the SW, and overlay it to the NE in a sill-like fashion.

The body is evidently overturned as the more massive sulfides are on top.
