rock hounds ... LOOKS SIMILAR TO ME

We believe the Brucejack gold-silver deposits represent (the now eastward tilted and deformed) higher level transitional meso- to epithermal mineralization within the sericitic alteration zone of a telescoped porphyry deposit, with the high-grade gold mineralization at the Valley of the Kings hosted in deformed quartz, quartz-carbonate, and quartz-adularia veins, vein breccias, and stockworks. The 2012 Brucejack Exploration Program continues to confirm our geological interpretation. In turn, our geological interpretation is consistently allowing us to expand the Valley of the Kings mineralization to the east and at depth and now, as evidenced by hole SU-498, to the west of the Brucejack Fault.-PRETIUM

The newly exposed rock is bisected by a contact between intensely quartz-sericite-pyrite altered coarse fragmental volcanics and highly sheared clastic sediments. Strong fracture coating with moderate pyrite occurs locally. In the southeast corner of the island pervasive malachite (copper oxide) stain was noted. The first drill hole will be directed southeastward to test the extent of this copper-bearing mineralization.---TEUTON
