Two master composites were created from the drill core, and each composite was assayed for gold in duplicate. Master Comp 1 (\"\n \n MC1\n \n \") and Master Comp 2 (\"\n \n MC2\n \n \") contained 1.94 and 1.18 grams per tonne gold (\"\n \n g/t Au\n \n \") respectively. Metallurgical testing included gravity tests on MC1 and development...
