One half of the\ncore is returned to the core box for reference. The samples are forwarded to\nAcme Analytical Laboratories Ltd.'s facility in Smithers BC for preparation\nand on to Acme's facility in Vancouver BC for analyses. Copper and zinc are\ndetermined by ICP-ES on a 1-gram subsample as part of Acme's Group 7 AR\npackage. Gold is determined by fire assay preparation with an ICP-ES finish\nusing Acme's Group 3B procedure on a 30-gram subsample. "Overlimits" for gold\n((greater than)10 g/t) are reanalyzed by a conventional 30-gram fire assay.\nAcme reports results of its standards and re-analyses of samples. In addition,\nthe Company inserted its own set of commercial standards and blanks within the\nsample sequence. All Quality Control results were found to be within an\nacceptable range.\n\n\nAdditional Drilling\n\n\nThe 2008...
