SAMPLE EASTING NORTHING TYPE DETAILS
(ZONE 10N)
ID (ZONE 10N)
S-CC1 440545 5413077 1.0m 30-40cm wide quartz vein hosted in silicified schist.
Chip Schists have pyrite and minor chalcopyrite stringers
in 1m surrounding vein. White quartz vein has 25%
pyrite and 5% chalcopyrite. Vein traceable over 4m
on Mount Sicker (east) side, sloughed open cut
20m above covers vein. Vein is exposed across
river's edge, below a small open cut on opposite
(east) side of River. Strikes 80E / 50S DIp.
S-CC2 440546 5413067 50cm 20-25cm wide quartz/sulphide vein in silicified
schists. Coarse pyrite is semi-massive at 50%,
chalcopyrite disseminated at 5%. Vein appears to
reappear across the river. 70E / 45S Dip
S-CC3 440547 5413055 Grab Vein varying from 10-20cm wide with quartz and
S-CC4 440543 schist. Hosting coarse and fine pyrite.
Mineralization is disseminated - massive.
S-CC5 440553 Averages of 50% pyrite and 10% chalcopyrite.
S-CC6 440534 Vein exposed on both banks of the river and has
S-CC7 389450 open cuts above the vein on both sides. Strikes
S-CC8 440506 68E / 50S Dip
S-CC9 440506
5413045 1.25m 20cm-1.5m wide sulphide quartz vein hosted in
Chip silicified schists by river's edge. Coarse pyrite with
varying chalcopyrite in different areas of the vein.
The sulphides, schists and quartz are interwoven
and on average the vein has 50-60% sulphides.
Sample taken from beside quartz in area of massive
chalcopyrite with minor pyrite. +/-60% chalcopyrite
and 20% pyrite. Chalcopyrite iridescent color. Strike
70E / 80S Dip.
5413048 Grab 30cm wide sulphide quartz vein hosted in silicified
schists by river's edge. Coarse pyrite with varying
chalcopyrite in different areas of the vein. Vein
same as sample S-CC4 but near Victoria adit
portal. Sample of fine pyrite at 25% and
chalcopyrite at 10-15%. 70E / 85S Dip
5413032 50cm 15m from Copper Canyon lower entrance schists
Chip host a 25cm-55cm wide quartz vein with 40-50%
chalcopyrite. Chalcopyrite appears to spiderweb
through quartz vein. Vein runs down into rivers edge.
92E / 90S Dip
5406411 1.0m Quartz vein varying in size from 35cm-1.1m at
Chip entrance of the lower Copper Canyon Adit Portal
15m from water's edge. Vein has semi massive
pyrite and up to 15% chalcopyrite. Sample taken had
15% chalcopyrite in fine/coarse grey pyrite.
5413016 Dump Dump sample near upper shaft area from 50cm
Grab wide boulder dug out 2m away from shaft entrance.
Sample contained 60% chalcopyrite and 20% pyrite
in quartz.
5413016 Grab Small 14cm-17cm vein of dark golden chalcopyrite in
schists. Vein has some minor malachite staining
surrounding and is 3-4m below a 1m x 2m open cut.
Vein is 90%+ chalcopyrite. 74E / 82S Dip.
Note that all samples were collected by Justin Deveault and Justin McNutt from 911
Exploration Corp. over two days in October and November 2023. The XRF results were
received February 28, 2024.

QA/QC Statement
The results reported here were prepared by using an Olympus Delta portable XRF
(Model DS 6500CC) using industry-standard chain of custody procedures with all
samples. The XRF operator named Clive Khan is independent of Kermode and
completed the XRF analysis in December, 2023.
The XRF was calibrated prior to each test as follows. At each startup, a calibration coin
was analyzed, and subsequent analysis was only performed when a pass was obtained,
which was calculated internally by the XRF instrument. The XRF unit was set to
geochemical mode and a full 200 second test was run to determine copper content.
While the instrument detects many elements, only copper was tested. The XRF
analyzes only a small portion of the sample, so half the sample was crushed to pass an
80-mesh screen before testing. During analysis of the samples by handheld XRF,
non-blind control samples were analysed to monitor the XRF instrument calibration and
performance. A correction factor for all base metals was applied to the raw data. The
correction factor was determined by analyzing samples that had previously been
analyzed at a commercial laboratory. These rock samples were of varying
concentrations and analyzed by the handheld XRF using the method described above.
The portable XRF is accurate to within a 5% error for copper content. We did not use
the portable XRF to determine accurate readings for other elements.
