All drill core samples collected as part of Company drilling programs were collected using QA/QC protocols including the regular insertion of certified standards and blanks within each sample batch sent for analysis. Drill core, rock grab and soil samples were sent to Eastern Analytical Limited in Springdale, NL or ALS Global in North Vancouver, BC and analysed for Au by fire assay (30 g) with an AA finish. The QP has verified the quality and accuracy of the Company exploration data.
