It comes down to the core
Several geochemical soil sampling programs on the Hat property by the previous owners and by Doubleview have demonstrated that anomalous Gold occurs in conjunction with Copper. In particular a soil sample from the Anomaly D area, approximately 2000 metres southwest from the Lisle Zone assayed 0.38% Cu, 55.26 g/t Au and 27.9 g/t Ag.
Furthermore, the following table compiles the analyses of surface rock samples from a 2008 exploration program that illustrates the range of metal values, particularly gold values that are found on the Hat property.
