The recent trenching program included re-opening and re-evaluating the historic Bull Road Showing. The property is a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit analogous to Kuroko/Buchans style mineralization.

One area of recent trenching was the Bull Road Showing, where previous historic work included trenching and drilling with 7 holes sunk on the showing. Trenching along the trace of the Bull Road Showing exposed mineralization over a length of 130 metres with a width varying between 1 — 7 metres.

The Bull Road Showing is a polylithic slump breccia of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization containing massive sulphide clasts up to and greater than a metre in length.

Reported historic trench samples at Bull Road showing included 12.42% zinc, 3.87% copper, 0.95% lead, and 0.71 ounces per ton silver over 4.6 metres. One historic drill hole at this showing reportedly intersected 22.2% zinc and 4.4% lead, 0.1% copper, and 0.96 ounces per ton silver over 0.65 metres of core, within an intersection of 7.85 metres grading 3.41% zinc, 0.51% lead, 0.66% copper, 0.34 ounces per ton silver.
