Dr.

Peter Lightfoot

, Metallis' Technical Advisor, commented: "Gabbroic rocks have been located in

association with the Jurassic-aged Texas Creek plutonic suite which was emplaced close to the

boundary between andesitic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks of the

Hazelton

formation in the

footprint of the Thunder North claim block. These rocks may extend beneath young volcanic cover to

the immediate west where unexplained conductivity has been identified VTEM survey. Metallis is

continuing the search for magmatic sulfide mineralization associated with small structurally-controlled

differentiated mafic intrusions."
