Acid Based Accounting <br /> Braun personnel collected a set of samples for acid based accounting testing. These tests are specifically <br /> designed to determine the amount of sulfur contained in the samples and the buffering potential of the <br /> matrix materials. Three samples were chosen from within the Mineral Mountain property and prospect <br /> area. These three samples,along with two of Braun's standards,were submitted to ACZ Laboratories in <br /> Steamboat Springs,Colorado. The samples were collected using Braun's standard sampling procedures <br /> and transported using standard chain of custody and shipping procedures to the certified laboratory. A <br /> brief description of the samples follows: <br /> Sample MH-1 was collected from approximately 75 feet below the ground surface,across the <br /> mineralized structure believed to be the target for mining. It is the same structure intercepted <br /> by the shaft located on the project area. The sample was wholly composed of a lithic tuff unit <br /> commonly called the Cripple Creek breccia,the main rock-forming unit in the district. The <br /> sample contained disseminated metal mineralization and veining. <br /> Sample MH-2 was collected from lithic tuff unit locally called the Cripple Creek breccia. The <br /> sample contained no visible sulfide minerals and is representative of the local rock unit of the <br /> area. <br /> Sample MH-3 consisted of a 1-inch wide vein collected from approximately 75 feet below the <br /> ground surface and typical of veins of the district. It contains a combined total ratio of sulfide <br /> plus telluride minerals to other minerals of about 5 percent and it is hoped that the sample will <br /> be found to contain economic grade minerals. <br /> Sample MH-4 was a standard prepared by Braun. It is composed of Cripple Creek breccia and <br /> contains a predetermined sulfide concentration of 5 percent. <br /> Sample MH-5 was a standard prepared by Braun. It is composed of quartz sulfide vein <br /> containing 20%pyrite, 5%galena, 5%sphalerite, 65%vein white quartz,and 5%percent calcite. <br /> 4 <br />
