Pembrook signed an option agreement for the Batamote property in May 2011.
Mineralization in the Batamote zone occurs along the contact between a brecciated rhyolite and the host sediment rocks. A short ramp has been driven on the mineralized zone.
Sampling by Pembrook and by others has confirmed the presence of high grade gold along the structural contact; 12.5 grams per tonne Au over 2.5 metres and 0.94 g/t Au over 60.7 metres in the brecciated rhyolite.
Sampling on the Batamote project has returned good gold grades within the rhyolite including 12.5 g/t Au over 2.5 metres, 31 g/t Au over1.0 metres and 0.65 g/t Au over 72 metres including 0.98 g/t Au over 38 metres.
Preliminary soil sampling has demonstrated that the host rhyolite carries 0.1 g/t Au to 2.1 g/t Au in soils over widths of 300 metres to 500 metres.
