Trench 6: This trench exposes ultramafics at the south end, with occasional bands of moderate albitization and around 2-3% sulfide (pyrite-pyrrhotite) in the albitized zones. Following this is approximately 3m of calc-silicate alteration with 3-5% sulfide overall and traces of Cr-diopside. Very strongly albitized graphitic sediments follow the calc-silicates.

There is a wide band (about 5m) of graphitic mudstone in the center of the trench with sphalerite nodules and pyrite rims, 1-2% chalcopyrite blebs and stringers and pyrite-pyrrhotite closer to the ultramafic contact. The north end of the trench exposes weakly foliated serpentinized ultramafics. Trench 7: This trench exposes ultramafics at the south end, followed by Pontiac sediments that are possibly albitized, as well as a narrow bed of graphitic mudstone at the north end of the trench.

It is thought that this trench was dug a bit too far north. Trench 8: This trench exposes serpentinized ultramafics at the south end, followed by a few bands of albitized ultramafics /calc silicate altered ultramafics. These were narrow but well mineralized with up to 7% disseminated and clotty sulfides.

There is a bed of graphitic sediments followed by a narrow bed of Pontiac sediments and then a wide band, approximately 7m, of albitized to strongly albitized ultramafics to the end of the trench. There is a 1m band of calc-silicate altered ultramafics near the north end of the trench which is also well mineralized. In addition, a channel was cut in the main Lalonde pit on the powerline.

This channel consists of the albitized shear zone to the north and deeply weathered but strongly altered ultramafics to the south of the channel. Overall sulfides in the samples ranged from 5-7% disseminated and clots of pyrite-pyrrhotite and sphalerite. Samples taken in the pit in 2020 were grab samples of weathered rock.

A grab sample is not representative of the entirety of the mineralization and weathering can affect the presence of mineralization as well as mineralization can leach out during weathering. Since the company crew was working in the area of the old pit a channel was cut in order to get a more representative picture of the mineralization. The grab samples referred to above were bagged and tagged in the field and processed at ALS Laboratories in Val d'Or where they were tested by "PGM-MS23L" Low Level PGM FA ICPMS, "ME-MS61L" Super Trace Lowest DL 4A by ICPMS and "ME-OG62" Ore Grade Elements ­ Four Acid.
