In total, 31 surface rock, 20 stream sediment and 72 soil samples were collected during the survey. The results confirm the presence of anomalous gold and silver values in both rock and stream sediments at Daraina. Six of the thirty-one rock samples returned gold and silver grades in excess of 1 g/t, including samples DARR-020, which ran 87.1 g/t Au and 21 g/t Ag and DARR-018 which contained 1.1 g/t Au and 75 g/t Ag.
Three of the twenty heavy mineral concentrates extracted from 10-litre stream sediment samples (DARST-003, 001 and 019) show anomalous gold grades of 27.3 g/t Au, 31.2 g/t Au and 35.9 g/t Au, respectively. Gold particles were also detected in the stream sediment samples panned on-site.
