Lithology Comments

Mar 23, 2012 (A Wilson) - Quartz veins, with lenses of massive pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, cut Bruce Formation quartzites. Two principal lenses are 95 feet apart along strike. The south lens is 6 to 8 feet long, 3 to 4 feet wide, 1 to 2 feet thick, strikes N, and dips flatly.

Mineralization Comments

Mar 27, 2012 (A Wilson) - Massive, pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in small, relatively flat lenses at the No. 1 showing, where test pitting and diamond drilling showed the south pod to strike south-southwest, to be 6'-8' long, 3'-4' wide and 1'-2' thick, and the north lens to strike east-west and to be 2'-3' long, 10”-12" wide and 8"-10" thick. Alteration consists of moderate silicification and chloritization. Finely disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite in a small, tight east-west striking, vertically dipping, shear zone, as at the No. 2 showing where diamond drilling located sulphide mineralization, but not in economic amounts. Alteration consists of chloritization only. An assay of 0.03% Cu over 2 ft. was reported from drill core.
