Mineralization Comments

Feb 15, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - Relatively heavy silicification has taken place throughout a 9.1 m wide zone. Shearing of the sediments is noticeable but not pronounced and mineralization in the form of pyrite is localized in the more siliceous sections. Low values in gold have been obtained from the portions that are most heavily mineralized (Assessment file 42C12NW0173).
