Mineralization Comments

Dec 22, 2011 (A McKee) - 1967: ODM grab sample assayed 0.24% Cu. 1992: 462 ppm Cu.


Jan 26, 2023 (Q Unknown) - Early Precambrian gabbro or diorite encloses a one foot wide gossan zone, strike approx. N60w, in which there are stringers of pyrite and chalcopyrite up to 5 mm wide. A grab sample assayed 0.24% Cu. On claim PA 2396, a 50 foot length was stripped across a 2-4 foot width to expose a sheared dyke. A little pyrite was observed and some fine gold was reportedly panned from quartz samples from a vein associated with the dyke (SMDR 00581).
