Sep 08, 2014 (G Seim) - The prime target was southwest of Little Redstone Lake where a pink granite intrusion occurred. The contact between the granite and gneissic lava and sericitic schist outcrops were examined. It was hoped that a discovery would be made in these favourable rocks, The mineralization that did occur was in narrow bands of iron formation. The occurrence of chalcopyrite in the iron formation was not rich enough to be of economic value. The 2000 gamma anomaly on the air borne map was caused by the iron formation. The rocks contained approximately 10% magnetite, less than 1% chalcopyrite and 2-3% pyrite.

Sep 08, 2014 (A Wilson) - A single grab sample returned 0.75% Cu and 225 ppb Au. Sample #15 located approximately 1000 ft to the southeast returned 212 ppb Au and 0.019% Cu.
