10/06/2006 (M A Puumala) - The KL-38 occurrence is hosted within the same quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusion that hosts the KL-12 zone. Winter (1988) describes the KL-38 zone as a showing that exhibits anomalous gold values associated with quartz veining in quartz-feldspar porphyry. The quartz veins are reported to strike north-south and have near-vertical dips. A northerly dipping east-west striking shear zone at this location was also reported to host gold mineralization. The most favourable reported assay obtained from DDH KL-38 was 1.34 g/t over 1.5 m. A 15 m wide zone with >500 ppb Au was also reported from this drill hole.
