Mineralization Comments

May 24, 2007 (Mark Puumala) - Hodgson (1991) reported an anomalous gold assay of 0.08 oz/ton at this location from a sample of rhyolite tuff that was indicated to contain minor sulphides. Mapping by Wood (1980) indicates that foliation and stratigraphy in the area strike approximately northwest, and that this occurrence is located immediately southeast of an inferred northwest-striking fault zone that passes through Hewitt Lake.
