Mar 01, 2011 (D Draper) - A 1.3m sample taken at 104m returned 3980ppm zinc from mafic volcanics mineralized with pyrrhotite (5-10%), pyrite (trace to 1%) and chalcopyrite (specks) in a stringer zone as well as pyrrhotite in fine disseminated blebs. At 108m, a one metre sample from the same unit returned 2720ppm Zn. (T-4424)
