Lithology Comments

Jan 22, 2014 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of massive andesite and pillowed amygdaloidal andesite. The andesite is described as fine- to medium-grained. Between 68 and 80 m lapilli were identified. The drill hole terminated in a graphitic fractured andesite. The fractured andesite was cut by irregular stringers and bands of graphitic chert/argillite

Mineralization Comments

Feb 26, 2008 (D Draper) - Hole 18 (az. 340, dip -45) intersected a graphitic fault zone @ 121.5m downhole at the base of a graphitic andesite. This zone returned 7140ppm Zn over 0.4m and 20,000 ppm Zn (3403 ppm Pb) over 0.3m. A unit of massive andesite @ 177m mineralized with 50% py returned 379 ppb Au over 0.15m. Hole #7 (az. 345, dip -45), drilled 160m WSW of hole 18, returned 5579 ppm Zn over 0.65m from a breccitated andesite @ 217.1m downhole. (T-3787)
