Lithology Comments

Mar 31, 2009 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of rhyolite and andesitic metavolcanics. The rhyolite is generally described as massive with brecciated zones appearing near the base of the unit. The andesite is interpreted to be narrow dikes.


Dec 03, 2018 (P Bousquet) - The hole ends in a syenitic feldspar porphyry.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 03, 2018 (A Wilson) - Anomalous copper and zinc values were returned from quartz diabase. A sample of drill core returned 9600 ppm Zn and 533 ppm Cu; an adjacent sample of core returned 2440 ppm Cu and 141 ppm Zn. A section of rhyolite core farther up in the hole returned 2290 ppm Zn and 760 ppm Cu. The best assays were returned from the upper contact between the felsic metavolcanics and the diabase (T-1247/donation).


Dec 03, 2018 (P Bousquet) - The higher values are located within 10 ft of the lower contact of the quartz diabase and the syenitic feldspar porphyry (T-1247/donation). Chalcopyrite is noted for the upper 3 ft sample that assayed 2440 ppm Cu, and yellowish sphalerite in the lower 2 ft sample that assayed 9600 ppm Zn. Both samples are within a brecciated chill margin.
