Geologist: B Atkinson
Notes: The mineral occurrence consists of a robust quartz vein up to 3 m in width hosted within a moderately sheared quartz feldspar porphyry. The vein has been stripped over a strike lenght of 175 m and trends northeastward. It is mineralized with up to 2% disseminated sulphides including pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, bornite. galena, sphalerite and secondary azurite, malacite. Pyite is the dominant sulphide and occurs as disseminations and small masses. A parallel smaller vein lies 25 m to the southeast of the main vein and it is exposed in several old prospector pits. During the current property visit on June 29, 2011, a total of 7 samples were collected from the property. Fire assay results ranged from <0.01 to 0.03 ounce per ton gold. One sample assayed 0.3 ounce per ton silver.
