Nov 16, 2012 (A Wilson) - A 15.2 foot section of argillite returned 0.02% Cu, 0.02% Zn, nil Ag and trace Au. A 10 ft section of argillite assayed 0.01% Cu, 0.09% Zn and tr Au. The sulphides typically comprise 5% of the argillite and both occur along the bedding planes. Pyrrhotite and pyrite occur as blebs up to 3 cm within the felsic tuffs.
