Lithology Comments

Nov 16, 2012 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of graphitic argillite and schistose intermediate metavolcanics. Elevated assays were obtained from argillite which locally contains felsic fragments ranging from 2 to 12 mm in size. The andesite exhibits kink folding as well as massive sections within the core.

Mineralization Comments

Nov 16, 2012 (A Wilson) - A 0.5 foot section of argillite returned 0.04% Cu, 0.02% Zn, and trace Au. A 0.2 ft section of argillite from CG-7 assayed 0.02% Cu, 0.01% Zn and nil Au. Non graphtic sections of core contain 5% pyrite as blebs and thin layers. In graphitic sections, sulphides average 10% py as thin layers and twisted blebs.
