Sep 27, 2016 (Andrew Tims) - This is the only showing greater than 1 g/t Au outside the east-west trending Pistol Lake - Band Ore corridor. Quartz veins form 1 to 3 centimeters arrays where significant surface gold grades of up to 1.95 g/t Au were obtained in sample L223515. Quartz veins are oxidized, ankeritized, hematized and epidotized. The extension of this showing is unknown, a few samples within 12 meters display anomalous gold.
