Oct 31, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Sample 237477 assayed 0.781 ppm Au. The description for this sample is as follows: “Sample from outcrop very close to stockwork veining. Outcrop location is dark orange in colour suggesting very strong ankerite alteration. Veining is more regular in this area, appearing to crosscut dominant fabric in larger outcrop of 069 degrees. Veining is 1 to 3 cm in width, barren of sulfides, but the wallrock is cream orange in colour with moderate silicification, ankeritization and carbonitization. Rock is non-magnetic. Fine to coarse grained subhedral pyrite with minor chalcopyrite present disseminated throughout wallrock. Sulfides can approach 10% in some higher grade pieces”. Sample 237478 from the same location assayed 0.296 ppm Au (AFRI 2.56281).
