10/15/2019 (T Pettigrew) - Outlined on the property is a 150 m wide, pyrite-mineralized, sheared, folded deformation zone. The zone has been altered with chlorite and sericite with abundant calcite being found within the deformed intermediate volcanic host. Anomalous gold values of up to 0.5 oz/t Au have been found in highly siliceous felsic metavolcanics float lying within the deformation zone. Sample 98-MHG-4, collected by OGS staff member G. White, returned 0.382 g/t Au. This sample was a piece of float, described as a partially gossaned, quartz-veined pink altered porphyry with 3% patches and disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite. Three other samples taken by G. White from sheared, silicified metavolcanics with pyrite returned low grades of 5, 7, and 12 ppb Au (MDI deposit files, Thunder Bay RGP office).
