12/19/2019 (T Pettigrew) - The mineralization consists of semi-massive breccia sulfide veins and stringers in pyroxenite containing disseminated sulfides. The sulfide breccias contain sub-rounded 1-10 cm fragments of pyroxenite, and they form an anastomosing network within a larger domain of pyroxenite with disseminated sulfide mineralization. The sulfides comprise dominantly pyrrhotite (60-70%) with some pentlandite (10%) and minor chalcopyrite. The chalcopyrite is locally segregated and forms either remobilized veins or wraps around inclusions. The host rocks of the Dobie Intrusion are pyroxenites. A petrographic examination of one sample from drill core A-0-15 at 25 m depth indicates an assemblage of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and granular pentlandite in a strongly recrystallized amphibolite. Disseminated, vein, and globby sulphide was described in the drill logs. Locally 10% sulphide content was recorded. Assays returned up to 0.356% Cu, 0.547% Ni, 48 ppb Au, 64 ppb Pd, and 29 ppb Pt. Grades of up to 0.226% Ni and 0.219% Cu over 0.91 m and 0.547% Ni and 0.218% Cu over 0.42 m were returned. (Ronacher et al, 2018).
