01/14/2020 (T Pettigrew) - A pyrrhotite-rich layer was located near the basal portion of a pyroxene-rich gabbroic sill (Assessment report 52E10SW8567). A strong ground EM and mag anomaly trends north-northeasterly through claim number K 560559. Seven diamond drill holes are reported from 1968 along this anomaly and core from two of these was found. In the old drill core a nickel value of 0.17% over 1.6 m and a copper value of 0.12% over 1.3 m were observed. The high nickel value is in a section of green banded quartz with 30% pyrite stringers. Most of the sulfides are in quartz-(carbonate)-rich rocks as bands and veinlets in altered mafics. Massive pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite are fairly common in the core. Gold values were all trace or nil (Assessment report 52E10SW8582).
