10/15/2020 (T Pettigrew) - Sample A671479 returned 1.54 ppm Au from a quartz vein hosted in mafic metavolcanics. The veining was found along a rock face, oriented at 000/65W. The host mafic volcanic was observed with minor patches of Fe-carbonate up to 4 cm wide. Fine quartz tension threads/stringers were observed cutting the carbonate patches through into the host rock. Although less than a 1 g/t Au, the sample of the host rock did return an anomalous value of 730 ppb Au (Assessment report 20000007240).
