Feb 23, 2021 (Therese Pettigrew) - Located 600 m northeast of the Swamp Lake showing along the same structural lineament is the Rentz showing which consists of sheared, pillowed, mafic metavolcanic rock which has undergone strong hydrothermal alteration (carbonatization, silicification and limonite staining). Narrow discontinuous quartz-carbonate veins occur throughout the exposure and often host disseminated sulphide mineralization. Pyrite is the dominant sulphide mineral and occurs as fine-grained cubic pyrite and as semi-massive lenses of sulphide mineralization within the metavolcanic rocks and along quartz-carbonate vein margins. Rock grab samples and channel samples provided the following anomalous gold assay values: 150 ppb, 1070 ppb (0.033 oz Au/ton) and 1100 ppb (0.035 oz Au/ton) (Mason et al., 1990). A small sampling program in 2009 returned up to 0.33 ppm Au from a thin quartz vein with massive arsenopyrite hosted in metavolcanics with arsenopyrite and pyrite (Assessment report 20000005897).
