May 31, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - A trench on Canadian Dyno Mines' A-2-5 conductor revealed pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization in a siliceous tuffaceous sediment about 15 feet wide, contained within mafic-intermediate metavolcanics. A chip sample, 3.0 feet wide of the better mineralization, returned trace gold, 0.09% Cu, 0.2% Zn, and 0.01% Ni. Chip samples from the A-2-7 conductor returned up to 0.01 oz/t Au, 0.04% Cu, 0.16% Zn, 0.02% Ni from pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization with very minor chalcopyrite in a tuffaceous sediment (Assessment report 52I08NW0027).
