Jun 07, 2023 (Therese Pettigrew) - DDH 33-3A-5 returned up to 0.23% Cu and 0.10% Zn over 1.4 m from a sulphide iron formation with nearly massive, fine-trained finely banded pyrite and minor pyrrhotite at 94.3 feet depth. The drillhole was collared approximately 500 m to the NW of the Roadside showing (Assessment report 52H03NW0019). Sample AS12-089 taken by Aki Siltamaki in 2012 returned 2.17 g/t Au, 16.3 g/t Ag, and 1.22% Cu from a quartz-rich shear zone mineralized with disseminated chalcopyrite (Assessment report 20000013870). Sample L785893 collected in 2020 by Transition Metals returned 3.96 ppm Au, 7.90 ppm Ag, and 6350 ppm Cu from a sheared vein containing 4-5% fine grained disseminated pyrite, 1-2% disseminated chalcopyrite along foliation, becoming thing mm veinlets of sulphides at the shear/vein margins (Assessment report 20000020224).
