Jul 11, 2023 (Justin Jonsson) - Angular boulders returned assays of up to 1.125 % Cu, 0.4% Ni, and 2.35 g/t Au+Pd+Pt and 1.015 % Cu, 0.298 % Ni, and 3.81 g/t Au+Pd+Pt. Over a dozen similarly mineralized angular blocks were noted within an area several hundred metres in extent, ranging from 15 cm cobbles up to several angular boulders greater than 1 m in diameter. Most of the boulders were imbedded in reddish matrix-supported glacial till that is up to a few metres maximum thickness and capped by thin organic soil cover, indicating that the boulders were naturally emplaced within the till
