Jan 06, 2017 (A Wilson) - Recent prospecting on the property has disclosed a mineralized zone on Claim KO 24997 where, in two test pits about 125 feet apart, considerable sulphide mineralization - consisting essentially of chalcopyrite with a narrow band of massive pyrrhotite, has been opened up. The main pit, which is an open cut on the hill, discloses mineralization over an approximate length of 20 feet and a width of 5 to 6 feet. The east wail of the zone consisted of pegmatite and granite. The west wall was not exposed on the downside of the hill. The sulphides probably occur in paragneiss. It is estimated that the zone would run about 3% copper over the exposed widths in the open cut. Bands of massive sulphides, a few inches wide, would assay much higher. The pyrrhotite was not nickeliferous, according to field tests.
Jan 06, 2017 (D Laidlaw) - Up to 3% Cuis reported in sample. The evidence of massive chalcopyrite mineralization and the probability that the zone continues for at least 800 feet is sufficiently important to warrant a thorough test of the property.
