Apr 08, 2013 (A Wilson) - The ore reportedly contains about 5% Co. A sample assayed by the ODM returned 10.2 oz /t Ag and $1.10 Au. An analysis of a portion of the sample (separated from the quartz and calcite gangue) returned: 10.90% Co, 2.34% Ni, 11.40% Fe and 25.43% As. Mr. Beland (1913) reported that an assay of 92 oz/t Ag over 6 feet was obtained at one place in the shaft. A grab sample collected from an old by T. Miron in 1991 assayed 0.002 oz/t Au and a grab sample collected from the old dump site assayed 0.425% Cu, 0.794% Ni and 0.028 oz/t Au. Samples collected by D. Goddard in 1995 returned assays ranging from 110 ppm Co, 606 ppm Cu, 3130 ppm Ni to 701 ppm Co, 4720 ppm Cu, 10100 ppm Ni. A grab sample collected by the OGS from a sulphide rich zone within the gabbro/diorite assayed 0.46% Cu and 0.89% Ni. The sample contained abundant sulphides (pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite). A sample collected by N. Ruttan assayed 0.64% Cu.
