Lithology

Lithology Comments

Nov 28, 2012 (A Wilson) - The property is underlain by mafic and intermediate metavolcanics including pillowed lavas, tuff and agglomerates. The vein strikes N55° E and dips 20-80°SE and is cut near its west end by a lanprophyre dike. The vein has a length of approximately 600 feet but the vein has been cross cut by a left-hand fault of approximately 60 feet displacement.

Mineralization

Mineralization Comments

Nov 28, 2012 (A Wilson) - Assays from a 160 foot long section of the vein assayed 0.31 oz/t Au and 1.8 oz/t Ag over a width of 4.6 feet. A surface assay from the eastern part of the vein (No 2 Vein) has a grade of 0.17 oz/t Au over 3.9 ft for 240 ft. The western part of the vein (No. 1 Vein) averages 0.31 oz/t Au over 4.6 ft for 160 feet. At depth, the No. 1 vein at 175 ft. averages 0.31 oz/t Au over 6.5 ft for 55 ft and the No. 2 vein averages 0.13 oz/t Au over 5.3 ft. for 115 ft. A section of the No. 1 vein exposed in the raise to surface, below 175 feet assayed 0.16 oz/t Au across 4.9 feet; the raise from 175 ft to surface is reported to have assayed 0.22 oz/t Au over 4.0 ft. A surface grab sample collected by S. Beanland in 1936 assayed 1.06 oz/t Au over 3 feet. A chip sample across 0.5 feet of a quartz vein in agglomeratic rhyolite about 400 ft west of the boundary ofTRT4257 assayed 0.25 oz/t Au. The best assays from the Gwen Resources drilling returned values of 0.148 oz/t Au over 2 ft in a quartz breccia unit in DDH CL-91-1. The same zone returned 0.120 oz/t Au over 3 ft in CL-91-2. Elevated gold values also were returned from an andesitic breccia in CL-91-3.
