Geology Comments

Jan 03, 2013 (Nazha Sabiri) - The property is underlain by diabase that carries mineralization on fractures, cross fractures, sheared planes and veins. A cross fracture 1 to 6 inches wide showed mineralization along its length for 900 feet. According to Bayne, A.S (KL-1217) the mineralization seems to have been formed by hydrothermal replacement of calcitic vein material and even of the massive diabase itself.

Lithology Comments

Feb 25, 2013 (A Wilson) - The property contains two veins. The Galena Vein, located on Lot 11 Con 6 was developed in 1937. The Silver Vein is located on Lot 10 Con 6. The Galena Vein runs along the edge of the outcrop bordering the west side of Ingram creek. The vein has been traced for 130 feet across the outcrop and by means of a new pit about 70 feet south of the outcrop. The Silver Vein is a mineralized fracture which has been followed across the ridge for a distance of 400 feet. It strikes N80W and is vertical.


Jan 03, 2013 (Nazha Sabiri) - Mineralization fills and replaces a quartz-calcite vein and also the Diabase. Diabase is chloritized and carbonated.

Mineralization Comments

Feb 25, 2013 (A Wilson) - The Galena Vein has a length of approximately 60 m. Assays from this vein returned values of 0.03 oz/t Ag, 2.01% Zn and 22.43% Pb. A cross fracture on the surface yielded 0.98 oz/t Au, 1.72 oz/t Ag, 0.36% cu, 0.41% Co and 0.24% Pb. The Silver Vein occurs in the S1/2 of lot 10 Con 6. Assays from this vein include 0.38 oz/t Au, 0.65 oz/t Ag and 4.5% Co. The best assays from the Agnico-Eagle sampling program included 0.002oz/t Au, 2.82 oz/t Ag, 4000ppm Cu, 48 ppm Co and 600ppm As; 0.004oz/t Au, 3.40 oz/t Ag, 17,000ppm Cu, 650 ppm Co and 1200 ppm As. Cobalt values up to 8000 ppm were also obtained. These assays were obtained from the vicinity of the Silver Vein. Diamond drilling on the Silver Vein in 1991 returned a best assay of 7.72% Cu, 3.53% Pb, 1.46 oz/t Ag and 0.75% Zn with minor silver and gold values. The best assays from a hole drilled in 2005 in Lot 10 Con 6 were 0.51 oz/t Ag, 2.8% Cu, 4.29% Pb and 1.33% Zn over 6 inches within a carbonate veinlet.


Jan 03, 2013 (Nazha Sabiri) - All joints, cross fractures and the shear planes are mineralized. In this part of the claims mineralization consists mainly of copper, zinc and lead and some gold, silver and cobalt. The Galena Vein varies from 2 to 5 inches in width, has been traced for 130 feet, strikes N 30 E and dip to the East. Grab sample from this vein run: 0.03 oz/ton Au, 3.77 oz/ton Ag, 2.01% Zn and 22.43% Pb. Samples from the DD M-3-91 performed by Marshall, Foster in 1991 return values: Ag: o.24-1.5 oz/ton, Cu:0.05-7.72 %, Zn: 0.75-3.05 %, Pb: 2.08-3.53
