Mineralization Comments

Jan 25, 2016 (A Wilson) - On claim L-102346, the old pits were sunk in the conglomerate on small rusty cones and exhibit some pyrrhotite, pyrite with a little chalcopyrite disseminated in a peridotitic matrix (?). Two samples taken in the pits at location 26W-10N assayed 0.06% Cu; 0.08% Ni and 0.05% Cu and 0.12% Ni respectively. Best assays from DDH 660-84-07 returned values of 1700 ppm Zn, 230 ppm Cu over 4 m.
