Lithology Comments

Jun 26, 2015 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a thick sequence (366.5 ft) of interbedded mudstone and greywackes. The metasediments contain narrow calcite-sphalerite-galena stringers in some areas. The metasediments become more massive at depth and become dacitic in composition. The drill hole ends in iron tholeiitic basalts. A 10 ft wide syenitic dyke occupies the contact between the metasediments and the iron tholeiites.

Mineralization Comments

Jun 26, 2015 (A Wilson) - J. Satterly reported that anomalously elevated gold assays were obtained from felsic grab samples. A 5 ft. section of greywacke returned a best assay of 238 ppb Au and 18 ppm Pb. Elevated copper values up to 120 ppb were recovered from a 5.4 ft section of core above the gold values. Elevated zinc values were encountered in the top 2.7 feet of core. These values ran up to 380 ppb Zn. Assays from the 1988 drilling program completed by American Barrick Resources returned best values of 0.25 g/t Au over 0.75 m in arkose, 0.67 g/t Au over 0.50 m in arkose (MC.88-466), 0.99 g/t Au over 0.90 m in a silicified section of syenite (MC.88-467).
