Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of garnetiferous metasediments, felsic tuffs and iron formation. All units are intruded by quartz porphyry and quartz-feldspar porphry sills and dikes. Slightly elevated gold values are found in all units. The highest Au values were recovered from the base of the iron formation and from within a quartz-feldspar porphyry sill.

Mineralization Comments

Jun 07, 2010 (D Draper) - The best Au value returned 3500 ppb Au from 0.5 m of iron formation. A 0.5 m section of quartz feldspar porphyry returned 2400 ppb Au. A 0.5m section of graphitic metasediment with 20% po assayed 2900 ppm Zn. (T-2443)
