Sep 25, 2023 (Q Unknown) - The pits expose a large whitq quartz vein cutting Serpent quartzites. The pits are flooded and the rock exposures are extremely weathered and gossaned. The vein strikes approximately 075 degrees and dips near vertical. It varies in width from 2' to 25' and is traceable for 700' along strike. Minor amounts of pyrite and pyrrhotite occur locally in the quartzites and the greywackes.

Sep 25, 2023 (Q Unknown) - The prospect is found on base line at line 0. It consists of two 10' X 15' test pits located approximately 100' apart. The quartz vein contains large clusters of pyrite and minor chalcopyrite in amounts up to 20*. The quartz vein exposures to the east and west of the two test pits were void of any mineralization. Minor amounts of pyrite and pyrrhotite occur locally in the quartzites and the greywackes. 1957 drill results: 2ft @ 0.14% Cu 0.52% Ni & 1.5ft @ 0.07% Cu 0.52% Ni; 3ft @ 0.1% Cu 0.56% Ni & 2.2ft @ 0.19% Cu 0.33% Ni. 1.9ft @ 0.19% Cu 0.48% Ni. 1995 grab sample: 17,100ppm Cu 5799ppm Ni 1088ppm Co 36ppb Au 71ppb Pd.
