May 27, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - Disseminated to massive pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite occur at and near the contacts of two small gabbroic dikes in sheared and silicified argillite. The mineralized zone is probably less than 200 feet in length; sulphides generally form less than 10 percent of the rock. Four selected grab samples assayed 0.52 to 0.94% Cu, 0.18 to 2.22% Ni (Shklanka, 1969).
