Oct 22, 2010 (A Wilson) - There are 2 types of disseminated sulphide occurrences: 1) Py-Cpy in meta gabbro. 2) Py-Cpy-Po-Pn (+Pt) in a faulted block of amphibolite (metasediment) which resembles a dike in the metagabbro Grab samples collected by Pays-Bas Prospecting, from trench II returned 0.37% Ni and 0.92% Cu over 8 feet. Grab samples collected from trench III returned 1.28% Ni and trace Cu over 12 feet. Platinum values up to 0.03% Pt were obtained from grab samples from trench III. Cobalt values up to 0.03% also were returned from the site. Grab samples collected by Mustang Minerals Corp. returned 0.86% Cu+Ni, 0.01% co and 534 ppb PGM.
