Mineralization Comments

Dec 14, 2012 (A Wilson) - Pyrite occurs as a fine-grained massive variety which occurs in pods, lenses and streaks from 1 inch to several feet in length. Pyrite also occurs as a coarsely crystalline variety embedded in quartz. A sample collected fro Arntfeld Gold Mines Ltd. indicated a shoot 115 feet long and 2 feet wide that averaged $11.37 Au (at $35.00/ounce). Grab samples collected by ODM in 1940 returned 0.09 oz/t Au and trace Ag from fine-grained pyrite; and 0.18 oz/t Au from coarse-grained pyrite in quartz. Assays from the Arntfield drilling returned values ranging from 0.14 oz/t Au t 0.18 oz/t Au.
