Sep 02, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - Large, flat or gently dipping quartz veins were found in the T.51862 and T.51864 open cuts. Chalcopyrite and pyrite occur sporadically in the veins and A.S. Bayne reported that gold up to at least 3 oz/t had been found. In places, large cubes of pyrite were present. Carbonate also occurred within the quartz vein. The occurrence of cobalt bloom in light green schist making the footwall of the quartz vein at the T.51864 open cut is presumably due to cobalt arsenides in the schist although none were detected (Assessment report 41I16NW0103).
