Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Two principal quartz chalcopyrite veins, striking NW, cut Gowganda sediments. Vein traced intermittently for a length of about 8000 feet and width ranges from 3 to 8 feet. Assay results from core samples ranged from 0.04% Cu over 1.4 feet to 2.43% Cu over 1.7 feet. Most assay results were less than 1% Cu (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 17-18).
