Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Quartz chalcopyrite vein, striking E cuts Gowganda sediments. The vein was tested by drilling over a strike length of 1050 feet. Core widths of the vein ranged from 2.7 to 27.5 feet; most intersections were from 2.7 to 10.4 feet wide. Assay results from core samples ranged from 0.06% Cu to 1.40% Cu over widths ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 feet. Most assay results were less than 1 % Cu. (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 70).
