Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Quartz chalcopyrite pyrite veins occur in a shear zone in Nipissing diabase. The zone strikes N70W, dips 90. 6 parallel veins occur across a total width of 120 feet. The principal occurrence consists of 2 parallel veins, each 2 to 6 feet wide, separated by 2 to 3 feet of diabase. This occurence has been traced by drilling for a length of 1200 feet. Best assay from core samples was 3.36% Cu over 2.0 feet. Most assays were less than 1% Cu. (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 49).
