Mar 24, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - Quartz chalcopyrite veins occur in Gowganda sediments, strike E and dip is not reported, but is apparently steeply N. Veins have been traced by drilling for a length of 2600 feet to a depth of 425 feet. Two principal zones: West body indicated for a length of 450 feet; East body indicated for a length of 400 feet, and is separated from West body along strike by 200 feet of almost barren material (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 49). There are good exposures of a quartz veined breccia containing chalcopyrite, pyrite, specularite, magnetite, siderite, and calcite. Two bulk samples were taken in 1968. The first was 8.96 tons had a grade of 1.81% Cu, from which 317 lbs. of Cu were recovered. The second bulk sample was 51 tons and had a grade of 0.62% Cu.

Notes: Veins have been traced by drilling for a length of 2600 feet to a depth of 425 feet. Two principal zones: West body indicated for length of 450 feet; East body indicated for length of 400 feet, and is seperated from West body along strike by 200 feet of almost barren material. Reserves estimated as 95 160 tons averaging 1.72% Cu over average (true) width of 7.3 feet to depth of 200 feet, and alternatively, as between 25 000 and 30 000 tons with an average grade of 2.0% Cu (ODM 1963).
