Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Fracture vein along margin of diabase in sedimentary rocks. Samples from the area at the west end of McCool Lake, taken at intervals of 25 to 50 feet along the vein for several hundred feet, yielded average values of 1.5% Cu, and from 0.02 to 0.04 oz/ton Au and Ag. Samples from d.d. by Teck ranged from 0.13% Cu over 20 feet to 2.29% Cu over 6.1 feet. Weighted average of d.d. samples was 0.66% Cu over average width of 9.4 feet. Vite Uranium Mines Ltd. reported assay of 1.20% Cu, 0.005 oz/ton Au, over width of 5.1 feet from d.d. sample. (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 88).
