Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Quartz chalcopyrite veins cut sediments of the Gowganda Formation. Veins strike E and dip steeply N. Principle vein has been traced for a length of 1000 feet, and ranges in width from 8 to 20 feet. There are four shoots on surface, as follows: (1) 310 feet long, 6.3 feet wide, averaging 3% Cu; (2) 60 feet long, 9.7 feet wide, averaging 1.9 % Cu; (3) 45 feet long, 6.6 feet wide, averaging 2.3% Cu; (4) 110 feet long, 9.6 feet wide, averaging 0.9% Cu. Nine holes drilled in 1929 gave copper values ranging from 1 to 4.8% over core lengths of 2.5 to 14.5 feet (ODM 1957). Weighted average of trench samples taken from the zone 500 feet W of Rockey Lake was 4.1% Cu, 0.03 oz/ton Au over 7.1 feet. Weighted average of 4 drill holes under trenches was 2.7% Cu, 0.03 oz/ton over 9.1 feet. (File SSM-451) (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 93).
