Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Quartz sulphide vein cuts Gowganda Formation. Vein strikes E and apparently dips N. It has been traced for 1000 feet along strike, and has a maximum exposed width of 27 feet. Chip samples from vein assayed trace Cu, trace Au, over 10 feet; 0.22% Cu, trace Au, over 10 feet; and 4.13% Cu, 0.01 oz/ton Au, over 3 feet. Assays from d.d. were generally less than 0.70% Cu.
