Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Magnetite sulphide rich skarn in Espanola Limestone. A shear zone along diabase - iron formation (altered limestone) contact is silicified, chloritized and contains chalcopyrite and pyrite. The zone strikes N55W, dips 40S and has an exposed strike length of 130 feet, with a maximum width of 35 feet. Low copper values, generally less than 1% were obtained in drilling. Most d.d. on the property was performed to evaluate the iron occurrence. Iron: True widths intersected in drilling range between 5 and 33 feet. Assayed sections include 23.2% Fe over 8.0 feet; 43.7% Fe over 13.2 feet, 44.5% Fe over 15.0 feet, and 51.15% Fe over 10.0 feet. (ODM 1968 MRC 11 P 20).
