Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Quartz sulphide vein in sheared mafic metavolcanic rocks and granite. Zone strikes NW and dips 70E to 70W. The mineralized portion of the shear zone is from 6 feet to 12 feet in width, the length of the zone has not been determined. Grab samples of quartz-sulphide material assayed over 2% Cu; grab samples of metavolcanic material from the shear zone assayed 0.67% Cu to 1.01% Cu. A channel sample across the shear zone assayed 0.67% Cu over 15 feet. A sample of syenite adjacent to the shear zone assayed 2.01% Cu over 3 feet (File SSM-621) (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 64-65).
