Geology Comments

Jul 16, 2007 (A Pace) - Narrow fractures and quartz veins in Archean mafic metavolcanics. Drilling and IP survey results suggest that the mineralization is confined to a zone striking N77W, dipping steeply, which has a length of less than 450 feet, a width of less than 100 feet, and which probably does not extend below a depth of 600 feet. The best assays from individual holes ranged from nil to 3.0% Cu over 6 feet. Most assay results were less than 1% Cu (File SSM-1167) (ODM 1969 MRC 12 P 62).
