Jul 30, 2007 (D Draper) - A chalcopyrite-bearing quartz vein up to 2 feet wide, dipping shallowly to the east, was exposed for 100 feet. Assays returned from 0.02 to 0.7 opt Au. (GR 157, p.248). A chip sample of pyritized quartz taken near the south end of Gagne Trench #1 assayed 0.716 ppm Au. Molybdenum mineralization was noted in the quartz in two other samples taken nearby; while no Mo assays were done, one sample returned 461ppb Au. (T-4951)
