Point Location Description: DDH H1-95 location
Location Method: Based on Assessment
In 1992, grab samples from vein material ran from 288 ppb to a high of 5446 ppb. Anomalous Ni values (1700 ppm) were obtained from sulphide rich bands in altered porphyritic tuffs.; In 1995, Hole H1-95 was drilled and assayed. It returned anomalous values in nickel, particularly in zones showing brecciated fragments exhibiting spinifex textures and/or fuchsite. A high assay of 1156 ppm Ni was obtained from a 5.2 foot interval near the north boundary of the zone. Copper values as high as 2328 ppm were also encountered throughout the brecciated zones with the best value associated with a grafitic interflow band. Zinc values were anomalous in the upper part of the hole with a high value of 1200 ppm being obtained from a near surface black carbonaceous interflow.
