Mineralization Comments

Aug 20, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - Traces of gold and silver were obtained on assay and the best copper assays were 0.82 percent Cu over 0.7 feet and 0.47 percent Cu over 2.5 feet. Pyrite and chalcopyrite were located in the meta-rhyolite. Partial assays from drill core drilled in 1971 showed 'low nickel content of about 0.20 percent or less'. The nickel minerals were millerite and pentlandite. Cobalt conglomerate, peridotite and diabase were intersected in the holes.
