Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - Recently reported to be semi massive veins of pyrite and chalcopyrite with some native copper.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Samples collected at the time of discovery reportedly returned values of 171 g/t Au in a 5 cm vein. The best assays to come from the channel sampling completed in 1936 was 12 g/t Au and the best assay from the diamond drilling was 14 g/t Au across 0.75 m. Grab samples from a vein in 1979 averaged 3-9% Cu and 8.5 g/t Au.
