Point Location Description: Collar for ddh B2
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Easy access to the area is possible via a gravel road which used to join the Makwa siding on the CNR main line to Highway 144. However, just east of the area, the gravel road has been washed out. The prospect is a couple of hundred metres from the road.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The mineralization is hosted in a medium grained, off white to dark greenish grey gabbro. There are some local grain size variations and a blue quartz is present where the rock is fine-grained. Elsewhere, feldspar grains form glomeroporphyritic aggregates. Overall the unit is similar to the more mafic phases of the Chester Granitoid Complex.
Jun 14, 2013 (P Bousquet) - The gabbro seems to contain decimetre to metre intervals of medium-coarse grained dark green hornblendite that hosts strongly disseminated, stringers or rare centimetres cluster of sulphides (T-6283).

| 2 | Pyrite | Economic | Gangue |
Jun 14, 2013 (A Wilson) - Disseminated pyrrhotite is widespread in the unit forming about 1% of the rock together with trace amounts of chalcopyrite. Cubic pyrite is dominant in the finer recrystallized and sheared phases. Up to 2% pyrrhotite and greater than trace amounts of chalcopyrite occure locally. No assays are reported for this occurrence.
Jun 14, 2013 (P Bousquet) - Hole MR10-05 drilled in the area intersected one metre of hornblendite which returned an assay of 3730 ppm Cu (T-6283).
