Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Discontinuous narrow quartz-carbonate veins and stringers are concentrated in the sheared contact zone. Within these milky veins, there are local seams (<3mm) which contain clear medium-grained quartz together with sericite and tourmaline. Assays from a quartz-sulphide vein in a sheared diorite reportedly graded up to 0.5 g/t Au (1987)/ A grab sample collected by the OGS in 1994 returned an assay of 0.01 g/t Au and 0.1 g/t Ag.
