NTS Grid: 41P12SW
Point Location Description: Drill collar for Kidd Creek 34-5
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: Easy access to the area is possible as drill trails connect the prospect to a gravel road. This gravel road joins the Chester and Yeo access roads, which in turn branch north off the Sultan main haul road.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The mineralfization is hosted in a series of intercalated mafic and felsic metavolcanics. The mafic metavolcanic horizons are generally thicker than the felsic metavolcanics and are dominated by massive flows and pillowed sequences. The felsic rocks have been described as granular tuffs with local quartz eyes. Within the mafic metavolcanics, alteration is locally variable with some sectiosn with strong carbonate and actinolite alteration. Other sections are silicified. The felsic metavolcanics are typically biotitic with some weak carbonate and chlorite alteration.

Jun 12, 2013 (A Wilson) - - Pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are widespread in both the mafic and felsic metavolcanics. These sulphides are disseminated in the rock or form local wispy-string zones. Concentrations are variable and form up to 15% pyrrhotite and 1% chacopyrite. Pyrite tends to be more restricted. Sphalerite, where noted, tends to occur in the stringer zones associated with higher sulplhide concentrations. The zone with high assays is not apparently different from many other intervals from the drill logs. However, only limited assay results are reported. It is notable that only trace amounts of sphalertite were recognized in an interval associated with 0.5% Zn. Kidd Creek reported an intersection of 4.2m with a weighed average of 4.46 g/t Ag, 0.51% Zn and 0.16% Cu.
Jun 12, 2013 (P Bousquet) - The highest intersection in hole YEO-34-5 returned an assay of 2200ppm Cu, 0.764% Zn, 83 ppb Au and 5.2 g/t Ag over 1.5 metres (T-2771).
