Lithology Comments

Apr 24, 2015 (A Wilson) - Cominco intersected syenite porphyry that is moderately fractured and silicified along fractures. Mafic minerals are slightly altered to mainly chlorite. Two stages of veins are present, an early, relatively barren stage of quartz veinlets and a later stage of quartz-carbonate veins containing small amounts of chalcopyrite, molybdenite, pyrite, fluorite and some tourmaline. The sulphides have a very limited distribution.

Mineralization Comments

Apr 24, 2015 (A Wilson) - A trench on claim MR.12343 (north end of Child’s Red Lake claims) returned 0.01 oz/t Au and a trace of silver from a highly silicified and pyritized zone at the contact with a diabase dike. Assays from the Pacific Comox sampling returned 0.03g/t Au, 17g/t Ag, 0.3 % Cu and 0.14% Mo.
