Lithology Comments

Jun 21, 2012 (D Guidon) - Hole collared in syenite. Hole crosses into mafic trachyte.Feldspar in the syenite is strongly altered to white mica and secondary hematite, fluorite and barite in all rocks, suggesting mineralization is associated with oxidized alkaline fluids.

Mineralization Comments

Jan 27, 2015 (A Wilson) - Mineralization consisted mainly of chalcopyrite with minor bornite, pyrite, magnetite. Blue-grey quartz veining was observed in both rock types but was more abundant in the volcanics. The chalcopyrite was found disseminated and in fractures in both, the host rocks, and in the blue-grey quartz veining. Biralger's hole C-91-2 returned 0.72 g/t Au; 1.44 g/ Ag and 0.17% Cu over 99.0m (324.8 ft) from 20.5m to 119.5m.
