Apr 17, 2015 (J Suma-Momoh) - Mineralization consists of massive and disseminated sulphides (pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena) in quartz veins and highly silicified wall rock. Scheelite occurs as thin plates and sparsely disseminated within the quartz. Gold has reportedly been found in the quartz veins. Dowaluck reported 0.084 ounces/ton of gold over 65.7 feet as some of the best intervals from Neighbors Resources’ diamond drilling in the vicinity of the shaft in 1987. Sedex Mining Corp. reported 2.62 g/t gold over 13.72 m, as best result from its 1995 diamond drilling program. In 2013, SGX Resources Inc. reported 2.03 g/t gold over 1 m, and 19.5 g/t gold over 1 m from the shaft vein area.
