Lithology Comments

Jun 26, 2012 (A Wilson) - Griffin describes it as a wide quartz vein (up to 20 feet)that strikes N.72° E. and dips 60° S. Dyer noted that the quartz occurs in a fractured zone as a series of lenses becoming narrower towards the west. He said the east end of the fractured zone is in greenstone, but the remainder of it is in grey syenite with inclusions.

Mineralization Comments

Jun 26, 2012 (A Wilson) - The mineralization consists of pyrite, tourmaline and galena and is patchy. Samples reportedly returned only a trace of gold. The showing was followed for approximately 2000 feet along strike. Grab samples collected by M.E. mcchesney returned an average of 0.07 oz/t Au and 3.18 oz/t Ag. Fluorite, torumaline and orthoclase are commonly found at the western end of the fractures. Grab samples collected by Brigadier Gold Ltd from the stripped area, returned assays ranging from 307 ppb Au to 7555 ppb Au.
