Mar 29, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Disseminations of pyrite occur between the quartz stringers and are more concentrated near the stringers. The free gold is usually found in areas of pyrite disseminations, but in some cases, it is found within the quartz. REF: Geological Report (by John R. Boissoneault, dated August 30, 1983; page 6) in KL 0136. Channel samples from the South Dyke have returned assay including 0.39 oz/t Au, over 22 feet. REF: Geological Report (by John R. Boissoneault, dated August 30, 1983; page 7) in KL 0136. Other samples from the Dyke have returned assay results ranging from nil, through 0.027, to 0.042 oz/t Au. (REF: Assay results from X-Ray Assay Laboratories Ltd., dated 06-Sept-84; In KL 0136). The 1946 diamond drilling program returned assay including 0.043 oz/t Au, over 13 feet in Hole number 6. REF: Geological Report (by John R. Boissoneault, dated August 30, 1983; page 8) in KL 0136. Drill holes number 1 and 4, 100 feet apart in the Carbonate Zone, have intersected values of 0.137 oz/t Au over 9.3 feet, and 0.095 0z/t over 3.3 feet, respectively. Seven other holes on the zone produce negligible values. REF: Report by B.M. Arnott, (in KL 1016, page 5).
Mar 29, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - 'All the rocks have experienced varying degrees of carbonatization, and this phenomenon is especially concentrated in areas subjected to tectonic pressures (i.e., adjacent faults, etc.), and in the volcanics, at or near the intrusive contacts of felsite dykes.' REF: Geological report by Ralph V. Stewart (dated September 19, 1984; page 7) in KL 0136. In the Carbonate Shear Zone, the rock now consists essentially of calcite and some sericite with some finely disseminated magnetite; unevenly distributed pyrite.
