Diorite 2 Diorite Crystalline Host

Lithology Comments

Oct 08, 2014 (J Suma-Momoh) - The felsic intrusive probably has the greatest aerial extent of any of the rocks on the property. The surface is rough and slightly decomposed, making its identification difficult. It strikes N25W and dips 40 to 70 degrees east. Some sections are probably rhyolite and others trachyte.

Mineralization Comments

Oct 08, 2014 (J Suma-Momoh) - >10,000 ppm (1.86 %) Zn assay result from Trench # 5, sample WF 109. Host rock is dacite with sections of rhyolite; intruded by calcite-galena-pyrite-bearing quartz vein Eleven (11) drill holes (by Paymaster Consolidated Mines Ltd.) gave assay results including: 4.6 % Pb; 14.6 % Zn, 0.68 oz/t Ag (Hole C5 at 20-23 feet depth). The average diamond drill values give 2.73 % Pb, 8.7 % Zn, and 0.395 oz/t Ag, over a total drill length of 322.17 m. An average of the surface samples collected from the site by Paymaster Consolidated Mines returned $76.42 in gross metal content of Ag, Pb, Zn across 75 ft. A grab sample collected in 1994 by L. Luhta from a trench returned an assay of 0.029 oz/t Au.
