Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - Bright (1984) reports The claims are largely underlain by mafic to intermediate pillow lavas. However, near the center of the claim group a lenticular band of felsic tuff and tuff breccia containing disseminated to massive pyrite and pyrrhotite occurs in the mafic to intermediate tuffs. The metavolcanics in this area are cut by numeropus dikes and veinlets of quartz-feldspar porphyry, syenite and granodiorite.

Mineralization Comments

Mar 13, 2024 (Sheree Hinz) - Voyager Explorations discovery and subsequent drilling gave results Hole 64-4 at 45.7 - 50.5 ft. below surface intersected massive sulphides including pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite. Assays of this drill hole gave results of 0.03 opt Au and 0.91% Cu. Hole 64-2 intersected bands of massive sulphide including pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite in rhyolite (Bxa). Assays from this hole returned 0.33 opt Au and 0.46% Cu. Drilling done in 1975 by Rio Tinto Canadian Exploration Ltd. included several assays of 0.02 and 0.01 opt Au over 5.0 ft in quartz-calcite veined andesite (hole P-3) with up to 15% modal pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite.
