Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - Literature references to this occurrence report it as a nickel occurrence; however, no Ni assays were found for either the float boulders or the showings (outcrops?) in their vicinity in the reports originally filed by the company. The only assay data on file indicates that 2 (grab?) samples were taken from a showing near the road and assayed 0.31% and 0.35% Cu; one of these also assayed 0.09 opt Ag. Three samples of float along road (as noted on map) assayed from 0.07% to 0.19% Cu. (AF T-490) (NOTE: the grade units are assumed--no units are given on map).
