Jul 13, 2020 (G Seim) - J.E. Hawley (1926) reports ---To the east of the grey granite on this claim, a narrow vein of quartz and calcite cuts directly across a northward-trending band of white and black, banded iron formation, which consists largely of finely crystalline quartz and magnetite and simulates a quartz vein. It has a width of 17 feet and lies between massive, dark green basalt and a bed of pillow lava, in which angular fragments of the iron formation are embedded. A small trap dike, two to three feet wide, cuts across the iron formation and nearby, a small tongue of highly altered sericite schist with eyes of blues quartz intrudes the pillow lava. The latter is closely related in composition to the neighboring granite. Assays of the cherty iron formation along the fracture in which the small vein occurs are reported give good assays over a length of 7 ft. Since the writer visited the area, discoveries of WIRE GOLD by Sydney Beanland have been reported. The mineralization in the fractures in the cherty iron formation is apparently directly related to the granitic intrusive. Nelson Hogg (1946) The gold in this case occurs in gash veins of quartz and white calcite extending into the I.F. from the footwall, at a minor fold.

Jul 13, 2020 (A Wilson) - The occurrence is described as a quartz-carbonate vein cross cutting an oxide facies iron formation. The iron formation lies adjacent to pillowed mafic metavolcanic rocks. The iron formation is tightly folded and a series of gash veins occurs close to the nose of the fold. These veins extend from the footwall and peter out towards the hanging wall.

Jul 13, 2020 (G Seim) - Nelson Hogg (1946)- The I.F. is 10 to 30 feet wide and carries massive pyrrhotite, but no gold values. Its general strike is north-south, and its dip is about 80 E. surface stripping has uncovered a tight fold in the iron formation overturned and dipping east. Just below the nose of this fold on the W limb, a series of gash veins occur extending from the footwall and petering out towards the hanging wall. These veins are filled with quartz and coarsely crystalline white calcite. The quartz occurs as stringers and a vuggy material with numerous euhedral crystals extending inward into the vugs. The quartz stringers carry pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, and a light grey mineral said to be a selenite. The wire gold occurs in the calcite, but usually tailing off from a concentration of sulphides originating in one of the quartz stringers. The selenite is closely associated with the gold....
Jul 13, 2020 (A Wilson) - The wire gold occurs in the calcite, but usually tailing off from a concentration of sulphides. Gold values up to $308.00 Au per ton. Grab samples collected by Gowest in 1982 retuned assays ranging from 0.01 oz/t Au to 0.06 oz/t Au.
