Mineralization Comments

Jun 12, 2020 (G Seim) - One of several cherty interflow sedimentary beds intersected in DDH9813, the interval from 245.65 to 249.8 ft. contained up to 15 percent pyrrhotite, 7 percent chalcopyrite, 5 percent sphalerite and 3 percent pyrite. The assayed interval 245.5 to 248.5 ft. (3.0 ft.) returned 0.52 percent Zn and 0.128 percent Cu.
