Jun 11, 2020 (G Seim) - Luhta et. al (1997) report the 17 zone occurs at the contact between mafic volcanic rocks to the north and carbonatized ultramafic rocks to the south. Gold mineralization occurs in the mafic rocks which contain disseminated pyrite and are carbonatized, sericitized, silicified and slightly hematized. 7 holes were drilled on 3 north-south sections.
