Point Location Description: Vein in outcrop located in NW part of claim TRS 842 (now 3496, RY180)
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Access is by a bush road leading off of the Stringer road about 7kn south of South Porcupine.
A 1939 report by H.T. Leslie on the Agawa Porcupine Property discusses a 4 ft. quartz vein not hosted in or adjacent to a porphyry in the NW corner of claim TRS 842. The vein is heavily mineralized in places. Channel samples from within a 10ft. deep pit gave assays from trace to $4.90 while surface samples returned up to $1.40. The values are apparently based upon the old gold price of $20.67 an ounce rather than the new gold price of $35.00 per ounce.
