Apr 20, 2016 (A Wilson) - The best assay from sample AB-85-161 returned 50 ppb Au, nil Ag, 383 ppm Cu, 165 ppm Pb, 284 ppm Zn, 5 ppm Mo and 3 ppm As.
Apr 20, 2016 (C Salo) - About 50 m northwest of the no.4 post of claim no. 296908 (the southwest quarter of the south half of lot 7, concession 4, Playfair Township) in patented claim no. 11193, several overgrown pits and trenches have been blasted into coarse grained basalt and interflow argillite which host narrow feldspar-quartz- calcite stringers and dikelets of unknown orientation. These workings were overgrown and detritus filled when examined by the present writer in 1985. Waste rock in piles adjacent to these pits consists of variably feldspathized and Fe- dolomitized 1-2 mm grained basalt. Only rarely was anomalous sulfide mineralization observed and, where present, this consists of disseminated pyrite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite-galena which is confined to the feldspathic stringer material. A selected sample of waste rock (sample no. AB-85-161) averaged 50 ppb of gold, and 383, 165, and 284 ppm of copper, lead, and zinc, respectively. Samples: AB-85-158: Pit muck grab. Dark green magnetic 1 mm grained basalt. The sample is incipiently Fe-dolomitized. AB-85-159: Pit muck grab. Dark green weakly magnetic chloritic argillite containing 3-5% of very fine grained disseminated pyrite.
