Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of serpentinized, brecciated and amygdaloidal dacite and serpentinized peridotite. At depth, the peridotite shows shearing and is described as a talc-sericite schist.

Mineralization Comments

Aug 14, 2018 (A Wilson) - The best assay returned 0.24% Ni and 0.31% Cu over 5 ft in peridotite. The best gold value was 0.04 oz/t Au over 2 ft in brecciated dacite. This same sample returned 0.10% Ni and 0.15% Zn. NOTE: logs show results for Cr, but writer interprets this as a typographical error for Cu (T-720).
