Lithology Comments

Jun 25, 2013 (G Seim) - DDH 84-6 collared in a serpentinized peridotite at a depth of 122 feet. The hole continues in that rock unit to 186.6 feet where it passed into carbonate-talc-chlorite schists. From 226 ft. to 256 ft. the hole cut a green carbonate zone containing many quartz stringers and minor pyrite. The hole continued in carbonate-talc-chlorite schist intersecting a second green carbonate zone from 308 to 360 ft. The hole passed into carbonate-chlorite schists cut by narrow felsic porphyry dikes. From 405.8 to the end of the hole at 436 ft. the hole cut metabasalt.

Mineralization Comments

Jun 25, 2013 (G Seim) - The interval from 189 to 194 ft. down the hole returned an assay of 0.048 oz/t Au and 0.033 oz/t Au on re-assay. This interval contained traces of pyrite and a few quartz stringers. The interval from 243.5 to 245 ft. down the hole returned 0.114 oz/t Au and 0.102 oz/t Au on reassay. This interval within green carbonate altered rock is described as a siliceous zone with 2% ankerite, 15% to 20% fine pyrite and less than 1% fuchsite. The interval of green carbonate altered rock from 308 to 360 ft. averaged 0.018 oz/t Au (52 ft.) with a high assay of 0.046 oz/t Au.



Alteration Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - The hole contained 2 intervals 194.1 to 226 ft. and 308 to 360 of green carbonate rock.
