Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - Exploration diamond drilling by Patino in 1965 resulted in drill hole G1 intersecting zinc-copper values of 0.25% Zn, 0,03% Cu / 4ft. The values were hosted by a black argillite unit that contained some seams of very fine pyrrhotite, odd speck of chalcopyrite at intervals of several inches, and a few fine specks of a red-brown mineral.


Dec 07, 2005 (R Pressacco) - Traces of sphalerite-chalcopyite hosted within an argillite unit.
