Jan 12, 2023 (Q Unknown) - DDH TU69-1 intersected numerous intervals of what are described as massive and pillowed dacites that contain 2-3% disseminated pyrite. For example, one 30-foot interval from 226.5-256.0 feet contained 2-7% disseminated pyrite, traces of arsenopyrite, and 60% quartz veining in the 251.0-256.0 foot section. Although no assays are reported in the drill log, this description raises the possibility that these dacite units are carbonatized-sericitized mafic volcanic units and may hold potential for hosting gold mineralization similar to that found at the Owl Creek Mine.
