Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - In 904-69-1, the interval from 288.2 ft. to 290.7 ft. (2.5 ft.) assayed 0.85% Zn. In 904-70-5, the interval from 434.7 ft. to 437.0 ft. (2.5 ft.) is described as a weakly brecciated rhyodactie healed with threads of sph ut to 1/16 in thick. Rock also shows finely disseminated sph with a few grains of galena. Assays handwritten onto the drill log suggest results of 1.06 opt Ag and 0.05% Zn. A similar interval in amydaloidal lava appears to have assayed 0.05 opt Ag and 0.75% Zn. Further down the hole at 667.9 ft. to 669.7 ft. an interval of graphitic tuff assayed 2.15% Zn and possibly 0.67 opt Ag. The interval from 669.7 to 673.1 appears to have assayed 0.66 opt Ag and 0.26% Zn. The interval from 673.1 to 677.8 appears to have assayed 0.04 opt Ag and 0.66% Zn.
