Jul 25, 2008 (A Wilson) - The Jameland Mine is located 1.2 km southeast and along strike with the Kam-Kotia Mine. The deposit lies within the felsic metavolcanic rocks of the Kamiskotia Volcanic Complex. The Kamiskotia Volcanic Complex overlies and is intruded by the Kamiskotia Gabbroic Complex. The KVC has been dated at 2701± 1.4 to 2698± 1.3 Ma.

Jul 25, 2008 (A Wilson) - The ore is contained in approximately 10 irregularly shaped pods that plunge 30-35°SE within a sheared sequence of basalt, andesite and felsic welded tuff. The host rocks are chloritized and brecciated.

Apr 26, 2019 (A Wilson) - At the extreme west end of the zone, the sulphide body is one single compact mass having a horizontal width of about 50 feet while 900 feet to the east, near the centre of the zone, sulphide bodies are spread over a horizontal width of 300 feet. Individual lenses have a 100- to 300-foot vertical extent, 100- to 400-foot strike length and an average width of 25 feet. They are confined to a zone about 1500 feet long and 200 feet wide. Stringer type, copper ore is confined to the upper lenses and massive zinc rich ore to the lower lenses. The massive sulphide ore has a combined sulphide content that ranges from 60 to 90% with copper values of more than 1% and zinc values from 5-10%. Assay values of 0.17 oz/t Au, 0.46% Zn and 1.57% Cu over 2 feet were recovered from sections of andesite in drill core. Additional assays from early diamond drilling intersected: 6.40% Cu and 0.17 oz/t Au over 5.2 feet; and 3.64% Zn over 2.5 feet.
Date: Mar 25, 2008
Geologist: A Wilson
Notes: The ore zone strikes N63W and dips steeply to the north.
