Intermediate lava flow-unsubdivided 1 Andesite Host

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of massive andesitic flows with narrow graphitic interbeds. Sulphides are disseminated throughout the intermediate metavolcanics. The andesite is intruded by a feldspar porphyry sill.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The best intersection was 0.68% Ni and 0.26% Cu over 3 ft. A drill hole completed by Hollinger (MA1-1-75) returned a best assay of 0.62% Ni and 0.14% Cu over 5 ft at 380 ft in fragmental/cherty andesite. Diamond drill holes drilled in the same vicinity by Falconbridge in 1996 returned Ni values up to 4440 ppm over 1 m.
