Aug 27, 2014 (A Wilson) - Grab samples from the vein returned assays of 0.93 oz/t Au over 1.7 ft and 0.07 oz/t Au over 0.8 ft. Grab samples collected by Macabie in 1965 returned values of 0.14 oz/t Au and 0.18 oz/t Ag. An extension of this vein to the SE returned an assay of 0.03 oz/t Au, 0.05 oz/t Ag and 0.20 oz/t Au, 0.26 oz/t Ag. Drill intersections on the vein have yielded assays of 0.04 to 0.72 oz/t Au over widths of 1.7 to 30 feet. Samples collected in 1946 from the Coniagas property adjacent to the Mickelson property returned assays ranging from $1.40 Au over 3 feet to $63.00 Au over 4 feet.
