Jan 12, 2016 (Therese Pettigrew) - A sample of mixed tuff and sediment from 123.8-125.8’ in DDH BA-1 returned 2400 ppb Au. DDH BA-1. A major shear zone with a dextral displacement strikes ENE through Cache Lake and continues almost EW, south of Cigar Lake. A fifty foot wide shear zone has been observed running along the Microwave Tower access road (L 15 - 36 W/4 N). This shear has also been intersected in drill holes BA 4, 5, and 6 (AFRI 42C12NW0179).
