Mar 27, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - Muir (2000) describes the showing as fracture-controlled molybdenite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite in sheared hornblende schist and quartz-feldspar porphyries. Narrow quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes and quartz veins are conformable to shear planes in mafic rocks near the Dotted Lake Pluton. The zone has been stripped for 400 feet (121.9 m) along strike and samples returned up to 3.1 ppm Au and 0.59% Mo (Assessment report 42C13SW0142).
