Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - A grab sample collected by the OGS in 1992 returned an assay of 0.0315% Cu, <10 ppm Pb and 28 ppm Zn.


Nov 29, 2018 (P Bousquet) - A grab sample by the property owner returned an assay of 0.181 oz/t gold and 0.61% molybdenum. A visit of the property could not identify the location of the source of the sample (WP Johns.1). The description of the sample in the file is strangely close to what comes out of the Hemlo camp.
