Dec 21, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - In 1965 a sulphide occurrence was discovered about 2.4 km east of the molybdenite prospect. Two trenches exposed a highly-sheared graphitic tuff with minor pyrite, pyrrhotite, and traces of chalcopyrite. Channel sampling across a 5 m long trench returned values of 0.95 percent zinc, 0.06 percent copper, and 0.05 percent nickel (Muir, 1982).
