Mineralization Comments

Jul 25, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - Three parallel shear zones with quartz-carbonate stringers have been exposed by trenching and stripping. The southernmost of the three zones has been traced on the surface for a distance of 70 m in an east-west direction. Sampling indicated a grade of 0.13 oz/t Au (4.45 g/t Au) across an average width of 23 cm for a length of 51.8 m. The second zone is located 15 m north and 60-75 m east of the south zone. Over a length of 15.2 m, its grade was estimated to be 0.09 oz/t Au (3.09 g/t Au across an average width of 68.5 cm. The third zone parallels the south zone, 48.75 m to the north, and has ben traced by trenching for 27 m (Horwood and Pye, 1952).
