Nov 04, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - The No. 2 vein is exposed by trenching for 48.8 m. Th quartz parallels the schistosity of the sediments for short distances and then breaks across to new horizons in a zig-zag manner (Assessment report 42E12SW0094). DDH F-4 returned up to 0.11 oz/t Au (3.77 g/t Au) over 10 cm from a quartz vein with trace pyrite. DDH V-1 returned up to 0.03 oz/t Au (1.03 g/t Au) over 0.5 ft from a quartz vein in a mafic metavolcanic (Assessment report 42E12SW0107).
