Jun 10, 2013 (A Wilson) - Two visible mineralized beds averaged 4 inches in width and could be traced for 150 t along strike. A grab sample collected by the OGS in 1967 assayed 0.56% Cu, 0.15 oz/t Ag and trace amounts of Au, Pb, Ni and V. Freewest grab sample 13372, collected from the same vicinity as the Falconbridge drill hole, assayed 263 ppm Co, 3437 ppm Cu and 737 ppm Ni.
