Mineralization Comments

Jan 25, 2016 (A Wilson) - GAO-17 Sample 91749 returned 220 ppb Au and 72 ppm As and is slightly enriched in Co, Ag, Ba, La, Lu, W and Th. This sample is significant as it was taken from immediately above bedrock in a till unit interpreted as basal till or weathered bedrock. In addition, the elevation in concentration of a host of Au indicator elements is significant.
